Chapter Ninety-Six: Gambling Stones

At this time, Xiao Er had already brought up the dishes they ordered in turn. No matter how beautiful Jade sounds, it can't fill her stomach, and with the food in front, several people have no interest in continuing to talk, and they have picked up chopsticks to eat.

After eating for a while, there was something in the stomach, and finally I didn't feel so empty anymore, and Jiang Rong and the others felt alive again.

After eating, several people didn't want to move for a while, so they simply ordered tea and snacks again, and continued the topic just now while eating.

Liufeng couldn't wait to ask: "Childe, what kind of jadeite rough is Danyang County just now, and what is the jadeite rough?" ”

Pei Xiu poured himself a cup of tea, took it and took a sip, and suddenly raised his eyes to see a flash of clarity in Jiang Rong's eyes on the other side, and his heart moved, and said, "Ah Rong seems to know a lot about this, why don't you tell me?" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Rong suddenly heard that he was named, and couldn't help but look at Pei Xiu in surprise, and met his smiling eyes.

Want to see my jokes? Hmph, I'm not as good as you like! Just say it, what's the big deal, my aunt doesn't know!

Jiang Rong took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, coughed lightly, and spoke in a casual voice, "The so-called jadeite rough is a kind of stone excavated from the jadeite mine, and the jadeite jade we use to make jewelry is extracted from there.

"Because people can't directly judge whether there is jadeite in the rough stone, it has derived the industry of 'gambling stone'."

"Yo, Xiao Rongrong understands a lot!" Xiao Yu's tone was quite exaggerated.

Jiang Rong's delicate little eyebrows were slightly raised, and he glanced at him calmly, "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." The more you read books, the more people and things you see, and the more things you understand. It's not like some people, a lot of age, they all live to the belly of a dog. ”

"Poof-" Xiao Yu was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he spit it out unexpectedly.

The two of them covered their mouths and snickered. Even Mo Chuan, who has always been silent, pulled the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh or not.

Xiao Yu wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and was about to fire at Jiang Rong, but the head back to Xue asked, blocking back all the words he was about to say.

"Ah Rong, what's the matter with this gambling stone you are talking about? I've only heard of gambling money and dice or something, how can this stone still gamble? How to gamble? ”

Without waiting for Jiang Rong to reply, a fat man in his forties and fifties next to him took the initiative to talk: "The girl is the first time to come to our Danyang County, right?" ”

"How does Uncle know?" Hui Xue was a little surprised, they didn't look any different from the people in Danyang County, how could they tell people apart at a glance?

"Hey, so that the girl knows, we have another name in Danyang County, called 'Gambling Stone City', there are no local people who don't know about gambling stones, isn't the girl exposed when she asked just now?"

Hui Xue pursed her lower lip embarrassedly, it turned out to be so.

She simply asked, "Can the uncle tell us what is going on with this gambling stone?" ”

The fat man's name is Liu Jun, he lives in this Danyang County, his ancestors have been doing the raw stone and jade business for several generations, and when it was passed on to his generation, the family is also a small asset, and the only thing he loves most in his life is "stone", so he couldn't help but interject when he heard Jiang Rong talking about gambling stones just now.

At this time, I heard Hui Xue ask about his favorite trade, and immediately explained it to her very enthusiastically.

"This gambling stone, is the gambling of the jadeite rough in the end can open jadeite, if it can, that is cut up, if it is cut to the white flower stone, then you have to consider yourself unlucky.

"There are a few words in our line of work that you must remember. This first sentence, a knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife wears linen, do you know what it means? ”

Several people shook their heads honestly.

Jiang Rong had seen a movie about gambling stones in his previous life, and since then he has become a little interested in gambling stones and jadeite, and he went to find a few books to read, so he knows a little about the situation of gambling stones.

But it's only limited to some superficial things, if she really wants to gamble on stones, she is blinded and can't do anything.

This fat uncle obviously knows a lot about gambling stones, and listening to what he said can really increase a lot of knowledge, so several people listened very seriously.

This sentence is to say, in the process of gambling on stones, some people cut the price up, and gambled out a piece of high-quality jadeite with a good head, and in the blink of an eye, a few taels of silver can be sold for thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels.

"And some people spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy the material, cut it with one cut, but they lose the gamble, there is a dry **** material in it, or there is nothing at all, it can be said that it is worthless, and it is not necessary to give it to people for nothing.

"There are also those who don't lose or win, and the value of the jade cut out can barely be the same as the original price, and it is still the value of civilians, so they wear sackcloth."

