Chapter 55: Glass Species
"How much does this stone cost?" I said, gesturing to the black black sand rough on the counter.
"Hmm... This list price is 200,000. The administrator held out two fingers and quoted a price that surprised everyone around him.
"200,000 yuan? You just went and grabbed it? This piece of black sand stone didn't even open a window, I know what was inside?
"Uh... This is the price, and I'm just responsible for collecting and managing the money. The administrator looked aggrieved.
"Deal!" I was just about to lift my leg to leave, but Yun Zhongjin put his arm on my shoulder, and directly took out a small black card and handed it to the administrator.
"Brother Yun, what are you?"
"I believe in your vision, isn't it just 200,000, a little money~" The rich man is tough when he speaks.
After paying, I picked up the rough stone and walked towards a small, translucent house not far away. A few people behind us also followed, obviously wanting to see what could be cut out of the 200,000 wool.
Walking into the room, I saw a white-haired old man with a professional huge cutting machine behind him. Tsk, this face, atmospheric.
"Stone cutter?" the old man didn't lift his eyelids, just looked at the stone in my hand.
"Well, yes. The old man looked kind, but he didn't know what his temperament was.
"Hey... Nowadays, people know that they are opportunistic, what is this foolish? I think I can compare with those experts? I have no experience and I still want to try my luck here, look at the person just now, one out of five pieces of wool, or a piece of jade with a very poor water head. Hey..."The old man spoke in a northern tone, and he didn't forget to rub his shoulders to loosen his muscles and bones during his conversation.
Without further ado, I handed the stone in my arms to the old man.
"Young man, how much did you pay for this stone?" the old man seemed to have a lot of strength, and when he asked me, he threw the stone he was holding in his hand up to weigh it.
"Two hundred thousand. "There's nothing to hide, as much as you want.
"Tsk, it's a bit of a loss, but it's okay. Unlike the person just now, each piece is tens of thousands, or such a small piece, and the head is squeezed to buy that kind of defective product. As he spoke, the old man set up the stone and fixed it under the cutter.
Listening to the tone of the old man's voice, he can know that he is the kind of person who has something to say and has no scruples. This kind of person is real, and he doesn't play tricks.
"Cut?" asked the old man, who put on a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and touched the stone skin.
"Wait a minute!" I grabbed a pen from the shelf next to the room and drew a line over a third of the stone skin.
"Cut from here. β
Suddenly, the old man raised his head violently, and a pair of clear and bright eyes met mine. The eyes were bright, not at all like what an old man could have...
"Young man, don't be in a hurry! It's better to do things gradually. From here, if you are not careful, it will lead to very serious consequences!" However, I am confident enough.
"Hehe, old man, of course I know that. You just have to cut it, and I'll bear the consequences myself. β
With a piercing sound of stone cutting, a piece of stone was cut off in its entirety, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. The facet peels off, revealing a new section, revealing a little green light under the thick stone powder.
"Damn!
I don't know who made a foul remark that startled the four of us.
Immediately after, an excited shout came from behind him. I saw the caretaker standing in the doorway, dumbfounded, with his mouth open. I smiled in my heart and stopped looking at him.
When the old man saw this scene, his eyes suddenly flashed with a strange luster, and he was quite excited, so he hurriedly picked up a dry cloth on the side and dipped it in water to carefully wipe off the layer of stone powder on the section.
When the stone surface is completely clean, it is like a beautiful girl who has been stripped of her clothes and appears to everyone. Looking at the stone surface, a palm-sized area, a glassy water green, everyone gasped.
"Glass species!"
I smiled in my heart, I didn't expect that there were still some knowledgeable people here. Among the jadeite, the glass species is respected, and the price of such a large area of glass jadeite can rise to the sky.
Watching the old man's hands wiping the stone face trembled slightly, staring at the stone face and muttering to himself.
"It's been ten years, and I'm finally able to see it again!" the old man's face was full of excitement, and he ran over and held my hand tightly, "Young man, can you let this stone be cut by the old man?"
Looking at the old man's gaffe, I smiled faintly. People who gamble on stones love stones like life. Among them, there are more stone cutters, cutting beautiful jade all over the world, just to see its beauty.
It is clear that the old man is the latter.
"Please. I reached out and made another incision about fifteen centimeters into it, and drew a horizontal line. This horizontal line is triangular with the incision.
The old man did not continue to cut the stone, but put the cut stone chip into the water and washed it, and found that there was not a trace of green on the stone surface. The stroke just now has reached a state of perfection, with no more or no less.
"It's amazing!" exclaimed the old man, "what a stroke of genius the gentleman!"
"Hehe, the old man praised it falsely. β
Immediately afterwards, the old man began to cut the stone again, and at this time, the sharp noise of cutting the stone became an extremely beautiful natural sound in everyone's ears. Everyone is looking forward to the next result.
After a long wait, the old man finally finished cutting. A section of ten centimeters fell off the stone face. Everyone's eyes focused on the powder-covered stone face, dotted with green light.
"Out of here!" the people around looked extremely excited.
The old man's eyes had already flashed, and he quickly wiped the stone dust off the surface. Another touch of glassy water green appeared in front of everyone...
"Come with me, young man. The old man took my arm, picked up the jade wool that had opened two windows, and walked to one of the rooms inside.
I looked back at the three of Lintong behind me, nodded, and followed behind the old man.
In this room, the light is extremely dim, but the light is very well concentrated. The cooks on both sides of the room were filled with all sorts of tools, and I don't know what they were for.
"Old man, you areβ" I don't understand, he's bringing me here for my safety, or...
"Young people. What's your name?" the old man walked over to a round hardwood table, put the stone down, and heard a dull voice that made my heart chuckle suddenly.
"Don't give your surname Handan, Handan. β
"Oh, Handan. The old man's name is Fu Shui. The old man turned to me. In his eyes, I couldn't see a trace of waves, just a stagnant calm.
"Old Fu. This is an honorific title for the elderly, and the other party will not feel uncomfortable hearing it.
"Handan Xiaoyou, dare to ask how many years have you been in the industry?" he said about gambling stones.
"I'm new to the industry. β
