    Seeing that the pendant showed blue-white fluorescence under ultraviolet light, Ning Jinxiu was very surprised and asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, why does it behave like this?"

    Meng Zitao introduced: "This is because B-grade and B+C-grade jadeite contain glue substances due to post-processing. The glue substances will show blue-white fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet rays. If you don't believe it, when you go back, get a piece of A  If you try it like this, you won't behave like this."

    Ning Jinxiu said: "No need to go back, I still have a piece of jade pendant here. You can try it and see if it is really genuine."

    With that said, he took off the pendant hanging around his neck and placed it on the table.  This is a gourd pendant. Because the light is too dim, it is difficult to see clearly.

    Meng Zitao cast ultraviolet light on this pendant, and it still shows its original color. If it is indeed jade, it should be A-grade jade.

    "Lao Yang was speechless and said: "Since you have a jade pendant, why do you still 'take medicine'? If nothing else, you can tell it with just a slight impact."

    "Is there such a thing?" Ning Jinxiu looked very surprised.

    Lao Yang said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, just use your piece of goods and tap another one and you will know."

    Ning Jinxiu quickly picked up two pieces of jade and bumped them slightly. Since the room was relatively quiet, he could immediately hear the difference. The sound of items b+c was muffled and there was no crisp sound like item A next to it.

    "Thisreally, why am I so stupid that I didn't try this method." Ning Jinxiu said with annoyance.

    In fact, sometimes people are like this. When a certain antique attracts their attention, the more they look at it, the more it feels right and true. Sometimes, they forget the knowledge points they clearly know.  Of course, if you really buy it, you will end up like Ning Jinxu now, extremely upset.

    Because the light here was too dark, everyone walked out. When they got outside the door, Ning Jinxiu looked at the pendant in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became.

    This is because the color of B-grade jadeite looks good at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that the color is dull and crazy. If you put it under the light and observe it, the color transparency will be weakened.

    In fact, if you compare it with the A product, you can easily find the problems. Everyone doesn¡¯t know what Ning Jinxiu thinks. He actually has a genuine product and can be discerning in this regard.

    After a while, Ning Jinxiu breathed a long sigh of relief and asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, is there any simpler way to find goods B and C?"

    Meng Zitao thought for a while and said: "You can usually tell the B product by just looking at its color. As for the C product, you can buy a Charles filter and use it to observe. The green will turn red or colorless."  . In addition, the surface color can be removed or turned into brown by wiping it with a strong bleaching agent.¡±

    ¡°Oh, how much does that Charles filter cost?¡± Ning Jinxu asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s about a hundred or so yuan, you can also buy it online.¡± Meng Zitao said.

    Ning Jinxiu said: "It's not expensive. I'll buy one when I get back. By the way, what should I do with this pendant?"

    Meng Zitao said: "It depends on what you think. However, due to the destruction of the original quality of jade by strong acid, B goods or B+C goods will gradually lose their luster and cracks within two or three years, and you are injecting dye  If you wear it for a long time, it will have some impact on your body, so you'd better pay attention to this aspect."

    "Why do I need this kind of thing?!" Ning Jinxiu was so angry that he planned to throw the thing away.

    Lao Yang said: "This thing is evidence. Wouldn't it be bad if you threw it away now?"

    "Uh, I almost forgot about this." Ning Jinxiu patted his head.

    "By the way, don't you think what happened today is strange?" Lao Yang felt that Ning Jinxiu was a little bit hindsight and couldn't help but remind him.

    "There's nothing strange about this." Ning Jinxiu was still a little confused.

    "Don't you think about it, this is not near the antique market, why would they plant mines here? Moreover, they must have understood your hobbies, so they brought the jade out to test you."

    Lao Yang's reminder made Ning Jinxiu come back to his senses and slapped his thigh: "I understand, it must be the same group of people last year. Originally, besides the old man, there were three men last year, but in the end it turned out that  Only the one who made the phone call was arrested, and the other one ran away."

    "The other one said it had nothing to do with him, and because there was no evidence, it was settled in the end. I guess they have always held a grudge about this matter. Now that more than a year has passed, they feel that it is okay, so they came to take revenge on me. Hmph! I really thought I would rather  Is someone easy to bully?¡±

    Meng Zitao interjected: "I think these?You shouldn't be so stupid. You know you have the ability to deal with them, so you will definitely be prepared.  Moreover, not far from here is the boundary of the next city.  "

    "This" Ning Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked to the side and made a phone call. After saying a few words, he became excited. It seemed that there should be no good news.

    Meng Zitao shook his head secretly. Since the other party had made a plan in advance, the possibility of finding it was extremely slim.

