Excellent little farmer

Lu Qingzhou smiled slightly, leaned into his wife's ear, and whispered: "So what? It's not like driving an Audi, but now riding a motorcycle. This should be done in moderation and not indulged in it. Otherwise, even if the family has gold and silver, it will still be useless." Lose everything!"

"That makes sense!"

Chu Aihua nodded, walked to a stall on the roadside, picked up a piece of wool, raised it above his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the green at the incision in the sun, and said softly: "Boss, what's wrong with this stone?" selling?"

"Eighty-eight thousand, I'll definitely pay you!" The old man at the stall was haggling with others and said casually without taking her into consideration.

"Damn it, why is it so expensive? Why don't you just grab it!" Chu Aihua muttered, threw down the wool, stood up, and followed the others forward.

After walking for more than ten meters, Gu Xiping came to a stall, stopped, bargained with the boss, and finally bought a 60-kilogram rough stone at a price of 150 yuan per kilogram. Surrounded by everyone, Holding it next to the stone dissolving machine, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll bet on this today. If it fails, I'll quit drinking, sex, and gambling in the future!"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. The man who cut the stone was a dark-faced middle-aged man. He laughed and joked a few words, then pointed at the rough stone and asked softly: "Boss, which side should you cut from?"

Gu Xiping pointed to the wide side of the stone and said softly: "Just come this way and cut out the green ones. I'll reward you with five hundred!"

"Okay, look, it's green!"

The middle-aged man put the stone in the right position and carefully cut it with a cutting machine. Stone chips were flying, and the onlookers stood on tiptoes and looked around. They saw that the stone was cut, but it was gray-white inside, without any green at all!

"Collapse!" There were boos all around, and someone whistled in glee.

Gu Xiping's eyes almost turned green. He slapped his thigh and cursed bad luck. Still unwilling to give up, he pointed at the original stone and said, "The quality is quite good. It's fine if it doesn't have a high green color. How could it collapse?" Let’s make another stab from the middle, don’t miss the spot!”

The middle-aged man shook his head, but followed his instructions and split the rough stone into two. Still no green was seen. Chu Aihua smiled next to him and said: "Xiping, you have been really unlucky recently. You came here four times a month." , actually it never came out green once.”

Gu Xiping stood up with a dark face, lit a cigarette, and said angrily: "I got off to a bad start. It's up to you this time. If you come up with the best imperial green, don't forget to share some of the benefits with me."

Chu Aihua took a sip and said with a smile: "If it were so easy to produce the best, everyone in this market would become a billionaire. Let alone the imperial green, even if you produce the oil-green variety, you can still eat it for twenty or thirty years." Got it!"

I listened to the side and became a little curious, so I asked casually: "What is the Youqing species?"

"Youqing jade is a kind of high-quality jadeite." Chu Aihua didn't really understand it, so he explained casually.

At this time, Zhou Jingwen, who had been following everyone silently, suddenly spoke, and said a little coquettishly: "The oil green variety is a darker type of green. The color is not very pure, and is usually mixed with gray or blue. The color is not bright enough, because the surface gloss is similar to oil, so it is called oil green."

After hearing this, several people couldn't help but be surprised. Shang Tingsong turned sideways and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou's answer is very professional. It seems that she also has a lot of research on jade."

Zhou Jingwen smiled faintly and said calmly: "Mayor Shang is just joking, not research, I just know a little bit."

But Chu Aihua seemed to have discovered a new world. He hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "Sister Jingwen, do you know how to choose rough jade stones?"

Zhou Jingwen frowned slightly, nodded and said: "I only understand a little bit, but I don't have much confidence."

Chu Aihua smiled like a flower and said hurriedly: "That's okay, it's much better than us. Help me and Qingzhou choose one!"

Zhou Jingwen pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Okay, but this depends on luck. Don't blame me if it fails!"

Lu Qingzhou nodded and said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder, just go ahead and pick it!"

Zhou Jingwen took off her sunglasses, hung them on her front, walked to a stall, carefully selected them, pointed to a stone with obvious pine flowers and moss, and asked softly: "Boss, how much does this rough stone cost?" "

The middle-aged woman selling the rough stone stood up and said with a smile: "Miss, you have really good eyesight. This is a piece of fine wool, and it costs 50,000 yuan!"

