Chapter 106 Second Young Master Cao
Shen Qi's rough stone is small, and the price tag is also low, so the cutter cut it along the side of the exposed white jade, and cut off a quarter of the top.

As a result, the cut surface was all stone, without a trace of jade color.

The cutter then cuts the other three sides and does the same.

Seeing this, your young master smiled and said: "Look, I'm not wrong, am I? Although there is still a final cut to be made, I estimate that the value of this rough stone will drop by at least half. Brother, believe me, it's better Don't cut it up, just take it and sell it to others, maybe you can sell it for more than 1000 taels."

Shen Qi shook his head, and said: "Anyway, it's a loss. There is no big difference between a loss of a few hundred taels and a loss of 2000 taels. It's better to cut a few more."

The cutter received the hint, and immediately cut another cut at the upper quarter of the tail of Shen Qi's rough stone according to his experience.

When the knife fell, a white spot the size of the rim of a wine glass appeared on the cut surface, and there seemed to be white mist inside, the nobleman and the cutter were both stunned.

Immediately, the young master cried out: "Lingyu! This is Lingyu!"

"what?!"

Originally, the steward and the old man were staring at the unraveling of the big rough stone of your young master, and your young master can stare at the unraveling of a low-priced rough stone with peace of mind. They have their own responsibilities, but they can't be so casual.

At this time, after hearing the voice of the noble young master, they all looked over immediately, and even the cutter over there stopped their cautious cutting movements.

After the seemingly very knowledgeable old man came over, he picked up the small piece of rough stone that was cut off by the fifth knife and looked at the cut surface. Seeing that there was indeed a white mist in the cut surface of the white jade, which was as big as the mouth of a wine glass, he said in surprise : "It's really white jade that contains pure attribute aura. Although the dense white color is not very strong, at least it can be regarded as a low-grade spiritual jade!"

The old man looked back at the original ordinary white jade cut face, pointed to the lower one-sixth of it, and said to the cutter: "You cut here, it is as I expected, this should be a double-material rough stone. Before cutting It’s just the ordinary white jade here, and there’s a small piece of low-grade spiritual jade hidden behind it.”

Qie Gong didn't rashly strike the knife, but looked at Shen Qi.

He thought it was just a rough stone worth one or two thousand, and he could cut it boldly, but now that he knew there was Lingyu in it, he didn't dare to cut it casually.

Shen Qi nodded and said: "Let's cut it according to what this old man said."

The cutter made another cut according to the old man's instructions, and sure enough, the ordinary white jade cut noodles shrank a lot, leaving only the size of a cup.Then, under the guidance of the old man, the cutter cut the remaining part of the rough stone a few times, and then gradually revealed a piece of white low-grade spiritual jade hidden behind it to everyone.

After unlocking it, what everyone saw was an egg-shaped white spiritual jade, but it was three inches long and two inches wide, much larger than an egg.

Seeing that Shen Qi's raw stone produced a low-grade spiritual jade, the nobleman not only didn't realize that he was slapped in the face, but showed obvious love for this low-grade spiritual jade. After looking around several times, he said directly to Shen Qi: "Brother Taiwan, how about I buy your Lingyu for 10 taels?"

10 taels? !

Shen Qi was surprised when he heard it.

Although he thought that this piece of Lingyu would be worth tens of thousands, he didn't expect that the price of this noble young man was 10 taels!

Could it be that my Lingyu is worth more than 10 taels?

Just when Shen Qi came up with the thought that a normal person would have, he heard the old man say: "Young master, although your piece of spiritual jade is in the shape of a natural chicken egg, it is a low-grade spiritual jade after all, so it is not considered a piece of jade." It’s so big that it can be sold for 10 taels, which is definitely a high price.”

The manager said: "Young master, this is the second son of Cao Shu and Cao from the Jiyin Cao Mansion. Their family has been in charge of Qingyangzong's clothes and quilts for 300 years. They can be regarded as first-class merchants in this Jiyin Mansion City. Cao Er Young master is famous for his pride, he is willing to buy you this piece of spirit jade, you definitely earned it."

