jade life

"Young man, do you want to unravel the stone?" The shopkeeper came up and asked again. Although there were always people picking wool in the shop, Jieshi could attract more people.

"Solution!" Su Zhiyang nodded, and said to Huang Xinghong with a smile, "Xinghong, should you solve it first?"

"Okay." Huang Xinghong nodded excitedly. He looked at the big watermelon fur beside him and said with a look of embarrassment, "But I don't know how to dissect stones."

"It doesn't matter, the master in our shop can help you." The owner said happily, "Our business rules, if you only use a cutting machine, you need 50 yuan to solve each time, and if you want the master to help you, you need [-] yuan."

The owner is talking about the market price, and the cost of cutting stones is generally not high. What the owner sees is the effect brought about by the increase in cutting, not the rental of the cutting machine.

Nowadays, stone cutting is generally done with a cutting machine, and there are large and small cutting machines. For small wool like Jie, a small cutting machine is enough.

There is a saying in the jargon of cutting stones that rubbing up is not counting up, but cutting up is up.Stone cutting is the most critical step in betting on stones. The conclusion of winning or losing can only be determined after the stone is cut open.

There are generally two methods for cutting stones. One is the original cutting method, which is to press the sand with a bow saw and slowly saw the stone.If it is found that the cutting cannot be continued, it is convenient to take rescue measures.

Another is to use a jade cutting machine to cut the diamond layer on the cutting blade, which is accurate and quick to cut, but it is not easy to see the cutting process when the stone is soaked in oil or water with the jig in place, and the winner can only be known by cutting it completely.

Nowadays, jade cutting machines are generally used, which is the second method, so it is said that cutting stones wins with one knife and loses with one knife.

The first thing to do when cutting stones with a knife is to find the right part, which requires marking lines before cutting stones. The skill of marking lines is the key to betting on stones.If the line is not well drawn, even if it is made of good material, if there is glass-like top-quality jadeite in it, the price will vary greatly if it is cut from the middle.

Therefore, generally, the masters of the stone-cutting workshops who help cut stones have to ask the original owner of the wool for their opinions before cutting, and they will draw the lines.

Of course, if the person who interprets the stone is a real layman, it is just for fun, and it is fine for the master to decide for himself. However, if it is broken, the master is not responsible.

Master Jie Shi called over, looked at the big watermelon wool, also noticed the thin crack, and frowned.

"Do you want to draw a line?" the owner asked, and he could tell that Huang Xinghong was a layman.

Of course Huang Xinghong is an outsider, but Su Zhiyang is not.

Huang Xinghong looked at Su Zhiyang with a little excitement. Su Zhiyang looked at the big watermelon wool over and over again, calculated it, and drew a line on the wool.

"Cut it from here!"

The master looked at Su Zhiyang in surprise. He thought he would cut the stone himself, so he had carefully calculated the approximate cutting edge, which was very similar to the line drawn by Su Zhiyang.

The cutting part of the stone is usually cut from the edge of the knife or from the top and bottom of the 颟, and the knife can also be cut from the pine flower or along the crack. Some very detailed calculations are required. The master found that the line drawn by Su Zhiyang is better than his own. What I thought was five or six millimeters more, did I make a mistake, or did this young man make a mistake?

The master couldn't help but looked at it carefully again, and finally saw a piece of ringworm on the surface of the woolen material. He suddenly realized that the way he looked at Su Zhiyang was different, with a bit of horror and enthusiasm.

Stone cutting doesn't care whether the stone is good or bad. Before cutting, no one dares to say whether the bet will go up or down. Therefore, the stone cutter treats each piece of wool carefully and meticulously, which is also his professional ethics.

The master started, holding the stone and aiming at the cutting machine, and with a single stroke, Huang Xinghong clenched his palms nervously.

Because someone was betting on stones, the store was full of people again.

The wool was uncovered, and everyone surrounded it with a whoosh, only a hint of green appeared in the lower left corner of the sliced ​​noodles, and everyone cheered, "It's green..."

This knife cut was extremely precise, and when the knife went down, it cut through the fog and did not touch the emerald.

Su Zhiyang was not too excited. He pointed the flashlight at the lower left corner. It was not a question of whether the stone would turn green, but whether cracking would affect the emerald.

Sure enough, a big crack ran across the emerald, but fortunately, there were only big cracks and no small cracks, so I couldn't remove the bracelet, but there were still two or three pendants.Therefore, this jade is still worth some money.This is a piece of bean jadeite. Judging from the purchase of wool for 1 yuan, it has risen a little.

Although it was only a small rise, Huang Xinghong was so excited that the corners of his mouth twitched.This is the first piece of wool he personally selected for the first time in his life. It is really lucky to be able to gamble up.
