God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 133

Although Tianhuangshi is a stone, its physical properties are close to that of gemstones. It is generally translucent, and sometimes its transparency can even be compared with that of glass. Not only that, its color is also very beautiful, a bit similar to pearls or agates. The ones shone like glass.

Of course, not only is the light and color good, but the most important thing is that the texture of Tianhuang stone is extremely fine and the hardness is not very high, which is very suitable for engraving seals.

In addition, the bright yellow color of Tianhuang stone and the fine radish pattern inside the stone are also attractive to people.

Another reason why Tian Huangshi is highly sought after is the love of the emperor and the royal family, because Tian Huangshi has the meaning of "blessing", "shou", "tian" and "yellow", and has the characteristics of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm and imprinted stone. The Six Virtues, known as the "Emperor Stone", became the national stone dedicated to offering sacrifices to heaven in the Qing Dynasty.According to historical records, the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty used a whole piece of top-grade field yellow stone to carve the "three chain seals" and enshrined it to Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong regarded it as a treasure and passed it down from generation to generation in the Qing Dynasty; Give Cixi Fangtian Huang Yuxi; when the last Puyi disintegrated in the Qing court, he didn't care about other treasures, but sewed the "three chain badges" into the cotton coat.

Because of these deeds, Tian Huangshi not only greatly increased his fame in ancient times, but in modern times, his value has soared.

However, Tianhuang stone is only a stone produced in a mine of Shoushan stone, and Shoushan stone has other colors.According to the division of modern gems and colored stones, Shoushan stone belongs to the subcategory of colored stones. Its species and stone names are very complicated, and there are more than 100 varieties.

However, according to traditional customs, the general category of Shoushan Stone can be divided into three categories: "Tiankeng", "Shuikeng" and "Shankeng".

Among them, there are "Tian Huangshi", "Baitian Stone", "Hongtian Stone", "Siping Tianshi" and other types in Tiankeng; because the water hole is mainly made of diameter frozen stone, the quality is the best, and the output is very small. Now the water hole Shoushan Stone on the market Most of them are stock from the past, and the main varieties are crystal jelly, yellow jelly, sky blue jelly, fish brain jelly, ox horn jelly, eel jelly, ring jelly, pit head jelly and digging pit head, etc.

Now the most prolific pits of Shoushan stones on the market are classified by color, such as red alpine, white alpine, yellow alpine, shrimp back green, exquisite color alpine, etc.; Jelly, alpine ring jelly, alpine crystal, digging alpine, alpine peach blossom jelly, alpine horn jelly, alpine fish brain jelly, alpine fish scale jelly, etc.; of course, there are also names of people or mines, but that is not very representative Sex, so not very commonly used.

Xu Jingxing didn't know much about these, it was introduced by old man He.

According to Mr. He's description, although Mr. Zhu's piece is made of mountain pit material, it is a relatively precious and delicate alpine material.

The so-called clever color alpine material refers to a stone with two or more colors. This material is the most popular in the market, and the price is also the highest. The more colors and the better the appearance, the more valuable it is.

What can make old man Zhu cherish so much is naturally the best material.

Xu Jingxing looked at the photo taken by the old man Zhu, it was indeed beautiful, a large piece of material was composed of white, red and yellow, the texture was very delicate, it looked good at first glance, almost no impurities could be seen, so I took out one color alone It's a treasure. The combination of the three colors is naturally more valuable.

"Can you carve?" Old man Zhu asked Xu Jingxing expectantly.

Xu Jingxing thought for a while before nodding, "No problem. Of course, according to my habit, I will make a design drawing for you to review before using the knife. I will only do it if you have no objections."

"It's good, it's good, it's safe," old man Zhu was even more satisfied. To be honest, he was still a little uneasy about Xu Jingxing's craftsmanship. After all, Xu Jingxing was really too young. Although he looked good in craftsmanship, his experience was definitely not as good as that of the old masters. foot.At this time, seeing that Xu Jingxing was very thoughtful, he felt relieved, "Then when will I go to see the material?"

Xu Jingxing originally wanted to say that he could do it anytime, but suddenly thought of Xu Zhikang's reply and shook his head, "I still have a job on hand, and it will take about half a month, or I will contact you when the time comes?"

Old man Zhu rolled his big eyes and asked, "What job?"

"Build a set of furniture for me," Xu Jingxing said directly, since there was nothing to hide.

"You can also make furniture? That's not the same as sculpture," said old man Zhu, who was even more surprised.

"There is one truth for everything, and what people value is my carving skills," Xu Jingxing explained with a smile.

"So, it's still high-end furniture? Can I follow along? I haven't seen how high-end furniture is made," old man Zhu asked enthusiastically.

Xu Jingxing nodded, but he knew in his heart that old man Zhu wanted to inspect his craftsmanship for himself.But there is nothing shady about his craftsmanship, anyone who likes to watch it can watch it, as long as it doesn't affect his work.Besides, old man Zhu is his next customer. If old man Zhu is satisfied, he might get tens of thousands more wages.

While talking, Xu Zhikang called and told him that everything was ready and asked when he would start work.

Xu Jingxing replied, "I can do it right away." After hanging up the phone, he shrugged his shoulders at Old Man Zhu, "Uncle Zhu, I'm going to work now, do you want to go watch now?"

"Go," old man Zhu was really straightforward, and he pulled old man He along as he spoke, "Old He, you come with me too."

"Okay, let's go together, and I will also see the craftsmanship of high-end furniture."

Naturally, Xu Jingxing would not refuse. After going out, he asked the two old men, "How did you two get here?"

"Run."

"walk."

The two old men answered in unison.

Xu Jingxing smiled and said, "That's just right, I'll be the driver for you two, this way please."

The two old men were not pretentious, and sat directly in the back row. Old man Zhu touched the leather seat in the car with envy and said, "It's a good car, it costs a lot of money, right?"

Xu Jingxing shook his head, "I don't know how much it is. I borrowed someone else's car to drive for two days." He said with a smile, "Uncle Zhu, with your wealth, no matter how good the car is, you can afford it, right?"

"No, I'm poor, and my son only dares to buy an ordinary Volkswagen when he gets married," Old Man Zhu waved his hand quickly.

"You are too modest. If nothing else, that piece of Shoushan Stone is worth a lot of money. If you sell it, you can at least exchange it for two or three Phaetons."

"Phaeton? What kind of car?" Old man Zhu looked bewildered.

Xu Jingxing coughed and explained: "It's also a brand of Volkswagen, but it's very expensive. The high-end ones cost more than 100 million."
