Zhang Feng listened to Lao Ding's self mockery, smiled and said, "for example, parasitic in beautiful paradise? That's a good place. A man can't wait to live there every day. You'll be satisfied."

Lao must have never thought that Zhang Feng suddenly mentioned beauty paradise and paused. He looked a little surprised, but he immediately reacted. It seems that Zhang Feng has been to beauty paradise and returned to normal. He said: "beauty paradise has been open for ten years. I stayed there ten years ago. To say, those women occupied my territory."

Zhang Feng knew that the relationship between laoding and Lishe paradise must be unusual. Sure enough, laoding has always lived there.

Lao Ding then asked Zhang Feng to move the white jade to a relatively open floor, and a blanket was placed between the floor and the jade.

Everything was ready. At this time, there was a sound of "zizizi..." on the desk. Zhang Feng looked at it. The iron began to generate heat. Lao Ding also put on rubber gloves and was ready to pick up the iron. Zhang Feng also stood up and walked to the desk to look carefully. He wanted to know how to turn a new jade into a descendant jade.

Lao Ding picked up the pot of boiling strong tea and came to the jade. He was still shaking the pot of strong tea in his hand, as if he wanted to stir the tea evenly, while explaining to Zhang Feng: "In fact, it's not just the jade industry that can do such tricks. I think you've heard that those forged age letters are almost the same principle. Tea stains can be slightly transformed into stains accumulated over the years."

Then Lao Ding poured the strong tea evenly onto the jade and continued, "but paper letters are different from jade. Letters can absorb the tea stains of strong tea, and then integrate them into the paper. When the tea is dry, they can be treated slightly. The tea stains look like the traces left by the age. They are very realistic."

As Lao Ding said, Zhang Feng always watched Lao Ding's actions. Of course, his words stopped in his ears, but Zhang Feng had something he didn't understand. Of course, he had heard such a small trick as the aging of paper. Because the tea stains are basically the same as the stains accumulated in letters over a long time, it's easy and simple to forge.

But jade and paper are basically different. Just say that paper has water absorption and low density, so water molecules can be integrated into the paper. This is common sense. It's nothing strange, so we have the opportunity to fake tea stains into stains.

But what about jade? Jade has so much density, and its surface is smooth. There is no leakage at all. Let alone let the strong tea go into the jade. Even if the jade is soaked in a jar of strong tea for one night, it is impossible for a drop of tea to be penetrated.

Therefore, the same method should not be applied to jade. Moreover, the processing method of letters is obviously different from jade. The tea stains penetrated by paper will be displayed on the surface, which is only the aging effect of letters.

Even if Lao Ding really has a way to infiltrate the tea stains into the jade, can he make this white jade a descendant jade with a long history? How is it possible? Zhang Feng has never heard of any jade with tea stains.

Zhang Feng is nervous and looking forward to it now. For a moment, Zhang Feng feels that Lao must be insane? He just wants to destroy it! But since he trusts him, let's look at the next situation first. There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need to doubt people.

Lao Ding said what he had said before, and he stopped talking. The strong tea poured on the jade just now was only a small part. However, because the jade surface was smooth, there was no first tea in the jade, or even stuck outside, which was expected by Zhang Feng and Lao Ding.

Lao Ding stopped pouring tea and looked around the jade. Finally, he seemed to find nothing unusual, but he didn't continue to pour tea. Instead, he put the strong tea aside and continued to look for things in the locker. He didn't know what he was looking for.

Zhang Feng ignored Lao Ding's actions. He was still wondering what the use of this pot of strong tea was. He looked at it several times before and after. He couldn't see any changes in jade at all. He was even more confused. Could a pot of tea really turn a new jade into an ancient jade?

Not long after, Lao Ding came again with a brush in his hand, which is not exactly a brush, because it seems that the hair layer outside the brush in Lao Ding's hand looks very soft.

In Zhang Feng's puzzled eyes, Lao Ding took the brush in his hand and put something into the strong tea, which looked like medicinal powder. Then he shook the strong tea to make the medicinal powder and strong tea shake evenly.

Then he poured the strong tea on the brush, went back to the jade, and was sprinkled a little on the jade. Then Lao Ding rubbed the jade with a brush and wiped it all over like cleaning the jade.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng suddenly realized what he suddenly understood and how to see whether the age of jade is a new jade or an ancient jade. In fact, there are disputes in the industry. Some people say that they can know the year of jade excavation by relying on professional detection instruments and taking a little jade quality.

Some people say that it can be seen directly from the surface. Because the jade handed down by the family is very popular with the people who keep the jade, they will certainly clean it up more and don't want the jade to be stained with a little dirt. Because the jade handed down by the family must have been touched and cleaned countless times, and the surface will be smoother than ordinary jade.