    At this time, the owner of the restaurant next to him asked with a smile on his face: "Boss, are you both in the antique business?"

    "Lao Yang said with a smile: "This shopkeeper Meng accepts everything, I just accept some porcelain."

    Meng Zitao took over and said, "Boss, do you have something to sell?"

    From just now, the restaurant owner has been very enthusiastic. The level of enthusiasm is really contrary to common sense. Meng Zitao has made a guess in his heart. Now after hearing this, he can basically confirm that he should have something to sell.  .

    The restaurant owner smiled and said: "I do have something to sell. If you find it convenient, can you come to my house and have a look?"

    "no problem¡­¡­"

    Having said this, Ning Jinxiu came back and said, "Lao Yang, Shopkeeper Meng, I'm going to handle this matter now. Let's talk to each other next time we have the opportunity."

    Both Meng Zitao and Lao Yang said it didn't matter, and after that, everyone exchanged their business cards.

    After Ning Jinxiu left, Meng Zitao and the others followed the hotel owner to his home in a community not far from the hotel.

    The restaurant owner was very talkative. On the way, he first introduced himself as Mu Yuqi, and then told everyone the origin of the antiques he wanted to sell.

    He said that he used to work as a chef in Shanghai, and the dishes he cooked at that time were good and very popular with customers. Among them, there was an old man suffering from anorexia who got better after eating his food.

    However, the old man also suffered from other terminal diseases and passed away not long after. Before he died, the old man asked his children to give him the things he wanted to sell this time.

    Mu Yuqi said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I didn't plan to sell the things originally. However, the store of the restaurant I am opening now is rented. For some reasons, the owner wants to sell the store. The profit I made previously  All the money was used to buy a house, and now that I can¡¯t get so much money together at the moment, I can only make plans for it.¡±

    Speaking of this, he said: "Two bosses, when I have money in the future, I also want to buy it back in the future. I wonder if you can stop selling it?"

    Lao Yang said: "Actually, if you are like this, you can use it as a mortgage."

    Mu Yuqi shook his head: "I have checked before. Antique mortgages are complicated and it is not easy to realize the value. Although there are some commission banks and pawn shops that are willing to accept them, the mortgage loan amount is generally only 40% or less of the lowest recognized market price.  , and there are risks in keeping things with them.¡±

    "As for friends, there are basically no friends who can spend so much money at once, and I don't like to owe people favors, so I didn't make this idea"

    While talking, everyone arrived at Mu Yuqi¡¯s home. His parents heard that Meng Zitao and Lao Yang were antique collectors, so they were very polite and served tea and water.

    After a while, Mu Yuqi brought a wooden box over. After opening it, he saw a wine bottle inside.

    Old Yang looked up and said, "It's a tin pot. It's really rare these days."

    Mu Yuqi¡¯s father took over and said: ¡°Yes, newspapers often say that people were hospitalized after being poisoned by drinking wine in tin pots, which led to no one¡±

    Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his wife, who glared at him, probably complaining that he was talking nonsense.

    Meng Zitao also saw this scene and said with a smile: "In fact, tin itself is an environmentally friendly metal and has no toxicity. If it is made by manual welding, it can achieve a purity of 99.9%. There is actually no problem in normal use."

    "But tin is not particularly strong. Therefore, if the casting process is used in the production of tin products, alloys must be added to make it strong, so some unscrupulous traders will add lead instead. In addition, there is another situation  , that is, the alloy lead added exceeds the standard.¡±

    "Both of these situations will make tin alloy pots unsafe. Therefore, we cannot generally say that 'tin pots are poisonous'. The correct statement should be tin alloy wine pots that contain lead or lead exceeds the standard. They are used to hold wine and are harmful to people.  unfavorable."

    After listening to Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation, Mu Yuqi¡¯s family suddenly realized. Mu Yuqi asked: ¡°Shopkeeper Meng, how can we judge whether it is a pure tin pot?¡±

    "First of all, we need to observe the color. If the color is like a mirror and can be seen by light, generally speaking, it contains more than 99% tin. In addition, rotate to see if there is blue light in the color. If there is, it means it is tin alloy"

    Meng Zitao gave everyone an introduction and finally said: "So, this is indeed a good tin pot."

    "How much is it worth?" Mu Yuqi's mother quickly asked.

    Mu Yuqi was speechless when he heard this: "Mom, shopkeeper Meng hasn't carefully appraised it yet. How can I tell you how much it's worth right away?"

    Mu Yuqi¡¯s mother was a little embarrassed: ¡°I was anxious.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, saying it didn't matter, and then took the tin pot into his hand and looked at it (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com)First, we need to observe the color.