Shen Qi had done so many transactions with Baibao Pavilion, and every time he came to listen to the shopkeeper Yuan Er's chat, he had heard something about Jiyincao Mansion.

Besides, he has the help of the earth's eye, so he doesn't value this piece of Lingyu so much. It is beyond his expectation that he can sell 10 taels, so he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's sell this piece of jade to Second Master Cao. Take the silver and try your luck next door."

As soon as Cao Shu heard that Shen Qi agreed, he immediately smiled, clapped his palms with a folding fan and said, "Brother, that's fine, that's how it should be, take advantage of today's good luck to try it out, maybe you can get even better Lingyu." Woolen cloth!"

Hearing this, the old man and the steward shook their heads secretly.

Can you bet on better Lingyu?Probably only Cao Shu would think so and say so.It was obviously the first time for this young man to gamble with stones, and it was considered good luck to come across a piece of low-grade spirit jade, but if he wanted to gamble with spirit jade without any experience, it would be unless he was really lucky.

But the two didn't talk much.

The steward even added fuel to the flames, "Second Master Cao is right, the next door today is full of raw stones of spirit jade, and it is an excellent opportunity to gain insight."

Cao Shu seemed impatient, and escaped with ten thousand taels of banknotes, while saying: "Don't talk too much about the matter, hurry up and help us complete the contract, so that I can go to the next door with this brother and say You may be able to gamble on one or two pieces of high-quality Lingyu with his help."

One or two pieces of high-quality Lingyu?
If Lingyu is so easy to bet on, why would we open the Qiyu Gambling Stone Workshop?
The steward smiled secretly in his heart, on the surface he quickly completed the deed in a flattering manner, then handed the Lingyu to Cao Shu and the 10 taels of silver note to Shen Qi.

Shen Qi knew that although he could use his earth's eyes to know the reality of the rough stone, he could not use it to sweep up the Gambling Stone Workshop, and he could not even come more.

For one thing, even the most skilled and experienced stone gamblers sometimes make eyeballs. If a newcomer wins too much, he will definitely arouse suspicion.Second, it is impossible for any one person to be lucky all the time, and there are always times of bad luck.

So, what he's going to do next is to be a lucky bet for the first time, win a lot of money, and then stop.

When you come to Jiyinfu City in the future, you can gamble twice, first lose more and win less, and then win more and lose less, so that you can temporarily use stone gambling as another source of income.

Thinking this way in his heart, Shen Qi followed Cao Shu to the courtyard on the left.

The courtyard here is much larger than the one on the right, and there are gazebos, rockeries, fish ponds, flowers, plants and strange trees inside, just like a small garden.However, there are not as many people inside as in the courtyard on the right. Basically, there are only a few people in each pavilion.

Moreover, in the courtyard on the left, there are more people like Cao Shu who don't wear masks. Obviously, they are all people with status and power, and they are not afraid of others making their own ideas.

There are quite a few acquaintances chatting with each other here, so Cao Shu and Shen Qi looked at each other and said: "Brother, look, this quick-cut noodle is emerald green, jade-colored, and blue-blue. , it is obviously a water-attribute spiritual jade, but judging from the cross-section, it does not contain much spiritual energy, so it can only be regarded as a low-grade one; look at this bright yellow piece..."

Cao Shu talked eloquently, probably in the past he asked others for advice on stone gambling, and it was a rare opportunity to "teach" others, and he enjoyed this refreshing feeling very much.

Shen Qi happened to be ignorant of stone gambling, so he listened with great interest, and was not in a hurry to use it immediately.

However, a discordant voice soon destroyed the increasingly friendly atmosphere between the two.

"Hey, isn't this Cao Er? From the look of you, you are planning to bring your apprentices together to give money to Qiyu Gambling Stone Workshop?"
