C437 A Lost Technique
Many of the emerald-green, sparkling, and old jade jewelry were mostly produced in the four areas above. However, after hundreds of years of mining, many of the old pits above had been mined clean. It was very difficult to see the jade of these old pits now.
The more famous pits were Hpakant, Malon Bend, Bound Card, Nanqi, Tamakan, Muru and Houjiang, and so on and so forth. The jade from different pits were of different sizes, had different shells, and were of different quality.
Under Faang Yang's observation with his clairvoyance, the first piece of jade that Shea Shangfei had opened was clearly crystallized and rough. Its surface was more delicate and uniform, and it should be a good Malt curved stone.
The rough stone had a rough and rough surface, and its shell was even thinner than the ground. Its shell was thicker than the ground, and its color was more blue and white in the blue. No matter what, this piece of stone could definitely be cut up.
He did not expect that after his bad luck was changed, Shea Shangfei could still have such an outstanding performance. This proved his strength even more! In front of absolute strength, there was no need for luck at all.
However, Faang Yang did not mind. Although Shea Shangfei's strength was not bad, the first level of the Stone King was already in his hands. He was not afraid that Shea Shangfei could turn the tables.
What really interested Faang Yang was the operation technique of the Gao family. Although Faang Yang wasn't old and didn't have many chances to obtain the Gambling Stone, he had seen a lot of things.
First of all, not to mention River Song or East Sea, Faang Yang had seen many extremely generous things. They were all done with the help of modern and advanced technology and precise instruments.
But in High Ascending Prosperity, Faang Yang was fortunate enough to see a "stool" that he had not seen for a long time in the country! This was a jade cutting machine that used manual labor as a driving force.
The Gao family's Stone Cutting Master was sitting on a solid high stool. It used its feet to move the pedals, and from there, it drove the upper wheel to spin.
The millstone-sized jade was held in his hand like a toy, and was being grinded on the wheel. It had to be known that normally, small pieces of stone were used to stick together on a metal rod to be grinded.
As for a stone as large as the millstone, it absolutely needed a few people's cooperation to complete it. No matter who it was, even if there was a trace of a mistake, perhaps the entire stone would be scrapped!
Before Faang Yang could even sigh in admiration, the Stone Cutting Master had already swiftly cleaned out the outer shell. The millstone-sized stone was only the size of a watermelon.
Next, it was time for the Grindstone to shine. Unless every Stone Cutting Master had Faang Yang's clairvoyance ability, the next slash would be wrong.
The performance of the Gao family's Stone Cutting Master had broadened Fang Yang's horizons. "Amazing! This is a true inheritance! I wonder how many good things left behind by our ancestors have been lost."
Wang Qiang also shared the same feeling." Indeed, taking this stone cutting method as an example, although it is indeed energy-saving, but no matter how precise the instrument is, there will definitely be a time when it will make a mistake. A small negligence can turn a superior stone into waste.
However, these experienced Stone Cutting Masters can rely on their excellent sense of touch and consciousness to know when it's light, when it's heavy, and when to stop. This is something that machines will never be able to replace."
Gu Xiaosong knew that Faang Yang was not the kind of person who put on airs, so he was more relaxed by his side.
"Indeed, many of the ancient techniques here have to be preserved. In the past few years, because a good piece of jade was opened and made into a jade pendant, I saw another technique with my own eyes, bamboo shearing."
Faang Yang was more interested in these and asked, "What do you mean by bamboo shearing?"
Wang Qiang explained at the side, "As long as it is good materials from those old brands, the store can directly process the finished product for you.
Take Gao family as an example. They would never use any advanced technology, and would completely follow the inheritance of the older generation. In their opinion, the jade is a Holy Object. After being contaminated by the machine, it will emit spiritual energy.
After the jade was formed, the polishing and polishing procedures that had to be carried out would also be used to polish the jade.
Usually, two basins, one big and one small, would be prepared. The big basin would be filled with clear water, and the small basin would be filled with extremely fine sand.
First, the jade that is about to be polished will be dipped in fine sand. Then, you will place it on the bamboo board in the water and grind it repeatedly. This is also a type of craftsmanship that can't be seen in the country!"
When he thought of the Stone Gambling City in Jiangbei, Faang Yang's heart moved. He said to Wang Qiang, "You should be careful and see if you can dig a few skilled experts from here to go to Jiangbei. The treatment is good, but you have to be in charge of training new people!"
When Wang Qiang heard Faang Yang say that he wanted to find skilled people to go to Jiangbei, he immediately understood what he meant. "People should be able to find them, but people in the country are used to the fast pace. I'm afraid this kind of old-fashioned operation.
And it was very difficult to find people from ordinary major powers. The so-called familiar person is definitely not at the level of the Gao family. Not only is it slow, but there will also be a very high probability of failure. I'm afraid it won't be popular, right? "
" No, no, no. If you think that way, then you are gravely mistaken. " Faang Yang said confidently.
"Those who like to play with jade or know how to play with jade, who are they? Is there such a condition for beggars to carry the pier?
Therefore, those who know how to play do not care about time. What they care about is being different from others. What they care about is the process!
Slow, that meant there was an additional process of waiting, wasn't it? As for the error rate, would the machine's failure rate be lower?
If you really don't have confidence, then we can prepare two plans, machinery and labor. Each customer can choose one out of two. When the time comes, you'll know how popular it will be."
After a pause, Faang Yang continued," Of course, in order to avoid conflict, we can sign an exempt document before cutting the stone.
This way, even if we cut it to waste, at most we can pay for the stone. I believe that even if we can afford to play, we won't really refuse to let go. "
Wang Qiang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to really work." Then let's give it a try first? Later, I will ask the people here to help me find a few and give them a try? "
Faang Yang said, "Yes, let's do it. I am a major shareholder. I am not afraid. What are you afraid of? Even if I lose money, it will still be my money. Brother is lacking in everything right now, but I'm not lacking in money! "
Wang Qiang could not help but roll his eyes at him." Do you know how badly you deserve to be beaten up now? Oh, I am out of the fog!"
Under the skillful control of the Gao family's Stone Cutting Master, a window was opened in just a few moments. Immediately, a bright green color was exposed in the raw material. It was crystal clear and emitted a dazzling luster.
"It can't be, right? It turned green in just a few seconds? It can't be full of jade, right? It's definitely going to increase!" Cries of surprise came from the crowd.
Shea Shangfei also turned his head to look at them. His expression was gloomy and ugly. When the people beside him saw this, they deliberately shouted out loudly, ___!" Humph, but it's only a window. Who knows if it's really full of greenery? When the time comes to prove that it is a waste, let's see what else you will be proud of!"
Before Wang Qiang could say anything, Shea Shangfei slapped him. "Shut up! What a disgrace! If you have any more questions, get the hell back to Sheep City!"
As the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know whether it is true or not. With just a glance, Shea Shangfei knew that this piece of land would definitely produce good goods. As for the price, it would depend on the final price.
However, even though they were arguing here, the Stone Cutting Master was not affected in the slightest. In his eyes, there seemed to only be unfinished stone.
