564 Cut out the jadeite
As soon as I walked into the gambling stone field, I inexplicably felt a sense of tension, which was of course related to the expressions shown by some of the surrounding customers, but most of the reason was that Yang Yi and the three of them were exposed to such a new thing for the first time, and it was inevitable that they would be a little nervous.
At this time, Xiao Shiyun stopped in front of a small stall, and the stall even bought a stone for the customer and prepared to cut it on the spot.
Yang Yi and the three of them stood at the front, and couldn't help but worry about it, Xiao Shiyun bit his fingers even more, and his eyes stared at the stone for a moment.
It's time to cut!
There is an unwritten ritual in the gambling stone industry, the original stone is to stay at the bottom all the year round, in the eyes of the gambling stone people, it is a bit spiritual, and cutting it is tantamount to taking its life, so it must be confessed in advance, only in this way, the resentment of the original stone being cut can be resolved.
The cycle of cause and effect does not befall the stone buyer.
At the same time, this ritual also has a little other meaning, that is, it is begging the heavens to favor good luck on one's head.
It is said that those who gamble on stones are not usually present when they cut stones, but will run to the temple to pray for blessings, praying that they can cut a good stone!
The man who bought the wool was a middle-aged man in his early forties, a little rich, he put a pillar of incense on the rough stone in a serious way, and he had words in his mouth for a long time, and when the pillar of incense was half-lit, he stood up straight, waved to the two stall workers who had already been prepared, and said, "Ready to cut!" ”
These two workers are obviously experts in cutting stones, two cutting knives in their hands, dancing up and down, all kinds of tricks, in an instant, stone chips flying in front of the stall!
Of course, the two workers did not want to show the meaning of the knife skill, in fact, cutting the stone is a kind of mental and physical work, the knife is not only fast, accurate, stable, the brain's reaction ability is also extremely sensitive, look at the original stone, it is necessary to have an accurate cutting route, only in this way, in order to move the knife in the process without damaging the jadeite inside!
The stone was not small, about the size of a bucket, weighing hundreds of pounds, although it was a new pit stone, it really cost the middle-aged man a lot of money.
He was more nervous than anyone else, and the sweat began to flow unstoppably as soon as he moved the knife, and two minutes later, the rough stone was cut by a third, and the middle-aged man's legs were trembling slightly.
It's over, there's nothing in this stone, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars are completely lost!
Of course, it was still a little premature to say this, but the two cutters were very calm, not affected by the onlookers around them, and the electric cutters in their hands helped the rough stone to undress layer by layer.
The stone is a third smaller!
The middle-aged man couldn't bear it, and saw that the stone was only the size of a football left, but he was stunned that the hair was not cut out, and he was somewhat discouraged.
The surrounding spectators couldn't help but breathe a little heavier, and the critical moment was coming, and they didn't know what this stone could cut!
As soon as this thought arose, the stone suddenly revealed a hint of yellow-orange-orange light, and the quick-thinking person couldn't help but exclaim: "The stone is out of the stone!" ”
Almost everyone present saw the light of that moment, the light was a little dazzling, and the two cutters couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and when everyone looked closely, they saw that a small hole about the size of a finger was exposed in the stone, from which the previous light should have been projected.
"Cut, cut!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but shout, his face was extremely excited, and he wanted to see what was hidden in the stone.
But there were a few elderly people in the crowd who shook their heads slightly, judging from the current situation, the stone was transparent but there was no jadeite, and most of them were gone, and the stone spirit had already fled!
Sure enough, a stone was cut to the end, and a thick layer of stone chips fell on the ground, and nothing was cut out of the stone, and everyone realized that there was a fist-sized gap in the middle of the stone, and the previous light should be hidden here!
The middle-aged man sat down on the ground and muttered to himself, "How is it possible? It's impossible, it was obviously shining before, how could there be nothing?! ”
This middle-aged man should have just played gambling stones not long ago, many people know that the stone shines not necessarily hidden jadeite, some people say that those jadeite originally existed, but it was stolen and eaten by some psychic things in order to increase Taoism.
Some people say that the light may be the same as a mirage, but it is wrapped in stone, and once the stone is cut, the light will naturally burst out.
It is not uncommon to see such a situation, there have been people who have seen the light reflected in the light of the old monk and the Bodhi tree under the meditation, and some people have seen the Taoist people lift the glow and soar, and even see the flying immortals outside the sky, in short, the light is not limited to a touch of light!
After seeing such a cruel touch, Xiao Shiyun didn't speak for a long time, biting his lip and muttering, "How can there be no jade?" This shouldn't be, it must be soaked and not cut well, and the jadeite is cut off! ”
There is no need to doubt the craftsmanship of the cutting workers, people eat this bowl of rice, naturally they are careful and careful, and the instrument is so accurate, it is rare to cut bad stones!
