The Return of the Immortal of the City

Chapter 73 Stonecutting, Game [-]
Chapter 89 Stonecutting, the first round (the second update, please recommend, collect)
"Whether there is trouble, we will know later!"

Gu Bei waved his hand casually, "I didn't bring any money, go ahead and buy this piece of wool!"

Seeing Gu Bei's expression of indifference, even a non-serious attitude of playing, Zhao Wenman felt angry in her heart, and her little face was full of anger.

"Do you understand stones? Isn't it important to choose a stone by looking at its texture, texture, or even knocking, listening to the sound, and then slowly judging?"

Although Zhao Wenman is not proficient, she also heard from her grandfather Zhao Fangling about some experience of betting on stones, "You decided to buy this ugly stone so hastily?"

This stone was only the size of three fists, and it was dark and covered with a layer of dust. It had obviously been left here for a long time, and no one cared about it.

How could it be possible to cut out something good!

"Gu Bei, why don't you choose more carefully?" Yao Shilan also persuaded from the side.

But Gu Bei had already picked up another granite-colored stone and casually threw it to Yao Shilan, "I want this one too."

The movements were very casual, without the slightest seriousness.

Seeing the two women anxious and annoyed for a while.

On the other side, Zhang Qiankun stood in front of a stone the size of a millstone, first knocked off a small piece with a small hammer, pushed away the stone debris with two fingers, and tasted the taste with his tongue.

After that, stretching out two fingers, Zhang Qiankun tapped lightly, listening to the sound of the stone with a serious look.

He has his own set of unique stone selection skills, taste, change the sound, observe the grain, and pay attention to the origin of the stone.

Zhang Qiankun can figure out which pits and wells those stones come from, and can more clearly identify which kind of stone is most likely to cut out good things.

Comparing Zhang Qiankun's method of selecting stones with Gu Bei's, the difference between the two immediately became apparent.

"Bring this piece of wool over there!"

After careful deliberation, Zhang Qiankun selected this piece of wool the size of a millstone.

"Brother Qiankun, you must teach that kid a hard lesson!"

Zhang Tao and his group followed Zhang Qiankun all the time until Zhang Qiankun chose a stone before daring to speak out, for fear of disturbing Zhang Qiankun.

"There are skills in choosing wool, you guys should learn it!" Zhang Qiankun showed satisfaction, and he also guided a few little guys along the way.

Zhang Tao looked like he was being taught, and listened carefully.

Zhang Qiankun turned around and saw the black stone that Zhao Wenman was holding in his hand, he couldn't help showing a touch of contempt on his face.

"Hahaha, that kid actually chose an old antique that has been in the store for several years. It's not dark, haha."

Zhang Tao and the others also saw the stone selected by Gu Bei, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Maybe he succeeded in picking up the leak!" A young man obviously said something ironic on purpose, and even he himself laughed unscrupulously.

A skinny old man in his 60s had already set up the stone cutter, and the two sides came with their own wool, surrounded by many people.

Everyone was very optimistic about the stone the size of a millstone that Zhang Qiankun had chosen.

The piece of black rock that Gu Bei chose was only more than 600 yuan, and the price of the piece Zhang Qiankun chose was a full [-] yuan, which was many times higher than Gu Bei's.

"Master Pei, please cut it carefully!" Zhang Qiankun said like a gentleman.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, this old man will cut it carefully!" Master Pei replied respectfully.

Stone cutting is a technical job. Only by choosing where to cut the knife can it be possible to preserve the jade in the wool material to the greatest extent so that it will not be damaged.

Master Pei carefully cut it with a single knife. It took a full 10 minutes to cut a third of it.

After peeling off the stone skin and cutting in, Master Pei became more careful and moved more slowly.

After another half an hour, the wool the size of a millstone was only the size of two fists. Everyone was nervous and stared at it without blinking.

"It's sure to be able to cut something good!" Zhang Tao clenched his fists and was very nervous.

Although Zhang Qiankun looked calm, his eyes never left the stone, and he was obviously very concerned.

When Master Pei peeled off a small piece of stone skin with a knife, a light yellow color suddenly appeared inside.

Everyone was overjoyed: "Look, it's out, it's out!"

"Sure enough, a good thing was cut out. Judging by the color, it should be Huang Longyu's intention!"

"Mr. Zhang is really amazing. This piece of Yellow Dragon Jade is at least as big as a fist, and the price has been more than ten times higher!"

……

A group of knowledgeable guys began to praise.

Seeing the pale yellow, Zhang Qiankun finally showed a smile on his indifferent face.

Zhang Tao and the others laughed from ear to ear.

As Master Pei gradually peeled off the stone skin, the bright yellow that was exposed became more dazzling.

Someone immediately exclaimed: "The grade of this Huanglongyu..."

"I'm afraid it's the best!"

"This... the size of a fist, top-quality Huanglongyu, this piece is worth at least two or three million yuan."

"No, no, at least a handful of prices up..."

……

When a whole piece is cut out, under the light, the fist-sized Huanglongyu is even more dazzling, which makes people like it.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang, for cutting out such a piece of top-quality Huanglong jade." Master Pei held the jade in both hands, treating it like a treasure.

"Thank you, Master Pei!"

Zhang Qiankun took out two thick stacks of small red fish, at least [-] yuan, and stuffed them directly to Master Pei, "This is your hard work."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang!"

Master Pei was also very happy to be able to cut out such a precious thing, and of course the happiest thing was being able to get so many tips.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhang Qiankun smiled from ear to ear in the face of all the compliments.

"How did you cut out such a good Huanglongyu? No, no, I must have lost the first round." Holding a black stone in both hands, Zhao Wenman's face was disappointed.

I can't wait to throw this stone on Gu Bei casually, and blame him for not being serious about choosing the stone.

"Student Gu Bei, it's your turn!"

Zhang Tao looked at Gu Bei with a wicked smile on his face, the contempt in his eyes was undisguised.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and cut it, so that we can open our eyes and see what gems can be cut from this dark stone, which is more precious than the top-quality Huanglongyu! Hahaha"

The onlookers looked at Gu Bei with sympathy.

Everyone believed that winning or losing the first round was a foregone conclusion.

Gu Bei nodded, and signaled Zhao Wenman to pass the wool over with a blank expression.

When Master Pei saw the wool fabric that Zhao Wenman handed over, his face showed sympathy.Judging from his many years of stone cutting experience, it is estimated that nothing can be cut out of this kind of stone.

When cutting the knife, Master Pei was also a little absent-minded; but since it was the customer's choice, he still started peeling carefully, which is a respect for the customer.

"Don't be so careful at first, three centimeters and two inches!"

Gu Bei said calmly.
