Although this rough stone is only the size of a small watermelon, there is a green jadeite the size of a fist in the center.
According to some jade knowledge that Basi Yang had just taken a look at at the door, this was a piece of waxy jade. Although it was not as valuable as ice jade, such a large piece of jade was worth at least hundreds of thousands.
If you use this piece of jade to refine a talisman for yourself, the effect will probably be good.
"Old man Ye, just use that rough stone."
As he spoke, Basi Yang pointed to the cheapest stone, because he knew that among these stones, only this one had jade.
"You just choose the cheapest one? Why don't you choose a few more? Old Ye is much richer than me. You don't have to be polite to him." The white-bearded old man Chen looked at Basi Yang and advised.
"No, I only want this piece. The rest are all rubbish."Basi Yang shook his head and said with disdain.
"Hey, the young man is quite arrogant."
Seeing Basi Yang's insistence, Old Man Chen didn't say much and continued: "There are professional stone analyzers here, let's go there now."
"good."
In a corner of the hall, many people gathered around, making bursts of uproar from time to time.
Unraveling stones is a very exciting thing, because you can intuitively see whether you have lost or gained.
"What a profit, haha." A middle-aged man laughed loudly in the crowd, holding a piece of jade stone with half of the jadeite exposed in his hand, and the joy on his face was not concealed at all.
Of course, in addition to some people being excited, there were also people who were so angry that they were beating their chests because the stone they bought at a huge price turned out to be an ordinary stone and they lost all their money.
Nine times out of ten you lose when betting on stones. To win at stone betting, you need not only strong eyesight, but also luck. In this business, there are too many variables, and no one can say that you will definitely win.
One sword makes you poor, one sword makes you rich, and one sword cuts through linen. This is the most appropriate description of gambling on stones.
"Master, help us cut the stone." At this time, Basi Yang and three others had already arrived in front of a stone cutter.
Glancing at the rough stones in their cart, the stone cutter also said with some disdain: "Do you want to cut it? Or grind it?"
He could see that these stones were the cheapest, so he naturally didn't think anything good could be cut out of them.
There are two methods of stone cutting and grinding. Stone cutting is the fastest way to see if there is jade inside, but this is also the most likely way to damage the value of jade.
Therefore, when most people interpret stones, they will choose grinding stones. After all, no one knows whether there is jade in it.
"Cut it." Old man Chen said directly without paying attention to the attitude of the stone interpreter.
"No problem." The stone analyzer said, and then started to work.
Click!
When the knife went down, the stone was broken into two halves, but Old Man Chen's face showed a look of disappointment, because there was nothing inside.
Tens of thousands of yuan, just wasted.
"Keep cutting," said Old Man Chen.
After cutting five or six pieces in a row, there was nothing inside. At this time, even the old man Chen couldn't help but feel a little changed. They all said that you lose more when betting on stones, but there were no jade for several pieces in a row. This luck was also bad. It's just too bad.
"Do you still want to cut it?" The Stone Analyzer glanced at the three old men, Chen, and asked slowly.
"Tch." Old man Chen gritted his teeth and said.
Although hundreds of thousands was a drop in the bucket to him, he didn't feel very happy if he lost like this.
Continue cutting the stone. When all the expensive ones are cut, there is still no jadeite inside.
Old man Chen couldn't help but shook his head and said to old man Ye: "Old Ye, it seems that I am not lucky."
His rough stone has been cut, and only Basi Yang's piece is left.
Originally, the stone-cutter wanted to cut the stone with one stroke, but at this time, Basi Yang stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
What's the joke? There is a jadeite the size of a fist inside this stone. If you cut it with a knife, it will be cut into pieces. Although chopped jade can also be used to refine talismans, the value is greatly reduced and the effect is at least one level worse.
"What are you doing?" The stone interpreter glanced at Basi Yang, feeling a little uncomfortable being interrupted.
"This rough stone requires grinding, not cutting."Basi Yang said.
"Okay. No problem." Although I think Basi Yang is making a fuss, it is a lowest-grade rough stone, and the quality of the stone is not good, and it is full of holes. It looks like waste at first glance, and it is a waste of time. However, since it was the customer's request, the stone interpreter couldn't say much.
"Young man, how about you go back and pick out a few more pieces?" At this time, Old Man Ye said. He was not optimistic about this piece either. .
"Yeah, I think it's better to cut it all off. The probability of their family cutting out jade is not high." Old man Chen also agreed.
"No need to choose. There must be jade in this piece. And it must be good stuff."Basi Yang saw it with his spiritual power. Can this be fake?
Grinding the stone does take longer than cutting the stone. About five minutes have passed and there is still no green color.
The two old men were a little impatient, and even the stone analyzer showed a little impatience.
"Huh?"
However, a minute later, the stone analyzer's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his head and looked at the stone in his hand.
Because it's green.
"Haha, young man, you are amazing, you really are!"
Seeing the jade emerge from the original stone, Mr. Ye also spoke with a smile on his face.
"Little brother, how about I buy you this piece of stone for 100,000 yuan?"
Seeing that there was some green stone on Basi Yang side, a middle-aged man came up and asked, and his voice was loud, which immediately attracted many people.
Gambling on stones is a very thrilling process, so these people quickly gathered around.
"Little brother, I will pay you 150,000 yuan. You can sell this stone to me and we can trade it right away." Seeing the stone in the hands of the stone analyzer, another person said.
Seeing more and more people coming around, Old Man Ye felt very happy. This kind of luck in winning the lottery is not something ordinary people have.
"If you don't want to sell, don't you think we are short of money?" He quickly waved those people away.
Moreover, a jadeite the size of a fist is worth hundreds of thousands at least. If you want to buy it for hundreds of thousands, how is that possible?
After Uncle Ye asked everyone to leave, he said to the stone master: "Master, please continue grinding."
"Okay." The stone interpreter was now more serious than ever.
Judging from the size of the stone, there is indeed jade inside, and the head must not be too small. After working as a stone analyzer for such a long time, it is relatively rare for large jadeite to appear.
