After looking at hundreds of gold coins in the ten gold coin area, Chen Zining only picked out four that had greater spiritual power response. It seemed that the chance was not high. No wonder I heard that so many people who gambled on stones lost all their money, so they came to the second gold coin area again.
The selection of ten gold coins began. Throughout the morning, until Chen Zining felt that his mental power was exhausted and his spiritual sense could hardly keep up, he only picked out twenty-four pieces.
Chen Zining paid the price and went to the stone cutting place to cut the stone on site. Compared with other kinds of gambling, gambling on stones is more profitable and more attractive, but the risk is also the highest. There is even a jargon saying, "Gambling on stones"
It’s like gambling on life.”
If you win a bet, you will earn ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times, and become a rich man overnight, while those who lose the bet often lose everything or even go bankrupt.
Seeing the bustle of Jie Shi, the people nearby would not miss it, so they all gathered around. The Jie Shi master first took a piece of wool with white weathered leather in his hand, observed it for a while, and seemed to be looking for the place to cut the knife.
Finally, the wool is fixed on the lathe. The cutting tool is made of cold iron mixed with star-grained steel, because the stone used for gambling is usually jadeite, and its hardness is the same as that of gold and iron. Good jade
It is even harder than fine steel, and ordinary knives cannot cut it easily.
As the surface of the original stone was cut open with a single knife, the owner Chen Zining was not yet excited, but the bystanders held their breath and stared at the original stone under the knife edge without blinking.
With a "click", a piece of skin equivalent to one-sixth was cut off, revealing an emerald-green jade about two fingers wide inside. Its color was crystal clear, and it was obviously a piece of extremely high-quality jade.
"The bet has gone up! The bet has gone up!"
"I'm so lucky. The jade came out on the first cut, and it's the best ice type."
The onlookers exclaimed in unison, and couldn't help but envy Chen Zining's good luck. Someone said: "I am willing to pay a hundred gold coins to buy this piece of jade."
"I'll give you one hundred and ten gold coins, sell it to me."
Seeing that Chen Zining was unmoved, Master Jieshi carefully cut off a piece of skin from the side. The jade stone exposed this time was even larger, the size of a small wine glass, and worth at least five hundred gold coins. Such an opportunity rarely happened.
.
"Sir, how about I buy it for 600 gold coins?" A middle-aged man said. Most of the people present were jade merchants, and they were all moved when they saw the good jade.
"I'll pay six hundred and fifty. This price is already very high."
Indeed, this rough stone was selected from the ten gold coin area, and its value increased by more than sixty times, which can be said to be a huge profit.
Chen Zining still shook his head, did not answer, and signaled the stone-cutting master to continue cutting. The stone-cutting master did not dare to make any big moves anymore, but carefully polished the weathered leather next to it with a grinding wheel.
After the skin was completely peeled off, a piece of jadeite the size of a fist was revealed in front of everyone. Although it was only roughly polished, it could not hide the breathtaking brilliance of this piece of jade.
The people around him suddenly became jealous, and they all offered the price: "Five thousand gold coins, I bought it!"
"I'll pay five thousand three hundred!"
"Six thousand!"
"Seven thousand! I bought it."
Chen Zining smiled and put the jade in a bag, indicating that he would not sell it.
Then the second piece of mixed-color rough stone was cut, and while everyone was stunned, another piece of high-quality jade with good color and water was found!
Some people in the crowd seemed to be petrified, while others felt that their hearts could no longer bear it. Anyone who saw the same person winning the jackpot twice in a row would not be able to bear it. The look he looked at Chen Zining could be described as a mixture of emotions.
The cutter's hands and feet were trembling a little, and his face felt like blood. Just when he was about to take the third rough stone, Chen Zining quickly stopped him. If he continued to cut it, something would probably happen.
Chen Zining and Lao Huo worked together to load the cut jade and the remaining twenty-two rough stones into the carriage. They walked around in a circle to make sure that no one was following them, then returned to the rented courtyard and returned to the carriage.
After unloading the carriage, Chen Zining casually took out twenty gold coins, rewarded Lao Huo, and made an appointment for him to pick him up in the afternoon. After Lao Huo left, Chen Zining collected all the rough stones into the Immortal Mansion and went outside.
After dinner, he went back to the house and meditated for an hour. When his spiritual consciousness was almost restored, he also waited for the carriage to arrive.
In the afternoon, Chen Zining selected rough stones in several other more expensive grading areas. After a tiring day, he selected more than 40 rough stones. Of course, this time he did not cut them on the spot.
Even so, it still attracted the attention of interested people. When Chen Zining left, he felt at least three groups of people following him. Chen Zining put the original stone into the Immortal Mansion on the carriage and asked Lao Huo to park the carriage next to a restaurant.
After opening the car door and waiting for the business to arrive, he got out of the car and wandered around empty-handed.
The people following him were confused. There was nothing on the carriage, and Chen Zining could not have dozens of rough stones on him. Naturally, they would not have thought that a teenage boy also had a spiritual storage device, or a more advanced one.
