Chapter 555: The Blind Gambling Stone Expert
At the door of the shop, the man sitting in front of the wooden machine just raised his head and immediately resumed his work.
Li Yang stood there, watching with great interest the man in front of the wooden machine at work.
Shuideng is a tool that Li Yang has seen in ancient books to cut jade, using the power of the pedal to drive the grinding wheel to rotate to polish and cut jade, this tool Li Yang has only seen in books, this is the first time to see the real thing.
"Li Yang, what is Shuideng?"
Wang Jiajia asked in a low voice, she really couldn't see anything about the wooden machine in front of her, and it was so special that it only gave her a feeling of sluggishness and woodenness.
"Shuideng is a kind of tool, in ancient times, when there was no electricity, the worker would sit on a high stool, use his feet to step on the pedal, so as to drive the upper wheel to rotate, and then the jade to be cut with tree glue on an iron rod, the jade on the wheel to cut. Although the work efficiency is not high, this is also a very practical cutting tool in places where there is no power supply! โ
Li Yang slowly explained that in the era of no electricity, Shuideng was the most common stone-cutting tool, and at present, Shuideng is almost impossible to see in China, and Li Yang did not expect that such ancient things could still be seen in Myanmar.
Perhaps only in places like Myanmar, where there are frequent power outages, will keep this kind of thing, anyway, this is an ancient culture of China, and it is a pity that no one in China uses it anymore.
"I look like a sewing machine!"
Wang Jiajia muttered in a low voice, Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and nodded with a smile: "Jiajia, you're right, this thing is actually similar to a sewing machine, this is the sewing machine on jade!" โ
Li Yang still had a trace of emotion when he spoke, the person who was stepping on the water and looked up at Li Yang, and continued to do the work at hand, there is often no electricity here, and many people have long developed the habit of using such ancient tools.
After watching it for a while, Li Yang left with some reluctance.
This kind of pure hand tool is almost impossible to see in China, even the current carving master, it is also on the basis of machine calcification" and then carved out, Shuideng This ancient tool, not Li Yang saw it with his own eyes, and almost forgot about it.
"Mr. Li, there is our sales point in front, and there is a market here that belongs to us!"
Sandala suddenly said to Li Yang, passing through the ornament area, he immediately entered the wool area, which had less than ten narrow streets in total, and all the shops in one of the streets belonged to Sandala's family.
It was also their family's window to the outside world. "In addition to there, there are also some of their family's shops in the finished jewelry and carving area, which can be regarded as a window to the outside world for their family.
"Master Sandala!"
"Three sons!"
"Third Young Master!"
After entering this street, many people greeted Sandara, Sandara was the third in the family, and many old people in the family called him the third son or the third young master, and the meaning was the same.
"Uncle Gao, is Elder Zhuo here today?" Sandara looked a little excited, and greeted an old man in his sixties happily.
Li Yang took a closer look at the wool materials placed on this street, "Some of them are wool from the new field, and the value is not very high, but there are also some old materials, and there are not some wool materials that perform very well, even if someone comes to buy them, they will have to pay a lot of money to buy them."
This is really much better than the ornament area.
"Zhuo Lao is here!" The old man who had been turned over by Sandala as a gobor hurriedly replied, and the smile on Sandara's face became even brighter.
"Okay, I know" I'll go see Zhuo Lao now! โ
Sandara said lightly, and then made a gesture to Li Yang and let Li Yang walk in front.
The senior uncle looked at Li Yang in surprise, shook his head, and then went on to do his own thing. He was the person in charge of this market, and he did not follow General Thornton to greet Li Yang today, "I only regarded Li Yang as a strange young man."
"Zhuo Lao is my uncle's most admired gambling stone expert, and he is also a native of China, thirty years ago, he was as famous as Mr. Ma, the Jade King, and even Zhuo Lao's level was not inferior to the Jade King!"
Walking on the road, Sandala whispered to Li Yang that the wool on this street belongs to the Sandala family, "Except for some wholesale wool merchants, there are not many customers."
"Not inferior to the Emerald King?"
Li Yang's brows furrowed slightly, whether it was at home or abroad, "The most famous person in the jade and jade world is this old man of the jade king, this old man has been famous in the jade world for more than thirty years, and it can be said that no one has been incomparable.
Even if it is Li Yang, what he compares is only Shao Yuqiang, the new Jade King, when he really compares Li Yang with Mr. Ma, the Jade King, no one knows that Li Yang can win against this real Jade King.
"Yes, Zhuo Lao's life is very legendary, you will know it when you see it!"
Sandara nodded heavily, and continued to walk forward, the most important place in this street was in the innermost warehouse, where the family wholesaled important wool, and each time the business was in the millions.
The big warehouse is very large, and there are thousands of pieces of jadeite wool in it, which are all real old pit materials, high, medium and low-grade, and many of them are all full-gambling wool.
