The Book of Appreciation

When Wu Di came home, his father hadn't left work yet. His mother saw that he had bought a bunch of things and said:

"It's better to go to Jade Carving Township one day and buy it cheaper."

"I'll take a trip someday."

There are hundreds of villages in the hometown of jade carving, and every household has a jade carving machine.All kinds of topaz, Afghan jade, Russian jade and other cheap jade materials come from there.There are jade goods from Yudiao Township all over the country. There are a lot of good and bad people, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, but most of them are middle and low-end goods.

Wu Di didn't want to go to see these things, he mainly wanted to gamble on stones, not relying on the scriptures, but to practice his hands.I heard that the woolen materials from Yudiao Township can form a complete collection of fake woolen materials, which is one of the reasons why he wants to go.

Wu Di poured the set of black chess pieces he bought later on the bed, and began to identify them one by one.He first found an old chess piece with patina, and asked Wu Dan to look for it by looking at it.The two rummaged for about half an hour and found more than [-] different chess pieces.Wu Di checked again and threw back a few chess pieces, leaving a total of [-] chess pieces, which were obviously different from other chess pieces.Then start to check the information of black gems on the Internet.

Obsidian, black agate, black jade, black emerald...

There are a lot of information on black gemstones, among which black jade and black jade are the most expensive. Wu Di found a small flashlight with strong light and looked at them one by one. Sure, the rest were unresponsive.

Wu Di didn't intend to use the heavenly book to screen it, he couldn't afford it, and besides, even if it's all top-grade Mo Cui, such a little thing won't do much good, so let's take it back to the capital and ask someone to help read it.As long as you know that you didn't lose 2000 yuan, that's fine.

Wu Di browsed the Stone Gambling forum for a while, consolidated the knowledge he had learned online, asked a few more questions, and then left it alone.Take out "History of Chinese Ceramics" and continue to study.

The next day, Wu Di left his older sister at home on the pretext of having something to do, and drove straight to Yudiao Township.

There are three main streets in Yudiao Township. The streets are full of small shopfronts. There is a river in the middle of the street, and the riverside is full of stalls.Wu Di asked someone, and found the place to gamble easily.It is a small street with more than a dozen shops, and there are large and small stones outside each door.There is one family that has the most and is the most exaggerated, because there is a hill-like pile of wool piled outside its house, all of which are stones the size of a baby's fist.

Wu Di came earlier and there were not many people. He started to look at the first house.

The name of this shop is Stone Gambling World. It has a big name, and the shop area is less than thirty square meters.Wu Di first looked at the wool material with the window open, after reading it again, and then looked at the name of the store, it was clearly a fake stone world, which is too bullying!There are all kinds of pasting, restoration, powder dipping, and hole punching.Wu Di was afraid that he would not recognize him, but he didn't expect to connect it with the information on the document.I tried to ask two prices, but they were not expensive, which must be the reason why the shopkeeper didn't care about cheating.

I visited three stores in a row, but didn't make a single purchase.The price for good performance is high, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see it if it’s fake, and even he doesn’t like the poor performance, so why buy it?Do you really think you are a lucky little superman?

Walking out of the shop, Wu Di was stunned under the sun for a moment, and he realized that with his current level, this trip might be for nothing.I only think about the big rise, not to mention that I don’t have the corresponding level, and I’m still suspicious. In this case, it’s better to go back and forget it.

The fourth store is called Cuiyuxuan. I didn't see any shopkeepers, only an old man dozing off at the door.Wu Di took a fancy to a piece of wool at a glance. It was an irregular square piece, weighing more than two hundred catties in size, and its skin was gray and white, which was no different from that of an elephant in a zoo.

It was the first time for Wu Di to see the real old elephant skin, and he could recognize it at a glance. He couldn't help being a little happy, and quickly snatched it up. This old elephant skin is the legendary wool, and many of them are made of glass or high ice. Green is Gao Cui!It can't be taken away.

