    Uncle Wu put the jade belt plate back into the box and asked with a smile: "Old Yuan, do you know the role of the jade belt plate in the Ming Dynasty?" "Usually only the upper class would wear it!" Yuan Hongjian replied.  Uncle Wu said: "Well, since it is worn by the upper class, how can it have such poor jade quality, and such ordinary knife skills, and they are all machine workers." "Uh" Yuan Hongjian was speechless.  Yes, after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "So, I got a punch in the eye again?" Uncle Wu and Chu Chen both laughed, and the meaning was self-evident.  Yuan Hongjian said a little depressed: "But, why would someone use old jade as a counterfeit?" Chu Chen said: "Under normal circumstances, if you want to sell this antique for money, the most important thing is that it must be old enough and the jade is also good.  No exception. There are two ways to make jade old. One way is "new materials and new work". You should be familiar with this method, which is to use chemical and other methods to make the new jade old and authentic.  One method is old jade and new work, which is to carve old jade with poor quality and then process it. Because it is old jade, to a certain extent, it is more deceptive than new material. "  After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Yuan Hongjian frowned and said, "However, all of my jade belt boards look like they have been buried in the ground. Since the jade is not of good quality, how could it be used for burial?" Chu Chen smiled.  Explained: "The reason is very simple. We all know that in the Han Dynasty, there were jade clothes with golden threads. They were worn on the dead and buried with them. After many Han tombs were stolen, archaeologists can often see them. The gold threads in the jade clothes with golden threads  , the so-called gold strands were all stolen, and the jade pieces were scattered inside the coffin." Hearing this.  Yuan Hongjian was shocked and said: "Ah! Teacher Chu, are you saying that the material of these jade belt plates I use is the jade from the golden thread jade clothes? But how could the golden thread jade clothes use such poor jade?" Uncle Wu heard this  He smiled and said: "Lao Yuan, you have fallen into a misunderstanding in your thinking. Who said that the material used in the golden jade clothing must be very good? In fact, the material used in the real golden jade clothing, especially the jade on it, is  "Very ordinary sapphire." "The reason why the jade garment is precious is that it uses gold threads to thread jade pieces together to make a human-shaped costume. In other words, it reflects people's fear of imperial power.  This kind of preciousness is at the humanistic level. The kind of jade pieces used as materials are actually not worth much. " "Although sapphire itself is not valuable, especially things taken from dead people, it is ordinary.  The product is not popular at all. But this kind of jade piece has a characteristic. It is relatively thick, carved with dragon patterns and phoenix patterns, and then large and small pieces are put together and wrapped with gold or alloy.  In a box, it becomes a set of belts or belt buckles used by princes. "So many tomb robbers, including those in the jade shop, saw a 'business opportunity' to sell this kind of jade piece.  After being transformed and sold in the market, the value will be much higher than a pile of unearthed jade pieces. And your seven jade belt plates are made of this kind of jade piece." After listening to Wu.  Yuan Hongjian suddenly understood at the uncle's explanation.  I couldn't help but feel very depressed. I felt that the antique business had too many twists and turns.  By accident, I got a punch in the eye.  However, Yuan Hongjian likes to be more truthful. Although this personality sometimes makes him get into trouble, in some matters, being more truthful may make it easier to overcome difficulties.  For example, now, although he had an eye surgery, he felt depressed at the same time and decided that he must make a name for himself in the antiques business, otherwise he would not be able to afford the money he lost due to the eye surgery.  "Old Yuan, let me tell you, your basic skills are really poor now, and it's really not suitable for you to buy things for the time being. Let's just talk about this jade belt plate. The imitation is really not that good." Uncle Wu picked up a jade belt plate.  Said: "Because the jade is old, the jade watch has aging phenomena, and it looks very deep and simple. But now the patterns are carved on it, and the new carving traces are completely different from the original aging discoloration. The carving marks show a lighter and newer color.  "You can tell by looking at it with a magnifying glass." "In addition, there is a clear color on this old jade. If you look closely, you can see that one or two of the clear lines are cut off by carving marks, which proves that it is an old jade made of new materials.  " Yuan Hongjian scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Sometimes he was impatient. When he saw something he thought was good, he would have the idea to buy it. Just like this set of jade belt plates, he knew that he had not done much research on jade yet, but  Seeing that the jade material should be old material, and the price was only over a thousand, he didn't have much resistance.  However, just like people usually buy things, they wanted to buy it before but regretted it after buying it. After he spent money to buy this set of jade belt plates, he felt that he was reckless, so he rushed to have it appraised.  Result?I really bought the wrong one.  Chu Chen also knew about Yuan Hongjian's problem. He smiled and said: "Sir, I think you'd better bring one or two hundred with you when you go shopping in the future. When you feel that your eyesight has improved, you can bring more.  