    After listening to Liu Sizhe's explanation, Fatty Dong and Zhang Yanbin finally understood what kind of jade Huang Yu was.  This article is written by .  .  First Post: Then, Zhang Yanbin used a strong flashlight to observe the crab. Then he suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Xiao Chu, how did you know just now that the material of this crab will be topaz?"  ?" Chu Chen smiled slightly. He had already thought of his excuse. After asking for the jade crab, he pointed at one of the crab's foot joints and said, "Look here!" The three of them hurriedly approached and found out.  The color of the place Chu Chen pointed to was different from the color next to it. It was the color of authentic topaz.  "ThisBrother Chu, your eyesight is really good, how could you even detect this?" Fatty Dong said in shock.  Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Of course I didn't discover it all at once. Didn't you see that when I picked up this crab just now, I paused for a while!" Hearing what Chu Chen said, the three of them thought  After thinking about it, they all felt that there was indeed such a thing, which made them sigh. Opportunities are really for those who are prepared.  "Oh!" Liu Sizhe stared at that place and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with some excitement and excitement: "I know, this jade crab must have been treated. Why does this jade crab not feel like jade?  , So that¡¯s what happened!¡± Fatty Dong and Zhang Yanbin also realized that if there was no treatment, it would be impossible for the two places to behave so differently. This was obviously due to the use of potions and the like when the treatment layer was made.  Caused by not applying it properly.  Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, it should have been coated with a layer of substance and then buried in the soil. That's why the soil Qin expression looks so serious. Let's buy some things later and deal with this jade.  "It should be able to show its true colors." "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" Fatty Dong said impatiently.  Seeing his eager look, Chu Chen smiled teasingly: "Fat man, why aren't you hungry?" "Gulu!" Fatty Dong chuckled.  Just when he was about to say something, his stomach growled, causing everyone to laugh.  "Okay. Let's go eat first. Let's talk about this after dinner" Burmese food is closer to South Asian style. The dishes are mainly stews, curry stews, lettuce, and accompanied by fried small fish.  Use onions and lemons liberally.  Very little stir-fry.  Cutlery is mainly plates and spoons.  Restaurant meals are served on a separate-dish basis.  One share per person, and a communal plate of lettuce.  The lettuces are all local specialties, with a tropical rainforest feel, and they are chewed raw without any oil or salt condiments.  If this is the case, Chu Chen and others may not be used to eating. Fortunately, the restaurant Zhang Yanbin took everyone to is owned by Chinese people. Chinese people in Yangon creatively combine Chinese food with Burmese food.  In this way, it has the characteristics of Myanmar food.  It also made Chu Chen and others get used to eating, and it was very comfortable to eat.  However, when Chu Chen was eating, he also discovered a phenomenon. During the nearly an hour they were eating, Chu Chen and his group were the only ones at a table of nine people in the large restaurant.  There were more waiters serving food and more backup singers and dancers in the restaurant than them.  This made Chu Chen feel a little strange. After asking about it later, he found out that because the local income was not high, this situation was a common phenomenon. Generally speaking, the occupancy rate of the restaurant was only 20% to 30%.  Moreover, the prices in the restaurant are not expensive. The group of them ordered a lot of dishes, but the cost per person was only thirty or forty RMB. With such an attendance rate and such a low price, Chu Chen was really confused.  , how these restaurants are maintained.  After the meal, under the guidance of the young man who had picked them up at the airport, Chu Chen bought the raw materials used to clean jade crabs in a chemical store, and then the group returned to the hotel.  "Hey! Why don't you guys play a little longer?" As soon as the group walked to the door of the hotel, they met Zhao Qirui and others who had also just returned from dinner.  "You don't know, Brother Chen has made a big mistake again!" Liu Sizhe told everyone what had just happened in a slightly exaggerated way.  When Zhao Qirui heard that Chu Chen had bought something from Lu Zigang, he couldn't wait to say: "Achen, where are the things? Show me quickly!" "It looks a bit inconspicuous now, I hope you won't be disappointed!" He said,  Chu Chen took out the things.  The jade that has not been processed is indeed very inconspicuous as Chu Chen said. After Zhao Qirui and others looked at it, they felt that it did not look like something made by Lu Zigang, until Liu Sizhe stepped forward and pointed out what Chu Chen had just pointed out.  I pointed it out to them and everyone?I discovered that this jade was actually made of topaz.  This made Yi Hongguo very interested, and he quickly urged: "Let's go! Let's wash off the things on it quickly" Next, everyone came to Chu Chen's room, and then Chu Chen put the  I took out the bottles and jars I bought just now, used a tool to mix a cup of translucent green-looking liquid according to a certain proportion, and then put the jade crab into it.  Chu Chen took off his gloves and said with a smile: "Okay, we just need to wait for another two hours." "It will take another two hours!" Fatty Dong seemed a little anxious when he heard that it would take two hours.  