Chapter 28 Reflection

  Wax shell skin refers to a layer on the skin that resembles wax, with a glossy appearance and a black luster. If this layer of wax shell skin is not wiped away, it is difficult to observe the texture of the meat, and there are often more fine cracks under the wax shell skin, and the flesh is relatively tender.

  The black tungsten sand of the wax shell skin, especially this piece of wax shell skin seen by Chu Chen without sand skin, is a relatively less gambled variety in the black tungsten sand, so it was placed here and no one asked.

  Although there are so many good wool products, nearly half of the wool products have no reaction at all, which means that even a little bit of value jade is not available in these wool products. The other half, where the quality is good or bad, cannot be known, but the internal situation may also be not optimistic.

  This scene made Chu Chen involuntarily sigh again. This line of work, gambling on stones, really lives up to the saying "ten gambles, nine losses".

  Next, after a careful selection, Chu Chen chose two relatively satisfactory whole materials, but one of them made him feel difficult to give up.

  This is a piece of material from the Mo'ercun mining area, weighing around 10 kilograms. The mine was opened in the 1970s and is known for producing black wolfram sand. The piece Chuanchuan has is also black wolfram sand.

  Hei Wussha is so famous because this wool can produce high-quality jadeite at a very high rate, which is deeply loved by people. However, there is one thing, once this wool is broken, it's completely broken, so people also have mixed feelings about it. Among them, the Heiwusha in Laopai and Nanqi areas are the easiest to break.

  Actually, for the new scene area's wool, Chu Chen generally kept a distance because the quality of the jadeite was not ideal, but he hesitated with this piece of wool. This is because although the original stone had some flaws, they were all sleeping flaws, and when a strong light flashlight was shone on the wool, the green head was still good, looking quite moist.

  Moth is the existence of various sizes, shapes and colors of black, gray, light gray wind erosion marks on the skin of jade wool fabrics.

  Generally speaking, jade with inclusions is more valuable, but the type of inclusion must be identified to determine its value. Sleep inclusions are usually superficial and do not affect the quality of the jade, while straight inclusions (such as black spots resembling nails) can penetrate deep into the jade and affect its quality.

  This piece of rough stone, with its black tungsten sand and psoriasis, is no wonder that it moved Chu Chen's heart. However, he suddenly noticed a detail and quickly took a closer look with a magnifying glass. Upon examination, he found that some areas of the psoriasis looked more like ringworm, which greatly increased the variability of this raw stone.

  Chu Chen thought for a moment, still feeling that the risk of this black tungsten sand was too great. Considering the material from Mo Wanji's base area, the water head is generally relatively short, which means that the value of the jadeite excavated may not be much different from the price of the raw material, so in the end, he put it aside.

  There is also a piece of yellow sand skin material that Chu Chen likes, although there are also scabies on the body. After careful observation by Chu Chen, there is a scar in the middle of the scabies, similar to an abscess. This is called dry scabies, which generally does not cause much damage to the original stone. As for why he is so particular about this piece of material, it's also because it has a beautiful white python pattern on its body.

  Mottled pattern, in simple terms, on a piece of fur, suddenly appeared a strip or a piece, even wrapped around half a stone of different sand grain arrangement of the epidermis. It's a bit like being pressed or ironed out, a new "pattern" that appears, called mottled pattern.

  Agate pattern is one of the main bases for gamblers to judge whether there are colors or no colors, and the color depth inside the jade stone by its appearance.

  The white python pattern is also known as the white python, and it's generally called the white python. The white python in Chu Chen's fabric is grayish-white, which makes it highly likely to be a rare and valuable find. With his keen eye for spotting such patterns, it's no surprise that he was able to pick it out.

  If Chu Chen hadn't had the ability, he would have gone straight to the checkout counter with such good wool, but since he had the ability, it wouldn't be reassuring if he didn't inspect it. Who made this a gamble? However, he believed that this piece of wool, even if it didn't rise much, was still very stable.

  But the result was a cold shower for him, this piece of wool fabric was priced at 1.5 million, even if it could be discounted, but at least 1 million would definitely be required, but the ability display showed that the value of the jade inside was only around 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

  This result was like a slap in the face for Chu Chen, making him wonder if his eyesight was really that bad.

  This is not right! There must be something wrong with this piece of fabric that I haven't discovered yet!

  Chu Chen perked up his spirits and used a magnifying glass and flashlight to carefully observe it twice. Afterwards, he shook his head and let out a bitter laugh.

  It turns out that this piece of fabric not only has dry eczema, but also some grayish-white eczema scattered about, which just happened to be mixed in with the white spots. At the time, I didn't carefully observe it because of the white spots, so I made a misjudgment. In the end, it's all my own carelessness that led to this mistake, really shouldn't have happened.

