Cultivation of the Dragon Wu Feiya

Betting on stones or betting on goods means that when the jadeite is mined, it is wrapped with a layer of weathered skin, and it is impossible to know whether it is good or not. The jadeite that needs to be cut is called betting stone.

A piece of raw jadeite has a colored skin and a very good surface. It is common to see green in the first cut, but it may disappear in the second cut.Away from the emerald mines, only [-]/[-] people who gamble up (referring to pigments) have a much higher chance of gambled in the emerald mines. Gambling up a jade, getting rich overnight, but most of them gamble with failure Stone culture studies will be provided at the end.

Unprocessed rough jadeite is called "wool".In the jade trading market, wool is also called "stone", green wool is called "colored goods"; green uneven wool is called "flower brand material", and large pieces of wool without high jade are called "brick". material".The whole body is covered by a leather shell, and the jade wool that has not been cut or opened (also known as the door) is called "gambling stone", or "gambling goods".The outer skin of the gambling stone is covered with thin or thick original stone skin. Different gambling stones have different colors, red, yellow, white, black, and mixed colors.The most profitable, the most tempting, but also the most risky in jade trading is stone gambling.There is a jargon in the jewelry industry: betting on stones is like betting on your life.If you win the bet, you will earn ten times and a hundred times, and you will become rich overnight; if you lose the bet, you will lose everything.

It takes a deep knowledge of jade to see the quality of the jade through the outer skin of the jade. "It is difficult for a god to break an inch of jade, and the master often misses it." Jade is very mysterious when it is underground, and no instrument can detect it.When it comes out, it is covered with a layer of rocky skin. What is inside the skin is still unclear, so the process of judging jade is called "gambling with stones" in the industry.

According to the "Dianhai Yuheng Zhi" written by Tan Cui in the Qing Dynasty: "Jade comes out of the Jinsha River in the south. Jiangxi belongs to Tengyue. It is more than [-] miles away from the state. There are many jades in it. The barbarians pick it up and leave it in piles on the river bank. The rough ore is obtained from outside, the size is like a pebble, I don't know whether there is jade in it, whether it is beautiful or not, the dealer buys it at will, and transports it to Dali and Yunnan Province, all of them are used as jade workshops, and when they understand it, they see emeralds, and the plains are rich. !"

Jiqin also has a tradition of betting on stones, and that spy is in a certain stone betting field in the capital.However, because betting on stones is a kind of gambling, although Ji Qin didn't take it as strictly as gambling, he didn't advocate it either.Therefore, generally new customers must be recommended by old customers.Fortunately, the people in Anbu did a good job. Not long after the rest, a middle-aged man who looked a little rich came to the inn to lead the way for everyone.

But I never saw Qin Xiaoyan again, so I didn't care about it.A few people followed the hidden pile of the dark department through several dark alleys that no one noticed, turned left and right, and after getting dizzy, they finally came to a seemingly ordinary house.There are two Fengshui stone lions in front of the gate of the house, but they are not very big, only nearly half a meter high.The lines are not very clear, obviously just ordinary goods, but there are many dark spots in the recesses of the stone lion's eyes and mouth, which are dried moss.There was also a gleaming branch protruding from the yard, which looked like a thorn plum.

Duanqing glanced around the yard a few times, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he had made some preparations, but it was useless.

A wealthy middle-aged man named Xu Fugui, who is the shopkeeper of a certain jewelry store in the capital, known as "Fatty Xu", but secretly one of the hidden stumps secretly cultivated by the Anbu. Dispatch, just like today, but it is estimated that after today, Xu Fugui will no longer exist. Even if no one suspects him, he will suddenly die suddenly in a few days, and he will return to Anbu.This is why Anbu has never been discovered - be careful!careful!Be careful!

As soon as the few people entered the house, a servant immediately stepped forward, and when he saw Fatty Xu, he let out a soft sigh, "So it's Uncle Xu! You're here. Who are these? Are you here?" Don't blame the little one, isn't there no way? These days, I don't know why, and the investigation is fierce! Last time, only a group of officials just left!"

Xu Fugui also smiled and said, "Don't be careful, we know your difficulties, don't you..." He passed a few taels of silver to the boy from his sleeve, "These are some of my friends. It's fun, and I specially asked me to bring it here." He took a few steps forward, whispered into the boy's ear, "These guys are big fish!"

The young man looked at several people wearing silk and satin, which cost a lot of money. He is also a master of goods, so he naturally knew that Fatty Xu's words were true, and with Fatty as a guarantee, there should be no problem.And judging by his demeanor, he might not be an ordinary person!Fatty Xu knew about it, the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai had come here to gamble at the quarry not once or twice, and had brought his guests here before.So the servant's smile became brighter and brighter, "Then, gentlemen, please come inside! Uncle Xu knows how to get there, so the younger ones don't have much trouble."

When everyone entered the house, they found that there was nothing unusual, maybe there were other strange things.really!Fatty Xu led a few people out of the house to the rockery in the garden, tapped a certain stone twice, and there was a slight clicking sound, and a certain stone in the rockery sank, revealing a dark entrance.It's not that the insider couldn't find it, no wonder the officers and soldiers couldn't find it.

