246. The dust settles

Sure enough, as soon as this "dark horse" appeared, the contestants who had been sitting as steady as Mount Tai in the square began to stir, and immediately a few people came up to find the stone solver to solve the stone. Although their wool is not as precious as that of the "dark horse", it is basically green. Such frequent green outings made the onlookers scream with excitement again.

The shouts of the onlookers stimulated the contestants, and more and more people couldn't bear to go on stage, and a large area of the contestants in the middle of the venue was vacant.

Yin Baisu looked at the nearby situation, stood up and said to Xiang Hexu who was not far away: "It's almost time, I'll go up first, Hexu, you have to hurry." ”

"Don't worry, I'll wait for Sister Yuhan." Xiang Hexu replied unhurriedly.

As soon as Yin Baisu came on the stage, he immediately attracted all the attention of the onlookers, and many girls screamed again and again, desperately chanting Yin Baisu's name to cheer for their idols. He is one of the three seeded players in this selection tournament, and it is understandable that he has such a high level of popularity. He very politely bowed to the podium, the VIP area and the judges' seats, turned around and waved to the onlookers in the direction of the gate, and then walked up to the stage with both hands on the large metal box at his feet.

Yin Baisu came to the display table on the east side, gently placed the box on the table, quickly opened the box, took out a piece of wool the size of a basin from it and placed it on the stone table, and asked the stone master to cut the material.

"Where did Bai Su get such a big piece of wool? If this whole piece is jadeite, the value is also difficult to estimate! Old Man Duan poked Ma Yu beside him, meaning something.

"Don't ask me. This is the wool that Bai Su spent a long time digging in the gambling stone distribution center, and it has nothing to do with me. Ma Mingyan directly cleared up the relationship.

"I said Brother Duan, you don't care about Bai Su's child, you see that the game is coming to an end, why hasn't Yuhan's girl come yet? If you don't come back, you won't be eligible to participate! You see that our family is ...... anxious" Feng Zijie is anxious about the apprentice's urgency, and he is worried about Duan Yuhan.

"If Yuhan can't catch up, I'll call Yuting on top. The rules don't say that a family can only produce one. Old Man Duan smiled confidently.

"Cunning and cunning." Ma and Feng glanced at this old fritter at the same time, and labeled him indecently in unison.

----------- dividing line-------------

"It's green! Out of the green! Although I can't see it clearly, I feel that this color is quite right, it may be imperial green! The sharp-eyed crowd suddenly shouted.

"Really! At least it is also a variety of Zhengyang green! Now let's see how big a piece of jadeite can come out of such a large piece. ”

“……”

Under the ardent expectation of the onlookers, Yin Baisu's wool finally showed its full appearance. Through the judges' judgment, this is a piece of Zhengyang green jadeite, although the variety is not as good as the glass species of the man in black, but the quality is also very high, and the most important thing is that the volume of the whole jadeite is relatively large, almost the size of a volleyball. The crowd of onlookers erupted in warm applause and heartfelt admiration.

Yin Baisu did not show a little smugness, directly observed the shape of this jadeite, and began to conceive the design drawing. In the eyes of the three presidents, they all nodded their heads in praise and seemed to be very satisfied with his performance.

Xiang Hexu glanced in the direction of the gate again, sighed and stood up, and saluted around as well. He lifted the suitcase at his feet and walked towards the display stand on the west side, which meant to fight against Yin Baisu. Xiang Hexu's appearance also caused enthusiastic applause from the onlookers and brainless cheers from the girls, and his popularity was equally high and terrifying.

Xiang Hexu came to the stage, opened the suitcase and carefully took out a flat piece of wool and put it on the plate, brought it to the calcification platform of a stone solving master, and motioned for him to start calcing the stone. This piece of wool is flat at one end and upturned at the other, both in shape and color, it resembles a piece of air-dried bacon, which looks very peculiar.

"This piece of wool looks so special, I don't know if the contents have an advantage over the two pieces just now." Xiaowei couldn't help but comment.

"The jadeite in this piece of wool is very complicated, which fully reflects the magic of nature, in a sense, this piece of wool is simply a one-of-a-kind superlative; However, judging from the price of jadeite, this piece is inferior to the glass species and Zhengyang green just now. "Deming Road Tiekou straight off.

"It looks like the top three in this competition are the same three guys. Now the suspense is who among the three of them will be able to take the crown. Li Lifei said.

"As far as the current uncarved jade is concerned, the highest price is the glass type of 'dark horse', followed by Yin Baisu's Zhengyang green, and then Xiang Hexu's 'bacon'. The next step is to see their design and the judges' vision. Demingdao nodded, gushing like a professional commentator.

