Chapter 6: Seeing Blood
The dinner is actually very rich, fresh bamboo shoots and bacon, as well as pheasants and wild boar specially sent by the village cadres, and of course, the famous Changhua tofu, which can be described as an authentic farmhouse dish, with a strong mountain atmosphere.
It's just that Brother Badou's appetite is a little bad, and his whole mind is on bloodstone. Entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed, of course, I was a little depressed.
Even so, the two cameras together did not eat as much as he alone, but Qian Laohan was happy to see it: "Good amount of food, if it is in the countryside, it must be a good laborer!" ”
When they went to bed at night, the two cameramen didn't come home at night, needless to say, they must have tasted game. The fat man doesn't have this hobby, but he is also troubled lying in bed, so he simply gets up and walks outside.
The red dots of cigarette butts were bright and dark on the silent mountain village road, and as he walked, the fat man suddenly remembered what Qian Laohan had said during the day, and couldn't help but whisper softly: "A stone will always be a stone - will the poor always suffer from poverty?" ”
threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed his feet twice: "I still don't believe in this evil!" ”
I saw the noise of people in front of me from a distance, and remembered that it was an empty field during the day, and the fat man had nothing to do, so he walked over. It turned out to be a batch of rough stones of bloodstone that had just come down from the mountain, and many people were picking them. Maybe it was shipped back a long time ago, and it was a tradition to trade in the dark. The lights are dim, it's all a matter of sight and luck.
The fat man even heard Qian Laohan say during the day that in the 80s, he put stones into a sack, and the mouth of the bag was pierced. Some of them are full of blood, and some of them are all scraps, which will definitely make you lose all your money.
This is called "gambling".
However, driven by huge profits, people still go forward. Counting it up, Brother Badou is also one of them, but he only has more than 200 yuan in his pocket, which is the worst one.
Unexpectedly, the transaction was carried out in the form of an auction. As soon as the fat man heard the reserve price, he knew that there was nothing to do with him - the lowest ones were thousands of dollars.
What was being asked on the field was a big stone of forty or fifty catties, which looked very good, with a piece of red the size of a palm, and that touch of red, in the eyes of those buyers, was more fascinated than the shy cheeks of the girl. Moreover, the stone is very delicate, and it is estimated that it is more likely to be frozen ground.
The fat man has been pouring cultural relics for a few years, and he still understands common sense things. Bloodstone is generally divided into four categories: frozen ground, soft ground, rigid ground, and hard ground, of which the first two have the best texture and high price; In addition, what determines the quality of bloodstone is the amount of "sand ding" in it.
The mineral composition of Changhua bloodstone is mainly clay mineral dikaishi, and often contains hard quartz porphyry crystals that are not completely etched into dikaishi, and the hardness is much greater than that of dikaishi, which is called "sand ding", which will directly affect the carving in the later period.
The stone sold well, so the price also climbed all the way, and soon it reached 200,000, and the number of people participating in the bidding was gradually rare, but there were still three or four, not in a hurry, 510,000 yuan to add up.
"There are so many rich people—" The fat man was speechless, and finally couldn't help but lean forward, he wanted to see if the hundreds of thousands of stones were worth the money.
With the experience of the day, this time the fat man was calm and slowly infiltrated the stone. Of course, there is another reason that this stone has nothing to do with him at all.
Looking in from where the red was seen, the fat man quickly frowned: the red only penetrated a few millimeters, and then disappeared. He didn't dare to look deeply, and raised his head reluctantly.
"Rely on-" The fat man swallowed back the word "skin" at the back, and originally wanted to say "rely on skin", but according to the rules of this industry, no matter how bad the things people bring, they can't pick on them openly.
But in this way, his voice is almost like scolding, and the fat man's voice has always been relatively high, so it is even more abrupt. Seeing that many people in front of him turned their heads, the fat man had to scratch the back of his head: "Damn, a stone is so valuable!" ”
Everyone showed disdain, especially a young man with oily hair and a powdery face, and spit out a foreign word "**" in his mouth.
