The crowd of onlookers lost interest when they saw the size of the stone, and several people left directly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Li didn't have any hope for this stone, and there was only a small beast in Yang Li's arms in the entire refining shop, staring at the stone in the solution, looking like he was afraid that the stone would disappear.
As the stone falls, a large number of bubbles appear in the solution, the stone begins to shrink layer by layer, and the water gradually becomes turbid, usually this process takes hundreds of breaths, and the longer the time, the less things remain.
After five breaths, the solution was still boiling, and a faint sour smell permeated the refining shop.
Ten breaths passed, the bubbles showed no sign of abating, the solution became more cloudy, and the stone was no longer visible.
Fifteen breaths passed, and a few more people shook their heads and planned to leave, looking for a new excitement to see.
"Look, it's going to stop!" shouted from the crowd, and the few people who had just walked away immediately rushed back and looked into the glass jar, although the solution in the jar was still turbid, the number of bubbles was much less, and the size began to become smaller, which was clearly a precursor to disappearing.
"Wow, such a short time......"
"It looks like this little brother is going to make ......"
The exclamations in the crowd attracted dozens of people to come over to watch, and suddenly the refinery shop, which was a little deserted just now, became lively.
The apprentice, who had been lying in a chair, also stood up, and came to the glass jar in surprise, his eyes wide open trying to see through the turbid solution.
Twenty breaths, the bubble has become the size of a sesame seed, the turbid solution began to slowly become clear, and a fist-sized black shadow can be vaguely seen sinking to the bottom of the jar.
The crowd chattered one after another, and more and more people gathered around. The inner door opened, and the owner of the refining shop also walked out, came to the glass jar and glanced inside, and commanded the apprentice: "Ring the golden bell!"
The apprentice hurriedly ran to the door of the shop, pulled a red rope hanging from the roof, and with the shaking of the rope, the sound of 'ding ding' spread throughout the street, whether it was the person who was picking up stones, or the people who were watching the excitement in other refining shops, after hearing the bell, he was stunned for a moment, and then ran towards this side, and even the lean man who sold it to Yang Lishi handed over the stall to his companion and squeezed to the door.
Yang Li looked at the door with some discomfort, except for the black pressed human head, he could no longer see the street scene outside.
The solution in the jar was finally completely clear, and the bubbles had long since disappeared, and a fist-sized piece of silver lay quietly at the bottom of the jar, and a dozen fingernail-sized ash particles were scattered around the silver bar.
"This little brother, thank you for bringing good luck to our store, we have a rule here, we don't charge any customer who brings good luck to the store, this is the fee you pay, and the original amount will be refunded to you!" The shopkeeper took five taels of silver from the apprentice and handed it to Yang Li with a smile on his face.
After Yang Li took the silver, the shopkeeper seemed to ask casually. "Little brother, forgive me, this is your first time gambling on stones, right?"
Yang Li nodded noncommittally.
"That's really congratulations, what a good start!" the shopkeeper congratulated with his fists, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Why don't you get the metal out of this little brother!" the shopkeeper whispered to the apprentice as he turned to give the apprentice a look that only the two of them could understand.
The apprentice nodded in understanding, took a metal mesh copy and fished out the silver pieces in the solution, carefully wiped them clean and sent them to Yang Li.
"Behold, how pure the color is......"
"I bet it's definitely a steel ......"
"This luck is really against the sky, fifty taels for such a large piece of steel ore, at least a hundred times!"
The crowd looked at the silver nuggets reflected in the light of the apprentice's hands and talked excitedly.
Yang Li took the steel mine and put it in his arms, stroking the little beast in his arms but had no intention of leaving.
The shopkeeper had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still asked with a smile on his face, "Is there anything else going on with the little brother?"
Yang Li smiled slightly, pointing to the glass jar that was blocked behind the shopkeeper. "Trouble the boss to fish out those few too. ”
The shopkeeper turned around and glanced at the jar as if he didn't know it, and then turned around with an angry face, and shouted at the apprentice: "What are you eating, why don't you clean it up, and don't you fish it out for others quickly." ”
The apprentice shrunk his neck and hurriedly ran over to fish out the dozen ash particles lying at the bottom of the can, wiped them clean and handed them to Yang Li.
The shopkeeper looked at the ash grains in Yang Li's hand with some pain, and asked with a final effort: "Little brother, in fact, this store also accepts all kinds of metals, if you exchange it for silver, you might as well sell it to us, and I promise to give you a fair price." ”
"Thank you boss for your kindness, but I didn't plan to sell it!" Yang Li walked out holding the ash grains, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and envious eyes focused on Yang Li.
"Hey, wait a minute!" At this time, a person popped out of the crowd to stop Yang Li, it was the lean man who sold him the stone. "Excuse me, little brother, can you tell us where you got this stone from?"
Yang Li looked at the man in front of him helplessly. "I bought it from your stall!"
"Thank you, next time you buy stones, you must come to me, I will give you a discount!" After the lean man thanked him, he proudly looked around the crowd and walked towards his stall.
A part of the crowd followed the lean man to his stall and began to grab stones as if they didn't want money.
The owner of the refining shop also instructed the apprentices to hang a red cloth on the doorframe, and said to the crowd such things as 'good luck for the day' to promote themselves.
When Yang Li walked out again, he ran into Dongfang Jun and Jiang Luoyan who were standing outside the crowd.
Dongfang Jun's eyes suddenly widened when he saw Yang Lishi, and he hurriedly ran over and glanced at the refining shop, and asked tentatively, "It wasn't because you rang the golden bell just now, right?"
"It's me!" Yang Li nodded with a smile, and took out the piece of steel ore from his arms and presented it to Dongfang Jun.
"Wow, wow......" Dongfang Jun exclaimed and took the steel mine, first checked it in his hand, and then turned it over and over again, and kept muttering in his mouth. "Rich, rich......"
Jiang Luoyan's eyes were white with disdain, and Dongfang Jun, who was about to saliva to flow out, looked at Yang Li happily. "Brother Yang, you are so powerful, you struck the golden bell for the first time when you gambled on the stone, and only those who won a hundred times in the bet are qualified to ring the golden bell. ”
Yang Li winked at Jiang Luoyan, looked down at the little beast in his arms, and said in a low voice: "I'm not powerful, it's powerful." ”
Jiang Luoyan looked at the little beast in surprise, but found that the little beast was holding Yang Li's right hand clenched into a fist and grabbing and biting, puzzled: "What's wrong with it?"
"Let's go, say on the way!" Yang Li shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the street with Jiang Luoyan and Dongfang Jun, who was biting the steel mine with his teeth.
"Brother, this steel ore is definitely pure enough, and it can be sold for five or six thousand ...... to say the least" The three of them disappeared into the stream, and Dongfang Jun's voice faintly came.
At the door of the refining shop, the shopkeeper looked at the direction where the three disappeared with a dejected face, and the apprentice came to the boss's side, glanced at the boss's gaze in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what are those gray grains?"
The boss sighed heavily. "If I'm not mistaken, it's some rare metal. ”
"Rare, rare metal......" The apprentice opened his mouth wide and did not speak for a long time.