This is the most common way to identify new jade and ancient jade. No matter how complete the new jade is, it is always buried with stone. The surface layer of jade will inevitably be assimilated by stone. Therefore, even if it is not visible on the surface, the surface layer of jade is slightly rough. After years of cleaning and long-term oxidation consumption, the layer of impurities in ancient jade has long been removed.

Of course, jade is jade after all. In fact, you can't see this subtle difference only by human naked eyes, but there are ways to identify whether this layer of jade is new, such as scientific instruments and microscopes.

This is an extremely unprofessional, but extremely scientific method. Everything under the microscope has nothing to hide, so it is naturally clear. Professional appraisers will adopt more professional methods, but no matter which method, the final purpose is only to find out the new jade and ancient jade and see if the buyer has been cheated.

Therefore, Zhang Feng's jade will be found out as long as it is checked by people who know a little about jade. It is not an ancient jade at all, but a newly unearthed new jade. Now what Lao Ding does is to make it difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Zhang Feng finally figured out Lao Ding's move. He wanted to pour strong tea on the white jade and rub the jade with a brush. In fact, he had only one purpose, that is, to wipe off the rough jade on the surface of the umbrella!

Although it is impossible in common sense, how dense jade is! How is it possible to rub away with three or two times of friction? This is the same truth as water dripping through stone. Only after time honing and slowly killing the impurities on the surface can they be cleaned up and water droplets can wear through the stone.

But Lao Ding used a special method, that is, the pot of strong tea! Strong tea is rich in alkaline elements, which are corrosive, but generally the alkalinity in tea is not large, which is far from the degree of corrosion, otherwise people don't have to drink tea.

But when Lao Ding was poured on the jade and brush by strong tea for the second time, he added some powder, Zhang Feng thought, but it was the powder added by Lao ding that promoted the alkalinity in the strong tea, so as to achieve the effect of corrosion.

Zhang Feng thought of this possibility, and the jade squatted next to the jade like Lao Ding. It turned out that he looked closer and knew that the thick tea had changed. There was a layer of floating objects like rust floating on the surface of the tea, like tea after several nights. Tea embroidery had been raised. At that time, the alkalinity of the tea was the strongest.

Zhang Feng had never seen this method, or even heard of it. He felt incredible and novel. He said, "is alkali used to corrode the homogeneous layer? Although it is a little immoral, it is indeed practical."

Zhang Feng understood Lao Ding's method and felt that the plan to double the value of white jade would work. After all, the easiest way to identify whether jade is new or old is to use a microscope or rely on the experience of an appraiser. In addition, take a little jade to a professional organization for identification.

Now the old method has escaped the first two identification methods, and as for the third one, it doesn't need to be managed at all. After all, very few people will choose the third method. Although rich people are rich, they don't burn money as firewood every day. It's not easy to buy a piece of precious jade. Who will cut a piece of jade for identification!

Lao Ding saw Zhang Feng's face full of praise after he understood his way. He was happy and had a sense of pride.

Lao Ding said, "when I quit the organization at that time, I promised the master not to do these immoral things from now on. Did you force me to do it this time? Otherwise I can't explain! "

Zhang Feng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Lao Ding's words. The old man was really a treasure. Obviously, he was open to money and broke the ring. He was stunned to let him carry the pot, but Zhang Feng didn't care. This time, he came right. He could not only sell the jade at a high price, but also learned knowledge he had never known before.

Zhang Feng said with a smile, "you old fox, you don't do immoral things, but you keep your tools on you!"

Zhang Feng remembered that Lao must not be a long-term worker here, but came to the blue whale Club temporarily to be a treasure appraiser, so he brought all these tools himself. He obviously carried them with him. It is estimated that he doesn't think about how to do immoral things all day.

The old fox Lao Ding laughed twice and said, "maybe it is. I always take my tools with me just to wait for you, an immoral person, to do immoral things with me."

Zhang Feng and Lao Ding are joking. They talk very well. They don't look like people they just met. Maybe this is called congenial interest.

After a while, while chatting and working, Lao Ding cleaned all the jade. The surface of the jade didn't seem to change. It was still the white jade. People who didn't know it must just think that Lao Ding cleaned the jade without doing anything.

But just look at Lao Ding's hand, they will know that it is not simple. Lao Ding's hand was originally one covered with calluses. Now the calluses are almost corroded. The whole palm looks like the rotten skin soaked in the water for more than ten hours, which is terrible and disgusting.

Zhang Feng felt that if laoding's hand cocoon was not thick enough, the alkalinity would probably directly corrode into the flesh and blood. In order to better feel whether the jade surface is rubbed evenly, you can't wear gloves. You can only wipe it directly by hand, and you will inevitably be exposed to alkaline water.

Zhang Feng couldn't help feeling that it was really immoral!
