Chapter 8: Gambling Stones

To others, Su Zhe's movements still looked like a blind man touching an elephant. Boss Shi didn't expect a blind man to be interested in this thing, but he was in a hurry to set it up today, regardless of whether he was blind or not, as long as he made a deal.

After touching it for a while, Su Zhe asked, "Boss, how do you sell this piece?"

"One price, five thousand. ”

Su Zhe shook his head, "It's too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

"Five thousand is not expensive, if you let you bloom jadeite, I don't know how many times it will be doubled. ”

Su Zhe thought about it and stood up but shook his head, there was indeed a lump of green in it, but he didn't dare to guarantee that it was jade, he didn't understand this thing at all. "Five thousand is too expensive, I'll buy two thousand. You see, if you don't think you can sell, forget it. ”

Without giving Boss Stone time to think about it, Su Zhe turned around and prepared to leave.

"This little brother waits a minute, everything is discussed. Boss Stone hurriedly stopped Su Zhe, "That's it, one person takes a step back, how about three thousand?" Boss Stone gestured with three fingers. Su Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Two thousand and five, I can only pay this price at most." ”

Boss Shi made a hesitant expression, regardless of whether Su Zhe, a blind man, saw it or not, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two thousand five is two thousand five, deal!"

This price Su Zhe can barely accept, if it is not jadeite, he should buy a lesson. After all, he doesn't know how powerful the perspective ability is now, and if he can figure it out, he can avoid this kind of situation in the future.

"Little brother, do you want the rest of the piece, if you want it, take the two thousand five by the way. "Boss Shi is a middle-aged man of forty years old, and he wears the clothes of an ordinary migrant worker, but if he can afford to gamble on stones, he must not be short of 18,000 yuan. Su Zhe didn't know how he could sell stones in such a place, but he didn't have much interest in another stone.

Instead, the stone boss proposed, Su Zhe thought for a moment, and turned on the perspective ability again.

Nothing was found.

Su Zhe didn't want to spend too much time and was ready to put away his abilities.

"Hey, what is that?" Su Zhe was slightly surprised at this time and looked carefully. It was found that there was a golden glow inside the stone, which was not very large. Su Zhe didn't notice it just now, because this time he saw a pile of black things like withered vines in front of the golden light. I wanted to use the third layer of perspective to look at it carefully, but finally I thought about it for a long time and didn't use it.

The third layer of perspective was too time-consuming, and he didn't want to let a stone happen to him like the one he had done a few months ago.

Su Zhe withdrew his ability, returned to the dark state, moved his steps to touch the stone, and pretended to think for a while before saying: "Can it be cheaper, the five thousand yuan just now only sold for two thousand and five, how can this one only charge one thousand and five." ”

"Well, one thousand five is one thousand five. Boss Stone sighed, "I've never seen someone who can bargain so much, if I had met a few more people like you, I'm afraid I would have lost my underwear a long time ago." ”

Su Zhe laughed, and didn't think that Boss Shi was vulgar.

"Four thousand in all, these two stones are yours. ”

"I don't have that much money on me, I'm going to go to the bank and get it for you. Su Zhe said, "And you see that I am a blind man, and I can't move these two stones, or you can find someone to help me send them back." ”

"No, I've already sold it to you so cheaply, and if I send it to you again, I'll be doing a loss-making business. Boss Shi decisively refused, but gave Su Zhe an idea, "Or I'll help you call a car, and you can pay some of the handling fees then." Now that the stone is here, no one knows if it will produce jadeite, and it really makes you out, that is, the bet has risen, and it is not bad for those fares. ”

Su Zhe finally accepted the suggestion of the stone boss, but suddenly thought of a key problem, these two stones are not big, and they can be put down when they are moved back to the house. But without cutting tools, it's useless to put them back. "Boss, since you sell stones, do you have a familiar cutting factory, I can't cut the stones even if I buy them back. Instead of taking it back and putting it back, it is better to solve it directly, and it will be a shame whether the jade can be produced or not. ”

Boss Shi patted the dust on his body and said, "Little brother, what he said is also true, I just know that there is a place, wait for someone to send it over." ”

"Thank you so much. ”

The stone boss called a van, and the two stones seemed to have a lot of space when they were put on. However, some people in the crowd of onlookers secretly laughed at Su Zhe, a blind man, who was blind in his eyes and blind in his heart. If you can't see it, you dare to spend thousands of dollars to buy two stones on the road, it's really a lot of money and stupidity.

Su Zhe ignored it, got in the car and followed the stone boss in front of the cutting factory.

It is said to be a cutting factory, but in fact, it is just a 100-square-meter house built with simple wooden planks in a sparsely populated area. Su Zhe had an open ability on the way to take a look, after all, he didn't know what the stone boss was like, would he think he was a blind man, and deliberately pulled him to the barren mountains and fields to rob him.

