"It's not very good in terms of skin and size." I held the wool in the palm of my hand and shook it, and bargained, "Two thousand." ”

The boss of the cutting machine shook his head vigorously: "Three thousand is already the lowest price, you go to the third floor of Yanjing Xiaoying Jewelry City to inquire, and the rough stone in your hand will be auctioned for at least three thousand five to four thousand yuan." "If I didn't know that there was Gao Cui in the wool, I wouldn't have bought it from him, the price was too dark. But now, even if he asks for 20,000 yuan, I have to buy it.

After that, the two men who were with the boss began to help the middle-aged man who had bought the wool to solve the stone.

I was afraid that the small yellow-brown wool would be picked up, so I held it in my hand and didn't let go, and took out thirty bills from my wallet and gave it to the boss: "I want this piece, you count it." ”

"Okay." The boss asked someone to go into the stamp shop and walked around the money counter, "Wait a minute, young man, there is only one machine, and then you will solve your piece after solving his piece." ”

After the boss discussed with the middle-aged man about the opening of the window, the cutting machine creaked.

Immediately, the screeching sound of the wheels rubbing against the rough stone was heard in vain.

I stopped my ears and stared at it without blinking. Soon, a smooth cut was made on the side of more than a dozen catties of wool, but there was still a black stone inside, and there was not even a green shadow. The middle-aged man said with a calm face: "Keep wiping!" The machine started again, grinding the rough stone one by one. Over time, the wool thickness gradually decreases.

Sixteen pounds become ten pounds.

Ten catties become eight catties.

Eight catties become four catties.

When the last piece was split in half, the audience erupted in boos, "Finish! ”

Colorless, waterless, and green, tens of thousands of dollars are considered to be in vain, and they have collapsed!

The middle-aged man looked very ugly, cursed at the broken stone, turned around and left.

"Mirror! Mirror! ”

I was about to hand over the wool to my boss with my arm paused in mid-air, hesitated to take it back, and turned to look across the road. Jiang Yan, who had a lollipop in her mouth, was waving her big arms and waving at me, and there were four people next to her, two men and two women, all of whom should be members of the antique club. I'd heard of three of them, the short, fat girl and the twin boys, and the rest of them were a bit of a bit of a sight to behold, as if they hadn't seen much of a school boy.

"This is the Gu Jing I mentioned to you, he has a lot of research on walnuts, you just call him a mirror." Jiang Yan seems to be born with a self-acquaintance, and although she and I have only known each other for two days, she acts like an old friend for many years.

After introducing me, she pointed to the fat girl who weighed more than 300 pounds and said, "Tangerine, my roommate." "Because her body size is too exaggerated, she left a deep impression on me on the first day of school, at that time, everyone said that she was 1.5 meters horizontally and 1.5 meters vertically.

The girl on the left side of the orange that I haven't seen is called Baked Cake, which is also from Jiang Yan's dormitory, and she has a lot of sesame-like pockmarks on her face, no wonder she is nicknamed "Baked Cake".

The two twin boys, the elder brother referred to as Da Jia and the younger brother referred to as Xiao Jia, are both sophomores.

We got to know each other for a while, and at this time, Jiang Yan noticed the stone in my hand, and said "show me" in a hurry, grabbed it in her arms, looked left, looked right, and handed it back to me, and said strangely: "Bought it?" How did you pick this piece? Isn't the skin color performance very good? ”

I couldn't tell the truth, and said, "Fooling around." ”

Then, Jiang Yan walked to the wool pile and pulled it, and after a while, she shook her head in disappointment and walked back: "I thought it was fresh goods, this batch is not good, the mining plants are not together, the skin is poor, small, and the price is expensive, so it is not recommended to buy, well, I will give you an account, even if there is green in it, ninety percent of it is also a low-grade bean seed jade, which is worth 20,000 yuan, but how much is your rough stone?" It's nearly 10,000, and it's not worth it at all. ”

Tangerine said: "Then you can make 10,000 yuan when you open it." ”

I don't like to talk very much, so I just listen quietly.

"Silly hat, do you think it's a little cabbage on the side of the road?" Jiang Yan seems to have studied the gambling stone, and said: "The key is that it can't be opened, people say that ten bets and nine loses, but the fineness of this batch of wool materials, one hundred yuan may not be able to rub up one piece, and a typical hundred bets and ninety-nine losses." Suddenly, her big smart eyes aimed at me: "But gambling stones, you can't see it until the last moment, come on the mirror, hehe, try to cut out a full emerald glass seed!" ”

I smiled: "I will borrow your good words." ”

Dajia said to me: "Yanyan's family is in the jade business, and she often deals with stones. ”

It dawned on me that it was no wonder that she didn't know anything about walnuts, but she was very good at reading wool.

While a few of us were talking, a pair of small couples over there bought a piece of wool weighing about nine pounds, and the boss's inquiring eyes turned to me, and I said, "I'm not in a hurry, you can open it for them first." The little worker in the back picked up the cutter according to the route designated by the little couple. The two of them were in a hurry, and they couldn't stand the torture of one knife after another, so they didn't let the boss wipe the stone, but chose to cut the stone from the middle.

This method is convenient and fast, and the only drawback is that there is a certain chance that the jadeite inside will be broken.

Oranges and baked cakes may not be very interested in gambling stones, and the two hold hands and chat.

Jiang Yan and Xiao Jia looked at the wool cut intently, for fear of missing the first touch of green.

However, the truth is exactly what the saying is true - it is difficult for the gods to break an inch, and it is often a few people who make a fortune.

The stone is split in two, and the interior is empty, just like the wool of the previous middle-aged person.

"Another scrap."

"yes, how easy is it to get green?"

The little couple unwillingly let the little worker cut a few more knives, until the wool was divided into four and four into eight, and then they accepted the fate of losing the bet.

"It's our turn! It's our turn! Jiang Yan pushed me on the back a few times encouragingly, "Do you need to burn incense to worship God and Buddha?" ”

"It's not that particular." I shook my head with a smile and handed the hot wool in my hand to the worker.

The oranges and the pancakes stopped chatting and crowded through the crowd.

The boss asked, as is customary, "How do you want to drive?" ”

I asked Jiang Yan's opinion and said, "Slip out of the side of the drum and wipe it slowly, just don't make it too big." ”

I've always been cautious, I don't have the courage to solve stones, and don't experts say that you should rub more and solve less?

Seeing the yellow-brown wool being brought closer and closer to the cutter, my heart beat faster.

One knife is poor, one knife is rich, I want to be a rich man can realize my dream, so I only look at this knife.
