Chapter 020
Following Uncle Zhou's footsteps, Jia Sidao entered the back room. Ali in the lobby seemed to be thinking about the time that there shouldn't be any guests coming, so she followed Jia Sidao, wanting to see if the 2,000-yuan wool material could be cut out of jade, or just a piece of waste stone.
To Jia Sidao's expectations, the space in the back is not inferior to the lobby. Moreover, the gray-purple tables, chairs, bookshelfs, cabinets, etc. all make the room look so simple and elegant. Not to mention the pieces of porcelain that are specially placed, they give people a feeling of being so elegant and dignified. Just a series of saucers and teapots placed on the coffee table, Jia Sidao cannot call it an authentic name.
"Uncle Zhou, is it here?" Jia Sidao asked in surprise. The furnishings in the back do not look like they were used to cut stones, but rather like a place to entertain guests. There is a kind of elegant charm everywhere. Even a person like Jia Sidao who consciously has no elegant sentiment, after coming to such a room, could not help but have a deeper understanding and yearning for the word "style".
"Here?" Uncle Zhou turned his head and looked at Jia Sidao and said, "You think about it." As he said that, he did not stop, but instead walked around a wooden screen and walked forward. After a few steps, he came to another rather small room.
Jia Sidao now understood.
The room only accommodates two beds, which is basically the same size as the house rented by Jia Sidao. There are some strange-shaped stones piled up in the corner, oh, no, they should be wool. However, Jia Sidao glanced at it briefly and found that the wool here was a little different from the one placed in the lobby outside, and should not be jade wool.
There are many tools placed next to it, which are quite messy. There is even some dust on the ground that has not been cleaned.
"Tell me, how do you want to cut the wool?" Uncle Zhou said to Jia Sidao.
"What else is there to pay attention to when cutting wool materials?" Jia Sidao was puzzled.
"You, I really don't know how to say hello." Jia Sidao asked, as if even Ali, who was standing next to him, could not help but explain, "The texture of the jadeite raw stone is relatively hard, especially the precious wool materials. Generally, professional personnel are required to cut with professional tools. However, this part of your hand," Ali glanced at Uncle Zhou, "It's enough to ask a semi-professional person like my dad to cut it for you. Of course, you can also try it yourself."
"Do it yourself?" Jia Sidao was a little eager to try it out. However, this was his first gambling stone. If you say that you are not nervous in your heart, it would be fake. This thing is similar to buying a lottery. The only difference is that Jia Sidao is more confident in winning the prize. Even so, although Jia Sidao is quite calm on the surface, he is extremely nervous.
"I'd better forget it. Uncle Zhou, please trouble you." Jia Sidao said, holding the wool in both hands and handing it to Uncle Zhou.
"Put it on the ground." Uncle Zhou's voice was indescribable, "But since the wool is already yours, I will ask clearly. When cutting the stone, should I follow my opinion or your own requirements?"
This is how Uncle Zhou is so clever as a businessman.
Before the wool is cut, no one knows whether there is any jade in it. If he is determined to do something wrong when cutting, and if he cares about it, he will not be able to explain it clearly.
"Just do as you want." Jia Sidao felt that he knew nothing anyway, and he felt that he had used superpowers a little too much, and his head was a little swollen. This made Jia Sidao a little anxious, and he wanted to cut the wool immediately, take out the jade, and then go home and have a good sleep.
"Then you just stand by and wait." Uncle Zhou was not surprised by Jia Sidao's decision. If Jia Sidao really wanted to do it himself, it would only mean that Jia Sidao himself was not concerned about this piece of wool.
Perhaps it was because he saw Jia Sidao's nervousness, or because the wool was small, Yanran agreed with it. Uncle Zhou was careful and was ready to study it carefully first and then consider where to cut it. However, in Jia Sidao's opinion, although he was serious and responsible, it was a waste of too much time. Jia Sidao was really worried that he might be confused, so he stumbled on the ground and fell asleep.
On the contrary, Ali didn't have any impatient expression when she was waiting by the side.
What Jia Sidao didn't know was that cutting stones is actually a science. If you really need to study it carefully, Uncle Zhou's approach has been simplified now. Many people who bet on stones do not cut them directly after buying wool materials, but also need to rub the stones to reduce risks. Sometimes they will rub the price and can be transferred at a high price; sometimes the price will fall sharply after rubbing the stones.
However, a grafting rate is not considered a rise. Any gravy can only be clear after it is unbuttoned.
Uncle Zhou is not a person who has been immersed in the gambling stone industry for many years, and Jia Sidao's wool materials are really cheap, so there is no need to pay so much attention.
"Uncle Zhou, I think this is the case. I have something to do. As for this wool, why not cut it into half from the middle, and if there is, there is, there is nothing, and it is clear at a glance." Jia Sidao casually found a reason and said to Uncle Zhou.
"Are you really sure you want to cut it in the middle?" Uncle Zhou was a little curious about Jia Sidao's sudden change, "If there is good jade inside, it will be cut out after this knife."
It seems that only when facing the inferior goods or scraps, will you choose to cut them directly from the middle.
Otherwise, jade is not a watermelon, so how can you say you can cut it?
"Look, that's what I think. I don't know if there is so-called jade in this wool material. Even if there is one, it's probably not a valuable jade." Jia Sidao said, "So, I thought, it would be better to cut it open with one piece of cake and come more refreshingly."
"Okay." Uncle Zhou seemed to understand Jia Sidao's concerns and nodded in agreement.
This gambling stone is definitely world-class in the test of the heart. The so-called "one knife is poor and the other knife is rich" is exactly the case. Without a good heart, especially those who are young like Jia Sidao who participate in gambling stones for the first time, they will most likely not be able to adapt.
Jia Sidao was afraid that Uncle Zhou would cut the originally small jade into half with a knife, so he gestured on the wool material and let Uncle Zhou cut it on the horizontal middle line. In this way, the small piece of jade that was slightly off the position in the wool material could be seen completely from the cut surface.
Uncle Zhou didn't say much about Jia Sidao's suggestions. Anyway, this half-cut work really has no technical content.
As the sound of the grinding wheel stopped, a piece of wool suddenly became two pieces. The movement was clean and neat, the cut was flat, and smooth, which was enough to show Uncle Zhou's strength in knife skills.
Jia Sidao reached out and took half of the jadeite. It was not until he saw that green jadeite appeared on the cut surface. The heart hanging in his heart fell down.
