Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Flying to the Moon

Not to mention the richness of "things" contained in this section, just the dots of black spots are enough to make people's hearts faintly flooded with a glimmer of hope!It is said that "moss eats green", and where there are black spots, most of them are naturally mixed with green emeralds.What's particularly rare is that, looking at it from this section, there really are quite a few green jadeites. The color is very pure, the only regret is that the size is too small, the texture is not very good, and it is too scattered. But this is too scattered, so it doesn't mean that as long as there are so many dots of green jadeite, if there is one or two of them in the interior of the original stone, it will be slightly larger.Then, this piece of rough jadeite will undoubtedly not lose money, and even when the volume of those jadeites is large enough, the whole piece of rough jadeite can still make a lot of money.

Jia Sidao thought about it seriously, lifted the small half of the piece, and gently drew a line in a direction parallel to the original cut surface.Then, the half piece of rough jadeite was moved to the cutting machine. Press the switch to start the second knife cutting. Speaking of which, this is only a matter of a moment.When Ah San and Ali came back to their senses, Jia Sidao had already started cutting stones.Moreover, such a cut stone, to put it bluntly, does not have great hope.Even Uncle Zhou didn't have much hope for Jia Sidao's second cut stone. Although in theory, Jia Sidao naturally has a chance to make a comeback.However, this is a theory after all.For such a piece of rough jadeite, the treatment of most people is probably the same as what Jia Sidao is doing now, to cut the rough jadeite again, try to cut the rough jadeite as small as possible, so as not to miss the inside. Emeralds that may appear.

As for whether the jade in the rough jadeite will be cut in half when cutting, it is not in everyone's consideration at all! It is a very lucky thing to be able to appear emerald. However, Jia Sidao's second knife obviously did not improve at all.Even Uncle Zhou, Ah San and the others sighed involuntarily as they watched.The entire section, it can be said, is even more chaotic than the original section, and there are also large pieces of white cotton!That pale piece seems to be telling Jia Sidao's failure in cutting stones this time.As for the few dots of emeralds that could be seen before, they have completely disappeared at this moment.

Except for those black spots and some bleak shadows, the rest, in terms of tone, is a bit warmer, but it can't comfort the hearts of the stonecutters at all! Jia Sidao didn't hesitate anymore, and made a third cut very neatly.At this moment, he no longer chooses the direction parallel to the original cutting plane, but a straight cut in half. Looking at the effect after cutting the stone, it is still a disappointing picture. At first, there was a bit of joy on her face, and Ali, who thought her piece of rough jadeite could be better than the one Jia Sidao chose, after seeing such a scene, her expression also dimmed a lot.It seems that the feeling of whiteness after stone cutting makes people unable to be happy.

"Xiao Jia, do you still want to cut the ones here?" Ah San looked at Jia Sidao's gloomy face, and couldn't help asking, "If half of the pieces here are still the same as before, it's better Don’t cut it up.” If you don’t cut it up, it’s still worth thousands of dollars!If it's the same as the little half yuan here, even if it's a few hundred yuan, no one will want it. "Cut it." Jia Sidao said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "I also think it's more appropriate to make another cut." Uncle Zhou echoed from the sidelines.

"Dad, why?" Ali asked, not quite understanding, "Do you think the half piece of rough jadeite here is more hopeful? The smaller half piece just now, but the more you cut it, the worse it gets." "It's still hard to say." Uncle Zhou glanced at Ali and said, "Because the half of the rough jadeite just got worse and worse, the half of the jadeite here is more promising. .” "Oh? Uncle Zhou, why is that?" Ah San also asked curiously. "Look." Uncle Zhou pointed to the jadeite section that was cut first, and said, "As far as this section is concerned, it is not completely hopeless. Now, the trend of spreading to the small half of the jadeite is obviously a failure. Yes, then, as long as there is still a large piece of jadeite inside this piece of rough jadeite, it will definitely be in the half of the piece. Therefore, I think that half of the piece of rough jadeite here still needs to be cut to be finalized. Can this rough jadeite be cut up? If not, it would be a pity to just give it up."

