***********
The next day, Lin Yue woke up from his dream and came to the restaurant under the hotel to find that He Youzang was already there.
"It's early. Lin Yue casually pulled a chair and sat opposite He Youzang.
He Youzang just let out a faint "en", didn't even raise his head, and continued to eat his own.
Lin Yue called the service staff and ordered his own meal. After the food came up, Lin Yue asked, "Are you still going to Jade Street today?"
Hearing this, He Youzang raised his head and glanced at Lin Yue lightly, then lowered his head and continued to eat.
Lin Yue touched his nose in embarrassment, he understood the meaning in He Youzang's eyes, his words were indeed nonsense, where to go if you don't go to Jade and Jade Street, you came here to gamble on stones.
For dinner, Lin Yue and He Youzang came to Jade and Jade Street again, just like yesterday, the two separated at the entrance of the street, and still agreed to meet here at six o'clock in the afternoon, as for the noon meal...... In He Youzang's words: the mouth grows on yourself.
Looking at He Youzang's indifferent back, Lin Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, he felt that the other party was not so indifferent in his heart, it seemed that he just didn't know how to communicate with others. Maybe it's because I used to deal with jadeite wool when I was a child.
Lin Yue thought of He Lanyue, the little devil, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, these brothers and sisters are just diametrically opposed personalities.
What a fun family!
Lin Yue shook his head and continued his journey. This time, he went straight to the place he had visited yesterday afternoon and continued his walk.
He casually came to the outside of one stall after another, glanced at it and continued to walk forward, there was no good wool. There are so many wool materials in Tengchong's Jade Street, and there are not a few good wool materials, Lin Yue can't help but be a little disappointed. He also knew that there were thousands of wool materials, and it was not enough to open jadeite, but he still wanted to be able to see one at a glance, which was quite greedy.
Lin Yue walked a few more stalls, and found that the wool materials that performed better were all fiddling with the hands of the people who watched the goods at the stalls, and he couldn't intervene at all. This line can't grab the goods, if someone sees a piece of wool, others can't grab it, unless the other party doesn't buy it to bid, even if you see 100% of the jade in it, you can only stare dryly.
No way, that's the rule.
Anyone has to comply.
Although gambling stones are said to be gambling, they need better rules because of gambling. Just like this jade and jade street, millionaires are everywhere and there are really few local thieves, because once the thief is caught, his hands will be cut off, even if the police come. So no one dared to come to the thief.
Lin Yue learned these things from He Youzang, and he was also amused by yesterday's caution in his heart.
Lin Yue walked casually, and suddenly found an unkempt person in a corner, his whole body was very dirty and oily, and he was still wearing thick clothes on a hot day, as if he didn't know hot and cold at all, very much like a beggar, and like a nervous person. His eyes are blank, his face is full of dust, he can't tell his age, and he is always gesturing with something in his hand, which seems to be a knife cutting action.
Seeing such a person, Lin Yue felt compassion in his heart, and a sympathetic look appeared on his face.
So Lin Yue walked up to a stall selling wool, pointed to the person in the corner and asked, "Who is this person??"
Seeing the direction of Lin Yue's finger, the stall owner sighed heavily and said, "No one knows who this person is, but he has been on this street for some years, and the people who sell wool on this street know him." He was delirious, and if it weren't for the people here giving him some food every day, he would have starved to death. He...... Alas, don't say it!"
The stall owner waved his hand at Lin Yue, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Do you know why he became like this?" Lin Yue asked.
"You know, everyone here knows that there are many people who gamble, and he is not the only one who is crazy, and he doesn't know the pain if he is crazy. The stall owner's expression was full of sighs.
"Can you tell me about it?" Lin Yue asked, squatting down.
The stall owner saw that Lin Yue was so young, so he sighed and said, "Seeing that you are so young, I will also teach you a lesson, originally I, a wool seller, should not say it, after all, this industry only spreads gambling and does not spread gambling." ”
Subsequently, the stall owner told the story of a few years ago in detail:
"This person came here nine years ago to gamble on stones, but with all the belongings, there should be hundreds of thousands, he stayed here for a month before choosing a piece of wool, and as a result, he cut it down with a knife and cut it down, and lost his family, and this knife also cut his nerves, and since then he has become a little nervous, and he has been drawing the action of cutting stones in his hands, and he can't take care of himself anymore. No one knows where he came from, nor does he know what is going on in his family, but he has been on this street for more than ten years. ”
Speaking of this, the stall owner paused for a moment, sighed and said: "This is also a living example of gambling failure, everyone who comes here to gamble on stones will see him, but no one takes it as a warning, there are almost every day in the past ten years, there are not a few people who are bankrupt, there are also suicides by jumping off buildings, it is good to be delirious like him, it is good to live! Young man, you are still young, gambling stones are too deep in this business of gambling stones, you are young and strong and find other jobs to live a peaceful life, isn't it very good? Why gamble on stones? I've been on this street for more than 20 years, and I've seen a lot of people, so listen to my advice, this line is too deep and not suitable for you. These words are not appropriate for me to come out of the mouth of a wool seller, but I am telling the truth. This line is too deep......"
Lin Yue could hear the meaning of the stall owner's sincere exhortation between the lines, and sighed in his heart.
Not all businessmen are profiteers, at least not the one in front of you.
Lin Yue couldn't tell the other party that he had an undefeated ability, but the stall owner's words went deep into his heart, except for him, who dared to say that he had been in an undefeated position in the gambling stone industry, and several jade kings didn't dare to say it.
Knowing the risks of gambling stones, he stepped into the gambling stone market like a moth to a fire, perhaps with the psychology of getting rich overnight, or for the sake of wealth and risk.
However, is there anything wrong with finding a job steadily?
Lin Yue has always been in a state of subsistence and clothing, he feels that his life is sufficient, he doesn't understand why those rich people have so much money but ask for more. He doesn't understand them, and they don't understand him.
Lin Yue glanced at the person who was still slashing in the corner, his heart was full of sympathy, and his compassion rose again.
He nodded at the stall owner: "Junior, thank you for the reminder, there is something I want to ask you, do you know the phone number of the nearby welfare home?"
Welfare?
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Yue incredulously and asked, "What do you mean...... Send him to a welfare home?"
