Chapter 177

"Elder brother, do you say this is the jade workshop of Yang family?" Chu fan dared not buy the channel.

At first, Wu Jingui said that he would take Chu fan to Yangjia jade workshop to select raw stones. Chu fan thought it was a factory. At least, there was a store like Longxiang jewelry store in Guangyuan City, followed by a processing factory.

But he never thought that the place known as jade workshop would be in a residential area, and it was an old house with a history of at least 100 years.

There is a plaque hanging on the high gate building. The handwriting on it has been blurred, but it looks very elegant. The vermilion paint gate, with half of the copper nails off, has become dilapidated, but it is still dutiful to protect the wind and rain. In addition, it blocks Chu fan and others outside.

Not to mention Chu fan, even Su Yuan and Yu Qiang Mei were secretly surprised. This place has nothing to do with jade.

"Brother, don't you know that?" Wu Jingui said with a smile. "There are many experts in the world, which can be seen by ordinary people?"

Chu fan feels the same way. Like Master Yu, he wanders around the park with his hands on his back all day. Who can see that he is a practitioner? If Chu fan hadn't been too abnormal, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the old man's opponent now. He would have to be beaten black and blue all day.

Suddenly, Chu fan's mind moved and said in surprise, "listen to what you mean, there is still an expert living here?"

"Hey, hey, I don't know if you've heard of the name of South crazy and North crazy?" Wu Jingui said with a mysterious smile.

Chu fan shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

"What? Crazy in the South and crazy in the north?" Yu Qiang Mei suddenly pointed to the door and shouted, "you mean, what lives in this door is crazy in the South - Yang Shuo, senior Yang?"

Chu fan was even more surprised: "Weiwei, do you know what the south is crazy and the north is crazy?"

"Nonsense, throughout Yunnan, who doesn't know nancrazy Yang Shuo and senior Yang?" Yu Qiang Mei was excited. "Yang is the leader in the jade industry. If you can ask him to help carve a pendant, the price will be at least twice as high as that sold on the market."

Even Wu Jingui is a little speechless. If anyone can ask old yang to help carve jade, his works will be worthless.

Afraid of going in and making a joke for a while, Wu Jingui patiently explained: "old Yang is recognized as the 'Jade King' among the people. In those years, he once selected 100 raw stones at the jade conference and cut them on the spot. Among them, 51 raw stones took out the jade, with a success rate of 50%."

"Although the quality of these 51 jade stones varies, this eyesight alone definitely deserves the title of Jade King."

Chu fan asked curiously, "how did the title 'South crazy' come from?"

"Old Yang not only has a good eye for distinguishing jade, but also has an ancestral jade carving skill. His southern style jade carving technique pays attention to one shot. For this reason, old Yang once went crazy and didn't close his eyes for three days and nights. He carved an unparalleled treasure, and therefore won the title of South crazy."

Before Wu Jingui finished, the door suddenly opened with a squeak. A smart child stood in the door and said, "who is Chu fan among you?"

"I am!" Chu fan quickly stood up.

Before he could speak, the child dodged away and said, "Grandpa let you in alone. Everyone else is waiting outside."

I wipe it. What a big shelf. Even the door is not allowed in.

Wu Jingui hurriedly said, "brother, you go in quickly. We'll just wait outside."

Su Yuan also smiled and comforted: "go, just pick a stone. Don't be too greedy."

"Elder martial brother, can you take me?" Yu Qiang Mei looked at Chu fan pitifully. Unfortunately, she didn't pay attention to her at all and strode in.

When Chu fan entered the door, the six or seven year old child immediately closed the door, as if one look at them would pollute her eyes. She made Yu Qiang Fei for a while and cursed him that little JJ was always six years old.

Unexpectedly, Chu fan entered the door and found it much better than imagined. The yard was paved with bluestone, and there was a tall Wutong tree on the left. Under the tree there were cane chairs and stone tables. It seemed that Yang Lao Ping love to sit under the tree and drink tea, even the teapot was placed on the stone table.

In addition, there is a small artificial pond on the right, in which some lotus flowers are planted and some fish are raised. At this time, it was early in the morning, and the lotus blossomed. The breeze blew, and suddenly the courtyard was full of fragrance.

Chu fan fell in love with it all at once. He thought that he would get such a house and plant lotus flowers in the future. When he was free, he would feed fish. If he was greedy, he could get two dozen tooth offerings.

A layman is a layman. He can't change the essence of eating goods at any time.

"Hey, this way!" the child shouted impolitely and took the lead in pushing open the front door of the main room.