I thought it was a dark tunnel, but unexpectedly, after turning a corner, there was gradually a glimmer of light, and I stepped forward quickly, and it turned out that there were dozens of little finger-sized night pearls inlaid on the wall!Although Littlefinger's luminous pearls can be regarded as the smallest among luminous pearls, each one costs at least a few thousand taels, and only a few tens of taels can make a family of five live for a year! "Stone gambling is indeed a highly profitable business!" Someone sighed.

On the way to a cup of tea, you can gradually hear a burst of noise.They are about to see the crazy scene of stone gambling!

The arrival of the few people obviously attracted the attention of the quarry. An extremely thin man in a navy blue robe came up to them and stared at them with a slightly wary look. This person is the owner of the quarry—— Wu Xiao!That is the goal of breaking love.Fatty Xu was ahead of the crowd and explained this to Wu Xiao.Wu Xiao nodded, expressing his understanding, and finally glanced at everyone, "Fatty Xu, you know the rules, but don't break the rules! By the way, tell them the taboos here, so don't violate others' taboos!" Xu Fugui Hastily replied, "I have told them before, I will never talk nonsense!"

Wu Xiao nodded, and went back to the place just now, ignoring the few people.He is the manager of the entire stone casino. Although Ju Baozhai is a guest, he is not the kind of big customer who needs to be entertained by him personally!This is also the reason why Fatty Xu was reprimanded just now. If it was a big client, why would he use such a tone?However, the service of this gambling quarry is still good. Immediately after Wu Xiao left, a person in charge ran over.

"Are you going to buy wool or jadeite?" The manager asked this question because there were stone bettors and jewelers who bought jadeite here.

"We are..." Fatty Xu was about to say something casually when he saw Duanqing walking towards a pile of wool in the corner.He doesn't know about breaking love, but he understands the master's attitude, that is, treat him as the second master!So when he saw the gesture of severing love, the master didn't say anything, so he naturally accepted it.

"What's wrong?" Ying Qingye asked, his eyes were not quite right since he first came in.

Duanqing shook his head, signaling him to wait until later.He is still not sure if it is true, if it is, then it will be a real fortune!Perhaps it should not be described as earning, it is immeasurable.Perhaps it should be said that it is a character explosion!

Picking and picking, Duanqing picked a piece of wool the size of an adult's head from the pile of wool, with a strange expression on his face.The steward looked at Duanqing with some puzzled eyes, young master, what's the matter?Why this expression when picking a piece of wool?Can he tell if it's porn or bricks?Shaking his head, the steward laughed secretly at himself for thinking too much. Before the jade was cut, even monks couldn't judge it!A young man from a family?No!Impossible, even a master is not more than [-]% sure.This stone betting relies on the word "gambling"!Getting rich and ruining the family all depended on this gambling word, and no one could determine what was in it.

"Young master, is this piece of wool really fancy? For Shopkeeper Xu's sake, I'll give you a cheap price of 50 taels!" The steward quoted a price, but he also knew that it was only the initial price.

Duanqing looked at Ying Qingye and then at the woolen material in his hand, his eyes were full of innocence, he didn't understand the price at all.

Ying Qingye is helpless, he doesn't know the price, but he can't expect an emperor to know this!As a result, this still has to be thrown to the insiders.Fatty Xu took the words, "Strict management, please tell me the real price! These masters don't understand the price, but I do! The openings of this woolen material are mixed, and it will cost 50. That pervert It’s not worth the sky-high price!” Although the master meant to take the things no matter how much he paid, but he is a businessman, and businessmen are all profit-seeking, if he doesn’t negotiate the price, it’s not obvious to tell others that I have a problem ?

In the end, the two bargained, and the piece of wool was sold at 10 taels.It can be seen that it is a disadvantage not to bargain!

"Young masters, do you want to see it with your own eyes or come over after it is cut?" Because betting on stones is a business with extremely high uncertainty, so if someone buys wool and cuts, he will not be there in person. Worshiping the gods and the sky outside, that's why the steward asked this question.

"Can't I go home and cut it myself?" As soon as the question of breaking love was asked, Ying Qingye and the others were fine, but Xu Fugui and Yan Guanshi were a little embarrassed.Although there is no rule that you can't take the wool home and cut it yourself, but generally those who come to gamble on stones expect to get rich overnight, who would take the stone home bored?Moreover, every stone casino will have a professional cutting master, can I do better at home than others?

"Can't you?" Duanqing asked again.

"This is not..." No, it's just that no one has done it.Fatty Xu was a little speechless.

"Young master, don't you want to see what you have picked right away?" Guan Shi's tone was completely coaxing children.

"I can go home and cut it myself." Duanqing frowned.

"This..." Guanshi Yan didn't know how to persuade him, he gave Ying Qingye a wink and asked him, the parent, to come forward.

"San'er likes it, so let's go home and cut it ourselves." Ying Qingye had spoken, but it was more like helping the evildoer.

"Ah?!" Yan Guan was stunned, why is this like this?Isn't he worried that children will mess with it casually and damage a good piece of jade?That's 10 taels of wool!Not ten taels, let alone ten copper coins!Perhaps, this is a rich master who comforts himself by being strict with his affairs.However, that's not how money is spent. If he thinks it's better to give him more money, he doesn't think it's too much!
