Seeing Zhang Tianyuan appear, Liu Jinglin had a bright smile on his face, although he was still happy to have fun here, but after all, he couldn't forget about business, since Zhang Tianyuan appeared, the things he was looking forward to also had some eyebrows.

"Dad, Master Liu, what are you talking about, so happy?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.

"I didn't say anything, it's just nonsense, Master Liu has been waiting for you here for a long time, let's talk, I'm going to get busy." Zhang Tianyuan's father stood up and left with a hoe, although he said that the orchard invited others to help with weeding, but he couldn't be idle, so he often took the hoe to work, but it was not as hard as before, and now you can rest well when you are tired.

After Zhang Tianyuan's father left, Liu Jinglin said: "Xiao Zhang, this time I came to you, it was really a little abrupt, but I also encountered a little problem, and I have to help you." ”

"Master Liu, you're polite, just say anything you want." Zhang Tianyuan felt that it was better to ask things clearly first, after all, he didn't know what Liu Jinglin came to him for at this time, and he didn't dare to pat his chest lightly.

Liu Jinglin took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll say it bluntly, this time I came to borrow some materials from you." ”

"What material?"

"Emerald! It is best to have jadeite of higher quality than ice species. Liu Jinglin replied.

"Master Liu, you know, the quality of jadeite above the ice species, that's not easy to get, I can lend it to you, but I want to ask what exactly you want to do." Zhang Tianyuan now has better materials at hand, he can really lend it to Liu Jinglin, after all, Liu Jinglin is a celebrity. It helped him a lot again, and this time the tools were borrowed from him. If you don't even help with that, you can't say anything. It's just that he wants to find out what the other party's intention is to borrow jadeite.

"Oh, that's right, one of my students is doing jewelry design, and he wants to hold a jewelry fair in Xifeng City, in which jadeite occupies a very important position, but he doesn't have good materials at hand, and I don't have either, which is more troublesome." Liu Jinglin replied: "You can rest assured that the material will be lent to us." It is used to make naked pieces, specifically bracelets and rings, and when the money is sold, we can return it to you soon. ”

The so-called "naked jadeite" refers to jadeite jewelry with no carved patterns and patterns on the surface. In a narrow sense, jadeite rings, bracelets, and bare flowers belong to the category of bare jadeite; Broadly speaking, the carving of Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha and the like also belong to the category of bare jadeite, because this kind of jadeite jewelry often pays attention to symmetry and has higher requirements for materials. The surface is smooth, and there is no extra carving except for the fixed carved line.

According to some sources, "the beauty of jadeite lies in the quality of jade, what kind of jewelry it is used for, and what kind of shape it is made." It's all very particular. Only jade with no flaws and cracks can be made into naked jade jewelry. The two pieces are of the same kind and color. The jadeite of the same size, the naked one is definitely more expensive than the carved one. Because it has higher requirements for the 'species' and 'color' of the material itself. ”

"Did your student run his own jewelry business?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.

"No, he used to study jewelry design and jade naked body making in China. Later, I went abroad for further study, and I just came back because I wanted to promote myself through this exhibition, mainly to find a good job. Liu Jinglin explained.

"Ha, you're an interesting student, this kind of self-promotion is really fresh enough." Zhang Tianyuan felt interesting when he heard it, so he agreed: "How many materials are needed, as long as I have them here, then there is no problem." ”

"It's not much, it's enough to have a pound or so, after all, his purpose is not to sell, but to publicize, it's more expensive, no more." Liu Jinglin replied.

"That's even more fine, so let's go find your student after lunch, I also want to see how his craftsmanship is, in fact, I also have some materials that I want to make naked." Zhang Tianyuan said.

"It's a coincidence, I don't think it's better to do this, since you have such a need, then we don't need to borrow materials, just use your materials to make naked pieces, and then let him exhibit for a few days, what do you think?" Liu Jinglin said.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

After the two of them discussed, they had lunch in the small western-style building in the orchard, and then rushed to Xifeng together, Nie Qinglan of course followed, her reason was very simple, she wanted to see and understand, the process of a jadeite jewelry from wool to birth, wool calcite she had already seen, but how to make jadeite into a naked body, she had not seen it, so she had to go and see.

It was still early when he arrived in Xifeng, and Liu Jinglin took Zhang Tianyuan directly to the place where his students were preparing for the fair.

"Xiao Zhang, this is my student Tian Yu, he is not the kind of nerd who clings to books, he is absolutely first-class in jewelry making, especially the jade bare body making zuò, which is definitely very good." Liu Jinglin pointed to a man who looked to be in his early thirties.

Then, Liu Jinglin introduced Zhang Tianyuan to Tian Yu.

Tian Yu was very surprised, he thought that the old friend Liu Jinglin said should also be an old man in his fifties and sixties, where did he think that it was actually a young man who looked younger than himself, and the beautiful woman next to this young man was even more obsessive, he was a little stunned.

"Ahem, Tian Yu." Liu Jinglin was a little embarrassed, coughed twice and reminded.

