Chapter Seventy-Seven: Gambling Stones
Gambling stones are a heritage with a long history, and this thing can make people rich overnight or bankrupt.
Although Mao 18 has never gambled, he has heard people say it, so he is very curious about this matter.
The jade boss sat at the scene and asked Mao 18 when it would start.
Mao 18 said, wait a minute, I have a few friends who haven't come over yet.
As he was talking, Huzi, Chang Wanlin, Ai Jiang, Ye Hongfei, and Bai Yue all came over one after another.
Mao Shibai looked at the big guy with a smile and said, I've heard of gambling stones, but it is estimated that none of you have seen it, and calling you here today is to completely open everyone's eyes.
Mao 18 nodded at the jade boss and said, let's start.
After the jade boss washed his hands, he asked the apprentice to bring the tools up.
The rough jade stone is nothing more than a rotten stone in the eyes of ordinary people, and no one will pick it up even if it is thrown on the ground.
Huzi looked at the stone placed on the machine and said, Xiaoqing, you still brought this broken thing back from such a long distance, I don't think anyone wants to throw it on the ground.
Xiaoqing said, Brother Huzi, don't you know, I bought it for more than 10,000 yuan, and if I am lucky, I can increase the price more than ten times, even if it is a wedding gift for my eldest brother.
Mao 18 motioned to everyone not to speak, and quietly watched the master break the skin.
The rough stone was fixed to the machine, and there was a buzzing sound, and the basin-sized rough stone was cut off the skin, revealing what it looked like inside.
Mao Eighteen and these people are all laymen, so they just watched quietly, not knowing if it was good or not.
The master stopped, picked it up and looked at it. The brow is furrowed.
Mao 18 asked, how is it, is it okay.
The master shook his head and said, not very good, very half, the outer wrapping layer is too thick, and it is possible that the contents inside will be good.
Although Mao Shibai didn't care too much, he just wanted everyone to open their eyes and know what a gambling stone was, but they had reached this point, and they were also looking forward to being able to open good things.
The master said, let's do it, cut it directly from the middle, although it is a bit reckless, but this is the most intuitive, and I know it all at once.
In fact, Mao 18 didn't understand that the gambling stone was not cut like this. If it's a good thing, it's worth half of it.
Mao 18 nodded and said. You can do it.
The reason why the master did this was because he already knew that it should be a good thing, and he cut it in the middle just to bargain for a while, and he believed that after his own carving, even if the jade was a little smaller, it would be fine.
In the rumbling sound of the machine, the rough stone was split in two from the middle, and the master was stunned. The saliva flowed for a long time.
Burmese jade is also known as jadeite jade. It was popular in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in China: for example, a jade feather pipe of Rong Lu, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty, was worth 13,000 taels of gold. In the mid-30s, Tieting, the jade king in Beijing, had a pair of bracelets that were sold to Du Yuesheng in Shanghai for 40,000 silver dollars. Due to the high hardness of Burmese jadeite jade (also known as water species), it is smooth and bright. And the good jadeite color is bright and peaceful, and has a high value preservation and collection value, so it is called "the king of jade".
The jade that came out today is the best in jadeite, which is what ordinary people call A goods, no wonder the master is drooling.
Although Mao Eighteen didn't understand, the things he saw were crystal clear and full of water, and he understood the old master's expression.
Mao 18 said, master, give me a word.
The jade boss touched his saliva and said, buy it for me, you make a price.
Mao 18 shook his head and said, This is a wedding gift from my brother, and it can't be sold.
The jade boss shook his head and sighed, and said, I will give five million.
Mao 18 shook his head and said, it's not about money.
The boss said, in this way, you can keep the things, if you want to make a move in the future, you must find me first.
Mao 18 nodded, said okay, gave the boss 10,000 yuan for hard work, and let the boss go.
Xiaoqing jumped up happily and said, big brother, how is it, how is my luck. Five million, maybe more.
Mao 18 said, the real thing is the blessing of you and Zhai Chunguang, you take the thing, and the eldest brother knows it.
Everyone was stunned, because this was not a matter of tens of thousands of yuan, it was five million, and everyone had to be impressed by Mao Eighteen.
Xiaoqing said, that's not good, I said that it was given to you, how can I still want to come back.
Mao 18 insisted on not taking it, and Xiaoqing also insisted on not taking it.
Huzi said, if you don't count it like this, give me something, I will give Xiaoqing 20,000 yuan, and I will buy the original stone.
Xiaoqing glared at Huzi and said, "The beauty you think, maybe if I tell you, this stone won't be able to open anything."
Huzi smirked, Mao 18 said, then so be it, put it up first, and talk about it later.
Shilan glanced at the time at this time and said, big brother, don't talk about it, today is a good day for you to get married, hurry up and send the bride back first, that sister-in-law's family is not here, just treat Xiaocao's family as her mother's home.
After being reminded by Shilan, everyone came out of the priceless jadeite and said that they almost missed a big event.
So according to the arrangement of Shilan yesterday, everyone is in place. Wangxiangyuan fell silent in an instant.
Before Mao 18 walked out, he found Ye Hongfei and said, sister-in-law, there may have been some accident last night, you can pay attention to this person for me.
When Mao 18 was talking, he took out his mobile phone and showed her a photo of a good-looking boy.
Ye Hongfei said, isn't this the one who stirred up trouble last night.
Mao 18 nodded and said, yes, there is no time to check his whereabouts now, today is a big day, I don't want anything to happen, you pay more attention. Or arrange for a few people.
Ye Hongfei nodded and said Okay, I know.
Only Shilan was left in Wangxiang Garden, and there were some waiters.
After a busy night, Shilan was a little tired, sitting in the dressing room and leaning on the sofa thinking about her thoughts.
At this time, a very handsome girl walked in, with a drink on her mobile phone, and put it next to Shilan, saying Sister, look at your hard work, drink some drinks.
Shilan was full of gratitude to the people who cared about her, and said, thank you.
The girl nodded and went out.
The door did not close, but left a slit, and a pair of beautiful big eyes were staring at Shilan.
Shilan was also really thirsty, picked up the cup, and drank all the drinks with a clatter.
The girl outside the door saw Shilan drink the drink in the cup, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, she didn't know whether she wanted to laugh or what she wanted to say, and then walked away lightly.
