Chapter 5 Ginger Marks Cut Stones
In the Gambling Stone City, in front of a gambling stone shop, there were more and more onlookers, all of whom stared intently at the piece of green wool under the shop owner's hand, as if they had forgotten even the blink.
Under the gaze of everyone, the boss saw the position and cut it off. The cut out part peeled off, but what was revealed was still a yellow and white stone, and there was not a trace of green.
"How can this be?" said Mr. Peng, who was still smiling and proud, his face suddenly froze there, and he said blankly. After a period of silence, Mr. Peng shouted loudly: "Cut deeper, there must be jade in it." ”
Until now, only a little bit of stone has been removed, and one side is all green jadeite, and the other side is all yellow and white stone. The crowd of onlookers, including the shopkeeper, couldn't say how much jadeite could be cut out of this basketball-sized wool.
Knife after knife cut, one by one, the corners of the wool were peeled off from the top of the wool, but from the first time a whole piece of green appeared, there was no longer a trace of green. But that Mr. Peng's face was a little angry.
Jiang Zhen looked at the wool that was already a circle smaller, and shook his head, at this time Jiang Zhen had already determined that the value of this jadeite that could be cut out of wool the size of a basketball would probably not exceed 100,000. The less stone skin is wrapped outside, the more vigorous the aura will be when it escapes, but this piece of wool is a large circle smaller, and Jiang Zhen was stunned and did not feel the slightest change in the increase in aura.
"If I don't cut it now, I can buy it for 1.3 million. The shopkeeper looked at the frustrated and angry Mr. Peng and asked.
Until now, the owner of the store is not very optimistic about this piece of wool. However, if you buy it, you will definitely be able to make more money, and the shopkeeper wants to buy it not to cut out the jadeite himself, but to continue to sell the wool at that time, with such a large piece of green jadeite exposed, it must be able to sell for a price higher than one million.
"Sell it, you can still make 300,000 yuan by selling it now, if you don't cut out more jadeite after a while, then you will lose all your money." Someone from the onlookers kindly suggested.
"If you don't sell it, who said that Lao Tzu is going to sell it. Cut, keep cutting, I don't believe I can't cut more jadeite. That Mr. Peng was a stubborn temper, and after yelling at the persuader, he asked the boss to continue cutting the wool.
"Okay, if you want to cut it, you can cut it. Seeing that he was still going to cut it, the shopkeeper shook his head and continued to cut as he asked.
Knife after knife, onlookers just want to be excited, and they don't feel anything. That Mr. Peng's face became worse and worse, looking at the piece of wool that he had high hopes for, as if he was cutting his heart with a knife.
Five minutes later, Mr. Peng was already pale on the ground. Except for the thin layer of jadeite that was left over from the previous cut, there was no trace of green jadeite.
It cost a full million, but it was bought back something worth less than fifty thousand. A table of waste rock. Mr. Peng looked at the stones on the table, and suddenly made a fuss in the store as if he was crazy, saying that he wanted to get back his million. But in the end, he was thrown out of Gambling Stone City by the security guards.
But after a while, after watching the farce of losing all their lives, the people gradually dispersed, and the front of the previous shop gradually returned to calm.
However, Jiang Zhen did not leave this gambling stone shop, because Jiang Zhen sensed a relatively strong aura here, and Jiang Zhen knew that there were more valuable wool here. This is also the reason why Jiang Zhen, who is not used to watching the excitement, has not left.
Jiang Zhen walked into this shop, sensing the faint trace of aura that escaped from it. Slowly browsing through the dazzling array of goods, in addition to the wool stacked on the ground, there are also many small and delicate jadeite products on the glass shelves around them.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw that someone had not left and walked in, he immediately began to step forward and greet Jiang Zhen warmly: "This little brother, I just saw that you were also watching from the sidelines, and I knew at a glance that you were an expert, and it is rare to see a young gambling stone expert like you." ”
As soon as the owner of the shop came forward, he praised him violently, and no one knew whether he thought so in his heart.
"Thank you. Although I felt that this boss's praise was a bit too fake, but he reached out and didn't hit the smiling person, Jiang Zhen still said thank you.
"I wonder what you want?" asked the boss.
"I also want to buy some wool and try my luck. Jiang Zhen walked over to the wool stacked on the ground and said while touching the wool.
"Buy wool, come to me, you're in the right place. A lot of the wool on my side is old pit stone, and there is a great possibility of cutting out jadeite. There are many people who have cut out priceless jade jade ...... me," the owner of the shop said, gushing on the side.
Jiang Zhen gently touched each stone with his hand a few times, and from time to time he would pick up some wool to look at it and pretend to be. The shopkeeper snickered in his heart when he saw Jiang Zhen's movements: "It seems that I have met a young man who doesn't know how to pretend to understand." ”
Those who have just gambled on the stone industry are also afraid of encountering veteran connoisseurs, although with the current technology, it is impossible to find out which piece of jadeite is cut, and which piece cannot be cut out of jadeite. But some veteran connoisseurs can see at a glance that the odds of selection are very high. Buy all the good wool in one store.
Soon, Jiang Zhen had already selected the wool he wanted.
The boss looked at the wool in Jiang Zhen's hand, and he had no desire to continue to introduce. I saw Jiang Zhen holding three pieces of wool in his hands, and they were all leftovers cut when cutting stones, which was the most worthless wool.
Jiang Zhen came here to make money, and there were more than 20,000 yuan left on his body. I couldn't afford the larger leftovers, so I had to choose three smaller ones.
"Boss, these are the three pieces, how much is the total?" Jiang Zhen asked with three pieces of leftovers.
"I said, young man, this is the leftovers cut by others when they were gambling on stones, and it is difficult to cut out jadeite at all, so you better not buy it." After Jiang Zhen came in, a few more people came in, and one of the seventy or eighty-year-old old man saw that Jiang Zhen wanted to buy leftovers, and kindly reminded him.
"Thank you grandpa for reminding me, huh...... However, I thought that only the inside should be able to cut out the jadeite, so I decided to buy this. Jiang Zhen pretended to hesitate for a moment, and finally decided to buy three pieces of wool.
"This is leftovers, it's not worth a few dollars, so I'll charge you 10,000 yuan. The boss said.
"That's ten thousand dollars, you count. Jiang Zhen took out a wad of money and handed it to the boss, completing the transaction.
"Boss, can you borrow your tools and let me cut them? Jiang Zhen asked again.
"Okay, it's over there, you can cut it yourself. For these three leftovers, the boss was not interested in it at all, and just asked Jiang Zhen to cut it himself.
Jiang Zhen came to the table where he had cut the stone earlier, picked up his tools and began to cut the stone. Although there are few stones, the cut stones still attract the attention of several people in the shop.
Jiang Zhen relied on the thickness of the aura he felt, and cut a piece of leftover material in three or two clicks.
"Wow, you can really cut out jadeite, it's amazing. One of the bystanders exclaimed. The four-petal stone skin peeled off, revealing a piece of turquoise jade half the size of a palm.
Jiang Zhen did not have the slightest, in addition to the lack of money, there is also a reason because these three pieces of leftovers are small but the aura is very strong, indicating that the jadeite inside is very high.
"This piece of jadeite is transparent, pure, and it is a high-quality jadeite. You're in luck, young man. The old man who had just kindly reminded Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen looked at the old man and smiled slightly, and then continued to pick up the other two pieces and began to cut them.
At this time, even the boss, who was not interested in the past, came forward to watch.