Even if there is a loss, it won't be too big, don't you think?" Yuan Hongjian chuckled and said, "That's a good idea. I'll bring less money with you from now on. By the way, Teacher Chu, I heard that you are also betting on stones.  It's amazing. When I passed by Juyuan Pavilion earlier, I saw that there seemed to be some kind of trade fair there. Would you like to go and take a look? " Chu Chen was slightly stunned. After hearing what Yuan Hongjian said, he remembered that today is the Juyuan Pavilion.  Lu Changshun had reminded him about Yuange's annual rough jadeite trade fair before when he was recording a program on the TV station, but there were so many things going on at these times that he forgot about it for a while.  Speaking of which, this jade rough stone trade fair sounds very grand, but in fact it is a sales method for Juyuan Pavilion to clear inventory.  At the trade fair, there are indeed good woolen materials, but they only account for a small part of them. Most of the remaining woolen materials are actually selected from ordinary transactions, and its quality can be imagined.  Even so, the annual trade fair in Juyuan Pavilion is still very lively. The biggest reason is that the price of wool at the trade fair is very low, and although these wool materials are poor, they are not brick materials. Unlock high-grade jadeite  There are also opportunities.  What impressed Chu Chen the most was that at last year's trade fair, a middle-aged man solved a piece of Laokeng glass, and it was bought by Lu Changshun on the spot for 6.28 million.  It was so exciting that almost everyone at the scene bought at least one piece of wool.  The scene at that time was so crazy, as if the wool was free. Chu Chen was affected by this and spent more than 2,000 yuan to buy a piece of white sand skin. As a result, he opened a piece of shit land and lost 2,000 yuan.  Bare.  Now that he knew that the exhibition was today, Chu Chen would definitely go and take a look. He smiled and said, "I'll go over and have a look in a minute. Will you go, veteran?" Yuan Hongjian waved his hand and said, "I  I'm not interested in gambling on stones, so I won't go." "Okay, I'll go then" After saying goodbye to Uncle Wu and others, Chu Chen walked towards the Juyuan Pavilion. As expected, he arrived at the door of the Juyuan Pavilion.  As usual, it was very crowded.  And he felt that there were particularly many people on the first day of this year's trade fair because of the influence of the Laokeng glass species that was discovered last year.  Generally speaking, the first day of a trade fair is definitely the most popular, because the most good woolen materials appear on the first day. Although Lu Changshun will spread the good woolen materials over several days according to the quantity of inventory, it is undeniable that  , the quality of the wool in the next few days is indeed not as good as the first day.  This is actually normal. If the things brought out on the first day are not good, why would the guests be interested in visiting?  At every trade fair, the entrance of Juyuan Pavilion is piled with woolen materials. Sometimes when the weather is bad, an awning must be put up. Although this will affect the business of the surrounding shops, Lu Changshun is a good person and usually maintains good relations with his neighbors.  It's pretty good, and the management committee has also taken care of it, so there won't be any problems.  Seeing Lu Changshun enthusiastically communicating with his friends at the door, Chu Chen did not come forward to say hello, but looked at the wool outside first.  Generally speaking, the quality of the wool outside the door is neither good nor bad. The reason is simple. If the customer walks into the store and finds that the wool inside is not as good as outside, his desire to buy will definitely be reduced.  reduce.  And if the quality of the wool outside is too poor, the customers will also think that if your outside products are so poor, how many good things can you get inside?  Of course, among the good and not bad woolen materials, there are also things that are particularly eye-catching, such as the Big Mac near the door, a piece of yellow sand leather weighing nearly one and a half tons.  However, when Chu Chen stepped forward, he discovered that the piece of yellow sand skin seemed to be a little dry. This behavior meant that if there was jade in it, the seed was not old enough and the water was short. It would often be violet or pea green.  , that is, "spring brings color".  Occasionally, you can see emerald, green, purple or floating green tricolor.  Generally speaking, with this kind of wool, the jadeite produced is basically medium and low-grade, and high-end jadeite is basically impossible to produce.  Even so, Chu Chen still took out a magnifying glass and a flashlight and took a closer look. He found that the woolen sand was very rough. Although there were also python patterns and pine flowers, the crystals seemed a little thicker. Based on this performance, it was indeed very thick.  There is a high probability that mid- to low-grade jadeite will be found.  In the end, Chu Chen used his power again, and the result was similar. If someone bought this piece of wool at the price, it would definitely be a big loss.  As soon as Chu Chen put away his things and stood up, Lu Changshun also happened to walk over.  Both sides smiledAfter saying hello, Lu Changshun asked: "Xiao Chu, what do you think of this piece of wool?" Chu Chen did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, you must be confident about this piece of wool, right?  "(To be continued) PS: Thank you very much to the book friends who have received the light of the great god!
