Chapter 33: Little Leak
Cutting, in the later generations, is the joint work of large machinery and small machinery, and in this high-martial world, it is the operation of high-handeded knives above the blood realm, and these people are cutting masters.
Wang Mang Ziliang asked the boss to cut on the spot, and the boss over there called the on-site cutting master.
Seeing that the stone was being cut here, some people surrounded them in twos and threes.
"These three pieces of material look ordinary, and they don't look like good materials, so I don't think they can cut anything good. ”
"You're wrong, last time there was a stunned boy who used this kind of material to cut out a piece of high-grade jade, and the capital of ten taels of silver earned hundreds of taels. ”
"It was all an accident, I haven't seen anything like this in all my years. ”
"You're raising the bar, but his pieces of material really don't seem like they can cut good things out of my eyes. ”
Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Wang Mang said, "Can you still see anything from the appearance of this stone?"
"Absolutely. Ziliang introduced: "There is a lot of knowledge here, such as the origin of this material, the size and direction of the surface cracks, the situation of planting water, the situation of the epidermis, etc., anyway, it is not clear in a few words, and if you really want to learn this, you can't enter the door without a year and a half." ”
"Then have you started?" asked Wang Mang.
"I'm barely getting started. Ziliang smiled modestly.
"Young man, you are not very old, and your tone is not small, I have been in this gambling business for a long time, but I have never seen you. At this time, one of the onlookers sneered and spoke.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Ziliang sneered: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, and whoever hears the Tao first is not older than whom." ”
"The young man is getting louder and louder, and the young people of today are not modest at all. The man said, "You are older, you eat more salt, and you have more knowledge, so you are naturally more experienced than your young people." ”
"Then I don't know how your experienced old man is mixing now?" Zi Liang was also aroused by this person, and sneered: "Seeing that you are still mixing here for so long, it seems that you are not mixing well!"
"You kid......" the popular shouted: "Who doesn't know me in this gambling stone shop, Ximen Blowing Water, I am a famous connoisseur." ”
"Simon blows water, I think Simon bragging is better. Ziliang smiled: "Since you are so powerful, why don't you have fun?"
"Play and play, who is afraid of whom. Simon snorted coldly and said, "How are you going to play?"
"This is a gambling house, and you can't do anything without a gambling word. Ziliang smiled: "Let's make a bet, if you win, I will choose any one of the things in this stall for you to pay, if I win, I will choose any one of the things in this stall for you to pay, what do you think?"
"Bet on it, how to bet?" Simon Blowing Water glanced at the stall, rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Just bet on whether the piece of material you said will go up or down?" Ziliang said: "Since I bought this stone, I naturally bet on the rise, I don't know if you dare to bet on it?"
"Naturally, dare to bet!" Simon Fushui took a deep look at the stone that had reached the cutting master's hand, and nodded.
"Cut. Ziliang waved his hand, the cutting master turned his hand, and a cutting knife appeared in his hand, with the rotation of the cutting knife, the outer skin of the stone slowly disappeared, and the inner layer of the stone was gradually exposed.
"Fall, fall, fall!" At this time, Simon Blowing Water suddenly shouted.
"Fall your sister, it's all green, at least don't lose this bet. Ziliang was still talking, and someone next to him couldn't look at it.
"What is greening?" Wang Mang asked.
"It's the color of the jade wrapped in the stone before it is revealed. Ziliang pointed to a small piece of green on the stone and said: "Look, this is this, there is this, it means that there is definitely jade in this material, and looking at this green, the jade inside is not bad." ”
"So that's the case, then you're going up?" Wang Mang said curiously.
"That's right, it's up, at least it's not down. Ziliang smiled, then looked at Ximen and said, "What do you say?"
"I'm ......" Simon Blowing Water's face turned red, and said, "It's just a moment of good luck!"
As he was talking, the cutter went down with one last knife, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Childe, is Childe going to keep it for himself or sell it?"
"Sell. Ziliang smiled.
At this time, the stall owner stood up and said, "Since the guest officer is selling, I see the quality, and the small shop is willing to pay two hundred taels." ”
"Yes. Ziliang nodded, gave the silver handed over by the boss to Wang Mang's hand, and said, "It's yours." ”
"Isn't this good?" Wang Mang's expression moved.
"Originally, it was your money, so it was naturally yours. Ziliang smiled and pointed to Ximen and said, "Besides, didn't I win his bet?"
"That's right. Wang Mang nodded and ordered Li Lan to accept it.
The cutter picked up another stone, which was the same stone that caused Dahei to move.
At this time, the Ximen blew his eyes and suddenly said: "I don't think this stone is very good, it is not a good thing at first glance, and there is nothing good from the outside. ”
Wang Mang looked at Ximen Blowing Water with a smile and said, "This Ximen braggart brother, do you mean to make a bet with me?"
