After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 243: Poor with 1 knife, rich with 1 knife

Seeing that the situation was not good, Manager Gao hurriedly explained: "Sir, please don't say anything careless. What's the trick here?

Everyone knows that the possibility of finding jade in our shop is very high, it’s just that the two brothers were unlucky.”

"Really?"

Lin Shuyue was standing in front of a pile of stones, looking at them carefully. Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and she turned around and looked straight at Manager Gao. Her bright eyes seemed to look directly into his heart, revealing all the secrets in his heart.

Suddenly, she smiled heartily, "If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. Hu Lei picked out a lot of waste materials just now, so the remaining rough materials have a greater chance of producing jade. I will try my luck today."

"Hey, why didn't I think of that? Right, since so much waste material has been picked out, then the possibility of jade being produced from the remaining materials is much greater, isn't it?"

"Let's go, let's hurry up, or someone will steal our good stones."

The customers in the store suddenly realized what she said, and they scattered and started to choose raw materials.

“I want this one!”

“These two are the ones I’ve chosen!”

"..."

Shopkeeper Gao looked at the scene of customers scrambling for things in the store and suddenly smiled like Maitreya Buddha. His eyes turned from unfriendly to kind when he glanced at Lin Shuyue who was selecting raw materials. He thought that this young man had bad intentions, but he didn't expect that he was overthinking.

Seeing that the stones were about to be snatched away, he hurriedly ordered his men to bring some more stones from the warehouse.

After giving the order, he glanced at Shopkeeper Zhao while no one was paying attention. Shopkeeper Zhao's eyes flashed, and he turned around and left the shop with Master Wu.

As soon as the two men left, a waiter came up and said something in Manager Gao's ear, and then Manager Gao took the waiter and hurried to the backyard.

"No one in the noisy shop noticed a petite figure leaving the shop.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Qingzhi looked at Lin Shuyue in confusion as he stood in front of a piece of stone, touching it in a daze.

"Oh, I'm fine." Lin Shuyue withdrew her hand and looked at the ordinary piece of raw material in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Just now when she touched the raw material with her hand, she actually felt that it contained a breath that was exactly the same as the one that appeared in her meridians after she drank the water soaked with the flowers of the old tree in the space, but it was a little weaker.

She thought for a moment, then reached out and touched a piece of woolen material next to her that had an inconspicuous scratch on the bottom. After feeling it carefully, she touched other woolen materials. After repeating this several times, a look of joy flashed across her eyes.

In order to verify her guess, she touched all the rough stones displayed in the shop, and finally picked out five pieces. After paying the silver, Qingsheng carried the rough stones in the basket and followed her lady to the stone-cutting stall.

Most of the jade shops in the jade market are equipped with stone-cutting masters. After customers buy the rough materials, they can ask the stone-cutting masters to cut the stone on the spot.

At this time, the stone-cutting stall was crowded with people. Three stone-cutting masters were working hard to use a thread made of unknown hair, fine stone, fine sand and water to rub and cut the stone back and forth.

"Why is it brick material again? What bad luck!"

"It's out, it's out, oops, why is it flower material, what a pity..."

"...."

"It's green! Haha! I'm rich!"

A thin middle-aged man squatting in front of the stone-cutting master on the far right suddenly exclaimed loudly, standing out among the sighs.

Everyone looked sideways and saw that the stone cutter in front of the man with a red face had a palm-sized hole in a corner of the rough material in his hand, revealing a cottony base that appeared in foggy, clumpy and floc-like shapes.

"Oh my goodness, it's ice type!"

"Hu Laosi, you're so rich! You actually produced an ice-type jade!" An acquaintance congratulated him.

"Brother Hu, will you pay me three hundred and fifty taels?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a protruding belly, wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown on his head asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mr. Du!" People who knew him made way for him. This was one of the richest businessmen in Jin'an Prefecture. Mr. Du had no other hobbies except collecting jade, so he often came to this jade market.

"Master Du, this is ice-type. Look at the color and texture. Three hundred and fifty taels is a bit too little!"

Hu Si waved his hand.

Master Du stroked his beard and smiled, shaking his head, saying, "Brother Hu, your piece of raw material is not big, and it has not been completely unraveled yet. No one knows whether it will increase in value later. Three hundred and fifty taels is not a small amount. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. Please consider it."

"Hu Laosi, just unload all the stocks, maybe the stock price will rise sharply!" the onlookers encouraged.

"Yes, yes, let us open our eyes!"

"Okay, Master, keep wiping." Hu Si gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that his luck would be so bad.

When Master Jieshi heard this, he continued his work skillfully.

“Rising…rising…rising…”

Hu Si clenched his fists and stared nervously at the rough material in the hands of the stone-cutting master. The others were also watching intently. Even Lin Shuyue couldn't help but turn her head to look.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone was sighing as they looked at the cracked jadeite that was only as thin as a baby's palm. Hu Si had already fallen to the ground, his face pale and covered in cold sweat.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could this happen?"

Mr. Du glanced at Hu Si, who was in a state of dismay and still couldn't believe it, and shook his head and sighed.

He has seen this kind of scene many times. It starts out green, but becomes colorless and waterless later on, and instantly becomes worthless. This is what is meant by "one cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich."

Hu Si's revelation did not affect the other customers' enthusiasm for stone cutting at all, and the stone cutting stall soon became lively again.

"Master, it's our turn." Qing Sheng whispered.

"Well, let's solve this one first."

Lin Shuyue picked out a piece of rough stone from the basket and handed it to the stone cutter. She gestured on the rough stone and said, "Master, please cut it from here."

The stone-cutting master looked up at her in surprise, but said nothing. He lowered his head and began to cut the stone.

"My dear sir, please forgive me for being so nosy, but this is not the way to cut a stone. You have only cut it in half, and if something green comes out, it will be ruined."

Mr. Du came behind Lin Shuyue at some point and said with a look of disapproval.

Lin Shuyue nodded slightly at him and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Du, for reminding me, but I am just playing around and trying my luck."

When Mr. Du heard this, he stopped trying to persuade them. Instead, several guests around him who were attracted by the sound of the two people talking looked over curiously.

The stone-cutting master was very experienced and the rough material was cut quickly. As Lin Shuyue expected, it was a piece of waste.

"Come again."

Lin Shuyue ignored the sighs of the people around her, picked up another rough stone from the basket and handed it to the stone cutter, pointing to a corner of the rough stone, "Master, you cut this piece from here."
