Feng Yi thought: This is such an obvious piece of jade, it is impossible for a successful businessman like Bai Youwei to not be able to tell the material.
Sure enough, Bai Youwei then said:
"I know."
Bai Youwei untied the bracelet on the table and laid it out into a long strip.
"This is just a replica. I prepared the jade and had it carved according to the original bracelet. I can't carry a real snake bone bracelet with me, and I don't want to wear it even if I can. I don't wear or play with blood-stained objects."
Although he is a big boss in the catering industry, Bai Youwei has his own insistence. Killing food is one thing, and wearing it is another. He is not happy to wear something made of animal bones.
Feng Yi was puzzled. Since Bai Youwei knew, what did he come here to identify
"So what you mean?" Feng Yi asked.
Bai Youwei pointed at the long snake bone carved from jade on the table and said, "In the original snake bone bracelet, most of the long chain was from the same snake. But later some fake parts or parts from other snakes were mixed in, making it difficult to identify. Can you pick out which parts do not belong to this snake without damaging or directly touching the snake bone bracelet? Are the remaining real snake bones from the same snake in the wrong order when they were strung into a chain?"
Feng Yi thought about it and replied seriously, "Yes! But there are requirements."
Feng Yi raised his index finger and said, "First, I need to see the real thing so that I can make an accurate judgment."
He raised his second finger and said, "Second, you have to pay more. The kind of identification you mentioned is a bit troublesome."

Lu Yue and Bai Lu walked around the courtyard and found that a corner of the courtyard was rented to a program crew for recording a variety show. After looking for a while, they lost interest and went to visit the basement.
With their family backgrounds, even if they didn't live in a high-value-added and famous community like Luhai, their housing would not be bad. They have seen so many bigger and more luxurious mansions than this one that they can't count them on both hands.
They have seen a lot of luxury, and nothing else can attract them. Lu Yue sees the added value here from a commercial perspective, while Bai Lu worships every design through a thousand-layer thick filter, especially those that he can't understand. He always feels that there are mysteries everywhere and there must be some deep meaning. It's a pity that with his current ability, he can't decipher the deep meaning.
They played billiards in the entertainment room on the first floor of the basement. Lu Yue was a more mature businessman. He certainly would not indulge in such unprofitable entertainment activities with Bai Lu. Entertainment without purpose was a waste of time for him. While he was playing, he would get some information about the various families in Yangcheng from Bai Lu.
"Your dad has been here for a long time." Lu Yue said after checking the time.
If the matter was finished, Feng Yi would definitely come to find them. But when the butler brought them tea and snacks just now, he learned from the butler that the matter upstairs had not been finished yet.
Bai Lu also felt that it took a long time, but he knew his father, "It must be something important. My father is usually so busy, but he can stay here for so long, there must be a reason."
After playing for a while, Bai Lu couldn't stay any longer and preferred to go to the landscape pond to see the koi. He hadn't figured out the koi yet.
Lu Yue didn't want to see the koi, but he didn't want to just wait here either, so he took a cup of tea and sat in the courtyard to handle company matters on his phone.
I was chatting with several company executives when I heard Bai Lu exclaim, "Brother?!"
Of course, the "brother" that Bai Lu called was not Lu Yue or Feng Yi, but his biological brother Bai Jing.
Lu Yue raised his eyes and looked over.
It was Bai Jing! Logically speaking, at this point in time, Bai Youwei was here, so Bai Jing should be very busy. With a large family and a lot of things to do, someone had to take charge.
What's so important that the two most important and powerful figures in the Bai family made time to come
Bai Jing just glanced over here, nodded slightly, and then walked quickly into the house, holding a black box in his hand.
"Didn't your elder brother say he was very busy today?" Lu Yue asked.
"I... I don't know. I should be very busy."
Bai Lu had a doubtful look on his face, and he seemed to be unusually serious. He thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he asked Lu Yue again, "Is Feng Yi's identification ability really that strong?"
"Very impressive! Not just ordinary impressive!" Lu Yue said. Most people couldn't identify all the goods in their company. Others might need to look at them for a while, or even use tools to identify them, but Feng Yi could do it with just one glance.
