Chapter 232: Gambling Stone
Two days ago, Liu Xi returned to the community, and when she walked to the corner of the stairs, she saw a scene that made her speechless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mo Yun lay on a sofa cushion, surrounded by a group of cats of different colors and sizes.
Next to her are two female cats with snow-white and shiny hair, and behind her are four large, brightly colored male cats. Behind him and at the edge of the sofa cushion, the cat lying on his stomach is obviously one size smaller, and his hair is not so shiny, which is malnourished at first glance.
Outside the couch cushions, there is a circle of smaller, messy wild cats that occupy the outermost layer and are not even qualified to climb on the couch cushions.
The hierarchy is clear, and the hierarchical barriers are extremely strict.
Mo Yun yawned, and the two snow-white female cats immediately stretched out their tongues to lick the fur for it, and their front paws were still gently pressing on it......
The cats on guard on the outer layer stood up one after another when they saw Liu Xi's arrival, and the fur on their backs exploded, and they let out a low roar of intimidation at her.
Liu Xi was in that mood at that time...... the groove.
Mo Yun dominated the territory of the community, and it was not enough to become the king of cats in the community, but in the past two days, he has led the cats in the community and the cats in the neighboring community.
Looking at this progress, the cat group in the next community can last a day at most, and it is estimated that it will be conquered by Mo Yun today.
Liu Xi sighed, Mo Yun struggled for its overlord career all day long, and usually couldn't even see the shadow of a cat, so it was estimated that he didn't have time to pay attention to her.
She looked at the time, estimated that the old clock was almost there, and locked the door and walked out of the community.
Lao Zhong pinched the time very accurately, and as soon as Liu Xi walked out of the gate of the community, Lao Zhong drove the dilapidated Chery QQ car and parked in front of her.
was already an old acquaintance, Liu Xi opened the passenger door and sat in, Lao Zhong turned the car around and drove into the traffic.
"Old Zhong, where are we going?"
Liu Xi watched the car drive in the direction of the city, and asked.
Hearing Liu Xi's question, a stiff smile appeared on Lao Zhong's serious square face: "Miss Liu, let's go to Mingzhuang, the boss and they are all there." ”
Liu Xi nodded and didn't ask any more.
Mingzhuang is about 80 kilometers away from Fancheng and is a relatively poor town. Most of the young people in the town have gone to work in the big cities along the coast or inland, so the town is extremely old.
In addition, there are no local resources, let alone factories and other industries, the town's economy is relatively backward, and the people's income is generally low.
However, because of this, Mingzhuang appears to be clean, relatively remote, spacious and low-rent, just suitable for some less upright transactions.
Mingzhuang has a small gambling stone market that has been open for a long time, and once the boss arrives at the new goods, he will notify the regular customers to go to the selection of materials. As one of the regular customers, Lao Zhou will visit from time to time.
If it is an ordinary small gambling stone market, Liu Xi may not be interested.
The gambling industry is full of pitfalls, abduction and abduction, and nine out of ten bets are lost. No matter how experienced an old expert is, you will often fall for it, and you will lose your fortune if you are not careful.
Many people talk about the truth, but as soon as they got off the scene, they immediately revealed their true form and became another poor person in the gambling stone market who lost all his family property.
In general, the so-called small gambling stone market, there are few genuine stones in it, and most of them are artificially made and used to trap people. Or those gambling stone farms around Myanmar were picked and leftover, and it is basically impossible to open jade.
However, Lao Zhou's identity is different, since it is the gambling stone field he participates in, it shows that these stones have great gambling value.
Besides, the stones that Lao Zhou gambled on also had a big suitcase, all of which were taken away by Liu Xi.
Therefore, Liu Xi believes that in this small gambling stone market, there must be real jade, and the quantity is scarce at most.
After about an hour and a half, Lao Zhong drove to an abandoned winery in the town of Mingzhuang.
The large iron gate of the distillery was guarded by four or five men, and the distillery was surrounded by a wall, each section of which was guarded by three or four men. There was also a patrol of about a dozen people, constantly patrolling along the fence.
The old bell honked the horn, and the four or five men guarding the gate of the distillery saw that they were acquaintances, and immediately pushed the iron door open and let the old bell drive in.
The area of the distillery is not large, about 90 acres. Lao Zhong drove the car to the parking lot and found a place to park.
Dozens of cars have been parked in the parking lot, and the worst cars are worth more than a million. Lao Zhou's dilapidated and dirty Chery QQ is parked in the center of the parking lot, which looks quite alternative and pretended.
Lao Zhong led Liu Xi through the parking lot and came to the area in the middle of the winery.
This area was supposed to be the liquor filling area and finished product storage area of the distillery, and it was very large, and there were already about 100 people in it, who were commenting and talking about the piles of stones in the factory.
Lao Zhou squatted on the ground, holding a small flashlight with a strong light in his hand, and was looking carefully at an open stone.
As he watched, he talked to a meticulous old man in a suit with straight hair combed next to him.
The old man also squatted on the ground, his face was solemn, he was holding a metal rod in his hand, striking it on the stone again and again, and his mouth was still muttering: "The sound of Shafa is like a bell, and the white fog is not human." This stone is hard and rough, the sand is good, the sound is clear and pleasant, and it should be in stock. ”
Yin Yin stood beside the two of them, inadvertently glanced at the door, and saw Lao Zhong and Liu Xi walking in, and hurriedly raised his hand and shook it vigorously at Liu Xi.
Liu Xi saw Yin beckoning from a distance, so he walked over with Lao Zhong.
She saw Lao Zhou squatting on the ground, holding a small flashlight to shine on the stone, and there was an old man next to him who was knocking on his hand while chanting in his mouth, as if a monk was chanting.
I couldn't help but wonder about the voice: "They...... What is this doing?"
"Jianshi. Yin Yin replied casually, then his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Xi in surprise: "Aren't you?
Liu Xi is also speechless, do you still need to rely on these things to gamble on stones?
She couldn't help but think of the novel she found in the desk, which contained a copy of "Rebirth of Jewels", which was about the heroine's ability to identify whether there was jade in the stone, and also to identify the quality of the jade, the water, the size, and even the color.
Originally, she thought that the methods written in it were all made up, but she didn't expect to really see someone use such a stupid method to identify stones.
The more Lao Zhou and the old man talked, the more speculative they became, and they seemed to be very satisfied with the stone, and they were considering whether to buy it while feeling the stone.
"Old Zhou, there is no jade in this stone, don't look at it. Liu Xi said.
Lao Zhou and the old man beside him frowned at the same time, and turned their heads with a worried expression.
Seeing that it was Liu Xi, Lao Zhou's expression softened and greeted: "Ouch, Liu Xi is here." ”
The old man said unceremoniously: "Little girl, you are young, watch more here and talk less, let alone talk nonsense." ”
