Chapter 25: The Pot is Big

"Gambling stones?" Xiao Ping was not familiar with the jade circle, and he didn't know what Lu Dao meant.

Mao Wenqing immediately explained: "This gambling stone meeting was proposed by Myanmar, and after the Chinese New Year, a large number of jadeite rough stones were sold in the border area, and many people in this circle were invited to participate." Buying this kind of rough stone is all about sight and luck, and it's like gambling. If you bet right, you will immediately become a billionaire, and many more will go bankrupt as a result. ”

Speaking of this, Mao Wenqing stopped to take a sip of tea, and then continued: "I see that Mr. Xiao has a high attainment in identifying jade, and I would like to invite you to participate in the stone gambling meeting with me." As long as you can help me choose the materials, I will give you 10% of the profits, how about it?"

Don't look at Mao Wenqing, who is only allowed to give Xiao Ping a percent income, but the income from betting on a piece of jade rough is often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and he is generous enough.

Xiao Ping was very interested in Mao Wenqing's proposal, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This thing is worth a try." ”

Jadeite is also a type of jade, and the demon refining pot also senses it. Others will be destitute if they are unlucky, but for Xiao Ping, it is a profitable business.

However, Xiao Ping felt that there was still something to figure out, and quickly asked, "Can I spend my own money to buy a few pieces of jadeite rough?"

"I don't know how much money Mr. Xiao has?" Mao Wenqing pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

If Xiao Ping also went with a large amount of money, he would definitely give priority to choosing the rough stone for himself, and then Mao Wenqing would not make much money. Mao Wenqing can't do the thing of making wedding dresses for others, so he must figure out this problem.

Xiao Ping smiled embarrassedly: "About 1.8 million, I can't come up with more money." ”

Mao Wenqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, millions of dollars were not counted at all at the Gambling Stone Meeting, if it weren't for him, Xiao Ping, who only had this money, would not be qualified to participate in the Gambling Stone Meeting. Mao Wenqing, who was relieved, immediately said: "No problem, you can buy the rough stone in my name when the time comes." ”

Now that the conditions have been negotiated, Xiao Ping didn't talk nonsense, stood up and stretched out his hand to Mao Wenqing and said, "Happy cooperation, Boss Mao." ”

"Happy cooperation!" Mao Wenqing also got up and shook hands with Xiao Ping, and the cooperation between the two was decided.

Mao Wenqing valued Xiao Ping, a young man, very much, and personally sent him to the door of Weifangzhai. This surprised the guests in the store again, it would definitely not be stunned to make Boss Mao so polite, Xiao Ping became a master of playing jade in their eyes.

The value of jade cannot be measured by volume, but Xiao Ping spent 100,000 yuan to buy a large bag of jade, and it is really inconvenient to run around with so many stones. So he simply went back to the hotel, planning to dispose of the jade materials first.

It was never polite for the demon refining pot to absorb jade, and it didn't take long for Xiao Ping to buy all the jade materials he bought. After the demon refining pot absorbed all the jade materials, Xiao Ping couldn't wait to enter the space inside the pot, wanting to see how effective the money would be.

The space inside the pot has become much larger, and it is about the size of half an acre. A part of the spring water overflowed from the spring, forming a small stream more than a foot wide, and the stream flowed out for dozens of meters before converging into a pool of 30 to 40 square meters. The water in the pool is very clear, although the deepest depth is more than two meters, the pebbles at the bottom of the water are clearly visible, giving the illusion that there is no water in the pool.

Faced with such a magical waterhole, Xiao Ping couldn't help but whisper: "This place ...... Fish farming must be very good. ”

In fact, the waterhole is not the only noticeable change in the space in the pot, the small trees growing next to the spring have also changed. Ever since Xiao Ping got the Demon Refining Pot, there have always been only seven leaves on this small tree, and nothing has changed. But now, Xiao Ping found that a small green bud grew on the top of the small tree, and he believed that as long as the demon refining pot absorbed more jade, this small bud could eventually grow into a leaf. Although Xiao Ping didn't know what was so special about this little tree, it was obviously not a bad thing to be able to grow an extra bud. …,

In addition to the changes in the space of these demon refining pots themselves, the plants that Xiao Ping planted in them also changed. All the ginseng is growing well, and all of them have red seeds. Xiao Ping believes that as long as these ginseng are planted for a longer period of time, they will definitely be able to sell at a higher price.

The oak tree planted some time ago has also grown to a three-story height, and the trunk is so thick that one person can't hug it. The canopy is hundreds of square meters wide, and sunlight simply cannot penetrate the dense foliage, casting a large area of shade under the canopy. In the outer world, it would take at least several decades for an oak sapling to grow to such a size. But in the world of the pot, this process only takes more than a month.

Now that the oak tree has grown so big, Xiao Ping feels that the matter of cultivating truffles can be officially put on the agenda. He left the Huzhong World and asked the waiter of the hotel about the location of the best restaurant in the provincial capital, and then rushed over directly.

The owner of Raffles Restaurant, Pierre, is French, and he is not only a shrewd businessman, but also a very good chef. A few years ago, Pierre chose to open this western restaurant in the provincial capital, and it quickly became the city's most exclusive dining venue. Over the years, Pierre had seen many strange requests from his customers, but the young man today had never heard of him - he didn't order anything, only to buy whole white and black truffles.

Truffles are a precious ingredient, and even fine dining restaurants like Raffles sell very few of them each season. It is generally cut into very thin slices for side dishes, how can any guest open his mouth to buy the whole whole, and also black and white truffles together? The foreman has no way to make the decision, so he can only ask the boss to decide.

Pierre said in broken Chinese: "Mr. Xiao, you have no problem asking for black truffles, but white truffles are a little troublesome, and our store also needs to make a reservation in Italy." ”

"I could wait, and the price was not a problem. Xiao Ping said to the French: "But it is better to have a fully ripe truffle, and it must be fresh." ”

Pierre confidently said: "You don't have to worry about quality, our Raffles restaurant always sells only the best quality ingredients, and we will not smash our own signatures." ”

"That's for the best. Xiao Ping took out two stacks of renminbi and put them on the table: "This is a deposit, and I will pay the rest when the truffle arrives." ”

Since Xiao Ping showed enough sincerity, Pierre would not push the door-to-door business out, stood up and shook hands with the other party and said: "Please rest assured, I will contact the European side now, and I will contact you as soon as the goods arrive." ”

"Thank you!" Xiao Ping politely thanked Pierre, pleased with the outcome of his trip to Raffles' Restaurant.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ping went straight to the nursery on the outskirts of the provincial city, and he inquired before he set off, and knew that there were blueberry fruit saplings for sale. The owner of the nursery heard that Xiao Ping wanted to buy enough blueberry fruit trees to plant five acres of mountainous land, so he was naturally very enthusiastic about him. But after learning that Xiao Ping wanted to pick up the goods as soon as possible, he immediately shook his head and refused his request.
