Everyone was surprised to find that there was something milky white and slightly yellow in the hole, which was round and rolling, just like a part of an insect, which made everyone confused and didn't know what was going on!
"Is this the moth in the tree?" Chu Yulan some uncertain said.
After listening to what Chu Yulan said, we really think that's what happened. This thing is probably a moth in the tree.
"But I don't think I've heard of borers in this kind of tree jade." Liu Sizhe said with a puzzled face.
Dong said with a smile: "it shows that this phenomenon is very rare. The tree jade with insects should be very valuable!"
Su Jinning glared at Dong fatty and said: "you know money all day! The whole person has gone through the money hole! "
"It's not for buying you something you like!" Dong fatty's expression exaggerates to please a way.
Fat Dong's cheap appearance made everyone laugh. Su Jinning immediately gave him a white look, but it was hard to say anything. Although fat man was a bit stingy, she wanted to buy something. Although fat man sometimes was not happy, she would buy it for her in the end.
A moment later, chuchen said with a smile: "it's too vague now. It's hard to say if it's a worm. Wait for me to polish it first..."
Chu Chen put on an angle grinder, first removed the surrounding stone bit by bit, polished it to a rough outline, and then replaced it with a hanging mill, carefully removed the remaining stone and impurities, and when it was cleaned up, the whole shape of Shuhua jade was displayed in front of everyone.
There are two small holes on the uneven trunk. The things in the small holes should be moths. Both moths don't look too big. One is ready to climb into the tree, the other is ready to climb out. The vivid action and the rolling figure make people feel very lovely.
After confirming the conjecture just now, everyone was curious. Although the tree jade is ordinary, there are insects in the tree, which is really unheard of.
Dong pangzi reached up and touched it. He was surprised and said, "this thing feels smooth and looks like jade."
"Isn't that bullshit?" Liu Sizhe said with a speechless face: "this insect must have been silicified, forming an agate like thing. Of course, it feels like a jade hand!"
Dong pangzi thought about it and thought it was the truth. He said with a smile: "I remember agate should be regarded as chalcedony, that is to say, these two of me are jade insects, and they are pure natural and have not been decorated. I think the value should not be low?"
Although the delicately carved things are beautiful, some people really like the natural and original things. The value of this kind of jade insect is really not low. Moreover, this kind of tree jade with insects is relatively rare, and rare things are more expensive. We think that maybe Dong pang can really make a lot of money this time.
Chuchen said with a smile: "fat man, they all say that I am reincarnation of Fuxing. I think you should be reincarnation of Fuxing. It's true that the gambling stone has gone up by feeling twice!"
"No! It's over! How can I compare with brother Chu! I'm just a fat blind cat
Fat Dong waved his hand repeatedly, made a funny expression and kept being modest, which made everyone laugh again.
After a while, Liu Sizhe said, "I don't remember hearing of this kind of tree jade with insects on the market. It's hard to say how much it's worth."
"Why don't we check online first?" Dong asked.
Chu Chen shook his head and said: "there are a lot of things on the Internet, but they are generally popular news, such as usually more private or partial news. If no one has mentioned it, it is generally difficult to find it."
"Besides, there are not many people in our country surfing the Internet, and many people in Jadeite antiques can't use computers, let alone surf the Internet. Even if they know how much it costs, they won't be sent to the Internet for discussion. I'd better call my cousin and ask him!"
Then Chu Chen calls Wan Zaojun. Wan Zaojun really knows this kind of tree jade with insects. In addition to its value, he also tells Chu Chen the reason for its formation.
It turns out that this kind of thing is called boat maggot. It feeds on sawdust. The reason for the formation of tree jade with insects is also very accidental. First, after the trees are buried, there must be a period of storage at the bottom of the water for the first time, so that the boat maggot can reproduce in large quantities in the wood structure and form insect bearing silicified wood. Later, in the process of deep burying, the maggots were silicified together and finally formed the tree jade with insects in front of us.
Wait for Chu Chen to hang up the phone, Dong fat man can't wait to ask: "how, brother-in-law said how much money can be worth?"
Chu Chen first explained the reason for the formation of this thing, and then said: "after all, this thing is relatively rare. If you only count insects, one hundred thousand. As for other price factors, you also need to count the quality of Shuhua jade and the number of insects. If there are many insects, the price increase will certainly be higher."
