Chapter 47: God Opens the Window
"Take a look at the two of you, the wool is excellent, don't miss it when you pass by!" Walking to a small stall, the proprietress saw the two of them walking all the way, talked about it, seemed to be very interested, and hurriedly greeted the business.
Wu Chen sounded the "walked" college entrance examination question, and there was a strange article on the Internet that began with this shout, and he laughed out loud. Huang Xiaolin was a little dazed beside him, not knowing why he was stupid again, and was about to ask him.
The proprietress was a troublemaker, and when she saw that they were reacting, she hurriedly said: "Pretty boy, seeing that you are full of energy and smiling on your face, you will definitely be able to make a good omen!" β
Wu Chen was stunned, this eldest sister wouldn't be all the way with Chen's crooked mouth, right? It's all a set when it comes to talking.
Huang Xiaolin walked over with great interest, and Wu Chen also stepped forward, only to see that there were a lot of jade rough stones on the stall, the big ones were slightly larger than basketballs, and the small ones were only the size of fists.
He didn't know that this jadeite raw material, no matter how good the water head was, still looked very different from the finished product. This requires continuous eye training in order to have a more accurate judgment.
Taking advantage of the gap between Huang Xiaolin's picking, Wu Chen secretly looked intently, his field of vision was not wide, and he could only see a few rough stones in front of him.
As his gaze entered the stones, disappointment struck again, and he had quietly explored along the way, he could indeed see these stones inside, but he didn't wait for him to be excited for too long, and he found that the gambling stones here were really ordinary, either there was no jadeite, and the white expanse was full of stones, and even if there was, the farming was very poor, and there was no crystal brilliance at all.
Could it be that this gambling stone is the same as picking up leaks? Lucky enough to come across one? That's a real death!
Wu Chen was disappointed, and wanted to pull Huang Xiaolin away, but suddenly the corner of his eyes lit up, and a grapefruit-sized, black-looking rough stone attracted him. Sometimes the attraction is not only particularly beautiful, but also particularly ugly things, every time you walk on the road with Big Tooth, if someone pays attention to them, the first thing to see must be Big Tooth, this is the effect of outstanding characteristics.
The same is true of this gambling stone, not because of how beautiful it is, but because it looks very ugly, and it is full of small pits, as if it has been eaten by insects, and it is quietly placed in a corner of the stall.
At this time, Wu Chen had already retracted his vision, he was not very comfortable with it, and he always had a feeling of cheating. I'm afraid that the distance is close, this is scattered, the two girls around me are afraid that they are going to run out, Huang Xiaolin is okay, looking at the age of the proprietress, I don't know how many babies are!
He was curious, so he took a closer look at the ugly gambling stone again, and when he entered, he saw that the middle of the stone was a little off, and a green glow appeared in his field of vision.
On closer inspection, the texture is not bad, and the sense of transparency is very strong! It should be ice or something. Although he doesn't know much yet, he has heard people talk about what kind of ice and what kind of glass all day long, and he knows a little bit of terminology, and he has seen a lot of finished parts during this time, and he can still distinguish the various textures of jadeite.
Wu Chen felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and finally let himself find a piece of valuable goods! Although it is not big, the most transparent green part in the middle should be able to cut two ring faces or something. This is the first time he has "checked" something! It's as if God suddenly opened a window, and it was as if he could see the vast sky outside!
Afraid that he would yell loudly, Wu Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the strong desire in his heart to just scream loudly, picked up the gambling stone, turned his head and said to the proprietress: "Sister, how can this piece be sold?" β
The proprietress was giving Huang Xiaolin guidance on how to choose a gambling stone, and when she heard Wu Chen ask the price, she was also happy, and finally did not saliva in vain, and looked at the gambling stone in Wu Chen's hand, "Pretty boy is really a good eye!" This piece is 5,000 yuan. β
"Five thousand? Why is it so expensive? Before Wu Chen could reply, Huang Xiaolin had already said in surprise, five thousand is not much, but you can buy such a stone?! If it's like this, what kind of house are you selling, just sell the stones.
"Hehe, pretty girl, this is not expensive, you also know the way, how much does a kilogram of wool sell for now! It's the first time you've patronized, and it's so cheap, and if you open something, you'll have to take care of my business more in the future." The proprietress knew that they were all outsiders, so they were still "guiding", and they didn't care about Huang Xiaolin's surprise at all.
"Eldest sister, I really want to buy it, don't fool me, these things of yours are almost leftover wool, right? It's as much as you can sell, that's it, a thousand yuan, and I can't afford more. Wu Chen thought about it and paid back the price, although he didn't know how to gamble on stones, but he had been shopping in the antique street a lot, and he still knew how to bargain.
