Chapter 25: Gambling Stones
Song Qingran took out a card and handed it over, it was given to her by Zuo Chen before, saying that it was pocket money, Song Qingran didn't pay much attention to how much money was on it, but it was estimated that it would not be less.
The staff returned the cards and gave them two masks and a wooden plaque.
There are three boxes behind the wooden card, which are the number of open stones.
Song Qingran took it and pulled Ye Tian to the backyard, which was the place to gamble on stones.
As soon as I entered the venue, I heard a lot of people shouting, excited, crying and scolding.
Song Qingran and Ye Tiantian's masks were both half-sections, revealing a pair of eyes and jaws.
A large part of wearing a mask is to protect the privacy of the guests, so that no one can recognize anyone.
It's just that Song Qingran didn't expect that she would see Mu Yi and Su Yiran soon after she entered.
The two of them were also wearing masks, but Song Qingran could be sure from their clothes and body shape that they were indeed Mu Yi and Su Yiran.
The two of them passed by Song Qingran, and they didn't give a single one of their eyes, so they didn't recognize it.
But think about it, although Mu Yi has been with her for three years, most of them are Song Qingran around him, and the clothes he wears are all picked by Song Qingran himself, otherwise how could he recognize it at a glance.
But Mu Yi didn't pay much attention to her, and Su Yiran approached her for a purpose, and he didn't care much about her.
Song Qingran had long been accustomed to their hypocrisy, and he didn't recognize it and didn't react at all.
Ye Tiantian seemed to see it too, pointed to the two people and asked, "Qingran, are they scumbags and?"
Song Qingran couldn't laugh at her title, so she had to nod, "It's Mu Yi and Su Yiran, your little eyes are quite manageable." β
Ye Tiantian raised his eyebrows and squinted with a smile.
The game of gambling stones is exciting to play, and there are many people around the stall, Song Qingran did not take the liberty of starting, but watched how others played around.
Su Yiran and Mu Yi stood on the other side of them, Song Qingran saw that she was coquettish to Mu Yi, as if she wanted to play, and then Mu Yi temporarily left to pay the money and go through the relevant procedures, and then came back with the same wooden card as them.
"Boss, I'll come." Su Yiran handed the wooden sign to the boss.
"Wow-" A shrill scream erupted from the crowd around her, and seeing that she was a girl, the heckling was even worse.
Song Qingran heard someone next to him talking, "Even if it's a young lady from any family, come out and play!" β
"It's possible, you see that she is wearing a famous brand, maybe she doesn't understand anything, she just comes to play."
"Rich manβ"
Su Yiran naturally heard those discussions, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
To say that she was like a rich lady - such a family had always been what she wanted, and she felt an irrepressible sense of pride when those people praised her, but it would not be very pleasant to say that she was just playing.
The boss smiled and pointed to the stones on the ground, "Little girl, we are all good rough stones shipped from Myanmar, and the chances of starting the treasure are very high, you have to pick them carefully." β
Su Yiran nodded, as if to prove herself, she took out what she had learned all her life to select the rough stones.
There were a lot of stones on the ground, the big ones were on the left and the small ones were on the right, and Su Yiran was like most people in the big stone piles.
Under normal circumstances, large stones have a higher chance of producing gemstones.
Su Yiran borrowed the store's flashlight and magnifying glass to observe the situation inside through the cracks in the stone.
He was in a good position, like a professional.
"Qingran, you still teach how to gamble on stones? Would she really do this? Ye Tiantian couldn't help but ask curiously.
Song Qingran smiled, "This is the basic method, observing with a flashlight and a magnifying glass can only give you some comfort in your heart, and what you can see may be very small." β
"Oh," Ye Tingtian nodded as if he didn't understand.
A lot of gambling stones rely on luck, some of the lucky ones make a fortune by gambling stones, and some of the bad luck directly bankrupt and die.
Of course, strength is also essential.
But the expertise they learned doesn't make them win.
After Su Yiran finished reading, she stretched out her hand and pointed out the three stones.
The boss asked, "Is the little girl confirmed?"
"Sure." Su Yiran was full of confidence.
The boss took the three stones out and instructed the guys to drive them one by one.
"Girl, which one will be opened first?" The boss asked.
Su Yiran thought for a while and pointed to the biggest one, "This one." β
The guy took out the tools and peeled them off layer by layer, a large piece of stone shrunk layer by layer and still couldn't see anything, Su Yiran gradually became a little flustered, she subconsciously glanced at Mu Yi behind her, the latter couldn't see the expression on his face clearly with a mask.
Instead, there was a lot of talk in the crowd.
"Look, I said that this girl is just here to play, and she must not understand anything, and she is pointing nonsense."
"People didn't spend your money, what are you trying to do!"
"Alas, but such a big stone can't be a waste stone, isn't this little girl unlucky?!"
"Is Yin Tang black, and the clouds overhead?"
"! With a mask, how can you tell that her Yin Tang is black! β
Several people were talking about the topic more and more deviant, and the stone was almost gone, the boss was shaking his fan on the side calmly, and Su Yiran's nervous clothes were almost wet.
If you don't have anything, will Mu Yi feel useless?!
Ye Tian said disdainfully: "I thought she was very powerful just now, but the first one turned out to be a waste rock."
Song Qingran chuckled, "Wait a little longer, this stone won't be wasted." β
Ye Tian glanced at her in surprise, and then his mentality changed inexplicably.
Qingran said that there is, then there must be.
I guess even she didn't know why she trusted her so much.
"Alasβthere it is! Look! A shout erupted from the crowd.
Then all sorts of surprise screams came out.
"See, it's obsidian!"