Dong pangzi was a little disappointed when he heard that there were only one hundred thousand insects. However, he turned around and thought that this kind of insect was really a fossil, and it could not be a high price. Moreover, if there were 100 insects in this section of tree jade, wouldn't there be ten million insects alone? Thinking of this, he couldn't help giggling.But Dong didn't think about it. His tree jade is only 30 centimeters high. How could there be 100 insects?
"Brother Chu, you say this thing is maggot?" Su Jinning a face disgusted of ask a way, and Chu Yulan and Wen Yuting's facial expression is also similar.
Chuchen said with a smile: "this thing is called boat maggot. It's actually a bivalve marine mollusk. It's different from ordinary maggots."
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, the third daughter felt less disgusted. But when she looked at Shuhua jade, she always felt that her hair was erect. She didn't think the two insects were cute any more.
"Fat man, you can't take it home, do you hear me?" Su Jinning carries Dong fatty's ear way.
At this time, Dong Pang is imagining that he can make a lot of money this time. When he feels that his ear hurts, he returns to God. He asks with a puzzled face: "what's the matter?"
Su Jinning did not have the good spirit of a word said: "I said you are not allowed to take this thing home!"
"Why?" Dong Pang is a little confused.
Su Jinning said loudly: "this thing is maggot, maggot! Can I have a good meal at home? "
Dong Puzi blinked his eyes and said, "I heard brother Chu say that this thing is maggot!"
"Anyway, I don't care. Who calls it maggot in its name?"
Dong chubby said with a smile: "Ning Ning, everything has been dead for tens of millions of years. What else is disgusting? Don't you just think of it as money? "
"No way!" Su Jinning a face firmly refuse a way.
Dong Puzi scratched his head in embarrassment. He said in secret, how can this woman be so sentimental!
"Well, fat man, you must sell it anyway. Let's put it here first." Chuchen shook his head and said with a smile.
Dong pangzi patted his forehead and secretly said that he was a little silly. This thing was originally intended to sell for money, and he didn't have as many channels in jade antiques as chuchen. Chuchen would certainly maximize the benefits, so he quickly agreed: "thank you, brother chuchen. As for the money, I'll wait for my jade to sell a knot!"
Previously, when he was in Lingnan, Chu Chen suggested that Liu Sizhe sell their Jadeites as ornaments in his shop. At that time, he only needs to charge some processing fees. This can deepen the relationship with his friends, increase the inventory for the shop, and at the same time, it doesn't need to pressure too much money.
Of course, all this is also because Liu Sizhe and their jadeite is not much.
Of course, everyone would not object to Chu Chen's proposal. However, they were embarrassed to ask Chu Chen Bai to help, so they decided to give Chu Chen a commission. Although it was less than selling jewelry, it was much better than selling jadeite materials, and both sides were happy.
"Brother..."
Dong fat voice just fell, next to Chu Yulan weak call a, that appearance Chu Chen instantly understand is how to return a responsibility.
Chuchen said with a smile: "well, when I get the things out, I'll put them in the store. Is this the head office?"
Next, Chu Chen devoted himself to solving the insect tree jade. Because he could not damage the insects, most of the time he could only use the hanging mill. The empty corner mill and stone remover were just used by Li Guodong and Liu Sizhe to solve the stone, which did not delay today's task.
Although this piece of tree jade is not very big, because its surface is pitted, and it can't hurt the jade insects, only one third of it was solved at lunch time, and five jade insects with different shapes were found.
This result is no doubt far from Dong pangzi's idea, which makes him feel very disappointed, and the whole person immediately seems a little unhappy. This makes Su Jinning feel very strange, but when she learned the reason, she didn't give Dong fatty five words "think money, think crazy".
At noon, everyone had a hot lunch. What Chu Yulan didn't expect during the lunch was that several vegetables fried by Ji Sao were delicious. Although they were not as good as the chefs of "eight treasures of jade", they were not so bad. This really surprised her.
But in addition to the accident, she thought that when she moved into her new house, she would be able to eat the delicious food made by Ji Sao every day. She could not help but be happy.
After dinner, Chu Chen received a call from Qiang Zhaojun, saying that next Wednesday, the jade carving master mentioned before would arrive in the capital.
"Xiao Chu, are you going to buy a house for him or rent a house for him?"
"Buy a house directly, and then sign a contract. As long as he works for me for a few years, the house will be transferred to his name."
"Well, it's also very good. You can ask me for the money of the house at that time!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly said, "Mr. Qiang, how interesting is this!"
