Food in the Song Dynasty: My System Connects Mountains and Seas

Chapter 138
The backyard of the jade shop is huge, in Wen Shu's view, it is more than six or seven times larger than the small yard of her home.

As soon as I entered, I saw a few guys standing or sitting in the courtyard busy with work.

What told them most were two large stone ladles, which were filled with black coarse sand, and two young men were holding stone pestles to break the coarse sand inside.

A little further away were two men in their early thirties who were cutting the stones standing on the low shelf.

The low frame is somewhat like a square stool, but it is sunken in the middle, and there is a circle of guardrails on the side.At this time, there was a basin-sized stone on the low stool, and two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other, sawing the stone with a chainsaw.

A kettle was hanging from a branch above the stone, and there was a small round hole in the bottom of the kettle, from which wisps of black sand and water were flowing out and falling on the stone below.

The saw was pulled down with the black sand, and the stones were slowly separated.

From the rooms on both sides, there was the sound of grinding from time to time, and the door was closed, so it was hard to see what was going on inside.

The shopkeeper asked them to wait there, knocked on the door himself, and entered the room on the right.

After a while, he walked out with a middle-aged man in his 40s.

"Master Zhao, I'm sorry." The shopkeeper said politely to the man.

Master Zhao nodded, glanced at the stone in Wen Shu's hand, and said kindly: "Is this the one? Can you bring it to me, little lady?"

Wen Shu handed it indifferently.

Master Zhao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, then took a picture against the sun, and then smiled and said: "Brother Shan, this time I was wrong, there may be real jade here." He said hello to the two A guy who was sawing a stone said, "Stop the work in hand first, and open this stone first."

"Yes." The two men responded, hurriedly moved the stone they were sawing aside, and then put Wen Shu's stone on it.

The stone was placed on it, but because the size did not fit the low frame, the two picked up many small stones and put them next to each other until the stone would not move when shaken.

Then the two poured some water on the stone, twisted some black sand and drew a black line on the center line of the stone, and then sawed down the line made of black sand with a jigsaw.

"Crunch, crunch" followed by a piercing sound of rubbing in the courtyard, and the spectators covered their ears with frowns.

Wen Shu is no exception.

The piercing sound lasted for about half a cup of tea before it slowly subsided.As the sound subsided, a one-inch-long hole was cracked on the surface of the stone.

Seeing this, the onlookers crowded around curiously, wanting to see what was going on inside, and since the stone was cracked, the speed of cracking has also accelerated.

Although there is still the sound of "stabbing, stabbing", but at least it is not harsh.

Half an hour later, the two men pulling the saw and the spectators around exclaimed at the same time: "Ah! There is really jade, white jade!"

"Treasurer, come and see, there is really jade, it is indeed white jade, this little lady is really amazing." A guest wearing a long robe exclaimed.

Shopkeeper Shan was talking with Master Zhao outside, but he hurried over after hearing the words.

Gradually, a touch of jade color is revealed in the gray stone wall, its color is like suet, if it is not mixed with traces of blue, it would be like a fine suet white jade.

"Yeah, it's not too small. Look below, there are more and more places exposed."

"Yeah, not half of it."

"I'm afraid it's true."

The spectators were talking about each other, but Wen Shu, the person involved, had no surprises at the moment because he knew about it a long time ago. Instead, he was worried because of the system's reminder just now.

She didn't know if she was right or wrong.

Time passed slowly, and another half an hour passed.

The stone has been completely cut, and with all the cut surfaces exposed, experienced masters can estimate how much jade it contains.

Master Zhao is an expert here. After his appraisal, the jade content is almost half of what Wen Shu said before.After his identification, the quality of the jade was almost the same as the one she pointed out in the shop.

There are no identical jades in this world.

Wen Shu knew about this as early as when Xiaoxing started remote scanning.The reason why she chose that piece of jade was because the jade quality of that piece of jade was the closest to the one in her hand.

Seeing that everything she said came true, everyone present, from the spectators to the waiters to the shopkeeper, looked at Wen Shu again with shock in their eyes.

The shopkeeper even directly asked her if she had the eyes of the sky?And can you help me to see other stones in the yard.

If you can clearly explain these stones in the yard, is there any jade?What kind of jade, the size and location of the jade material can save them a lot of labor and time.

In addition, it can save a lot of materials, so as not to make a mistake in judgment, and it will be scrapped with a single knife.

Naturally, Wen Shu couldn't agree, he just said it was a guess and luck.

But the shopkeeper who has witnessed the "miracle" with his own eyes will believe it easily, and think that she is humble or arrogant and unwilling to look at it casually.

Just as he was about to offer some favors, Wen Shu said: "Now that the stone has been untied, it also proves that what I said earlier is not false, so the shopkeeper should keep his promise and buy the jade at the market price. "

"That's natural, I'll just keep what someone says." The shopkeeper was also straightforward, and immediately asked someone to pick up a sixty-peat hand.

Wen Shu checked it and confirmed that it was correct, Wei Wei thanked her and said goodbye.

"Wait a minute, little lady." Shopkeeper Shan hurriedly called her to stop: "It's okay if you don't want to watch today, little lady. If one day you're in a good mood and willing to help you watch one or two, I will reward you."

This is to show that she should not let her look in vain.

In the past, Wen Shu might not have thought about it, but now. ． ． ．
"Let's talk." She said politely, turned and left.

On the way back, she kept having an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Although it didn't seem to matter when I made the decision just now, but after I really made the decision, I became more concerned about gains and losses.Xu Shi really complied with the old saying, you don't know the value until you lose it.

When the iron box was there, she didn't feel it, but now that she learned that she couldn't enter it again for a month, she felt empty again.

Returning home full of worries, Wen Shu locked himself in the room, and suddenly his eyes were red.

She can't contact Xiao Xing anymore!

No matter how she called, Xiao Xing ignored her.

Did she really do something wrong?
Taking Jiaozi out of her arms and looking at the numbers on it, Wen Shu found that she was not as happy as she imagined.

Then she took out the iron box again, opened it in disbelief and looked, only to find that it was really closed!
There is no more white light.

The visual panel can't be adjusted either!

After thinking about it, she suddenly lay down on the table and burst into tears.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

　　Thanks to Lonely, Shuhai Yiyezhou 6658 and other old friends for their strong support.

　　Thank you for having you, compare my heart.
