Chapter 48: Immortal Broken Jade
Wu Chen shook his head, and saw that although Huang Xiaolin was frowning, his eyes were full of curiosity, so he said, and the two walked to a stone pile in the middle, there were many people here, although the discussion was not loud, but it was also buzzing, and the two of them couldn't hear what they were talking about. I looked through the cracks in the people, and saw that there were a lot of gambling stones piled up inside, and they were all very large, with a hundred or ten pounds, which was completely incomparable with the stalls they went outside for.
In the circle of people, there are three people squatting, observing a gambling stone more than half a meter high, the guy in his hand has heard everything, it is a flashlight and a magnifying glass, and one guy actually went down and licked it with his tongue.
Why is it so disgusting?! What does that mean? Huang Xiaolin glanced at Wu Chen with starry eyes, waiting for the "expert" to answer. Wu Chen grinned, where did he know that he said, he can't say that buddy has a fetish! asked a middle-aged man next to him very modestly: "This big brother, what is he doing?" Why do you use your tongue too? ”
The middle-aged man was stretching his neck, looking inside with concern on his face, and he didn't react to Wu Chen's question at all, which made Wu Chen a little embarrassed, forget it, let's take a look first.
The three people who were squatting inside to watch the stones, busy for a while, then got out of the way, stepped aside, and discussed in a low voice, not glancing at the people around them, as if they were afraid of overheard.
At this time, another group of people stepped forward, and they also observed in a group of appearances. There were also some people in the crowd, who seemed to be a little ready to move, gathered in groups of three or five, talking to each other, their faces full of passion, and deliberately keeping their voices very low.
Being in it, I could feel a strange aura in the crowd, as if I was doing something mysterious and unspeakable, which surprised Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin, who had just arrived at the gambling stone scene, and they were also careful not to speak loudly.
Huang Xiaolin is even more like a curious baby, from time to time attached to Wu Chen's ear to ask this and that, the breath coming from his ears makes Wu Chen's heart like N more than ants crawling, from time to time there is a stream of blood surging up to the top of the brain, and the scalp is itchy. I have a lot of opinions in my heart.,Sister paper, why don't you consciously do it.,Do you do it like this.,How can you be embarrassed by your buddy!
"It's not good!" The middle-aged uncle next to him suddenly shook his head and said in a low voice. Wu Chen glanced at him, uncle, you haven't even gone over to take a closer look, how can you know the way? Do you have the same ability to see through as yourself?
"How? Intrigued? Want to bet? The uncle just turned his head and saw Wu Chen looking at him, and he couldn't hide a trace of excitement in his face full of questions, and it was another mallet! After asking, seeing Wu Chen, he smiled, and said earnestly, "Young man, listen to the uncle's advice, don't touch this thing if you can't touch it, it's the same as gambling, nine out of ten bets are lost, but everyone thinks they will be the one who wins!" Don't look at these people carefully, when it comes to the Tao, in fact, I don't know what it will be like when the ghost opens up..."
"Yes, yes." Wu Chen nodded in agreement, but he was full of slander in his heart, uncle, you were still engaged just now, and now you will start to lecture, no wonder they all say that Chinese people are born to be good teachers. Besides, you are always bad at this, why are you crowded here as a passerby, and you are not making movies, and the extras still have money to get.
What makes Huang Xiaolin feel strange is that although this gambling stone is valuable, it is not ridiculously expensive, just put these two pieces under their feet, and the total is more than 3,000 yuan, and the one that everyone looks at in the middle, although the size is very large, it should be ten times the gambling stone he just bought, and it is only 10,000 yuan, for those of them who are in the industry, can they use it so carefully?
She saw that the middle-aged man was still immersed in the joy of being a teacher, so she interrupted him, "Uncle, is that piece of rough stone very expensive?" Looking at their appearance, why are they so cautious? ”
The middle-aged man finally caught a person who was "modest and willing to learn", and was in the middle of cooling, when he was suddenly interrupted, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and his face was full of unteachable expressions. However, when I looked back and saw that Huang Xiaolin looked amazing, the unhappiness in my heart decreased a few points, and said: "That piece of material was just entered by the shopkeeper, and the reserve price was 1.5 million, but there are several groups of people looking at it, and the transaction price should be more than this at that time..."
"One hundred and fifteen..."Wu Chen and Huang Xiaolin were startled at the same time, just a small house on top of that broken stone? I don't know what it's like inside the road, but if it's just a stone, a house will be gone?!
The middle-aged man saw that the two of them looked frightened, so he explained to them, it turned out that the difference in the price of this rough stone is also very large, generally two or three hundred per kilogram, and hundreds of thousands of gambling stones per kilogram. For example, a rough stone from the old pit in Hpakant last year was auctioned for more than 100 million US dollars on the spot.
