Chapter 59: Half a catty, three or two days

But even in the most skilled "gambling stone" line, Yunfei almost suffered the fate of "the threshold is too high".

The jade archway on Guangbai West Road is not the top, but it is enough to fill half of the street, and it is overcrowded. There was a strong man with a big waist standing at the door, and after only glancing at the two of them, he impatiently stretched out his hand to stop Yun Fei's chest, and pointed to the notice at the door.

"Pets, prostitutes, and beggars are not allowed to enter...... Yun Fei hesitated at first, but when he looked behind him, he saw Lan Wei with a wicked smile on his face, and his face turned black on the spot.

"Can't you change your clothes and take a shower?!" He walked down the steps in embarrassment and whispered through gritted teeth.

Who thought that the man was not only not ashamed, but raised his chin triumphantly. "Brother, my 10,000 taels will be wrapped around you! Even with interest, no more, no less! ”

"Ten thousand ......" Yun Fei almost choked in one breath, even if he could let go of his hands and feet in the jade archway in the Weiming Sect area, but this ten thousand taels is not a small amount!" You lost 10,000 taels of silver on the gambling stone? ”

"Aha." Lan Wei was playing stupid again, touching the back of her head. "Actually, the principal is only 5,000 taels, don't I tell you that the interest here is high......"

At that moment, Yun Fei really wanted to punch that smirking face. "Then you'll find a way to let me in!"

As soon as Lan Wei's smile was retracted, she immediately became serious, and touched her chin thoughtfully. "Actually, seriously, Yunfei, I've always been very optimistic about you, and I know that you are definitely not an ordinary person......"

Yun Fei didn't bother to listen to his ramblings, he kicked him in the calf, and then dragged him up the steps with the blue wisp of his neck.

"This thing is not a beggar." He straightened his neck and didn't look at the big man's expression. "It's my bet, I'm going to be here, I'm going to cash him out.

Although he didn't squint, he could feel the big man's gaze swirling around his body, from top to bottom, from left to right, and again......

He gave way! Lan Wei wanted to say a few words to fan the flames in the next moment, but he didn't expect that the big man actually moved his body and let him go!

Yun Fei straightened his neck, didn't look at him, dragged the blue wisp, like dragging a snakeskin bag, and walked straight inside.

"I'll ...... You're too 6......" Lan Wei didn't mind being dragged in the slightest, and he couldn't walk anyway, he sighed on the ground.

"Shut up!"

The jade archway on Guangbai Middle Road is not small from the outside, and it is bigger from the inside. From the bottom up, there are three floors, and the carved handrails of the staircase rotate all the way up. The lowest floor has the most people, and it can't be stretched out one after another, the second floor has much fewer people, and the third floor is a cubicle, and it is not clear how many people are sitting inside.

"Today's goal is hereβ€”" Yun Fei stood in the doorway, looked up, and muttered. "Earn 10,000 taels."

With that, he moved his arms and wrists to make sure they didn't rust to death from the soul transformation. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so let's take you to the knife!"

He parted the crowd, squeezed casually to the front of a stall, and dropped the blue wisp he was dragging in his hand.

The first floor mainly sells rough stones, which are divided into several piles and placed on four huge platforms, which are relatively cheap; There are also some separately placed stones, which are much more expensive; A few of the ones placed in the display case, not to touch but to see, those are sky-high.

Yun Fei touched a few on one of the tables, most of them were stubborn stones or miscellaneous materials, which were not worth the value they bought after they were cut.

"It's really risky to gamble on stones, and you need to be cautious in investing......" he sighed and continued to touch.

"'Don't spend a penny, give you a profit and win it back'...... How can you buy stones without spending a penny......" Lan Wei snuggled under the table like a seriously ill patient, muttering. From the moment they met, he liked to raise the bar with Yunfei.

"You don't have to worry about it!" Yunfei was tired of hearing this, and turned around, out of sight and out of mind. He dug it out again and touched a few pieces of "fake jade", which was deliberately disguised by the merchant, and the appearance and feel would give those who claimed to be "gambling stone experts" a kind of "leakage" mentality.

"The people who open jade shops often know jade best, and if you want to pick up their leaks, you have to be more professional than them." Yunfei commented while groping.

But when it comes to "professionalism", Yun Fei really dares to pat his chest and say that in the national capital, among mortals, if Luo Qingjia is called second, no one dares to covet the first. It's not that Miss Luo has the superpower of "seeing through stones", he just used some rote memorization.

stopped a random person in the national capital and asked him who the first talented woman in the national capital was, and eighty percent of the people blurted out that it was "Miss Luo San of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion". Of course, this does not mean that Luo Qingjia can blurt out poems in the face of spring flowers and autumn moons, and can answer questions fluently in the face of national political affairs.

There is a kind of ability that is innate, and no one can learn it, and what cannot be learned, is called "never forgetting". But Luo Qingjia felt that this description was a bit far-fetched, and according to herself, she never forgot it.

Eyes, ears, mouth, smell, hands, brains, hearts - do not forget.

Gambling on stones is therefore simpler, provided that you have enough money and have touched enough jade rough stones.

The Luo family has money, and thanks to the lady's liking, they have hidden a lot of jade, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and other things. Among them, Luo Qingjia loves jade and also loves to gamble - so she and some fox friends can often be seen in the gatehouse of gambling jade.

Although she did not have the qualifications to pass jade, she firmly remembered the appearance, density, color, texture, and taste of each jade and the original stone...... As long as they pass Miss Luo's senses, they are like tiny molecules stored in a huge human brain warehouse, firmly locked, and then waiting to be summoned and selected.

