Chapter 91 Good luck takes the lead
In the narrow, dim and gray jade shop, Song Qingwan picked and chose casually, and the last five pieces she chose were all scraps.

Boss Lu sneered speechlessly, "Little girl, are you here to gamble? If you don't have money, don't try to learn how to play. If I charge you a high price, people will definitely say I'm not honest, but if I don't charge you, the cost of opening the jade will be more than this price."

Song Qingwan was also afraid that Boss Lu would cry in the end, so she said to Xiuniang, "Go pick a big one." You can't let the boss lose too much, right? You always leave a way out.

"Well, I won't be polite." Xiuniang stepped forward, rubbing her hands. She no longer had the mood to dissuade him. Everyone wanted to try their luck. Isn't the fun all about excitement?

"This piece! This piece can definitely produce jade. It looks good in quality and is much better than other rough materials." Xiuniang calculated with her fingers and selected a large stone. She wished she could squeeze the stone to produce jade herself, just like peeling a peanut shell.

Boss Lu was finally satisfied. "Okay, this piece is really good material, five hundred taels, and the scraps will be fifty."

"What the hell? You want five hundred taels for a piece of stone that you don't even know if it contains jade?! Why don't you just go and rob it?" Xiuniang was instantly awakened, then looked at Song Qingwan guiltily and shouted very loudly.

"Ha! This is called gambling on stones. If you can't afford it, go somewhere else. This is my price." Boss Lu did not give in at all.

"I bought it. Five hundred and fifty taels." Song Qingwan gave the money very happily.

"Girl, how about I not buy my piece?" She was afraid of being beaten up when she returned home if she continued like this.

"No problem." Song Qingwan calmly paid the bill. "Go ahead. If Boss Lu is too busy, I can do it."

Boss Lu was surprised. Was she an expert? But he had to be responsible for his customers. "You can open the small items. I'll take care of the big ones." He couldn't let her ruin the good stuff.

Song Qingwan shrugged, picked up the jade and followed Boss Lu to the door.

Generally, gambling stone shops will have a table at the door, which is specially used for jade cutting. This is to ensure fairness and to prevent merchants from being greedy and taking away good jade.

Secondly, in order to attract customers, if this store sells a lot of good jade, there will definitely be a lot of customers coming.

So no matter who produces good jade, not only colleagues in the same industry but also onlookers who often hang out nearby will know about it. This is why Song Qingwan asked the little beggar to lead the way after she observed the clues.

As soon as they walked to the jade opening platform, people came to watch and said, "Hurry, hurry, old Lu is opening jade again."

For a moment, people who were nearby came running over. It was obvious that Boss Lu was very accurate in opening jade, and it was definitely a big event.

I just don’t know whether the little girl today is a lucky person or an unlucky person?
Boss Lu moved with a serious expression. Whenever he faced jade, he was particularly focused and serious, as if opening jade was a very sacred thing.

Song Qingwan was standing next to him, holding a chisel and hammering around casually. It seemed that no one took her seriously, and all the attention was focused on Boss Lu.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Song Qingwan found a piece of jade. "It's purple. How much is it worth, boss?" Song Qingwan handed the jade to Boss Lu beside her for an appraisal.

As soon as these words came out, there were sounds of people inhaling gasps all around.

"Amethyst!" Song Qingwan saw a piece of amethyst as big as a fist in her hand. With that thickness, it would be no problem to carve a pair of bracelets.

Boss Lu was dumbfounded, "You, this?!" What luck!
This piece of scrap material was of course cut out from a big rock. The raw material it is made of is of very poor quality, and it looks like there is no jade in it at first glance. But this bastard is so good at pretending, and its tattered body has taken away the essence of the big material!

Boss Lu was furious, but he could do nothing about it. Who could have let the girl be so lucky? "This piece of purple jade is top-quality ice jade. I'll give you five thousand taels. I wonder if the girl will sell it?"

