Chapter 110: Cutting Stones
What is this?
Zhang Qi was a little inexplicable, only feeling that the warm breath passed through his palm, moisturizing the meridians, and finally gathered into the dantian, which was warm and comfortable.
Is this jade?
Because he never wore jewelry and jade, he had never had the opportunity to touch jade since he cultivated this new internal qi, even if he was in the jewelry store just now, he didn't even look at those jades, and he didn't know that jade would produce this phenomenon.
He tried to speed up the flow of the breath in his body, and the speed at which he absorbed the warm breath suddenly increased.
It's so cool!
He felt as if all his limbs were soaked in honey, and he was uncomfortable, but his face showed no expression, still pretending to touch the stone.
But unfortunately, after he accelerated the absorption of that breath, he soon couldn't absorb it. The stone seemed to cool down, and there was no movement.
Is that all? Not enough.
Zhang Qi felt his hand to the next stone, which was larger.
To his surprise, this stone actually had that kind of breath, but it was more meager, and it was absorbed all at once, and it was not as resistant to absorption as the smaller one before.
Does the amount of this strange aura represent the size of the jade inside?
Zhang Qi guessed, he noticed that the fat man's eyes were staring at him, and in order to prevent the fat man from discovering the clues, he specially kept touching each stone for the same amount of time.
"Hey, why don't you think this rough stone is a watermelon? Touch it a few times to see if it's ripe? The person who was also watching the stone quipped to Zhang Qi.
"Hehe, just let him touch it, anyway, he won't get pregnant." A person next to him laughed.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Xuewan saw Zhang Qi touching every stone so seriously, thinking that he was tempted to buy it, frowned, leaned into his ear, and said with a sigh: "You don't really want to gamble on stones, do you?" It's too risky. ”
"I'm just looking." Zhang Qi said with a smile, he was touching a stone about the size of a basketball at this time, and the content of the breath in this stone was even higher than all the previous stones, which made him very happy.
After absorbing those breaths, he found that his body seemed to be a little lighter. He hurriedly entered the state of emptiness and saw that the true qi reserves in the dantian had increased a lot.
It turns out that jade is a good thing!
He sucked up all the breath in the basketball-sized stone, and still touched the next piece quietly, but this piece was too cold, although it was very large, but there was no breath at all. Despite this, Zhang Qi still acted in a full set, and put his hand on it for enough time before pulling out to the next stone.
After touching it in such a circle, he touched more than 20 stones. More than a dozen of them are either extremely cold, or they only have a trace of breath, and they are the kind that is gone when they first get started. Among the remaining pieces, except for the basketball-sized stone, which has the most breath, the other pieces are relatively few, and it is estimated that the jade inside is not very big.
After absorbing all his breath, Zhang Qi wanted to test his judgment, so he beckoned and called the fat man over.
"How much does that stone cost?" He pointed to one of the stones, which didn't have a lot of breath.
"You're a good eye, I'll guess you're an expert, and that's right." The fat man said admiringly.
Zhang Qi waved his hand and interrupted his compliment: "Just say how much." ”
"Two million." The fat man opened his mouth and said a sky-high price.
"What kind of international joke, it's only so big and so expensive? You're the wrong guy for me? Zhang Qi said very unhappily.
"If you've seen it, you must know that there must be jade in that rough stone, and it must be a big green. Just look at the skin, sell for two million, it's really not inflated, this is the price of conscience. The fat man said.
Zhang Qi shook his head and pointed to another piece: "What about that piece?" ”
"That's a million."
After asking the price of each stone, he said to the fat man, "The price is lower, I'll buy one and play with it." You are sure to make a profit in this business, you make less money from me, I'll buy one to try, if the cut goes up, I will buy a few more of you. ”
"I can't go any lower." The fat man said helplessly.
Zhang Qi turned around and left, and said, "Forget it, drive us back." ”
"Eh, don't, forget it, which one are you going to try? A little less is a little less. The fat man shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Qi stopped, turned around, pointed at a piece casually, and said, "Whatever, just this piece, you make a real price again, and if it is high, I will turn around and leave." ”
"800,000 or not?" The fat man used to open a million for that stone, but this time it is less than 200,000.
Zhang Qi understood, it turned out that the fat man was not optimistic about the stone, because the color of the skin from the stone was a little poor.
He quickly estimated it in his heart, anyway, he should spend money to see if he could touch it with his hands, even if the jade was worthless, it was not a loss. It's only 800,000.
Thinking so, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can help me open it." ”
"Open or point-to-point?" The fat man asked.
If it is fully opened, then in the end, how big the jade is is how valuable it is. If you only cut it once, and see the jade resold it, you can also transfer the risk. Some stones only have a little bit of jade on the surface, and if they are all opened, it is definitely better to sell them halfway to make money.
Zhang Qi waved his hand: "Open it all." ”
He didn't care about the loss, he mainly wanted to see how big the jade was.
After paying the bill, a group of people moved the stone away and began to cut it, and those who looked at the stone all gathered around to look at it, they were also idle and bored, and did not plan to buy it immediately, but wanted to wait and see. After all, there is no one in this batch of rough stones that looks particularly good.
Zhang Xuewan followed Zhang Qi to the side of the stone cutter with an excited face, and said in a low voice: "If there is nothing in it, 800,000 yuan will be thrown into the water." ”
Zhang Qi smiled, patted her hand, and said, "It's okay, it's just 800,000 yuan, it's fun to buy one." ”
In fact, he felt that he had already made a fortune, and the amount of True Qi he had absorbed from these stones had far exceeded the total amount of his original True Qi. And this is not measured by price.
Not to mention 800,000, even if he pays a few million, he is willing.
"Hey, it's up!" While they were chatting, the onlookers suddenly burst into an uproar and shouted.
Zhang Qi looked over and found that the master who cut the stone had a very good technique, and just along the edge of the jade, he cut out an edge of the jade inside.
The eyes were full of green, which made everyone excited.
"This first knife is out, and it definitely rises!"
"Brother, can't you get out of this rough stone? Give it to me now, and I'll give you a million. A man spoke.
"You are stupid to us, we spent 800,000 yuan to buy it!" Zhang Xuewan said disdainfully, and said happily to Zhang Qi, "Haha, we're so lucky!" ”
The master who cut the stone stopped and asked, "Do you want to cut it again?" ”
Zhang Qi said: "You go on, it's all open." ”
"Okay."
The person who made the offer just now hurriedly said: "That's it, I'll give you 1.5 million, you give it to me, how about it?" ”
The person next to him said with a smile: "Judging from the situation of this knife, at least 1.5 million is the base, you really have a good calculation." Although this brother looks at the eyes, you can't deceive you. Right, brother, do you think we will give you two million, can you accept it? ”
"Two million!" Zhang Xuewan's eyes suddenly widened, it seems that it is a little too easy to make money, 800,000 will soon become 2 million.
It's not that Zhang Qi doesn't plan to sell, but he really wants to confirm his judgment.
So he still shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry everyone, I have to watch him finish cutting, after all, all the wages have been paid." ”
"I'll make up for that little money." Those people see the benefits, and there is no one who does not blush.
But Zhang Qi did not accept it and insisted on letting the stone cutter finish cutting.
In the end, the jade was completely cut out, not big, but it was not surprising to everyone.
"I think it's almost that big, it's really lucky, 800,000 is doubled." A crowd of onlookers said.
"Do you use this piece of jade yourself? If not, how about selling it to me for 2.2 million? A jeweler opened his mouth and asked Zhang Qi that he had not come here to gamble on stones, but to buy raw materials. Gambling on stones is too risky, and if he does this business, he can only see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle.
