Chapter 9: Imperial Green
Zhang Xu stood in front of a pile of gambling stones, and Yang Yangming and Li Qiang were a little nervous by his side. Wang Zhendong and Tianyan Liu stood not far away, looking at Zhang Xu with disdain. Behind them, the crowd of onlookers had long been blocked.
There is no way back, but Zhang Xu is still calm.
Tianyan Liu smiled and said to Zhang Xu: "Don't say that I bully the small with the big, let you choose first." ”
Zhang Xu was not polite, and nodded in agreement. But he didn't immediately reach out to choose, but stood there motionless.
Whispers began to come from the crowd of onlookers: "Can you choose a good rough stone by standing still?"
"Shut up! You know the shit, there's a lot of water in this road. The other retorted.
"Okay, I'm going to see what this kid can do!"
Three minutes passed, five minutes passed, and Zhang Xu still stood still.
Most of the people around him had already shown a look of disdain at this time, but they didn't know that Zhang Xu had already made a judgment on the aura emanating from these gambling stones during this time, and he was already clear about all the gambling stones.
Wang Zhendong sneered at this time: "What, you kid won't be stupid, right? It's too late to admit defeat now!"
Yang Yangming was also a little nervous, quietly touched Zhang Xu's body, and glanced at him with inquiring eyes.
Zhang Xu nodded lightly at Yang Yangming, and finally stretched out his hand.
In the middle of a pile of stones of different sizes and characteristics, Zhang Xu took out a stone that looked completely indistinguishable from ordinary pebbles.
Zhang Xu grabbed the stone and handed it to Yang Yangming without looking: "That's it." ”
Yang Yangming took the stone and was stunned.
The crowd of onlookers blew up at this time.
"Hey, I said it a long time ago, this kid is a mallet who doesn't know anything. The onlookers who began to say "the water is deep in the road" saw Zhang Xuxuan's stone and immediately changed their tone.
Others also laughed: "Hahaha, if I close my eyes and blindly touch a piece, I won't touch a pebble to fill it." ”
Wang Zhendong laughed twice and asked, "Boy, have you made a good choice?"
Without waiting for Zhang Xu to answer, Li Qiang beside him couldn't hold back anymore, so he pulled Zhang Xu over and persuaded in a low voice: "Cousin, why don't you hurry up and choose another piece?"
Yang Yangming also came back to his senses at this time, turned the stone in his hand, and asked Zhang Xu in a low voice: "Are you sure about this stone?"
Zhang Xu could ignore what others said, but he helped Yang Yangming get ahead, so he still responded to him: "Brother Yang, do you believe me?"
Yang Yangming groaned for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Then he shouted to Wang Zhendong: "We have chosen, it is this gambling stone, you can choose." ”
Wang Zhendong laughed and said: "Don't say I haven't given you a chance, remember to take good care of my car, and then send it to me." ”
After saying this, he turned to Tianyan Liu beside him and said, "Mr. Liu, please." ”
Tianyan Liu shook his robe, took a step forward, first swept all the gambling stones with his eyes, then took out a stone, touched it with his hand, and quickly put it back again. After repeating this, there was finally a stone that Tianyan Liu looked at for a long time, and finally handed over this stone to Wang Zhendong.
Seeing the gambling stone selected by Tianyan Liu, the knowledgeable people in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim, "Good eyesight." This made Wang Zhendong more and more proud.
Yang Yangming and Wang Zhendong's strength is not small, and the two sides have a gambling contract, and after choosing the gambling stone, it is naturally Sister Deng who comes forward.
Sister Deng saw the gambling stone selected by Tianyan Liu, and also praised Tianyan Liu's eyesight, and the stone was finally sold at a price of 100,000 yuan. As for the stone selected by Zhang Xu, Sister Deng couldn't bear to offer a price when she saw it, but only symbolically charged 2,000 yuan.
The gambling stone has not yet opened, Zhang Xu's side has already fallen behind, whether it is the owner of the antique shop or the onlookers, at this time they already feel that there is no point in opening the stone. Li Qiang has already begun to think in his heart, how should he make up for the other party's affairs after Zhang Xu made Yang Yangming's loss ugly this time.
After the gambling stone was delivered, Tianyan Liu handed the gambling stone he selected to the jade master, and he judged the value of the jade material inside after cutting the gambling stone.
