Meng Zitao briefly talked about internal strength. Kang Yan satisfied his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions. After all, this matter was too far away from him. Even if he wanted to practice it, his talent would probably not be enough, and it would definitely cost a lot of money. It¡¯s not appropriate for me to have time to practice at my age, so I¡¯d better just be an ordinary person.
In fact, it was precisely because Kang Yan was more practical that Meng Zitao mentioned this kind of thing to him.
After a while, Xie¡¯s mother came out carefully holding a box. After opening it, they found several small boxes inside.
"These are the antiques Mingxu gave me. They said they were left for my retirement money. I don't understand this. I'm afraid of being cheated. Except for Xiaokang, I haven't shown it to anyone else." As he spoke, Xie The mother took out one of them and opened it, only to see two round pearls inside.
Meng Zitao was a little surprised when he saw these two precious ones, because their diameter seemed to be close to 20 mm.
Generally speaking, the price of pearls plays a big factor, and they are mainly divided into five categories: 8-9 mm; 9-11 mm; 11-13 mm; 13-14 mm; 15-16 mm; and pearls above 17 mm. Belonging to super large pearls, the price is subject to negotiation, and the two pearls in front of me are both super large pearls.
Meng Zitao was polite, picked up the pearl and looked at it carefully to determine what kind of pearl it was.
Nowadays, pearls are divided into natural pearls and cultured pearls. The price difference between the two is quite big. If the pair of pearls in front of you are all naturally formed, the value will be high, estimated to be millions.
Generally speaking, natural pearls are formed when irritating small impurities from the outside enter the mantle of certain shellfish under accidental conditions. At this time, the shellfish soft body secretes a kind of nacre to protect itself. The foreign matter is wrapped in layers to form excrescences, which become beads over time.
And pearl culture is based on the physiological function of pearl oysters that can secrete nacre to form pearls. Cells are implanted in the body of pearl oysters, or pearl nuclei plus cell flakes, and pearls are cultivated and cultivated after a certain period of time.
Based on their formation principles, you can tell whether they are natural or cultured. Natural pearls have no core, and the exterior and interior are the same. The body of the pearl is tight, delicate, and moist, and is almost translucent, but is actually opaque. Cultured pearls have cores, but the exterior and interior are different. The skin is not smooth and has nested skin, and the body of the pearl has a loose structure.
This pair of pearls does not have any artificial traces, and there is no core inside the pearl, so it is undoubtedly naturally formed.
In addition, after observation, Meng Zitao discovered that in addition to being naturally formed, the pair of pearls also had something very special, so he asked Xie¡¯s mother if she had a flat glass plate. Mother Xie said there was a glass fruit plate, and Meng Zitao asked her to get it.
"What do you want a glass plate for?"
"I think these two pearls may be random pearls."
"What are walking beads?" Kang Yan added: "I don't know much about pearls."
Meng Zitao explained: "The finely round pearls on the market mainly refer to 'walking beads'. Its evaluation standard is that a pearl rolls from Party A to Party B on the glass plate. If the pearl moves in a straight line, it is called 'walking pearls'." "Plate beads" are "precision circles"; if the pearls appear to be "wobbly" when rolling in a straight line, they look like round beads, but they are actually called "fake beads". After the finished product is made, it is most likely to fool laymen. The price difference between plate beads and fake round beads is more than three times.¡±
When Xie¡¯s mother came over with a glass fruit plate, Meng Zitao explained to him the meaning of the walking beads, then took out a pearl and placed it on the fruit plate, tilted it slightly, and saw that the pearl reached the bottom through a straight line.
Next, Meng Zitao tested another pearl in the same way. Unfortunately, this pearl could not move forward in a straight line.
"It's a pity that this pearl is round enough, but it still doesn't reach the level of a walking pearl."
Meng Zitao shook his head regretfully: "However, these are natural pearls after all. The formation conditions are harsh and take a long time, making them even rarer. Moreover, it is difficult to find free-wheeling pearls. It is already rare for these two to have such performance, and They are large in size. I estimate that the price of these two pearls should be around one million. Of course, the value of this walking bead must be higher."
Knowing that these two pearls could be worth a million, Mother Xie was a little dumbfounded. After a while, she came back to her senses and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Can they really be worth so much?"
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded.
Mother Xie said with an annoyed look on her face: "Why am I so stupid? If I could have taken it out and sold it earlier"
"Auntie, don't think so." Kang Yan interjected: "If someone else offers one hundred thousand, or ten thousand or twenty thousand, will you sell it?"
Xie¡¯s mother said in surprise: ¡°Chai, the pork knuckle tastes very soft and tender, but still chewy. Take a sip of the soup, which is filled with the store's unique recipe of seasonings. Even the gods will praise it after eating it. It is worthy of the name of fairy chicken.
Immediately afterwards, everyone tasted another gold medal dish, gold medal soil ginseng. In fact, soil ginseng is radish. The ancients called radish soil ginseng. This dish is actually a common bone radish soup. Although it looks simple, it is not easy to make delicious. This dish is cooked slowly. , simmering the essence of the bones into the radish. When served, there are only radishes without bones. The radishes taste tender and refreshing, with endless flavor.
After tasting a table full of delicacies, everyone was full of praise, but the most impressive dish was the cabbage sum that was served at the end. As the name suggests, this dish is cooked with the tenderest cabbage sum, and uses a specially prepared broth. It does not lose the sweetness of the cabbage sum in the mouth, but also has a unique fresh fragrance, which is endless aftertaste. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
