Rise of Nongmen

Ye Chun and others felt that this trip was better than expected, but Ye Chen was not so happy.

On the way to deposit food, the Lucky Mall opened twice, but Ye Chen didn’t get anything. It wasn’t because he was unlucky, all he encountered were commodities he couldn’t afford, and the problem was the trading currency.

Originally, Lucky Mall charged silver taels, but now they rejected it and changed it to Yuanyu, a unit of measurement to measure the value of jade, which caught him off guard.

It was the first time for Ye Chen to taste the feeling of having money but not being able to buy things, and it felt quite fresh.

Along the way, whenever he was free, he was thinking about the new changes in the Lucky Mall.

As early as the end of the world, Ye Chen owned the Lucky Mall.At that time, even if the Lucky Mall was upgraded to a high level, the transaction currency had not changed. It was the alien animal and plant nucleus that appeared at the beginning of the end of the world. Now the Lucky Mall has not been upgraded, and it is still in the initial primary state. The transaction currency But a big change.

Ye Chen was thoughtful, it seems that after completing the task of depositing food, he has to go to the jade market.

The closer you get to Xijing, the more difficult the road is. It's not that the official roads are not well built. On the contrary, the official roads are getting wider and smoother. The problem lies in the climate.

After trekking all the way, the grain transportation team encountered the worst situation, with heavy rain and snow, the road surface was slippery and difficult to walk. After freezing at night, it was even more difficult to walk on the second day, and several vehicles did not skid and overturned.Not to mention people, it was only dry and frozen before, but now it is wet and cold. It is hard to adapt to the new environment.

It was not easy to bring alcohol, so Ye Chen didn't take more, and that was the only thing that everyone was vying for.Without him, wine can keep the cold away and warm the body. Because the wine occupies a large area and is fragile, Ye Chen brings all high-concentration spirits, which have been purified through multiple distillations, and are stronger than the flame wine sold in Qingyuan Restaurant Many, if further purified, will soon become alcohol.

Ye Chen left an altar to make friends with the grain guards, and distributed the rest to the people around him, and he didn't care about it, no matter who came forward, he would not be moved.

Ye Chun was young, he had just reached the adult age, and his seniority was still young, but he didn't go out too much at first. Later, seeing that the situation was not right, he almost couldn't drink enough, so he immediately shrank to Ye Chen's side and didn't move any further.This is something that can save lives at a critical moment, and he is not so generous as to give away all of them. If so, even if he doesn't get beaten to death by his parents later on, he will live up to Uncle Chen's good intentions.

The three Ye Wu brothers have special identities. They are the sons of the village head, so they have to take care of the overall situation. Fortunately, Ye Wu was raised as the successor of the village head. When I came to the door, I went out evenly, and it was too cold to bear, so no one would give it to me. I also confiscated the wine from my two younger brothers and kept it together.

Because of this, Ye Wu didn't know how many times he was talked about by Ye Yin and Ye You all the way.

Ye Wu's action soon paid off. He warmed up with spirits, and the proportion of people in Suifeng Village getting sick while walking in rain and snow was significantly lower than other people.

After walking for so long, the wine carried by the officials was almost exhausted, and the vat of spirits that Ye Chen left on purpose became delicious. After being assigned to other officials, Ye Chen received even more preferential treatment.

"This wine is so strong, you won't be afraid even in cold weather after one sip, why doesn't the flame wine I bought have such a great effect?" Zhao Jia untied the wine bag, took a sip, and tied it up again, slightly dissatisfied.

"If you also help Boss Xu when he is in distress, maybe you can get the same treatment." Liu Zheng glanced at Zhao Jia, smacked his mouth twice, and his expression was still unsatisfied.It's a pity that there isn't much wine, so I have to drink sparingly, and I can only drink some to satisfy my cravings when it's really cold, squinting my eyes and looking forward to it, "Maybe Qingyuan Restaurant will sell it later, I must buy a jug and drink enough. "

"Qingyuan Restaurant has killed people, are you not afraid of being recruited?"

"Then put it down and don't drink it, come on, come on, I'll help you out."

Liu Zheng made a gesture to untie the skin pouch on Zhao Jia's waist, but Zhao Jia pushed it away with his hands.

"It's better to be a drunk than to be frozen into an ice sculpture."

