The ultimate all-around soldier

Chapter 48
At noon, the sky was very gloomy. When they set off, the thunder was rolling, and it was already the rhythm of rain.

Originally, Qu Ruyan planned to call Qin Baobao, but was stopped by Qi Ji.

Just because Qi Ji knew clearly, Qu Xiao was targeting himself this time, but he couldn't understand what he wanted in detail.

Could it be that Qu Qiubai couldn't bear it because I did so many things at school today?

It is possible!
The soldiers came to cover the water and soil, and Qi Ji accompanied Qu Ruyan to Qu Xiao's side.

In the courtyard facing the street of Antique Street, there are a group of ruffian guys at the gate, and when they called on the way, Qu Xiao was already waiting at the gate.

"Yanyan, you guys are waiting too long for me, come on, please come inside."

This can be said to be passionate.

In particular, Qu Ruyan has never seen her brother treat her like this since she was very young, and she feels very uncomfortable, just laughing awkwardly.

Qi Ji didn't care about those things, he just hooked up with Qu Xiao when he came up.

Pretending to be intimate, who wouldn't?
Then, led by Qu Xiao, Qi Ji and Qu Ruyan went directly into the yard.

Although it's not as small as old man Qu's old house, it's not too small, with front and back yards and a side room.

Listening to Qu Xiao's introduction, this is also the property of their Qu family, but it is still under the name of Mr. Qu, and there are some criticisms in his words.

Along the way, Qu Xiao began to fool around: "The last time I saw brother Qi Ji, I felt that I hit it off. This is not it. I just brought back a batch of old wood and stones from other places today. When I was happy, I thought of asking you to come and have a sit."

"Brother Xiao is missing my sister, so I'll drop by."

Hearing Qu Xiao talking nonsense, Qi Ji didn't want Qu Ruyan to feel uncomfortable.

Qu Xiao quickly nodded: "Oh yes, I haven't been with my little sister for a long time since I left the old yard. Come here, please, dinner is not here yet, let's take a look at the treasures I bought, if I like it, brother, you just choose two pieces, and I will ask someone to cut it for you to see your luck."

"haha okay."

Qi Ji had never touched stone betting and wood betting, so he was a little curious, so he followed Qu Xiao to the courtyard of the side house.

Here, there is a pile of old logs on the ground, some of which are crumpled and cracked, and they look similar to firewood.

In addition, dozens of stones of different sizes are laid on the ground in a corner, and it is impossible to see whether it is good or bad.

"Come on, Yanyan, Brother Qiji, each of you choose a piece of wood and stone, it's considered a gift from my brother today."

The performance was so generous, Qu Xiao pulled Qu Ruyan's sleeve and walked to the edge of the log.

This made Qu Ruyan even more uncomfortable...

Qi Ji didn't say a word, just followed.

However, he murmured in his heart, what kind of tricks is this Qu Xiao trying to play?Please eat as a gift, there is no problem at all.

In this case, let's play first.

Over there, Qu Xiao was explaining to Qu Ruyan: "Gambling is just a game of excitement. Those who come to gamble, one knife poor and one knife rich, are playing excitement. For example, if the branches of Hainan huanghuali are cut down, the heart of the tree will be destroyed. There are almost no flaws, and the wood grain is very clear. Tens of thousands or 10 yuan may turn into millions. However, now there are fewer and fewer good woods. When many old rosewood trees are sawn open, their hearts are rotten. I can't buy big pieces, I can only make handicrafts, so I can't sell them at a good price. Come on, little sister, try your luck..."

"Brother, I don't understand these things, so forget it."

Qu Ruyan was completely absent-minded.

But Qi Ji came over, and casually picked up a small branch from the ground: "If you don't understand, we can come here casually. Anyway, Brother Xiao gave it away for free. If you cut it out and rot, then it's just for fun. Cut it out." Yes, even if Brother Xiao gave you the start-up capital, right? Come on, just this one, let Brother Xiao ask someone to take a look."

"Brother Qiji, you don't have to be so polite, that piece of material is a little poor, change it to a better one."

"It's just for fun anyway, why pick such a big one?"

Sniffing his nose slightly, Qiji grinned, then turned around, picked another unremarkable piece, and handed it directly to Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao smiled, didn't show any more politeness, and directly asked someone to come and cut.

But it doesn't matter, the texture is fine and tight, and there are scars left by ants.

"Damn, so lucky?"

"No matter how many times I have gambled, I have never seen such a good material, and now I paid two yuan!"

Immediately, people who came to bet on wood surrounded him, and they were very surprised.

Even Qu Xiao was stunned, glanced at Qi Ji and smiled dryly: "Brother, you have a sharp eye."

"Hehe, actually I was fooled, but I chose these two pieces because I felt that the trend of their branches was very similar to the gap, and that they seemed to be one in the past, so I chose them."

Qi Ji explained with a smile.

This is also called Meng?

The gap between the two pieces of wood is not new, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see that they are one. It can be judged by just looking at it, and the vision is very powerful.

Even Qu Ruyan shone brightly when she looked at Qiji, and she looked more and more fond of it.

In fact, Qi Ji just smelled it and felt that these two pieces of woody fragrance are the purest!

"Hey, it's a pity that these two are just branches, and they can be made into beads. Um... Brother Xiao, I'll trouble you, ask someone to make some bracelets, and get some for each of Ru Yan and Bao Bao, and the rest is up to you. It just depends on the price, and then invest the money in Yanyan.”

He is also generous.

Others just curled their lips, and got hundreds of thousands empty-handed, and it was loaded.

Qu Xiao didn't care about the little money, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

"Then I go to see the stone?"

This time Qi Ji became more active.

Qu Xiao twitched his face, after all, it was a rough emerald brought from Myanmar, if it turned out to be a good one, the cost would be much more expensive than wood.

But after thinking about it, after so many years of operation, he has only produced water species, and they are all small, and most of them will not lose money, so he doesn't care.

So, Qu Xiao led Qi Ji and Qu Ruyan to the stone.

The others were also curious and followed.

This time, Qi Ji was not so casual, but squatted down to weigh each piece and then tapped to listen to the sound.

That's right, since it's free, Qu Xiao must be bled.

Although he has never identified stones, he has read a lot of books and knows how to appreciate them very well.

That's easy!

Weight, texture, sound, including smell to judge the living environment of the stone below.

After looking at them one by one, they finally settled on a very large one!
This one is as thick as a person's arms, and the height is about one and a half meters, but part of it has been peeled, and the texture inside can be seen to be very ordinary when the window is opened.

"I'd better choose the big one."

After stopping, he pointed and looked at Qu Xiao.

The slightly nervous look slowed down, Qu Xiao smiled: "Don't look at it as big, the texture of other windows is much better than this one, brother Qiji, you are too polite."

"Haha, you should be polite!"

Qi Ji also smiled.

Qu Xiao was very active this time, and immediately called the craftsman over.
