Chapter 28: Gambling Stones

The ghost market is located in the LC area of Tiandu, although it is the LC area, but it is not the kind of old, dilapidated, dirty and messy place, on the contrary, there are very old buildings everywhere, and they are all well preserved, it is a very famous ancient city tourist area. It's even more crowded than the city centre, and many people from the neighborhood visit on weekends to browse the specialty shops and snack shops along the road.

And the ghost market is just one of the streets, there are many shops selling antiques on this street, almost all of the shops are genuine, and there are even identification certificates issued by experts, their main customers are those who love antiques or just hold antiques to dress up for literature and art, the price is inflated and exaggerated, a bottle at the end of the Qing Dynasty dares to offer a price of millions, in fact, it is only tens of thousands or even thousands of dollars.

Of course, these small stalls are not so formal, most of them are deceptive fakes, and many tourists also know that they just buy a gadget with the intention of having fun, of course, sometimes there are really good things, it depends on whether you have the eyesight to find it.

Antiques are the things made by craftsmen in ancient times, the most famous is the many porcelain made by the official kiln for the royal family, almost every piece is perfect and genuine, even without the same kind, any flaw will be ruthlessly smashed, of course, there are many defective products outflow, even if it is a defective product is a priceless treasure.

Antiques are so valuable, not only because of their beauty, but also because they have artistic value.

In addition to the stalls selling antiques, there are also many stalls selling jade, jade is completely different from antiques, jade is all natural, almost no artistic value, but the beauty of jade is still sought after by the public, the best jade is also priceless.

And the most common way to play jade is gambling stones, this is the most thrilling, it is even more exciting than gambling, it is really a knife heaven and a knife hell, many people who want to make a fortune by gambling stones, in the end the number of bankrupt people are countless.

"There are a lot of genuine products here. "When Chu Yang entered the ghost market, he immediately felt the existence of aura.

There was much more aura in the surrounding air than in other places, and as Chu Yang had heard, real antiques often contained a lot of aura because of the accumulation of the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of heaven and earth. But the place where the aura is strongest is still the big shop on the street, after all, there are more genuine products in it, but Chu Yang can't afford those things, so his eyes are still focused on these small stalls to see if he can find some good things from them.

At this time, he saw a stall not far away full of people, and from time to time there were bursts of regret, and sometimes there were exclamations, but rarely, Chu Yang was immediately attracted and walked over curiously.

I saw that there were round stones on the stall, some large and some small, stones of similar size were stacked together, and there was a cutting machine next to it, and a large stone was already placed on the cutting machine, and the stall owner operated the cutting machine quickly, and the stone was cut from a third, and as the stone was cut, everyone made a regretful sound.

"Do you still cut it?" asked the stall owner, looking at the buyer.

"Cut!"

This time the stone was cut from the middle, but still nothing was seen, the buyer was sweating in a hurry, he spent thousands of dollars on these jades, this one is the last one, the first few pieces did not come out of anything, if this piece does not come out again, it will cost thousands in vain.

"Cut, keep cutting! The buyer continued to let the stall owner cut the stone into smaller pieces, but nothing came out.

"It's so bad luck that nothing came out, and thousands of dollars were lost. ”

"It's nothing, someone spent tens of thousands, no, nothing, gambling stones, gambling stones, gambling stones, ”

Hearing the discussion of the people around him, Chu Yang realized that this was the legendary gambling stone, he had only heard of it before, and had never seen it with his own eyes, it turned out that the jade was actually made from these rough stones that looked no different from ordinary stones, if there was no skill, it was really just gambling, no wonder some people said that gambling stones were more terrible than gambling.

A few more people wanted to try their luck, but only one person opened a piece of miscellaneous jade, which was not worth anything at all.

Now no one dares to try, come here to buy jade are basically tourists, don't know how to gamble at all, just want to rely on luck to make a windfall, and this stall owner is shrewd, if you can really produce a good jade rough, he can sell it here, I'm afraid it has already been opened by himself, the jade here is what he picks left, basically can't come out of good things.

"Boss, how do you sell these small stones?" Seeing that no one bought them, Chu Yang looked at the fist-sized rough stone in front of him.

"Young man, this kind of stone can't open things, these are leftovers, I recommend you to open a big rough stone, a big one can open a good thing, if you are lucky, open a large piece of jade, it is directly worth millions, more than buying lottery tickets. The boss saw that someone wanted to buy again, and suddenly smiled on his face, and recommended it endlessly, the big ones are valuable, the small ones are not worth much, only someone asks, he must recommend someone to buy a large piece, before the person was fooled by him to spend thousands of dollars, this kind of money for people who don't know anything is the best deception.

"No, I'll just buy this and play with it. Chu Yang knew that this was the boss's routine.

"Fifty yuan a piece!" The boss's enthusiasm has greatly decreased, just a few thousand yuan in hand, and he can't look down on these small dollars at all.

