Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 21
Gambling with stones is a business in which one is poor and one is rich, with sudden ups and downs.Among them, the stone in question is a small material in the jadeite raw material, that is, jadeite gravel.

There are two kinds of raw materials for jadeite - mountain material and baby material.The mountain material is mined directly from the mountain without skin, so it is not a gambling stone.Aberdeen is the rock containing emerald, which is broken under the action of crustal movement and weathering, brought down by the water flow, collided, and formed after years of erosion.Often there is raw or weathered hide, so you can't see what's inside.

Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a business of betting on stones.

However, with the current existing technology, it is still impossible to conveniently and effectively identify the quality of jadeite materials.So the stone gambling market continued.

As for the wool as the saying goes, it refers to unprocessed jadeite rough.

People who gamble on stones cut out jade or emerald and make money, that is gambling.If you cut out a pile of broken stones and lose all your money, that is a bad bet.

Jiang Ling knew this, so looking at the two guests at this moment, she couldn't help worrying about their 18 yuan.Unfortunately, in a blink of an eye, Jiang Ling found that the elderly guest was wearing an emerald ring - emerald green, crystal clear!
Jiang Ling quickly estimated the price based on the album he read at Zhang Fu's just this afternoon.In the end, it was concluded that this ring alone was worth at least five or six million yuan.So immediately, immediately, Jiang Ling put aside his worries and just watched the excitement.

*********
Old Wu and the round-faced guy helped the two guests.Whether to cut or rub, where to cut and how to cut, are all up to the guests themselves.Otherwise, if there is emerald in it, who can afford to cut it down by one centimeter?Unpredictable.For similar reasons, neither the spectators nor the boss who bought the raw materials could go up to help according to the rules.

The four people worked around the stone, and the older guest fixed the wool on the stone cutter with his own hands.Old Wu quickly helped to connect the power supply.The round-faced man came from the kitchen with a bucket of clean water, and put the ladle beside the stone cutter.

The older guest straightened up, looked at it again, then nodded, and pressed the switch with his own hands to operate the machine.Finally, with the soft sound of "shashasha", the first cut was made.

The two guests were cut from the small end.With this knife, only a corner less than an inch thick was cut off, about the size of half an egg.The cut stone surfaces on both sides have fine particles, but they are white.

The round-faced guy opened his mouth, as if he was about to sigh, but at the last moment, Old Wu waved him away.Old Wu not only chased away the buddy, but also retreated a few steps himself.

The two guests didn't seem to notice this section.Their faces are very ugly.Next, the young guest scooped up water, and at the gesture of the older guest, sprinkled some on the cut surface.Then the older guest, once again fixed the stone and manipulated the machine.Soon, the second knife also cut to the bottom.

Take off the stone flakes, it is still white.

The face of the young guest was as dark as the bottom of a pot.The older one was able to hold his breath, he took out the cigarette and put it back; he fetched water with his own hands, sprinkled it on the cut surface, washed away the dust, and carefully inspected the texture on it.

There were eleven people and one dog in the yard, and no one spoke.Zhang Fu couldn't help but lit a cigarette.

Jiang Ling exhaled lightly.When she looked at the stone before, it was just a stone; when she looked at it now, she found that there was a "white mist" inside.It's just that there is still a layer of things that have not been exposed, and it is not clear how much there is.However, since there is white mist, then this piece of wool is good.It's just that the emerald inside is hidden a little deeper.

It seems that the stone is no better than the lake water. The lake water is transparent, but the stone is thicker.

Knowing the result, Jiang Ling became more calm.After this relaxation, I realized that I was nervous just now.

At this moment, Jiang Ling came back to her senses and couldn't help shaking her head to herself: Now that she has the ability to promote the growth and mutation of plants, she actually already has a good way to make money.Even if the mutation is not easy to take out, it is very easy to grow some precious flowers and trees and sell them for a small fortune.

So, in today's scene, why are you still nervous?
Jiang Ling glanced at the spectators in front, then at Zhang Fu and Zhao Yonggang beside her, and secretly rolled her eyes—why is she nervous, Jiang Ling is just infected by these people!

Zhang Fu noticed the noise, turned his head to look at Jiang Ling, and was secretly surprised to see her calm expression.

At this time, the third knife cut.

*********
When the third cut was made, the young guest's face was flushed red, and his hands were clenched tightly; when a quarter of the cut was made, the young guest turned his face away, then got up and turned his back away, not daring to look again.But the older guest didn't stop, he just said: "Don't dare to admit it? Why don't you have the guts to come with me!"

Because his voice was not loud, the machine was beeping, and the nearest person was two meters away, so no one could hear him clearly.

——Except for Jiang Ling!Uh, and the black back...

The young guest was taught a lesson, took a deep breath, and looked back.

After the knife was cut and just opened, a spectator immediately exclaimed: "It's out!" In an instant, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly relaxed, and it became beaming, and those who were watching and waiting all started talking and stepped forward. enjoy to the full.One of the spectators planned to go out and ask his friends to come and watch.

