Road idiot tour guide

Chapter 399
Entering the jewelry night market, the accents from the south and the north are mixed with the strong Mandarin of the Burmese, and it really feels like you have come to the vegetable market.

Although the stalls are also green, what is sold on the stalls is not vegetables, but emeralds.

"The origin of jadeite is in Myitkyina, Myanmar, but it is true that the jade came out of Tengyue. Because it was originally one. The area of ​​Luchuan is under the jurisdiction of Yongchang County. In fact, the territory of Luchuan has extended to Myanmar.

After the power of the Luchuan Kingdom retreated to Myanmar, it mainly relied on mining jadeite, doing jadeite business, preparing for a comeback, and maintaining it in Myanmar for 200 years.Both jadeite and ruby ​​were sought after by the imperial court during the Qing Dynasty.

Although our country has always had a jade culture, the Central Plains is in the north, and the pursuit of Hetian jade is stronger.After the Qing Dynasty reformed the land and returned to Liuzhou, it was found that jadeite and Nanhong jade in Yunzhou were more colorful than our original jade, so they became popular.

Later, the country's boundaries continued to change, and the place of origin also belonged to foreign countries.However, Tengchong's status as a jade distribution center and processing center has remained unchanged for 2000 years.

In modern times, it began to transfer to Ruili.The soul-stirring stone gambling culture has also been passed down.Many businessmen and tourists come here to gamble their luck. "

Tourists are very excited, watching the crowds coming and going, squatting on the ground to pick stones, bargaining, and feel what it means to buy emeralds like buying vegetables, which is too atmospheric.

I couldn't help itching and wanted to pick it.

He Huan walked all the way, and had already seen it, it was all stones!

Look at the tourists, "Calm down! Why are you poor, rich, and covered with sackcloth, and others are playing with heartbeats. Let's have fun and don't have too much expectation. The good raw materials have been taken away long ago, and the remaining stones are For us to play."

A basin of cold water calmed everyone down, but it still felt very atmospheric.

He Huan led them along while looking at the stones at their feet, "Although gold is valuable and jade is priceless, but this thing has been passed down for so many years, how could there be no standard?

In fact, where did it come from?Which floor is it?What is the average quality of the stones on the first floor of this field?What is the market price of the processed products?All have a specific price range.

If the stone comes from a good background, the owner of the mine will be the first one to take it away, so the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.The second ones are those big jewelers, big customers of mines.The rough jadeite is also based on one's origin. "

The tourists were helpless, "It turns out that the emeralds can also be seen!"

"Otherwise? What in this world doesn't recognize one's background? The price of most jadeite rough stones is set based on one's birth, and the price is also transparent. Even if there are fluctuations, the ups and downs are not big.

Gold is priceless, jade is priceless, it is an outsider.Outsiders do not know the doorway.In fact, a mature industry for so many years already has a set of standardized models.

A piece of rough jadeite is dug out from the mine, and then flowed to the market, it has to go through multiple screenings and pass through the hands of many experts.These experts are all veterans of playing with stones, not only have experience, but also have sophisticated and professional identification tools.

So most of the rocks you see here, are really just rocks. "

"Ah!" Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Let's see if there are any better rough stones. You can buy one or two pieces and try them out. If there are no suitable ones, we'll go pick someone else's processed ones."

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded, Xiaobailong had brought them to buy Nanhong, there was no doubt about his picky jadeite vision.

Master Zhou also happily followed, waiting to catch up with Xiao Bailong.

This is really a leak!The good ones were taken away long ago.After going through many levels of background, experts, and equipment, if you can really bump into a good stone, isn't it just a mistake?

"Hey! Little White Dragon! Look!" A tourist pointed to a stone with an open window, which revealed an attractive green.

"Take a look! There's green in it!" The boss picked up the stone and handed it to the tourists, seeing that they didn't have a flashlight, and offered to provide the flashlight, "Look, it's definitely worth buying this piece! The green is so transparent! It is possible to cut out full green!"

"How much is this?" the tourist asked excitedly.

"One hundred thousand!"

He Huan flirted with the tourist. The tourist looked at him, put down the stone, and followed him, "What's wrong? That's very green! It's also very green when the flashlight shines on it!"

"If the inside is full of green, one hundred thousand for you?"

The tourist calmed down and looked back, still reluctant, "But it's really green!"

He Huan looked at them, so those who didn't understand came to Ruili, and it was really easy to be fooled.No wonder one is poor, one is rich, and the other is covered in linen!Think about buying a real stone for [-] yuan, you can't wait to kill yourself with this stone!

"Why do some rough stones have to open windows? Just to let you see the green inside. But you can see the green inside, why is he willing to sell?
This stone is really green like he said, how many bracelets do you need to cut?How many pendants to play?If it is processed, it will not be sold for millions?One hundred thousand for you?People who sell stones are more stupid than you who buy stones? "

The tourists couldn't help laughing, and the tourist calmed down, "Okay! If it weren't for you, I really want to buy it! It's so tempting!"