Although the fat man has been struggling at the bottom of society, he does not steal, rob, abduct or cheat, lives a down-to-earth life, lives a peaceful life, and his dignity certainly cannot be trampled on.
"I'll make you look good." The guy glared at the fat man fiercely, and then shouted to the front: "250,000-"
"He Gongzi bid 250,000, is there anything higher!" The person in charge of the auction is obviously also an old oilman, who knows all the guests who have heads and faces.
The fat man hehehe: "Lose you-"
"My brother is rich, so he likes to play like this, can you play?" Brother Gongzi raised his head, full of energy.
This poked the fat man's sore spot, and someone else came out to 260,000, and He Gongzi's attention was temporarily shifted to the stone.
After another competition, the price has risen to 310,000, He Gongzi's bid is the highest, and everyone else has withdrawn from the competition. He turned his head and glanced at the fat man triumphantly, and that gaze was like a needle, piercing the fat man's heart.
"I'll give out 350,000-" Brother Badou's rough voice sounded suddenly.
Although the condition of this stone is good, but 300,000 will come to an end, this has to bet on the dense distribution of chicken blood, if the chicken blood coverage rate is less than 30, then it will definitely be lost, so the risk is still very large. As soon as I heard someone call 350,000, most of the people in the audience were experts, and they immediately exclaimed.
"I'll throw money at you today to see who has more money!" The fat man rolled up his arms and sleeves, and his two little eyes were red, like an angry bull.
"400,000!" He Gongzi really had never encountered such a rough person, although he was angry in his heart, he still had the same demeanor, and added another 50,000 to put it mildly.
"You—you wait, I'll go back and get the money now—" the fat man cried out inwardly, and the wolf bounced away amid laughter.
In fact, he has long been happy in his heart: Fight with me, you kid is still tender, hehe, you look down on Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will tell you to spend 90,000 yuan more!
It is said that Brother Badou also has a side that is not particular, and he sees that He Gongzi will fight with him. But this matter is also quite risky, in case the surname He removes the ladder, the fat man will have 200 yuan in his pocket, and even if he sells meat by the pound, he will not be able to sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan. So after shouting, I will accept it when I see it.
When the stone arrived, He Gongzi finally felt a little taste: This fat man is a poor bastard at a glance, maybe he is pulling a bar with me, where did the miscellaneous come from, if I don't teach you a lesson, I don't know how thick the sky is.
Raising his finger, a sturdy man immediately crept out of the crowd behind him, taking advantage of the dark night. Follow the fat man. But I saw that the fat man went around in a circle, soaked in urine, and then walked around again. That man is not easy to do, so he can only continue to take the side and wait for the opportunity.
After the auction of the stones on the field was completed, the man in charge of the auction clapped his hands: "Do you want to solve the stones, we have this organic qì, this batch of goods looks good, and they will be cut for everyone for free." ”
"I'm going to cut." The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, thin and withered, and at his feet, there was a big stone of seventy or eighty pounds, which was photographed for 180,000 yuan.
"Brother Wang, why don't you cut this piece tomorrow?" The man in charge of the auction twisted his two eyebrows.
The guests below also began to whisper: "Wang Yidao, he is going to solve the stone again?" ”
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I think that Wang Yidao was a famous knife rise, but in recent years, the knife has been unlucky, the knife has collapsed, it is said that twenty-one pieces have been cut in a row, and those in front are worth millions of jade wool!"
The thin middle-aged man looked calm and unmoved, just opened his mouth and spit out one word: "Cut-"
The stone was carried to the stone cutter by two men, and Wang Yi made a gesture with a knife, and then handled the knife himself. After a shrill roar, the stone was cut off an inch thick.
"I didn't see red—"
"It's collapsed again, it's the twenty-second piece—"
Wang Yidao was also stunned for a moment, but soon re-fixed the stone and slashed again, only this time his hand trembled slightly.
"Hey—still not red—" sighed.
"Who said I didn't see red!" Wang Yidao's chest rose and fell violently, and the gaze that swept towards everyone was so cold that he didn't have any emotion. Then, I saw him bow his head and slam into the stone on the machine.
There was a thud, and blood splashed, and immediately the stone was red, so red, so dazzling.