When Chu fan went in, there were three original stones with windows open on the eight immortals table before the meeting.

Opening a window, as the name suggests, is tantamount to opening a skylight for jade raw materials. You can already see the tip of the iceberg of jade inside. This kind of raw stone is called half gambling material in the jargon.

The jadeite original stone of all gambling is called stuffy goods in the jargon. Even Yang, who is known as the king of jadeite, can't guarantee that there must be jadeite in it. But when the window is opened, you can already see the jadeite material inside. However, how much material you can take out is still unknown.

Therefore, there is still a gambling element in it, but the risk is much smaller than the whole gambling material, and the price is naturally not cheap. It is almost half the price of jadeite material.

The raw stone material for full gambling is much cheaper, and many people prefer full gambling. It's like casting a net. Once a piece of top-grade material is opened, it's a big profit. If all the losses are recovered, there will be a large income. But often the money won will soon be thrown in and lose everything.

A knife to heaven, a knife to hell, this is the most true portrayal of the gambling industry.

"Here are three pieces of materials carefully selected by grandpa. You can choose one of them." the child moved a small bench and sat at the door, humming, "give you ten minutes to choose quickly."

I'm really an expert. I can't even see my face. I got three original stones with windows open. It's a gift for nothing.

Chu fan just took a look and was attracted by the three original stones. Through the side of the window, Chu fan found that the colors of the jade in the three original stones were different. Except for the pure dark green in the middle, the bright red like blood on the left and the enchanting purple on the right.

These days, Chu fan has accumulated some knowledge of jadeite jade when he gets along with Wu Jingui. He knows that besides the traditional green, there are also rare varieties of red jadeite, yellow jadeite, purple jadeite, blue jadeite and so on.

Red is jadeite and green is jade. Together, they are collectively referred to as jadeite. Among them, jadeite is those rare varieties of jade. It can be said that the value of this red and purple rare jadeite is much higher than that of green jadeite of the same quality.

However, the green jade in the middle is dark green and pure. Even Chu fan, a layman, can see that it is extraordinary and its quality is definitely higher than the other two rare Jadeites.

But in this way, it's embarrassing. One out of three, which is better?

Chu fan hesitated and decisively opened the perspective eye. Since the quality cannot be determined, choose from the size. This is a very simple truth. You have to choose a bigger one to eat pears.

But Chu fan only looked at it, and his nose was almost crooked. It's so special. It's too stupid.

The three jade materials are all about 5kg. According to the skylight opened, everyone will think that at least half of the materials can be pulled out. But at the moment of Chu fan's perspective, the three materials don't even have a fifth, and the position of opening the window is just one side of the three materials.

So, on the surface, it seems that scraping the skin is meat, but in fact, there are all bones and only a little meat.

This is a pit, but Chu fan doesn't understand. Since you don't want to give it, why are you so generous?

If you don't understand, Chu fan simply doesn't want it. He looks back and smiles, "little brother, please ask old Yang for me. Can I choose an original stone by myself? If old Yang doesn't agree, I won't force it, but I won't want these three jade stones."

The child looked at Chu fan curiously. In his opinion, Chu fan is a fool. You don't want to open the window. You have to choose by yourself. Can you have grandpa's eyesight?

However, he met Chu fan for the first time. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He had to say, "wait a minute. I'll go to the backyard and ask Grandpa."

With that, the child ran to the backyard. Chu fan was not in a hurry, so he sat down on the bench where the child had just sat, took out the cigarette, hesitated for a moment, but did not light it.

After waiting for about two minutes, the child ran back and said breathlessly, "Grandpa asked me to invite you over and come with me."

Chu fan quickly got up, followed the child, bypassed the front yard and came to the backyard from a slate Road on the right. The scenery here is an eye opener for Chu fan. In this big city with an inch of land and an inch of gold, some people don't build houses but plant flowers and plants, making it like a garden.

Probably, that's what experts do.

Chu fan followed the child, bypassing peach trees, and a house covering an area of more than 100 square meters appeared in front of him. The child opened the door and went straight in. Chu fan followed him. When he entered the door, he found that it was a workshop. An old man with gray hair and stone powder on his work clothes was polishing jade on the workbench.

Before Chu fan could speak, the old man said without lifting his head: "all the stuffs in the next room are stuffy goods. Pick them yourself. Remember, you can only take one."

At this time, the child had pushed open the door next door and asked Chu fan to go in. Chu fan had to swallow what he had to say back, bypass the workbench and go to the storage room next door.

The old man raised his head, glanced at Chu fan's back and snorted with disdain
