Chapter 2 The Master in the Circle
Shulin Street.
The most famous jade street in Tengzhou.
Even though it was close to midnight, Shulin Street was still brightly lit, and many foreign tourists and local gamblers gathered here, concentrating on choosing their favorite stones.
On the whole street, one of the most lively jade shops is the Emerald Green Pavilion.
Three years ago, the Emerald Green Pavilion was originally run by Li Yidao, but unfortunately it has long been occupied by Shen Hongbin.
After stopping and staring for a long time, after taking a deep breath, Li Yidao turned around and left.
It's not that Li Yidao doesn't want to get back what belongs to him, it's just that Li Yidao knows that even if he rushes into the Emerald Pavilion to question now, it will only be him Li Yidao who will lose face in the end.
Although he arrived at the most famous jade street in Tengzhou, Li Yidao did not enter it.
Because the jade shop on Shulin Street, although it also provides rough stones to gamblers, it is not a good place to gamble stones in Tengzhou.
And what Li Yidao is going to tonight is the jade ghost market that only local gamblers know.
After crossing Shulin Street and walking in the direction of the outside of the city for more than 40 minutes, Li Yidao finally arrived at an urban village in Tengzhou.
Compared with the classical and luxurious jade shops on Shulin Street, it seems much rougher here.
Piles of rough jadeite stones are stacked on both sides of the road, and many gamblers and jadeite dealers are picking stones around.
If you look closely, you will find that in addition to those gamblers and jade dealers, there is another kind of people in this jade ghost market.
That kind of person is called Shiye, Shiye, and it refers to the think tank that gave advice in the old government.
In the gambling stone circle, the so-called master is the palm eye of some special jadeite dealers or those tourists who come from other places to select stones.
These people do not pay for the stones themselves, but for others.
If they get the bet right, they can also earn a lot of money.
And most of these people have been in the gambling industry for most of their lives, and in the end they lost their families and lost their fortunes, and they had no choice but to become masters.
Li Yidao never thought that one day he would fall to such a point.
Like most masters, Li Yidao looked around, saying hello to passing jade dealers and tourists from time to time, hoping that someone would hire him to gamble on stones.
It's a pity that those jade dealers and tourists all shook their heads when they saw Li Yidao's age when he was only in his early twenties.
Master's profession is basically the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine, and the older you get, the more popular you are.
"Li Yidao?"
Just when Li Yidao looked decadent and was about to give up earning the first pot of gold by being a master for others, suddenly a very ethereal voice sounded in Li Yidao's ears.
Li Yidao turned around and found that it was no one else who stopped him, it was Chen Shu, his tablemate when he was in vocational school.
Chen Shu, who has long faded and is wearing a professional attire, looks particularly charming and attractive.
Chen Shu was also followed by a beautiful woman who was about thirty years old, and the beautiful woman did not deliberately wear it, but just from the touch of temperament between the eyebrows, Li Yidao could see that the beautiful woman must be a person who is either rich or noble.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard you ......"
"I just came back, my mother needs money for surgery, why don't I come to see if I can be a master and make some money in case of emergency."
Li Yidao didn't hide it, but just interrupted Chen Shu's inquiry.
Three years ago, because of the design of Shen Hongbin and Fan Meifang, Li Yidao lost not only Wanguan's family wealth, but also fame and honor.
Hearing that Li Yidao was anxiously waiting for money to operate on his mother, Chen Shumei's eyes blinked slightly, and he turned his head to say to the beautiful woman beside him.
"Sister Liu, aren't you just looking for a master to experience the fun of gambling stones?"
"It just so happens that my classmate was our youngest Emerald tycoon three years ago."
Li Yidao didn't expect that his tablemates, who didn't have a good relationship in the past, would take the initiative to help at this moment.
Because of Chen Shu's strong recommendation, this beautiful woman named Sister Liu raised her head and looked Li Yidao up and down, her eyes flashed with doubt, obviously not believing that Li Yidao, who was only in his early twenties, would be the jade tycoon in Chen Shu's mouth.
"You two want to gamble on stones, right?"
"It's better to give you a palm of the hand."
Just when Li Yidao was about to take this opportunity to send to the door in one go, an inopportune voice suddenly sounded.
When the words landed, a middle-aged man with sinister eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes came up.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked at Li Yidao with a threatening face, and said something strange in a yin and yang manner.
"Yo ho, isn't this Brother Dao?"
"Mining is back?"
Li Yidao recognized that the middle-aged man was an old oilman in the master's business, and he had also dealt with him three years ago.
Although fair competition has long been advocated in all walks of life, even taxi and black car drivers will join together.
What's more, it is a gambling stone business with greater benefits, so most of the master's business also appears in groups, even if others have that ability, it is not easy to eat this bowl of rice.
But now, his mother is still waiting for 300,000 yuan to save his life, Li Yidao has no choice, even if he knows that if he persists tonight, it will be tantamount to offending all the masters in this ghost market.
"Sister Liu, let's do it."
"You find other masters to give you a palm, even if you don't cut out any good water with a knife, you have to give money."
"If you look for me and don't cut out a good head, I don't want a penny."
Since he chose to snatch food from other people's mouths, Li Yidao would also be completely open-minded, and he broke the inherent rules of the master's profession with a direct sentence.
It's a pity that Li Yidao's words landed, and what he provoked was not envy and affirmative cheers, but laughter in the hall.
"Laughing to death, who doesn't know that gambling stones are four points of palm, three points of money, and the remaining four points are all up to luck."
Even the old oilman who has been messing around in the ghost market for a long time will look at Li Yidao with a playful face.
"If you can make a good head with a knife, Lao Tzu will write the name upside down!"
In the face of the laughter in the hall, Li Yidao didn't bother with it, just clenched his fists and stared at the beautiful woman in front of him.
For others, this is just an ordinary gamble, but for Li Yidao, it is an opportunity to make a comeback.
"Okay, just do as you say!"
"If you can't open a good head, I won't give you a penny."