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou also felt a little embarrassed, smacked the corner of his mouth a few times, and then continued: "Besides, after all, this is not a question of thousands of dollars, but a question of the mentality of a stone gambler." "Indeed." Jia Sidao interjected, "Since you have participated in the stone betting, you need the courage to gamble to the end. Even if you lose everything, once you have determined your goal, you need to go all the way to the end. Otherwise..." "Otherwise, you will regret it?" Uncle Zhou said, "There are many such cases in the stone gambling business."

Even Jia Sidao himself, didn't he experience it himself?Whether it was the first gamble in Yunnan, or the spring gamble in Pingzhou, they were all picked up from other people's greed for the last little cheap.And when it is extended to the entire stone gambling industry, such mistakes are relatively common. Such as those half-green legends, or betting on a piece of emerald material, and then throwing it aside without paying attention. After several years or even decades, when cutting the stone again, I suddenly found that It has risen, just like Mr. Li in Jieyang, even the superb carving skills can't cover up his mistake in betting on stones more than ten years ago!

If he had chosen to continue cutting instead of turning the raw stone into a stone table as a souvenir, I am afraid that now there would be one less craftsman carving jadeite ornaments, and one more expert making waves on stone gambling Not sure! "So, if I cut it down, even if it's completely ruined, I'm just betting on such a rough jadeite. If I can cut out a slightly larger jadeite, at least I can get back my money!" Jia Sidao said indifferently. He said, "If you're lucky, you might be able to make a fortune. But if you stop cutting now, you'll only get back a comfort fee of 2,000 yuan! Then, if someone else has the opportunity to cut out the emerald , I still need to reap the regrets that I will remember for a lifetime..."

As he spoke, Jia Sidao didn't wait for Ah San and Ali to have any feelings, and began to cut a thin slice of the rough jadeite along the direction parallel to the original cutting plane according to his own judgment! Drizzle some water on it so you can see better. Jia Sidao noticed that on the newly cut surface, although the general picture is as messy as the original one, the black spots are much less. In contrast, those green emerald textures are also as messy as the original one. It is as if they have gathered together, and two relatively, obviously more concentrated areas have been formed.