"I saw it, I saw it, and the condition was not bad."
"I can't see it, the little girl still has some ability."
ββ¦β¦β
From the first voice, Su Yiran breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves were also relaxed, and she took the fist-sized obsidian from her boss's hand.
"Congratulations to the little girl, the flag is victorious, which one is the second one?"
Su Yiran had a smile on her face, and even her voice was tainted with pleasure, "Open the small one." β
The guy had to give the order, take out the small one, and peel it off skillfully.
With the first one, the onlookers didn't dare to make up their minds easily, until the rough stone was peeled off and it was determined that it was empty, and then some regretful sighs came out.
Su Yiran doesn't care now, no matter what, she just has an obsidian formation to suppress the array.
The last one soon opened as well, a piece of emerald green the size of a baby's fist.
Two of the three rough stones are opened, such a probability is enough to show that Su Yiran is not a straw bag, she is still a bit really talented.
Some people in the crowd took the lead in applauding, and some even shouted: "Girl, I'll pay 100,000 yuan, is it good to buy the obsidian in your hand!"
Su Yiran smiled, and before she could answer, another person said, "I'll pay 130,000 and sell it to me!" β
"I, me, me! I buy it too! Girl, you can make a price, as long as I give it, you can ask for as much as you want! β
ββ¦β¦β
A good gambling stone scene was brutally turned into an auction scene.
Song Qingran couldn't laugh or cry, and Ye Tiantian was also stunned, "How can there be such an operation?!γ
Su Yiran returned to Mu Yi with two gems and replied softly, "I'm sorry, I don't sell it." Rejected everyone at once.
Everyone died down, and they all sighed with some regret.
The boss shook the fan in his hand, "Which one else would you like to try?" β
Although Su Yiran made a good start, not many people dared to try this kind of thing easily.
Song Qingran walked out with a sign, "Boss, I'll come." She handed the sign over and picked it up in front of a pile of rough stones.
Su Yiran and Mu Yi's original footsteps were brought back by this voice, and their voices and figures were somewhat familiar, but they glanced at each other, but they still didn't remember who it was.
Song Qingran and Su Yiran pick stones are two completely different styles, Su Yiran picks up the big ones, and Song Qingran picks the small ones.
She was wandering among the small rough stones on the right, and a staff member around her couldn't help but remind: "Girl, it's all picked by others, and there won't be any good material, you can pick it in another place."
"Well, it's okay, thanks for the reminder." Song Qingran thanked him politely, but still didn't move.
This time, she was sprayed more ruthlessly than when Su Yiran first came out, but because the clothes Song Qingran was wearing by Zuo Chen who found someone to customize for her, there was no brand at all, so she was named "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
Ye Tiantian rolled his eyes disdainfully on the side, thinking that you are stupid, and your whole family is stupid.
Su Yiran's first stone, Song Qingran could see that there was a treasure in it with only two eyes, and she believed that Song Qingran would definitely not look away!
Song Qingran ignored all the voices around her and picked out three stones that she had taken a fancy to at the beginning.
If she hadn't taken a fancy to these stones at a glance, she wouldn't have stopped looking at them for so long, and seeing the pair of "adulterers and adulteresses" simply affected her mood.
"Alright, that's all."
The stones Song Qingran picked were all small, and they could be held with one hand.
The boss asked symbolically again: "The girl is confirmed?"
"Sure, sure, very sure. Boss, this stone is small, let's open it together. β
Su Yiran thinks that this woman may really be sick, is she afraid that she will not be embarrassed? Do you want to open together?
The boss also twitched the corners of his mouth, and replied helplessly, "Okay".
Then call the guy to open the stone.
This time, the audience looked like they were watching a good show, waiting to see how she made a fool of herself, and even thought that if it was all wasted, would this stupid girl sit on the ground and cry.
That being said, there are still good and bad skills in opening stones, not to mention that the stones are not exactly the same size, so the time to open the stones is also different.
The fastest is the one in the middle, the rough stone is small, and the guy only peels off one layer, revealing a little green.
At first, the crowd was still quiet, I was afraid that it was just that piece, and there would be no more after peeling it, but unexpectedly, the guy changed his position and continued to open, it was still green, and a thin layer of skin was peeled off, and a whole gem was exposed, which was the size of a baby's head.
Everyone was stunned, did it come so big as soon as they came up?!
The guy who opened the stone was also taken aback, it was rare to open such a large amount of material for so many years, not to mention that the original stone was only so small.
The piece of green jade was shining in place, almost blinding everyone's eyes, Ye Tian raised his head arrogantly, "Who said she was stupid just now?!" I think you're stupid! β
The crowd didn't notice her "personal attack" at all, staring at the remaining two, their eyes burning, as if waiting for the next miracle to happen.
The other two guys sped up the movements of their subordinates, and the second one was quickly peeled off, and it was a fist-sized piece of obsidian, which was the same as Su Yiran's before, which was also a big gain.
The third, which was also soon introduced, was a bowl-sized piece of amber.
All three!
Such a hit rate is very small, and those rough stones are all picked by others, how unfavorable these people were at the beginning, Song Qingran was not optimistic about her, and now they look at her with admiration in their eyes.
Everyone pointed at the three gems, and their tones were stained with envy.
The boss also stood up with some surprise, looked in front of the three gems, and pointed to the emerald green and sighed, "This is a purebred ice silk jade, girl, good luck." β
Song Qingran raised his eyebrows and silently accepted the compliment.
Her three treasures are not in bad condition, crystal clear, free of impurities, and shining in the sun.
Su Yiran's limelight just now was nothing left, she clenched her fists, staring at the familiar back full of resentment.
