    Wei Cunshi said bluntly: "You can accept it with confidence. This thing is made of ivory, and it cannot be auctioned. It is said to be worth 200,000 yuan, but in fact it will definitely not sell for that much. And to me, this thing is just for use."  It¡¯s a reference to engraving technology, but it doesn¡¯t make money from it.¡±

    Wei Cunshi tried to persuade him, but Meng Zitao accepted it due to his kindness.

    At this time, Yang Jinfang said to Meng Zitao with a smile on his face: "Teacher Meng, I wonder if I can ask you for a piece of calligraphy?"

    "Mom." Yu Xiaoyan teased her mother. A painting of other people's words is worth hundreds of thousands. You still ask, even if your family is rich, you can't be so prodigal, right?

    Yang Jinfang glared at her daughter: "What are you doing? I'm not asking Teacher Meng to work for free!"

    While speaking, she took out a pendant from her bag and put it on the table.

    "Teacher Meng, do you think this pendant is suitable?"

    "Is this a photo box pendant?" Meng Zitao asked casually.

    I believe everyone has seen on TV or in movies the kind of pendant that opens with photos inside. The pendant that Yang Jinfang took out is this kind of pendant.

    Yang Jinfang nodded and said: "Yes, it's a photo box pendant. It's been a few years, but there are no photos in it. And you see there is a piece of malachite inlaid on it. The value of this thing is not very high, but look at it.  The shape is not carved, but formed naturally, which is very rare.¡±

    "Naturally formed?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised.

    Malachite was called "green green", "stone green" or "green Langgan" in ancient my country.  Malachite gets its beautiful name because its color resembles the green spots on a peacock's feathers.  It is produced in the oxidation zone of copper sulfide deposits and often coexists with other copper-containing minerals (azurite, chalcocite, cuprite, natural copper, etc.).

    This stone is a copper ore rock with a dense and fine texture, a hardness of about 5 degrees, and a copper content of 57.5%. It comes in emerald green, dark green, pink green, sky blue and other colors; its texture includes concentric patterns with alternating color bands, bunch-like radial patterns, and velveteen rings.  Patterns, etc., are in the shape of cryptocrystalline aggregates, opaque, showing glass and silk luster; morphological structures include grape-like, stalactite-like, crust-like, velvet-like, crystal cluster-like, etc., with grape-like stalactite being the most common; natural  The shapes resemble mountains, rivers, forests, green mountains, strange peaks and caves, or birds, beasts and figures.

    The piece of malachite inlaid on the pendant looks like a peacock in full bloom. It is so lifelike that at first glance, one might think it was carved. Many people would be surprised if they knew it was formed naturally.

    Meng Zitao picked up the pendant with surprise, but in the process, he happened to notice Yu Xiaoyan's somewhat surprised expression from the corner of his eye, and thought, is there something wrong with this pendant?

    This is a photo box pendant made of gold. Because it has been there for some years, the surface has become a little darkened. Based on Meng Zitao's experience, this should be a natural formation.

    ??For those who don¡¯t know much about gold jewelry, they will definitely wonder why gold jewelry turns black after being worn for a long time?  Will I buy fake goods?

    In fact, the reason for the blackening of gold jewelry is that sweat and other substances discharged from the human body will react chemically with the silver and copper in the gold jewelry, producing deep black silver chloride and copper sulfide. This chemical salt sometimes comes from  If gold jewelry falls off, it will also pollute the wearer's skin, leaving very obvious black stains.

    The easiest way to clean this kind of oxidation is with mild soap and a soft-bristled brush (baby toothbrush is also acceptable).  Avoid using toothpaste containing abrasives.  After cleaning the gold jewelry, you can wipe it dry with an old towel made of cotton wool or place it on it to air dry.

    Closer to home, the most eye-catching thing about the pendant is the inlaid malachite. This piece of malachite is indeed not big. It is probably about the same size as a one-yuan coin. Malachite of this size is not expensive in the market, but the strange thing is this.  The shape of the malachite is not carved but formed naturally.

    Meng Zitao could see this at a glance, and there was no problem.  Therefore, such malachite is quite rare.  However, this malachite is too small after all. Although it is rare, its value is limited. As for how much it can be sold for, it is really hard to judge. It still depends on personal preference.

    Then, Meng Zitao opened the photo box. It was empty. There were no photos of anyone inside, and it didn't look like anything unusual.

    Since it was cloudy today and it was morning, the lights were on in the room. Meng Zitao closed the photo box. When he closed the photo box to a certain position, he vaguely seemed to see something.

