Jianbao life

Chapter 19

"This is not very good." Zhou Wenping said hesitantly.

The fifth child also rubbed his hands and said, "This is really embarrassing."

"Okay, it's settled like that, you must all come, otherwise you won't give me face."

Seeing that Chu Chen had said so, the two had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Then the three of them chatted about some anecdotes about Antique Street, such as who paid the tuition, who missed it, who was buried in a landmine, etc. All kinds of things, big and small, are happening every day in Antique Street. How many Hollywood blockbusters have you made?

After seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Chen bid farewell to the two of them, after all, he had to go to Cuiyuanzhai to do business later.

After leaving the antique stall, Chu Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Thinking back, he was still living a hawker career like Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu before.In just a few days, because of a piece of Tang Sancai, earth-shaking changes have taken place. The past few days can be described as a mixture of sorrow and joy, really unpredictable, and everything is unpredictable.

When Chu Chen came to Cuiyuanzhai, he saw many people gathered around a stall, picking something there. He thought, don't guess, it must be Zhao Guosheng's new rough stone. Then choose wool with better performance.

When the jadeite is mined, the surface is covered with a layer of weathered skin. There is no way to know the internal situation. Only by cutting the stone can we know whether there is any jadeite in it, and the quality of the jadeite is good or bad. At this time, the jadeite is also commonly known as jadeite. Wool.

In the past, the name of the stone gambler was not actually the stone gambler, but a gambling company. A stone gambler must have three conditions: great challenge ability, adventurous spirit, and rich experience. From these three points, it can be seen that the stone gambler stone difficulty.

As the saying goes, "It is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade." Even with the advanced technology now, there is no way to detect what is going on in the wool.People mainly infer the quality of the internal jadeite based on the surface characteristics of the rough jadeite.

This requires stone gamblers to have rich jadeite knowledge and experience, such as analyzing sample wool and understanding the origin of jadeite.And because the profit of wool is very high, it is inevitable that some people will use their brains on it, and cheating methods such as "sticking fake leather" emerge in endlessly, which also requires people to pay more attention.

However, since there is a word "gambling" in stone gambling, it means that no one is sure of winning. Even experienced experts will inevitably make mistakes, and there is a considerable element of luck in it.

Because of such uncertainty in betting on stones, it is not uncommon for people to get rich overnight or go bankrupt overnight in the betting stone market.

To sum up, "Stone Gambling" is actually an expert-level jade buying and selling behavior. Participating in "Stone Gambling" is not only a test of luck but also a test of eyesight, and it also requires professional knowledge reserves.

If he didn't have nearly four years of stone gambling career, he would be able to sense jade even if he tested his supernatural power for a while, Chu Chen would not dare to use it too often in stone gambling.

If a new stone gambler can gamble good jade several times, it may be luck. If it has been like this all the time, it will make people suspicious. Maybe someone will be caught as a guinea pig, or simply be caught. Helping him gamble with stones, thinking of the miserable situation, Chu Chen couldn't help shivering.

"Hey, Xiao Chen is here. How are you doing? What are you going to buy today?" Zhang Guosheng saw Chu Chen from afar and greeted him. After Chu Chen walked to the door, he pointed to the small pile of woolen materials on one side. , said:
"Today is a promotion. You can pick up four of the 100 yuan over there. After passing this village, there is no such place!"

"Hey, Brother Zhang, Aunt Zhang said yesterday that you asked me to rush through the door, but I never saw you bring a cup of tea." Chu Chen joked to Zhang Guosheng.

Zhang Guosheng has completely inherited Aunt Zhang's thick skin, and he was not embarrassed when he heard about it, and said, "Hey, I'm really busy today. Look, someone called me over there again, so you can see for yourself first, what do you need?" Just come to me, we are also old acquaintances, we will never let you suffer."

After speaking, he apologized to Chu Chen and went to greet others.

Basically every time at this time, Zhang Guosheng would always find some reason to evade, and Chu Chen was used to it, so he shook his head and walked towards the pile of wool that Zhang Guosheng just pointed to.

The situation of the newly imported wool here and the other side is very different. There is only one young man picking and choosing there, and this person is also known to Chu Chen, named Li Guodong.

Li Guodong is two years older than Chu Chen, and he looks quite energetic. He is a senior student in a university in the capital. He got into the stone gambling business a year later than Chu Chen. Like Chu Chen, he likes to buy things that are cheaper in stores. Stone, but his reason is different from Chu Chen's, it's all because of his lack of money.

The two are about the same age, both have the same hobby of gambling stones, and they are both newcomers, so it is easier to communicate, and they became friends within a short time.

