Chapter 0174 – Disc Jade (III)

“Elder Gu, why are you here as well?”

After Master Gu sat down. Zhuang Rui asked, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he knew that he had asked too much, with Master Gu’s identity, it was more than normal for him to come and participate in this Pingzhou Jadeite Raw Stone Trade Fair.

“I should not come? Should you come?” Old Master Gu didn’t seem to be in a good mood today, and his words were a bit impulsive.

“Elder Gu, I was invited here by a friend, otherwise how would I have known that there was some kind of jade trade fair here!”

Zhuang Rui replied honestly, if it wasn’t for Song Jun telling him about this, he really didn’t know.

“Oh? It’s like that! Then I was wrong about you.”

Dare I say that old man Gu thought that when Zhuang Rui was in Nanjing, he tasted the sweetness of gambling on stones, and this time he wanted to come and gamble again, he was Zhuang Rui’s grandfather’s student, and he had a late love for Zhuang Rui, and he treated Zhuang Rui as his son and nephew, and he didn’t want to see Zhuang Rui indulging in gambling on stones, so he spoke in a very bad tone just now.

“Elder brother, I used to be lucky, these months in Zhonghai is mainly to study. But I didn’t go back to gambling on stones!” After Zhuang Rui figured out what Elder Gu was thinking, he couldn’t help but cry and laugh a little, but he was still grateful for that love and care from the heart of Elder Gu.

“Ancient, I haven’t seen you for two years! Be sure to come sit at my place when you have time.”

Fatty Ma actually knew Elder Gu as well, this would come over to greet Ancient.

“So it’s Boss Ma! What are you smelling here again, running to this place as well?”

Ancient old man is not unappetizing, sometimes will also help some people appraise some things, two years ago had given Fatty Ma appraised a few ancient jade, and he is considered to know.

“Hey, I’m not just here to join in the fun, I did not expect brother Zhuang and you so familiar ah!”

Fatty Ma’s smile was sunny, and he didn’t care in the slightest about Master Gu’s slightly sarcastic words.

“Xiao Zhuang and I are family friends, Boss Ma should take care of me more in the future!”

Ancient roughly said about his relationship with Zhuang Rui, ancient knew that Fatty Ma was not a simple person, two years ago, he knew that Fatty Ma knew nothing about jade, but in the dozen or so pieces of ancient jade he had collected, only one piece was a fake jade that was made to be old at the back, the rest were all genuine, there were even a few pieces of quite good and precious ancient jade in there, for Fatty Ma to be such a layman and to have such an eye for the world, ancient was also very He was also very impressed. His words just now are also considered to be pulling a relationship for Zhuang Rui.

“Ancient, just now this little brother said those ‘disk jade’ method, is it true ah? You give a review!”

Beside the onlookers, after seeing the ancient old man sat down, he chatted with Zhuang Rui and the others, some bold ones shouted out, to know, the ancient in the jade industry, that is definitely an authoritative figure, usually is rare to see, there is such a good opportunity to ask him for advice, the crowd naturally refused to let go.

“Ancient, you just got off the plane, it’s a bit noisy here, you’d better go upstairs to rest first! The rooms we have all been arranged.” At this time, a middle-aged man who had originally followed Ancient, came over and said in Ancient’s ear, he should be the official who invited Ancient to come this time.

“It’s fine, I’ll sit here for a while.” Ancient waved his hand. Unimpressed, the man saw that Ancient refused to go upstairs to rest, there was nothing he could do, went to the side and took out his phone and dialed.

“Xiao Zhuang, I didn’t realize that it’s only been a few months since I’ve seen you, your level of jade appreciation has skyrocketed! The ones I said just now are correct, go ahead and say it!” Ancient saw those expectant gazes from the crowd, his heart moved and brought the topic back to Zhuang Rui.

“Senior, don’t bring you like this! With you here, there’s no room for me to speak ……”

The old man’s words to Zhuang Rui said anxious, in front of him to show off the knowledge of jade, this is not a big sword in front of Guan Gong door play it, looking for their own uncomfortable.

“Sit down you.”

The old man pressed Zhuang Rui was about to stand up the body, said: “no matter what line of work, are learning without precedence, up to the teacher, you just said those are right, I have nothing to nitpick, don’t be afraid, continue to say.”

Zhuang Rui this will be some understanding in his heart, the old man is lifting him up ah! To the ancient identity to say such words, I’m afraid it won’t take long to spread the jade collection in this line, and the old man’s words, but also will be led into the door.

Sure enough, after the ancient master’s words, the onlookers all began to talk to each other. Whispering up, for Zhuang Rui just that paragraph about “disk jade” statement, some people believe, but more people still have doubts in their hearts, for no other reason, is because Zhuang Rui is too young, but after the old man said this, the crowd again look at Zhuang Rui, the eyes with the previous will be completely different.

