Chapter 2: The Doorway
"Xiyan, that poor boy is your friend, why do you treat him so well?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of friend, my father's son is a worker, his brother stabbed someone to death by gambling with a stone, and was sentenced to death, but his brother still owes my father money, and he doesn't want to pay it back, of course my father doesn't agree, why? ”
"Didn't you just promise him?"
"It's not up to me to have the final say on this, hehe, I'll just call him later and tell him that my dad doesn't agree. ”
"That is, this kind of poor person just can't get used to it, and the more he gets used to it, the more he kicks his nose in the face. ”
“......”
My heart was like a knife, my fists were clenched tightly, and my heart felt as bad as eating.
I suddenly thought I was ridiculous, this is what I thought I was a friend, and I didn't look at what I was in the eyes of others.
, slander that I don't want to pay back?
Tears rolled in my eyes, but I didn't cry in the end, I don't blame her, I can't blame her, it's only right to pay back the debt.
I have one thought in my mind now, return the money and cut off with Wang Xiyan's family!
I left, and as soon as I arrived at the teaching building, I received a call from Wang Xiyan.
She said embarrassedly, "Han Fei, I'm sorry, I had a big fight with my father, and he still didn't agree." ”
I sneered and said lightly, "Oh, if you don't agree, forget it, within three days, I will return the money to you." ”
After saying that, I hung up the phone, I won't trust this hypocritical woman anymore.
50,000 yuan in three days, there is only one way!
That's the gambling stone.
I'm going to gamble anyway, I don't want to go to jail, I can't go to jail!
That night, I set off for Ruili with all my net worth of 1,600 yuan.
After getting off the bus, go straight to Gambling Rock Street.
I went to the store where my brother opened the Ice Blue Jade a few years ago.
Excluding the fare, I only have 1,200 yuan on me.
And the cheapest stone, there is no less than a thousand dollars, I only have one chance, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent!
But I'm sure that after my brother died, I spent a long time studying the notes he left behind.
When I arrived at the shop, at ten o'clock in the evening, when my sister was at the most crowded, there was the sound of machines cutting stones everywhere, and I didn't find the sound harsh at all, but rather wonderful.
I made a beeline for the rough area.
Inside are different shapes and colors, strange stones, I used to see the price of stones, I will definitely disdain, now I know, those jadeite worth tens of millions are cut from these rough stone wool.
Rough stones are big and small, sold by weight, and I remember my brother's notes saying that the largest rough stone I have ever seen weighed several tons.
Gambling on stones is a science.
If you can get rich by picking a random stone, you can't call it a gambling stone.
My brother wrote three thick notebooks just to be able to increase the success rate, and it was impossible to do it every time.
I took a deep breath and started my first trip to the stones......
My mind was full of ideas of a jack-of-all-trades, which were actually very unrealistic, but I had no choice but to gamble!
The gambling stone must first choose the "field entrance".
The field mouth is the specific place name, mine name or pit mouth of the jadeite material stone mined, and the appearance of the jadeite stone wool at the mouth of each field is the same and different, and the quality is also high and low.
There is a jargon "I don't know the field, I don't play gambling." ”
Identification of the field, to infer the texture of the rough wool is of great help, if the characteristics of the stone produced by the field is not familiar, it is difficult to recognize the gambling stone, want to ship that is really all by luck.
Naturally, I can't rely on luck, and what has happened in my house in the past few years has made me no longer believe in my luck, and I have been unusually careful in selecting the rough stones.
Gambling on the stone "nine times out of ten", I always remind myself that there is only one chance, I can't be reckless without full certainty, and I always think about my brother's fate.
Eventually, I chose a stone with a triangular garlic shell that I could hold with one hand.
I can see at a glance that this is the bottom stone of Houjiangchangkou, also called the bottom stone, the skin is thin, the wax shell is complete, and the bottom chapter is very full, especially this garlic color, white and red, as long as the crack is small, a gamble will rise.
But in fact, this kind of stone is not uncommon, it is recognized in the industry as a strong gambling stone, everything that is recognized, there is a high probability that it is rotten on the street, and it is impractical to expect shipments with this standard.
But the reason I took a fancy to this stone was that it had ringworm and pine flowers.
Ringworm refers to the black, gray, and light gray marks on the skin of the rough stone wool, with veins, dips, and lumps, and ringworm is an important sign to distinguish whether a stone is green or not.
The difference is that if the "ringworm" has not gone into the stone, entered, and eaten the green, it is gangworm, otherwise, you can try to gamble.