Wu Di squatted down and looked around the stone first. He didn't open the window and gambled on the stone.Then I looked at the cracks, and there were no cracks, and I also found two places where the sand was removed, which may reach the glass type.So lucky?This kind of stone should be snatched away as soon as it appeared!

Wu Di made up his mind, took out his flashlight, and was about to get close to the sand removal place to see the color, when a surprise voice suddenly came from his ear:

"Old Elephant Skin!"

Wu Di supported the stone and stood up. Not far away, there were three people walking towards him quickly. First of all, he was a middle-aged man with a big belly.The remaining two looked like followers.

A young man pointed to the stone in Wu Di's hand and asked:

"How do you sell this piece?"

The dozing old man woke up early, glanced at Wu Di, and said:

"The little brother is still watching!"

The young man turned to Wu Di and asked:

"Brother, let me take a look at the stone?"

Wu Di shook his head and asked the old man:

"How much is this stone?"

The old man remained expressionless and replied:

"500, no bargaining."

The other young man was about to speak when he was glared at by the middle-aged man and lowered his head embarrassingly.Seeing Wu Di pondering, the middle-aged man came up, handed Wu Di a business card, and said in broken Mandarin at the same time:

"Little brother, I have a shop in Yangcheng. I understand the rules. You guys talk about it first. If you can't talk about it, then talk about my business. Alas, Moxisha's old elephant skin. I haven't seen it for more than a year or two. This piece You're so big! I said old man Qin, you are so rude, I came here yesterday, why didn't you show it to me? Are you afraid I won't be able to afford the money? "

Wu Di smiled and didn't speak. He turned around and squatted down. With the cover of his body, he quietly took out the heavenly book. After printing, he glanced at it and saw more than a dozen small black spots, so he felt relieved.

A young man following the merchant called out to the old man in the local dialect:

"Exactly! Old Qin, why didn't we see this thing when we came here yesterday?"

Old man Qin rolled his eyes and said lazily:

"A batch of goods just arrived in the middle of the night yesterday, and Qiangzi and the others are still sorting them in the warehouse. I threw two pieces here first, and it is estimated that they will be ready in the afternoon."

"Great, it looks like I'm going to bleed a little this time. Boss Qin's stone material is good, not fake. I heard that this is the one on this street."

The middle-aged man speaks Cantonese mandarin, and even gives a thumbs up after speaking.

"Don't flatter me there, pay whatever price you want for stones, you don't even think it's cheap!"

Old Qin was very stubborn and didn't give him any face.

The middle-aged man rubbed his belly in embarrassment and smirked, turned his head and waved, and said something in a young man's ear, the young man nodded, and went over to discuss with Old Qin in a low voice,

"Grandpa, Mr. Mao wants to go to our warehouse to buy a batch of goods, do you think it's okay?"

"No, the warehouse is not open to the public. It depends on the goods last night, and how many yuan are still in the house. It is absolutely impossible to go to the warehouse."

The young man turned around and spread his hands, Mr. Mao said with a smile:

"That's okay, let's go to the front first. If this little brother doesn't want it, can you please stay with us for a while?"

"I don't care, I'll sell it if anyone wants it!"

The old man rushed very much.

The middle-aged man was embarrassed and said to Wu Di:

"Little brother, do you think about it?"

Wu Di has already figured it out. Since the book shows more than a dozen words, it proves that there must be something in it, otherwise it will only show four words of jadeite. This stone must be bought!When Mr. Mao asked him, he nodded and asked Old Qin head directly:

"Boss, can it be cheaper?"

Old Qin pushed his chin towards the middle-aged man, he didn't even bother to say anything.Wu Di smiled bitterly and said:

"Okay then, I'll buy it."

The middle-aged man wailed, congratulated Wu Di gracefully, and walked towards another store with his attendant.

