“It’s going up, it’s going up!”
"Is this really what I'm going to do?"
The oblique cut, like the previous two cuts, just exposed the jade flesh without damaging it at all.
"Hiss! Is she really good at this?"
"Awesome! Is this luck or strength? How can you keep getting the cut right?"
"Sixth Brother, I told you that you underestimated that girl, didn't I? Look how accurate the cut is!"
"It's floating flowers! Do you want to continue cutting?"
Facing the discussions of the people around him, Yan Yueqing remained calm and drew two lines on the stone: "Cut from here."
Master Chen believed her words without a doubt. After drawing a simple line, he went straight to the machine.
"What do these two knives mean? Why don't I understand?"
"Does she want to cut a square?"
"Oh my god! It's cut out! It's jade meat again?!"
"Or is it floating flowers? It's changed from green to blue! This color is so beautiful!"
Master Chen has been cutting stones for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered an employer who makes such a wise decision!
He quickly handed the stone over, like a child excitedly waiting for a task from the teacher: "Ms. Yan, how do you cut it next?"
Yan Yueqing took it and stood the stone upright: "Here and here, make two more cuts."
"Hiss - does she mean to cut it cross-sectionally? I suddenly have a bold idea?!"
"First cut out a rough square shape, then turn it over and cut the horizontal surface. Does she want to cut it directly into small boards to make a bracelet?!"
"Don't tell me, don't tell me! If the blue-green color is very deep and there is a large area inside, you can really take out a bracelet."
"This stone is not big, unlike the big board that is convenient for taking out. It's hard to make a bracelet out of it, let alone cut it like this? I see the lines the little girl drew. Unless the jade flesh grows very well inside, cracks and lines will affect the quality of the bracelet!"
Everyone once again began to doubt Yan Yueqing's judgment.
After all, in the jade world, the most expensive jewelry is the bracelet!
But bracelets are not easy to sell. If there are cotton, cracks or lines on them, even a little bit longer will reduce the value of the whole bracelet.
Many skilled craftsmen will remove small flaws by chamfering and other methods to ensure the perfection of the jade. It can be said that before a piece of jade is unearthed, whether it is in the stone or cut into a board, there are many uncertainties.
When choosing raw materials, we can only try to avoid those defects that will cause headaches...
However, the stone that Yan Yueqing chose was exactly the size of an adult's fist. Even if it was cut well, it could only be made into the size of a bracelet.
Before it is cut open, who knows what is inside?
If after one cut, the floating flower color no longer penetrates into the stone, and it becomes a white piece of stone, then you will lose a lot!
Therefore, many people who gamble on stones, after opening the window and seeing the color and water quality, will consider whether to sell it directly to others and take the risk, or be ruthless and cut it themselves!
One knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, one knife makes you live in a villa, and one knife makes you wear linen pants.
Every knife has infinite possibilities!
It was obvious that everyone was not optimistic about Yan Yueqing's decision.
However, after all, it is someone else's own stone. No matter whether the price goes up or down, they can only watch the fun.
Master Chen has already excitedly placed the stone on the machine.
Compared with his previous cautiousness, he can now cut stones quickly and accurately, and he doesn't hesitate at all after aiming!
With one cut, beautiful and charming floating flowers come into view.
"Damn! This stone has a thin skin but a huge filling! Is the floating flower so full?"
"It's so beautiful! Just waiting for another cut. If it's still soaked in color, it will go up in value!"
"How much is this stone?"
"I asked yesterday, 10,000 yuan! I thought about it at the time and didn't want to spend the effort on such a small stone, but in the end this little girl won the bet?!"
“The second knife is coming out!!!”
"Fuck... is it really full of flowers?!!!!!!!!!"
After two cuts, Chen handed a small board slightly larger than his palm to Yan Yueqing, his eyes full of admiration and surprise: "Miss Yan, the cut is bigger!"
The five cuts arranged by Yan Yueqing cut out the shape of the jade at the fastest speed.
Every cut was like working under a scanner, accurately avoiding the grayish-white stone and cutting it into the most perfect shape.
This action made everyone present shut up!
No one dared to voice any more doubts.
"Full of floating flowers, ice type! This piece has increased in value!"
"There are a lot of green floating flowers, but not many blue floating flowers have been produced in the past two years! This piece has a perfect blend of colors, and the transition between blue and green is natural and warm. Even if I can only get a small-sized bracelet, it can still sell for millions!"
"That's amazing! Isn't this faster than running around the casino to make money?"
"I wonder what will come out of these stones next? I'm actually looking forward to it!"
"I also!"
So, under everyone's expectations, Master Chen was full of energy and followed Yan Yueqing's instructions, cutting a piece of stone in just a few strokes.
"Floating flowers again! Although this piece is not icy, the material is large! After cutting it open, you can take out one or two bracelets, and you can also take out the brand!"
"Wow, this is the bean variety, right? Even though it's the least valuable, it's close to the quality of ice beans."
"In our jade industry, anything that has anything to do with ice will see its price go up!"
"This piece of glutinous ice jade is so smooth and bright! The color is a bit purple, and it can be made into jewelry and increase its value!"
Master Chen cut nearly 40 stones in a row, 31 of which were pure gems, and the rest contained more or less jade, ranging from bean-type to ice-type!
A rough calculation shows that the price is close to three million!
More and more people gathered around, and the sound of admiration continued.
Master Chen cut more and more vigorously as he worked like clockwork: "Ms. Yan, please select the next batch of stones!"
Yan Yueqing looked down at the time and said, "Let's not cut the rest for now."
"ah?"
Not only was Master Chen stunned, but even the onlookers felt that it was not satisfying enough!
How come the joy of cutting stones disappears halfway through?
Yan Yueqing smiled and said, "The boulder auction is about to begin. We'll find time to solve the remaining stones."
Old Chen reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the stone, hesitated for a moment, and asked shamelessly: "Miss Yan... the remaining stone... can I help you solve it?"
"Of course." Yan Yueqing agreed quickly, "I can't find a better master than you~"
These words made Master Chen feel relieved: "Great! Then I'll make time for you. I'll be there whenever you need me!"
For some reason, he always felt that there would be something in this batch of materials that would make his eyes light up!
Doesn't every stone cutter want to get the best jade from his hands? !
Maybe he can realize his dream among these stones!
Everyone felt a little disappointed when they heard Yan Yueqing say that they would not cut stones anymore. However, thinking that the highlight of the day was the buying and selling of boulders, they became interested again.
The topic turned to the boulder.