"This piece." Yun Fei finally pulled out a fist-sized stone from under the stone pile. Careful tossing and turning, small but not light, indicates that there is material heavier than stone; The smooth appearance indicates that it has been formed for many years; If it is intact, it means that the stone skin is hard and there must be good jade.

"This 'Tianshui Bi' weighs nearly a catty...... "Yunfei threw the stone and estimated. Tianshui Bi is the name of a type of jade, which itself is not valuable

, and the hardness is low, but because it presents a wonderful color that makes every woman tempted, it is often made into jewelry hairpins, which are often in short supply, so the price in the market is inflated.

Yun Fei also has a soft spot for this color, so he can touch this jade material even with his eyes closed.

"Then there's one last step left - cutting jade." Yun Fei carried him to the jade cutting place, and was ready to be stopped early.

"One hundred taels." The jade cutter cut the jade, collected the money by the way, put the stone on the bluestone slab, didn't look at him, and stretched out his hand.

"Cut first, then pay you."

The man then raised his eyes and looked him up and down. "There is no such rule, pay first, if you don't pay, you won't cut, and the people in the back will wait."

This time, Yun Fei was fully prepared, he leaned down and said mysteriously to the jade cutter, "Do you know who I am?" The jade that has passed through my hand, the probability of nine out of five is accurate, and people give it the nickname Jade King! You cut this piece first, it is worth at least 1,000 taels, and I will divide it into 30% for you. ”

Two fingers shook in front of the jade cutter's eyes. The man stared at Yun Fei suspiciously for a while, then put down the jade knife and stood up.

"Wang Heizi, this man wants to pay his debts and drive him out."

The big man in charge of security at the door came over slowly. Yun Fei raised his eyebrows, and things became more troublesome. The big man stared at the two of them for a while, and first recognized the ragged blue wisp, pointed at him, and asked Yun Feidao

"Isn't he your bet?"

Speaking of bets, this reminded Yun Fei, he grabbed the blue wisp, brought it to the bluestone slab of the jade, and pressed his hand on it-

"This man is worth five thousand taels, and you cut one of his hands for a hundred taels."

The doorman was stunned! But Che Yucai is not the kind of person who doesn't know big scenes, he raised his eyebrows in disbelief, really raised the snow bright knife, and with the sound of the wind and jade foam, he "bitten" at the blue wisp of hand!

Lan Wisp smiled softly. He didn't hide, he didn't blink, his two eyes were equally bright, staring at Yun Fei. He saw that the man pulled out his hand at the moment when the white knife fell, and gently flicked the rough stone under the knifeβ€”

"Brush" sound. That's a quick knife! As soon as the knife went down, a layer of thick stone skin was peeled off, just revealing the stunning pale cyan inside.

"It's Tianshui Bi ......" Although the jade cutter didn't say that he was born, but looking at the mouth shape, Yun Fei knew his thoughts, and he said faintly, "The jade is what I took and you cut, even if my means are not bright, your laxity is not dedicated." ”

Pressing his hand on the jade rough stone, Yunfei mysteriously raised the corners of his mouth. "You cut this piece of jade, I will pawn it and hand over half of the money as the cost of buying the original stone, of course, in order to convince you, let's make a bet I said, this is half a catty and three taels of Tianshui Bi, if it deviates by one tael, I will lose you ten thousand taels of silver, how about it?"

Seeing that Che Yuren's eyes were slightly suspicious, he immediately added another sentence. "You don't want to make a big deal out of it, do you? - I'm a little embarrassed that so many people are watching. ”

The jade man glared at him fiercely, he came to the jade archway without taking a penny, do you know that he is embarrassed? But this person's words really made him a little tempted.

"Half a catty and three taels of blue water...... If it's one or two, I'll lose. ”

This kid looks like a layman. Connoisseurs generally only talk about the approximate type and price, but not the weight. Only those legendary masters like to show off and learn, and estimate the pounds. But that's at most one catty, two catties, not as accurate as a few taels...... The jade cutter raised his eyes and stared at Yun Fei, his slender little eyes as if he wanted to see his heart.

Is this kid stupid, or is he too arrogant?

But whether it's stupid or crazy, the ending is the same anyway - the jade archway won't lose a penny, and the only thing that can be lost is this kid's already empty pocket!

"Open it, open it, so many people are present, and let everyone testify." Che Yuren made up his mind to convince him of losing. So, in Yunfei's satisfied smile, the jade cutter got off the knife.

As the hands flickered, people's hearts hung to their throats. The "gold scale" was specially used to weigh jade, the pointer of pure gold and the fine structure inside could make it accurate to the "money", and Liu Liuliu, the jade cutter, stared nervously at the constantly swaying pointer with two eyes, and in his heart was fifteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down.

As soon as he got his hands on it, the professional knowledge behind Liu Liuliu told him that this thing really weighed more than half a catty! Glancing at Yun Fei with a weak and unbelievable expression, his palms suddenly sweated

Could it be, it's really half a catty, right?

The crowd was urging, expecting to see the results. He had no choice but to hold the original stone, and walked to the gold scale very reluctantly, Liu Liuliu suddenly felt that this road was so long, and before putting the jade on it, he also wiped it with his apron, afraid that his sweat would increase its weight.

No...... It's really half a catty, right? Liu Liuliu is really flying with the lonely bird in his stomach now, his heart and the pointer are shaking together, but he suddenly thought again, isn't half a catty and three taels eight taels? Why didn't the kid say eight taels, but three taels of half a catty? He's sick, isn't he?

Liu Liuliu's eyes were firmly fixed on the pointer plate, and he was still thinking about the eight taels in his mind, and his breathing stopped the moment the golden pointer stopped!

But his voice was like his vocal cords were out of control and came out of his own

"Half a catty, three taels...... Three money! ”
