"What do you mean?" Wang Ruini asked in confusion.
"If you find jadeite or other high-quality jadeite after cutting it open, you'll make a fortune, which is heaven. Otherwise, if you lose money, it's hell," Wang Ruixiang explained. He has seen many people lose everything gambling on jadeite.
"We can't see inside the stone, so we can only rely on luck!" Wang Ruini nodded.
"It's not completely invisible on the surface, but I don't quite understand it now." Wang Ruixiang said.
"Ruixiang, don't go gambling on stones. It's too dangerous," Tian Cuifang said. She didn't care about the idea of one cut to heaven, one cut to hell. She just wanted her son to be safe. She didn't care whether he had money or not.
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't gamble on stones unless I'm sure of the outcome," Wang Ruixiang said. He had seen too many failed attempts at gambling on stones, so he wouldn't blindly gamble on them.
Tian Cuifang nodded and looked at Su Jinyue, "Xiao Su, have you ever learned kung fu?" It would not be easy to smash the stool without learning kung fu.
"Yi Han taught me some simple self-defense skills." Su Jinyue said.
"Sister Su, you really scared those military wives back then," Wang Ruini said with a smile. Although she didn't see it, she could imagine the situation.
"I couldn't help it." Su Jinyue smiled. She was indeed a little angry at the time. It was just a chair. Was it necessary to escalate to violence?
After dinner, Zhan Yihan went home and brought back the two rough stones and the grinding wheel. Of course, the rough stones and the grinding wheel were placed in his storage ring by Su Jinyue in advance.
"Is this the raw stone?" Wang Ruini squatted down and looked at the two raw stones curiously. "This looks no different from the stones on the roadside. Are there jade in these two stones?" She looked at Su Jinyue and asked.
"The one with the window definitely has it, but I'm not sure about the other one." Su Jinyue said. Of course, one of the two pieces didn't have it, and she couldn't give them a simple idea of jade.
"Let me do it," Wang Ruixiang said eagerly. He had never cut a stone himself before.
Su Jinyue nodded. "The grinding machine is not easy to control. You have to be careful."
"Yeah." Wang Ruixiang nodded. He had never cut stone before, but his friend had taught him how to use a grinding machine.
Wang Ruixiang picked up one of the raw stones that had not been opened and began to polish it carefully with a grinding machine. The two stones were not very large, so even with just a grinding machine, it wouldn't take much time.
Wang Ruini watched intently from the side, occasionally helping to splash some water on the stone. She was really looking forward to seeing the jadeite emerging from the stone.
"Xiao Su, do all those jadeite and emerald come from rocks?" Tian Cuifang asked Su Jinyue. She had originally thought that jadeite and emerald were buried in the soil or dug out from the river, but she had never expected that they actually grew in the mountains and were actually dug out from rocks.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, "It has to be a stone from a specific area, otherwise it won't be worth much."
The sound of "chi chi" kept ringing in the yard, and the fist-sized raw stone gradually shrank.
Wang Ruixiang turned off the grinding machine, put down the raw stone in his hand, and sighed helplessly, "It's impossible to get this piece." Fortunately, this piece of raw stone is relatively small, otherwise it would take a lot of time to unravel it.
Wang Ruini shook her head in disappointment and looked at another piece of raw stone, "Brother, this one with a window must have one, right?" It seems that it is really not easy to cut out jadeite.
"That's right. I'll go get some water before continuing." Wang Ruixiang stood up, dusted off his body and hands, and walked into the house. Even though it was just a piece of raw stone, polishing it with a grinding machine alone was very tiring.
Wang Ruini picked up the rough stone on the ground, looked at it over and over, then looked at the untied rough stone and shook her head. She still couldn't tell the difference between this and an ordinary stone.
Wang Ruixiang walked out and squatted down, taking the raw stone from Wang Ruini's hand, "Let's continue." This time the window has been opened, so he has to be more careful to avoid damaging the jade inside.
The hissing sound was heard again, and stone chips flew everywhere.
After more than half an hour, the sound of the grinding wheel stopped.
"What a beautiful green!" Wang Ruini stared at the egg-sized jadeite in Wang Ruixiang's hand. This was the first time she saw a piece of jadeite being polished out of a stone. The feeling was really novel.
"This piece of Huaqing jadeite is characterized by its emerald green color, distributed in vein-like patterns that are extremely irregular. Its texture varies from coarse to fine, and is translucent. Its base color is light green or other colors, such as light gray or bean green. Its structure is primarily fibrous and fine- to medium-grained. Huaqing jadeite is characterized by its uneven green color, with some denser and others more sparse, and its color ranges from dark to light. There is also a type of Huaqing jadeite with a purely granular structure that lacks a watery feel. Due to its coarse structure, its transparency is often very poor. Huaqing jadeite is considered a mid-range or lower-mid-range grade," Wang Ruixiang said. He had learned this information from books, and he simply recited it. Now, he can only simply distinguish between different types of jadeite.
"Is this jade good?" Wang Ruini took the jade and looked at it with delight. She didn't know much about jade, but she thought the color of this jade was beautiful.
"Yeah." Wang Ruixiang nodded. High-grade jade is not common.
