Chapter 911: Ask for help
Zhong Jinxian muttered: "These stones can't be bought by someone as Tianhuang Rough Stone, right?"
Meng Zitao felt that this possibility was still quite high, and for some novices, it was normal not to be able to distinguish between the two, and the number of Lao stones in front of him was not much, and they seemed to perform well, so it was relatively easy to deceive some newcomers.
"Do you still want to buy it?" Tian Mengmeng was so angry that she was angry when she saw that her brother was still hesitant.
Tian Shangyi said with some confidence: "I just think it's good, I should be able to make money." ”
Tian Mengmeng was angry: "I can see it, you just hit the south wall and don't look back, okay, you want to buy it, I can also lend you the money, but if you lose, you will never be allowed to touch the gambling stone, okay?"
Tian Shangyi immediately agreed, which made Tian Mengmeng a little surprised: "You're not perfunctory to me, are you?"
Tian Shangyi said with a smile: "How can this be, in fact, I don't like gambling stones very much, but I heard that there is such an event here today, so I came to play." So I can guarantee that as long as I lose, I will never touch this business again. ”
"Okay, you can write a guarantee. Tian Mengmeng still didn't worry about Tian Shangyi.
"It's just a thousand dollars, as for it. Tian Shangyi said speechlessly.
Tian Mengmeng sneered: "You don't want to write, right, I'll tell my parents when I go back, you lost gambling for the little star today." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll write, I'll write it. Tian Shangyi looked helpless, so he had to write a letter of guarantee.
After writing the guarantee, Tian Shangyi couldn't wait to buy the stone he fancied, and planned to solve the stone.
"Would you like to go and see it together?"
"The ghost is going to see it with you, needless to say, it will definitely not end well. Tian Mengmeng sneered.
"It's bad luck to have a sister like you. Tian Shangyi muttered.
"What are you talking about!" Tian Mengmeng glared.
"Nothing. Tian Shangyi ran away as soon as he slipped away.
Tian Mengmeng let out a long breath, and then hit Zhong Jinxian next to him twice.
Zhong Jinxian looked innocent: "Why are you beating me?"
"This is my own brother, can't you think of a way to make him change his ways?" Tian Mengmeng said depressedly.
"Our parents can't do anything, what can I do? Besides, heart disease needs heart medicine, and if he wants to return to normal, he must be cured. Speaking of this, Zhong Jinxian looked at Meng Zitao next to him.
Meng Zitao also reacted quickly, and immediately pushed it away: "Hey, don't look at me, I can't cure this thing for heart disease, you better ask for another master." ”
Wang Mengmeng didn't force it, and sighed: "Hey, I hope he can be normal in two years." ”
"Haha, Jinxian, long time no see. ”
At this time, a hearty laughter came, and Meng Zitao looked in the direction where the voice came from, the owner of the voice was a middle-aged man with a rough appearance, and with his hearty voice, it gave people a first impression of doing things vigorously.
However, Mencius's intuition told him that this person should not be simple, and it was likely to be the opposite of his appearance.
Although Zhong Jinxian has opinions about Fan Qiao, he definitely has a little bit of the city government, and he is not so bad as to show the disgust in his heart, and he greeted Fan Qiao kindly.
was saying polite words, but saw Tian Shangyi coming over angrily, Tian Mengmeng wanted to gloat and say a few words to him, but heard Tian Shangyi say: "Mengmeng, lend me some more money!"
Tian Mengmeng's face sank: "Do you want to gamble on stones again?"
Tian Shangyi was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want to either, but what Du Zhaoyi said is too annoying, I don't fight for this, I swear not to be a person!"
"What did he say about you?" Tian Mengmeng knew Du Zhaoyi, this person was also a gentleman, and he often competed with his brother and was jealous, and even had a fight, and the two were incompatible. To say that although her eldest brother is a bastard, she has rarely seen her brother angry like this, thinking about what Du Zhaoyi just said, it must be very ugly.
"He said I ......" Tian Shangyi thought of Du Zhaoyi's words scolding him, and he was a little crazy: "Don't say it, sister, just say that you don't support me!"
"What are you going to bet on him?"
"Gambling stones, see who chooses the material to be able to gamble. ”
"You don't know how to gamble on stones, you bet with him?" Tian Mengmeng wanted to scold again.
"He doesn't understand either. Tian Shangyi said weakly.
"How do you know he doesn't understand?" Tian Mengmeng asked rhetorically.