“So amazing!” When Bai Lu heard Lu Yue talk about Feng Yi’s identification ability before, he thought it was just average. But if it was just average, it would be impossible for his father and brother to put down what they were doing and come over.
"It's really amazing." Lu Yue thought to himself, with the current development, Feng Yi's appraisal fees will have to increase in the future. Thinking about it this way, the fees before the license was actually very affordable!
Reception room.
After Feng Yi made the request, Bai Youwei thought for a moment and agreed. Then he contacted his eldest son Bai Jing and asked him to bring the things over in person. He was worried about others.
During the more than one hour of waiting, Bai Youwei told Feng Yi all his requirements, not only to verify the authenticity, but also to exclude other interfering bones that did not belong to the snake. If there were any bones that were arranged in the wrong order, they would have to be rearranged.
When Bai Jing came over, he still had a little smell of stove smoke on him. When he received Bai Youwei's call, he was inspecting the big kitchen of their own restaurant.
Bai Youwei took the box handed to him by Bai Jing, placed it carefully on the table, opened the combination lock, and took out the things inside.
Bai Jing took the box down, and Bai Youwei held the transparent box with both hands. Inside was a yellowed snake bone chain.
After placing the box on the table, Bai Youwei smiled and said, "This time it's real snake bones."
"Do you have a certificate?" Feng Yi knew that the more prestigious a person was, the more they valued such things and the more rigorous they would be in doing things.
Bai Youwei glanced at him and took out a certificate with a red seal from the secret pocket of the safe.
This certificate is to prove that the item belongs to them, and when and by whom it was issued. This item was made before legislation, and the holder can keep it or give it to others, but it cannot be traded publicly.
Feng Yi handed it back after reading it, and smiled apologetically, "It's a business requirement, I understand."
"Mutual understanding." Bai Youwei said indifferently.
In the past, when they asked someone to appraise something, they sometimes had to produce this certificate, otherwise the expert team would not appraise it.
It’s a pity that the identification results are always unsatisfactory.
Feng Yi said to Bai Jing who was sitting next to him: "Help yourself to drink tea, you don't have to be polite."
Due to Bai Youwei's request, there was no one else here except the three of them.
Bai Youwei's driver, Bai Jing's assistant and others were also waiting outside.
Bai Jing hurried over to get something after answering the phone. He was indeed a little thirsty, so he poured a cup of tea from the side, smelled it, and asked in surprise, "Tea from Xiaofeng Mountain?"
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows, "Can you smell this?"
"Do you know Uncle Ya?" Bai Jing let down his guard a little and smiled faintly.
"Yeah, old acquaintance."
"Judging from the amount you use, it's obvious that you have enough tea. You two are not just old acquaintances! We can't buy enough tea from him even if we pay a high price!" Bai Jing sighed.
Feng Yi knew that Uncle Ya would sell tea to others, but he didn't expect that the Bai family would also order tea from Uncle Ya!
Bai Jing also complained, "The tea grown by Uncle Ya is really good! But the quantity is too small! He is not willing to sell more!"
After a brief chat to ease the atmosphere, they turned their attention back to the snake bone chain.
After the real thing was displayed, neither Bai Jing nor Bai Youwei looked at the jade snake bone necklace on the table. In fact, when Bai Youwei was placing things just now, he thought the jade necklace was in the way and pushed it aside.
"The authentic one is on display. Can you identify it?" Bai Youwei stared at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi's eyes swept across the snake bone chain in the transparent box and he nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"How long will it take to identify it?" Bai Youwei asked again.
"If we follow the requirements you mentioned before, it will definitely be more troublesome and the appraisal will take a little longer."
Feng Yi said this and picked up the gloves and put them on again.
"Then should I start now?" Feng Yi looked at Bai Youwei.
Bai Youwei nodded. Although it was not visible on their faces, Feng Yi could sense that Bai Youwei and Bai Jing were very nervous and seemed to be looking forward to something.
There is a secret hidden in this snake bone necklace.
The snake bone chain in the transparent box has patterns printed on each section of the snake bone. The patterns are similar in color to the snake bones, but you can see the reflection of the patterns when you move the view.
And the long jade chain placed on the table also has a number on each jade bead.
However, Feng Yi was not interested in other people's secrets. He put on the gloves and entered work mode.
