1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"For this piece of material..., I can offer 8,000 yuan now." Zhou Fengxia said with a wry smile.

"The crack is quite deep, and judging from the direction, it is basically all the way through. And there are a lot of streaks, so the things made from it are worthless."

"What is it? Rich people don't like it, and poor people can't afford it. Because such items are easy to cause gossip when worn out."

"The only remaining gamble is to see whether the crack is all the way through. Whether the streak spreads all the way..."

"In other words, the 8,000 yuan you offered is still a friendly price? Because it was bought from you, so I gave a little more?" Chen Tiezhu interrupted him.

Zhou Fengxia hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That's true. In fact, I really hope that everyone will cut the price, and the purchase price will definitely be higher than the market price."

"Because I will also sell finished products in the future, this thing is expected to rise every year, and I can also store more goods. Everyone comes for my face, I have to take care of it."

The people around nodded in unison, Mr. Zhou is a very considerate friend.

They are all doing business, and they can do this, whether it collapses or rises, everyone is willing.

"Well, Xiao Huang, I won't take advantage of you, let you reduce your losses, I'll take the 5,000 yuan, how about taking a gamble?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Get lost. Keep cutting."

Huang Wenxuan sprayed him.

Chen Tiezhu was not angry, but shook his head, "Why is your temper so bad? Gambling on stones is a gambling game, so you can't be ambitious. You must have a broad mind like me."

The people around him smiled.

This guy's mouth is really amazing.

He can blame the stone when he is angry with him. He still speaks so solemnly and confidently, how can he be so shameless?

The stone was fixed again, and everyone's mind turned back to the cutting of the stone.

This cut is not simple. I dare not say that one cut determines life or death, but it is almost the same.

The tall and thin man felt that it was very difficult to lift the knife after cutting, and his strength seemed to have been drained a lot.

Huang Wenxuan was naturally more nervous.

From 80,000 to 8,000, it was just a matter of that one cut. If this cut was cut again, the material would really be useless.

When it was lifted, he hurried to the front.

There is no need to water or wipe with a rag. Looking at the crack, he felt that his eyes were dark and his head was buzzing.

"Tsk tsk, poor kid, I am embarrassed to say it." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

"This thing is also exciting. The crack has reached the end. But it seems that the cracks have not been fully covered? But it is a bit uncertain, after all, the cut skin is not very big."

"There is still a certain gambling nature, but it is less gambling. Zhou'er, is this worth a thousand yuan? What if there are not so many cracks?"

"Brother Chen, this..., well, we usually don't accept such materials." Zhou Tiezhu hesitated for a while and said.

The meaning of the words is very clear. This thing is really worthless except for taking it home to collect it.

"Well, Huang, can I sell it for fifty? I will take it home to keep it as a pickle jar." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

Everyone shook their heads helplessly. This guy is still causing trouble even now.

"You can buy it if you want. Three thousand yuan. I'll leave it to you to ridicule me later."

What no one expected was that Huang Wenxuan actually agreed, but he just raised the price.

This matter is a bit difficult to say. If you say Chen Tiezhu bought it, he can indeed tell others in the future that Huang Wenxuan spent more than 40,000 yuan to buy it and it was cut down.

But now that it has been cut down, it seems a bit wrong to say that he bought it home for three thousand yuan just to ridicule others.

"Oh? You used the provocation method again." Chen Tiezhu laughed.

Many people shook their heads helplessly. How could Chen Tiezhu take on such a role? It must be the same as last time, letting Huang Wenxuan play by himself.

"Yes, it's the provocation method. Do you dare to play?" Huang Wenxuan said with a smile.

"What's there to be afraid of? Three thousand yuan is three thousand yuan."

After Chen Tiezhu finished speaking, he pulled his bag and took out three stacks of Great Unity from it.

This move confused everyone, but considering that he had cut and raised the price before, could there be other reasons for this material?

Not only did he think so, Huang Wenxuan also thought so.

In fact, it was because since he came into contact with Chen Tiezhu, he felt that Chen Tiezhu was too cunning.

"What's wrong? Don't dare to sell it again? Do you dare, dareI dare not, hehehe..."

Chen Tiezhu said in a frivolous way, just like teasing a child.

In fact, he was very nervous in his heart. This stone seemed to have some meaning.

"What is there to be afraid of? Sell it to you. Master Zhou and everyone will be witnesses." Huang Wenxuan said.

He really couldn't see that there was any gambling point in this stone. No matter what kind of crooked thoughts Chen Tiezhu had, he had no chance.

"Brother Chen, don't you think about it carefully?"

At this time, Lao Huang next to him spoke.

"Haha, there's nothing to consider. Three thousand yuan to buy a stone that used to be more than 40,000 yuan to store sauerkraut, and the sauerkraut must be delicious." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

After that, he put the money directly on the table next to him.

Huang Wenxuan was not polite either. He took it and put it in his bag.

Although there was no written agreement, the deal was considered to be concluded.

"Wait, wait, we still have to continue cutting. "

Seeing Zhou Fengxia's assistant was about to lift the stone down, Chen Tiezhu greeted him with a smile.

Huang Wenxuan's heart "snapped". Could this guy really know how to look at stones? He was not fooling around? Is there really something good in this stone?

"What? Really?" Zhou Fengxia was shocked.

"Yeah, it's real. I think this stone is still worth a try." Chen Tiezhu nodded with a smile.

"But this crack and streak are basically full, how can I cut it?" Zhou Fengxia said with a wry smile.

"Zhou'er, although I am not as good as you in gambling on stones, I am much more careful than you in observation." Chen Tiezhu walked to the front of the stone cutter, picked up the rough material, and held it with one hand.

"Everyone, look carefully, this crack seems to be a full-head crack. But if you look carefully at the direction of the crack, it is not the same, but staggered a lot. This is the crack I'm betting on. "

While saying this, he turned his hand.

No one thought about how strong he was now. All eyes were on the "cracks" on the two cuts.

Just as he said, the shapes of the cracks were completely different.

Could there really be a mystery to this crack?

But even if that was the case, couldn't the crack inside be bent?

He dared to spend three thousand dollars to gamble?