"If he understands, how can there be a gambling stone master by his side? Speaking of which, I am really stupid, why didn't I think of asking a stone solving master to help me choose in advance. Tian Shangyi patted his head, very annoyed.
Tian Mengmeng said: "Also, if you invite a top gambling stone expert to come over in advance, isn't it a sure win?"
Zhong Jinxian said with a smile: "How can it be so simple as you say, people know that you brought a gambling stone master over, so it's okay not to gamble with you." ”
"Yes. Fan Qiao nodded and said: "If you let a person who can gamble on stones and those who can't bet on stones, it will be too unfair, so they generally choose to bet, and everyone will explain in advance whether they will bet on stones." ”
"So I think it's a bit of a hassle for such an event. Zhong Jinxian shook his head, if it were him, he would definitely not set up such a game in the clubhouse, everyone came to play to have fun, it would be boring if it was too troublesome.
Fan Qiao smiled bitterly: "This activity is actually an idea that Xiaoqi came up with, and when I learned about it, she had already notified and implemented it, and I could only make a mistake." ”
"This guy is really a papaya brain. Tian Mengmeng said sarcastically.
Fan Qiao just smiled, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all.
At this time, Tian Shangyi urged again: "Mengmeng, you can help me, I will invite the gambling stone master, I will definitely let out this evil breath!"
Zhong Jinxian said with a smile: "There is a great god in front of you who you don't worship, and you go to find someone else, you deserve to gamble or not." ”
"Where is the great god ......" When Tian Shangyi saw Meng Zitao, he suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about Brother Meng?"
Tian Shangyi was a little skeptical about Meng Zitao's level at first, but thinking that this was what Zhong Jinxian said, and the other party was Zheng Lao's disciple, the level of gambling stones would definitely not be bad, so he immediately changed his smiling face again: "Brother Meng, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, help, how about it?"
Tian Mengmeng interjected: "You said to help you, what good is it to help you?"
Tian Shangyi said: "As long as I can win, the jade that comes out of the money and reconciliation will belong to Brother Meng, and I just need to save face." ”
Tian Mengmeng sneered: "You have done a lot of business without capital. ”
Tian Shangyi said: "If you lose, I will pay you back." ”
"What's the stake between you and Du Zhaoyi?" asked Tian Mengmeng.
"One million!" I heard a grinning voice next to me, it was Du Zhaoyi who came over with someone.
"I'll settle accounts with you later!" Although Tian Mengmeng disliked her brother very much, at this time, she would still give her brother some face, and did not scold again: "Brother Meng, I want to trouble you." ”
"Small meaning. Meng Zitao smiled, and then said to Tian Shangyi: "How to bet for a while, who will choose first?"
"I'll choose first. Du Zhaoyi smiled: "No way, who let me guess the boxing just now to win? To be honest, Tian Shangyi, you are really a weak chicken, I feel that I can't win if I win you." ”
Tian Shangyi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be complacent too early, do you think you've won?"
Du Zhaoyi spread his hands: "Just with this expert you invited, do you need to talk about the final result?"
"Do you know Brother Meng?" Tian Shangyi was a little strange, otherwise how could Du Zhaoyi be so sure?
"Could it be that he didn't choose the piece of material just now?" Du Zhaoyi asked rhetorically.
"I'm really sorry, I chose the piece of material just now, and Brother Meng asked me not to choose, if only I listened to him. Tian Shangyi laughed, it seems that Du Zhaoyi made a mistake.
"Uh......" Du Zhaoyi was stunned, but looking at Meng Zitao's age, he put his mind at ease and invited the expert he invited ......
"Master Fang, what's wrong with you?"
Master Fang came back to his senses and said to Meng Zitao, "Your Excellency's surname is Meng, I don't know if you know Qin Maungsheng?"
"Of course I know, you are his friend?" Meng Zitao nodded, at this moment, his attention was on the bracelet that Master Fang wore on his wrist, because the mother bead of the bracelet was made of ink dragon jade, and there was also a dragon carved on it.
Master Fang said, "Yes, the master hopes to bet again the next time you meet, I wonder if you are willing?"
"No problem. "Send money to yourself, it's strange that Meng Zitao didn't agree.
Master Fang smiled: "Okay, I'll convey it to the master." So let's get started now, I'll go first. ”
"Please. Meng Zitao politely stretched out his hand, thinking in his heart about how to get the mother pearl.