"You're smart. Ximen Fushui looked stunned, and immediately understood that Wang Mang had seen through his thoughts, gritted his teeth, and didn't care about his face, and said to Wang Mang: "That's right, I'm about to make a bet with you, a kid with a milky smell, I don't know if your kid dare?"
"Why don't you dare, let's talk about a gambling method?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and his face turned cold.
"Just like just now, if you win, I will choose any of the things in this booth and you will pay the bill, and if I win, I will choose any of the things in this booth and you will pay the bill. "Simon blows the waterway.
"You're trying to make up for your lost bets on me. Wang Mang smiled and said: "My son agreed, what are you betting on?"
"Fall!" Ximen Blowing Water gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, you can have good luck twice in a row." ”
"If you bet on the fall, I will bet on the rise. Wang Mang smiled, "But I think I have to change the bet, what do you think?"
"How do you bet?" Simon said, "You can't go back." ”
"Don't regret it, you won, I will pay for any of the things in this stall, but I won, I don't want your things, I want to ......" Wang Mang said coldly: "I want you to make amends for what you said!"
Simon's face changed, and he shouted, "You deceive people too much!"
"But let you make amends, why deceive people too much?" Wang Mang was stunned.
"You don't know, it's not easy to make amends in this gambling house. Ziliang explained on the side: "The gambling house is the most rule-oriented place, if the gambling house does not pay attention to the rules, who will dare to gamble in the future, so there are rules for making amends in the gambling house, and the rules are that the reparation in the gambling house is to kowtow and apologize!"
"Is there such a saying?" Wang Mang hadn't thought about it so much before, but now he did frown, and said after a while: "Forget it, it's still as I said before, I can choose any one thing in the stall and you can pay the bill." ”
Seeing that Ximen Blowing Water agreed, Wang Mang motioned to the cutting master to start cutting, and as soon as the cutting master got Wang Mang's consent, he immediately cut it.
At this moment, there are already a lot of people around, after all, such a bustle is not common, and Wang Mang and others are face-to-face, Ximen Blowing Water is a famous stone critic in this area, and it is not easy to see him deflated.
"Do you say these young people won, or will Simon blow the water win?"
"Who knows, it stands to reason that Simon should win by blowing water, but although these young people look bullish, they should be novices, and you also know that novices are often lucky. ”
"That's right, novices are evil, think when I first played this, it was really a big killing, at that time I really felt that I was the son of heaven, destined to run when the time came, that was to make a fortune, who knew that I really played this, and there was no more evil nature in the novice period!"
"As soon as you say that, I feel that this Ximen blowing water is going to be planted this time!"
"He doesn't lose either, people play with others, they want him to talk more, he is also an old man, don't you know the truth of gambling on stones and not saying a true gentleman?"
"How can you not understand and bully newcomers!"
"Look, it's green!"
"It's really evil, there are two stones in a row today, and they don't look like good things from the outside. ”
Ximen Blowing Water could hear the surrounding discussions, his face was pale, and at this time he suddenly heard this green exclamation, and couldn't help but look over, and that touch of green immediately made Ximen Blowing Water's face change miserably, and he shouted in his mouth: "How is it possible?"
"Yes, congratulations to Huang Gongzi. Ziliang also looked at Wang Mang with a smile on his face at this time.
"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to bet on this for the first time. Wang Mang said with a smile.
"What's the fun?" At this time, Simon Fushui suddenly said gloomily: "Dead Green is so happy!"
"Dead green, really dead green!"
"Originally, I thought that this Simon was going to be planted, but I didn't expect to come and let him win. ”
"Think about it, this is like the probability that a stone can produce a good jade is originally small, and today there is already a piece, how can there be another piece. ”
"It's a shame to be dead green!"
Wang Mang listened to the voices around him, and said a little confused: "What does this dead green mean?"
"It's fake green. Ziliang was a little embarrassed and said: "Although this kind of green is also green, but the color is dull, it can be the most confusing, as soon as this appears, it means that there must be no good goods in the stone, so it is also called fake green, this ......"
"Haha, Lao Tzu just said, how can it be possible to produce two treasures in a row. Ximen blew water at Wang Mang and laughed: "How can my experience be wrong, I am a famous stone connoisseur, I can't produce good things at a glance of this stone, if I can really produce good things, I will gouge out my eyes, a few young people, or too tender!"
Ximen's words of blowing water made everyone, including Wang Mang, frown, thinking that this guy was too jumpy.
Wang Mang frowned and looked at the dead green he had done, but his expression moved: "What is the white behind this green?"
"White?"
"Oh my God, it's white!"
"How is this possible? Isn't this a jade area? Why is it white?"
"Hell yes!"
And Ximen Fushui also saw a smear of white at this time, and immediately turned pale, and sat on the ground with a frightened plop, muttering in his mouth: "How is this possible, how can it be white, this is a spirit stone!"
