Chapter 26: Gambling Stones

Sorry, I haven't changed it recently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info is not in good health, and he said that he didn't save the manuscript. If you like it, collect it first, and post a post to prove that I have someone to be motivated.

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning. Li Shenglin met Huang Haibo who was going out on the first floor of the hotel, was surprised, and said hello to Huang Haibo: "Brother Bo, get up so early." Huang Haibo saw that it was Li Shenglin, and said with some distress: "Brother, I can't help it yesterday." I can't control myself when I get drunk, I didn't do anything rude yesterday. ā€

Li Shenglin smiled and said that it was okay: "Brother Bo, you didn't do anything, you just drank too much and talked a little too much." Yesterday he just pulled me to talk all the time. Huang Haibo patted his head, it seems that he must have said something that shouldn't have been said yesterday. "I'm sorry, brother, sometimes men just can't control their mouths. ā€

Li Shenglin kept smiling and saying he didn't mind. Huang Haibo put his mind at ease, and immediately reacted to why Li Shenglin appeared here. "Shenglin, where are you going so early?" happened to meet Huang Haibo, and Li Shenglin was worried that he couldn't find anyone. "Brother Bo, I want to go to Ruili, do you have a car here? I want to find a car to go by myself, if I take a bus, I probably won't be able to come back at night." ā€

"I don't have a car here, I'll borrow a jeep for you and the crew. The crew rented several military off-road jeeps this time, not only pulling equipment, but also giving people a seat. There should be two or three more cars to spare, so I'll make a call. Huang Haibo didn't shirk and thought of a way for Li Shenglin.

"Thank you, Bogo. Li Shenglin said. Huang Haibo waved his hand while hanging up the phone to signal that he was not polite, and within two minutes Huang Haibo hung up the phone: "Shenglin, it's done." The director said that he would ask the assistant to drive the car to the door in a while, you wait here first, brother, I will go out. ā€

Li Shenglin said goodbye to Huang Haibo, and after a while, he saw a green camouflage jeep drive to the door of the hotel. After the handover, Li Shenglin drove onto the highway. There is no GPS in these years, at least not in China, it is useless to have it, there is no equipment and no route, Li Shenglin can only ask all the way and drive, the original two-hour journey is three and a half hours.

Finally drove to the jade rough market, Li Shenglin opened the door and got out of the car and scolded in his heart, knowing that he would not come if he was so troublesome. Anyway, I don't lack jadeite, why do you suffer from this crime.

But if you come, you will come, and if you come, you will be safe. It was already noon when I arrived at the sister market, and I got up early in the morning, I didn't eat anything, and now I'm a little hungry. There are no people in the market now, and Li Shenglin is not in a hurry, so he just found a stall on the side of the road and ordered a bowl of noodles.

In fact, there are flavored rice noodles here, but the rice noodles are seasoned with special ingredients sprinkled with batches, and the so-called sprinkling is the undigested mucus in the large intestine of the cow. Li Shenglin was really grateful for this thing, and he wasn't even interested in tasting it.

After a while, Li Shenglin's noodles came up.

In addition to noodles and vegetables, there is a large piece of pork ribs, there is basically no animal protection law in Myanmar, and the pork ribs in the bowl are wild boar ribs. The taste is good, although the taste is a little worse, and the meat of wild boar has another flavor than domestic pig, but it is hard to bite.

Li Shenglin was not in the mood to taste it carefully, so he ate the noodles directly, and took two bites of the pork ribs casually and left. When I entered the market, I was surrounded by stalls of jadeite rough stones. It seems that it has just rained here, and the surrounding ground is wet, and Li Shenglin has not seen raindrops along the way, but this is also normal in Yunnan.

There are few customers, and the store is not much interested in taking the initiative to attract customers, many of whom are Burmese, and they cross the border to get some jade wool to sell. Li Shenglin walked a few casually, and he didn't use any good wool, the real jade tycoons are all purchased in Myanmar, and the state has not supervised and controlled this aspect in 03.

After a few years, the regime in Myanmar is turbulent, the output of jadeite rough has declined, and the price of jadeite has risen, constantly breaking the highest price in history, and the country cannot help but be blushing at this tax. It's just that this has nothing to do with Li Shenglin, Li Shenglin is not a jade businessman, he just wants to gamble on a few pieces of jade wool by luck.

Li Shenglin turned around to see if anyone was cutting stones. As a result, Li Shenglin was disappointed, there were only a few people in the entire sister market who were rubbing stones, and as soon as he looked at the skin of the stone and the expectant expression of the owner of the stone, Li Shenglin knew that the layman who was purely looking forward to getting rich overnight did not end well.

The time was close to noon, and the number of people had gradually increased, during which Li Shenglin picked a few small stones, and the skin color and texture were good, but unfortunately almost all of them collapsed. Li Shenglin didn't bother to take it back, so he sold it directly on the ground. Now he's still wandering around, even if he doesn't buy it, it's good.

I saw that there was a screeching noise similar to the rotation of a chainsaw everywhere in the sister market, and there were excited shouts from all directions, which was really lively.