  It's also possible that if this piece of fabric had looked as it did before, would they have left it here for him to choose from?

  If it weren't for the help of the special ability, Chu Quan would have rushed to solve the puzzle with great enthusiasm, and the final result would undoubtedly have a huge impact on him, making him doubt his own eyesight, and at worst, causing him to lose confidence, which is precisely what is most needed and crucial in this line of work.

  Chu Chen stood up with a wry smile, feeling grateful for his special ability while noticing Liu Zhiqing carefully selecting wool in the thousand-yuan zone. Seeing how serious and meticulous he was, Chu Chen thought about Liu's past experiences and suddenly felt that there were many things he still needed to learn.

  He thought to himself, this ability is not omnipotent after all. What if it suddenly disappears like its sudden appearance? If he doesn't have the corresponding knowledge, what should he do? As an old saying goes, relying on oneself is better than relying on others. With rich knowledge, even without this ability, one can still live a fulfilling life.

  These days, because of the reliance on psychic powers, even studying has not been as diligent as before. Now that I think about it, this is really not right. On the contrary, since having acquired the ability to memorize at a glance, one should strive even harder in their studies. Moreover, being able to access the internet now means that there are endless resources available online, making it even more convenient for oneself to learn.

  Yesterday's reflection in the morning and now, Chu Chen's help is undoubtedly huge. Yesterday's reflection cut off his ideological shackles, and now he has a positive attitude towards himself. These two reflections have undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for his rich and colorful collection career in the future.

  Having figured this out, Chu Chen didn't want to stay in the ten-thousand-yuan district anymore. He felt that with his current level, it would be better for him to go to the thousand-yuan district instead. Although the value of the materials there was not as high as those here, they were more comprehensive and just right for a gambler like him who had some foundation to study.

  Later in the thousand-yuan district, Chuyan was no longer as superficial as before. He spent nearly half an hour selecting, carefully observing every piece of wool fabric he touched, and making judgments based on his past experience.

  If the ability doesn't react, then judge why it's placed in this thousand-yuan district. If the ability reacts, then judge whether it will rise or fall, and if it rises, what kind of quality the jadeite will be.

  With such a purposeful observation, Chu Chen felt that the accumulation of experience in this half hour was at least two to three times faster than learning for the same amount of time in the past, which made him feel very satisfied.

  He took a look at the time and it was almost 10 o'clock. If he wanted to make some progress in the morning, he had to speed up. Of course, Chu Chen would not be careless because of speed, so he carefully observed a piece of grey sand velvet material that weighed about eight kilograms.

  The celadon-green jadeite rough stone has a good quality, at first glance it's not bad, the special feature is that it has a reaction to the testing tool, indicating that there is jade inside, and on its surface there are shapes like pine needles, this kind of pine needle is called "mao zhen song hua".

  Just mentioned that the python pattern is one of the important bases for guessing the color of the gambler, and another important basis is the pine flower. The pine flower is a residual manifestation of the green inside the jade on the weathered skin shell, with varying degrees of density and size, and different shapes. Among the players, there is a common saying about the pine flower, which is "the greener the fresher the better".

  The woolen fabric with a loose weave and fluffy texture is prone to hiding green and full green, of course, if that's all, it wouldn't be placed in the thousand-yuan range either. Indeed, when Chu Chen flipped it over, there was a piece of green on the back.

  Some people may ask, isn't it better this way?

  In the jade market, there is a saying "rather buy one line, don't buy one piece". The color of the piece is very easy to be skin-running burst flower, generally very thin. While the linear green band is easier to penetrate into the interior, so some people summarize, "piece color like paper, line color sink".

  Let's not mention the green color for now, the key is that there are ringworms mixed in with the green, and they're the kind of ringworms that like to run with the green, how can this be gambled on?

  As for why it's still in the thousand-yuan range, first of all, it's because it's a heavy 8kg grey sandalwood material, and secondly, it's also because the wool needle is loose. Chu Chen guessed that the price shouldn't be expensive, and indeed, it was only 1200 yuan, which means everyone generally doesn't think highly of this wool material.

  Although the wool fabric was behaving like this, Chu Chen still followed his previous method and carefully observed the wool fabric. This look made him vaguely see a faint snake line, and after careful identification, there really was a faint one-line python on the edge of the pine flower.

  "This is the best and worst performance, how can they be together? Is this piece of fabric made from two pieces of fabric sewn together?" Chu Chen thought to himself with a smile.

  "Wait!"

  Chu Chen suddenly furrowed his brow, this piece of fabric was probably not fake, but it was very likely to be relying on the green leather. It was possible that the fly speck was just stuck to the green leather. Thinking of this, Chu Chen, although reluctant to use up the last of his special ability, still decisively used it on this piece of fabric.
