Chapter 61

I saw that the basin of water was like being poured into a bowl of blood, turned red, and this is just the color of blood, but it is not as thick as blood, it is still clear to the bottom.

"This How is that possible? Is it really like brother Chu that you said before, this jade cicada was soaked in blood before? " Wen Yuting said in surprise. In the end, she was even more scared and pale.

Chuchen said with a smile: "how can this be possible? In fact, there is no final conclusion about Xueqin. If you think about it, people's blood coagulates as soon as they die. How can they go to Qinyu. Just like in our daily life, even if we kill a chicken, the blood drops on the ground will turn purple and black in a short time. "

"It will take at least several hundred years for the jade to form after it softens underground. At this time, the blood has long been unknown what material it has become. How can it go to Qinyu and produce such a bright red Qinyu?"

At the end of Qing Dynasty, Liu Datong said, "the method of forging ancient jade, Hongguang grass, like Rubia, comes out of the mountains of Xining. Sweat can dye jade, add a little brain sand, burn it with bamboo branches, and the red light comes out. This method is called laotiyou, which is rare now. The new method of extracting oil is to simmer it with sawdust of ebony, the color is black, and simmer it with sawdust of mahogany, the color is red

"So now some people think that Xueqin in the handed down jade is probably related to hongguangcao. As for whether this is the case or not, we have no way to consider it, so don't be so afraid, Xiaowen. "

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wen Yuting calmed down a little, but the vision in front of her was still very curious, so she asked, "what's going on?"

"Xiaochen, is this the jade born in legend?" Zhou Wenping also asked excitedly.

Chuchen said with a smile: "yes, brother Zhou said, this is the answer you want."

It is rare in the world, and many people have no chance to see it in their life.

The so-called birth, is originally a fine texture of suet white jade, after hundreds of years buried in the soil, full of corpse blood corpse gas invasion. After being unearthed, it was played by people. In this way, after a hundred years of popularity infiltration, however, it was unearthed again and again, and it was repeated several times before it was born.

"Brother Chu, you still said it wasn't made of human's blood bubble, so why is the birth jade such a statement?"

Seeing Wen Yuting's trembling appearance, Chu Chen said, "Xiaowen, this is just a kind of people's saying. No one knows what's going on with her. Besides, if you smell the water, does it smell of blood? "

Li Guodong suddenly said: "ah, I remember. A book said that when the eight powers invaded the capital and Cixi fled to the west, she carried a small piece of ancient jade with her. Later, it was given to the accompanying Minister Wang Wenshao. It is said that the jade was also born out of the womb. Xiaowen, think about it. Cixi is not afraid of jade. What else are you afraid of? "

"Really?"

Wenyuting see chuchen they nodded yes, and then really went to smell the basin of water, really no taste, this just let go.

Chu Yulan asked: "brother Chu, when will this jade be soaked?"

"About two or three hours."

"Ah! It will take so long! " Chu Yulan said in surprise.

Chuchen said with a smile: "you know, this is an ancient jade. We can only deal with it after some impurities on it have softened completely. Otherwise, the jade will be damaged. There is just some time. I'll tell you what we should do after we get an unearthed ancient jade. "

"If you get an ancient jade that hasn't been unearthed for a long time, someone may use 84 disinfectant to clean it, but it can't work. We know that 84 is corrosive. After using it, it will corrode the ancient jade. If you must use it to disinfect, the concentration must be below 10%."

"As we generally do, we just need to soak it in clean water at room temperature to soften the impurities on the surface, and then clean it with a toothbrush, and then soak it in hot water about 50 or 60 degrees, until the hot water and jade slowly cool naturally. It's better to put it in a heat preservation place with no air circulation, and wait until the hot water slowly cools down."

"The function of using hot water is to make the pores of jade fully relax and spit out the internal dirt. In this way, the cold weather season is once every three months, and in summer it is once every two months. If we do it three times in total, we can finish it. "

Hearing this, Chu Yulan asked: "brother Chu, is it possible to set jade like this?"

"Yes, as long as the first time after cleaning, you can plate jade."

Chu Yulan asked again, "brother Chu, do you know how to plate jade?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "I'm not omnipotent. I really don't know much about Panyu. After all, I haven't panned Guyu. Xiaolan, do you want to dish that jade bowl? If that's the case, I suggest you give it up. Let's not say that Chendu Stan jade is light and thin. As far as the volume of the jade bowl is concerned, it's not convenient to plate it. "

Chu Yulan thought about it, but it's really like this, so she was embarrassed and said, "I didn't think of this."

