MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 56 Bloodstone 1
On the highway, the little Buick in Luoyang was galloping towards Lin'an, west of Zhejiang Province, where the blood stone was produced.
Passing through the provincial capital of Xihu City, the road has been passing through the mountains.
Li Xiaoshuai, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was answering the phone. The call was from Bob in the United States. He told him that the Discovery Channel had paid for the video of his regional contest for the treasure hunter, and it had started to be broadcast on the TV station.
This was told by the Treasure Pickers Association before the game. Bob also said excitedly that the TV station filmed him very well, and all the treasure pickers in New Jersey said it was good.
There is also a glorious image, Li Xiaoshuai was very interested and said that he would like to see it at night.
Luo Yang asked Li Xiaoshuai, what makes you so happy?
Li Xiaoshuai told him about the Discovery Channel, and Luo Yang was more excited than him, saying that we would watch it together at night.
The car set off in the morning and entered the territory of Lin'an. But just after lunch, Li Xiaoshuai saw that there was still some free time, so he started to turn on his mobile phone and inquired about Changhua and chicken blood stone.
Changhua is located in the west of Zhejiang Province. It is a mountainous county, adjacent to southern Anhui of Hui Province. In the 1960s, the county was withdrawn and merged into Lin'an. The famous Hui-Hang Ancient Road passed through the territory.
The famous gem of Chicken Blood Stone Rabbit has been famous since the Ming Dynasty. It is actually formed by the mutual infiltration of mercury sulfide and other minerals. It has a red color like chicken blood and a natural beauty like beautiful jade.
Soapstone is very popular in footpen country, stick country, and countries with Chinese in Southeast Asia. Antique-grade bloodstones are already high-end collections pursued by major museums.
Luo Yang also asked Li Xiaoshuai, "Are you familiar with bloodstone?"
"It's okay, I also have a collection of bloodstones at home, and I often take them out to play with."
"Then I will test you, how to taste chicken blood stone?"
"This is not difficult for me." Li Xiaoshuai opened his mouth and said that there are two main points in the tasting of chicken blood stone, one is "blood"; the other is the ground. Possibly less impurities.
The ground; that is, the foundation, the foundation should also be fine in texture, as white as jade.
"Well; yes, talking."
Li Xiaoshuai went on to say that most chicken blood stones are carved pieces, so the texture should be softer. The ones that are easy to carve are of the top grade, those with a brittle texture are of the middle grade, and those with a hard texture are of the lower grade.
Luo Yang applauded after hearing this: "It seems that you have also worked hard."
"Hey, now you're learning more from me, why did you take me to school instead?" In words, Li Xiaoshuai really couldn't beat his cousin.
In Longgang Town, the car knife, the cousins got out of the car for dinner. They all came for money, and the two of them didn't care anymore. They just found a small restaurant that looked cleaner, and they dealt with it with a bowl of noodles per person.
According to Luo Yang, who has been there once, the lower section is a mountain path, and you have to make a big circle around the mountain to reach the destination Yushan Village, and there are different cars going up.
There are family hotels in the village for foreign merchants, with complete equipment and reasonable prices.
Li Xiaoshuai also asked, what is the process of gambling stones?
"It's very simple. It's the same as your old warehouse auction in the United States. You pay on the spot at the auction, but these are all small mine owners. Big mine owners will hire people to carry the rough stones to the villages at the foot of the mountain, and hold auctions in a centralized manner. ."
After a meal, Li Xiaoshuai also knew that in Yushan Village, where they were going, there were still many dealers who bought chicken bloodstone.
After leaving Longgang, the mountains were indeed rugged. After driving for a while, they crossed a bridge over a reservoir. Luo Yang said that there were still more than ten kilometers of the road up the mountain.
Before Little Buick entered the mountain village, Li Xiaoshuai saw that there were many shops selling chicken blood stones along the road. When he arrived at Yushan Village, there were even more people coming and going, and even the street stalls were selling chicken blood stones.
It was easy to find the private hotel that Zhang Ruoxuan had booked on the computer for the two of them. The hotel turned out to be outside the town.
After Li Xiaoshuai got out of the car, he saw that the hotel was not small in size. There were thirty or forty cars parked in the parking lot. Looking at the hotel, a large four-story house is estimated to have hundreds of rooms.
There is also a sign on the eaves of the lobby, "Jewel Villa."
After setting up the accommodation, Li Xiaoshuai also saw that the entire ground floor was full of restaurants, which were very spacious, and it was estimated that it was enough for hundreds of people to eat together.
Go to the room on the third floor, open the door, there is a double room with two beds, there is a shower, TV, network cable, everything, and there is a green mountain outside the window, and the scenery is not bad.
Putting everything away, Luo Yang said, "Let's go, let's go to the town first."
As soon as he got down to the parking lot, Li Xiaoshuai saw his cousin Li Kun coming, along with his second lord accomplice Wang Jiaming, as well as two long-legged cockroaches.
**This word was taught to him by Luo Yang last night.
"Brother, Wang Gongzi, hello ladies."
After a few chats, Li Kun warned Li Xiaoshuai: "You are a layman, just come back and play and play, and try to make as few shots as possible. After losing the stone bet here, there are not a few people who jump off the building and go crazy."
"So powerful?" Li Xiaoshuai was also taken aback.
What he scares is the gambling nature of the people here, why do all their net worth jump up?
After the two groups broke up, the Li Xiaoshuai brothers both had a cigarette and walked to the town in no time.
There is only a rectal passage in the town, and both sides are serving bloodstone. The small-scale stalls are mostly old and old ladies~www.novelbuddy.com~ The larger ones are all shops. .
There is also a cutting workshop matched with bloodstone, where large and small cutting machines are lined up.
Luo Yang introduced, don't look at the deserted cutting workshop now, when the auction is over, the place will start to become lively. Some mine owners also have cutting machines in their own homes, so that impatient guests can cut them on the spot.
Going for a walk, Li Xiaoshuai also saw that there was a red paper posted on the wall of the shop, and the information on the bloodstone auction was written on it, but the date had already passed.
Along the way, Li Xiaoshuai also saw a mountain person carrying a large piece of rough stone placed on a wooden shelf, walking forward with great difficulty. This needs no introduction, he also knows that it must be sent to the mine owner's house.
"Young man, come here and take a look at my rough stone, the price is cheap." Hearing this, Li Xiaoshuai saw an old man with gray hair and a kind face sitting under a big tree not far across from him.
"Look." Li Xiaoshuai was really attracted by the old man's kind smile, he raised his foot and walked over.
Under the tree, there were two shallow plates made of wooden boards, with more than a dozen fist-sized stones in them. The old man sat on a small bench with a wooden stick (a pole) on the side.
Looking at the rough stones in the wooden plate, there are really a few with red dots on the top, and the color is very nice.
Li Xiaoshuai opened his clairvoyant eyes, and immediately understood, and looking at the old man's innocent and kind face, he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
"These are all good actors who can win an Oscar!"