"This piece is good, do you want to buy it?" Zhou Jingwen turned around and looked at Chu Aihua and asked.

"It's good, but it's a bit expensive. I only have 30,000 yuan with me!" Chu Aihua squatted down, stared at the stone, and said reluctantly.

Lu Qingzhou hurriedly approached and asked with a smile: "Boss, the price is too high, can it be made cheaper?"

The middle-aged woman waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "We can't negotiate the price. This is a half-mountain-half-water stone from Damakan. It is a high-quality rough stone. Once it is cut and the price rises, it may be worth dozens of times."

"That's it!" Lu Qingzhou glanced at his wife and hesitated.

But Shang Tingsong seized the opportunity, hurriedly opened his briefcase, took out two stacks of money, handed it over casually, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou, this rough stone is really good, it looks comfortable, count me in, let's Let's buy it together, and any losses will be used as teaching fees."

"Okay, let's give it a try, fifty thousand is fifty thousand!" Lu Qingzhou gritted his teeth, took the money, and handed it to Chu Aihua. He gathered up fifty thousand yuan and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

"Miss Zhou has good eyesight, this rough stone is really good!" Gu Xiping helped lift the stone, came to the stone dissolving machine, put it down, and asked with a smile: "How to cut it?"

Zhou Jingwen pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said: "I don't understand that, so let the master do it. They often do this, and they are the most experienced!"

The master who cut the stone squatted down, carefully observed the wool, pointed to a certain place on the narrow surface, drew a line with his hand, and said with a smile: "How about a knife from here?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Lu Qingzhou nodded, his face solemn. Due to nervousness, there was a slight tremor in the voice. The couple is usually very frugal and does not spend much. This 30,000 yuan is a lot of money. If it breaks down, it means losing everything. It takes more than half a year of frugality to make up for the loss.

Chu Aihua was extremely nervous. When the stone cutter laid out the rough stones, she didn't dare to look at them. She just turned her head, stared away, and murmured: "God bless me, don't collapse, I must be green." !”

Accompanied by the sound of the cutting machine, a corner of the rough stone was cut, and a buzzing sound was heard next to it! ' With a sound, everyone shouted in unison: "It's rising, it's rising, there's green!"

Chu Aihua turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see a thin green strip appearing on the cut surface of the stone. He jumped up and shouted: "It's really gone up. I won the bet!"

"It seems to be a hibiscus species. I'll pay 250,000!" A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks shouted loudly.

"It does look like it. The size is okay. I'll pay you 300,000 yuan!" The fat man next to him also shouted the price.

"The water is very good, 350,000, can you sell it for 350,000?" A bald old man squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Chu Aihua and his wife, and asked eagerly.

"Husband, do you want to sell it or do it again?" Chu Aihua was extremely excited and said with a beaming smile.

Lu Qingzhou also had no idea. He turned to look at Shang Tingsong and asked with a smile: "Tingsong, we are really lucky. Should we sell or continue?"

Shang Tingsong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou, I don't know much about this. It's up to you two to decide. Whatever you do is fine!"

Chu Aihua's face turned into a smile, and he hurriedly squeezed to Zhou Jingwen's side, beaming: "Miss Jingwen, you picked out the rough stone, do you want to continue?"

Zhou Jingwen frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "You still have to make up your mind on this, but I heard people say that greed is the most taboo in stone gambling, so it's better to be cautious, lest you rejoice in vain!"

"Okay, let's not be greedy. Let's settle down as a rich man!" Chu Aihua smiled and shouted to the bald old man: "Old sir, I'll sell it to you for 350,000 yuan."

The old man hurriedly opened his leather bag, took out piles of banknotes from it, and handed them to Chu Aihua one by one. The two signed a note on the spot and reached a sales agreement. Chu Aihua only took 200,000 yuan, and left the rest to Shang Tingsong.

However, Shang Tingsong became humble and said repeatedly: "Aihua, 150,000 is too much. I just made a small fortune, so 50,000 is enough!"

Lu Qingzhou knew in his heart that the other party was sending a favor in disguise, and he didn't point it out. He just forced the money to him and said with a smile: "Tingsong, friendship is friendship, money is money, it doesn't matter if you lose, you have already earned, then You have to distinguish it more clearly!”
