Chapter 508: Betting on Stones
On weekends, it's especially lively here.
After walking in the market for about ten minutes, they came to a jade shop.
"Qiqi, take a look first, tell me what you like, and I'll go look at the rocks over there!"
Jian Qilin pointed not far away.
Everyone looked up and saw that the other side was crowded with people, and suddenly they lost any interest in that side.
"Uncle Jian, are they betting on stones?"
Zhang Xuan stood on tiptoes and looked over there.
I have only seen these on TV before, but never encountered them before.
Before Jian Qilin could answer, the clerk in the store said: "Yes! It's just stone blocking. Our boss just brought back a lot of good materials from country M. You can also try your luck.
Just ten minutes ago, someone just opened a piece of top-quality yellow jade, and it was bought by a boss for 10 million."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Xuan suddenly became interested.
The little guy and Tianxin looked at each other, always feeling that there was something fishy about this matter.
Although the two of them were young, the old magic stick and the old monk really told them about gambling on stones.
At this moment, the two of them felt that what the person just said was a trick.
"Let's go and have a look together."
Jian Qilin became more interested now. Seeing that several little guys were interested, he picked up Xiao Qiqi and headed towards the crowd over there. The few people behind him had no choice but to follow.
After squeezing into the crowd, I saw an oversized table filled with stones, some large and some small, and many people were picking stones inside.
Jian Qilin put the little guy down and said loudly: "Qiqi, you can choose some if you want. The prices are written on them. I'll go check out after a while."
"OK!"
The little guy nodded and turned to look at Xue Zhan who had squeezed in.
When someone came to his side, the little guy lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xiao Zhan, let Chi Yan come. He is a good at finding treasures."
Chi Yan, who was standing on Xue Zhan's shoulder, patted his chest with his little paws. After a voice message said, "No problem," he jumped on the table and started looking for it on the table.
The others were looking for it, and suddenly a furry guy appeared in front of them. They were so frightened that they all screamed, but when they saw that it was a child's pet, they didn't say anything.
In ten minutes, Chi Yan looked at the stones on the table and returned to Xue Zhan and the others.
"Many of the stones here are just stones. Occasionally, there are one or two stones with jade seeds, which are the worst kind. They are not worth the price at all."
Chi Yan transmitted what he saw to everyone.
The little guy pursed his lips after hearing this, "It's really a trick!"
Tianxin raised her chin and reminded in a low voice: "Qiqi, hurry up and tell me not to waste time, we will change to another one.
This antique market is so big, there must be a place like this, so don’t try your luck.”
"Okay!"
The little guy nodded, and just as he was about to go, Zhang Xuan said, "I'd better go! You guys go outside and wait for me."
After speaking, he walked towards Jian Qilin.
Xue Zhan held Tianxin with one hand and Xiao Qiqi with the other, and squeezed out from the crowd.
As soon as I came out, I saw the young man who had just been talking to me talking to a middle-aged man, and then stuffed a few bills into the middle-aged man's hand.
The middle-aged man took the banknote and walked into the crowd blocking the stone with a smile. Seeing that no one saw him, he quietly took out a fist-sized stone from his pocket, and then shouted carelessly: "Boss, I
Buy this piece and drive it immediately."
When Jian Qilin was brought over by Zhang Xuan, he happened to see this scene and immediately wanted to run back, but was pulled back one by one by Luo Qiqi and Tianxin.
"Let's go and see other stones."
Xiao Qiqi pointed to the store in front.
"But...."
Before he finished speaking, the person was already dragged away.
After they were farther away, Luo Qiqi and the others told Jian Qilin what they had just seen.
"Damn it! This is too stupid!"
Jian Qilin couldn't help but curse.
The little guy shrugged, "Isn't this normal? Without a game, how could there be so many people in his family! There wasn't even a good one among those rocks just now."
Jian Qilin's eyes lit up, "Qiqi, you don't have any magical eyes, can you see things inside?"
"Uncle, you watch too much TV!"
The little guy pointed at Chi Yan on Xue Zhan's shoulder, "I didn't see these things, it was Chi Yan who saw them. It's a treasure hunter rat."
"hey-hey!"
Jian Qilin smirked, stretched out his hand and twisted Chi Yan into his hand, "Chi Yan, I'll rely on you later and find a good uncle to treat you to a feast."
"I want to eat a lot of roast chicken!"
Chi Yan spoke unceremoniously.
"Sure! As long as you find good stuff, uncle will buy you as much as you want."
Jian Qilin agreed readily.
Dahua snorted unhappily, "What's so great about it? Isn't it just that you can look at a stone?"
The corner of Chi Yan's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart: It's really nothing, but you wouldn't be the same, right?
However, its current cultivation is not as strong as that of Dahua, but it does not dare to say it, lest it will be worse than a lonely tree.
"They're all great! They're all great! When the time comes, it will be up to Dahua to eat as much roasted chicken as he wants."
Jian Qilin immediately echoed.
He didn't want to offend Mr. Cat. He already knew it when Gu Mu had his head shaved last night.
"That's pretty much it!"
Dahua was now satisfied.
After walking on the street for a while, they saw another jade stall selling stones, but there was no one at this jade stall. The boss was sitting on a pony and taking a nap.
"Boss, how can you sell this stone?"
Jian Qilin deliberately made his voice louder.
The boss only half-opened his eyes and said indifferently, "There's a price tag on it. Just come over and pay after you've made your choice."
"Would you like to help cut the stone?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
They are all laymen. Even if they buy good materials and don't cut them properly, they are still wasting the materials.
"The crafting fee is five hundred!"
The boss closed his eyes and stretched out five fingers.
"No! It's so expensive!"
Zhang Xuan was shocked by the price, because the stones on his stall were all small stones, no more than twenty kilograms at most, and some were priced at only five hundred yuan.
"If it's too expensive, I'll do it myself. I'll charge fifty for the tools."
After saying this, the boss shut up and ignored them.
This was the first time Zhang Xuan had seen someone doing this kind of business, and he had the aura of Jiang Taigong fishing for those who wanted to take the bait.
Jian Qilin wanted to say something else, but Chi Yan had already arrived in front of a fist-sized stone, and said to them in surprise: "Come here, there is a good one here."
Several people walked over quickly. Jian Qilin picked up the black and blue stone and whispered: "You continue!"
"OK!"
Chi Yan began to shuttle among the rocks again, and it deliberately slowed down so that Tianxin and the others could follow it, lest anyone with any intention of finding out that there was something wrong with it would soon be discovered.
Chapter completed!