As for those white cottons, they still wreaked havoc on the facets of the entire rough emerald stone without any compromise. Even so, such an aspect is still worthless in Jia Sidao's eyes, but Jia Sidao's mood is much better than before.After all, after seeing such a change in his judgment, Jia Sidao became more confident. The only thing that makes Jia Sidao feel a little pity is that the two emerald parts gradually gather together.Its texture is not very good, so I won't say it.In this kind of jade material, it is simply nonsense to cut out the best jadeite such as glass seed and ice seed.Even bean jadeite is extremely rare. As far as the little emeralds in front of me are concerned, generally speaking, they can't even be considered the level of bean seeds. As for the color of the emerald, a slightly smaller group of them, from green, gradually began to show a touch of light yellow.This is also the reason why the black spots biting each other with the green emerald are gradually decreasing, right?As for the other area where the emeralds are concentrated, there is no possibility of discoloration for the time being, but in terms of the purity of the green color, the green in the middle is a little thicker, and the surrounding ones are starting to fade a bit. .At first glance, it looks like a long and narrow lake! Of course, in this part of the emerald, those faint black spots are also like a shadow, and they don't give Jia Sidao any face! In this way, even if Jia Sidao dug out these jadeite parts, it might not be worth a lot of money.On the contrary, for those discolored areas, if we cut some more inside, the light yellow color can be made more pure. Jia Sidao will not lose everything on this rough emerald stone. "That's right, it's a good omen!" Uncle Zhou nodded after watching this section. Ah San and Ali were also very happy. This feeling of re-cutting hope out of a piece of waste is not at all inferior to the excitement of cutting out top-quality jadeite from a well-performing rough jadeite! The smile on the corner of Jia Sidao's mouth, although not strong.But at this moment, it can be regarded as erasing that faint feeling of depression.I pointed the two parts of jade with a strong flashlight and took a careful photo.It seems that the emeralds in these two places are also in two extremes when they penetrate into the original stone. One is obviously discolored, even if the permeability of the emerald is not very good, when the light from the strong flashlight penetrates in, Jia Sidao can still feel that as the emerald deepens, the little bit on the surface The greenness seems to be gradually disappearing. Pale yellow emerald! In terms of shape, it is somewhat similar to the emeralds in another area. It has a somewhat narrow and long feeling, and it also gives people a faintly curved feeling, which seems to be like a person's eyebrows.And such a form of jade, if it is made into a jade bracelet, the material is not suitable, if it is made into an ornament, the texture and color are not very good, even if it is carved, the value will not be high. . You know, yellow jadeite is almost as flooding as green jadeite.Almost all low-grade green jadeites will have a slight hint of yellow.Unless it is possible to cut out chicken oil yellow, the top grade of yellow jadeite, its value can compete with the top grade green jadeite! As for the piece of scrap in front of him, it is obviously impossible to cut out a piece of top-quality chicken oil yellow jadeite. Of course, Jia Sidao didn't show any disappointment. The performance of this rough jadeite was beyond Jia Sidao's expectation.It's better than cutting out green emeralds and then biting them together with many black spots, right? It's like the emerald part of another place. When the strong flashlight in Jia Sidao's hand shines on it, it can see through the light, and there are still many black spots mixed with it. Such a shape undoubtedly makes Jia Sidao feel a little headache ! "How?" Ah San was at the side, watching Jia Sidao frowned and remained silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking anxiously, "Isn't there no more jade in it?" Just in such a short time now, Ah San felt that this stone-cutting thing was really not something his psychological quality could bear.No, at least the current rough jadeite belongs to Jia Sidao. As a spectator, he seems anxious now. Ali next to her first gave Ah San an angry look, and then, that curious look was also cast on Jia Sidao.This unique stone-cutting process, from complete collapse, to revealing a glimmer of hope, to complete loss of hope, is like riding a roller coaster. Before Jia Sidao completely released the rough jadeite, no one knew what the ending would be. Only Uncle Zhou, when he looked at Jia Sidao, the look in his eyes was relatively calm!After all, people also play jade carving, and they have more or less experienced the experience of betting on stones.Jia Sidao let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I don't know what it will look like inside, so let's cut it later." With that said, the work of cutting stones began. Fortunately, everyone is almost immune to Jia Sidao's courageous attitude when he was cutting stones.At this moment, there is nothing to say, everyone's eyes are looking at the rough jadeite.Uncle Zhou deliberately picked up the thin slices that had just been cut, and began to study them carefully.After the sound of Jia Sidao starting the cutting machine stopped, Uncle Zhou's eyes turned to focus on the newly cut rough stone slices. However, before Uncle Zhou could take a closer look, Ali, who was beside her, sighed, "How could it be like this?" "Then what do you think it looks like?" Ah San, who was standing beside Jia Sidao, immediately yelled at Ali, but his eyes did not move away from the cut surface of the rough stone. In fact, even Jia Sidao himself was quite curious