The young man surnamed Yin naturally understood this, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Uncle Gong." As he spoke, he took out a card to pay the bill, and the shopkeeper took out a beautiful box from the counter with a very eye-catching eye, carefully put the bowl in, and filled the gap with foam, and the packaging was tightly and beautiful, and then handed the thing to the other party.

For ordinary people, spending 2o yuan to buy a bowl, even if they know that it is an antique, they still feel expensive. Of course, Li Han is not an ordinary person, he spends this money, but he is still the child who grew up in the countryside in his bones, seeing that this surnamed Yin spent 2o million to buy a bowl as if it was spending hundreds of yuan, it was not serious, and I don't know if he was in business, if he didn't take 2o yuan so easily, his skin was white, looking at his temperament, he thought he was a soldier. Li Han thought about it, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

The young man took the box, and after saying goodbye to the two professors, he glanced at Li Han vigilantly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and then he calmed down again, nodded politely to him, and left with the old man.

Jin Ge then approached Professor Li and asked curiously, "Professor, what did that person do?" ”

"The old Gong family is a child of a world friend, it seems that he is a soldier in the south, probably a major, right?" Professor Li asked Professor Gong inquiringly.

Professor Gong nodded: "I heard that he was promoted to major two years ago, this kid is very capable, and he didn't rely on his family's relationship, he graduated from graduate school a few years ago and was directly promoted to the rank of captain, if he was willing to let his family help, he was afraid that he would be promoted to lieutenant colonel early." He paused, "But if you can take 2o yuan out to buy an antique so easily, I'm afraid it's not just that little allowance is enough, maybe you can also do a little business or something." ”

It seems that Professor Gong's family is not an ordinary person, and the young man surnamed Yin is also a second-generation official. Li Han thought about it, and there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and he didn't know what was going on. Professor Gong and the shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the door to see what was going on, not that they liked to join in the fun, in case someone was fighting, there were still goods at the door, although it would not be an antique outside, if it was damaged, it would be a loss.

"It seems that someone next door gambled on a good jadeite." The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "It looks like the water is not bad, otherwise it wouldn't be so sensational." ”

"Emerald is gambling?" Li Han didn't understand very well, there were many shops selling jade in this Pan Jiayuan, but he hadn't entered it, he didn't understand it at all, that thing was expensive, and he couldn't tell whether it was jade or plastic or glass, it was better to worry about gold and silver.

"He's talking about gambling stones," Professor Gong explained, "In the final analysis, jadeite is a kind of ore, and when it is dug out of the mountain, it is no different from ordinary stones. Some people don't untie the ore after it is shipped out, only sell the stone, the buyer buys the stone, and if there is a good jadeite in it after unraveling, then make a lot of money, if it is a stone or the jadeite is very poor, it is not worth the price of the stone he buys, then it is a big loss, this is gambling stone. The jade shop next door can also gamble on stones, just now someone should have gambled up, and the jade cut out should be good. ”

It sounded quite interesting, and several people looked at each other and hugged to the store next door to see the excitement. The front half of the store is divided into two parts, the front half of which has a glass counter, which is full of various jadeite products, bracelets, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, earrings, etc. In the second half, there were several wide and long tables, large and small, with a group of people gathered in a corner, and the sound of cutting was drowned out by their whispers.

Li Han was tall, and standing behind the crowd, he could see a man working on a cutting machine with something like a stone. When the cutting machine stopped and the man straightened up, Li Han, a layman, could also see that the stone in his hand was already a piece of jade. At this time, there was no voice of the machine, and the discussion on the side was also heard clearly.

"It's a golden silk species, and it's not bad."

An old man shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not enough for gold wire, and it can only be regarded as a flower species, but his material is big enough, and it can still be used as a sub-bracelet." ”

Li Han listened in a fog, completely unaware of why, and was about to ask, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy on the side opened his mouth first: "What is a golden wire?" What does cyanine mean? Is this really jadeite? Why isn't it as beautiful as the jadeite you usually see? ”

"This is the grade of jadeite, my mother and aunt are wearing jadeite are all carved, the quality is better than this, whether it is color or water, and it has been carved and polished, of course, it is more beautiful." The girl who explained probably knew a little about jadeite, but what she said was a little too straightforward, it can be said that she was not welcome, and the owner of the stone was very happy to solve the jadeite, and her face became difficult to look at at this time.

The shopkeeper was afraid that the quarrel would not look good, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Sir, if you are willing to sell this piece of jadeite, our store is willing to bid 25,000 yuan, what do you think?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment and asked, "If it's processing, how do you count it?" ”

"It depends on what you're going to process, and the processing fee ranges from 4oo to a few thousand. You can dig out a pair of bracelets and a pendant for this piece of jadeite, and the processing fee is about more than 3,000, but you are calcifying the stone in our store, you can get a discount and charge you 3,000 yuan. ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "Processing, the stone cost eight hundred, plus the processing fee is only three thousand eight, just take it back and give it away, I have to go to the store to buy a pair of bracelets and buy a pendant, this price can't be obtained." ”

"That's, how can I get 30,000 or 40,000." The shopkeeper chimed in and took him aside to discuss the processing.