    So, he pretended to open the photo box casually. Under normal circumstances, he found nothing. It was not until the moment the photo box was closed that his eyes caught some information.

    "It turns out that the 'phonology' is excellent.  "

    The full name of "Yin Yun" is "Guanyin Yun", which means Tie Guanyin.  In addition to the appearance characteristics, the quality characteristics of Tieguanyin can be summarized as having "phonology".

    After brewing Tieguanyin, the aroma is astounding, the soup is the same as mung bean water, the taste is delicious and memorable, and the "yin" comes from the special aroma and taste of Tieguanyin.

    The aroma of Tieguanyin is rich and noble, fresh and refreshing, like the orchids in the empty valley, nourishing the heart and spleen, and making people full of interest; when the Tieguanyin is spoken, it has a mellow and fresh fragrance, sliding down the throat, refreshing and sweet, with an endless aftertaste, and all worries are gone.

    Some people say that drinking the best King Guanyin in Tieguanyin will give you a superhuman and holy feeling, as if you have transformed into an immortal and left all worldly things behind. This most true and wonderful feeling is probably why people appreciate the unique charm of Tieguanyin.  The origin of the name "Guanyin Yun".

    Next, Wei Cunshi brewed the tea leaves with skillful techniques and distributed the tea soup: "Please taste it."

    Meng Zitao smiled slightly and picked up the tea cup. Before tasting the tea, he first observed the color of the soup. He saw that the soup was golden, rich and clear.  Hold the cup and smell it lightly. It has a unique aroma that is fragrant and long-lasting.  Finally, sip it carefully into your mouth, smell it while sipping it, pour it lightly and drink it carefully. The taste is mellow and slightly fragrant with honey.  After drinking, the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks, the taste is sweet, and the mind feels relaxed and happy.

    "Good tea!" Meng Zitao praised it.

    Wei Cunshi finished a cup of tea with an intoxicating look on his face: "The tea is good, but it's a pity that there isn't much left. It's hard to say whether we'll be able to drink it next year."

    "What's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked.

    Wei Cunshi sighed: "Hey, my friend's father was also stupid and fell into the scam of a scammer. He said that there are some policies to benefit the people when buying commemorative coins. The value of each set varies, but it does not exceed 1,000 yuan. It is not only valuable for collection, but also  It can increase in value and sell for money. After two months of depositing it, it can be exchanged for money in the bank and increase in value. As soon as he heard this, he bought tens of thousands of dollars, but he was deceived. The old man couldn't think about it for a while, and finally committed suicide by drinking medicine. "

    Zhou Yide said angrily: "These scammers are so abominable. When they use this kind of money, don't they feel any guilt in their hearts?"

    "What you are saying is nonsense. Since you have become a liar, there is no humanity at all. If you ask me, once the liar is caught, he should be sentenced to death!"

    Wei Cunshi waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not mention this disappointing thing, let's continue drinking tea."

    After drinking tea for a while, we talked about the jade.

    Meng Zitao asked: "Teacher Wei, you must have been studying sculpture for a long time, right?"

    Wei Cunshi said: "That's right, I started to be interested in carving when I was fifteen years old. Later, I became a teacher through my father and learned jade carving. But I don't have a good temper.  I provoked my master to kick me out, so I thought, I might as well figure it out on my own, until now."

    After hearing these words, Meng Zitao said with admiration: "It seems that you must have suffered a lot in these years."

    "It is no exaggeration to say that I am completely enjoying the hardships."

    Wei Cunshi said: "It may not seem difficult for us to carve a jade carving. In fact, it is much more complicated. We must first examine the jade, observe the appearance, color, quality, and cracks of the jade, and then determine the size, shape, and texture of the jade.  color, texture and texture to conceive and design.¡±

    "As we all know, there are many types of jadeite with complex and changeable colors. Even different parts of the same jadeite raw material have different species, water, colors, etc. This requires us to repeatedly examine a piece of jadeite from various angles to discover the beauty in it.  and shortcomings.¡±

    "The next step is to compose the picture through mental activities such as association and imagination, and design a suitable carving theme in the mind. Therefore, reviewing jade is a very important step in the creation of jade carvings, which can kill many brain cells. Continue  The next step is to set up the form, control the form, and convey the spirit. Each step requires a lot of energy and time"

    Wei Cunshi talked eloquently. On the one hand, he was complaining, and on the other hand, he also told a lot of knowledge about jade carvings, which benefited Meng Zitao and Zhou Yide a lot.

    After the conversation was almost over, Meng Zitao asked about the fou cover (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