Ye Chen sent the dried mutton over, and just heard a few words, he couldn't help but think of the common sense of alcohol disinfection.

Due to the rudimentary equipment and the low concentration of alcohol sold in batches, even if he has these, it is not easy to get them. The cost of making medical alcohol can be imagined, and the price may be expensive.

Moreover, this thing is suitable for the army, and it is very dangerous to promote it. Ye Chen can only reach the Qing'an Hou Mansion with this ability right now. Ye Chen decided to go to Beijing to listen to Xiao Jinyan's comments before making plans.

After several months of hard work, the food transportation team finally arrived in Xijing safely, but at this time there was a small number of people missing from the team.At this moment, everyone has no time to think about these things, all of them are smiling, and they just want to shout loudly, to vent out the fear of Lian Yue.

However, this small request could not be met. How could the granary allow people to be noisy and noisy. After the handover was over, everyone had already passed the excitement, exhaustion swept over, and fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows at the residence, and snoring was all over the sky.

There is not much rest time, only half a month. Of course, they can also return on their own, but in this way, many trivial matters have to be resolved by themselves.This is the second point, the key is that customs clearance is very troublesome, although being made things difficult is not normal, it is not a rare thing.

The price of foreign goods has always remained high, and it may not be without their credit.

Ye Chen didn't intend to break away from the main force and act alone, as soon as he relieved his fatigue, he began to look around.

Ye Chun and Ye Wu also followed up to help inquire, trying to sell the goods at the highest possible price.You know, at Ye Chen's suggestion, they all brought some rare and dry goods, the amount only depends on the amount of their family assets, and helping Ye Chen is also helping themselves.

Ye Chen was not so kind, everyone took care of him, and only a small part of the villagers were private.He kept the news very tight. Others didn't know what the cargo he was carrying was very light, which could be seen from the axle marks.

Xijing really deserves to be called the capital city. Jinmin County can clearly see that the commerce is not developed enough, but here there is no such sign. There are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and the price is much higher than Jinmin County, especially the special products from all over the country. times up.

Most of the delicacies brought by Ye Chen are not unique to Jinmin County, but they are relatively scarce goods in various places. The price is not low at all, and he picks out all high-quality varieties. The goods are not difficult to get, on the contrary, they are still very popular , but it is difficult to sell at a good price.

It is difficult for out-of-towners to eat in Xijing. This is true everywhere, not just in Kyoto. Price squeeze is not an isolated phenomenon.Fortunately, Ye Chen only asked Ye Chun and the others to bring a few samples out, and they were not forced to buy or sell. They just walked away from several mountain product buyers, and the prices were severely suppressed, and they were hit hard.

Ye Chen had Xiao Jin's contact information given by Yang Yun, but he didn't use it immediately.Relying on others for everything does not do him much good. He does not want to develop the habit of relying on others everywhere. Only when he owns can he really own.

Although finding a suitable buyer was not smooth, Ye Chun and the others were not discouraged, not to mention Ye Chen, he had no such idea at all, and if he traveled to more places, there would always be buyers of mountain products with fair prices.

Hard work paid off, and several people ran for three or four days in a row, almost running out of water in the cold weather, and finally found a mountain goods store that did not lower the price.

Ye Chen delivered most of the goods, and kept the rest for Xiao Jinyan.It's rare to come to the capital once, but don't even enter the door when you go to someone's land, it's a lack of etiquette.

Ye Chun and the others took the warm money that they had just received, and squinted their eyes with smiles.During this trip to Xijing, not only did they not contribute money, but they also made a fortune, which was something they had never even imagined before they came here.

Seeing that several people were troubled about what gifts to bring home, Ye Chen casually mentioned: "If you have spare money, buy some tea, and you can earn a lot of money by bringing them home."

Ye Chun and the others deeply agreed, and then each planned to leave.

The three Ye Wu brothers carried almost half of their wealth with them, and they could buy a lot of things without much trouble.

Ye Chun was a little bit stretched, looking at the street full of goods and worrying, this one can't be bought, that one can't afford it, after picking and choosing, he has nowhere to start, so he can only give up those eye-catching goods and go to the West Market .It's still the most affordable place here. Dongshi is a place enjoyed by rich and noble families. Don't be ashamed of him, a countryman who has just a little money.

