Chapter 1232: Change
The young man blushed when Shangguan Xiu said it, and stammered: "I...... I'm just unlucky, and I just don't have the capital, if I had enough capital, I would have turned over a long time ago. ”
Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently, didn't say anything, looked at Hailey opposite, and asked, "Have you eaten enough?"
Seeing Hailey nodding, Shangguan Xiu put down a piece of silver, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.
The young man was going to finish all the meals, but when he saw that Shangguan Xiu and Hai Li were gone, he hurriedly stood up, touched his mouth indiscriminately, chased him out, and said urgently: "The gambling stone farm I said is really good, try your luck in the past, maybe you will make a fortune overnight." ”
Because of his military background, Shangguan Xiu never liked to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble, once he lost, what he lost was not money, but the lives of thousands of soldiers.
If you lose money, you may be able to win it back in the future, but if you die, how can you win it back?
However, Hailey was full of interest in gambling stones, walking beside Shangguan Xiu, seeing that he ignored the young man who was following behind, she secretly pulled Shangguan Xiu's sleeve and muttered in a low voice: "Ah...... Ah Cai, go and have a look, even if you don't gamble, just go and see the excitement!"
Shangguan Xiu looked at Hailey, who was full of anticipation, and finally compromised, looked back at the young man, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Under Li Zhizhong, I don't know the name of my brother Taizun?"
After pondering for a moment, Shangguan Xiu said softly: "Wangcai." ”
"Huh?" Hayley almost laughed out loud.
Shangguan Xiu continued: "Guan Wangcai. ”
The young man named Li Zhizhong stroked his palms and smiled, and exclaimed: "Brother Tai has a good name, the official is also prosperous, and the wealth is also prosperous, it is difficult for Brother Tai not to get rich......
"Are you a fortune teller?" Shangguan Xiu said a word, leaving Li Zhizhong speechless.
There are many gambling stone farms in Novi City, some of which are official and private, and some of them are opened in secret without seeing the light.
The official gambling stone farm, of course, has the best resources, and stipulates that the size of the rough stone sold by the private gambling stone farm shall not exceed two feet.
The underground gambling stone quarries, which are not visible, are not subject to official restrictions, and many of the rough stones inside are up to one meter high.
There are a lot of people in the underground gambling stone field, a large courtyard, surrounded by large and small rough stones, small rough stones are clearly priced, ranging from a few taels of silver to hundreds of taels of silver, and large rough stones are priceless, requiring buyers and sellers to negotiate directly.
Since entering the underground gambling stone field, Li Zhizhong's mouth has not been idle, and he has been talking endlessly about the skills of gambling stones.
Shangguan Xiu just listened casually, noncommittal, from beginning to end, he felt that Li Zhizhong was talking nonsense, but Hailey listened very seriously, and interjected from time to time to ask a few words.
(The most famous gambling stone in Chinese history is none other than He's Bi, the most famous gambling stone expert is Bian He, polishing a stubborn stone into He's Bi, which is worth a lot of money, and the Qin State was willing to take out fifteen cities in exchange for He's Bi, which shows its preciousness.) )
After the buyer buys the rough stone in the gambling stone field, he can move home to solve the stone himself, or he can solve the stone on the spot. Not long after Shangguan Xiu and Hailey came in, they heard cheers erupting from the side of the Jieshi Terrace.
Hailey hurriedly pulled Shangguan Xiu over, and it turned out that a middle-aged buyer had unraveled a piece of high-grade purple jade on the spot.
Everyone present and watching was salivating, and soon, someone made a bid on the spot, expressing their willingness to buy his purple jade for eight thousand taels of silver. Someone here just offered 8,000 taels, and someone over there offered 12,000 taels, and in the blink of an eye, the price exceeded 20,000 taels.
Even Hailey, who was born in a wealthy family, was speechless when she heard people's shouts, more than 20,000 taels of silver, just buy such a purple stone?
Shangguan Xiu looked at the purple jade that had just been solved, at least more than a foot long, oval-shaped, commendable, there was no impurities in the jade, the color was smooth, crystal clear, it was indeed a rare piece of beautiful jade.