Purple jade is rare and most loved by young girls. This piece of jade can at least be made into a pair of bracelets and two strings of beads, worth tens of thousands of taels.

"Let's talk about it later, Mr. Lu, please continue." Song Qingwan was not in a hurry to keep it a secret for now. As long as good jade was produced, other merchants would come here soon.

She continued to open the second piece. Boss Lu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. Could the remaining four pieces be top-grade stuff like amethyst?

Coupled with that big guy, Boss Lu suddenly felt very uneasy.

Song Qingwan started hammering again, and this time, she found a green light on the edge, and soon she dug out another piece of imperial green jade.

"Oh my god! This is top-notch stuff, priceless!"

Boss Lu was anxious and excited, "It's a little small, worth six thousand taels." Because it can only be made into a bracelet and a string of beads.

Song Qingwan opened the third piece, which was yellow jade; the fourth piece was blood jade, and the fifth piece was pink jade. Boss Lu was already numb, "Sell it to me, girl, I'll pay the highest price!"

"Hey, how can Mr. Lu keep such a good thing for himself? He should give some to us. Miss, sell it to me for six thousand taels of purple jade."

"Seven thousand taels."

"Eight thousand taels."

Boss Lu gnashed his teeth, thinking, are these people here to cause trouble? But he couldn't offer a higher price because he would lose money.

Song Qingwan was not in a hurry, "Let's start with the big stuff."

Boss Lu quickly agreed. If so many good jades could be produced from small pieces, then there must be good quality jades from large pieces. It was worth it for him to purchase these stones at a high price.

Boss Lu is very professional in jade carving and his speed is naturally fast, but what disappointed him in the end was that the large piece of jade only turned out to be ordinary green-white jade with not very good water quality.

It was so depressing! It felt like a master was slapped in the face by a little girl.

Boss Lu wiped his face and said, "Miss, are you going to sell the jade? I'll take 30,000 taels of silver!"

But as soon as he made the offer, other bosses followed suit.

"Thirty-one thousand taels."

"Thirty-two thousand taels."

Song Qingwan raised the corner of her mouth in satisfaction. She rubbed the topaz in her hands. It was soft and smooth to the touch, which showed that it was definitely a good piece of jade. Today's harvest was unexpectedly good.

"I won't sell this piece of topaz, but I'll sell the other five pieces for thirty thousand taels. Do you think that's a deal, Boss Lu?" Seeing the topaz in her hand, Song Qingwan felt that it was particularly suitable for Li Minghe at first sight.

I owe him a lot, so I can use this as a gift to make up for it, especially the debt of love.

"Hey girl, I'll give you thirty-one thousand taels, sell it to me."

"I offer thirty-five thousand taels!" A new wave of competition has begun.

After all, jade has always been of the greatest collectible value and is valuable at all times. It is the preference of the powerful and wealthy. Whether it is to be passed down as a family heirloom, as a dowry or as a betrothal gift, it is the first choice, so it is very popular.

If these jades are handled properly, they can be sold for 50,000 taels of silver, or even more.

However, Song Qingwan ignored others and said, "I only want 30,000 taels. Will Mr. Lu accept it?" Of course, there is also a piece of topaz.

After all, the raw material was bought from Boss Lu’s shop, and Song Qingwan believed that this old man was her lucky star.

"I'll take it! Of course I'll take it! I'll sign the contract for thirty thousand taels right away." Boss Lu was very happy. He carefully put away the five pieces of jade and hurried into the house.

Song Qingwan did not follow him in, but took out a tael of silver and gave it to the little beggar, "Thank you."

The little beggar was also very excited, "I should thank you, young lady." He wanted to run away as soon as he got the silver, as if he had something urgent to do.

But then he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but whispered, "Girl, be careful of thieves."

Then, he ran away in shame and disappeared.

Song Qingwan said softly, "You are quite conscientious."

"That's right." Xiuniang sighed. She seemed to have won by following her master.
