Those who gambled on stones were all experienced masters, and many of them were wealthy businessmen.

Everyone comes here to spend a lot of money, just to be happy, as for whether to make money or not, they don't care very much.

Or bring the second wife or the third wife over, wanting to surprise them, so as to tie their young and restless hearts.

At this time, when they saw Li Zhen holding a small pebble that he had picked up from the side of the road, they couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was very sarcastic.

According to common sense, the rough stones with jade species are generally relatively large, some weigh thousands of catties, and as little as hundreds of dozens of catties, where is there such a small stone, or a pebble.

Isn't that laughing at generosity?

Or maybe it's making fun of people's laughing nerves.

It's not just a deliberate pastime for this boss.

The shopkeeper couldn't laugh or cry, he saw that Li Zhen was just a migrant worker, and he was not good at attacking, and he was afraid that the regular customers in the store would think that he was not literate, so he only glanced at the pebble, shook his head, and said: "I'm sorry, we can't cut this pebble in our store, please find another place to cut it." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there were distinguished customers in the store, he would have asked people to expel Li Zhen directly.

In his memory, there has not yet been a peasant union here to play this kind of gambling game.

After all, this kind of game often costs hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars, and it is against the sky for a migrant worker like this kind of bewildered migrant worker to hold up 30,000 or 50,000 yuan in his pocket.

If he knew that Li Zhen only had more than 2,000 yuan in his pocket, he dared to come to his store to gamble on stones, I was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Hearing the ridicule of those people, Li Zhen was not angry, he still said very sincerely: "Boss, help, otherwise, I will use your cutting tools to cut myself." Okay?" he said, pointing to the tools in the hands of a master cutter.

"Hmph, do you know how much this set of tools is worth, it's a precision instrument of tens of thousands of yuan, what if you break it?" The shopkeeper glanced at Li Zhen, and finally showed an impatient face.

After all, the other guests were still choosing stones, and after Li Zhen came, he directly shifted the attention of those people to this side.

Besides, there is no reason to use your own tools to cut stones, what if you do not do it properly and break the tools.

"Don't worry, I have the means to never break the machine. Otherwise, I'll lose money by giving tools. Li Zhen took out more than 2,000 yuan from his pocket and said: "There are 2,300 yuan here, I only have so much money, so I will borrow your tools to cut this stone, if there is no jade, I don't blame you, anyway, I picked it up outside, and I will still give you the money for this tool." ”

Those customers had never seen anything like this, and someone would take a pebble picked up from the side of the road and cut it, or pay for their own tools.

couldn't help but have a strong interest in Li Zhen, so they gathered around to see how Li Zhen cut it.

Although they agreed that it was just an ordinary stone.

The shopkeeper thought that it was sent by another store to smash the signboard, so he immediately sank his face and said coldly: "Boy, if you are here to smash the signboard, I advise you, you better make the signboard brighter, I, Li Laosan, am not a vegetarian." If you have any tricks, just use them, and I'll do it. ”

"Alas, boss, you really misunderstood, I really just came to cut stones, I said that I will pay for the tools, and borrow your tools to cut them myself. Isn't that okay?" Li Zhen certainly understood the shopkeeper's words and hurriedly explained.

"Yes, boss, it's just a small pebble anyway, you might as well help him, it won't hurt you. ”

"Yes, I see that this guy wants to get rich and wants to go crazy, you can fulfill his hard work, look at his poor poor and sour appearance, or this salary will be paid for him.

"Boss, help him cut it, we are all watching, and he will not be cheated. ”

Soon, some customers began to say good things about Li Zhen.

Seeing that Li Zhen's attitude was very resolute, as if they had decided that this pebble was a piece of jade inside, their curiosity became even stronger.

The shopkeeper finally relented and said to Li Zhen: "Okay, for the sake of my old customers, I'll help you for the time being, and the salary will be counted, anyway, looking at you like this, you don't look like a rich person, it's not easy to move bricks on the construction site, you still keep the more than 2,000 yuan to ask for a daughter-in-law." ”

He took the pebbles in Li Zhen's hand, only to feel that his hand sank, it seemed to sink more than ordinary pebbles, his heart moved, and he handed it to a cutting master, and ordered: "You can help cut it." ”

"Okay, may I ask the boss, do you want me to cut from the middle, or cut on the side?" asked Li Zhen from the cutting master.

"Cut it from the edge, cut it from the middle, and it will cut the jade seed inside. Li Zhen said.

"Cut, he really thought there was jade in it. ”

"yes, I think there's something wrong with my brain, but it's not like there's something wrong with it. Why did I take a pebble and cut it, it was really a strange thing I had seen for the first time in my life. ”

"Don't be silent, maybe this guy has a discerning eye for this stone. ”

There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.

The master cutter then began to slowly cut through the pebbles.

For a time, the lime flew and the stone chips were scattered.

When a thin layer is cut off, the stone is as off-white as ever, without that green.

So everyone's eyes were immediately filled with disappointment.

"In my opinion, it is simply futile. In this way, don't look at it here, anyway, it's just an ordinary stone, you might as well go to it and choose the rough stone you like, and then cut it, maybe you will cut out the jade. ”

The shopkeeper had begun to persuade other customers to choose the rough stone, and he didn't want to distract everyone from Li Zhen's pebble.

"Don't worry, wait and see, no one can judge the result until the end. A kind-faced gray-haired old man said, staring at the stone in the gray mist with blazing eyes.

Li Zhen kept staring at the stone, for fear that the worker would cut the jade inside if he was not careful.

In fact, if he had been able to crack this stone before, it would have frightened them just by showing this terrifying force to the people.

Besides, he only has three percent of his true qi now, and he may not really have that ability.

The worker glanced at Li Zhen and cut the stone without saying a word.

He has been doing this business for ten years, and the stones he cut are not 30,000 but 20,000, but cutting pebbles like today, or the eldest girl on the sedan chair, the first time, that feeling is simply called a dog.

He felt that Li Zhen was here to smash the signboard, but in normal times, he would definitely have everything from it, and it would be clear at a glance whether there was jade or not.

The stone skin was cut layer by layer, and when the stone was only the size of an egg, Li Zhen, who had sharp eyes, finally found the clue.

He stopped the cutter and rinsed the small stone under the faucet.

Immediately, a layer of indifferent green halo appeared, which could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
