    One day later, Wang Xiaoxi and Lu Zigang each brought a wooden box.  Wang Xiaoxi presented the box first.  The prefect opened it and saw a variegated jade butterfly hairpin inside.  Pure color jade is always more expensive. If the color is mixed, the price will not be high.  It¡¯s just that Wang Xiaoxi¡¯s idea was very clever, and he carved the variegated part into a butterfly. In this way, the body of the hairpin still looks as white as suet, while the butterfly is colorful.  What's even more amazing is that the hairpin is carved from a whole piece of jade, but the butterfly on the head of the hairpin can tremble slightly.  It turns out that Wang Xiaoxi was good at openwork carving, and then used a jade knife to carve the butterfly wings so finely that the originally hard jade could tremble in the wind after being carved.  The prefect was secretly surprised to see Wang Xiaoxi's advanced skills when Lu Zigang presented his box.  The prefect opened it and saw a crab-shaped wine seat carved from sapphire.  Although it seems that the knife skills are quite good, compared with Wang Xiaoxi's butterfly hairpin, it seems mediocre.  As soon as Liu Sizhe said this, Fatty Dong next to him said eagerly: "In that case, Lu Zigang will lose!" Liu Sizhe laughed and scolded: "Fat man, please don't interrupt, listen to me finish the story" See  At this situation, the magistrate secretly sighed and was about to make a conclusion when Lu Zigang was neither humble nor arrogant. He stepped forward and bowed and said: "Sir, great people have no dreams, and great craftsmanship has no workmanship. Jade is a spiritual thing, and the villain also has his own way to make this horizontal seat."  The magistrate heard this and asked, "Is there anything magical about this wine seat?" Lu Zigang said, "Sir, you only need to put a cup of hot wine on it," he said.  Gotta get curious.  Immediately, he asked his servant to boil a pot of wine, sift a cup and put it on the wine table.  It¡¯s strange to say.  As soon as the wine glass was placed on the table, the sapphire crab crawled with eight claws.  He was crawling around on the table as if he was alive. When he crawled around the four corners of the table, he returned to the magistrate again. The wine was also warm, just in time for his mouth to drink.  When Wang Xiaoxi saw him, his face turned earthy.  He never expected that Lu Zigang could be so ingenious. No matter how finely his butterfly hairpin was carved, it still looked like he had a lot of craftsmanship.  This time, Wang Xiaoxi was overwhelmed.  Not only did he lose the qualification to go to the feudal prince's palace, but he also lost the Kun Dao. At that time, he was so anxious that he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground "What happened next?" Fatty Dong asked again after hearing this.  Liu Sizhe smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "What else can I do? Of course I completed the task of the vassal king and returned home with great honors!" Fatty Dong murmured: "Well, it turns out that Lu Zigang is so good at the Kunjian knife.  Come on!" Zhang Yanbin laughed loudly and said, "Fat man, I think you are out of your mind. You actually believe this story!" Fatty Dong curled his lips and said, "What's the matter?"  "The paintings by Lu Zigang can move even if they are placed in the water, so what if the crabs made by Lu Zigang can crawl?" "Wu Daozi's paintings are also legends, okay? I don't believe you can still see them in reality," Zhang Yanbin said, dumbfounded.  Fatty Dong chuckled: "What you said, if you really haven't seen it before. Can I say that?" Hearing what he said, Zhang Yanbin was stunned for a while.  He said with an incredulous look on his face: "It's true, you're not daydreaming, are you?" "What do you think?" Fatty Dong asked back with a smile.  Zhang Yanbin looked at Fatty Dong in disbelief.  Then he turned to look at Liu Sizhe and Chu Chen, and found that they were all smiling.  See this situation.  Zhang Yanbin suddenly thought of a possibility, and he asked in shock: "Xiao Chu, the Wu Daozi paintings that the fat man mentioned are not collected by you, right?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then said: "Although my  Wu Daozi's painting does change when it enters the water, but there are more or less explanations. But the crab in the story is really ridiculous. How can it not automatically heat up and walk away on its own? If Lu Zigang can really do it?  If something like that comes out, I even suspect that he is an alien." Liu Sizhe took the words and said, "Fat man, you are just daydreaming. If you say it can heat wine automatically, I can believe it, but this thing is a jade.  The joints can't move. Do you really believe that the jade psychic in the story means that crabs can crawl? " Fatty Dong thought about it and felt that he was indeed quite stupid. Although Chu Chen's things were magical, they were magical.  More or less, you can always find some reasons, but jade crabs can move. Except for children, it is estimated that no one will believe such an outrageous thing.  At this time, Zhang Yanbin still looked incredulous and asked: "Um Xiao Chu, do you really have a painting by Wu Daozi, and the painting will still move when it is placed in water?" Fatty Dong smiled and said: "I said Zhang  Brother, can we still lie to you about this? You don¡¯t believe it??, won¡¯t we find out when you go to the capital one day?  Let¡¯s still pay attention to the jade crab that Brother Chu just bought!  Hearing this, Zhang Yanbin quickly said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, when you come back from England, you must give me a call first!"  " When Chu Chen smiled and nodded, Liu Sizhe next to him said with some confusion: "Brother Chen, why does this jade crab look so soiled? It directly covers up the details of the carving. Logically speaking, Lu Zigang  He is a figure from the late Ming Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, Tuqin shouldn't be so serious, right?  "    "yes!  Zhang Yanbin also came forward and said: "And I see that the material of this jade crab seems to be made of yellow dragon jade. With Lu Zigang's character, he shouldn't use jade made of this material, right?"  " Chu Chen also understood what Zhang Yanbin meant. Legend has it that Lu Zigang was not the best jade carving. Judging from the current appearance of this jade crab, it does not look like Lu Zigang's work, but if this crab performs well,  It is impossible for him to pick it up for more than 40 yuan. Chu Chen said with a smile: "You can use a strong flashlight to see what kind of material this crab is.  " Hearing this, Liu Sizhe quickly took out a strong flashlight and shined a light on the abdomen of the crab. In an instant, the jade became very transparent, and a warm and dignified yellow luster like steamed chestnuts emanated from the inside out.  Seeing this, Liu Sizhe immediately exclaimed: "It's actually Huang Yu!  " When Fatty Dong saw Liu Sizhe's appearance, he was a little confused and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to be so surprised. Isn't it just topaz? Isn't the Huanglong Jade that Brother Zhang mentioned just now also topaz?  " "You are just uneducated. Can Huang Longyu compare with Huang Yu?  Liu Sizhe said angrily. Fatty Dong was a little stunned: "Is there anything different?"  Last time I went shopping with Ning Ning, I saw a pendant marked Huanglong Jade, but the boss said Huanglong Jade was Topaz.  Liu Sizhe patted Fatty Dong on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Fatboy, when did your IQ become so low? Do you believe what the profiteers say?"  " Zhang Yanbin also smiled and said: "Huanglong jade is a relatively low-end jade material. Huangyu should be the Huangqin material among Khotan jade.  "Liu Sizhe shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang, you are wrong. Although topaz is also Khotan jade, Huang Qin material is Huang Qin material, and it is completely different from topaz.  " Fatty Dong looked a little confused when he heard this: "When you say this, I am confused. What is Huang Yu?  " "Then let me teach you a lesson.  "Liu Sizhe explained with a smile: "Topaz is more complicated in comparison, because people's understanding of it is not comprehensive, and the opinions are very inconsistent, causing many people to misunderstand.  The market is even more mixed.  Profiteers often confuse right and wrong to deceive consumers, causing them to suffer economic losses.  " "Generally speaking, profiteers like to refer to three types of jade as topaz. These three types of jade are Huanglong jade, Huangqin material and Huangkou material.  Let¡¯s not talk about Huanglong Jade. This thing has nothing to do with Khotan Jade, and there is no comparison" Fatty Dong said quickly: "No, Brother Liu, just talk about it, otherwise you will have to be fooled by profiteers next time.  !  "Liu Sizhe said: "It's too troublesome to say this. Huanglong jade is actually yellow wax stone. This kind of jade is made of chalcedony and part of agate, cryptocrystalline quartz in yellow wax stone.  Its hardness is similar to that of jade. It is jadeite, while Khotan jade is nephrite. The two are not the same thing.  As for if you want to study yellow wax stone, then go back and find this book.  " After listening to Liu Sizhe's explanation, Fatty Dong said speechlessly: "Huanglong stone is actually composed of quartz and agate?  Isn't this a scam?  Liu Sizhe chuckled lightly: "How should I put it? The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. Aren't some businesses always advocating that everyone has different preferences?"  " Fatty Dong said angrily: "Profiteers are profiteers!  I will return it when I get back!  " "Xiao Liu, what is the difference between Huangqin material and Huangkou material and topaz?  "Zhang Yanbin asked from the side. Liu Sizhe said: "Huangqin material is actually a kind of brown-yellow material in Khotanzi material. It is actually the same as the formation of sugar jade in mountain material. They are both late-stage ferric ions.  It is caused by infection or the ferrous iron ions in tremolite are oxidized near the surface to form trivalent iron ions.  Therefore, the color of Huangqin material changes gradually from the outside to the inside.  " "Huangkou material usually refers to Hetian Yushan material, which is yellow with greenish yellow and soft luster. The best "yellow mouth material" is thick and oily, which can be compared with topaz in beauty. In a sense, yellow mouth material  Closest to Topaz.  "Liu Sizhe talked eloquently: "Finally, talking about topaz, its color is original, which means that its yellow color is when the jade is formed.?? formed.  Therefore, the surface color of topaz is consistent with the color of the jade interior.  It is a special dignified yellow, a tender yellow with a slight yellow-green tint.  There are many colors of topaz, the best of which are like this jade crab, yellow steamed chestnut" At the end, he chuckled again and said: "Speaking of which, we usually only need to understand Huang Qin  The difference between topaz and yellow mouth material is at most Huanglong jade. Because the output of topaz is very rare, it was very uncommon even in ancient times. In addition, its color is just in line with the emperor's thoughts, so it looks so  precious.  "(To be continued)
