Stone gambling is a term in the jewelry industry. It is a method of trading rough jadeite and is popular along the border between Yunnan and Myanmar.

Gambling in nature.

When jadeite is mined, it is wrapped in a layer of weathered skin.

There is no way to know the quality of the jadeite. Only after cutting can we know the quality of the jadeite.

The early name of Gambling Stone was not called Gambling Stone.

It's called a gambling house.

What a stone gambler must have: first, a great challenge ability, second, a spirit of adventure, and third, rich experience.

I have seen some people get rich overnight in the stone betting market, and of course I don’t rule out people losing everything overnight.

However, this casino is also very understanding of people's hearts and prepares melon seeds and peanuts on the side.

Li Tong grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walked slowly among them while eating the melon seeds.

He looked like a second-rate moviegoer.

No one would have thought that this young man could defeat Na Ruhu, one of the ten men.

Li Tong slowly looked at the sentence in front of him. There were more people in the side hall than in the main hall.

It seems that old gamblers like them also know that there is nothing interesting to play in this main hall.

Li Tong sneered and then strolled in.

The environment here is really good, very suitable for these old gamblers.

At this time, Li Tong heard a quarrel. When he looked back, he realized that it seemed that a group of gamblers were quarreling.

"I'm right! It was you who didn't listen to me and insisted on buying that gambling stone. I told you that there was absolutely no good value in that stone. But you were lucky enough to get it for 3 yuan!"

After hearing this, the other party was still quibbling.

"Then just tell me, you have to pay for it or not. At least I got a small piece of it."

"The lowest grade jade, this is worth a dime!"

"You boy!"

The two were talking and fighting, which was obviously a very common situation.

It's just that both of them are close to each other, and then they raise funds together to buy gambling stones. Whoever pays more will listen to whose idea it is.

Whoever comes out first will follow him honestly.

When the time comes, the emerald will appear.

The more you pay, the more you get.

Those who have less will get less points.

If one person is not half the difference, then it depends on who has the right.

But if anyone takes the lead, it’s someone’s fault.

Li Tong understood from the words of others that the two of them were buying the two gambling stones together.

As a result, it cost 3 for one piece and 3000 for another piece.

The price of gambling stones generally fluctuates greatly.

The difference between the two is huge.

If you insist on buying it.

Either he was deceived by others, or he insisted on buying it on his own.

Obviously, the two people in front of them had a quarrel because of this incident, and it was precisely because of this incident that they both lost money.

Gambling on stones is really a bit weird.

Some people are poor, some are rich, some are poor together, and some are rich together.

At this time, Li Tong walked aside and found that there were clearly marked price ranges on them.

Li Tong stood aside. Anyway, he was just here to have some fun.

Why not go and see what interesting things you can see in here. Then Li Tong randomly picked a stone that looked good. This time he really didn't use any abilities.

But I choose based on my feeling.

But people are not allowed to touch it with their hands.

Because the layer on top may be thin or thick, if it is worn away, there will be no point in making money.

"This is the gambling stone."

The waiter on the side quickly went up and took out the gambling stone, wearing gloves throughout the process and looking very professional.

"Sir, are you sure this is the gambling stone?"

Li Tong nodded when he heard this. Finally, after the waiter's repeated confirmation, the other party started to ask other questions.

"What kind of cutting method do you need for this gambling stone?"

Cutting method?

Li Tong was stunned for a moment. He had never considered this aspect at all.

Isn't this thing just cut off with a knife and it's done?

Seeing that the other party looked so unfamiliar, the waiter finally patiently explained.

"There are three ways to cut gambling stones."

"The first one is called wire cutting."

"Use horsetail and horsehair ropes as saw blades, continuously add sand and water, and pull the "saw blade" back and forth to cut the stone, and slowly the material can be split into two complete pieces."

"This cutting method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires a lot of manpower."

"This method has gradually disappeared, and few casinos are willing to take the trouble to contact such a gambling stone."

"Unless the price offered can reach an exciting level, and a large amount of manpower is needed to guarantee it."

"The second type is the slice cutting method. This is currently the most common jade cutting method in my country."

"It can be roughly divided into three categories: large cutting machines or medium-sized oil-immersed cutting machines are used to cut large pieces of jade raw material. The sawing kerf is wider and deeper, and the loss of raw materials is larger."

"Secondly, a medium-sized cutting machine is used to cut jade raw materials suitable for ornaments. The saw blade is thin and water-cooled, the saw kerf is small, and the loss of raw materials is also small."

"Finally, a small cutting machine is used to cut jadeite raw materials such as plaques, pendants, and toy pieces. The saw blade is as thin as paper, and there is basically no loss of raw materials. In addition, it is also often used for large glossy openings during the carving process. "

"In view of the gambling stone you chose, my personal suggestion is also that you choose the second category of the second method."

"A medium-sized cutting machine is used for cutting, but if you want to make it into a pendant, I think you can still use a small cutting machine."

After hearing these words, Li Tong couldn't help but nodded. Professional matters must be left to professionals.

At this time, the waiter began to introduce the last cutting method endlessly.

"The third method is called the weight cutting method. This is an ancient method, which uses a disk called a "weight" to rotate and rub back and forth on the jade, and then slowly grind away the skin. "

"The specific operation is to install a disk on a horizontal axis."

"Then the strap wrapped around the shaft is connected to the foot pedal. The jade craftsman alternately steps on the foot pedal, and the connected shaft drives the "weight" to rotate."

"At this time, water and emery and other sandy substances are continuously added to the disc, and the jade can be processed through friction."

“In this era, due to the use of electric equipment and improvements in technology, this method has better application results.”

Li Tong looked at the stone he chose. It should be as big as two palms.

But the thickness is a bit hard to describe.

What on earth can such a thing produce?
  Li Tong is not sure yet, but he is betting on stones.

The most important thing was the word gamble. Finally, he thought about it and asked the waiter a fatal question.

"Besides these methods, can I do it across the board?"

When he heard the words "cut across the board", Li Tong keenly noticed that there seemed to be a sudden silence around him.

Then a burst of hearty laughter broke out. (End of chapter)
