Chapter 228 Gambling on Stones in West Market
Tang Ziqian was personable and waved the folding fan in his hand, "Every trip is a very good experience!"
"See more and think more to make this trip worthwhile! Lanshan County is very different from the capital, so I came here to see it."
Liu Zhengyang shook the gem scimitar in his hand, "I just bought this. You may not be able to buy the same thing in the capital at double the price!"
Ji Heng also smiled. "I just bought a set of horn pens. The workmanship is very exquisite and it's much more cost-effective than buying them in the capital."
Tang Ziqian smiled and said, "I haven't decided what to buy yet! Sister Changhuan, we are not familiar with this place. Since we are all traveling together, why don't you take us around?"
When Li Changhuan saw this, he did not refuse. After all, these people were all guests at home.
"Please invite those three young masters. I know a few very good shops. Although the prices are a bit more expensive, they are far less expensive than those in the capital."
Li Changhuan took Tang Ziqian and others to visit other shops.
Especially jade is very cheap to buy here.
Go back and find a craftsman to polish it. Not only can you make it into the style you like, but you can also make the ingredients and give it as a gift.
There was a shop next to the jade stall, and many people gathered around it.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and it is noisy and quite lively.
Tang Ziqian was curious, "Sister Changhuan, what does this place do?"
Li Changhuan replied: "Betting on stones! Jade is usually inside the stone. Some people spend very little money to buy a piece of jade and open it in public."
"If there is jade in it, then you can sell it for twice as much value, or you can keep the jade."
"Of course, if there is no jade in it, you will lose money. Therefore, there is a saying that a knife makes you rich and a knife makes you poor."
The three people were very curious when they heard this, "Can we try it?"
Li Changhuan thought for a while and said, "You can try, but after all, there are a lot of uncertainties when you take a gamble."
"You must not be greedy. If you don't stop in time, many people will be ruined."
After hearing Li Changhuan's reminder, Tang Ziqian said quickly: "We all know that gambling is not good. The elders in the family have given repeated orders not to allow gambling."
"We come here just to have fun and have fun, and we won't get addicted."
"Oh, it's such a big stone. If there is jade in it, what's the point?"
Li Changhuan looked in the direction of Tang Ziqian's finger and saw a stone the size of a millstone.
"Actually, maybe it's just a useless stone."
Tang Ziqian took out five taels of silver and put it on the table, "Shopkeeper, I bought this stone."
The shopkeeper saw that it was the big stone on the outside, and it had been there for half a year.
In fact, it was just an ordinary stone. It was very round and he liked it, so he moved it back.
I bid five taels of silver, but I didn't expect that someone would really take advantage of me and buy it.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper came over with a smile and took the money from Tang Ziqian, "Sir, would you like to take these rough stones and open them yourself, or let the master of our shop open them for you?"
Tang Ziqian replied without hesitation: "Let your master drive it. How much will it cost?"
After all, we have to go shopping later. How tiring it is to carry a stone on your back!
Besides, he just wanted to try his luck. The main thing he wanted to do was to find a stone that was pleasing to the eye.
"Free!" the shopkeeper laughed, "but if there is jade in it, it will also make our craftsmen happy."
Tang Ziqian nodded, "Okay, this is reasonable. Let's go!"
The knives and saws used in the shop are extremely sharp.
Quickly cut from the outside to the inside.
When the knife went down, the white and tender jade meat was exposed inside, "Oh, there is jade, there is jade inside. If these are all so good, then they are a big piece of material!" Tang Ziqian was also very surprised, and he didn't expect to buy it casually. You can buy a stone with jade, "Uncle, help me cut it quickly. No matter how it looks inside, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. Please be careful and don't damage the jade inside."
When he heard that there was a reward of five taels of silver, the craftsman laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Don't worry, young master, I will dig out the biggest and best jade for you."
The shopkeeper was originally very proud, thinking that selling a stone for five taels of silver would make a lot of money.
But in the blink of an eye he was struck!
He didn't notice such a large piece of jade. He was simply blind.
When Liu Zhengyang and Ji Heng saw Tang Ziqian's surge, they also followed suit and bought two stones.
The stones they bought were bigger than Tang Ziqian's millstone, and each one cost ten taels of silver.
However, they are unlucky, these two are big rocks.
Liu Zhengyang and Ji Heng looked at Tang Ziqian with complicated eyes, looking at the piece of jade that Tang Ziqian bought.
Now it is half polished, as if the outer stone shell has been peeled off, and there is actually an irregular round jade inside.
It's just a little smaller than before.
"Master, can you sell this jade? I'll pay 300 taels of silver." A person watching the excitement couldn't help but ask.
Such a large jade material can be used to make ten pairs of bracelets, and can also be used to make many jade pendants and the like.
"Wang Mazi, what are you thinking about? You want to buy such top-quality jade material for 300 taels. Do you think everyone else is blind? I'll pay 500 taels."
When Wang Mazi heard what the strong man said, he immediately retorted, "I am a blind man, and if you offer 500 taels, you are also half-blind."
"I gave 1000 taels."
"I will pay you one thousand, three hundred taels of silver."
"I gave 2000 taels."
"..."
After a while, it soared to 5000 taels of silver. The quality of this piece of jade was really good.
It's oily, white and translucent, with no impurities at all.
Tang Ziqian grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and was never short of money.
Even if it is just to maintain the glamorous appearance of the house now, when encountering good things, what comes to mind is not how much they are worth, but what they think about.
"Everyone, I won't sell this thing. I have elders in my family and I'm going to give it to my family."
As soon as everyone saw Tang Ziqian's demeanor, they knew he was not an ordinary person.
Although we are strangers, there are many noble people coming and going in Xiguan, Lanshan County Town.Locals can also tell a good guy.
With such a big piece of jade, Tang Ziqian no longer wanted to go shopping, "Sister Chang Huan, Brother Liu, and Brother Ji, you go shopping first, and I will send the things back."
Li Changhuan nodded, "It is true that such a valuable thing has been sent home. It is inconvenient and unsafe to carry it."
Ji Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it anymore. I'll buy another piece."
Liu Zhengyang also thought about it and said, "Okay, just buy one piece. Regardless of whether there is jade or not, stop. Otherwise, you will be addicted to gambling."
Ji Heng nodded, "Yes, just try it once."
After that, the two of them spent another ten taels of silver, but what they bought was another stone.
Liu Zhengyang didn't buy it, "Let's go, I won't read it anymore, I feel uncomfortable."
Ji Heng took two steps and then came back, "I don't believe it. Can't we get a jade as big as a fingernail?" (End of Chapter)
"See more and think more to make this trip worthwhile! Lanshan County is very different from the capital, so I came here to see it."
Liu Zhengyang shook the gem scimitar in his hand, "I just bought this. You may not be able to buy the same thing in the capital at double the price!"
