Chapter 158 Just Buying Some Jade
Chapter 158 Just Buying Some Jade
Lu Yu smiled: "Just take a look."

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and continued to work on the things in his hands.

Lu Yu walked to the counter on one side. On the counter was a large wooden basin filled with broken jade stones of different sizes and colors.

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Yu and shook his head secretly.Inside that wooden basin was full of crushed jade that he bought cheaply, and no one would look at it when it was placed there.

But Lu Yu stood there with great interest for a long time, picking something in the wooden basin, making loud noises.

The owner was a little curious, so he walked over quietly.He stretched his head to see that Lu Yu had already picked out a lot of jade in the wooden basin.Looking at the jade that Lu Yu picked out, the shopkeeper couldn't help being surprised.

Although the jade stones that Lu Yu picked out were not big and the shapes were not good-looking, they were all high-quality broken jade.Some surfaces are very dirty, and you can't see it without cleaning it. Therefore, it must be distinguished by experts.

The shop owner bought these jade stones from a farmer for 5 yuan a catty. He regretted the purchase and didn't sell any of them.He didn't check it carefully before, and didn't find that there were some fine jade in it.However, even though they are high-quality jade stones, they are all too small and broken, so they are of little value and almost useless.

In fact, what the shopkeeper was curious about was that Lu Yu had such a vision at such a young age to pick out all the good jade stones.He has been operating in the antique market for nearly ten years before he developed such a vision.

"Young man." The owner called softly.

Lu Yu turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these jade stones? I only want the ones I picked out!"

The shop owner is now interested in Lu Yu. Although the jades he selected are of high quality, they are too small and have little use value, so they are not worth a lot of money.

"Those are easy to talk about. If you want them, I can give them to you." The shopkeeper said.

Lu Yu said: "This is not necessary."

The shopkeeper pulled Lu Yu over and asked in a low voice, "Young man, are you an expert?"

Lu Yu chuckled lightly and said, "That's not it, I'm just here to buy some jade."

But the shopkeeper said in disbelief: "Young man, don't lie to me, you have come to the shop, why don't you tell the truth?"

"I'm really here to buy some jade!"

Seeing that Lu Yu was not telling the truth, the shop owner stood there thinking for a while, as if he had made a very important decision, pulled Lu Yu up, and walked towards the inner door of the shop.

Pulling Lu Yu to the inner room, the shopkeeper said mysteriously to Lu Yu, "Wait for me a while!"

The shopkeeper opened a box with a key and took out a locket.The size of the box is just enough for an adult to hold with both hands, and it is square.Opening the box, the shopkeeper carefully took out a piece of jade.

This piece of jade is pale yellow in color, translucent in the yellow, and there seems to be a hint of dark red in the bright.The jade stone is as big as the palm of your hand, oval in shape, sleek and natural, and looks extraordinary at first glance.

Lu Yu frowned, and blurted out involuntarily: "Qiong Topaz?!"

The shop owner's eyes lit up, he held the topaz carefully, and said with a smile: "Young man, let me tell you that you are an expert! Do you know about the topaz?"

Lu Yu smiled lightly. In fact, looking at antiques was taught by the old man.There are countless antiques and treasures in the old man's house.However, Lu Yu had only heard the old man mention this topaz, and this was the first time he saw it today.

Lu Yu walked to the window, stretched out his hand to close the curtains, and turned off the lights in the room.In an instant, the room darkened.The owner of the store was very strange. He didn't know what Lu Yu wanted to do, so he asked, "Young man, what do you mean?"

"Boss, take a look at the topaz in your hand." Lu Yu said.

The owner was very strange, but he did it anyway.He rubbed the topaz with his hands for a while, and the next moment, there was a burst of dark yellow light in the room, and it was actually the topaz in the owner's hand that was shining.

This piece of jade can actually shine! !
Lu Yu said again: "Actually, this is the real value of Qiong Topaz!"

The shopkeeper looked at the Qiong Topaz in his arms, and was in a daze for a while, he didn't even know that Qiong Topaz had this ability.

Lu Yu went on to say: "The higher the quality of the topaz, you can tell by the degree of its luminescence. The brighter the rubbing light, the higher the quality! Your piece is of medium quality! However, the topaz is rare, even if It is a medium quality and a rare treasure!"

The owner of the shop immediately looked at Lu Yu with admiration, and blurted out: "Young man, I really opened my eyes today! I have had this topaz for five years, and I don't even know it can still shine!"

Lu Yu turned on the lights in the room again, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, boss, I'm leaving. You wrap up the jade stones I picked out just now, and then calculate the money."

The shopkeeper stopped Lu Yu, and said mysteriously, "Young man, don't leave, let's talk!"

"Talk about what?"

The shopkeeper carefully put the topaz in the box again, and then said to Lu Yu: "Young man, with your vision and insight, you are definitely the leader in the antique world! You also know that the current antique market is true and false, everyone When shopping for things, you are looking for the real in the fake.”

"If you can see it, if you find a real one, you will make a profit. If you miss it, if you find a fake one, you will lose a lot of money. How many lovers of antiques are there, and the treasured antiques in that room are actually all fakes. And you don't know it yourself, how sad it is!"

After listening to the shopkeeper, Lu Yu asked, "What does the boss mean?"

"Young man, with your eyesight, if you want to find real things in the antique market, you must be right! How about our cooperation? I will introduce you to the seller, and you are responsible for looking. Buy it with money, and then we will split [-]-[-] of the money we earn!"

Lu Yu smiled lightly, and said suddenly: "Boss, I'm not short of money. If you really want to cooperate with me, you can also give me the topaz just now!"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously refused: "That's not okay!!"

"Forget it! Boss, pack the jade I just picked!"

"Hey... young man, we are discussing! Four or six, you six!"

"[-]-[-]! I... I am three!"

"Young man, I'll lose money at twenty-eighth!"

Seeing Lu Yu's refusal to agree, the owner was anxious for a while.Finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "Okay! I'll give you the topaz!"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Boss, I didn't force you!"

The shopkeeper discussed again: "Young man, take a look, this dome topaz, can you give me some..."

"Don't worry, boss, I will give you a reasonable price!" Lu Yu said, raising three fingers to the shopkeeper.

The owner also showed three fingers, and said uncertainly, "30?"

Lu Yu shook his head.

"Thirty... thirty thousand?!" The shopkeeper frowned with dissatisfaction.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "I'll give you 3000 million!!!"