Usually they have time to hang out together, and sometimes Li Guodong will invite him to the classmate party, and let Chu Chen learn about college life from them, which can be regarded as making up for some of his regrets that he did not go to college.After going back and forth, the two became friends.

Chu Chen greeted Li Guodong and said, "Brother Li, did you receive any goods today?"

Li Guodong pointed to the woolen material on the ground and said, "Look at this quality, how can there be any goods?"

Chu Chen lowered his head and took a rough look at the wool on the ground, and was speechless for a while!How can this be called wool?The wool material doesn't even have some basic features of emeralds, it's just some brick material, and it's useless to use as a stepping stone.

So Chu Chen said: "I said why it is so cheap today. I used to pay two yuan for 100 yuan when I was dealing with the accumulated goods, but today I can get four yuan. It's like this. I don't want to give it to me. From now on, let's call him Zhang." The cock got it."

Li Guodong nodded approvingly, and while continuing to pick and choose, he said: "That's good, it saves me money. Anyway, at this time before, the quality of the wool is not much better than this time, maybe so On the contrary, emeralds are blooming out of the stone."

Chu Chen looked at him contemptuously and said, "Let's make your spring and autumn dream come true. This kind of performance still wants to produce emeralds. I don't think there is a one in ten thousand chance."

"Hey, don't worry about a fraction of him, you can't say it's impossible, maybe it's my turn to be lucky today." Li Guodong said triumphantly.

"Well, I think you are stunned. With this luck, why not buy a lottery ticket? I wonder if you are short of money to make a girlfriend?"

Seeing his squeak, Chu Chen said, "No way, you really have a girlfriend? Could it be that the thousand-year-old iron tree will also bloom?"

"Fuck you, what a thousand-year-old iron tree, could it be that I can't find a girlfriend?" Li Guodong said angrily.

To say that Li Guodong's length is not bad, about 1.7 meters long, he looks like a literary and petty bourgeoisie, and he doesn't look bad. But he looks down on others, so that he is still a bachelor until now.

When Chu Chen heard that he had a girlfriend, he was also very curious, and said, "Hey, tell me, how does your girlfriend look like, and let me get to know him anytime."

Li Guodong said with some embarrassment: "We only confirmed the relationship yesterday. Besides, she has no face, let's wait for a while."

Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Brother Li, your spring is coming, but you won't have some wild thoughts because of this, right? Or does your girlfriend have petty bourgeois tendencies?"

"Don't talk nonsense, my girlfriend never asks about my family, and she is quite frugal, but her father is still a petty official in the capital department. I don't want to make some money, so I can be in the family, right?"

Li Guodong's family situation is not bad. His parents are both teachers of key high schools in the western provincial capital cities. The family has everything, but of course it is impossible to be rich.

So Chu Chen asked: "Then what are her parents' opinions? Are they putting pressure on you?"

Li Guodong waved his hand and said: "We just officially dated yesterday, and her parents don't know about it yet, but thinking about her family's situation, I have a headache. I think if our relationship is not bad, I'm going to work in the capital." , but you also know the situation of my family, and you almost want to buy a house in the capital."

"The key depends on the attitude of her parents. If her parents think you are satisfied, then everything will be smooth. On the contrary, I think it is quite difficult, but if you want to buy a house, you should buy it as soon as possible. Now the price is one day a day. So, if you don’t have enough money when the time comes, just ask me to borrow it, you’re welcome.”

After speaking, Chu Chen patted his chest.

Li Guodong said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely not be polite at that time, but I still need to ask my parents' opinions before that."

Chu Chen nodded, and then accompanied Li Guodong to pick wool.Originally, he wanted to go to the other side to choose wool, but now there are too many people gathered there, it is a bit crowded, and the hot weather makes him unbearable, so he plans to go after a while when there are fewer people.

The performance of the wool here is so poor that you can’t see any characteristics of jadeite wool at all, so Chu Chen didn’t even use a flashlight or anything, just picked at random, and if you think it’s pleasing to the eye, just get started and have a look, based on previous experience Verify it.But to be honest, this kind of brick material can't play the role of verification.

After picking a hundred pieces of wool, the ability of the left hand didn't respond at all, and Chu Chen didn't care. It's really strange that there is emerald in such a stone.

At this time, the newly arrived wool was already a little empty. Some people left after looking at the excitement for a while, and some people had already selected the wool they were satisfied with and were going to take it to the backyard to dissect stones. Seeing this, Chu Chen was ready to go Choose the wool over there. After all, those wools that perform well are more likely to contain emeralds.

Suddenly, a look of astonishment flashed on Chu Chen's face. Just before he left, he picked up another piece of wool. Unexpectedly, as soon as this piece of wool was in his hands, the ability in his left hand began to move around. At that moment, he was a little surprised. Overwhelmed.