Ye Chen had a lot of things to do, so he didn't follow Ye Chun and the others. Originally, he planned to buy all the goods first, but he overturned him before he started to take action. He decided to wait until he went to the jade market to see it before making a decision.

On this day, Ye Chen took a few brocade boxes and went out to visit Xu Yanqing's old friend.

Xu Yanqing's family contributed a lot to Xu Er old master's mansion being able to produce a concubine, but they didn't expect that when they succeeded, they would be kicked away and suppressed everywhere.

However, the foundation was still there. No matter how difficult it was, Xu Yanqing's family didn't sell out all the rare and precious things, and they still had some connections. The families who entrusted Ye Chen with gifts this time were all good friends of the family.

Ye Chen was noncommittal about this, and followed suit, and soon came to the nearest house, but the door was closed, and he was not even allowed to enter, let alone saw anyone, and the gift was naturally not sent.

"Jinmin County? I haven't heard of it. How could our master have such an old friend, go, go, hurry up."

You can see the whole leopard at a glance, the concierge is so powerful, he must be the same as any master, Ye Chen squinted his eyes, turned around and left without wasting any more words.

The attitude of the second family was very good. Ye Chen was invited in with good etiquette and served hot tea and snacks. He met the Lord soon after, and he gladly accepted the gift. He also asked him a lot about the situation of Yanqing's family. returned the gift.

"When will you leave, little friend?"

"Ten days later."

"Preparing the ceremony in a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be considerate. I don't know where the little friend is staying. Please let me know, so that the old man can make more preparations."

Ye Chen thought for a while, then said where he lived, and then took his leave with the return gift from Mr. Zhao. The old man sent him to the gate before returning.

Of course, Ye Chen would not think that Mr. Zhao always has a discerning eye and is a corporal. It is all for Xu Yanqing's family's face. He seems to really care about it. If he pretends, his acting skills are definitely at the level of a movie king.

The good mood didn't last long, Ye Chen received cold reception again, but this time he was not sent away, the other party's attitude was indifferent, but the gift was accepted.

Ye Chen didn't know what the return gift was, he didn't take it apart to read, but according to his impression of this family, it probably wouldn't be something good.

Ye Chen is not Xu Yanqing, no matter what the attitude of the other party is, as long as he has visited the door, the task will be considered as completed, and if he speaks rudely, he will leave at the worst. If he has a good attitude, just talk for a while, and he will not be happy or sad because of it.

After visiting five families in succession, only the Zhao family treated him as a guest, and another family had a good attitude, but it was a little less interesting than the Zhao family. Except for the first family, the other three families were all so-so. Obviously, as the Xu family lost power, the relationship Gradually indifferent.

But in Ye Chen's eyes, this result is already good.The husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately in the face of adversity, so the fact that their friendship was able to achieve two out of five is enough to prove that the Xu family has a good way of dealing with people.

The gifts that Xu Yanqing entrusted to Ye Chen were all expensive, and the quantity was so small that he could hold them with two hands. Obviously he was not smart enough, but he had to use a mule cart to return the gifts. In terms of quantity, Xu Yanqing was totally worth it. As for what Xu Yanqing felt after unpacking, Ye Chen didn't make any guesses.

After finishing the official business and bringing the gifts from various families to the residence, Ye Chen came to the jade market with ease.

Lucky Mall explained what Yuanyu was, but they didn't actually see it, and Ye Chen didn't know much about it.

The jade market is crowded with people, mostly spectators, and only a small number of buyers.If so, the business of each family is very prosperous, and the famous ones are making money day by day.

Ye Chen followed the flow of people into a mountain material shop, looking at the mountain of jade raw materials, he didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chen decided to start with the worst jade species. Once he had a direction, the next thing would become quite simple.After a while, he bought two pieces of jade that were similar to stones for a hundred dollars.

It's not yet time for the Lucky Mall to open again, but the basic functions are available at any time. With a thought, the price of the two pieces of jade appears in Ye Chen's mind. The piece of fifty Wen is seven ten thousandths of yuan jade.

After getting the result, Ye Chen bought two more pieces of higher-grade jade, this time the one with the higher price is more valuable in the Lucky Mall.

After so many attempts, Ye Chen came to the conclusion that the jade species determines the price range, but the same kind of water is not mainly distinguished by human beings, and it has nothing to do with the color at all.In other words, Lucky Mall's judgment criteria for jade prices are not completely consistent with others, and there are certain differences.