"I see." Everyone suddenly didn't expect that there were such words contained in this short sentence, and they listened more seriously for a while.

“…… In this second sentence, it is difficult for the gods to break the jade. Don't look at the simple six words of this sentence, it actually contains a university question, but it is a summary of the experience of many predecessors.

"The jadeite rough, no one can predict what is going on inside until it is cut. However, the history of gambling stones has a long history, and the predecessors have also summed up a lot of experience.

"In general, jade is recognizable, and there are certain rules to follow. Experienced gambling stone masters can judge the situation inside the jade material by looking at its field mouth, python belt, texture, etc.

"But when it comes to some special circumstances, even if there is an inch of jade meat exposed in the jade material, there is no guarantee of how much it has eaten, and the subsequent situation is impossible to identify. Even no matter how experienced a master is, there will be times when he will be eye-catching. ”

"It is difficult for the gods to break the jade, even if the gods are coming, I can't tell what the situation is in the stone, which also shows the difficulty of gambling on the stone from the side. So, don't get in as soon as your head is hot. ”

“…… Cut it with a knife, hey, it's up, but don't be too happy, because this piece of jade meat may only be such a thin layer that you can't even carve a ring. With another knife, the jade meat is gone, but there is no need to be sad and lost, because there is actually no one out of ten who can really gamble on the gambling stone.

"There is also a possibility that the situation is not ideal after the first knife is unraveled, but you can't blindly deny it, because often the cute green meat is hidden behind the second knife, which shows that a piece of jade material can not be denied lightly, and no one can be sure whether there is jade hidden in it until the last step."

"The most important thing is to have a normal heart, if you can't look at it calmly and rationally, then I advise you not to get involved in it, otherwise, in the end, you may only end up with a miserable ending of bankruptcy, wife and separation.

"If you can achieve 'not to be happy with things, not to be sad with yourself', then it means that you have cultivated at home. However, my Lao Liu has been in the rough stone business for most of his life, and I have never seen such a character. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jun laughed at himself, "Don't talk about others, it's me, and I'm still in a mood for a piece of material." ”

"Stone doesn't deceive people, it's just people coaxing. Nowadays, the world is declining, the profit of gambling stone is too large, some people in order to make money to cheat their conscience, take some fake materials to deceive people, and also specially coax novices like you from other places. ”

As he spoke, Liu Jun glanced at Jiang Rong and them.

This sentence is to remind those who gamble on the stone to open their eyes to be optimistic, the quality of the inside of the jade material, there is a certain amount of reflection on the outer skin, you can identify the inside through the appearance, and you must carefully analyze it to eliminate the situation of artificial fraud, so there is a saying that "there are only people when they are back, and there is no goods when they are back". ”

"Of course, these are for those veterans, and people like you who may not have even touched a stone can recognize which is the real raw jade."

Later, Liu Jun said that "I would rather buy a line than a piece", "I would rather buy ten drums than a spine", "see more and buy less, grind more and solve less", "hardships and hardships, jade and ru are successful", "the old dragon stone is high" and other jargon.

There is also "chopsticks number" means two, and "smoke pot rod" indicates the "black words" that may appear in sixth-class transactions.

After listening, Jiang Rong and the others felt that they were still unsatisfied, and they had gained more knowledge, but they didn't expect that the word "gambling stone" was easy to say, but it contained great knowledge.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Jun blinked suddenly, and said with a smile, "Your appearance reminds me of the situation when I first set foot in gambling stones." ”

As he spoke, his face showed a bit of nostalgia and melancholy, but this expression appeared on his old fat face, which was really funny.

Suddenly, he slapped the back of his head as if he thought of something, "Look at me, I forgot the time, I'm still in a hurry to go to Li's house to watch the gambling battle, so I won't talk to you." ”

As he spoke, he got up from his seat and arched his hand towards Jiang Rong and them, "It's also fate to meet you juniors today, and I, Liu Jun, have a bit of face in Danyang County, look at you newcomers, if there is anything, you can go to find me."

"I opened a jade shop in Sajin Lane, Yanglou Street, Xishi, called 'Cuiyuxuan', you can find it when you go. Okay, brother, I'll go first, and we'll have a meeting later. ”

Jiang Rong and a few others also hurriedly got up to return the salute and said, "Uncle go slowly." ”

"Thank you Uncle for explaining our doubts today, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely visit your store."

Hearing this, Liu Jun's fat face like Maitreya Buddha suddenly smiled, squinted and said, "It's easy to say." Then I won't delay a few meals, brother, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

He arched his hand again, and then walked slowly downstairs. (To be continued.) )