“Little brother, since ancient asked you to speak, you should speak!” The man who had just handed Zhuang Rui a cigarette spoke out.

Zhuang Rui hesitated for a moment, the ancient jade specific disk play way, he is also know, but all theoretical things, in case of saying the wrong thing, that can be laughable, but this is also difficult to ride the tiger, Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, said with a stiff upper lip, “The method of the disk of jade, is the kid an elder taught, I’m just saying out everyone to exchange, what is less than the place, all of you much Corrections. Jade and other hard jade we will not say. Speaking of soft jade it! Friends if you are lucky to find the unearthed jade has not been played with, it is best not to immediately on the hand to play, but to be placed in the first soak in water for 2 days, if it is a new pit (that is, just out of the ground) of jade, the temperature of the water should be in about 70 or 80 degrees.”

“On the body of the jade after soaking, an egg-white-like mucus will ooze out, which can also be called is the pulp of the jade, in fact, we all know that this pulp refers to the antique artifacts in the process of long-term storage, play on the surface of the oxidized layer with a sense of luster formed. Some friends will use a toothbrush to clean the jade after it has been soaked. The next day will find a rope to string it up to wear to play, this is in fact inappropriate, we will take out the jade, do not clean up the mucus, but put the jade in a ventilated, cool place to place 1 to 2 months, to let it dry on the surface of the jade, mucus drying jade will become more polished and glistening, called the pulp, also known as the pulp of the treasure. At this time you can wear the jade on the body, the old man can find with a good red rope tied at the waist, the girl on the trouble a little bit, especially in the summer when wearing a skirt, then there is no place to put ah!”

Zhuang Rui’s words caused a burst of laughter around, this hotel guests also more up, actually three layers outside the three layers of the sofa area surrounded, outside some people do not know the situation, heard that the old man in the inside, but also desperately crowded in.

“The youngest, you say we should not also charge a fee ah! Hehe.” Brother Wei saw such a pomp and circumstance, and Zhuang Rui joked.

“What a beautiful thing to think about, this is to be replaced by the ancient master, then the fee should be divided.” Zhuang Rui skimmed his mouth, this is estimated that once he finishes later, there will be prickly people.

“Young man, don’t chat ah! What else is taboo about this disk of jade, say it together!” Seeing Zhuang Rui chatting with the person next to him, the crowd of onlookers clamored.

“There is nothing else, we all know, disk jade, to put it bluntly, is to use human body oil to nourish jade, make jade out of the dry ‘stone’ nature, become oily ‘jade’ nature, but this grease is not the tip of the nose, brain But this kind of grease is not the sweat and oil on the tip of the nose or the door of the head! Some people feel that the area is oily and rub it with their jade. This is a big no-no, so don’t do it. When you play with jade with your hands, be sure to wash your hands, and if the weather is like now, it’s best to soak the jade in water for a week or two. By the way, some of my friends in the jade trade, especially those in Guangdong and Hong Kong, like to use metallurgical sandpaper to polish jade, and they especially like to use metallurgical sandpaper to polish ancient jade that has lost its luster. This method is a bit hasty and quick to achieve quick results, but in fact it is a great misfortune, and it will seriously harm the vitality of the ancient jade, and the specific heavy and aged coating on the surface of the ancient jade will disappear, making the jade shiny and oily, and making it slippery and strange to touch. Slippery strange appearance.”

Zhuang Rui said here, the crowd of onlookers inside, there are several people face showing resentful look, looks like Zhuang Rui said those jade merchants, businessmen by profit, this approach to fool some people who just started to play the ancient jade, it is very good to make, but also can be sold at a high price, but after the metallurgical sandpaper sanding of ancient jade, but also basically even if it is a waste.

“A piece of jade has to be coiled for three to five years, how is it considered coiled?” Someone in the crowd asked.

“Oh, we talk about the disk of jade, known as ripe jade, generally in the soil erosion is not very serious, the jade quality is not too poor unearthed ancient jade, after one or two years of disk play, you can basically disk cooked, but some of the erosion of the more serious people, or the jade quality of the ancient jade is very poor, the cost of time will be a little longer. As long as the jade is coiled to be oily and delicate, and the surface is covered with pulp, it can be regarded as a mature jade. In fact, the jade disk play whether the effect is also with the texture of the jade itself has a lot to do, some jade fine density and whiteness is very good, only after carving, polishing became as moist as mutton fat, simply do not need to disk play, the same reason, there are some of the stone nature of the jade, even after several years of manpower to play with the disk is also dry and astringent as a stone, but we are talking about the unearthed jade, disk play that is a must. ”

After Zhuang Rui finished these words in one breath, his eyes looked at the ancient old man, said: “Senior uncle, I’m empty, you say a few words!” Zhuang Rui was telling the truth, that’s all Uncle De had taught him, if he said any more he would reveal himself.
