Chapter 251: One Knife Poor, One Knife Rich
Back at the inn, Xue Wu entered the space as usual, and put the pile of food she had bought earlier on the table, sharing it with the wooden crane and the pangolin.
There are many living creatures in the space, but only the two of them have the intelligence to be able to chat with her and keep her from feeling too lonely.
After telling them what they had seen and heard outside that day, Xue Wu handed over the bag of wool to the puppeteer and asked them to untie the wool and take out the jade meat inside.
She herself went to practice step by step.
The next day, Xue Wu officially started her wool procurement journey.
The first destination is the famous woolen street. There are hundreds of wool stalls or jade shops here, gathering jade merchants from all over the country.
In particular, the Jade Festival will arrive in a few days, and this street is even more lively, showing a state of full of people.
The wool is like a summer watermelon, stacked in piles, waiting for someone to choose.
Xue Wu can detect the situation inside the wool by releasing her divine sense, so she doesn't have to be as selective as others to buy the wool, she doesn't understand what kind of cracks and the like she has to look at, just see if the jadeite inside the wool meets her requirements.
She bought it simply and rudely all the way, "This, this, and this, calculate how much." ”
After paying, Xue reported the address of the inn and asked the guys in the store to help deliver the wool to the inn.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed to see her so happy, and Ma Yu calculated the price for her, and took the initiative to wipe her with the odds.
"Please mark the wool so that we don't confuse you."
Xue Wu took the carving knife handed over by the store, and engraved an English letter on each piece of wool, and arranged it in order, in this world, only she should recognize it, right?
It can also be regarded as a mark that belongs to her.
"Slow down!" The shopkeeper watched her leave with a smile on his face.
If every guest is as generous and simple as this son, then the wool piled up in his treasury will not be unsold.
Xue Wu walked from the street to the end of the street, sweeping the goods all the way, but she bought too much wool, and there were not many silver tickets of 30,000 taels left!
It's too much money to spend.
You'll have to figure out how to get some money.
In fact, if she wants to make money, just open a few pieces of wool, and the materials that can be favored by her are not of bad quality, at least they are egg whites, and they can be sold for a lot of money.
But these jadeites were all bought by her to prepare to be concocted into spirit stones, so naturally she couldn't sell them, otherwise she didn't buy them for nothing?
Fortunately, she soon found a way to make money.
In front is the jade pavilion, the largest and most magnificent wool shop in the jade capital, there are three floors, the first layer is the gambling stone field, the second layer sells wool, and the third layer sells all kinds of finished products made of jadeite.
The gambling stone field is actually similar to the casino, except that the object of gambling has been changed from dice to wool.
The entire ground floor is divided into small casinos, each equipped with a calcifying machine, a calcifying master, an apprentice, and a bookmaker who presides over the gambling.
Before calcifying the stone, guests can bet on the jadeite according to the characteristics of the wool, and then place a bet.
After all the guests have placed bets, the stone solver will start to solve the stone, and when the results come out, it will be clear whether the bettor is winning or losing.
The principal of this gambling stone can be large or small, it all depends on the customer's own financial resources and courage, some people can't afford to buy a whole piece of wool, or simply like the excitement of this gambling, they like to come here.
The whole hall was noisy and steaming. All kinds of smells are mixed together, and the taste is certainly not very good.
But the people here are immersed in the frenzy of gambling on stones, and they don't care about this little problem.
And if you have been in Bao for a long time and don't smell it, you will naturally be unable to detect it if you have been in it for a long time.
Only people with a keen sense of smell like Xue Wu feel unbearable.
She simply closed her sense of smell.
In this way, it is much better.
A guy came to greet her, but Xue Wan refused the guy's service, but walked around the gambling tables by herself to understand the rules of gambling stones here.
"Ah, it's open!"
"Alas, this piece of wool is obviously performing very well, why is it not emerald!"
"In my opinion, I still can't bet on Cui, although the odds are low, but at least it's safe."
Xue Wu walked to a gambling table where the jade was untied and heard the gamblers' discussions.
"Why, it shouldn't be." In a group of gamblers, a very downcast man stared at the piece of wool that had been untied on the calcifying machine in despair, muttering to himself, obviously losing the bet, and it was difficult to accept the situation in front of him.
Suddenly, he rushed over, pushed the stone solver away, and got into the spinning car, "I haven't cut it here, I haven't lost ......"
Calcite generally cuts a knife from the middle to see if there is any jade inside, so there is a saying in the gambling circle: "A knife is poor, a knife is rich." ”
Whether you can win the bet depends on this knife.
But sometimes this one-size-fits-all method from the middle will miss the jadeite hidden in the corner, so if time permits, most people will cut all the wool to see if there is anything missing.
But this is a casino, gamblers are waiting for the result, the stone master naturally can't cut the wool piece by piece, basically only cut three knives, the first knife, the wool from the middle of the two, the second knife, the half of which is divided into two, the third knife, the other half of everything into two.
In this way, three knives down, a piece of wool will be cut into four pieces, if the three knives have not yet produced jadeite, then there is basically no jadeite.
The kind of jadeite that has not been cut out is only a very small number.
But at the moment, this man who fell into the top was obviously unable to accept the result of his gambling loss, and he was unwilling to cut all four pieces of wool to see.
Naturally, the casino will not let the gamblers come around, and soon the thugs equipped by the casino will come over.
"It's you again! The surname is Tang, if you make trouble again, believe it or not, we will break your legs! ”
"Let me go! There's definitely jadeite hidden in that piece of material! I'm going to unravel it! ”
The man surnamed Tang tried his best to break free from the thugs.
However, when his words were heard in the ears of everyone present, they only thought that he was unwilling to lose and make trouble, and no one believed his words.
Even Xue Wu, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't believe it, how credible is the words of a gambler with red eyes?
However, she still swept the scraps with her divine sense, and the next moment she was stunned!
In one of the scraps, there is really a piece of jadeite hidden! And it's also an ice species! It is the size of an egg, and the color is like a green apple, and it is evenly distributed.
At this time, a small servant came over with a basket, picked up the waste materials on the calcite platform, threw them in at random, and then carried the basket away.
