In the center of the exhibition hall, the organizer specially provided a batch of high-quality seed materials from Myanmar for both parties to choose from.
After deciding on the bet, Ji Fu and Ye Chen walked to the seeds and carefully selected them.
Ye Chen turned on his clairvoyance and pretended to select seeds while he began to explore the jadeite inside the seeds.
Compared with the seed material in the ordinary area just now, the quality of this batch of seed material is quite high. Both the quality and quantity of jadeite are obviously higher. Like the ice jadeite that Ye Chen opened just now, Ye Chen
I saw several of them. Although the size is not as big as the one just now, they are still valuable.
The surrounding onlookers also stood on the outside and watched the two, hoping to learn some techniques.
However, when everyone saw Ye Chen's extremely amateurish methods, they were all stunned and shook their heads with a wry smile.
Compared with Ye Chen's layman's technique, Ji Fu's technique is much more formal. He carefully observes the appearance of the seed material, and occasionally takes out a flashlight to explore carefully.
After a while, Ji Fu nodded, took out a piece of seed material in his hand, and showed a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing that Ji Fu had picked out the seed material, Ye Chen took a quick look and saw that there was indeed a piece of jade inside.
However, the quality is not high, that is, the jadeite grown from beans, but the planting water is almost close to that of hibiscus grown.
Since you choose a bean-planted one, I will choose a hibiscus-grown one. It’s neither big nor small, so I’ll give you the upper hand.
Ye Chen randomly picked a piece of jadeite grown from hibiscus and walked over with the seed material.
"After working on it for a long time, you are a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything. This time, let me teach you what gambling on stones is."
Ji Fu looked at Ye Chen's casual movements with a sneer on his face. This kind of extremely amateurish movement is basically a fool's errand. What good things can come out of it?
"Then I'll wait and see."
Ye Chen smiled faintly.
The organizer also made great efforts this time and invited Xue Shi, who is well-known in the field of stone cutting.
Facing a layman like Ye Chen, Ji Fu looked confident and took the lead in handing over the seed material.
Xue Shi took the seed material, then picked up the cutting knife and started to cut it carefully.
Everyone's eyes began to focus on the seeds in Xue Shi's hand.
Soon, the outer skin of the seed material was cut off bit by bit, and then slowly began to be polished. After a while, the seed material showed a touch of green.
"The green came out. As expected of Master Ji, he came out green as soon as he made the move."
There was an uproar in the crowd, and many people looked at Ji Fu with admiration.
When Ji Fu heard the compliments from the crowd around him, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he subconsciously glanced at the expressionless Ye Chen.
Xue Shi speeded up, and soon a skylight was wiped out, revealing the jadeite in the seed material.
"It's a pity that it's jade made from beans, but its transparency is almost infinitely close to that of hibiscus."
There was a sigh from the crowd, and Ji Fu frowned slightly. He was not very satisfied with this result.
The jadeite from Douzhong is considered to be mid- to low-grade jadeite. Obviously, this piece of seed material did not meet his expectations.
"Young man, it's your turn."
Even if the quality of jade is not very high, it is still jade. Ji Fu looked at Ye Chen with a sneer.
There was no expression on Ye Chen's face as he handed over the seed material in his hand.
Xue Shi took the seed material and began to cut it slowly.
Soon, a hint of purple emerged from the seed material.
"Purple is violet."
Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd.
Lavender jade is named because its color is very similar to a violet flower, so it is also called violet jade.
Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, Ji Fu quickly looked at the seed material in Xue Shi's hand, and sure enough, a touch of lavender was revealed. In an instant, Ji Fu's face turned ugly.
This brat is so lucky, right? Can he get an emerald?
Xue Shi ignored the exclamations of outsiders and continued to concentrate on polishing the seed material. Soon, a skylight came out.
"This water level was planted by hibiscus. The violets planted by hibiscus have surged."
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and many people looked at Ji Fu with strange expressions.
Although green jadeite is more expensive, the violets grown from hibiscus are still much more valuable than the jadeite grown from beans, so this round, Ye Chen should be considered the winner.
Ji Fu, a well-known person in the stone gambling world, actually lost to a young man. This is interesting.
Ji Fu's face instantly turned livid, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes.
He actually lost to a little-known young man in such a big event. If word spread, his old face will be completely disgraced.
"Mr. Ji, it seems that your stone gambling skills are not as good as those reported outside." Ye Chen said with a faint smile.
"Young people are lucky, but I don't know if you will have such good luck next time."
Ji Fu snorted coldly and walked away with an ugly look on his face.
"Brother Chen, there were a few moments. I was almost scared when I was standing nearby."
Wang Ziyu came over and said nervously.
"Why, you don't even believe me anymore?" Ye Chen glanced at Wang Ziyu and said lightly.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that Ji Fu's reputation is too scary. To be honest, I didn't expect that Brother Chen, your stone gambling skills are so good. Do you have perspective?"
Wang Ziyu's casual joke made Ye Chen look a little weird.
Ye Chen coughed twice and said seriously: "You are right, I really have clairvoyance."
"Tch, if you have clairvoyance, I also have ears." Upon hearing this, Wang Ziyu said angrily.
Ye Chen spread his hands and looked helpless. In this world, no one would believe the truth.
"Master Ji, don't worry. With your skills, how can Ye Chen be your opponent? He will never have such good luck in the next round."
Zhao Yuanhao didn't show any displeasure on his face, but instead comforted Ji Fu with a smile.
Ji Fu's face softened and he nodded. After all, he was a veteran who had experienced ups and downs, and he would not lose his mentality just because of this matter.
Soon the second round began, and Ji Fu was obviously more careful in selecting seed materials this time. Compared with the previous round, it took a lot more time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Chen still behaves like an amateur, waiting unhurriedly for Ji Fu to make his selection first.
After a while, Ji Fu selected a piece of seed material with a satisfied look on his face. After Ye Chen looked at it, he walked over with a piece of seed material.
This time, Ji Fu chose to cut the stone first, but at this time, his face became a little solemn, and he watched Xue Shi carefully cutting the stone without saying a word.
Soon, a skylight was wiped out, revealing the light red jade inside.
"It's a piece of red jade, and it's a hibiscus-type red jade."
Xue Shi looked at the jade in his hand and said with a smile.
"As expected of Master Ji, the rough stones selected twice actually contain jade, and each one is worth more than the other."
There were murmurs of discussion among the crowd. This ability made everyone present envious.
Ji Fu breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The red jade from Hibiscus was already considered a relatively rare jade. Thinking about it, there should be no problem winning this round.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Chen.
Whether this young man is really capable or just relying on luck depends on the piece of seed material in his hand.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Chen handed over the piece of seed material in his hand with a slight smile.