Yang Yi patted Xiao Shiyun on the shoulder and said: "The fun of gambling on stones lies in unpredictability, no one knows what is in the stones, how can the magic of nature be guessed by man?" Even those masters who have gambled all their lives are not sure that they can know what is in each stone, but they have seen more and more stones, and they can analyze one or two......"
"Brother Yang Yi, what do you want to express?!" Xiao Shiyun felt that his head with more than 200 IQs was a little insufficient, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Brother Yang Yi's words.
Yang Yi smiled awkwardly: "What I mean is that you can't stop taking risks just because you see other people's failures, let's play ours, don't be discouraged, maybe we're lucky enough to cut out a bunch of ice and glass jadeites at once, don't you say?!" ”
"Hey, that makes sense!" Xiao Shiyun is happy again.
Qin Ying next to her couldn't help but roll her eyes, these two self-deceiving guys, do you really think that jadeite is so easy to cut out?
After wandering around for a long time, Xiao Shiyun finally decided to buy two stones to cut and see, she also knew that the water in this industry was relatively deep, and decided to start from the basics, and she couldn't eat a fat man in one bite, so she bought a few local stones to practice her hands.
The local stone is naturally much cheaper than those Burmese stones, Xiao Shiyun doesn't know if it's a little obsessive-compulsive, and actually chooses three round grunt stones, like three big watermelons!
"Girl, are you sure you want to buy these three stones?!" The owner of the stall felt embarrassed, watermelon stone, this is a stone that must not be bought in the eyes of connoisseurs, because almost 99% of such stones cannot cut good things.
The boss thinks that a little girl who is so pitiful can't wipe off her face.
Xiao Shiyun nodded again and again: "Yes, just buy these three pieces, they look so good, there must be good things hidden in them!" ”
It's strange to hide good things, if there were really good things, others would have bought them a long time ago, and it's your turn?! The stall owner couldn't help but think in his heart, several masters in our store didn't even look at the three stones when they first chose the stones, this is completely indiscriminate!
The transaction was finally completed smoothly, and the three stones together were more than 100 catties, and the stall owner also gave a discount and only bought 10,000 yuan, which made Xiao Shiyun happy and said that the boss was a good person!
Although he was sure that there was nothing good in the three stones, the boss still called a cutter to help cut it.
That worker has also been in the industry for a long time, even if he is a fool, he can practice a sharp eye, he is not optimistic about Yang Yi and the three of them at all, and as soon as he cuts it, he directly cuts off a stone with a knife, which makes Xiao Shi Yun scream.
"Hey, what the hell are you good at, do you cut stones like that? Everyone is peeling layer by layer, why are you cutting it so much, if everything is broken, the jade inside, you will pay me?! Xiao Shiyun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he wanted to strangle this cutter!
The worker couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I'll tell you the truth, little girl, if something good can be cut out of such a stone, I will eat the stone......"
After speaking, he cut it down with a knife again, and the cutting knife cut through a layer of stone skin, and Yang Yi suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”
The cutter was startled, hurriedly turned off the switch of the cutter, and said angrily: "What are you shouting?!" ”
"If I don't shout at you, you'll destroy the good things, take the knife away!"
The cutter had no choice but to take the cutting knife, and he looked down to see that there was really a milky white jade about the size of a finger belly hidden in the half of the watermelon stone.
"Hahaha, I really cut out the jadeite, hahaha......" Xiao Shiyun cheered, ran to the table and pushed the stone cutter away, picked up the half of the watermelon stone, looked up and down, and said leisurely for a while, "Brother Yang Yi, this jade is too small, right?!" ”
It was a horsetooth jadeite, the texture was like a horse's teeth, the particles were fine, but the transparency was very poor, and the luster was a little dull, like matte porcelain.
Horse tooth jadeite is relatively at the bottom of the jadeite, and the jade pieces made in the market are mostly plate fingers, cigarette holders and cigarette bottles, etc., which are not too high in value, and at most they are a plaything.
And the horsetooth jadeite cut out of this watermelon stone is even smaller and pitiful, and there is no need to process it at all, at most it can only be made into a jade pendant.
Although it belongs to the color of the rotten street, this is also a stone that Xiao Shiyun cut for the first time, which is very meaningful, she can't put it down in her hand and rub it around, and the smile on the corner of her mouth has not stopped.
As soon as he heard that the jadeite was cut, the owner of the stall also came over to congratulate him for a long time, although he didn't look down on that kind of jadeite, but he had to applaud Xiao Shiyun's luck.
A little girl, the first time she bets on the stone, she can bet on the jade, which is a good sign, proving that people are lucky!
The cutter was much more careful about the next two stones, but unfortunately, the two stones were cut into powder, and nothing was cut out, but Yang Yi was sharp-eyed and found a fly fossil, but it made him depressed for a long time!
10,000 yuan for a tooth-sized horse tooth jadeite, this is naturally a loss, but Yang Yi and the three of them did not have any loss, they came here to have fun, cut out the jade is like winning the lottery, it's too late to be happy, so they won't care about the 10,000 yuan!
