Chapter 149: Gambling Beads
Su Yi drove to the Flower and Bird Market, where Hu Shengqi was waiting for him.
As soon as he arrived, Hu Shengqi ran over.
Su Yi parked the car, and after getting out of the car, he asked, "It's really rare, since you didn't play games in the dormitory, what did you ask me to come out for?"
Hu Shengqi immediately smiled: "The game can be played at any time, but there are some things that are missed, there is no more, calling you out, of course, there is a benefit to take care of you, I found a fun thing, let you come out and see with me." ”
Hearing this, Su Yi was a little curious and asked, "What's so fun?"
"You'll know if you come with me, we'll go now. ”
After speaking, Hu Shengqi walked in front and walked into the flower and bird market with Su Yi.
Not long after, they came to a place in the flower and bird market, which was different from other locations, did not sell pets, ornamental fish, and did not have a flower shop, but it was very lively, and everyone had it.
When you come here, the first thing that catches your eye is a variety of pearl jewelry, dazzling, there are large and small stalls here, all of which are engaged in pearl jewelry, freshwater pearls, saltwater pearls, black pearls and South Sea pearls, which make people overwhelmed.
In addition to selling all kinds of pearl jewelry, there are more stalls selling pearl mussels for its tourists to open mussels and take pearls.
Pearls, loved since ancient times, have never changed, in ancient societies, pearls have always represented status, power, money and noble status, and for the common people, pearls are a symbol of happiness, peace and auspiciousness.
In recent years, gambling on pearls has become more and more popular, and more and more people have participated.
Here, it has its own corner in the Flower and Bird Market, forming a unique attraction, also known as the Flower Spirit House Pearl Mussel Market.
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
This pearl mussel market attracts a lot of tourists, and the purpose of coming here is, of course, to gamble and cut the mussels to get the pearls.
After coming here, Su Yi asked, "Do you want to buy pearls?"
Hearing this, Hu Shengqi said proudly: "It's not interesting to buy more, I'm here to bet on pearls, I'm interesting enough, I don't forget to call you for such a fun thing." ”
Su Yi said directly: "I don't gamble, you have to play by yourself, but don't play too crazy." ”
Ten bets and nine losses, there is no way for the scattered family to win the dealer's, so he doesn't like to gamble, especially this kind of unsure gambling, he is even more repulsive.
Hu Shengqi said: "I knew you would say that, then you watch me bet first, and make sure you will be tempted." ”
After that, he and Su Yi began to choose a stall.
According to Hu Shengqi's words, there are so many gambling bead stalls here, of course, choose your own.
After looking at a few stalls, Su Yi found that the price of pearl mussels here is not expensive, ranging from dozens to hundreds, mainly according to the size and output.
In addition to pearl mussels, he also learned about the price of pearls, which vary greatly depending on the variety, from dozens of dollars to thousands of dollars. As for the more expensive pearls, they will not be seen here, and even if they are opened, they will be taken away by the jewelry store and not seen in the stalls.
The variety and size of pearls, as well as the production volume are very related, for example, the production of freshwater pearls is relatively large, the price is cheaper, and the production of black pearls is relatively small, as a jewelry-grade black pearl is even less, and the price will be high, which is normal.
In the end, Hu Shengqi took a fancy to a stall, where there are many pearl mussels, and they are all black pearl mussels, which can bloom black pearls, which are slightly larger than the palm of his hand.
The owner of this gambling bead stall is a man in his forties, with a full beard, and is called Boss Liu.
Su Yi and Hu Shengqi had just come to this booth, and when they were about to ask the price, someone next to them exclaimed: "It's out, my God, it's at least 12 mm!"
When they heard this, they all looked over.
It turned out to be a middle-aged man, and from a pearl mussel, a 12 mm black pearl was opened.
Seeing this, Boss Liu said: "12 mm, a good pearl, can be sold for at least six or seven thousand." ”
On the same day, he did not forget to advertise his stall: "My pearl mussels are all shipped from Tahiti, and the pearl yield is higher than that of other pearl mussels." ”
When Su Yi and Hu Shengqi heard this, they couldn't help but smack their tongues a little, they didn't expect that just an ordinary-looking pearl was worth six or seven thousand, or even higher, no wonder the people next to them would exclaim.
This time, Hu Shengqi was even more moved, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, how do you sell this pearl mussel?"
Boss Liu saw that the business came to the door, and said enthusiastically: "This side is one hundred and fifty, and this side is one hundred and eighty, pick at will, I won't open it, I can help you open it, don't charge money." ”
More than a hundred pearl mussels bloom six or seven thousand black pearls, which is indeed very attractive.
However, Su Yi knew that it was not so easy to bloom good pearls, and the person just now had at least ten or twenty pearls, and it was also good luck to bloom good pearls.
Hu Shengqi didn't think about it so much
, of each pearl mussel, he picked two, a total of six hundred and sixty.
After Boss Liu received the money, he asked, "Do you need me to help you open it?"
Hu Shengqi waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll come by myself, you can lend me the tools." ”
After getting the tools to open the mussels, he began to cut the mussels on the spot.
The pearls in this pearl mussel are large and small, with different varieties, and it is all up to personal luck to bloom good pearls.
Although Hu Shengqi was full of interest, he took a tool to cut the mussels, and after the hurry, the four pearl mussels were cut, but the harvest was very pitiful, only a few were found, the shape was not good, and the quality was very bad, such pearls were not worth anything at all.
As the saying goes, seven-point pearls, eight-point treasures, this pearl must be more than 8 mm to be valuable.
And the pearl that Hu Shengqi unraveled, the largest diameter is only six millimeters, of course, it is worthless, and no one accepts it.
However, he still cherished them, holding them tightly in his hand as if they were priceless.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Shengqi didn't plan to leave, and he continued to play, and he began to provoke pearl mussels again.
At this time, Boss Liu saw that Su Yi had been next to Hu Shengqi, and he didn't mean to pick pearl mussels, so he said, "Little brother, don't you pick a few to play?"
"No, I'll just take a look. Su Yi said.
Boss Liu saw that he was not very interested, so he did not continue to attract business.
Not long after, Hu Shengqi bought three more pearl mussels, but some more worthless pearls were opened.
This time, he had already spent thousands of yuan, and he only got a dozen worthless pearls.