Ye Chen slightly closed his eyes and meditated. He has always had supernatural powers around him in the last days. Although the supernatural powers have completely dissipated now, there are still remnants of the meticulous perception of observation, and his senses are much sharper than ordinary people.

Ye Chen took out the two pieces of jade with the highest and lowest bids from the Lucky Mall he bought, and felt them carefully, which really made him notice a little difference.The piece worth 50 taels has a faint aura around its body, which makes people feel very comfortable, like the air after rain, which is extraordinarily fresh, but Ye Chen didn't feel anything about the other piece.

Later, Ye Chen took out another piece of high-value jade, which was very similar to the 50 taels piece, only slightly different.

After many attempts, Ye Chen found that he could perceive the unusualness of jade only when he concentrated his attention on it. At other times, jade was no different from other items in his eyes, no matter whether the value was high or low.

Aside from these, Ye Chen couldn't help frowning when he remembered that none of the products that appeared in the Lucky Mall had a price lower than one yuan jade.Calculated based on the ratio of the jade and silver taels he bought to yuan jade, one yuan jade is equivalent to about 1000 taels. He has made a lot of money in the past few months and his wealth has gradually increased, but he cannot afford such consumption.

What's more, Ye Chen is far away in Xijing, and the dividends from Yanjiu and the money from the tofu shop can't reach him for the time being. Even if you count the loans that Xu Yanqing took the initiative to lend before leaving, it's only 3000 taels, even if it's all exchanged for jade, it's only worth three yuan Jade, I'm unlucky, I'm afraid I can't afford even one commodity.

It seems that making money is imminent.

Knowing this, Ye Chen didn't intend to continue, and walked along the jade market, preparing to leave through another exit.

Walking, Ye Chen was attracted by a shop.There were so many people there that it was hard for him not to notice.

After stopping to listen, Ye Chen immediately knew what was going on.It turns out that this shop sells rough jade stones. The difference from the shop he entered before is that the rough jade stones sold here are very special. They are wrapped in a stone shell, and it is impossible to tell whether there is jade inside or not with the naked eye.

Isn't this gambling stone?Ye Chen became interested.I don't know whether the legacy left to him after the power dissipated - surpassing the senses of ordinary people, is also applicable to this kind of all-gambling jade.

As the saying goes, one knife is poor and one knife is rich. To be on the safe side, Ye Chen decided to pick a rough stone of about ten taels to try his hand.

Feeling the aura emanating from jade requires concentration. It’s okay if the time is short, but if you take a long time, you may feel dizzy. The most stupid method can be used to check the ones that are pleasing to the eye one by one.

It is not an easy task to distinguish the jade materials, and it will be even more troublesome if it is blocked by the outer skin. Ye Chen only hopes that the outer shell of the rough stone will not completely isolate the breath, otherwise his busy work will be useless.

Ye Chen didn't feel any abnormality after looking at more than a dozen yuan in a row. He was a little bit out of energy at this time, and he reckoned that he had to stop after looking at three or four yuan, otherwise it would be a joke to faint on the spot.

After a short rest, Ye Chen continued.This time, he only picked out the big jade stone with good eyesight. Anyway, the consumption is about the same, so it's better to try it boldly.

According to his speculation, there are only a few situations where he can perceive this kind of big man, either the skin is thin and the jade is close to the edge, or the jade is of high value, even if it is hidden deep inside the stone, the outer skin cannot stop the escape. aura.

Of course, this is just Ye Chen's idea, if the outer skin is completely isolated from the jade breath, that's another matter.

One piece, another piece, until the limit was reached, Ye Chen didn't get anything, and was about to leave, when there was a noise from the stone gambling area next door.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Xiao? How come you come to this place where you're "playing things and losing your mind" when you have time?"

There was a sudden ridicule, and the surname Xiao mentioned inside made Ye Chen stop.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Qi Xu indifferently, and didn't answer at all, looking at the car full of raw stones in front of him, he frowned.

"Are you looking down on people or something?" Qi Xu was impatient, his eyes glanced at the car full of rough stones, and he smiled immediately, not to be too gloating, "Dare to make such a big deal before you get started, you have a big heart, don't be disappointed Go home and cry for your father and mother."

A group of rich and noble children beside Qi Xu followed suit, and the laughter continued in an instant.

