Chapter 23: Gambling Stones

"Stop!"

The stall owner ran in front of Li Mo and hurriedly stuffed a thousand yuan over.

Li Mo glanced back at the beauty in red, and happened to see the beauty in red squeezing her eyes proudly, that look was really annoying.

Li Mo frowned slightly, and without hesitation, he returned the jade pendant to the stall owner.

This seriously damaged jade pendant has no value at all in appreciation, Li Mo bought it for a thousand dollars, but he took a fancy to the little bit of 'chalcedony' hidden in this jade pendant.

This jade pendant, even if it is handed over to a god-level refining master, it will not be able to extract the slightest 'chalcedony' essence from it, and only Li Mo, who has mastered the secret of heaven and earth creation, has that ability.

That little bit of chalcedony was completely unwanted, and it wasn't particularly valued in the first place, so Li Mo didn't even have the idea of arguing.

If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, it doesn't matter.

"Beauty, beauty, I'll help you get the jade pendant back!"

The stall owner trotted and handed the jade pendant to the red-clothed beauty with a flattering face.

"I changed my mind, I don't want to."

The beautiful woman in red snorted, and she left.

The stall owner held the jade pendant in his hand, and his smile froze.

"You...... You...... You ......"

"What am I, I haven't paid yet, naturally I can want it or not, do you want to sell me?"

The beautiful woman in red grimaced at the stall owner and walked away.

"Ahh

Now that the stall owner has the heart to kill, looking at the back of the beautiful woman in red, he is helpless, thinking about it, stomping his feet, and chasing Li Mo.

"Friend, friend, I just thought about it, this jade pendant, is it still ...... I'll sell you!"

The stall owner caught up with Li Mo, he was so tired that he was panting, he was really in a hurry.

"I don't want it."

Li Mo said lightly, and the stall owner almost cried.

Fifty yuan for the broken jade pendant, sold for a month and no one wanted, today finally came to the buyer, but was messed up by his own greed.

It's all to blame on that hateful little lady in red, it's so hateful!

But now it's not time to scold, when you complain, business has to be done.

"Nine hundred, how about nine hundred!"

Li Mo walked forward slowly, browsing the items on the stalls on both sides, and was noncommittal to the words of the jade pendant stall owner.

"Eight hundred, eight hundred, I admit my loss today, how about making a friend?"

"Why don't you make a price!"

Seeing that Li Mo still didn't react at all, the stall owner was in a hurry.

Li Mo stretched out a finger: "One hundred." ”

The stall owner's lips trembled.

"Sell it, sell it, take the money!"

Seeing that Li Mo had gone away again, the stall owner knew that there was no need to negotiate, so he gritted his teeth and sold a hundred.

Just this broken jade pendant, it has been sold for a month, and there is no one who asks the price, to put it mildly, it is good to make money.

In this way, Li Mo spent a hundred yuan to buy back the broken jade pendant.

"Call you greedy, call you greedy."

The stall owner took a hundred yuan and slapped himself as he walked, he was depressed.

Li Mo put away the jade pendant, this object is worthless in the hands of others, but in his hands, the value is higher than those well-preserved real antiques.

A trace of chalcedony is ten thousand catties of jade, and the value of jade that can produce chalcedony is no longer measurable by money.

"Take a look, take a look, a knife is rich, don't miss a good opportunity!"

A shout came, Li Mo looked up and saw a stall full of people in front of him.

The items placed in the stall were nothing but a pile of earthy yellow stones, large and small, and many people held stones in their hands, or knocked, or photographed, or smelled, or licked, so it was not lively.

They're gambling on stones.

Those earthy yellow stones are all jadeite rough stones, and the quality of them is naturally good and bad, a knife is poor, a knife is rich, a stone may make people rich instantly, or it may make people bankrupt overnight.

Gambling stones, playing is a heartbeat, a knife and two eyes, because of the excitement, because it is possible to make a fortune overnight, so no matter where the gambling stone stall is placed, there will never be a shortage of guests.

"This piece, this piece, and this piece, rub it for me!"

