Chapter 571 A Special Raw Stone of Beeswax
So Yu Yao took a closer look at the old beeswax on the stall.

Most of the stalls are new beeswax handicrafts, and only a small part of old beeswax is displayed.In addition to the 108 strings on the hands of middle-aged women, there are also three strings of jujube beads with a diameter of about 18 to 20 mm, and more than a dozen pieces of pancakes.

These old beeswax on the stall are actually genuine.

Such shops and stalls are actually quite rare.In today's market, it is no exaggeration to say that more than 90.00% of the so-called old beeswax are baked and aged.

Men can only give up to [-], and they refuse to add more; while middle-aged women can only give up to [-].

Finally the man left.The middle-aged woman smiled wryly, "I don't even want the real old wax at this price."

"This is because there are too few people with good eyesight in the market." Pu Jie continued at this moment, "Sister Fang, are you Sister Fang?"

"Yes, my surname is Fang." After hearing Pu Jie's words, the middle-aged woman showed a smile on her face, "Do you three also want to buy old beeswax?"

"Sister Fang, how do you sell these strings of jujube beads?" Old Zhou asked.

"The diameter of these strings of jujube beads is more than 18 mm. Each one is carefully selected. The gram price is higher than that of 108 strings, which is [-] grams."

Lao Zhou picked up a bunch, played with it a few times, and looked at the hole again.

The key to identifying old beeswax beads is the channel.Whether it is baked or aged, the weathered pattern on the surface of the bead is easy to say, but the channel is the most difficult to deal with, and it is easy to show clues.

After Lao Zhou finished watching, he couldn't help but look at Yu Yao again.

Yu Yao nodded slightly, indicating that things are fine.

"If the gram price is [-], I'll play with a bunch." Lao Zhou laughed.

Sister Fang shook her head lightly, "It's not worth it. I bought old European trade beads in currency. Some of them were broken during transportation, some were badly damaged, and some were of inconsistent quality. The fine strings I picked out, I want a gram price of three hundred and eight, but I can't actually make much money."

Lao Zhou nodded, she was telling the truth.However, Lao Zhou is still not going to buy it, because it is not something he likes to play with himself, and it is meaningless if it is not cheap.

"Sister Fang, do you still have single thicker old beeswax stumps here?" Yu Yao used to buy a bunch of small walnut skewers in the village when he accompanied Lin Fengcao to buy furniture in Yanjing, and now he has sold them all. Some red brightened; he didn't take it with him when he went out, but suddenly remembered that it was time to add some accessories.

The so-called pier is actually a relatively thick pancake; the pancake is too thin, and it doesn't look good when added to the small walnut skewers.

"Yes, there are pancakes and jujube beads outside, and there are thick dumplings in the room, let's go in and have a look!" Sister Fang replied.Then she called out a young man who was watching the stall outside, and she brought Yu Yao and the three of them into the shop.

The storefront is just a one-story house, not too big. Sister Fang found three old beeswax bricks from the counter and asked Yu Yao to pick them.

Yu Yao didn't bother with this kind of gadget, he picked one that was the right size.A single old beeswax pie is cheaper than a bunch, and each pie is only six or seven grams, and the total price is more than 1000 yuan.

Yu Yao took out his mobile phone and swiped the QR code to pay.At this time, a female shop assistant came over with a plastic box, walked up to Sister Fang and put it on the counter, "Sister Fang, this is the rough stone for tonight's live broadcast spike, how to set the price?"

There is a vertical partition in the middle of this plastic box, and there are small pieces of beeswax rough stones inside. Sister Fang pointed to the two sides respectively, "The black material is 13 yuan and 39 yuan, and the Russian material is [-] yuan and [-] yuan."

Pu Jie probed to look, then stretched out his hand to pull the beeswax rough stone, "Live instant kill?"

Sister Fang nodded, "That's right, live broadcast at night, put out rough stones for customers to choose, and after the selection is done, the skin will be polished on the spot, and ordinary things will be processed for free, such as beads, bagels, brands and so on."

"You also have a gambling nature?" Pu Jie asked again.

"No matter what kind of rough stone, there is gambling. But the beeswax is okay, most of them have been opened through the window, and generally it can be seen through when the light is turned on, so you can roughly judge it—except for some black-skinned thick leather materials. And some all-skinned white materials , the lighting is not transparent, and the gambling is particularly strong; white wax is expensive, and if you win the bet, you will make a lot of money, but if there are too many blacks, you will lose.”

In fact, the rough stones with such flash prices are basically picked by merchants. The wax quality is not necessarily bad, but the shape is basically irregular. If you want to make finished products, the yield rate will be relatively low.For example, a [-]-gram rough stone is crooked and unsuitable for anything; the final finished product may only be ten or eight grams.

"Isn't there still a kind of imperial miscellaneous?" Pu Jie asked.

"Hehe." Sister Fang smiled slightly, "I don't like this, so I won't comment."

In fact, the "diwang miscellaneous" in beeswax, in the eyes of many experts, is a gimmick for business hype.

The so-called "diwang miscellaneous" means that there are many impurities in the ore, but the distribution is better, or because of the impurities, a special pattern is formed.But in fact, impurities are impurities, and it is not beeswax. The businessman made this gimmick, "turning waste into treasure", naturally to make more money.However, it can be regarded as capturing the psychology of some people.

Pu Jie stood on one side of Sister Fang, and Yu Yao stood on the other side. When they were talking, Yu Yao had already paid the money, and took advantage of the opportunity to look into the plastic box.

In fact, Yu Yao is not proficient in beeswax rough stones; however, he found a somewhat special rough stone with khaki-yellow skin, and on a whim, he reached out and took it out.

With this rough stone, Yu Yao felt that it was more than one or two, that is, more than 50 grams, and the shape was also irregular, which was hard to describe, like a triangular body that had been beaten in many places and fractured.

The khaki-yellow skin looks very thick and a bit craggy; at the same time, some raised areas are slightly rounded and shiny.

"Sister Fang, how do you sell this piece?"

"Oh, this is Russian material. It's a special price of 39 yuan and [-] grams. You can grind the skin for free, and process some simple bead pendants. If you want to process carved pieces, you will have to pay extra processing fees." Sister Fang introduced and looked carefully Look, "This piece of lighting is not transparent at all, but it really might be bone china pewter inside. If you win the bet, you may make a lot of money!"

"But there are black dots and black stripes on it, if it sneaks in, it will be useless, right?"

Sister Fang smiled, "It's a special price."

"Sister Fang, did you collect all these materials?" Yu Yao asked again.

"Well. To be honest, they are all new minerals mined this year."

"Okay, then I'll take this one, is it okay?"

"Then what's the problem? Come on, I'll weigh you, and wipe off any change!" Sister Fang responded readily.

Both Pu Jie and Lao Zhou couldn't help being taken aback, wondering why did Yu Yao even play stone betting on the spot?

Yu Yao naturally has Yu Yao's reason.

He is not proficient in beeswax rough stones, but he is good at identifying traces.Judging from the raw skin, this piece of beeswax raw stone is absolutely impossible to be newly mined this year!And has been played with.Judging from the comparison of the weathering of the skin and the traces of playing, it will take at least 20 years to be mined.

Another point is that this is not like the skin of the Russian raw white wax; this layer of skin is more like a mineral rock texture, although it is not so hard and dense.