Master Fang walked a few steps and turned back again: "By the way, we are betting on Khotanese white leather, don't make it into jade wool." ”
"No problem. ”
Meng Zitao's expression was not shocked, which made Master Fang a little disappointed, and said in his heart, this guy's psychological quality is really good enough, and he is so calm.
"What does this guy mean?" Tian Shangyi was a little unclear.
Zhong Jinxian said: "He probably thinks that Zitao has little experience in betting on white leather." ”
"That's right, Brother Meng, you won't be studying the Jade Gambling Stone, right? Tian Shangyi began to feel uneasy.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as he is not the best piece of the material chosen, he will definitely not be able to win me." ”
"Let's hope we're lucky. Tian Shangyi clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky: "The gods and Buddhas of the heavens must bless us to win!"
Seeing Tian Shangyi like this, Tian Mengmeng was really angry, and she really wanted to beat Tian Shangyi happily.
After a while, Master Fang chose a piece of white leather, and Du Zhaoyi said beside him, "Master Fang, do you want to pick again?"
Master Fang shook his head: "The white leather materials here are all unsatisfactory, this is already the best piece of it, and it will only take your eyes to choose again, and it will not be half useful." ”
Du Zhaoyi was a little worried: "But didn't you say that kid is very good at gambling stones?"
Master Fang smiled: "If I bet on jade with him, my loss will definitely be bigger, but if it is Khotanese white leather, I believe he will definitely not be able to compare to me, unless he is a demon." ”
"What if he is indeed a demon?" Du Zhaoyi said.
"Then what's the bet, just admit defeat. Master Fang said, "Moreover, you don't have to raise the morale of others too much. ”
Du Zhaoyi smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Meng Zitao also selected the wool, and the group walked towards the place where the stone was solved, compared to the silence on Du Zhaoyi's side, Meng Zitao talked and laughed throughout the whole process, as if he had won.
Since there was someone next to him to solve the stone, there was only one stone dissolving machine left empty, so Meng Zitao made a gesture: "Master Fang, please first." ”
Master Fang was not polite, walked directly to the stone dissolving machine, and put the rough stone on the platform.
In the jade industry, people will pay more attention to the traditional transaction of "gambling stones", but in fact, Khotanese jade is the first to use "gambling stones" for trading, with the soaring market of Khotanese jade in recent years, the industry and Khotanese jade "gambling stone" activities are becoming more and more active.
The "gambling stone" of Khotanese jade is generally called "gambling meat". The Khotanese jade rough is divided into three layers, the outermost layer is a weathered shell, called the skin, which is different due to the different places where it is buried. There is an inner layer of inner skin in the outer layer, also known as fog, or "lake". The inner skin is the essence of jade, commonly known as "meat". What people generally gamble on is the "meat" wrapped in the weathered skin.
In addition to gambling on "meat", you can also bet on the color. In addition, there are bets on seeds, mountain materials or mountain water materials, etc., and so on.
The jadeite gambling stone is mainly achieved by rubbing, cutting and grinding. It's similar to the Khotanese jade gambling stone, but the material here is not very good, and it can't be wiped out of any fame, so Master Fang directly chose to cut it.
Choose the right position, draw the line, success or failure is in this knife, with a burst of piercing ears, a piece of jade was cut off.
As soon as they looked at the cut noodles, Du Zhaoyi and Master Fang both smiled, looking at the situation was not bad, but if they looked closely, the meat was there, but there was stiffness inside, and Master Fang "chuckled" in his heart.
Then I cut it deeper, and the meat was there, but the meat quality was too poor to work at all, and in the end, I was able to "unload eight pieces", barely able to produce something, which was already a blessing.
Looking at a very large piece of material, in the end, only the jade the size of an adult's thumb was solved, and the quality was relatively poor, Du Zhaoyi's face began to be gloomy, but he also knew that he couldn't blame Master Fang for this matter, the uncertainty of gambling stones was too great, otherwise there would not be the sentence "one knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife wears linen".
Master Fang said: "Du Shao, don't worry, the piece of material he chose is a little worse than mine, and the result is likely to be even worse than mine." ”
"I can only pin my hopes on luck, but why am I so awkward in my heart?" Du Zhaoyi muttered.
"I'm sure our luck won't be bad. Master Fang smiled and said in his heart: "These gentlemen are just difficult to serve, if I knew this, I should have pushed this errand away!"