A lean young man with a pair of glasses picked out three pieces of jade rough the size of a grinding disc and asked the boss to rub the stones on the spot.

There are three popular ways to gamble on stones: rubbing stones, cutting stones, and grinding stones.

The effect of stone rubbing is good and relatively safe. Any blind move to the knife can easily cause the green "solution" to run away and lose the bet. Therefore, with the wipe, you can use a strong light to look in, and then judge the depth, width and shade of green.

Cutting stone is simple, one knife in half, good or bad immediately, grinding stone and rubbing stone are similar in method, the difference is only, rubbing stone is more exquisite.

The owner of the gambling stone shop shouted: "Three rough stones, each with a unit price of 300,000 yuan, and a handling fee of 3,000 pieces for rubbing stones, friend, are you sure you want to wipe them?" ”

The man with glasses had already bought no less than twenty rough stones in his shop, but he would shout every time, for the reason that the onlookers would hear and testify for him, so as not to run into a debt.

"Rub!"

The man with glasses pushed his glasses, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The boss shouted: "Money first, wipe later, Tong Suo is not bullied!"

"Did I miss you?"

"It was not bad before, but in the gambling industry, there is this rule, and one by one settles the accounts."

"Give you money!"

The man with glasses took out his mobile phone and transferred money on the spot.

Then, the rubbing began

The man with glasses was obviously not very lucky, he opened twenty rough stones in front of him, and the best one was only barely enough for the cost of that rough stone, and the rest couldn't even recover the cost at all.

The three rough stones were rubbed, rubbed for a while and turned into grinding, and after grinding for a while, they became cuts, and finally the three rough stones became six, and there was nothing in them except a trace of green bars that could barely be seen by the naked eye.

"It's a big loss......"

"It's over, it's gone."

The man with glasses turned pale, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit them tremblingly, lit them several times, and when he put the cigarette back, the cigarette fell to the ground again.

"Gambling on stones, just play with it, don't be greedy."

"This guy didn't lose much today."

"From morning to now, at least six million have passed."

"Oh my God, if I had six million, I'd gamble on a."

"Come on, the biggest piece of your store!"

The glasses man has a hoarse voice, pointing to the most conspicuous and largest piece of rough stone.

The rough stone was half a person tall and weighed more than 10,000 catties.

The owner of the gambling stone shop said with a smile: "Friend, the reserve price of this rough stone is 100 million, and it has been bought now, and in a few days, it will be sent to the auction of rare treasures and public auctions as the treasure of the town fair!"

Hearing the offer of the owner of the gambling stone shop, the crowd exclaimed.

The reserve price is 100 million, which is definitely a big deal.

Looking at the man with glasses, his face turned a little paler, he began to choke on his cigarettes, he lowered his head and wandered around a pile of rough stones, looked at it for more than ten minutes, and did not shout to buy it again.

"Boss, this piece, grind and see!"

An old man dressed in a Tang costume with a white beard picked up a fist-sized rough stone and handed it to the owner of the gambling stone shop.

"Ouch, Yu Lao."

When the owner of the gambling stone shop saw the old man, he immediately smiled, took the rough stone, handed it to the workers on the side, and ordered: "This is picked by the old man, be careful." ”

The man with glasses stood up and said angrily, "Why didn't he pay first?" Why should I pay first? What do you mean!"

The crowd laughed, and the onlookers told him before the owner of the gambling stone shop spoke.

"This is Yu Lao, Yu Boyan, can you compare with him?"

"Yu Boyan, Yu Lao, a national first-class appraisal master, just this name, is worth tens of millions, let him pay first, then Boss Wei seems to don't want to do this."

"Hahahaha......"

A group of people laughed, and the man with glasses had nowhere to go, squatting in the pile of rough stones, his eyes wandering blindly again.

Just when it was difficult to decide whether the glasses man was chosen, the original stone chosen by Yu Boyan and the grinding stone came out.

"Yu Lao grinding stone, 5,000 raw materials, open Yang green high-grade, estimated at 900,000!"

The crowd of onlookers let out an exclamation in unison.
