Chapter 12 I bet you're a scrap
Zheng Li was unwilling, but he didn't even dare to let go of half a fart.
The gate of the parking lot opened, and the group drove into Taohuawu.
With Enron's emotional intelligence and communication skills, when she had the heart to make friends, the scene quickly became warm, and the previous conflict seemed to have never happened.
Lawson and Enron walked side by side, smiling and smiling.
Zhang Dongjian and Zheng Li followed behind, one of them was covered with blood and the other was bandaged, and it was unexpectedly harmonious to stand together.
Entering the main entrance, the corridor is extremely narrow and long, and the decoration style of carved beams and paintings makes people feel as if they have traveled to the period of the Great Yan Dynasty.
When you get out of the corridor, the interior space has been carefully created by the designer, showing the appearance of a paradise - small bridges and flowing water, fish playing in the water, and willow branches.
The overall style draws on the dry landscape shape of the Ryukyu Kingdom, creating an infinite natural charm in a limited space.
Even if it is a big man from Yanjing, when he enters Taohuawu for the first time, he has a dizzying feeling.
Zhang Dongjian looked left and right, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and the temperament of the soil buns was exposed.
But Rosen's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
He has seen the universe, the waves of all worlds, and the infinite vastness, so how can he care about a small man-made landscape?
After passing through the landscape, you will come to the Guanyu Hall.
Here, it is not only a banquet hall, but also a place for gambling stones.
Located at the junction of the Great Yan Kingdom and the Emerald Country, Baicheng is a trade hub connecting the two countries. The most famous goods in the Emerald Country are the jadeite rough.
As we all know, when the jadeite rough is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered stone skin, and it is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite, and the quality of the jadeite must be known after cutting.
This has led to a business - gambling stones.
A few hundred broken stones may produce millions of jadeite, and millions of rough jadeite stones may also produce worthless garbage.
One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears a rag.
The charm of gambling stones attracts countless people to participate in it.
And the most important business operated by Taohuawu is gambling stones.
At this time, in order to welcome the third lady of the Qi family, the Guanyu Hall had been arranged into a banquet hall.
In the center of the lobby is a long table for Western-style buffets, which is filled with delicacies for guests to take at will, while on both sides of the lobby, there are large and small jade rough stones.
When Lawson and the others entered, the banquet had already begun.
Celebrities from all walks of life gathered in a small circle with each other, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and some people took a fancy to a certain stone, so they bought it casually and asked the master to open the stone on the spot.
The third lady of the Qi family is also picking stones.
She heard that the jade country recently produced a football-sized jade rough, known as the stone king, and all the old jade guests who have seen it say that this stone is very likely to bloom the best imperial green!
You know, a 50-gram imperial green pendant is worth millions, if this stone king, really bloomed imperial green, it is a priceless treasure!
It's a pity that after she came to Baicheng, she learned that the situation in the jade country has not been good recently, the two gangs of smuggling snakes have fought hard, the original smuggling channels have been broken, and the stone king can't be transported back to China for a while.
She had no choice but to pick some rocks to play with first, and wait for two more days.
An Ran walked straight over, hugged Qi Yue's forearm very affectionately, and asked with a smile: "Sister Qi, how is the harvest tonight?"
"Sister An, why did you come," Qi Yue didn't resist, her expression was both disgusted and happy, "I picked a stone by myself just now, and it turned out to be a full crack, so annoying!"
Qi Yue is only eighteen years old this year, young and beautiful, with a face full of collagen, and when she laughs, two small dimples will appear at the corners of her mouth, giving people a particularly sweet feeling.
She was wearing a pair of denim cropped pants, a T-shirt with a chubby pattern, and chubby's eyes were particularly large.
Her long black and thick hair is curled into a simple long ponytail, no powder, and there are no expensive decorations on her body, she looks like the most ordinary girl next door.
With Qi Yue's status, in Baicheng, a small border city, there is no need for any superfluous objects to embellish.
Everyone in the audience, those celebrities from all walks of life wearing gorgeous costumes, everyone knows that this Miss Qi San is the protagonist of today's dinner.
She was accompanied by a young man and an old man.
The young man's eyes were sharp, and the muscles hidden under the suit were subtly accumulating, maintaining a state of vigilance that could explode at any time, and at first glance he was a martial arts master at the level of dark energy.
The old man wore a loose short robe, and he was in good spirits, although he was old, he did not look old, and he was not an easy person.
An Ran said with a smile: "Gambling on stones, a common thing, my sister picks another piece? ”
Qi Yue said happily: "Then thank you, sister." ”
It's just a rough stone, just a few hundred thousand, whether it's Enron or Qi Yue, it's not bad for these dollars. An Ran wanted to invite, and Qi Yue happily smiled, which was a signal that the two sides were releasing goodwill to each other and hinting at their willingness to make friends.
Rosen just smiled and stood aside, not speaking.
Qi Yue thought that Lawson was Enron's person.
And Enron thought that Rosen was Qi Yue's guest.
As a result, no one cared about Rosen, an impostor, and it went well...... If only that were the case.
The old man glanced at Rosen a few times, and a hint of suspicion appeared imperceptibly on his face, as if he had doubts about Rosen's identity, and his lips quirmed, wanting to say something.
How shrewd was Rosen? He didn't give the old man a chance to open his mouth to speak, and said first: "Miss Qi, why don't you let me recommend a few rough stones?" I have a little research on gambling stones, and the chance of success can barely reach nine out of nine." ”
An Ran was surprised: "Little Brother Luo, do you still know how to gamble stones?"
Rosen smiled lightly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”
The old man's face was difficult to look at: "Young man, you are careful when you speak, and you are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?"
No one thought to doubt Rosen's identity, and the exaggerated success rate of nine out of nine shifted everyone's attention to the jade rough.
Rosen smiled: "If the old gentleman doesn't believe it, we might as well compare?"
Qi Yue giggled: "Classmate, we are the old man in Xiuwen, but we have the reputation of golden pupils, and there are countless jadeites that have bloomed in our lives, if you compare with him, should I say that you are better confident or arrogant?"
Lawson shrugged: "Try it." ”
He came to Taohuawu this time to borrow Qi Yue's momentum!
But he will never say to Qi Yue openly, "I want to take refuge in you."
Human nature is cheap, it is difficult to cherish what is sent to the door, and what you ask for will be a treasure.
Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Wollongong, but through various ways, his reputation spread all over the world, so he had Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house; if he begged to follow Liu Bei, he would definitely not be so quickly reused by the big-eared Liu.
Today, Lawson wants to be public, show off, and exaggerate as much as possible! Let Qi Yue beg to be her guest!
"Hehe, compare with me," Yu Xiuwen was despised by others, and couldn't help but get angry: "Okay, then try it, young man, how do you say you want to compare." ”
"Well...... Rosen pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Old man, that stone, you like it, right?"
What Rosen pointed to was a piece of jade rough on Yu Xiuwen's right hand, the top of the stone had already rubbed a ten-centimeter-long window, and the window was full of green, and the water head was excellent.
Yu Xiuwen said: "That's right, I have already bought this stone, judging from the performance of the window, the texture and head of this piece of material are of the highest quality, this knife must be cut up, it depends on whether it is full of material." ”
If it is full, it will be a big increase, and the price will increase at least fifty times.
"No, no, no, this stone is not as good as you think," Rosen smiled and waved his hand: "I bet you this stone is a scrap!"
Scraps?
The stone that the old man is optimistic about, but you say it's a scrap?
Although everyone present was well-educated, they still couldn't help but change color on their faces - where did you pop up bastard, you are here to find fault at all, right?