Yan Heng was only a little slow in choosing stones, and seeing his cousin being ridiculed in this way, he immediately threw the rough stones in his hand on the small cart, and retorted: "I have money, so I can buy as much as I like." Speaking of this , Yan Heng paused for a moment, and looked at Qi Xu with disdain, "If you don't have money, don't play this game, go home as soon as possible and ask your old lady for milk."

Xiao Jinyan couldn't hold back her somewhat gloomy face, and chuckled lightly.Not to mention anything else about his cousin, there are really few people who can stand up to that sharp mouth, especially because he is thick-skinned, usually he is fine, he also wants to save face, once he is angered, he will ignore it and swear What the heck, it's nothing new to just roll up your arms and sleeves to fight, and the job of a dude is quite fulfilling.

"You, you..." Qi Xu blushed and was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Cong next to him couldn't see it, and chimed in, "Yan Heng, Xiao Jinyan didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry?"

"Oh, you think so? Then what are you, a dog meddling with a mouse?" Yan Heng rolled his eyes skyward.

Seeing that one's own side is no match for the other side's lip service, and it is about to turn into a martial arts practice after three quarrels, Zhou Hao glanced at it and stood aside, seemingly indifferent, but in fact, Xiao Jinyan, who was ready to help at any time, Measuring the strength of the two sides, it is determined that although there are many people on the side, it does not have much advantage, and maybe it will be counterattacked. With a turn of the eyes, I immediately had an idea: "This is a stone gambling shop, it is not suitable to use force, how about this, When our subordinates see the real chapter, we will judge whether we win or lose by betting on stones. Whoever wins the jade will be considered the winner. The bet is limited to 5000 taels for the rough stones bet on both sides."

Yan Heng folded his arms around his chest and snorted, "Hey, it's a good plan for so many veterans to bully me, a rookie."

"Don't be a bitch, it's still a man, just a word, bet or not to bet." Qi Xu learned his lesson, did not compete with each other in words, and directly said the words to death.

"Okay." Yan Heng deserved to be extremely straightforward.

Now, not only Qi Xu and his party looked sideways, but even the audience who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal were quite surprised.No one expected that Yan Heng would jump into it knowingly that there was a fraud, and Xiao Jinyan, who had never been involved in gambling, did not object, which was far beyond everyone's expectations.

You know, Qi Xu and the others ran against the aggressive generals just to save some face, and they didn't have much hope for Yan Heng to take over the bet.But after being surprised, they were immediately happy, it was just what they wanted, quarreling was no good, fights were impossible, no matter how poor they were in betting on stones, they were better than the two rookies who didn't even know where the door was open, let alone them The level of stone gambling is not weak, and it is not easy to win two novices?

After the bet was agreed, the two parties immediately began to select rough stones.

Because there was no set price, as long as the total price of the rough stones purchased did not exceed 5000 taels, Qi Xu tried his best to pick high-priced rough stones.Of course, the ones with low prices are not missed. While quality is important, quantity must also be taken into account. After all, stone gambling is too dependent on luck. You should be more careful.

Regarding the cautious behavior of Qi Xu and others, Xiao Jinyan was noncommittal. He just gave Yan Heng a sideways glance, then turned his head and said to the person beside him: "Chang Bo, this kid Yan Heng will cause trouble, you should take it easy."

"It's okay, Master Heng has the right temperament." Chang Jiu stroked his beard and joined in with a smile.

"Master, cheating over there." The attendant in charge of transporting saw Chang Jiu, and his tone rose unconsciously.

"Cheating?" Qi Xu got up and followed the eyes of his followers, frowning, "Who is this person, why does he feel kind?"

"Chang Jiu, master stone gambler, the young master should have seen it."

Hearing this, Qi Xu couldn't help yelling: "Good job Yan Heng, you're cheating."

"No, I'm acting according to the bet." Yan Heng smiled like a cat that stole the fish, and he couldn't be happier.A bunch of idiots, I really thought that the young master was so stupid that he was just playing tricks on them.

Gaining wisdom from a ditch, Qi Xu and the others decided to hold back for the time being, and ordered a few words from each of them, but after a while, there were less than a dozen people in the stone gambling shop, and they knew without thinking, they must go back to rescue soldiers .

