"That's not good." Zhou Wenping said with some hesitation.

And Lao Wu also rubbed his hands and said, "This is really embarrassing." ”

"Okay, that's it, you must come when the time comes, otherwise you won't give me face."

When the two of them saw that Chu Chen had said this, they had no choice but to nod and agree.

Then the three of them talked about some interesting anecdotes about the antique street, such as who paid the tuition fee, who missed it, who was buried with a mine, etc., all kinds of big and small things, the antique street is staged every day, and how many Hollywood blockbusters can be filmed.

After seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen said goodbye to the two, after all, he would go to Cuiyuanzhai to do business in a while.

After leaving the antique stall, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking that he was still living a hawker career like Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu before. In just a few days, but because of a Tang Sancai, earth-shaking changes have taken place, these days can be described as a mixture of joy and sorrow, really unpredictable, everything is unpredictable.

When Chu Chen came to Cuiyuanzhai, he saw that many people were surrounding a stall, choosing something there, he said in his heart, no need to guess, it must be Zhao Guosheng's new rough stone, everyone took advantage of this time to choose the wool that performed better.

When the jadeite is mined, there is a layer of weathered skin wrapped on the surface, there is no way to know the internal situation, only by cutting the stone can we know whether there is jadeite inside, and the quality of jadeite, at this time the jadeite is commonly known as jadeite wool.

In the past, the name of the gambling stone was not actually called the gambling stone, but the gambling line, the gambling stone master must have the great challenge ability, adventurous spirit, rich experience of the three conditions, from these three points can see the difficulty of the gambling stone.

As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade", even if technology is so developed now, there is no way to detect what is going on inside the wool. People mainly infer the quality of the internal jadeite based on the surface characteristics of the rough jadeite.

In this way, it is necessary for the gambling stone person to have a wealth of knowledge and experience in jadeite, such as analyzing sample wool and understanding the origin of jadeite. And because the profit of wool is very high, it is inevitable that some people will use their brains on it, and cheating methods such as "sticking fake skin" are endless, which also requires people to pay more attention.

However, since there is a word "bet" in the gambling stone, that is to say, no one is sure of winning, even if it is an experienced expert, it is inevitable that there will be a time to look away, and there is also a considerable element of luck.

It is precisely because of such uncertainty in gambling stones that it is not uncommon to get rich overnight or bankrupt overnight in the gambling stone market.

To sum up, "gambling stones" is actually an expert-level jadeite trading behavior, participating in "gambling stones" is not only a test of luck but also a test of eyesight, but also need to have professional knowledge reserves.

If he didn't have nearly four years of gambling stones, even if Shiyan had an ability, he would be able to sense jadeite, and Chu Chen would not dare to use it too often in gambling stones.

If a newcomer to gambling on stones can gamble on good jadeite several times, it may be luck, if it has always been like this, then it has to make people suspicious, maybe he was caught as a guinea pig, or he was simply caught to help him gamble on stones, thinking of that miserable situation, Chu Chen couldn't help but shudder.

"Yo, Xiaochen is here, how is it, what are you going to buy today?" Zhang Guosheng's eyes were sharp, he saw Chu Chen from afar, and said hello, and after Chu Chen walked to the door, he pointed to the small pile of wool on the side and said:

"Today's is a promotion, you can pick up four yuan for a hundred yuan over there, and there is no land in this village!"

"Hey, I said Brother Zhang, didn't Aunt Zhang say yesterday that you asked me to come to the door, why didn't I see you come up with a cup of tea." Chu Chen joked to Zhang Guosheng.

Zhang Guosheng completely inherited Aunt Zhang's cheekiness, and he was not embarrassed after hearing it, and said: "Hey, it's too busy today, you see that someone over there is calling me again, so you can see for yourself first, come to me if you need anything, we are also old acquaintances, and we will not let you suffer." ”

After saying goodbye to Chu Chen, he beckoned others to go.

Basically, every time at this time, Zhang Guosheng would always find such and such reasons to excuse himself, and Chu Chen was also used to it, so he shook his head and walked towards the pile of wool that Zhang Guosheng just pointed out.

The situation of the new wool here and the other side is very different, there is only one young man who picks and chooses there, and this person Chu Chen also knows, named Li Guodong.

Li Guodong is two years older than Chu Chen, and he is also very energetic, he is a senior student at a university in Beijing, he came into contact with the gambling stone industry a year later than Chu Chen, and like Chu Chen, he likes to buy some cheaper stones in the store, but his reason is different from Chu Chen, it is completely because of the shyness of his pocket.

The two are about the same age, they both have the same hobby of gambling stones, and they are both newcomers, so it is easier to communicate, and they have become friends in a short time.