The ringworm on this stone is "ringworm", as the name suggests, ringworm is like a pig's bristle and pierced into the stone, this ringworm is extremely destructive and can penetrate deep into the stone.
It stands to reason that this is a typical ringworm, but by chance, there are pine flowers on the stone, which are the same color as the stone, and it is difficult to spot.
Some color patches, patches, and bands like dried moss are faintly visible on the surface of the rough stone, called "pine flowers".
"Pine flower" refers to the traces left by the green color on the original jadeite raw material, which has gradually lost its color after weathering.
The pine flowers on this stone are ribbon-shaped, in fact, the pine flowers are a very confusing judgment standard, sometimes the larger the pine flowers, the more colorless they are, and the line is called "flowers eat green".
But it is the "bristle ringworm" and this white ribbon pine flower, more than 90% of which is outstanding.
I believe in my brother's research!
I clutched the stone tightly, walked out of the rough area, took it to the checkout, and it had just cost 1,150 dollars, and I only had 50 dollars left!
If this stone is "ghost material", I can't go back!
After paying, I ran to line up to cut stones.
There are many people who cut stones, and the air is full of the smell of stone powder, and I have heard that the most common disease of the master who cuts stones is lung disease.
But now I think it tastes so sweet, a lot like the smell of money.
At this time, the master of the camera next to him suddenly shouted, "Out of here, bright green!"
As soon as the master's words came out, more people gathered around and talked about it.
"Ouch, golden silk seed, see you for the first time this month. ”
"The basin is so big, five million is the base, see if it's dirty inside. ”
"What is dirty, I can't see any evil at all. ”
“......”
I saw the boss holding a cigar in his mouth, smiling with wrinkles on his face, and then told his men to start making red envelopes and setting off firecrackers.
Like Boss Wang and my brother at the beginning, they were full of spirit.
I thought to myself, this custom hasn't changed in decades......
But I still envy him very much and hope that one day I can be like this boss.
I looked at his stone, which was bright green, and then at the stone in my hand, which was a little small.
But I don't feel ashamed of myself, gambling stones are like this, as long as I ship and get through this most difficult level, sooner or later I will soar into the sky.
Originally, there were many people in front of me, but there were several "stones and stones" in a row, and the color did not change at all, causing many people behind me to give up.
So it was coming to me soon.
I cautiously gave the stone to the master, but the master threw it twice, looked at it casually, and said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "What do you want to do?"
I know that the master doesn't look down on my little stone, he has cut more stones than I have ever seen, but I am not annoyed, and I dare not be annoyed, in the process of gambling on stones, the master who is responsible for cutting the stones is very important.
When you are full of confidence and choose an almost perfect stone, just because the master is unprofessional or the master sees you unhappy, his hand shakes, and the jade inside is broken, and you directly fall from heaven to hell.
But in the end, the master who opened the stone had no status, and he didn't dare to offend those big bosses, so he bullied and bullied a little white like me.
I pointed to the porcine brown ringworm at the bottom of the stone and patiently said, "Let's start with the ringworm." ”
The gambling stone is specifically achieved by rubbing, cutting and grinding.
"Rubbing" is a very old method, safe and effective, make a wipe on the stone, and then you can look inside, judge the depth, width, shade of green, and then decide whether to cut or something else.
"Cutting" is the most critical step in the gambling stone, and it has been circulating in the industry: "Rubbing up is not an account, cutting up is considered to be rising".
The stone is divided into two with a knife, and where to cut it from and how to cut it are all exquisite.
When the first knife is cut and the color is missing, the second knife and the third knife are needed.
And "grinding" is also very saying, the grinding stone is for polishing, showing all the transparency, so that people can see the color and water.
There are also two kinds of grinding stones, one is the dark bet, also called the hazy gambling, the stone does not have any stone cutting, rubbing the traces of the stone, and there is no natural fracture;
Hearing this, the master weighed the stone, and said with a displeased face, "Little briquette, cut it off." ”
It is clear that the master is not willing to waste time on such small stones.
I hurriedly said, "Don't, you're small, how can I get out if I cut off the cui?"
The stone is small, and the emerald is not big, this knife goes down, and any emerald can be cut for me, and it must not be cut!
The master smoked a cigarette when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly, "There are so many rotten things for little children." ”
Then he prepared the tools unhurriedly, and I could see that his movements revealed impatience, but I didn't rush him.
But at this moment, a rough voice sounded behind me, "Master, cut it for him." The egg-sized stone is still rubbing, rubbing you, Mom?"