With the unremitting efforts of the calcite master, Xiang Xu's "bacon" opened a jadeite similar to the shape of a fish. As Demingdao said, the high upturned "fish head" part is imperial green, part of the fish body is Zhengyang green, and the next large area is oil green, and only a small piece of ink cui is near the edge.

"Do your parents know about your iron-clad skills?" Ann couldn't help but hold back her mouth and complain.

"That's talent! Envy not? Jealous not? Deming said.

"If you snort again, I'll bite you!" Ann threatened through gritted teeth.

"Okay, okay, I can't afford to mess with you, I surrender." Dai Mingdao didn't want to suffer from his flesh and skin, so he was busy begging for mercy.

As the contestants took the stage one after another to show their wool, the competition entered the second stage, and at the same time, it was announced that the channel for the contestants to register for this competition was officially closed.

"Hey, Yuhan's little girl still hasn't caught up!" Ma and Feng Erlao sighed.

"Now the hope falls on the kid Yuting. It's a pity that the three people in front of them are too strong, and Yu Ting has a great chance of losing......" Old Man Duan also sighed, and in vain he seemed to have aged a lot.

Ma and Feng also showed reluctance, and they silently reached out and patted the back of Brother Duan's hand, unable to say words of comfort.

The original 100 contestants were eliminated in this stone identification link, and only more than 20 were left on the booths on both sides. The vast majority of the jadeite produced by these remaining players was either in poor condition or too small. Knowing that they had no hope of winning the championship, they automatically relinquished the middle of the stand to the six favourites who were expected to compete for the top three.

Located on the east side of the booth are Yin Baisu, Men in Black and Soy Sauce No. 1; Located on the west side of the booth are Xiang Hexu, Duan Yuting and Soy Sauce No. 2. In fact, both the judges and the audience know that the top three are Yin Baisu, Xiang Hexu and the man in black.

The design of the Man in Black came out quickly. This piece of glass jadeite can be carved into a cute appearance of a little boy holding a zongzi that is more than twice as big as him, and suddenly falling;

Yin Baisu designed a large ornament in the shape of a huge longevity peach, which means to prolong life;

Xiang Hexu designed a carp-shaped ornament that is trying to leap out of the water, the bottom of the oil green species is designed to be a continuous wave, and the edge of the black green part needs to be carved into the shape of a fishtail. This piece of jade takes the meaning of carp jumping over the dragon gate, which also complements each other very well.

Duan Yuting's jadeite is far from the three of them in terms of quality and volume, and it is a flat glutinous seed, and the design is a jade jade plaque carved with a dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern. There is nothing new or bad about this design, it can be said that it is decent.

As for the soy sauce No. 1 and No. 2 works, they are even smaller, and most of them are made into jewelry and other things.

After the contestants designed their works, they simply began to find a carver to make the molding, and the complex one was to place the design next to the jade and wait for the judges to come and compare.

It wasn't until all the contestants signaled that they were ready that the judges got up from their seats, walked over the two display stands, and carefully graded the entries of the contestants. The audience was also silent, for fear of disturbing the work of the judges and bringing unnecessary losses to the contestants.

The statistics are carried out under the supervision of all, demonstrating fairness and impartiality. The final scores of the contestants were soon announced on the big screen. Xiang Hexu's "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate" won the first place with 1256 points; The Man in Black's "Rui Nian" followed with 1247 points; Yin Baisu's "Birthday of the Immortal Peach" ranked third with 1233 points; In fourth place is Duan Yuting's "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang", with a score of 833 points. Such a score is not much different from everyone's expectations, and the onlookers used warm applause to send blessings to the players on the field, especially the top three players! By the way, the jadeite in the first three places did not start carving on site due to their large size.

"Now I announce: Xiang Hexu won the first place in this Jade Association President Selection Contest and became the next President of the Jade Association!" Old Man Duan stood up and solemnly announced, "Yin Baisu and this ......"

"President Duan, all the guests and all the audience and friends here, I have something to say!" Before Old Man Duan's announcement was finished, Yin Baisu stepped forward and said loudly.

"What's the matter?" Old Man Duan frowned, a little unhappy in his heart.

"I'm sorry for this ...... The identity of the man in black is deeply doubtful. Where is he from? How do I know about this audition? And why does it happen that there is such a piece of excellent wool? Everything about him is a mystery, and it's hard for me to convince myself to work with him without first addressing those doubts. I suggest that he retain his second place and give him a certain amount of bonuses and honors, and it would be better for Duan Yuting, who has some work experience, to take over the position of vice president. Yin Baisu said his opinion loudly.