The jade master took Tianyan Liu's gambling stone, looked at it, and couldn't help but comment: "It should be a good thing." Then he carried the gambling stone to the sawing table.
A knife went down, and sure enough, I saw green. When it was completely cut, everyone saw that although the jade color was slightly white mist, the whole piece of jade was the size of a fist, and it was worth a lot.
The jade master finally gave an estimate of 500,000 yuan.
Waiting to pick up the pebble-like gambling stone selected by Zhang Xu, the jade master glanced at it suspiciously and asked, "Is this useful?"
As soon as this sentence came out, there was laughter all around.
Someone laughed and said, "What else is going on, this kid is absolutely finished." ”
Another person coaxed: "Of course it's going to be opened, who hasn't seen a gambling stone, but who has ever seen a pebble?"
This sentence caused a group of people to shout in unison: "Open, open, open!"
At this time, Yang Yangming and Li Qiang were flushed, and their faces were completely unbearable. Yang Yangming yelled angrily: "Shut up for me!" The crowd quieted down a little.
Yang Yangming looked at Zhang Xu with a complicated expression, and he still said calmly: "Open!"
Wang Zhendong also said sarcastically: "Open, why don't you open it." Open this stone, but also let everyone have a long eye, not a roadside pick up a stone can be called a gambling stone. ”
The jade master smiled helplessly and began to cut very casually. As soon as an opening was made, a rich green color had already penetrated through the gap in the opening, and the jade master was taken aback and hurriedly operated carefully.
"it!, Imperial Green!" someone couldn't help but shout.
"What? How is it possible to bloom imperial green?"
"Imperial green" is also known as "emerald", although you can still see a lot of emerald jade in the antique shop, but they are all antiques passed down from generation to generation. With the passage of time, it is now quite rare to see the raw materials that can be mined. When the people around heard this voice, they all squeezed forward, poking their heads out to see the style of "imperial green" jade.
The jade master saw that what came out of the knife turned out to be the legendary imperial green, and hurriedly stopped cutting, but carefully removed the outer skin, for fear of losing a little.
In the end, in this "pebble" of less than a kilogram, a piece of imperial green jade material the size of a walnut was opened.
The crowd was completely blown up.
"What kind of shit luck did this kid take, he was able to choose the Imperial Green Gambling Stone casually!"
"No! I'm going to buy pebbles too!" someone rushed out.
Some people also calmly sneered: "It's really unstoppable when luck comes, if it weren't for the fact that this stone is too small, it would be sky-high." ”
Because the gambling stone selected by Zhang Xu is less than a kilogram, and the jade material that comes out is not large, although it is the best imperial green, it is only estimated at more than one million in the end. But even so, it was the stone that won the Tianyan Liu steadily.
Tianyan Liu and Wang Zhendong's faces were already extremely ugly at this time. Yang Yangming said with a smile: "I'm sorry, picking up a stone on the side of the road seems to be more reliable than any Tianyan." Wang Gongzi, do you plan to transfer the two million in cash or by transfer?"
Tianyan Liu heard Yang Yangming mock himself like this, and said with a red face: "What are you proud of, isn't it just that the blind cat hit a dead mouse?"
"Not convinced?" Yang Yangming sneered. He was already full of confidence at this time, with this stone with a valuation of more than one million, plus the 500,000 stone that Wang Zhendong lost to himself, even if he didn't bet on the two million, he was confident to play. Therefore, he continued to mock: "If you are not convinced, let your master compare again, I am afraid that he will be weak and can't afford to gamble!"
Wang Zhendong had the heart to refute it at that time, but this time the result was still a little weak, he looked at Tianyan Liu and asked, "This kid really relies on luck?"
Tianyan Liu gritted his teeth and replied: "The gambling stone industry still relies on experience and eyesight, this kid is not very old, and he doesn't even look at it when he chooses a stone, he definitely has a good luck! Wang Shao, if there is another game, I guarantee that they will definitely lose!"
Wang Zhendong nodded: "Okay, I believe in Mr. Liu's eyesight." ”
"Yang Yangming, do you think I can be afraid of you?" Wang Zhendong shouted to Yang Yangming: "The gambling contract remains the same, we will come again, whoever instigates is the grandson!"
"Okay, come on. Yang Yangming agreed calmly this time.
