Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 59

Li Hong shook his head slightly, and said, "Lu Cheng, I didn't expect you to gamble so much! If you lose the bet, will you cry?" There was a little sarcasm in his tone.

Although she has little contact with the jade industry, she also knows the truth of ten bets and nine losers. As the saying goes, it is better to sell well than to buy. There are too few real winners in the stone betting business.

She felt a little abrupt when she said that, so she quickly changed the subject: "How do you deal with it? Do you want to cut it here?"

Lu Cheng said, "It needs to be cut open. It's not easy to take it home."

Although he bought jade processing machines, they are all small household equipment and cannot cut such a large stone.

Li Hong said: "Don't move it by yourself! The stone is too heavy, you need someone to help you. Be careful! If you hurt your waist and you can't compete tomorrow, it's not good."

However, in a blink of an eye, Lu Cheng easily lifted the stone with both hands, as easy as holding a cantaloupe.

Li Hong was very surprised: "Unexpectedly, you don't have many muscles on your body, and your strength is indeed not small. Do you practice long-distance running? Or do you practice weightlifting? Hurry up and put it down!"

Just imagine those marathon runners, which one is not tall and thin?
Lu Cheng's figure is neither fat nor thin, which is an exception among long-distance runners.This is because he doesn't practice much. If he runs a marathon every day, he will definitely be much thinner than he is now!
He can still break the national record with less training, that's because he has stepped into the fourth level of the tenth level of martial arts, the first three levels of skin, flesh, and tendons have been trained well, and the fourth level of bone refining has not yet been completed.

His muscle strength is six to seven times that of others, and his tendon strength is more than ten times that of others. The load-bearing capacity of each muscle fiber is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, how can he lift a [-]-kilogram copper ball?
Lu Cheng smiled slightly, transferred the stone to his right hand, and raised it with one hand.

This time, Li Hong was really dumbfounded!
She suspected that it was not seventy kilograms, but only seven kilograms. Otherwise, how could it be lifted with one hand?

Lu Cheng quickly changed hands and went out with the stone in his arms. After walking not far, he saw a jade cutting shop with a row of cutting machines inside.

He went straight in and asked the other party to help him cut.

The master who was in charge of the cutting did some research and suggested that he cut it down the middle first, and then slice it layer by layer if there is jade.

Lu Cheng agreed, because the jade is big enough, no matter how you cut it, you have to cut it open to see the internal structure clearly.

He put the jade into the cutting machine and cut it slowly, then went shopping with Li Hong.

There are several similar stone gambling shops, but Lu Cheng didn't buy anything.One is because of the scarcity of good materials, and the other is that Li Hong is following, so it is enough to show off a little, he doesn't want to shock the world too much.The third reason is that he doesn't have much funds in his hands. After all, he just bought a villa, and it will cost money to decorate it.

After walking for an hour or so, he bought a [-]kg head covering and two rough stones the size of a fist.He put the three stones in his backpack, not going to cut them here.

When I returned to the jade cutting shop, the 70-kilogram stone had already been cut.

The moment the cutting machine was turned on, there was a large circle of people around, and many people probed their brains, wanting to see the final result.

Lu Cheng pried open the jade, and saw two emerald green bands thicker than his thumbs!Between the two ribbons is ice jadeite with white background and floating green.

There were cheers from all around: "It's skyrocketing! Congratulations to the boss, you've made a fortune!"

"I haven't seen such a bright ribbon for a long time! If you polish the surface of the ring, I don't know how much it can be polished."

"What ring surface are you grinding? This is the perfect bracelet material! Floating ice flowers, half emerald green, such a pure background, the color is so bright, so beautiful!"

"According to the previous tradition, firecrackers should be set off! It's a pity that Guangzhou currently bans fireworks."

"Boss, are these two pieces of jadeite for sale?"

Lu Cheng said: "Not for sale. I'm going to hire someone to process it."

Li Hong's eyes widened, feeling unbelievable: "It's so easy to get rich?"

Lu Cheng bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect that either! I can't stop luck when it comes."

Li Hong said: "Such a good jade material, what are you going to do with it?"

Lu Cheng said, "I need to find a good jade processing shop."

The people next to him introduced one after another, saying where there are master sculptors and which one has the most reliable craftsmanship.The master who cut jade also recommended one to him.

The shop is called "Linlang Pavilion", and it is located on the left side of the Hualin Jade Building. It is said to have a history of nearly a hundred years.

So, Lu Cheng creaked and went to "Linlang Pavilion" with two pieces of jade between his hands.

The owner of Linlang Pavilion is surnamed Wang, and his grandparents and grandchildren have been masters of jade carving for three generations, and he employs several experienced masters.

Lu Cheng put two stones on the counter, and attracted an old master who was about fifty years old, and two young people.

The old master looked at the jade and said, "Put the jade in the shop, and I'll cut the jade for you. After all the jade is cut out, I will make a detailed evaluation to see whether it is worth making a bracelet or a ring." You can rest assured that there are videos of the slicing process, and you will not be greedy for your materials."

So Lu Cheng put down the jade. Naturally, a receipt was inevitable for such a precious jade.

After finishing this work, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening when I came out of Linlang Pavilion.

The two found a Cantonese restaurant, ordered the menu, and started chatting.

Seeing Lu Cheng's betting on jade skyrocketed, Li Hong felt eager in his heart, and the smile on his face grew, and asked, "Is this your first time betting on stones?"

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "The second time."

"It rose sharply the second time? Could it be that you have some tricks?"

"No trick."

"Based on luck alone, you dare to spend millions of bets? I don't believe it."

Lu Cheng said half-truthfully, "My dad is an archaeologist and often plays with ancient jades. I touched them a lot when I was young, and I have a special feeling."

Li Hong smiled and said, "So, you still have a trick?"

"It's just a hazy feeling, which can be understood but cannot be expressed in words."

"That's amazing! Since you have this skill, can you still insist on running a marathon?"

"Life is movement."

"Not bad, you are so young, you have a healthy outlook on life."

"Award."

Li Hong is a sports agent, a similar occupation, and an actor agent.There are too many unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, and the sports industry is a little better, but there are also various problems.She is not familiar with Lu Cheng, and through today's contact, she feels that he is a bit weird, but overall he is not bad.

She looked around and asked in a low voice, "Lu Cheng, when you signed the contract last time, you said you could finish the marathon in 50 hour and [-] minutes. Is this true?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "That's right."

"What are your plans for tomorrow? What strategy are you going to adopt?"

"It depends on the situation and adjusts randomly."

"Can you win the championship?"

"Do your best."

"I found out that you were behind in the half-run in the first two races, what's the matter?"

"It was done on purpose."

"How did you conflict with Hu Qikun?"

"For a small matter. Hu Qikun bumped into me with his height, and was slightly touched by me. He suffered a slight injury and failed to participate in the Spring City Marathon. Therefore, he hated me. Sister Li, which school did you graduate from? ?”

"Quancheng University of Science and Technology College of Arts and Law."

"Is Miss Li married?"

"My son is two years old."

"I thought you just graduated."

"Been working for years. Hey, time flies."