Next, while it's still a little time, we'll talk about all kinds of jade problems together. Especially, Chu Chen tells some eye-catching stories related to the identification of jade, which makes us enjoy it.Because it is summer, the weather is hot, so this cicada soak for two hours, you can clean. So Chu Chen picked up his toothbrush and brushed it very carefully. As the mud on the cicada was brushed clean bit by bit, a jade cicada like a ruby gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"It's so beautiful."

When he saw the real face of jade cicada, Li Guodong and others all widened their eyes, with a look of surprise on their faces.

After cleaning the cicada, Chu Chen gently wiped it with a cotton towel, then took out a magnifying glass and observed it carefully. About ten minutes later, he put down the magnifying glass, breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the cicada to others to watch.

After everyone looked at it, Chu Chen thought a little and said, "this jade cicada should be a cicada made in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago. The jade material used should be the top White tallow jade, and then it was made in the Five Dynasties. It took almost a hundred years to play with it."

"In the Song Dynasty, they went back to the earth, and in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, they unearthed the earth that had been played for a period of time, then they went back to the earth for more than a hundred years, and finally they came out again. These can be seen from the traces of Baojiang and different pan jade techniques. "

"It's so troublesome. It's unearthed, it's played and it's buried. Is it related to the earth?" Li Guodong muttered after listening.

Chuchen jokingly said: "who called it a cicada? You think, a cicada's larva has to stay underground for several years to see the sun again, and if it was not so unearthed and buried, there would not be such a beautiful jade. Come on, let's see what it's like to put it in the water now. "

At this point, Chu Chen directly asked for 50 or 60 degrees of hot water, just to complete the cleaning steps.

When the reincarnated cicada was put into the water, everyone's eyes were still full of shock, and there was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the two girls.

When the jade cicada enters the water, the color of the water becomes bright red. The difference is that because of the red water reflection, the scarlet jade cicada at the bottom of the basin is more bright red. Under the afterglow of the sun, it seems that the whole jade cicada is emitting a faint red light. It is simply beautiful.

Chu Yulan couldn't help but ask: "brother Chu, I don't know..."

Before he finished, he was interrupted by Chu Chen: "Xiaolan, I'm very sorry. No matter what, I won't change hands. I'll treasure it all the time."

Seeing the firm expression on his face, Chu Yulan knew that he could not be moved by any means, unless However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately ruled out by her. Maybe in the future, but now she has not considered it clearly.

Zhou Wenping looked at the jade cicada and exclaimed, "this jade cicada should be the only one that has been born. From the performance point of view, it's much better than the legendary Cixi piece. I don't know why Ma An didn't clean it up at the beginning."

Chuchen said with a smile: "I think it's very possible that he saw the blood red jade dug up. It's not lucky!"

This was guessed by him. Ma An thought it was bad luck because the jade cicada was unearthed and blood red, so he kept it in a corner. He didn't know that it was a legendary jade

In the evening, Chu Chen took out the cicada and watched it repeatedly for a long time before he was satisfied. This jade cicada is too precious. After Chu Chen got it, the progress bar of the ability directly filled one tenth of its value, that is, 10 million.

However, when it comes to this, Chu Chen has some complaints, because the value of this jade cicada is even higher based on the evaluation of the power, that is to say, no matter how high the value of the related things is, it can only make the progress full of one tenth at most. But fortunately, he is not in a hurry. After waiting for the south of Yunnan, with the help of gambling stones, he wants to save quickly.

Then, if Chu Chen collected the jade cicada seriously because it was too precious, instead of playing with it, it would be a cruel thing to get treasure. To get an ancient jade, you must play, and you must play more. Only in this way can ancient jade show more of its characteristics, and this process is the plate jade mentioned earlier.

Although chuchen also knew that there were three types of jade plates: the first was the urgent plate, the second was the slow plate, and the third was the Italian plate. However, he didn't know much about how to make the dish because he didn't practice it. Moreover, he was even more unclear about the method of jade plate that was suitable for this fledgling jade cicada. He plans to go to Wu Shu and Liu Lao for advice as soon as he gets back.