Old Wu naturally didn't stop him.But the older guest was not happy: "It's almost done, it's not over yet - how many people are crowded in this yard?" The spectator then gave up his mind.

Zhang Fu explained to Jiang Ling: "The stone should be quiet. There are too many people around to look at it. We can watch here because old Master Zheng has a good temper. Besides, this stone is not big. You don't want to look at it." See?"

18 is not that big.Jiang Ling was a little speechless; she responded, and went up to look at it—it must be an ice species, right?sun green.Green with yellow, the bottom water is very good.

Boss Zhou and Boss Wei were arguing next to each other, one said it was boxwood green, and the other said it was light sun green.In fact, only one side is cut at this moment, how can we judge the color of the whole material?They were also suffocated just now.

The young guest had already recovered, and the one who came to see her was a girl in her twenties, a little proud and a little frivolous: "Miss, do you understand this too?"

Jiang Ling didn't like his face, and he didn't like his lack of shape between gains and losses. He neither understood nor understood at the moment, and said firmly: "Since it's out, it must be a big rise." question.

That didn't really answer anything, but it was a good sign.Generally, people who do business, even if they don't believe in ghosts and gods, they still have to respect them.Not to mention stone gambling?I will definitely not refute the good words of others, even if I feel that the speaker is a layman.

So Master Zheng heard the words, looked up at Jiang Ling, and nodded at Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling nodded back, and retreated to the original place calmly - it was indeed a surge.Because at this moment, Jiang Ling could already see the size of the "white mist".It was about the same size as Boss Zhou's bodyguard's fist, flat in shape.

It seems that the same stone, whether there is "white mist" aura, the situation is not the same.

*********
After leaving the green, we can't relax in the subsequent throwing.Otherwise, if you accidentally hurt the material, there is really no place to cry.So Master Zheng held the flashlight, pondered more carefully, and moved more slowly.

Jiang Ling checked the time, it was a quarter past five.It takes more than ten minutes to go home by car. According to Master Zheng's speed, I'm afraid it's too late today to witness the scene where this piece of jadeite raw material turns into bright material.In addition, there is one more thing waiting for Jiang Ling when she gets home: how to explain to her parents the extra money from Cardi?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling suddenly had a thought, and asked Zhang Fu: "Mr. Zhang, are there any small stones from Boss Wu's place?"

Zhang Fu smiled: "Why, do you want to try it too? Yes, there are hundreds of yuan." He looked at the distance from Old Wu, and said in a low voice: "That's the leftovers that were picked up and sold to the pedestrian street. Guests." Then he called the round-faced guy: "Xiao Yang, come here!"

Jiang Ling smiled slightly, nodded to Zhang Fu, and followed Xiao Yang into the shop.

Because Master Zheng's business was not small, Lao Wu didn't want to continue to greet the small business, and closed the shutter door towards the street.Going out the door is the pedestrian street.The pedestrian street also belongs to the Temple of the City God, but on this street, there are mostly street stalls.The price is different from the area where Zhang Fu's shop is located; it takes several minutes to walk around from Zhang Fu's shop.

Xiao Yang opened the drawer of the table by the wall, found a flashlight for Jiang Ling, and waved his hand: "The area under the wall inside, the big one is [-], and the small one is [-]. Boss Zhang brought you here, all [-]." Alright. I can’t decide what’s outside.” After speaking, he looked into the yard: “Then you pick it slowly, I’ll go and see it first?”

Jiang Ling suddenly understood, this young man threw his hot heart on the cold stone of Master Zheng: "Okay, just go and see."

Xiao Yang was happy, and slipped back into the yard with a "chuck".And Jiang Ling walked towards those [-] or [-] stones, secretly praying that he could find a piece of "white mist" close to the surface - not too many, just one piece!

There are many stones.Fortunately, Jiang Ling was not Master Zheng, so he didn't need to ponder over the stone carefully.Taking advantage of no one, Jiang Ling didn't need to shine the flashlight, and scanned the past one by one.

However, the stones were placed in a mess, and some of them were stacked together and no one cared, and the upper ones blocked the lower ones.Jiang Ling had to take them away.As a result, when he got the second 30 yuan, Jiang Ling found that there was a small cloud of white mist in the piece he grabbed. "Baiwu" is as big as two quail eggs, with slightly curved corners.

Jiang Ling stared at the gray long stone in his hand and said nothing—could it be that touching it with his own hands would also help to display his supernatural powers, so that he could see more clearly?So Jiang Ling picked up a few pieces at hand and tried again, but after all, the probability was small, and he didn't find any more.

Now that he had found a piece, Jiang Ling ignored it and got up to go out.But when she turned around and came out, she saw the second piece at a glance.

The second piece was even worse in appearance, it was dark and shaped... like a piece of dog shit.There is also an obvious crack on the top.Lying among the newly exposed stones, I embrace a long group of "white mist", which is about the size of a mahjong tile.

Jiang Ling didn't intend to find a second piece; but since he saw it, he couldn't bear to let it go.So, Jiang Ling grabbed the third piece at random - to cover people's eyes and ears!