in his heart.However, because the cut surface of the rough jadeite is not very clean.The faintly revealed texture of the emerald is not very clear, which is enough to show that the texture of the emerald in these two places is not as good as expected. Fortunately, in terms of size, it is a bit larger than the section you saw just now. For this, Jia Sidao is quite satisfied. Drenched it with clean water, and looked at the entire cut surface of the rough jadeite, it looked much greener.Especially the part of the jade that has not changed color is just above Jia Sidao's line of sight.Some are narrow and long, and some are messy. Fortunately, the central area of ​​this part of the emerald is perfectly integrated, which makes people feel more comfortable when looking at it.There are occasional black spots dotted on the side, Jia Sidao pondered, this kind of rough jadeite, this shape, this composition is enough to test the craftsmanship of the upcoming Xu Zhiguo! On the other hand, the part of the light yellow jade that was closer to Jia Sidao's heel, when it suddenly appeared, almost became a semicircle.In terms of color, it is also relatively uniform, faint, and slightly dizzy.In addition, there are large pieces of white cotton distributed on the entire cut surface, some of which are stacked together, some are a little far apart, very erratic, and not very pure, with a lot of impurities mixed in between. There are also emerald textures. And this part of the emerald texture mixed in the white cotton, Jia Sidao is not going to dig them out. It was too much effort and thankless. In addition, on the periphery of these pieces of white cotton, there are some very obvious grass cores, which are small white dots! The dots of these grass cores are much whiter than the darker white cotton pieces.So, on the whole section, these grass cores are more attractive than the white cotton pieces.This made Jia Sidao ponder, if the surrounding white cotton were all green jade, he could take the opportunity to carve some emerald ornaments with the feeling of "Fengxue Mountain Temple". This idea is ready-made, isn't it?Then use it, it is estimated that it is not an infringement, right? Just as Jia Sidao was daydreaming recklessly and his thoughts were flying, Uncle Zhou, Ah San, and Ali were undoubtedly also expressing their own views on this rough stone section.In general, Uncle Zhou still thinks that although the texture and color of the jade cut out of this rough jadeite are not very good, they are still jadeite after all. If the rules of the bet were to be followed, the rough jadeite chosen by Jia Sidao would naturally rank ahead of the rough jadeite chosen by Ali. Ah San also helped Uncle Zhou in this way, making fun of Ali together. At this moment, Ah San's mood was quite different from just now.When Jia Sidao's final stone cutting was completed, the value of this rough jadeite was revealed, and there were no surprises at all.During the whole process, there was no feeling of ups and downs. The thrill of betting on stones disappeared after the stone cutting was over. The only one who still didn't give up was Ali, who seemed to be a bit unwilling to let Jia Sidao make a comeback. It is obviously a piece of waste, so how come a lot of emeralds have been cut out?Although the two clusters of emeralds that appeared, in Ali's eyes, they were really not very good. Ever since, Ali tilted her head and carefully looked at the two balls of emeralds, one green and one yellow. Green, the green is quite layered, the color in the middle is the darkest, and the shape is a bit narrow and long, while the edge part begins to gradually fade away. Some faint green jadeites are almost as thin as silk threads, entwined in the middle On the edge of the darker emerald; and yellow, the yellow is very pure, and the semicircular shape is like a semicircular moon in the night sky! moon! Ali's eyes couldn't help but light up for a while.Look at the group of green emeralds below, in the long and narrow part in the middle, a human figure can be seen vaguely.For a moment, Ali couldn't help shouting: "Ah. Come and take a look, stand by my side, take a quick look, isn't it a bit like a picture of Chang'e flying to the moon? No, this was originally It is a natural picture of Chang'e flying to the moon!" Having said that, Jia Sidao and the others couldn't help becoming curious, and everyone walked to Ali's side one after another. Because in the past, Jia Sidao was standing opposite Ali, and the pale yellow part of the rough jadeite was closer to him. Now, when he walked to the other side, the pale yellow part of the jade was really It's a half moon. And on the lower part, there is a slender green, just like a beautiful and graceful figure, at the corner, the green that fades slightly, like a flying skirt, and the flying green silk thread is also in the same place. In an instant, the elegance of the corners of the skirt was outlined, so that the white cotton on the entire cut surface of the original stone became vividly the night sky, and the slightly dark color was like clouds diffused with moonlight!And the scattered grass cores, in Jia Sidao's mind, were originally snowstorms at night, but now, because the grass cores are naturally not plump enough compared to the wind and snow, most of them are in the position. It is mainly inlaid on the edge of white cotton, isn't it just the little stars? The entire cut surface of the original stone only needs a few minor modifications, and the shape and scene of Chang'e flying to the moon come alive. Not to mention Ali who was the first to discover such a scene, even Jia Sidao, Uncle Zhou, and Ah San were stunned for a moment.And when you initially have such a rough outline in your mind, the more you look at it, the more similar it becomes.In the end, the three of them couldn't put it down. Just like a child looking at his favorite toy!
