After a small interlude, Yan Shou began to carefully select the rough stones.
The rough stones costing more than a thousand yuan were large and required many details to observe, so Yan Shouyi spent five minutes selecting them before finally settling on one.
"Boss, I want this rough stone!"
But just when he called the stall owner, someone actually spotted the rough stone at the same time as him!
When he looked up, he saw a little old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit standing next to him.
The little old man wears a Chinese tunic suit. This man looks so perfect!
Yan Shou could tell at a glance that this little old man was extraordinary, but the main reason was not that the little old man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, but the sparkle in his eyes.
Ordinary old people always have drooped eyebrows and dull eyes, but the little old man is very energetic. This is not just something that wealth can do.
"I'm sorry, it was this little brother who saw the stone first."
Although the old man also asked for the rough stone, he was still one step behind Yan Shouyi. The stall owner had just taken advantage of Yan Shouyi, so he also moved towards Yan Shouyi.
Before the little old man could say anything, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly appeared from behind him and handed the stall owner five thousand yuan.
She pouted and said: "What's the use of looking at it? If you don't pay, it doesn't count. We want this stone. Whoever takes it from me will worry about it!"
The little girl spoke with an old Yanjing accent and was dressed very fashionably. She looked like a tourist.
Lao Jin couldn't tolerate the little girl the most, so he immediately snatched the five thousand yuan from the stall owner and stuffed it back into the little girl's hand: "Are the little kids these days so unruly? First come, first served, you know?"
What did your elders teach you?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What did the elders in my family teach me? It's not your turn to point fingers!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, the stall owner just pretended to be deaf and dumb. There were people arguing in his stall every day, but for him, as long as he made money, it had nothing to do with who bought the stone.
"Okay, Huansi, I'm away from home and don't want to quarrel with others. Since this little brother likes it, let's give him the rough stone."
At this time, the little old man spoke in a kind tone.
But Lao Jin felt uncomfortable hearing it: "I don't like hearing what you say. This rough stone was originally our first choice. What does it mean to let it go?"
"Okay, okay, let's each take a step back." Yan Shouyi comforted him and asked Lao Jin to pay for the rough stone.
Since the little girl with little Huansi got five thousand, Lao Jin also got five thousand, and he couldn't lose in terms of momentum.
After receiving the five thousand yuan, the stall owner immediately showed a flattering smile: "Do you want to open now? Open the window or cross-cut?"
"Cut it horizontally," Yan Shouyi said without hesitation, "but you must cut it according to what I said."
"Of course!"
Yan Shouyi took a pen from the stall owner and began to draw lines on the rough stone, and told the stall owner to cut according to this line, neither too much nor too little.
There were quite a few customers with such requests, so the stall owner didn't say much and poured water on the rough stones to prepare to start cutting.
During this process, the little girl Huansi and the little old man kept whispering beside each other. When they were about to open the rough stone, Huansi came over and said:
"My grandfather said that this rough stone contains imperial green, but there is not enough water in it."
Lao Jin was stunned. You didn't buy this rough stone. What's the use of talking now?
Yan Shouyi smiled, he saw through Huansi's little thought. They had not been able to buy the rough stone before, but now they were making some sarcastic remarks to suppress Yan Shouyi's limelight.
This little old man does have some skills. He can actually tell that the rough stone is imperial green.
As for the comments about insufficient water and insufficient quality of ingredients, Yan Shouyi didn't take it to heart at all and directly asked the stall owner to start cutting stones.
Seeing that Yan Shouyi didn't care, Huansi suddenly felt frustrated again and was very angry.
It was finally time to open the stone, and Lin Zitong, Long Feicheng and the others also came closer to watch.
With one stroke of the knife, a large window was opened in the rough stone. The stall owner wiped it with a cloth and was stunned.
This rough stone is actually imperial green!
Imperial green is the most valuable among jadeite!
It's just that the quality is a little off at the moment. If it's big, it won't be a problem to sell it for three million.
The stall owner smiled and said: "Brother, you have made a lot of money."
Although Lao Jin didn't know how to do it, he was a little disappointed when he saw that the emerald green was not so pure and there were some impurities in it.
"It's not really what the little girl said, is it? Hey, so what if you're right? The price of such a large piece of imperial green jade must be quite high!" Lao Jin thought to himself.
At this time, the stall owner started to make the second cut.
The second cut was made, and the style of the exposed part suddenly changed. Under the impact of the water flow, the pure imperial green slowly appeared!
Imperial green, also known as emerald, has a blue tint in the green, but it has no color cast. It gives people a noble feeling that other jade can't match!
The jadeite material on this side is extremely pure in color and contains no impurities. It is like a perfect mirror, which can directly reflect the shocked expression of the stall owner!
"This...this side is perfect!"
The stall owner said in shock: "After the second cut, the value of this piece of wool will at least triple. If it is bigger, five times will not be a problem..."
He then cut out the entire jade wool according to the line drawn by Yan Shouyi!
The complete wool is about three-quarters of the size of the original stone. Because Yan Shouyi drew the line, the wool was almost completely taken out without any waste!
Such a large piece of imperial green, and of such high quality, immediately attracted countless onlookers, and even the stall owner from the next stall rushed to come and watch.
"Oh my god, this piece of wool is worth at least fifteen million. Who won the big prize?!"
"I haven't seen jade with such a high water content in many years. I think selling it for 20 million won't be a problem..."
"I look at this rough stone every day, but I never thought of buying it! Hey!"
Huansi was dumbfounded, and the little old man also looked a little embarrassed.
They had previously said that this rough stone was worthless, but they did not expect that the reversal and slap in the face would come so quickly.
The stall owner didn't talk nonsense and said directly to Yan Shouyi: "Brother, you know that I am honest in my business. I will accept 16 million for this piece of wool. How about it?"
Yan Shou always put the problem directly to Lao Jin.
Lao Jin agreed without even thinking!
To him, these 16 million were like nothing. He didn't care if it was more or less.
The business was settled, and the stall owner smiled crookedly, but he couldn't afford so much money at the moment, so he asked Yan Shouyi and the others to sit down in front of the stall and drink tea while he went to work on the turnover.
After everyone sat down, Wei Changqing nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you have really mastered Master's skills."
Just now, Yan Shou observed the rough stones carefully and even saw the shape of the jadeite inside. Wei Changqing couldn't help but admire this.
Are they descendants of the Yan family after all...
Yan Shouyi and the others were overjoyed, but Huansi was so angry that her teeth itched.
"The villain succeeds!" Huansi cursed in a low voice.
The little old man pulled his face and said seriously: "Huansi, your remarks are more like the actions of a villain."
"They stole our rough stones..." Huansi said harshly.
The little old man couldn't help but shake his head: "You are really spoiled by your parents. This time you come out just to dampen your spirit! Come on, follow me!"
As the little old man spoke, he walked towards Yan Shouyi and the others. Huansi immediately became anxious behind him: "Grandpa, I don't have the shame to talk to them anymore!"
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Only by making friends with people who are better than you can you make progress!"
The little old man couldn't help but pulled Huansi and walked towards Yan Shou and others.