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he saw that the proprietress still wanted to raise the price, so he simply took out his wallet, except for some gross tickets, it was really only more than a thousand yuan, "You have to leave some travel expenses for me, right?" β
"Done!" Wu Chen's trick was a bit of a bachelor, and the proprietress was also happy, took the money, and took a black plastic bag and put it up for him.
Huang Xiaolin saw that Wu Chen had bought a piece, so she picked up the piece that the proprietress had just introduced to her, and also shouted to buy it. This is not going for the stones, but for the proprietress, who let the proprietress just now praise her for being beautiful, so do you have to take care of her business.
Wu Chen took the gambling stone from her hand, pretended to take it under the light bulb in the corner of the stall to check it, and took the opportunity to quickly stare at it. It doesn't matter if you look at it, he inhales in his heart and marvels at Huang Xiaolin's luck!
This gambling stone is not big, but in its center, it contains a piece of yellow jadeite, which is larger than a fist, although the texture is not transparent, but it is extremely greasy, with the color of yellow cancan, there are many people!
People are more angry than people! It seems that ability is one thing, the key depends on character! Wu Chen shook his head and laughed at himself in his heart, could it be that Lao Tzu's character is so bad! After talking to the proprietress about the price for a while, I finally bought it for more than 2,000 yuan and sent it to Huang Xiaolin. Huang Xiaolin didn't know what was in the road, and said with a smile that this was a gift for herself! Have the hostess pack it in a bag as well.
"Eldest sister, do you have any help cutting stones here?" Wu Chen gave Huang Xiaolin the bag containing the root carving, picked up a stone in each of his left and right hands, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly thought that he could cut the stone and take away the useful ones, these two stones don't look big, and it's not light to carry in his hands!
"Cut stones? You mean calcite, right? I don't have this stall, do you see the "Junshixuan" in front of you? There is there, but there is a fee, 50 yuan for a knife. The proprietress shook her head.
A small vendor like her, in fact, is no better than Wu Chen, as far as the proprietress is concerned, she was still selling cheap clothes before, and the jade industry has been popular in the past two years, so she squeezed in, rented a stall, and got some "stones" from those big shops that others don't want to sell, mainly for people like Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin who want to hang around and want to play, everyone wants to have fun. In case the business is not good, the stall will be closed and left in minutes. Today, I received 3,000 yuan in business, and the proprietress was happy in her heart, and she was very enthusiastic to help Wu Chen show the way.
"Thanks!" Following the direction pointed out by the proprietress, Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin came to the door of a shop, the store has a large faΓ§ade, but the decoration is very simple and simple, two large logs are vertically used as a gate, and a black plaque is hung on it, with three golden characters of "Junshixuan" written on it.
The foyer is lined with rows of jade counters, illuminated by searchlights, not much different from the jewelry stores upstairs. It's just that the store is a little deserted, and when Wu Chen and the others walked in, a waitress in a red skirt was lying on the counter, yawning listlessly.
"Excuse me, can you help someone solve the stone here?" Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin looked at each other, yes, this is indeed "Junshi Xuan", but this is the place where the stone can be solved? Is the proprietress mistaken?
The waiter glanced up at them, and when he heard that it was going to be dissolved, he pointed to the back with his hand, and then lay down and continued to be in a daze. Wu Chen smiled bitterly, this little girl, I don't know how the shopkeeper of Lu Dao was recruited, no wonder she is so lonely in this business. He followed the waiter's gesture and looked over, and saw that there was a door similar to a safe passage, which was tightly closed, and the little girl should be referring to this place, so he walked over with Huang Xiaolin.
Pushing open the "security door", the two found that the depth of the store was actually quite long, and a long passage extended over, with rooms on both sides, and I don't know if the corridor was a warehouse or a staff lounge.
Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin walked along the passage, and halfway through, they heard the "squeak" of the machine, accompanied by indistinct human voices, like a decoration site. At the end of the passage, the same "security door" was pushed open, and the space suddenly became open. I really didn't expect that there is a large courtyard behind this Jun Shixuan, which is several times larger than the front hall, and there must be 7 or 8 shops open, and the lights inside are bright, I really can't tell that this is underground!
In the middle of the compound, there are several piles of gambling stones in the east and west, and a group of people are surrounded by each pile of gambling stones.
Looking around again, except for the entrance to the entrance, there are some cutting machines on the other three sides, large and small, all kinds of stone chips and dust are spread all over the ground, and I don't know how long the road has not been cleaned. There were several stone dissolving machines working, and they were even more dusty, but there were many people around, and the creaking sound of cutting stones made Wu Chen feel that his teeth were sore, and those people stood so close but they didn't seem to hear it.
