The last half of the material was clamped again, and Xu Qing began to feel nervous. He stared at the place where the short man cut the knife without blinking. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the saw blade hit the center line of the stone.
He turned his head away pretending to be nonchalant.
In fact, he had seen it with his right eye when he came here. The inside of this half of the stone was very strange. If the cut was moved two centimeters to the left, fog would appear. After wiping off the white fog, he could take out a fist-sized piece of translucent eggplant purple jadeite.
The crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed, and only Xu Qing was thinking about how to get this rare piece of jade.
Bang! The whole piece of wool was divided into four, and it completely collapsed without any suspense in the eyes of ordinary people, including the old man who bought the material. He shook his head and sighed, put his hands behind his back, and was about to turn around and leave.
Naturally, someone will clean up these broken stones.
"Can you sell this stone to me?" Xu Qing finally mustered up the courage to stop the old man who was about to leave.
The old man was slightly startled. Seeing that the other party was still a childish young man, he smiled and said, "You can play with a few scraps if you like."
There are about two hundred kilograms of wool. If you have the patience to dig it out slowly, you can still get a few pieces of loose green. It is no problem to sell it for two hundred yuan. The old man also guessed that the young man who wanted to buy scraps was just looking at it.
Hit that thing.
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "No, it's better to give the money and feel comfortable. Just make a price."
Seeing that the other party was not grateful, the old man insisted on paying for these scraps. Suddenly, he felt angry and said lightly: "I paid 450,000 for this piece of scrap. Since you want two
Take Wanna."
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, turned around and stretched out his hand to Tang Guobin: "Brother Tang, take 20,000."
Without saying a word, Tang Guobin took out two bills from his handbag and handed them directly to the old man. After receiving the money and goods, these pieces of scrap became Xu Qing's.
The old man took the money and stuffed it into his pocket without counting it: "Young man, these pieces of material are yours."
Xu Qing smiled at the short man who was still standing aside and said, "Then can I use the stone dissolving machine here?"
The short man nodded: "Of course, do you want me to help you take out these scraps?"
Buying the remaining scraps is the same as buying the materials directly from the stalls. If Xu Qing tells him to continue dissecting stones, he must do so. This is an unwritten rule in the stone gambling business.
"No need to bother, I want to try the taste of calcite myself." After saying that, Xu Qing picked up the piece of material containing purple jade and clamped it on the calcite machine, and turned on the machine.
This piece of material was completely transparent in Xu Qing's right eye. He quickly found the cutting point, grabbed the handle and pressed it firmly.
Chichi——
A thin piece of stone as big as a palm was cut off. Xu Qing stretched out his arm to scoop up a ladle of water and pour it down on the cut surface. Meng Shicheng, who was nearby, was the first to see the white mist exposed on the cut surface, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother, it's better for me to clean the stone." Meng Shicheng quickly stopped Xu Qing's next move. Everyone knew what the fog meant. If the top-quality jadeite is really hidden, even if it is injured, it will be a loss.
.
Xu Qing did not insist this time, and naturally stood up and moved away from his position. He watched Meng Shicheng quickly put on the grinding wheel used for polishing stones, and then began to wipe away the layer of white mist.
"It's foggy, so this piece of waste may rise."
"Oh my god, the waste that should be thrown away actually came out of the fog..."
After wiping away a layer of mist, a sparkling and alluring purple came into view, and the crowd onlookers became excited.
"Eggplant purple? I can't tell if it's a high-ice violet just by looking at the water level."
"It's gone up, it's gone up big." Someone couldn't help shouting with excitement, and those who hadn't gone far immediately gathered around.
The eyes of the old man who had just sold the scrap material lit up. He walked up to Xu Qing in a few steps and said, "Good luck, young man. You don't need to unpack this piece of material. I'll pay you three million. How about selling me this piece of violet?"
What I bought for 20,000 yuan has multiplied 150 times in a blink of an eye. To others, it would have been a huge increase. At this time, I can make a guaranteed profit without losing money.
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I plan to keep this piece of material for myself, and I won't sell it no matter how much I pay."
Violet grown in high ice is extremely rare. He plans to find someone to carve this piece of violet into several beautiful pendants and give one as a gift to Lu Yinxue. Anyway, he is not short of money now. If there is a good thing, he will naturally choose to keep it first.
Tang Guobin on the side put his arms around Xu Qing's shoulders and said with a smile: "Bad boy, I now suspect that the God of Luck is your relative. I have a share in hunting in the mountains. I will get half of this piece of violet."
"No problem, let's talk it over first. If I can only carve one pendant, I will give it to Xiaoxue." Xu Qing knew that the purple jade inside was quite big, so it didn't matter if he gave him half of it, but he still had to say a bottom line.
So as not to arouse suspicion.
Meng Shicheng, who was wiping stones, turned his head and looked at Xu Qing with a resentful expression: "Qingzi, I want it too!"
Xu Qing laughed and scolded: "Go away, you won't get a share this time. Next time I unlock the ice seed material, I'll share half of it with you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone onlookers were speechless. These two young men were definitely amateurs. They picked up ice jade by chance and thought it was a common commodity. They would be in trouble in the future.
Seeing that there was no hope of purchasing ice-grown violets, the old man smiled coldly and said: "You are so angry, how about making a bet with the old man?"
"bet?"
Xu Qing smiled weirdly, shook his head, and said to himself, this old man is probably unbalanced when he sees the violet, and wants to make a trap for me to drill. Anyway, the thing is already mine, so I don't want to pay attention to him.
.
Tang Guobin was a little unhappy. He looked at the old man jokingly and said, "What are you betting on? The old man doesn't want to bet with my brother on who will live longer, right?"
The old man said calmly: "It's very simple. Didn't this young man say that he can also produce ice jade? Let's use this to make a bet."
"Oh? Then tell me how to gamble?"
Tang Guobin was intrigued by the old man's words and asked reluctantly.
The old man smiled calmly: "Didn't this young man just say that he could still unlock an ice jadeite? Let's use this as a bet. From now until the end of the trade fair, if he can still unlock a piece of ice jade from all the gambling materials.
, the old man is willing to pay double the price for it, and also help him carve the violet pendant for free. If the ice jade cannot be found within three days, the violet material will be sold to the old man at the actual price."
At first glance, this kind of gambling sounds like Xu Qing is taking advantage. Even if he can't find the ice jadeite, he won't suffer any loss. At worst, he will sell the violet at the actual price without any loss.
Tang Guobin's eyes lit up, he touched his nose and said, "What if we find out the glass species?"
The old man said sternly: "Of course I win. I can't support my words, so I can establish a written record."
Tang Guobin was quite moved, so he came to Xu Qing's side and said, "Brother, depending on your luck today, you will definitely win. Unlock a piece of ice and make this old man cry."