"Oh, Boss Zhang, please sit in the house, because Yiqiē is still preparing, so it's more messy, I hope you don't dislike it." Tian Yu reacted in a hurry, and the response was quite decent.

"Designer Tian, there are not many talents like you who can both design and make hands-on products, and many designers' designs only stay on paper and have no hands-on ability at all. After hearing Master Liu's words, I decided to help. Zhang Tianyuan smiled.

"Boss Zhang is really a charcoal in the snow, because the making of jade naked body pieces can best see a person's craftsmanship level, just like a chef making egg fried rice, which seems to be a simple thing, but it is more skillful. So you can help, that's for me. It's a great help. Tian Yu said gratefully.

"Tian Yu, do you understand what I told you on the phone? This time, Xiao Zhang will provide materials. Better material than you ever imagined, and then it's up to you to make the bare pieces. Exhibit at your trade fair. Liu Jinglin reminded.

"Teacher, I understand very clearly. It's better this way, I'm just going to show off my skills, so it doesn't matter if something is mine or not. Tian Yu said with a smile.

"That's good, you must do it well, Xiao Zhang's materials don't fly out of thin air, don't waste it, you know, now ice quality jadeite is rare." Don't break it. Liu Jinglin felt still uneasy, and admonished.

Tian Yu nodded and said: "Teacher, don't forget, this exhibition is a sales promotion to myself, if I don't do well, it will smash my own brand." ”

"Well, I think so, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to play this guarantee, after all, those jadeites are too precious." Liu Jinglin can be regarded as relieved.

"Boss Zhang. Did Emerald bring it? Tian Yu asked.

"Are you going to start now?"

"Boss Zhang, you don't know, the requirements for making naked pieces are very high, I have to take a look at the situation of jade first. Only then can you make a judgment, and when you do it, you will be prepared. Yancheng jade carving master Liu Lao once said. Don't look at the naked jadeite 'no work' (plain work), which is more of a test of the master's skills than carving carved pieces with complex patterns. ’

As a rule. A piece of jadeite material without cracks, good seeds, water, ground and color. Always try not to carve or carve as little as possible, but sometimes in order to avoid or cover up the cracks or natural defects on the jadeite material, you have to resort to carving. In this sense, the less carved jewelry the better the quality of the material. High-quality naked jadeite, not only to have excellent characteristics, but also to have excellent craftsmanship, so the price in the market is very high, by the collection of lovers and sought after.

I just want to see, how to get your jadeite, the requirement to do bare pieces is not carving, but if the material is not very good, then less carving is also possible. ”

"I see. I'll just say, I've always heard insiders say that the collection value of naked pieces is much higher than that of carved pieces, and now I finally understand a little. Zhang Tianyuan said with understanding.

Tian Yu said with a smile: "The Book of Rites" cloud: 'Dagui is not cut, and its quality is also. In fact, good jadeite is usually in the form of a 'plain' body to express the natural beauty of jade. 'Su' body jadeite, that is, the connoisseur's mouth' of the 'naked body jadeite', the surface is not carved patterns and patterns. Bare jadeite has high requirements for jade quality, and there can be no cracks and no flaws. The 'carved jadeite' seems exquisite, but in fact, 'no locks are not flowers', and the complex patterns and ornaments are often used to cover up cracks and other imperfections. ”

"Naked jadeite is better than carved jadeite, what is the specific way to say this?" Nie Qinglan, who had not spoken, asked abruptly.

The girl got to the point. Because the naked body jadeite can best express the beauty of the jade quality of xiàn jadeite. Diamonds and gemstones are better than the beauty of luster and fire, and they are used as jewelry to pay attention to cut in order to achieve a dazzling effect; The beauty of jadeite lies in the quality of jade, and what kind of shape it is made into as jewelry is very particular. Only jadeite with no flaws and cracks can be made into 'naked' jewelry, so bare jadeite has higher requirements for the 'species' and 'color' of the material itself.

We have a jargon called 'no silk does not become a flower', which refers to the small cracks on the jadeite, and this jargon means that only the jadeite with zài flaws or cracks will be used to make carved jadeite. Many people like carved jadeite exquisitely clear, which is borrowed from the reflection and refraction of light to highlight the three-dimensional sense of jadeite. And where it is thinned, there are often impurities and other defects. The common leaf-shaped flowers, with intricate veins, are often used to cover up cracks or remove superficial cracks.

Therefore, bare jadeite has more appreciation potential than carved jadeite, and top jadeite is basically 'naked'. In Christie's and many other famous auction houses, high-end jadeite can be auctioned, almost without exception concentrated in bead chains, bracelets, rings, jade buckles and other bare jade jewelry, which shows the rarity of bare jadeite and its value potential. ”

"Hearing you say this, I probably understand, in fact, Designer Tian, you don't have to worry, the material I gave you is definitely good material that you can't imagine, and it is absolutely impossible for cracks and cracks to appear." Zhang Tianyuan has this self-confidence, not only because of the original quality of his jadeite, but also because he can re-heal the original cracks and cracks through the guò word trick, which is seamless.