Each jade stone has a number on it, corresponding to a section of the snake bone chain.
Feng Yi placed the jade chain horizontally in front of him and pulled out the string that held the jade. In the eyes of the two Bai bosses, the fine white jade seemed worthless and they didn't feel sorry for it at all.
Since the owner doesn't feel sorry for it, Feng Yi doesn't need to care too much. He just needs to identify the good things.
I touched the arranged jade stones and they were smooth!
It feels very good.
Unexpectedly, the first battle in which these gloves showed their value was when they came into contact with expensive jade!
Feng Yi stared at the snake bone chain in the transparent box and placed his right fingers on the jade chain.
His eyes fell on the front end of the snake bone chain, while his fingers were placed on the corresponding position of the jade chain.
Then, his sight moved back along the snake bone as if scanning step by step.
Bai Youwei and Bai Jing couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to see more clearly.
Feng Yi's eyes were fixed on the box, but when his finger on the jade chain slid over a certain jade, he suddenly pushed and hooked his finger, and a jade arranged there rolled into his hand and was placed next to it.
The first step is to remove the false bones mixed in the snake bone chain and the snake bones that are not from the same individual.
Each piece of jade corresponds to a section of the snake bone chain. Removing any piece of jade means that the corresponding snake bone is fake or not the same.
Feng Yi's series of actions seemed as if he was very familiar with this snake bone structure. During the whole process, his gaze did not shift!
One finger of the hand is always placed on the main chain of the jade so as not to forget which bone to identify after removing a piece of jade.
In just one breath, three of them were picked out!
Bai Jing opened his eyes wide and held his breath.
Bai Youwei considered himself knowledgeable, but his breathing was a little disordered just now.
The father and son stared at the movements of Feng Yi's hands. Their mood at this moment was as if they came here with the mentality of looking at a Persian cat, but found out that they saw a mature Siberian tiger!
Shocked, shocked!
The feeling of having your original ideas directly shaken!
To be honest, Bai Youwei came here today just to try his luck. Feng Yi was too young, and it was easy to investigate Feng Yi's background in Yangcheng. He had never heard of anyone Feng Yi had learned this skill from. Even if he had found someone to learn the identification skills after leaving the Feng family, it had only been a few years.
Even the appraisal masters or professional teams they hired with decades of experience were unable to make accurate identification without damaging or directly touching the snake bone chain!
Feng Yi's identification method was completely beyond their comprehension, but it truly revealed the temperament of a master!
Is this the expert
With one talent in one thing, your skills are one level higher than others!
Bai Youwei was not worried that Feng Yi would cheat him. He had asked someone to identify them before, and he knew which sections of the snake bones were suspected to be fake or not from the same individual.
Feng Yi finally picked out five, and then, according to the original skeletal composition of a snake, he adjusted and corrected the wrong sections.
Feng Yi also relied entirely on instinct in all these actions.
The kind of instinct that knows what's wrong at first glance, looking at these snake bone shapes is as easy as looking at a row of number blocks that are not arranged in order!
Feng Yi moved his hands back and forth above the jade chain. With one hand, he hooked up the jade that was in the wrong position, and with the other hand, he gently piled up the jade chain somewhere to make room for it.
The speed was too fast for ordinary people to follow. Even if they could follow, they would be completely unable to react. They could only hear the light sound of the jade stones hitting the table as they fell again.
The father and son of the Bai family looked at Feng Yi with the same look.
What a master!
When identifying a snake bone, I actually found out the aura of the Sparrow God fighting for supremacy!
despair!
The last jade stone fell.
Feng Yi exhaled silently, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"It's over!"
Bai Youwei and Bai Jing: “?!!”
Bai Jing looked at the table, then at the cup of tea in his hand. He just blew on the tea and didn't drink it yet, but the appraisal was already completed
Is this what Feng Yi meant by "identification is more troublesome"?
Bai Youwei was speechless for a moment, staring at Feng Yi for a while before asking, "Didn't you say that this matter is more troublesome and will take a little longer to identify?"
"It's a little long." Feng Yi said. It's been more than a minute!
Seeing that the two were still stunned, Feng Yi took off his gloves and said, "Okay, if you don't believe me, you can find someone to check it again. If what I said is right, remember to pay me."