Usually they have time to party and play together, and sometimes Li Guodong will call him at class reunions, which also allows Chu Chen to learn some about college life from them, which can be regarded as making up for some regrets that he did not go to college. After going back and forth, the two became friends.

Chu Chen and Li Guodong said hello and said, "Brother Li, did you receive any goods today?" ”

Li Guodong pointed to the wool on the ground and said, "You look at this quality, how can there be any receipt?" ”

Chu Chen lowered his head and took a cursory look at the wool on the ground, and was speechless for a while! How can this still be called wool? There are no basic jadeite characteristics on the wool, and they are completely bricks, and they are panicked when used to step up.

So Chu Chen said: "I said why is it so cheap today, I used to deal with the accumulation of goods for a hundred yuan and two yuan, but today it can be four yuan, just like this, I don't want to give it to me, in the future, let's call him Zhang Rooster." ”

Li Guodong nodded thoughtfully, and while continuing to pick and choose, he said: "It's okay, I have saved my expenses, anyway, at this time before, the quality of the wool is not much better than this time, maybe such a stone will bloom jadeite." ”

Chu Chen looked at him with disdain and said, "Do your big dream of spring and autumn, this kind of performance still wants to open jade, I don't see a chance of one in ten thousand." ”

"Hehe, don't care about him, you can't say it's impossible, maybe it's my turn to be lucky today." Li Guodong said triumphantly.

"Yes, I think you're stunned, why don't you buy a lottery ticket if you have this luck? I see if you kid is short of money for a girlfriend? ”

Chu Chen saw his squeaky appearance and said, "No, you really have a girlfriend?" Could it be that the thousand-year-old iron tree will also bloom? ”

"you, what millennium iron tree, is it possible that I can't find a girlfriend?" Li Guodong said angrily.

If you want to say that Li Guodong is long, he is more than seven meters long, and he looks like a literary and artistic bourgeois young man, and he doesn't look bad, but since he went to college, either the person he likes has a boyfriend, or others have taken a fancy to him, but he doesn't look down on others, so that he is still a single.

Chu Chen heard that he had a girlfriend, and he was also very curious, and said, "Hey, tell me, how does my girlfriend look, and when will I get to know him." ”

Li Guodong said a little embarrassedly: "We only confirmed the relationship yesterday, and besides, she has a thin face, so let's wait for a while." ”

Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Brother Li, your spring is coming, but you won't have some marginal thoughts because of this, right, or does your girlfriend have petty bourgeois tendencies?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, my girlfriend never asks about my family, and she is quite frugal, but her father is still a petty official in the capital department, I don't want to make some money, I can be a household, right."

Li Guodong's family situation is not bad, his parents are both teachers in key high schools in the western provincial capital, and the family lacks nothing, but of course it is impossible to be rich and rich.

So Chu Chen asked, "Then what is the opinion of her parents, did they put pressure on you?" ”

Li Guodong waved his hand and said: "We only officially dated yesterday, and her parents don't know about it yet, but thinking about the situation of her family, I have a little headache." I think if we have a good relationship, I will be ready to work in the capital, but you also know the situation of my family, and it is almost impossible to buy a house in the capital. ”

"The key to this depends on the attitude of her parents, if her parents think you are satisfied, then everything will go smoothly, on the contrary, I think it is quite difficult, but if you want to buy a house, buy it as soon as possible, now the house price is the same every day, when the money is not enough, you can ask me to borrow, you are welcome."

After speaking, Chu Chen patted his chest.

Li Guodong said with a smile: "Okay, I'm definitely not welcome then, but before that, I have to ask my parents for their opinions." ”

Chu Chen nodded, and then accompanied Li Guodong to pick up the wool. Originally, he wanted to go to the other side to choose wool, but there are too many people gathered over there now, it is really a little crowded, and the weather is hot, so he can't stand it, and he plans to go again after a while.

The performance of the wool here is so poor that I can't see the characteristics of any jade wool at all, so Chu Chen simply didn't even use a flashlight or anything, so he picked it casually, and if he thought it was pleasing to the eye, he would take a look at it and verify it with his previous experience. But to be honest, this kind of brick material does not play a role in verification.

I selected a hundred and ten pieces of wool, but the ability in my left hand didn't react at all, and Chu Chen didn't care, it was really strange that there was jade in a stone like this.

At this time, the newly arrived wool has been empty, some people have watched the excitement for a while and left, and some people have already selected satisfactory wool, ready to take it to the backyard to solve the stone, Chu Chen saw this, and was ready to go over there to select the wool, after all, those who perform haode wool, the probability of containing jadeite will be greater.

Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed on Chu Chen's face, just before he left, he picked up another piece of wool, but he didn't expect that as soon as this piece of wool was started, the ability of his left hand began to move, and he was a little overwhelmed at that moment.