After swiping the card to pay the bill, Wu Di took a few photos of the stone, deposited the stone at Old Man Qin's counter, and continued to walk forward.

A store in front saw Wu Di bought a 500 million stone, but he didn't even pay back the price. Knowing that he was being taken advantage of, he hurriedly greeted him, took him directly to the house, and mysteriously took out two pieces of wool from the safe.

The wool is not big, one piece is the size of a watermelon, and the other piece is irregular in shape. It seems that the size does not exceed five kilograms.Wu Di took out a bright flashlight, and first looked at the piece of wool the size of a watermelon.The black black sand skin looks like coal. Wu Di is not sure whether it is from Lao Pagan or Ma Meng. After touching it with his hands, the stone is relatively fine, and the water head should be good.There is an obvious pine flower on the upper right, and the strong flashlight shines on it, but there is no greenery, it seems that the shell is relatively thick.He is not quite sure about the python now, and after searching for a long time, he found two suspected python belts.On the back of the wool there are scattered ringworms with a tuft of pine flowers.

Wu Di looked at the wool material for a while, but found no obvious traces of fraud.Then start looking at the second piece.The performance of the second piece is better. There are three pine flowers on the small stone. The leather is warm and delicate. It is a standard Damokan water stone. When illuminated with a strong flashlight, it reveals a bright green color, which shows that the leather shell is very thin.Of course, it may also be high green under the skin, but the water stone of Damokan is like this. Although it can see the color, it can't penetrate inside, and it is actually bigger than the piece of wool just now.But neither piece of wool will come cheap.

Sure enough, when asked about the price, the price of the watermelon-shaped one was 120 million, and the price of the other one went up to 270 million.Wu Di didn't even have the intention to bargain, just shook his head and left, did he really treat himself as a noob?The boss knew that he was driving too high, and scared away the fat sheep. He yelled twice, but seeing that he couldn't keep it, he kept slapping himself in the room regretfully.

The performance of the next few wool fabrics is very average, but there are very few fake ones. Wu Di can't help doubting his own vision. Could it be that he was suspicious of the dark ghost at the first one and misread it?Compared with the capital, the price here is still fair, and I spent 10 yuan to buy a large, five small, and six pieces of wool based on my eyesight.

It was almost noon, and Wu Di was about to untie the newly bought big wool.It is wrong to say that it is big, but it is about five kilograms, which is not as big as a child's head.But the boss actually tried to shirk the fact that stone catalysis is not allowed in the booth, saying that it is a regulation in the market, because the next few streets are finished product sales areas, and he is afraid of affecting other customers. , he wrote a note that he could unblock the stone for free.

Wu Di had almost turned around, and the weather was getting hotter, so he was going to turn around and take the old elephant skin to open the way. When he passed a stall, he saw the middle-aged man from Guangdong. , said hello and left.

I asked at the old Qintou, and sure enough, there was a regulation in the market that no stones were allowed on the street, and there was a special stone factory on the outskirts of the town.Lao Qintou sent a few guys to help Wu Di load the wool into the car and point out the direction.Wu Di drove towards the Jieshi Factory.

The music of "Live for You" sounded in the car, and I opened it to see Pang Kuan's phone.Hearing that Wu Di was betting on stones in Yudiao Township, the kid yelled,

"Damn, you don't call me such a fun thing, or are you a brother? Be careful, you kid. I heard that there are more fake wool than real wool. I have a relative who opened a calcining factory. You will find it later. He's going to make a living. If you really want to buy it, ask him to take you to buy it, at least you won't be able to buy fakes."

"It's late, I'm looking for a place to unravel the stone now!"

"Damn, your kid probably fell into it. How much did it cost?"

Afraid of scaring him, Wu Di set up an ambush and said with a smile:

"Not much, one hundred thousand!"

"Damn! One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand is not much! I can't save it for ten years! But yes, for you, it's just drizzle. Remember, if you buy it again, you must call my relative. He called you."
