For Zhang Junyi's proposal, Guo Liyang didn't want to nod and agree immediately, as a top second generation who has been in Yanjing for a long time, how can he not be tempted if there is excitement, not to mention such an exciting activity as gambling stones, Guo Liyang at this time is actually as eager as Zhang Junyi to see this thrilling gambling stone activity.

Seeing that Zhang Junyi and Guo Liyang couldn't take care of calming down and tasting tea at this time, Uncle Wang, the boss of [Yayu Zhai], naturally would not do anything that disliked the two of them in such a situation, not to mention that in his own [Yayu Zhai] usual business, gambling stones also occupy a very important part, but because Guo Liyang did not take the initiative to mention it before, Boss Wang, who was worried about the power in Guo Liyang's family behind him, did not take the initiative to invite.

No way, although Guo Liyang's usual style of doing things is not so high-profile and arrogant, but it is not related to low-key, so as long as the family power of Young Master Yang is a little inquired, Boss Wang, who has been operating under the roots of the imperial city for many years, can still know something, plus Guo Liyang's father was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Culture a few years earlier, so Boss Wang, who runs the store carefully, does not dare to fall into the reputation of seducing Guo Liyang.

But this time, Zhang Junyi took the initiative to see the gambling stones in the backyard, so where would Boss Wang stop it, it's too late to be happy, these are the two potential big customers in his store in the future.

Zhang Junyi and Guo Liyang passed through the small door of the front hall of [Ya Yu Zhai] under the guidance of Boss Wang, and there was a very short passage behind the small door, Zhang Junyi and Guo Liyang followed Boss Wang to a courtyard at the back, Zhang Junyi never expected that there was such a big yard behind this [Ya Yu Zhai] that did not look very big from the outside.

The yard is very large, and there are some stones placed next to the wall, although these stones look no different from ordinary stones, but Zhang Junyi also knows that these are the so-called jade rough stones mentioned on TV.

There is a pergola in the center of the yard, and under the pergola there is a working stone dissolving machine, although Zhang Junyi is the first time to see the real thing, but he is no stranger to it, and he has seen this kind of object on TV in his previous life.

There were three people in the nearest place to the stone dissolving machine, a stone dissolving worker was dissolving stones under the command of two men who looked to be thirty or forty years old, and then outside the three of them, a circle of people was gathering to watch, and there were more than a dozen people scattered around.

"Ayi, I didn't expect you to be interested in gambling stones, but playing this thing is more exciting than playing antiques, although I heard that there is also a lot of technology in it, but luck in it accounts for a lot of ingredients. The three of them came to the periphery of the stone calcifier, and the excited Guo Liyang couldn't help but whisper to Zhang Junyi.

"Ayi, I have seen a show about the introduction of gambling stones, which introduced that the door can be big, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the jewelry industry has a jargon called 'gambling house' The so-called "gambling house" refers to the jewelry players to the jewelry store to find a pair of jadeite eyes, although the gambling stone has a lot of skills in terms of technology, but it is also by luck, very similar to betting, lottery. ”

"Brother Yang, since you are so interested in gambling stones, why haven't you heard of it before, and looking at Uncle Wang's expression before, I still think that this is the first time you have come to the backyard?" Zhang Junyi saw that Guo Liyang really seemed to be the first time like himself, and asked with some confusion.

"If it weren't for your proposal, I wouldn't have come in and have a look, you know, this thing is very evil, in case I really get hooked, it's not something that ordinary small money can support. Guo Liyang said with some embarrassment.

I have to say that Guo Liyang's self-control is really strong, which Zhang Junyi really admires.

Although he was very interested in gambling stones, Zhang Junyi did not get started immediately, but took out his mobile phone from his pocket while watching the calcite in front of him, and typed the word gambling stone, seeing that this matter that he had never been in contact with began to popularize.

Around 2000, a "Crazy Stone" popularized the seemingly mysterious activity of gambling stones to the general public, and after many years, gambling stones, which was once only popular in a small atmosphere, is no longer mysterious in the eyes of the people, after all, with the broadcast of TV special programs about gambling stones, this once very mysterious activity is like being unveiled of mystery, so that the people know that these stones that are not good-looking can make people rich overnight.

With Zhang Junyi's search on his mobile phone, some basic knowledge and common sense about gambling stones also quickly appeared in front of him.

Gambling stone is a jewelry industry term, which refers to the jadeite when it is mined, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapped, and it is impossible to know the quality of the jadeite, and the quality of the jadeite must be known after cutting.

As the saying goes, 'one to heaven and one to hell', in the gambling stone market, of course, more people who have become rich overnight are bankrupt overnight.

So even if he is just ready to spend a little money to get over his addiction, Zhang Junyi is also ready to popularize some of the standing knowledge of gambling stones before starting to do so, although he knows that the role will not be very large, but it can be regarded as grinding guns in battle, and he is prepared.

At least some of the professional terms commonly used in gambling stones still need to be understood, and the province is caricatured as a 'soil leopard' or 'nouveau riche'.

No, Zhang Junyi swept his eyes and found that our Young Master Yang was also doing the same thing with his mobile phone at this time, and sure enough, the hero saw the same thing.

The "Dian Hai Yu Heng Zhi" written by Tan Cui in the Qing Dynasty recorded: "The jade comes out of the South Jinsha River, and the river used to belong to Tengyue, which is more than 2,000 miles away from the state, and there is a lot of jade in it. Yi people pick it, leave out the river bank each pile, the coarse ore is obtained, the size is like a pebble, I don't know whether there is jade, and the beauty and evil of jade, the estimator buys it at will, transports it to Dali and Yunnan Province, there are jade workshops, the solution is to see the jade, and the flat land is rich!

In Chinese history, one of the most famous gambling stones is "Heshibi".

Legend has it that in the Chu State two thousand years ago, there was a person named Bian He, he found a piece of jade, and successively took it out to the two monarchs of the Chu State, the monarch thought that he was deceived and cut off his left and right legs, Bian He could not walk without legs, he held the jade and cried on the Chu Mountain for three days and three nights, and then the King of Chu Wen knew, he sent someone to bring the jade and asked the jade worker to cut it open, and the result was a gem-quality jade.

This gem was named "Heshi Bi", and later this gem was owned by King Zhao Hui, and King Qin Zhao promised to exchange fifteen cities for this gem, which shows the high value of this gem. This gem was later carved into a jade seal, which was not lost until the Western Jin Dynasty.