However, after getting out of the car, Su Zhe dispelled this idea. Because he saw piles of gravel and earth chips piled up inside the cutting factory, and a lot of stones like the two stones he had just bought piled up in the corners.

"Why is Lao Chen so late?" asked a middle-aged man with a sturdy body, a slightly chubby face, and an apron on his body, at Boss Shi.

The stone boss pointed to the two stones that had been moved to the ground and said, "The machine is still on, and by the way, the two stones will be untied before the work is called." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Su Zhe and saw that he was holding a blind stick in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly. walked up to the stone boss and whispered, "Lao Chen, you are becoming more and more like a profiteer, and even the blind are deceived." ”

Boss Shi looked at Su Zhe's side, and saw that he didn't notice this, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter if he is blind or not, anyway, I just have to make money." And I'm not selling fakes, this is indeed a stone that can produce jadeite. ”

"Come on, I don't know about you, but you think you can make jade out of the stones sold on the roadside? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, secretly thinking in his heart, in this society, everyone has a dream of getting rich. In the gambling stone industry, if you bet on a piece, you will not have to worry about it in this life. Huge money lure, even the blind want to join in the fun.

Putting the two stones in front of the cutting machine, the middle-aged man asked, "Little brother, how are you going to cut these two stones?"

Su Zhe tapped a few times on the ground with a blind stick, took two steps forward, and said in his ear: "Master, you are in charge, anyway, I can't see it, and I don't know if it will be green then." ”

Su Zhe's words had a pun meaning, of course the middle-aged man could hear it, and snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction: "I, Guo Tao, have helped people solve stones for so many years, and I have always been a child, since you can't trust me, you let others solve it." As he spoke, he dropped his tools and prepared to leave the cutter.

"Master, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I mean, my eyes are inconvenient, if it's green, you can help me look at it. I also count on these two stones to make me a wife, you know, it's not easy for a blind man to marry a wife. Su Zhe was a little apologetic, he had no intention of doubting Guo Tao's character, but sometimes he had to be wary in his heart.

In the past, he may not have had so many eyes on life, but after the incident of Ma Xiaoyue half a year ago, everything has changed.

"Lao Guo, this little brother is just talking, you think too much. Boss Shi knew Guo Tao's temper best, and he also came over to persuade him.

Guo Tao walked back to the cutter and moved the stone to the machine with the stone boss. Although he was dissatisfied with Su Zhe's words just now, Guo Tao became very serious when he got to work. After measuring the left and right, turn on the machine and cut directly from the middle.

Because this is the stone that Chen Xiang sold, no one knows the stone that Chen Xiang sold better than him. Less than one percent of the time you can sell it in a month can be tapped up. The circle of gambling stones is not big, Chen Xiang's stones are not of a high variety, one to ten, ten to hundred, few people are willing to buy stones with him. As a last resort, Chen Xiang had no choice but to carry two stones outside every day to rush his luck like a stall man.

Cut it down from the middle, and sure enough, as Guo Tao thought, gravel, soil chips, and sand particles fell all over the ground, and no jade appeared. This piece of Guo Tao relied on his years of calcite experience, and concluded that there would be no jadeite. Raised his head and said to Su Zhe: "Young man, I cut it from the middle, and there is no sign of green, and you can tell how to cut the rest." ”

Su Zhe touched and walked over and touched the two stones that had been cut, which were all dusty. Recalling what he saw before he bought something, Su Zhe knew that the jadeite was on the right side, so he pretended to think about it, and finally pointed to the right side and cut the piece and said, "Master, please cut this piece first, just cut it from the middle like just now." ”

Guo Tao did not hesitate and cut it all the way.

And again nothing. Guo Tao was ready to deal with another stone, so that he could finish work early. But at this time, the movement in his hand stopped, and he was surprised: "It's actually foggy!"

Chen Xiang was counting the stones in a nearby corner at this time, and there were two people next to him who were dressed very casually, but from the panache, they didn't look like ordinary people. Hearing Guo Tao's words, everyone walked over here.

Lao Guo wiped it with a grinding wheel. ”

There is no need for Chen Xiang to remind Guo Tao that he has already done that. He poured a handful of water on the place where the fog came out, and a hint of green came out of his head.

"It's really green!"

These words attracted everyone in the shed, and they all came over to see what was going on.

Chen Xiang looked at it most carefully, these two stones made him judge that he couldn't even get out of a little garbage, how could he not be nervous when they suddenly turned green.

"Lao Guo, you wipe it carefully, it seems to be a glass species. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the whole shed were in a commotion.