Li Shenglin turned around twice more and came to a stall. The stall owner was a teenage girl, Burmese, and Li Shenglin talked to the little girl in a few words of Burmese that he only knew. It may be that the little girl was a little excited to see that Li Shenglin was handsome and could speak Burmese, so she started talking about sex.

Li Shenglin can really speak a few words in Burmese, and as soon as the little girl speaks, Li Shenglin will be blinded. The little girl talked for a long time, but she didn't speak when she saw Li Shenglin, and when she raised her head to look at Li Shenglin's ignorant expression, she found that Li Shenglin didn't know Burmese. The little girl was a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and said in completely non-standard Mandarin: "What does the guest want to buy?"

Li Shenglin looked down at the stones on the stall, and to be honest, it didn't look very good, so this stall was empty. He just wanted to take a casual look, but he was twittered by the little girl, and he was a little embarrassed to leave directly.

Li Shenglin picked a piece of black material weighing about five kilograms, the shape is relatively neat, and it is a must-bet material in the industry, and she has the best here. "Can you cut stones here?" asked the little girl.

"Yes, yes. The little girl nodded hurriedly, and beckoned the shopkeeper to come out. The shopkeeper is her father, a middle-aged man who is not tall and has dark skin, he looked at the material after he came out, and asked Li Shenglin: "The guest has selected it? This piece of material is not big, count you 2,000 yuan." ā€

This price is not black, Li Shenglin happily gave the money and began to cut stones. The shopkeeper put the stone on the shelf in the open space next to it, went into the house and took out the electric stone polisher, and asked Li Shenglin where to start cutting. The previous few pieces collapsed, and Li Shenglin didn't have any expectations for this, so he let the shopkeeper cut it casually.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to cut it casually, so he first spent a line at the fifth of the edge, put it in position and pressed it down on the stone cutter.

The shopkeeper cut a little, then stopped, and briefly swept the crumbs, and the shopkeeper looked at it. Seeing that the shopkeeper stopped the machine, Li Shenglin also stepped forward to take a look, and was stunned at a glance. The shopkeeper also turned his head to Li Shenglin in surprise and said, "The water is good, if it can be green, it will definitely rise." ā€

Only one-third of the height has been cut, and you can see that the water inside is very good, and it is possible to rub the ice seeds in the back. The bustle here also attracted some people to come and see, and some people saw that the material was better, and stood nearby to watch the shopkeeper continue to cut the stone.

It is human nature to join in the fun, there is a person to watch, ten people will attract ten people to watch, ten people to watch will attract more people to watch, this has not made any big noise, there are more than ten people standing around, and the owner's daughter is also curious to stretch out a little head to watch.

The "snap" cut off the stone fell from the shelf, and Li Shenglin and the people around him couldn't help but step forward again to see if there was any green. The shopkeeper simply swept the dust twice with his hand, took out a small spotlight from his waist, and shone it twice.

Li Shenglin is the owner of the stone, and he also took out the flashlight prepared in advance and shone it twice, and the shopkeeper didn't say anything after taking the picture just now, so he retreated, and when he saw Li Shenglin looking at the stone, he went directly into the house and brought a basin of water.

Li Shenglin took two photos with anticipation, and his heart was cold. From the perspective of light transmittance, the water is indeed very good, but it is still gray and abrupt below, and there is no sign of green. It's really blind to this kind of water, judging from the part that has been cut, it is very likely that there will be ice material behind, but if it is gray and abrupt, it is worthless, and there is no sign of green at all from now on.

The people around also saw the situation of the stone, and they all sighed in disappointment: "Collapsed, collapsed." "The others who didn't come forward heard that they were broken, and they lost even interest in looking at it. Half of the people joining in the fun were reduced in an instant, and only a few people who stayed with Li Shenglin without giving up.

The shopkeeper walked out with a basin of water in his hand, and asked Li Shenglin hesitantly: "Do you still cut it?" "Cut, why don't you cut it, it's less than a third." Li Shenglin said without giving up. In fact, the possibility of cutting down to produce green is only high, not low, and the fact is indeed as Li Shenglin said, there is not much cut yet.

Li Shenglin said to cut, the shopkeeper poured some water on the cut surface of the stone, and after seeing that there was still no sign of green, he was ready to continue cutting. "How much will you cut this time?" asked Li Shenglin. Li Shenglin pondered for a moment, "Let's take a knife in the middle this time." ā€

Well, the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say to Li Shenglin: "Guest, your piece of material doesn't look bad, and it's common for you to not cut out the green just now, but if you want to cut it in the middle, if it comes out of the green next, it may be cut down." ā€

Jadeite is the bigger the better, because the bigger it is, the better it can be used by the carving master, and the remaining leftovers can also be used to make small things such as interface pendants. Conversely, can you pull out a bracelet out of something like the ring?

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Li Shenglin also calmed down. "Look at it, you have more experience than me. Li Shenglin decided how to cut it next to the shopkeeper, from just now the shopkeeper is a steady person, he will not easily go to the knife, and all the shopkeepers will not dare, if it is because the master who cut the stone is broken, the value of the jadeite will be very harmful, and the reputation in this piece will stink, and no one will dare to let him cut it in the future.

