Chapter 15 Fake White Turquoise

After listening, everyone present agreed with Lan Qi's statement.

Indeed, when Chuhe saw the string of beads for the first time, he already guessed that it was probably turquoise.

But he didn't jump to conclusions, but first picked up the prayer beads and observed carefully.

Cheng Xiulan said disdainfully at the side: "I said, don't put on airs there, Lan Qi has already given the answer first, I think it should be very clear who wins and who loses."

"That's not necessarily true." Tian Guyi interjected, but he still looked at Chuhe calmly, trusting his judgment.

Chu He looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand, and after deliberating for a while, he smiled and replied, "This is white pine stone."

"What?!" Xu Jingchun was surprised. When he heard that the bead was made of white turquoise, he was very surprised.

Old Chen's face didn't change at all, he motioned Chuhe to continue talking.

"Everyone knows that turquoise is a high-quality jade material. In the Qing Dynasty of my country, it was called the gem of heaven, and it was regarded as a holy object of auspicious happiness. At that time, only the official hats of emperors and queen mothers could be inlaid with turquoise."

"Because it is rare and expensive, many high imitation turquoises on the market are made of magnesite, which is commonly known as white turquoise."

"Because of the unevenly distributed markings on the white turquoise, it has the same visual effect as the iron lines on the surface of the turquoise."

Chu He lifted up the string of Buddhist beads, "This string of Buddhist beads is not made of turquoise, but white turquoise."

"Baby, you have to think clearly." Old Chen reminded Chuhe again.

When Cheng Xiulan saw Mr. Chen hinting at Chuhe like this, she let go of what she had just raised, and then said in a choked voice: "I don't think you know the heights of heaven and earth, you kid! The people present here belong to Mr. Chen with the oldest qualifications." An expert, you little brat dare to fight against others?"

"That's right, how could Mr. Chen buy a counterfeit product? It's probably because this kid is talking nonsense."

"Yeah, I see, the young people from the Beijing sect aren't doing so well either."

Xu Jingchun began to worry when he saw Chu He facing so many people's doubts.

When he looked at Zhang Yongjin, Zhang Yongjin gave him a reassuring gesture and asked him to continue watching the show.

Chuhe still answered firmly: "This is indeed Baisongshi."

"Tell me your opinion." Old Chen asked curiously.

"Natural turquoise is natural in color and has spirituality, but although the color level of the imitation is the same, it always lacks spirituality. As for whether you can see the spirituality, this really varies from person to person."

Chu He scratched his head in embarrassment, and then continued to explain: "But natural turquoise iron wires are often concave, while synthetic turquoise iron wires are generally not concave, and the extending parts are obviously different from the natural lines. "

"Of course, there is one last point to prove that what I said is correct."

Chu He looked around twice, then came to a middle-aged man and asked, "Can I borrow your lighter?"

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then took out the lighter he had just finished lighting, and handed it to Chuhe.

Chuhe returned to his original position, picked up the beads, and lit the lighter directly under the beads.

"Boy! What are you doing?!" Cheng Xiulan shouted in panic.

Xu Jingchun was also shocked by Chuhe's behavior and broke into a cold sweat.

When he was about to stop Chuhe, Mr. Chen shook his head and let Chuhe continue.

Sure enough, when the flame touched the surface of the beads, the flame enlarged and turned blue, and also emitted some unpleasant pungent smells.

Chu He then turned off the lighter and explained: "The real turquoise will turn black after being burned. This is a normal phenomenon, but it will not leave any traces after being wiped in time, even if there is a little yellow and black phenomenon. It will also come back to a shiny new state after washing with cold water."

"However, if it is a fake, there will be a strong reaction. You just saw it, the color turns blue and it emits a pungent smell."

As soon as Chu He finished speaking, Mr. Chen laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad, really not bad."

He then walked in front of Chuhe and patted Chuhe's shoulder: "Sure enough, the younger generation is fearful, the younger generation is fearful."

Cheng Xiulan immediately stepped forward, looked at the Buddhist beads on the table, and asked Mr. Chen in disbelief: "Mr. Chen, is this really a fake?"

"Well, yes, it is indeed a fake."

Seeing that everyone present was puzzled, Mr. Chen explained: "I bought this three-way Buddha head at Panjiayuan for more than a dozen yuan."

"What??!" Cheng Xiulan stared dumbfounded at the string of Buddhist beads in her hand: "This is bought by Panjiayuan? How can you buy it, Mr. Chen?"

"You want to ask me why I bought the turquoise this time, right?" Chen Lao laughed aloud, "I originally planned to buy a string of beads to test my students when I went back. The beads are not warm yet, so I will use them tonight."

"You guys just think that based on my experience, it is impossible to be deceived by others, and it is impossible to buy fakes, so you all believe that little girl's words and think that this prayer bead is turquoise."

"At that time, I repeatedly asked Chuhe whether he had seen it clearly, just to see if he would doubt his own judgment because of my authority. As a result, he did, and he chose to believe in himself."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he pointed to Chuhe and Hetian Guyi and said, "Xiaotian, you have taken in a good student."

"Mr. Chen praised him. He just has some wisdom and no great ability." Tian Guyi quickly waved his hands and used an excuse to belittle Chu He.

But anyone can see that Tian Guyi's face is already full of smiles.

Old Chen looked at Chuhe and said kindly, "Baby, you won."

"That. Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I burned your Buddhist beads like this, or, or I will go to Panjiayuan to buy one for you another day." Chuhe worried that Mr. Chen would blame himself.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen shook his hand indifferently, "Didn't you say that this is just a fake Buddhist beads, but..."

"If you feel sorry, after the seminar is over, go to Panjiayuan with me, an old man, and see if you can pick up some good things?" Old Chen changed the subject and asked about Chuhe.

Chuhe was stunned for a moment, until he saw Zhang Yongjin blinking his eyes desperately, signaling for him to agree, then he came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "If you can go to Panjiayuan with Mr. Chen, you will definitely learn something."

"Okay, okay." At this time, Mr. Chen also turned to look at Lan Qi behind him, "Girl, you come too."

Although Lan Qi lost the palm eye appraisal this time, she didn't have much emotion. When she heard Chen Lao's words, she also nodded in a daze.

"Okay, okay, let's eat something quickly, these fruits are cold." Seeing that the matter was coming to an end, Zhang Yongjin quickly changed the topic.

"Wait!"

Cheng Xiulan yelled, and then walked straight to Chuhe, looking at him with blazing eyes.