"Isn't it attractive? It's green!" He Huan said, "But the rough stone, the bet is the heartbeat, let you see that green piece, do you believe it? You have to believe it, what you buy is not as good as what you sell!"

Everyone nodded.

"Many of the so-called rough stones here are actually processed. I'm afraid you won't believe me, so I opened the window to show you. But the more the window is opened, the more attention should be paid. Because if it is really good, he can't help but cut it all. It’s open, waiting for you? These windows are usually fake windows.”

"what!"

"Do you know that kind of window painting? You may not have experienced it. Poor workers, living in a dark room, put up a picture, the outside is green, pretending to be a window, pretending to live in a garden community. Actually, alas."

"Little Bailong, are you so miserable?"

"Yes! I also lived in a very dilapidated and old house! Anyway, jade is the same. In order to make you believe that there is real jade in it, they will make fake windows."

"How?" Everyone looked at Xiao Bailong curiously.It doesn't matter whether you can buy good stones or not, the key is to be curious about this market!
"Generally, you choose a good place on the rough stone, dig a small groove, fill it with green materials, and carefully trim it to pass it off as jadeite."

"what!"

"There are also some poor-quality jades. Cuts will be made on the jade, and jadeite with good texture and bright colors that is similar in size to the cuts will be pasted, and the good quality of the parts will cover up the bad quality of the whole. Just now it is a patch."

"Ah!" The tourist who was still tempted just now felt that he had saved a hundred thousand!

"There are still some jadeites that are transparent, but the color is not green enough. The merchant will dig a hole in the middle of the raw material, inject green, and then glue the hole with jadeite. This way the appearance looks full of color, but it is actually a false color filled inside. come out."

"Ah!" Everyone nodded, but they didn't expect there to be so many ways here.

"As soon as the good products from Myanmar come out, they have already been sold first, and what are sold here are some leftover stones, and they will not let go of these leftover stones.

Generally, a small hole is opened in the rough stone first, and the quality of the material is tested. If it is good, the window will be opened again. If it is not good, the small hole will be blocked with chemicals, and it will flow into the market again. "

"what!"

"So you think it's easy to pick up the leaks in this market? I've tried countless times. The rough stones are not necessarily the rough stones.

Some use marble or amphibolite to pretend to be rough jadeite and paint it with color.Some don't even fake it, and directly mix the pebbles into the rough jadeite.How do you tell the difference? "

After He Huan said this, everyone calmed down a lot.

"These things are enough for you. This is called fake meat. But for some experts, they don't even look at you opening the window, just look at the complete rough stone. At this time, some merchants will make fake leather."

"Fake leather?" Tourists were surprised, "Stone and leather?"

"That's right! You all look at the same stone, but there is a layer of weathered skin on the surface of the rough emerald. For experts, you can roughly tell which field or even which layer came out from the color and texture of the skin, and then infer the inner surface. The quality is good or bad."

"Ah!" Everyone hugged Xiao Bailong's arm excitedly, "Little Bailong, you must be an expert! Help us find out!"

The tourists looked at the stone excitedly, then at He Huan, but they never nodded or spoke.

These merchants are still good, you can look at them and touch them casually, and it’s okay if you don’t buy them after reading them.

Seeing tourists pick up stones, they all look at the little white dragon.

The boss also understood who is their backbone, so he recommended it to Xiao Bailong, "This stone is not bad! 60.00% is made of waxy ice green!"

He Huan touched it, "Can this skin be scraped?"

"Can't scratch." The boss shook his head and quickly snatched the stone back.

Everyone left the booth, and the tourist asked curiously, "Why do you want to shave your skin?"

"The stone just now is made of black sand skin. The rough jadeite with black sand skin will have a darker green color, and sometimes it will produce emeralds full of green."

"Then why don't you buy it and try it?" A tourist turned around and wanted to buy it.

He Huan held back, "If he doesn't let it be scraped, there is a problem. Because experts buy rough jadeite to see the skin, the greenish green in the rough jadeite with yellow sand skin is more likely, but the color distribution is uneven. The quality of rough jadeite with iron sand skin is better. High-grade materials can be produced.

In order to deceive the eyes of experts, some merchants will cut the high-quality rough stones and grind the weathered leather left over into powder, then use special glue to mix and stick them on the low-quality rough stones, and then dip them again to look like natural weathering. Skin. "

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

"If he asks you to scrape it off, you can see whether it is fake leather or real leather."

The tourists looked at Xiao Bailong, but fortunately they followed Xiao Bailong, otherwise they would be cheated to death.

Walking around, some stones are priced at tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.But more are thousands of hundreds of stones.

"Is there jade for hundreds of stones? Anyone else buy it?"

"The hundreds of pieces are usually real stones, not even stones picked up in mines, maybe stones picked up by the river."

"Is that okay?"

"That's right! If you know how to play, you can also pick up a few stones and sell them for hundreds of dollars!"

The tourists laughed, "Let's go pick up stones!"
