After eating and drinking, under Zhang Yilong's "strong" request, the old turtle had no choice but to promise him to accompany him to Wang Cripple's place, in fact, Zhang Yilong is very familiar with the surrounding environment, and naturally knows the location of Wang Cripple's jade shop, but due to the first time he saw the gambling stone, there are many things that are not clear, and he needs to consult the old turtle who has entered the industry.

After walking out of the hotel, it didn't take long for the turtle to take Zhang Yilong to Wang Cripple's jade shop, and they were attracted by a scene as soon as they walked to the door, only to see that there were a large number of people gathered there in the store, as if they were watching some interesting tricks.

"Old turtle, what are you doing?" Zhang Yilong said in surprise.

The turtle replied, "Someone is calcing stones in the shop, don't you hear the roar of the machine?" ”

"What do you mean by 'calcite'? Cut the stone open? Zhang Yilong asked casually.

The old turtle nodded and replied: "Yes, cutting a stone is a calf, that is the real sense of the 'gambling stone', because a stone can only be cut to know the specific situation, otherwise no one can judge whether it is a win or a loss." Xiaolong, let's go in and have a look, it's rare to encounter someone gambling on stones here in Haizhou. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, others plunged into Wang Cripple's jade shop, it seemed that he was very interested in watching others gamble on the stone, but Zhang Yilong, who followed behind, couldn't help but be a little confused, only to say that gambling stones have so much magic power, which made people fascinated.

But he soon thought about it, gambling on the stone is mysterious, exciting, and people who understand jadeite and jadeite rough are naturally fascinated, but what others think is very mysterious is nothing in his Zhang Yilong's eyes now, because he accidentally has a magical perspective eye, as long as he concentrates a little, he can see through any object, of course, including the jadeite rough.

When he found out the situation of gambling stones from the mouth of the old turtle, Zhang Yilong couldn't wait, he just wanted to try gambling stones and give full play to the unique advantages of his eyes.

At that moment, Zhang Yilong walked over unhurriedly and inserted into the crowd watching the excitement.

For Wang Cripple's jade shop, Zhang Yilong has been to it a few times before, and he is quite familiar with Wang Cripple, but he didn't pay attention to it in the past, it turns out that the other party is still engaged in jadeite rough trading.

After walking in, Zhang Yilong's eyes were quickly attracted by the scene in the center of the field, and it was clearly seen that Wang Cripple was cutting a stone with a small stone cutter, the stone was not big, about the size of Mo Chengren's two fists, and the appearance was grayish-white, indicating that most of the area on the ground looked very rough, and only a small part looked more delicate, but Zhang Yilong vaguely found that the surface of the whole stone was scattered with green texture, like a thin layer of moss, but some places were more conspicuousIn some places, the green component is difficult to see without looking closely.

There was also a person squatting next to Wang Cripple, it was an unfamiliar face, looking at his face was flushed, extremely nervous, Zhang Yilong could see that that person should be the boss of the gambling stone, and the stone they were cutting was from Wang Cripple's jade shop.

"Xiaolong, look, look at it, it's an excellent piece of jade wool!"

At this moment, someone on the side pulled Zhang Yilong by the hand, that person was naturally the old turtle who came with him to gamble on the stone, and at this moment the old turtle's eyebrows were dancing, and he was very excited.

"Wool?" Zhang Yilong turned his head and looked at the old turtle in surprise, he heard a new term again, but as the name suggests, he understood when he thought about it, the so-called "jadeite wool" should be the raw material of jadeite, that is, the rough stone.

"That's right!" The old turtle nodded and said, "Xiaolong, I've never seen such a green piece of material!" It can be said that it is a pigment, and it must be worth a lot of money, no wonder Boss Xiao put on such a big formation! ”

Zhang Yilong said as if he didn't understand: "Old turtle, the 'pigment' you said refers to high-grade jadeite wool, right?" Does it make any difference? Is it green on the surface, and the color of jadeite can be cut out on the inside? ”

"The pigment is high-grade or extra-high-grade jadeite wool." The old turtle said, "I can't say that, the pigment is just relatively better, but whether you can solve a good jadeite texture is not certain." Gambling on stones, everything is just a mystery, maybe. Xiaolong, don't talk about it, let's take a look first, the first cut of that stone is almost finished, and we'll know the situation later. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yilong nodded, then he turned around and looked intently at the piece of jade rough that was being cut on the photo field.

This is the first time Zhang Yilong has come to the scene to watch the gambling stone, and it is also the first time he has seen the legendary jade rough, and the novelty is naturally there, but he is not like the old turtles, one by one, they seem to be the same as the gambling stone himself, he is so excited and nervous.

Because......

Not long after the cutting knife in Wang Cripple's hand had just cut into the stone, Zhang Yilong's gaze had already easily penetrated and seen through the mysterious stone.

Although Zhang Yilong does not have a deep study of jadeite, he only knows some superficial jadeite common sense, but he doesn't need to learn to know that a piece of jadeite jade is good or bad, and he can judge it by looking at its color and texture, and his aesthetics are still very in line with the public's taste.

Looking at the stone in front of him, Zhang Yilong saw a clump of uneven green, as well as a rough texture rich in impurities, judging by his feelings, the jade contained in this jade wool at the moment is not of high purity, and the color is not beautiful, so he is not optimistic.