These words subverted their original ideas at once, no wonder some people gamble on losers! Looking back at the cautious appearance of those people in the middle, it is easy to understand, one and a half million, not one hundred and fifty yuan. Huang Xiaolin saw that Wu Chen was as ignorant as herself, and it seemed that this "expert" was not very reliable, so she asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, can they judge the composition of the jade inside?" ”
"Can't!" The middle-aged man replied very simply, without hesitation at all, "There is an old saying in the industry that 'immortals are difficult to break an inch of jade', and even immortals can't do it, let alone these individuals." However, there are rules for everything, gambling stones for hundreds of years, and the industry also has some of its own standards and methods, such as skin shells, moss marks or something, which can increase some certainty, but to say 100% certainty, it is impossible! ”
"I understand this, just like an exam, the more experienced, the more you know, when the teacher will be distracted, when is the best opportunity to cheat!" Wu Chen made a very popular analogy to Huang Xiaolin.
"Empiricism often kills people!" Huang Xiaolin really understood it at one point, reacted immediately, and said with a smile, Wu Chen has been good at summarizing the rules since he was a child, and often fooled his experience into practice, and the two of them were not less embarrassed.
"Cough~" Wu Chen's old face turned red when he said this, why bother to eat hard, "It seems that gambling on stones is the same as playing antiques, relying on experience and eyesight." However, experience and vision can only judge a high probability event, and there is no guarantee that there will be no error. No matter how professional you are, you also have the experience of eye-catching, and no matter how experienced you are a gambler, there is also a time to cut across. ”
This side is still whispering, but the person watching the gambling stone over there has already stood up. Someone immediately asked, "Mr. He, do you want to do something?" It seems that the popularity of this group of people here is still relatively high. One of the people in the group, a man about forty years old wearing a Tang costume, stood up, moved his head, and said: "It's okay, it's the yellow sand skin of the old pit, and it hasn't been processed!" If you're interested, you can give it a try. ”
After Wu Chen listened, how did he feel that this was called Mr. He's so much like Tuo! But it seems that everyone is still quite convinced of him, no, as soon as Mr. He's words were finished, the crowd around him was in a much higher mood.
In fact, in Wu Chen's opinion, most of these people are the same as himself, and they belong to soy sauce. More than one million gambling stones, where is it said that Bo is Bo. Since they were all soy sauce, Wu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to them and continue arguing there, thinking that he should quickly cut his own stone and talk about it.
Huang Xiaolin also felt that the air here was very turbid, and the cutting sound that sounded from time to time was also very noisy, but neither of them had solved the stone, so they didn't know where to start. I asked the middle-aged uncle, only to know that there is not only a stone machine for guests to use, for the guests who will not be able to solve the stone by themselves or are too lazy to do it themselves, there are also people who specialize in solving stones for them, the charge is the same, a knife fifty, whatever you want!
After Wu Chen inquired clearly, he carried two gambling stones and went to a stone dissolving machine with few people with Huang Xiaolin on the side. According to the middle-aged uncle, the person who is calcing stones in this position is the master who helps people solve stones.
When they got closer, they saw four or five people standing next to the stone machine, one of them was a man in a vest, cutting a stone, the muscles on his exposed arm bulging, he should have been doing this work for a long time.
"Master, can you please help me cut this rough stone?" Wu Chen stepped forward and shouted loudly. The person who was working was stunned for a moment, pointed to the side, and motioned for him to wait, Wu Chen obediently put the two stones under his feet.
A man with eyes on the side, who looked white and thin, was looking at the man nervously, but when he heard this, he looked back and saw Huang Xiaolin, his eyes lit up, and he was so handsome. With a bang, the stone had been completely cut, and everyone's attention suddenly returned to the stone.
"Brother Lin, how's it going?" The man with glasses asked the man nervously. The man named Brother Lin shook his head, turned off the machine, took down the gambling stone cut into two pieces, walked to the edge of a basin of water next to him, scooped a scoop of water, splashed it on the cut surface of the stone, wiped it with his hand a few times, and frowned to observe the two gambling stones.
"It's a pity!" Brother Lin looked at it for a while, stood up and shook his head, and said to the man with glasses, this piece of wool just wiped a small window, and it has revealed green, and the water head is not bad, but now there is nothing in it after cutting it.
The guy was already very nervous, and when he heard it, he was a little trembling, walked over quickly, squatted down and stroked the smooth cut with both hands, there were a few points of green on it, but unfortunately the texture was average, and the jade inside was still broken, which really killed him!
"Another piece collapsed." An old man who was almost sixty years old next to him also leaned over and shook his head.
Wu Chen saw that there were indeed a few cut stones on the ground, and most of the incisions were white, wouldn't they all be this man's, if that was the case, this guy would be really unlucky! No matter how ignorant he is, he also knows that this is a complete collapse! Who would buy a stone with white flowers!