"Okay, I'll just ask for these pieces. Chu Yang randomly selected a few rough stones from the pile of stones, and then paid for it, and the stall owner pointed to the cutting machine next to him, meaning to let Chu Yang cut it himself.

When he encounters such a person who is unwilling to spend money, he is too lazy to do it himself.

Chu Yang didn't say anything, he went directly to the stone cutter, directly cut the first piece, and there was nothing, and then he cut the second piece, and there was still nothing.

"I said it, this kind of leftovers, how can it be possible to open jade, let you buy a big one, I don't believe it. "In order to show his professionalism, in order to continue to fool people to buy big rough stones,

"It's shipped, it's really shipped. The onlookers next to him saw the third rough stone cut by Chu Yang, and there was really jade in it, and it turned out to be jade.

Although the quality is not good, fifty pieces can produce jadeite, which is already a great value.

"It's really out. The stall owner was shocked, the ugly face was, just now he said that he couldn't open anything, but now he really opened it, walked over and took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's worth a few hundred yuan, your luck, if you buy a big rough stone, you will definitely be able to open a jadeite worth hundreds of thousands." ”

Chu Yang smiled slightly, just now he had already noticed that not only the antiques contained aura, but also the aura in the jade was more abundant, after all, the formation of jade took hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years, and the aura contained was naturally much more than that of antiques that were only a few hundred or thousands of years, the reason why he chose to buy a small one was because he found that there was a small rough stone, which contained a lot of aura, dozens of times more than some of the larger ones, if he only bought the one with the most aura, he would definitely be suspicious, so he deliberately selected a few, and now the one with the most aura has not been opened, so he is not in a hurry。

Chu Yang continued to cut two more, this time there was nothing, and now only the last one remained, which was the original stone with the most aura.

"Young man, you're not out of luck, one out of five, why don't you buy some big ones? The stall owner saw that Chu Yang was about to finish, and came over again to start selling.

At this moment, Chu Yang cut the last piece, this time just cut a little, there was already an emerald green powder splashed out, the stall owner gasped when he saw it, this emerald green color, could it really be that he opened the best jadeite.

As the rough stone was cut in half, everyone was stunned, and the stall owner was completely dumbfounded.

"Jadeite, the best jadeite, glass species, young man, you are too lucky. ”

"There are at least 100,000 pieces of glass for such a large piece. ”

Although Chu Yang doesn't understand jadeite, he has also heard of glass jadeite, and it is very valuable.

"If you are willing to buy it, I sold it for 100,000 yuan. "It's useless for Chu Yang to ask for this kind of thing, he just wants to get some money, so that he can buy some antiques next.

"I want 100,000 yuan. ”

"Then I'll pay 110,000 yuan, and the young man will sell it to me. ”

In the end, Chu Yang left the scene with 150,000 in cash, he really wanted to buy those good things now, he had just passed by an antique shop, and noticed that the spiritual power in it was extremely abundant, needless to say that there must be treasures in it, he now walked directly towards the store.

The people in the antique shop saw that it was a child who came in, and they didn't bother to deal with him at all, they were mainly facing those rich people, what can this kind of little kid buy when they come in, it is difficult to treat this place as a small stall outside, thinking that they can buy an antique for a few dozen yuan.

Chu Yang naturally didn't bother with them, he was now concentrating on the thing that exuded a rich aura, and soon, his attention was attracted by some ordinary-looking Jade Buddhas, and he unconsciously walked over there.

"Hey, what are you doing, this is an antique store, not a jewelry store, you want to buy jewelry and go outside. The clerk saw Chu Yang walking inside, and quickly stopped him, every antique here is worth a lot, if he breaks one, he will be unlucky.

"I'm here to buy antiques. Chu Yang said.

"Buy antiques, I don't know how much antiques you want to buy, we don't have cheap ones here. "The clerk had a very bad attitude.

"It's only about 150,000, you can see if there is a suitable one. Chu Yang said, although 150,000 is not much, but this store is not big, and the aura contained in the antiques inside is also very rare, and they are all some antiques that are not very valuable.

"This classmate, what kind of antiques do you want to buy, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea and pick it slowly. Hearing 150,000, the clerk's attitude immediately changed, the most expensive in her store was only about 200,000, and 150,000 could almost buy most things.

"No, I think these jades are very good. Chu Yang pointed to the jade carvings in front of him, which were scattered and piled together, all of them were some jade Guanyin, jade Buddha or something.

"Classmate, you really know the goods, these are the jade Buddhas carved by XJ Hetian jade, and they are all opened by the master, people can not only keep peace, but also nourish the body, especially suitable for giving away. If you really want to buy it, I will make it cheaper for you, 10,000 yuan a piece, and there will be a discount if you buy more. The clerk knew that the boy in front of him had money, so he directly offered a sky-high price.