He said: "Purple jade is uncommon, and in the Windy Country and Ningnan, it symbolizes wealth and longevity, and it is an extremely precious gift whether it is given to one's own elders or to the elders of other tribes. A piece of purple jade jade pendant, worth a thousand taels, if the material is good, and from the hands of a famous artist, it is not uncommon to sell to tens of thousands of taels, such a large piece of purple jade, if made into a finished product, a total of 100,000 taels are sold to the less. ”
Gurgle! Hayley swallowed and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. 100,000 taels?
Li Zhizhong couldn't help but look at Shangguan Xiu twice, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai is still an expert!"
"I'm not an expert, I only know a thing or two. "Shangguan Xiu often fights abroad, and the loot he has captured is countless, what is valuable and what is not valuable, he naturally knows it in his heart.
Feeling the tightness of her arm, she looked down and saw that Hailey's two small hands were tightly grasping his arm, and she whispered: "Money! Give me money quickly! I want to gamble too!"
Shangguan Xiu looked at Hailey angrily and funny, and reminded: "Don't look at people's eyes, the sentence "nine out of ten bets and nine losses" still makes sense." ”
As soon as his words fell, Li Zhizhong couldn't wait to say: "Brother Tai, since they are all here, let's not take a look, bet two to try your luck!"
Hearing this, Hailey grabbed Shangguan Xiu's arm tighter. Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly, he couldn't resist Hailey, he reached into his arms, took out a dozen silver tickets, took out a few from them, handed them to Hailey, and advised: "Just play with it." ”
grabbed the silver ticket handed by Shangguan Xiu, looked down and saw that there were more than a thousand taels, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, pulled Li Zhizhong's arm, and urged impatiently: "Hurry up, take me to choose!"
Seeing Hai Li hurriedly pull Li Zhizhong away and go to select the rough stone, Shangguan Xiu sighed helplessly. If she didn't teach this girl a lesson, she really thought that there would be a pie in the sky!
If it is so easy to gamble on beautiful jade, wouldn't the world be full of rich people with thousands of dollars? Won't beautiful jade become the price of cabbage?
Shangguan Xiu didn't follow Hailey to choose the rough stone, he was not very interested in this aspect, he was only interested in people.
There are quite a few cultivators in this underground gambling stone field, some of them should be the dart masters and retinues brought by the buyers, and the other part are probably all people from the gambling stone field.
The cultivators of the gambling stone field are not weak in cultivation, and their position is also very skillful, protecting all sides of the gambling stone field, sealing all the way out, who wants to snatch the original stone and jade here, it is basically impossible.
Shangguan Xiu lowered his eyes and sensed the strength of the spiritual pressure of the spiritual cultivators around him, Hai Li and Li Zhizhong had already finished selecting the original stone. She pouted her small mouth, her pink cheeks bulged, and Shangguan Xiu asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"The rough stone is too expensive, you gave me more than 1,000 taels of silver, I only bought three!"
"Oh, the three rough stones picked by my sister-in-law are not small, and the three rough stones of such a big size are also worth 1,200 taels of silver!"
Li Zhizhong came over with a wheelbarrow, on which were placed two one-foot-high rough stones, and one was more than two feet high.
He looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "This piece of rough stone more than two feet high, you can only buy it from the official family outside, does your sister-in-law know what the official family price? At least two thousand taels!"
"So I bought it?"
"Of course it's earned!" Li Zhizhong asked: "Brother Tai, are these three rough stones taken back to solve or solved on the spot?"
Shangguan Xiu glanced at it and said casually: "Let's solve it here!" He didn't think that there could be any beautiful jade in the three stones that Hailey chose, and he felt that he was quite stupid when he went back with these three big stones.
Li Zhizhong responded, happily pushed the wheelbarrow forward, and shouted loudly: "Let one go, let one go!
The onlookers in front of the stone solving platform avoided both sides, and Li Zhizhong pushed the wheelbarrow to the front of the stage and handed it to the personnel of the gambling stone field.
