Xia Family Ancestral Hall, the name of a street in Zhongxing District, Lanjiang City.

During the Republic of China, the Xia family was the most prominent family in Lanjiang. Later, due to war, the family lost its family. The old house and ancestral hall of the Xia family were once the hallmarks of Lanjiang. It was not until the four old periods were destroyed, and most of them were destroyed. Later, the relatively well-preserved Xia family ancestral hall became the cultural heritage of the city, and the street where the Xia family ancestral hall was located was named Xia Family ancestral Street.

After entering the new century, the collection craze in China has sparked, and Xia Family Ancestral Street has gradually become the most lively antique market in Lanjiang. This is a miraculous place. When you walk here, you can often hear that the bracelets handed down by grandma sold hundreds of thousands of yuan, the plates fed by the ancestors of whose family were worth millions, and the jars that decorated the lard in the house are authentic Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain.

Almost all antique markets in China are full of such legends. As for whether this is true, it is hard to say.

These rumors of getting rich overnight attracted many citizens who had some surplus food at home to join the collection industry, and also attracted a natural Sagittarius, who was very excited.

This is a typical beginner mentality. He doesn't know anything. He gets excited when he hears those false rumors. Not only minors like Yun Mu, even many older beginners can't hold on, and they may waste their hard-earned money if they are not careful.

Compared with ordinary beginners, Yunmu has a huge advantage.

Although this guy knows nothing about antiques, he is enough to crush many experts when it comes to the identification level.

At this moment, Yun Mu found that the secret technique he mastered finally had a place to use it!

"The incomplete inkstone..."

"The imitation vase..."

In a store selling jade materials, Yun Mu kept performing appraisal techniques and enjoyed it.

Identifying antique Yunmu does not require remote posing. As long as you hold it in your hand, you can identify it.

The two went to several shops and finally stopped in a shop full of stones. Liu Ya picked up the stones one by one and watched the sunshine, and her movements were very professional. The natural Sagittarius was much calmer. According to Liu Ya's previous novice teaching, he knew that this was the legendary gambling jade.

The so-called gambling jade usually involves a long ore blank in front of the door of the jade shop. The blank may contain priceless jade, or there may be nothing. The recently popular gambling method of the Xia Family Ancestral Hall is not so primitive. The doorway does not include the ore blank. A layer is removed from the outside and upgraded from the stone blank to jade material. These jade materials generally contain jade, but the amount of jade hidden in it and the material of jade cannot be distinguished.

The jade materials in this store vary in size. Some eggs weigh a few kilograms. The prices vary, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. As for whether the buyer can get good jade from the jade materials after buying, it depends on luck.

There is currently no precision instrument in the world that can detect the amount of jade contained in the raw stone. All experts rely on the naked eye to distinguish and identify it by experience. Betting on jade is a measure of experience, not a scientific law, experience will always make mistakes, and experts also have times when they get by.

"Bad jade material..."

"The inferior jade material..."

“Medium jade…”

Moved to a smooth stone the size of a palm, Yun Mu said weakly: "Boss, how much is this?"

No matter how the boss looked, he thought Yun Mu was like a passing person who was playing with soy sauce. From his actions of playing with stones, he could tell that he was a rookie, unlike a big buyer, so the boss's attitude was not very harmonious: "Twenty thousand."

Yun Mu was indeed not a big buyer, so he put the stone back after hearing this.

At present, he still lacks a pricing standard. He is unsure whether this "medium jade material" can be worth 20,000 yuan.

Liu Ya didn't see what she liked, and left with Yun Mu. She asked on the way: "Body Protective, do you feel bored?"

Yun Mu: "No, I just feel curious, why are those jade materials casually placed at the door?"

Liu Ya smiled: "This is nothing. There is a jade trading market in Hetian called Yubaza. Many Uyghur compatriots directly put a bunch of stones there to set up street stalls, and there are also people who are pushing carts, just like selling cantaloupes."

Yun Mu: "Have you been there?"

Liu Ya: "I went there once last summer vacation. I picked up several days and finally picked two pieces of materials. One good one and the other bad ones were. It was not profitable or lost. I just thought it was a trip."

Yun Mu was fascinated by the sound of his heart. Suddenly he became a little fantasy, and a picture appeared in his mind: he and Liu Ya traveled around during the summer vacation, singing and laughing all the way...

Liu Ya opened up the conversation and taught novices while recalling the memories: "In fact, the most stingy place for gambling jade is the Tianning Temple in the south. Some make big money with small profits, and some get rid of millions of dollars. I was nervous when I saw it. Last time I went there, I was a crowd of onlookers and didn't dare to do it."

As he said that, he seemed a little embarrassed and stuck out his tongue.

Yun Mu had no fantasies this time and was in a very complicated mood.

Liu Ya is already a girl who travels around the world and is still growing up weakly in a greenhouse. Yun Mu has never left the province until now. If you want to travel around, it requires an economic foundation.

Staring at Liu Ya silently, Yun Mu's heart for making money was never as strong as it was now.

"What are you thinking?" Liu Ya reached out and shook her hand in front of him.

Yun Mu: "I'm wondering why you haven't started yet. Didn't you say that all the jade materials in this store were transported from Hotan?"

Liu Ya said cautiously: "In the transaction of Hetian jade raw materials, because of the layer of 'skin' on the outside, no one dares to guarantee the purity of the jade inside. This creates the risk of gambling jade, which can make people rich overnight and make people lose everything. Anyway, I have to be more at ease. Sister Wei said that these jade merchants hid the good materials when they went to Hotan to purchase goods. No one could say what they put out, and they would lose a lot if they were accidentally."

Yun Mu said curiously: "How do you classify purity?"

Liu Ya looked at the rookie with sympathy and explained: "There are too many grading patterns for Hetian jade. The best white jade is subdivided into mutton fat jade, white jade, and sugar white jade according to the purity. There are also green white jade, green jade, top jade, black jade, and jade... There are too many. Anyway, just remember that the mutton fat white jade is the most valuable."

After listening to Liu Ya's explanation, Yun Mu probably knew what jade was hidden in the medium-sized jade material.

The two walked to another shop again, and Liu Ya quickly fell asleep. She was very focused when appreciating the jade materials. She gradually ignored Yun Mu's existence and was completely selfless when she held the jade materials.