The shopkeeper was more cautious, and drew the position as big as he had just now and began to cut again.

Listening to the sound of the stone cutter magic stone, Li Shenglin suddenly had an idea in his heart, if this is not green, it would be good to have another color.

Contrary to Murphy's Law, Maxwell's Law tells us that if we look at things optimistically, we will also be optimistic about the results that will appear.

Li Shenglin didn't know why this idea came to him, or it could be a subconscious expectation, but after it came out, the feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he stared at the stone on the stone cutter with both eyes, without blinking.

Judging from the cut just now, a considerable part of the color will not be produced after that, and the shopkeeper is much more decisive in cutting the stone this time than the first time, and in less than twenty minutes, the stone cutting is completed again. The shopkeeper splashed water and then used his flashlight to probe again.

Li Shenglin stood still as if his feet had taken root, but the people around him who were watching the excitement had no psychological pressure, and they all stepped forward to see what the stone cut out. Li Shenglin kept praying in his heart: "Come out of color, out of color, any color, as long as it's not gray." ā€

Lee looked up at the sky with his eyes closed, the sun shining on his face making his face look as if it was radiant. Li Shenglin was apprehensive, so he heard someone shouting over there: "Out, out." It's red, it's a very strong red. Hearing this, Li Shenglin immediately opened his eyes and walked in three steps and two steps through the crowd.

Between the stones, a bright blood-colored glow shone brightly, dazzlingly bright. This is the best rooster comb red in the red jade, and the imperial green in the jadeite is a grade, relatively speaking, the jadeite is mostly green, and the red is almost none, which makes the best red jade even more priceless.

This is not only the emperor in the red, the water is also very good, if the ice species is reached, such a pair of bracelets is worth about one million yuan, and it is also the price of 03 years, and the price of jade in the next few years is a rocket-like rise.

After the red, the shopkeeper did not dare to continue cutting, and began to wipe the skin along the red. This piece of material is a cuboid, and the cross-section is about a little larger than an adult's fist, which is just right for bracelets. If the rest of the part is all spread red, and more than a dozen pairs of bracelets can be pulled out, then it will be issued.

Li Shenglin looked at it with anticipation, but unfortunately the red color was wiped a little and it actually broke! The shopkeeper stopped wiping the stone knife, rested for a while, changed his face and continued to wipe. As a result, the other side was also broken in a similar position. The people around me couldn't stop lamenting, and they wanted to witness a miracle.

Li Shenglin did not give up, and the size of the red emerald that was wiped on all sides was basically revealed. You can pull out a pair and a half bracelets at most, and the rest can make two pendants, and then they are gone. There were still many jade merchants around who came to ask for the price, and Li Shenglin was in no mood to pay attention.

Li Shenglin asked the shopkeeper to cut the rest of the part, and the shopkeeper carefully cut off the red and green part and handed it to Li Shenglin, who was still watching the rest of the part. Then he cut two knives in a row, and there were few people around, only a few jade merchants were waiting to ask Li Shenglin if he would sell his red jade.

Li Shenglin looked at the two fist-sized jadeites in his hands, in fact, it was not a loss, the color of the jadeite in his hand was a very rare cockscomb red, and the water was also very good...... Wait, this water is ice?

Li Shenglin squatted down, put the jadeite in the basin and washed it, picked it up and put it in the sun, and the jadeite in Li Shenglin's hand reflected the bright light, and it was the glass species! The top jadeite in the jade world is the glass imperial green, and the highest red jade is the cockscomb red, and the glass breed cockscomb red!

Li Shenglin's actions also attracted the attention of the people around him, and the people around him burst into amazement after seeing the red and green water seed in Li Shenglin's hand. And the boss who had been helping Li Shenglin cut the stone also let out an exclamation two seconds later, the boss did not see the jade in Li Shenglin's hand, he was amazed that the remaining material was cut out and the color was out again.

Li Shenglin stood next to the boss, and the noise disappeared instantly after the stone cutter stopped, allowing him to hear the boss's exclamation. He thought that it was the jade in his hand that surprised the boss, but when he saw that the boss's eyes were still on the stone cutter, he followed the boss's gaze, and Li Shenglin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ahh There is not much material left, and even if the glass jadeite is produced, the value is not high. But what did Li Shenglin see? He saw purple, yellow, and a little bit of red.

It turned out to be Taoyuan Sanjieyi, three colors of jadeite! The material of 2,000 yuan has risen thousands of times. It's a pity that this piece of material is not big, and the part that comes out of the jade will not be too much, if it is the size of a fist, it will definitely shock the entire jade world.

The shopkeeper continued to solve the stone, but Li Shenglin's surprise could not be stopped for the time being. The final stone is the size of a goose's egg, but it comes in five colors instead of two. Red, yellow, purple, ink, and finally blue.

The people around surrounded him, and Li Shenglin hurriedly picked it up when he saw that the opportunity was not good, and hurriedly left without even having a chance to say hello to the shopkeeper.