Not as good as.  Seeing this, Liu Sizhe smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious, fat man? This is something worth millions. What if the potion is too strong and the thing is damaged? Is it possible that you will pay for it?" Fatty Dong heard this  He scratched his head in embarrassment.  Zhao Qirui said with a smile: "Okay, we have nothing to do anyway, just wait" Because there are two topics such as the jade in front of us and the jade auction tomorrow, a group of young and old did not feel that there was anything to talk about.  For those who didn¡¯t come, just talking and laughing like this, two hours passed in a blink of an eye.  Chu Chen first poured a basin of clean water, then used tweezers to fish out the jade from the already turbid potion, and then threw it into the clear water.  In an instant, everyone cast their eyes into the clear water, and saw a pure and sweet color as delicate as the stamens of a flower, which reflected the clear water into a different kind of scenery.  As for the protagonist, the crab is even more fat and oily. The crab has round eyes, eight legs slightly erect, and two large claws slightly raised upward. The majestic look on its face looks so lifelike, and the topaz is made of  , and makes it look very playful and cute.  When Chu Chen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a love that he couldn't put down.  "This is the finest chicken fat yellow that is rarer than mutton fat white jade!" After a while, Yi Hongguo couldn't help but sigh.  When Fatty Dong heard this, he bumped Liu Sizhe next to him with his elbow and asked softly: "Why is the chicken fat yellow? Didn't you just say it was yellow steamed chestnuts?" Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "Fat man, you should pay more attention.  In ancient times, we did not use words like "chicken fat", but "steamed chestnuts". Wei Emperor Cao Pi said in "Yu Zhong Dali Shu": "I saw a jade book called beautiful jade, white as cut fat, black as black."  Pure lacquer, red cockscomb, yellow steamed chestnuts, so what I mean is the same as what Uncle Yi said." At this time, Chu Chen took the jade out of the clear water and wiped it carefully.  After cleaning it, I saw this lifelike crab in my hand, coupled with the exquisite jade quality, I was filled with admiration again and again.  "Let me take a look" Zhao Qirui took the crab in his hand, carefully appreciated it, and couldn't help but sigh: "The image is smart and delicate, and it fully reflects Lu Zigang's shape, which imitates the Han Dynasty and is based on the style of the Song Dynasty.  The ancient meaning, and his artistic characteristics of emptiness, floating and fineness, I think it is indeed the authentic work of Lu Zigang! "The emptiness mentioned here means that the virtual and the real contrast with each other, and the density is appropriate, so that people do not feel cumbersome and have an ethereal quality!  feel.  Gone with the wind is to create a vivid and smooth shape, making people feel elegant instead of dull.  Delicacy means meticulous workmanship and exquisite design, which makes people feel that it is not rough but has a sense of ingenuity.  Just like the most famous jade carvings by Lu Zigang, the water-like fairy hairpin is exquisitely exquisite. The stems and branches under the flower support are as thin as a hair and unbroken, showing the delicate posture of the flower. It is really hard to imagine that this is carved from jade.  of.  The same is obviously true for the crab in front of you. Let alone looking from a distance, even if you are close up, if you are not paying attention, you will not think that this crab is carved from jade. This all reflects the maker's ingenious carving skills.  .  The management of the handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty was very strict, with strict hierarchical divisions. Even in the late Ming Dynasty when the "master system" had been abolished, the legacy still persisted.  From the carving of this crab, we can understand why, in that social background, Lu Zigang, a craftsman who was engaged in humble jade carving, was still regarded as an honored guest by literati.  Next, everyone took turns to appreciate it, and everyone was shocked by the exquisite carving of this jade crab, as well as the pure jade color, as smooth as fat, and the quality of the yellow steamed chestnut.  "Hey!" Everyone expressed their opinions on Lu Zigang's incredible skills. At the end of the story, Yi Hongguo let out a long sigh.  Seeing this situation, Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "I say Grasshopper, what are you doing with this sigh?" Yi Hongguo spread his hands and said: "What else can you do? You are just jealous of my junior brother's crab. Why are you still here?"  Okay, I live in the capital, and I can go see it whenever I want.??, I live in Shanghai, and I flew to the capital specifically to see this jade crab. If you didn¡¯t know, you thought I was out of my mind!  " "According to what you say, then am I not worse off than you?  "Wan Qijun said with a smile. Zhao Qirui laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Then you can come to the capital to play if you have nothing to do, or we can simply open a branch in the capital. Anyway, the capital has such a large population, so you don't have to worry about running out of business.  Isn¡¯t there a reason to come over now?  " Yi Hongguo said with a smile: "This is not impossible, but I feel that it is a bit foolish to open a shop just to see a crab" (To be continued.)
