Chapter 37: Gambling
With the support of book friends, Fengxiao rushed to the sixth place on the newcomer list, thank you, and please continue to support.
In the past few days, it has been the end of the year, and it is rare for Chen Taizhong to relax, so he wants to collect some materials and redo the Sumeru ring.
Last time, his Sumeru ring was refined with a few change cones, and then he made a silver trap on his hand, which was also in line with his identity as a high school student, but this time it couldn't be so simple.
Now the quality of this cone is too bad, Chen Taizhong is thinking about what materials to use, Brother Biao came to the door, with 500,000 yuan in his bag, he knew that the village chief was back, but he didn't want to wait for this person to come to the door.
Now, there is money to buy some good things, Chen Taizhong is very happy, but he immediately realized something: "By the way, I seem to have made a request to you?" ”
Brother Biao's face wrinkled bitterly, "This, that photo...... The year is over, the ladies are all going home, I haven't succeeded yet, Brother Chen, Rong Xiaobiao, I'll slow down, can I succeed? ”
Chen Taizhong squinted at this Brother Biao for a long time and didn't say a word, but with that sharp eye, Brother Biao was covered in hair.
After a while, he spoke in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll give you two more months, and when the time comes, if you can't find Miss again, then send your horse out of the horse, do you understand?" ”
"Understood," Brother Biao didn't say a word, turned around and left, what the fuck is this state cadre? It's better than me.
Chen Taizhong didn't bother to pay attention to him, he had another 500,000 yuan on his hand, it seems that he can buy some good jade to make rings, this kind of material is suitable for his current identity, and it is not as tacky as gold rings or platinum rings.
Thinking so, he found a sturdy black plastic bag and went out with the 550,000 yuan, near Xiguan in Phoenix City, there is a large jade trading market, there are many jade shops in it, and jade rough stones are for sale.
This thing of jade, in the legend is able to ward off evil, although it is close to the end of the year, but there are still a lot of people who wander around here, nothing more than to bring some small jade ornaments home, in the Spring Festival to give to the children.
Distinguishing jade, Chen Taizhong is more adept, in fact, no immortal is not good at this, the good jade in their eyes may not be the best in the eyes of ordinary people, but there is no doubt that it is definitely not bad.
Just like the hype of Junzi Orchid, stamp sheetlets, and Tibetan mastiff and Pu'er tea in the following years, there is also speculation in jade, and those jades worth millions of dollars that rely on speculation naturally cannot enter Chen Taizhong's eyes.
Today's luck is not very good, he went to seven or eight houses in a row, only to see a jade Maitreya in one house, and the lean boss seemed to see his affection, and his mouth was eighty-eight thousand, without bargaining.
Chen Taizhong is not good at counteroffering, but he is very happy to try this now, but after half an hour of foaming at the mouth, he still has to leave gloomily, "This jade is just like this, why does this guy think I have to buy it?" I won't buy it yet, you regret going. ”
Whether the boss regretted it, he didn't know, but, for the next half an hour, he got nothing, and he regretted it a little, well, do you want to turn back?
Learning to eat back grass seems to be a science, Chen Taizhong cheered himself up, and waited to turn around.
Hey? Over here? What's going on here?
Not far ahead, at the door of a jade shop, there are more than a dozen large and small stones, which are encircled with ropes, and there are two men guarding them.
Here, it is a place to gamble on jade, also known as "gambling on stones", which is an ancient way of trading jade materials. People can sell the rough stone of jade, which was called Pu in ancient times, so it is also called "gambling Pu".
Ordinary people, it is difficult to see the jade content, when gambling, the buyer is not allowed to cut the jade rough before buying, as for the purchase can not buy good jade, it all depends on luck, of course, a little vision is also indispensable.
"How do you sell this stone?" Chen Taizhong asked, and after a few glances, he understood the content of these stones, "How much is a piece?" ”
A man sitting idle stretched out two fingers, "Two thousand pieces, which one is the one you see." ”
"Two thousand?" Chen Taizhong pondered, he knew in his heart that there were two stones, and there was really some goods in them, but now he has become a habit of making prices, "It's so expensive, it's cheaper, right?" ”
"It's not cheap, these are all jade rough stones from Burma," the man shook his head, "Are you playing with jade?" Burmese rough stones! Figured it out? ”
Chen Taizhong swept it carefully with the eye of heaven, yes, there is really a bit of jadeite in those two stones, which is more suitable for refining the Sumeru ring than the Maitreya made of nephrite jade he saw just now.
However, among these stones, there are no jade cores, all of them are miscellaneous small bits and pieces, although those two pieces are enough to buy back, but the condition is definitely not much better.
"Burmese jade, those two thousand are a little less," Chen Taizhong nodded, and then shook his head again, "However, look at the jade veins and color on the stone...... Forget it, what else is there to offer? ”
The idler glanced at him up and down, his eyes swept over the black plastic bag in his hand, and nodded understandingly, "Well, I really want to, there are good goods in the house, and these are all played by ordinary people." ”
In the house, there are still seven or eight stones, which are larger than the outside, but the jade veins are much denser, and the fineness is much better, that is, the probability of producing good jade is much greater than that of the stones outside.
A tall and thin guy in the house, who looked like the boss, was explaining to a young woman with a bitter face, "I said, eldest sister, gambling on jade, willing to fight, willing to suffer, you can't blame me if you bet on jade, right?" ”
"Did I blame you? I can afford to lose this money, "The young woman is very tall, almost 1.7 meters old, she looks as bright as a peach blossom, and her figure can be called perfect, especially the pair of Xiu long beautiful legs, which are almost as long as Chen Taizhong's legs."
This woman is well-dressed, it is the kind that is ripe, and she looks very elegant, "I just want you to lower the price, 20,000 yuan, okay?" ”
"That's not negotiable," the boss shook his head desperately, he knew that this woman was rich, "I can't ask for money to buy goods?" Even if you wrap these eight pieces round, 3824000, you can't miss a cent. ”
"Xiao Pan, you stinky boy, you have a good temper recently," the woman was a little unhappy, but even if she scolded people like this, it couldn't affect her graceful and noble temperament, "Just gambling on jade, I also sent you more than 200,000 yuan here, right?" What's the matter, now that you've learned not to give up? ”
What do you think of "Xiao Pan", he is also the master of Ben Wuzhang, who was called so by a woman about twenty-three or fourteen years old, and dared not speak angrily, so he had to turn his head to Chen Taizhong, "What do you want to order?" ”
"I want Yubei," Chen Taizhong was exposed to the sun for a long time, feeling a little unhappy, "Could it be that you still sell tofu here?" ”
