Chapter 22: Gambling Stones
"Jade, you mean there's jade in this?" the rich boy didn't believe it, and looked at the stone again in confusion.
"Yes, although the skin of this stone is relatively thick, the skin color is gray and yellow, and there are fewer cracks. But this thing is produced in small quantities, so I'm so precious that I'm going to die. An Ran pointed to the stone in his hand and explained it to the person opposite him one by one.
Brother Gongzi really became interested, "This, seeing is believing!" An Ran smiled, the reason why she picked the people who came out of the gambling house was to catch them a little, and they loved to gamble. "Of course you can, but if I cut this stone, wouldn't it... ”
"In this way, I will buy this stone for 500 taels, and then cut it, what does the little brother think?" said Brother Gongzi, who took out a silver ticket of 500 taels from his arms and handed it to An Ran.
An Ran happily took the silver ticket and stuffed it into his arms, and then put one hand on the shoulder of Brother Gongzi, with a good expression of the two brothers, "Since this is the case, it can be regarded as our fate." Hello, my name is Dong Da, how about making a friend?"
"Okay, in the next Dongfang Yu. ”
"Hey, but if the jade cut out is more than that, I will lose money. An Ran interrupted Dongfang Yu, who was introducing himself, with a sad and regretful look. Dongfang Yu looked at An Ran who was in the eyes of Qian with a smile, and patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, if it's more than this price, I'll make it up to you, how about it?"
In the distance, the wind looked at his master, "Master, it seems that the princess has also studied this gambling stone." Just?"
"Do you doubt it too?" Sima Jin opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it twice, "She has lived here since she was a child, and it is impossible for anyone to teach her this, the wind, let the people in the mansion prepare for the wedding, and give the wind to the general's mansion." Hmph, I want to see if the old general of Baili will protect his shortcomings this time?!"
"Master, what are you?" Feng was a little puzzled. "Since I can't figure out the details, I'll just put it around and watch. Closing the folding fan, "Let's go, let's see." ”
An Ran looked like a profiteer, and then found a shop selling jade with Dongfang Yu and began to cut jade. Che Yu is a girl, she doesn't look very old, but her skills are very old.
She raised the knife in her hand, and cut it little by little next to the shell, and soon she saw that it was green. Then the girl who cut the jade was even more careful, and the sideburns on both sides of her cheeks fell down, and she was even more gentle and lovely, "This shouldn't be wrong, although I cut a lot of wool, but I rarely see this, it should be good to wipe the gang." Mogang has a small output. ”
An Ran looked at the green in his eyes, and the big stone in his heart also fell to the ground. She once saw people gambling on TV and later learned a lot of knowledge in the book, and it seems that today is finally coming in handy. The jadeite rough cut out contains very few impurities, and it is a high-green variety.
"How about it, Dongfang Gongzi, what I said is right, my family's heirloom, but it's more than these 500 taels. An Ran held his head high and stretched out his hand, ready to ask for money. Dongfang Gongzi didn't feel funny, "You, okay, here is 1,000 taels, is it enough?"
I flipped the silver ticket in my hand, put it under the tip of my nose and smelled it, full of fragrant money. An Ran also knew that although this was jadeite, it was still a rough stone, which had not been processed and was not so valuable, so Dongfang Yu gave it to himself.
"Thank you, next time, we will cooperate happily again!" An Ran quickly put the money into his arms, looked at the crowd around the door to watch the excitement, the money was not exposed, An Ran quickly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped out.
