After shopping for a whole day, Wang Meng didn't find the cloud swallowing stone he wanted to buy.

The next day, Bai Yanli planned to accompany Wang Meng to look for it, but Wang Meng didn't want to go, and didn't want Bai Yanliguang to delay his business in order to accompany him, so he proposed to go shopping separately.

At first, Bai Yanli didn't agree, but she couldn't stand Wang Meng's repeated insistence.

Walking on the bustling streets, Wang Meng did not show frustration because of the fruitless search for the Cloud Swallowing Stone, but seemed very curious, and kept looking at the customs and customs on both sides.

Without Bai Yanli as a tour guide by his side, walking in such a strange environment, Wang Meng felt that many things were very novel. To tell the truth, yesterday because of Bai Yanli by his side, Wang Meng was a little restrained, and now he can go wherever he wants.

Walking to a jade shop and stopping, Wang Meng looked up and saw that the plaque hanging high was written with three eye-catching and powerful characters of "Jubao Zhai".

Jubao Zhai? Wang Meng smiled lightly, and said in his heart that this boss really knows how to choose a name! The name alone is enough to attract the curiosity of many customers.

Walking into this jade shop, Wang Meng was immediately attracted by the retro-style decoration inside.

Looking around, whether it is the counters, shelves, tables, chairs and benches, they are all made of mahogany, plus a layer of lacquer, so that it presents an elegant luster, so that people feel like they are in the home of princes and generals after entering.

"What do you want to see, sir?" Just when Wang Meng was still marveling at the decoration here, a female voice sounded in his ears.

Wang Meng looked back and saw a girl who was not tall, wearing a pair of short-sighted glasses and a ponytail looking at him.

"I'll take a casual look first!" Seeing this girl's costume, Wang Meng knew that she was a staff member here.

"Okay, please take a look!" After the girl finished speaking, she went to entertain the others.

This Jubao Zhai, at first glance, is very delicate and the area is not large, but in fact, it is connected by several rooms, and the more jade is displayed inside, the more precious it is.

Wang Meng is mainly here to find the swallowing stone, which is called milk in the market, but if there is a good jade, he doesn't mind buying some.

Along the clockwise, Wang Meng walked forward from shelf to shelf. Each shelf has a label that not only says the name of the stone, but also the price, so there's no need to ask.

There is a rule here, that is, all jade is a fixed price, and you can't bargain!

"Sister Ghost, which kind of jade do you think is more useful here?" Wang Meng's research on jade is still in the rookie stage, so he has to ask the ghost with profound knowledge.

From the perspective of appreciation or market potential, the ghost can't give any opinions, but if it comes to practical surnames, she has a lot to say.

Scanning around with a flat expression, the ghost pursed his lips and whispered, "It's all flashy!" ”

Wang Meng smiled, since the ghosts had said so, he only had the heart to appreciate and watch.

After turning around for a long time, just when Wang Meng felt that he had no intention of going out, he found that there were many people gathered in front of him, and it seemed to be very lively.

Wang Meng was also curious, and anyway, there was nothing to do now, so he leaned over to take a look.

Squeezed into the crowd only to find out that it was a gambling stone, no wonder so many onlookers gathered.

Gambling stone refers to the jadeite when mined, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapped, can not know the quality of the jadeite, must be cut to know the quality of the jadeite.

Gambling stone is a unique way of trading high-grade jadeite rough stone popular in the border area of Yunnan and Burma, which attracts jade merchants from all over the world to participate in the pre-sale of jade merchants with its strong gambling color, which can be described as a long-term prosperity.

If the seller knows how to gamble on his eyesight and good luck, and if he can buy the best products, he can become a nouveau riche, a millionaire or even a multimillionaire in an instant, on the contrary, if he looks at the goods and has bad luck, he will lose all his money and go bankrupt.

Wang Meng saw that a huge round stone platform was piled with stones of different sizes and dark gray appearances, and the people around him were pointing and whispering.

"Don't worry, everyone, there is another quarter of an hour to start gambling!"

As a man who looked like a person in charge spoke, several more porters poured boxes of stones on top of the pile.

As the stones piled up more and more, the people around them also gathered more and more, some of these people came specifically for this gambling stone, some were like Wang Meng to see the excitement, and some had a wait-and-see attitude.

"It hasn't started yet!"

Wang Meng smiled, he didn't expect that he would come at the right time, and if he was late, he might not be able to squeeze in. Now it's a little difficult for him to squeeze out.

The boss here is really good at doing business, and it's a good way to take advantage of people's curiosity and anticipation to attract a lot of customers without much publicity.

Speaking of gambling stones, Wang Meng has also seen some materials in the college library before, and he also understands some knowledge:

Unprocessed jadeite rough is called "wool". In the jadeite trading market, the wool is also called "stone", and the wool full of green is called "color goods"; The uneven green wool is called "flower brand material", and the large wool material without high emerald is called "brick material". The jadeite wool that is wrapped in a leather shell as a whole, and is not cut or opened (also known as the door opener) is called "gambling stone", or "gambling goods".

The outer skin of the gambling stone is wrapped in a thin or thick original stone skin, and different gambling stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors.

One of the most lucrative and tempting in jade trading is also the riskiest gambling stone. There is a saying in the jewelry world: gambling on stones is like gambling on life. If you win a bet, you will earn ten times and a hundred times, and you will become a rich man overnight; The gamble collapsed, and everything was lost.

Wang Meng took a look at the introduction of the rules of the gambling stone next to him, 500 per stone, no limit on size, once purchased, the cover will not be returned!

"One stone costs five hundred? That's a lot more weird than buying a lottery ticket! Wang Meng muttered in a low voice, but unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by an uncle next to him.

"Little brother, you're still a novice, aren't you?" The uncle looked at Wang Meng with a rookie look, "Although gambling on stones is a gamble, it is not luck that is betting, but eyesight." ”

Wang Meng smiled awkwardly, he was indeed a novice, he had only heard of gambling stones before, and today was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Connoisseurs look at the doorway, laymen look at the lively, people who really know how to gamble on stones can see the advantages and disadvantages of jade through the wool skin. Luck alone like you can't do it! The uncle admonished in the tone of an elder.

Hehe smiled, Wang Meng didn't say anything, but a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind:

"Using the silk sense realm by yourself, can you spy on the universe inside the stone?"