"Wow, it's out of the jade! So green! ”

The moment Zhang Yilong's eyes were withdrawn, he only heard an exclamation in his ears, and immediately, the atmosphere on the field rose.

Zhang Yilong found that Wang Cripple had cut a small hole in the stone, and what appeared on the mouth was the texture of a piece of jadeite, full of emerald green, which was similar to the half of the jade jade of the old turtle, but no one knew except Zhang Yilong, the situation of the small stone of the old turtle was much better, and this larger stone was honestly not very good.

"Hey, you're too early to be happy!" Zhang Yilong secretly thought, although he had never met, he was a little anxious for the boss, if the stone stopped, the boss and the old turtle slammed the door, then he might make money, but if he continued to cut, there might only be a dead end!

However, Zhang Yilong is only secretly anxious, he naturally won't go up and tell the truth, even if he tells the boss, the other party may not pay attention to him, what do you know as a novice.

"Boss Xiao, congratulations!" The lame king happily congratulated Boss Na Xiao.

Boss Xiao excitedly shook Wang's lame hand and laughed loudly: "Boss Wang, rejoice and rejoice!" Thank you for giving me such a good stone! ”

When the two of them were polite to each other, the audience on the side was also discussing, and at this moment, most people's eyes were fixed on Boss Xiao's body, and the admiration and envy in their eyes were about to overflow.

Only Zhang Yilong couldn't be happy, standing in the crowd, calmer than anyone else.

"Xiaolong, the pigment is the pigment, Boss Xiao's stone is very good, right?!" The old turtle who was standing next to Zhang Yilong suddenly greeted with a smile.

"You know, I'm a complete layman, and I don't see anything." Zhang Yilong turned around and smiled bitterly.

The old turtle said earnestly: "So, if you want to bet, bet on that kind of color, which is green on the surface, but the price of that kind of stone is often very high, and ordinary people can't afford to play, which is called 'you get what you pay for'!" ”

Zhang Yilong said disapprerovingly: "I don't think so, didn't you say that gambling on stones is difficult, no one can see through its essence, maybe the first knife is good, and the second knife is not good." ”

"That's just as well." The old turtle nodded in agreement, "But the chance of producing good jade with better materials is much greater, otherwise there would be no difference between pigments and 'brick materials'!" A real pigment and a brick material that no one cares about, the price is a world of difference! ”

"Oh, really?" Zhang Yilong smiled meaningfully, and after a while he turned his head and continued to watch the situation on the field with full attention.

Boss Xiao obviously chose to continue cutting the stone, Zhang Yilong felt anxious for him, but he couldn't do anything but watch the stone continue to cut down.

In fact, when the second knife was cut, the atmosphere on the field was not right, and the previous excitement of the group turned into gloom, because the cut surface exposed under the stone was not only very light in color, but also very rough in texture, and the degree of jade was not high.

The result of the second knife cut was very unsatisfactory, and Boss Xiao seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell all at once, and he could no longer see the happy smile on his face just now, but instead of a sad color.

But he was very unwilling, urging Wang Cripple to continue cutting, Wang Cripple was obviously not very peaceful, his hand holding the handle of the cutting machine trembled a little, and under the expectant and uneasy gaze of everyone, the third knife cut open.

However, this result completely defeated everyone, and what appeared below was what kind of beautiful jade, full of gray and black impurities, and there was no beauty at all.

Seeing this, everyone talked about it, and the owner of the jade, that Boss Xiao's face was extremely ugly.

Zhang Yilong thought to himself, no wonder the old turtle said that gambling on the stone is a heartbeat, and it was only a few minutes before and after, but the result was so huge that the player's small heart could stand it.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" I only heard the old turtle sigh.

Zhang Yilong said: "Old turtle, you are right, the gambling stone is unpredictable, and you will never know the final result until the last moment!" ”

The old turtle replied: "Yes, it's so suspenseful! I just heard about that stone, it was bought by Boss Xiao from Boss Wang for more than 100,000 yuan, I had high hopes, who knew that everything would be like that! Heavy losses! ”

Between the two of them sighing, the roar of the cutting machine sounded again, and Wang Cripple and Boss Xiao continued to cut the stone, they were quite a bit of "stubborn resistance".

The result was very realistic, the last stone completely lost, everyone pointed to the pile of worthless stone fragments and started to talk about it, while Boss Xiao stood there in a daze with a pale face.

"Xiaolong, after reading it, let's go." When the lame man was packing up his things, the old turtle said hello to Zhang Yilong stupidly.

Zhang Yilong shook his head without hesitation and said, "Old turtle, why are you in a hurry?" Didn't we just arrive? It's not to see other people's gambling stones, we have to ask Boss Wang to see if he still has jade wool on his hands. ”

"What? Do you really want to bet? The old turtle frowned and said in surprise.

Zhang Yilong smiled casually and said, "I want to take a look." ”

Then he couldn't help but line up a few people standing in front of him, and walked in front of Wang Cripple, he was about to open his mouth to inquire about the situation, but at this moment, only to hear an extremely harsh voice from the right rear: "Lao Wang, I heard that you just entered a batch of wool, where is it, show me!" ”