There are people in the gambling stone field who are in charge of calcing. The so-called calcite is to cut open the shell of the original stone to see whether it is a stone or jade, if it is the former, then the gambling stone will be broken, worthless, if it is the latter, it is a gamble.
The man in charge of calcing the stone is in his early forties, burly, with a big waist and a round waist, and the rough stone is more than a foot high, he has no difficulty in picking it up, and he can also weigh it with one hand.
The rare piece of purple jade just now was solved by him, and it was rare to be able to solve such a beautiful jade, and he is also on the rise now.
The burly man picked up the tool of calcing stone, and gently nailed it on the rough stone with a chisel, nailing down the outer skin of the rough stone layer by layer, but as the chisel nailed deeper and deeper, there was no green inside, and it was all white and gray soil.
The last rough stone was nailed in half, and looking at the fracture, there was no green light at all.
He shook his head and asked, "Do you want to continue to solve it?"
The teacher was unfavorable, Li Zhizhong seemed a little unwilling, and asked the burly man to break down the two halves of the original stone, and the result was the same, there was no jade in it at all.
Li Zhizhong looked at Shangguan Xiu and Hailey helplessly, forced a smile, and said, "Don't be discouraged, we still have two pieces!"
Hailey unconsciously grabbed Shangguan Xiu's hand tightly, and seeing this, the latter couldn't help laughing. I'm afraid Hayley wasn't so nervous when she went into battle, right?
As a result, the remaining two rough stones were dissolved, and like the first rough stone, there was not even a jade the size of a fingernail in it.
In this regard, no one in the onlookers laughed at it, because this is too common, in the casino, ten bets nine lose, in the gambling stone field, ten bets nine collapse, this is common sense.
Li Zhizhong came back dejectedly, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, how can such a big rough stone be broken? If you choose the one next to you at that time, maybe the bet will go up!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Hailey said to Shangguan Xiu: "Ah...... Ah Cai, give me a few more of your silver tickets, I must win the bet this time!"
Shangguan Xiu approached Hailey and whispered in her ear, "Enough is enough, 'madam'!" he deliberately accentuated the word madam.
"I'll borrow your head office!" Hayley's little face was full of disbelief. The previous person could gamble on purple jade worth 100,000 taels, how could he come to her and gamble on a worthless broken stone, she was not convinced!
Shangguan Xiu looked at Hailey's angry little face, shook his head helplessly, and took out the silver ticket from his arms. This time, Hayley grabbed it, looked down, and asked, "That's all there is?"
The remaining silver tickets are only two thousand taels at best. Hearing Hailey's questioning, Shangguan Xiu raised her eyebrows. He and Hailey didn't come out to play, and they could bring more than 3,000 taels of silver tickets.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was about to be angry, Hai Li didn't dare to say more, holding the silver ticket in one hand and Li Zhizhong's collar in the other, and strode away.
Shangguan Xiu knocked on his forehead, he didn't have to continue looking, he could guess what the result was. Seeing a stool not far away, he turned and walked over and sat down on the stool.
It didn't take long to see Hailey directing, Li Zhizhong and three young people pushing a small car, and a huge stone was erected on the car, which had to be at least one and a half meters high.
Shangguan Xiu couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it, this girl, did she think that the bigger the rough stone, the more jade could be opened?
He folded his legs, his slender fingers resting on his legs, tapping lazily and slowly.
As Shangguan Xiu expected, this giant rough stone, which was more than one meter high, also collapsed, and only a pile of stone slag was solved.
There were endless voices of regret around, and many people were secretly glad that they didn't buy this rough stone, otherwise their intestines would have to regret it.
Looking at the broken stones, Hailey's little face was blue and white for a while, and finally like a frosted eggplant, she drooped her head and walked over to Shangguan Xiu.
She had barely taken a few steps when two big men stopped her way, and they took Hayley's arm and walked towards the side door of the gambling grounds.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu frowned secretly, as soon as he got up, a middle-aged man walked up to him with two big men, and said with a smile: "Little brother, please come with us!" Mobile phone users please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