"Looks like it's fun, Prince, let's buy a piece and try it out, shall we?" Liu Chengcheng exclaimed, "If you really cut out the jadeite, how meaningful it is to make decorations." ”

Anyway, the stone will not be too expensive, and of course Shang Wang Zi will not stop her, so the two began to choose. Jin Ge and Zhu Wei also picked stones, Li Han was not interested in this, but it was boring anyway, so he would play one or two pieces with the crowd.

The shelves were full of large and small stones, and Li Han couldn't see any difference between them and ordinary stones. The stones on the shelves were only half the size of a melon, some of them were four hundred, and some were six hundred. The larger the land, the price is not necessarily, one or two thousand or three or four thousand or even more expensive.

Li Han casually flipped through the shelves a few times with his hand, and these small ones were only a few dollars a piece, and he didn't care about it, so he casually took a dozen or so yuan to ask the boss to settle the account. The boss looked at this although he was a novice, but obviously he didn't care about money, and he didn't think that these stones alone would add up to 10,000 yuan. Hurriedly came over and counted it, and said, "It's a total of eight thousand six hundred yuan, does the boss want to cut it yourself or let me cut it for you?" ”

"I won't either, so I'd better trouble the boss for a favor." Li Han had also seen how to cut stones just now, but he didn't understand, the noise was loud and dusty, anyway, the store could provide services, so he didn't bother to do it himself.

Shang Wang Zi and Zhu Wei were still picking, and when they saw that Li Han had already cut it, they hurriedly threw down the stone in their hands and came over to see the excitement. It's all small stones, and the boss doesn't ask, just pick up a piece and put it under the cutter.

The cutting sound of "swish" rang out again and again, and the others were okay, Zhu Wei and Jin Ge, a salaryman who was still a student, looked at the stone thrown aside and felt more distressed than Li Han, the person who paid for it. It's all money, and in these ten minutes of work, the money thrown away is more than Zhu Wei's monthly salary.

During this period, it is not that nothing has been cut, but the most inferior jadeite is no different from stone, and it is only the size of a palm, and it is not cost-effective to take it for processing. Li Han put it aside, planning to bring this piece back as a souvenir if there was nothing better in the remaining stones.

When the last two stones were left, Li Han had already piled up three worthless jadeites in his hand, no one would take them seriously, they were staring at the two pieces that had not been cut yet, hoping to cut out a real jadeite.

The boss took a piece casually, this one was bigger than the rest, the size of a melon, and it was also the most expensive piece among the dozen or so pieces that Li Han bought, and he received eight hundred yuan. The boss didn't just take it in half like the others, took it in his hand and looked at it, pointed to a corner and asked, "I'll try to cut it from here?" ”

Li Han didn't understand it, so he nodded and said, "The boss just looks at it." ”

The boss is used to doing it, so he quickly cut a knife, washed it with water, and said in surprise: "It's Mo Cui, sir, are you selling this material?" I am willing to pay 30,000 yuan. "It was just a habitual action for him to flush the material with water, and he didn't have any hope for this piece of wool at all, but he didn't expect to cut out a piece of ink cui.

Li Han looked at the stone in surprise, what was revealed on the cut surface was black, if he had to see it himself, he would definitely think that it was an ordinary stone, who would have thought that this black stone was also jadeite? Everyone was numb, and they deserted early. As soon as I heard that the jade was cut, the boss still wanted to buy it, so he hurriedly looked at it, but he only saw a black patch, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Can I keep cutting?" Li Han asked. He didn't put the 30,000 yuan in his eyes, he saw someone cut out the jadeite completely, and he also thought that it was very meaningful to dig it all out, and he could take it back to play, or process it into ornaments or something to give away. "Let's cut it again, open it all out, this is the first time I bet on stones, I have to know what kind of stone I bought."

"Okay, then it's all on." The boss lowered his head and continued to work, this Mocui was also worth some money, he couldn't cut it casually anymore. It took a long time to slow down, and although the piece of material was not large, it took a lot of time to solve it. Except for a few of them staring nervously at the machine, everyone else began to walk around and talk again, and a few began to buy gambling stones, hoping that if they were lucky, they could also make a good material.

The wool was quickly unraveled, although the boss of the first knife was a little careless, but he was still very responsible, and he didn't waste much jadeite, and finally unraveled a piece of jadeite the size of two fists, which seemed to be able to suck people's souls into it after looking at it for a long time.