These are just representatives, and the wool of these representatives alone is worth tens of millions of yuan, which is enough to see the power of the Sandala family in Myanmar.
The wool is scattered and there is no security in Shouqi, but no one will want to snatch anything from here. In Myanmar, if you offend the government, you may still be released, and if you offend the five major local families, you will definitely not know how to die.
"Zhuo Lao, I didn't expect you to be here today!"
Sandara suddenly took two quick steps, and next to the largest warehouse, an old man in his seventies was lying on a chaise longue, his hair was all gray, but he still looked very energetic, but his eyes were always closed, as if he was asleep.
"Sandara, you're back!"
The old man sat up straight, tapped lightly on the handle of the chaise longue, his eyes still not open, and said with a smile.
"Zhuo Lao, I'm back!"
Sandara nodded heavily, the old man lying on the chair slowly opened his eyes, Li Yang's heart jumped violently, the old man's eyes turned out to be all white, and he couldn't see a little black sรจ pupils at all.
"Sandara, this is Zhuo Lao?"
Li Yang was very surprised and asked, Sundara had introduced him just now, Zhuo Lao was a gambling stone master who was not inferior to the Jade King, but Li Yang never thought that Zhuo Lao was a person with abnormal eyes.
When Zhuo Lao rolled his eyes, Wang Jiajia couldn't help but lean into Li Yang's arms, Zhuo Lao's eyes definitely didn't have any face except for Bai Sรจ, such eyes were probably a blind man in any case.
"Mr. Li, this is indeed Zhuo Lao!"
Sandara nodded again, this time with a serious expression on her face.
Zhuo Lao was a very famous gambling stone expert thirty years ago, at that time the situation in the country was a little special, the so-called gambling stone was not respected at all, many gambling stone masters at that time, including the jade king Mr. Ma Lao have moved to Myanmar.
At that time, the Zhuo Ma duo was the most famous gambling master, Zhuo refers to Zhuo Lao, and Ma refers to Mr. Ma, the Jade King, who was still in front of Mr. Ma Lao, the Jade King.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Zhuo Lao unfortunately lost his sight in an accident, and for a gambling stone expert, "blindness is almost the most painful blow." At that time, everyone was not optimistic about Zhuo Lao, and slowly, Mr. Ma Lao broke out of the name of the Jade King, and there were very few people who remembered Zhuo Lao's name in the end.
However, few people know that after Zhuo Lao lost his sight, he was even more powerful in gambling stones.
In the past thirty years, Zhuo Lao has developed a good pair of ears, he doesn't need to look at it, as long as he listens to a piece of wool, he can judge a rough idea, since then Zhuo Lao has also become the guest of Thornton Jiangcao, the most respected gambling stone expert, no one.
It's a pity that Zhuo Lao can only listen to a single gambling stone, because of eye problems, he can no longer go to gambling mines, otherwise it is unknown whether General Thornton will invite Li Yang this time.
Sandala whispered these situations to Li Yang, and the surprise on Li Yang's face became more and more intense.
Gambling stone experts who use their ears to gamble stones, Li Yang can be said to be unheard of, "I never thought of it before, the important features of gambling stone wool need to be identified with eyes, even if I look at it, sometimes I can't see it accurately" just to listen, Li Yang didn't dare to think about this result.
Sandara: Who is this kid next to you? โโ
Zhuo Lao asked suddenly, his eyes were still closed when he spoke, Zhuo Lao was lying on the chaise longue, and if he didn't look at his eyes, everyone would think that this was a peaceful old man resting with his eyes closed.
"Elder Zhuo, Mr. Li is indeed the most important guest I invited this time, Mr. Li has the title of Jade Saint in the jade world, and he is the most outstanding genius in recent years!"
Sandara replied hurriedly, with a respectful look on her face.
Zhuo Lao can be said to be a master of his grandfather's generation, not to mention him, even his uncle, General Thornton, also respects Zhuo Lao. Zhuo Lao's usual life is very casual, if he wants, he will go to the trading market to check and check the wool, and when he doesn't want to, he will go fishing, and no one will interfere in his life.
"Jade Saint? Are you Li Yang who has been pressing Lao Ma's apprentice and can't hold his head up? โ
Zhuo Lao stood up suddenly, his eyes rolled again, and the white pupils in his eyes were very scary, so that Wang Jiajia couldn't help but let Li Yang lean on him again, even Li Yang himself also had a feeling of hair shrugging.
Sandala was stunned for a moment, he brought Li Yang to introduce the two to each other, not to mention anything else, but in terms of gambling stones, the two people Sandara admired the most were them. It's just that Sandala never thought that Zhuo Lao would actually mention Shao Yuqiang when he saw Li Yang.
The only one who can call the Jade King an old horse is Zhuo Lao, and the only one who is famous as the Jade King's apprentice is Shao Yuqiang.
The third watch, Xiao Yu is dealing with the affairs of the family, and he is about to finish his work, and Xiao Yu will have four shifts after the end!ใ