"Hurry up, I'll wait until the sun goes down at most, I won't wait when it's over." Yan Heng had an air of "a little man's success", no matter how you look at it, it's not flattering.

Qi Xu, who has the most violent temper, almost confronted Yan Heng again, and it took him a while to suppress his anger.Just wait and see, don't think that Yan Heng is the only one who has helpers, they are not bad either.

Yan Heng put on a high posture, but he didn't know what to do. After picking a piece, he walked to Xiao Jinyan's side: "Ziqing, do you want to invite two more masters?"

Chang Jiu also meant the same thing. It wasn't that he overwhelmed his prestige with others' ambition, but that he was hard to beat with two fists and four hands. More people didn't necessarily mean greater strength, but there were more people of the same level. With brainstorming, the possibility of defeating them was extremely high.

"It's okay, if you lose, you lose, but it's only 5000 taels. It's a shame to go back and send reinforcements." Xiao Jinyan said nothing, and the words were as poisonous.

Is it wrong to co-author them?Qi Xu and the others almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

But it’s just that, Yanheng’s party didn’t put back the rough stones he picked because of the bet, but kept going, but he basically took rough stones that were just in the early [-] taels, and he was able to pick big ones, with a hatchback. Contrast, compete with each other.

Ye Chen watched it with great interest, so he simply didn't leave, and mingled with the crowd of onlookers to watch the play.

Qi Xu and the others were quite neat in their entourage. Within half an hour, they were all found. There were three of them in total. Xiao Jinyan and the others were not familiar with them. One of them is on par with him, and the other is slightly better. It seems that it is not easy to win this bet.

The peers were jealous of each other, and the two sides were in a hostile position. After the friendly greeting, the three stone gamblers who helped support each other immediately took their positions.

Chang Jiu also put all his heart into it, ignoring external things.He discussed with Xiao Jinyan, he chose 3000 taels of rough stones, and the remaining 2000 taels were given to the pure novice Yan Henghua.

It is said that newcomers are lucky, but sometimes they are not sure. It is with this idea that Chang Jiu agreed so neatly.

Chang Jiu thought so, but Yan Heng obviously didn't think so.Finally, taking advantage of the old man's birthday and preparing gifts, he had to enter the stone gambling shop. He is not addicted, so when will he be waiting?

Isn't it just 5000 taels?He and Ziqing share one share, but each is two thousand and five. Before, he would feel that his hands were heavy, but now he is supported by the dividends of Yanjiu, and he can make up for it soon.Besides, it is not certain who wins and who loses, otherwise, what is it called betting on stones?

The more he thought about it, the more Yan Heng felt that this was the case. His gambling luck has never been bad, and he hoped that this one would still be popular.

Even so, Yan Heng still went all out to choose the rough stones that he thought would produce jade, and he didn't ask the servants around him to intervene, he had to carry them himself. In the whole stone gambling shop, he was the busiest person, going back and forth without a stop when.

Picking another piece, Yan Heng was about to continue, but was stopped by Mo Yan: "Master Heng, it will be too much to pick any more."

Yan Heng is not satisfied yet: "I picked so many?"

"Yes."

Yan Heng did not give up, struggled to the death, and counted the price one by one. The result was quite disappointing. The total was more than 900 taels. He was about to stop, but suddenly he felt lucky. In the area, several rough stones were brought back in one fell swoop, and his spirit was so high.

Mo Yan calculated, not too much, not too little, exactly 2000 taels, he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes.Every time he met Young Master Heng, there was always something that made people laugh, and this time it almost made him laugh until his mouth cramped.

Yan Heng didn't know how to gamble with stones, and he didn't have any psychological burden, so it would be quick to pick up rough stones.

The four stone gamblers including Chang Jiu couldn't do this. Even if they were full of self-confidence and involved large transactions, especially under such attention, it was basically impossible to have no scruples. Heng Xinjin was about to pass, and he wanted to open his mouth to untie his rough stone first, and the last one could finish the work.

With such a big commotion, the shopkeeper was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, so he invited the owner out long before the situation escalated further.

Seeing that the climax was about to come, Boss Wang came forward to lead people to the backyard of the shop.At this moment, the stone interpreters with the most superb skills are already in place, and they only need to wait for the rough stone to be opened as soon as it arrives.

The other distinguished guests have no objection, this kind of good show is not always staged. 5000 taels of silver is not a small amount of money, even if you come from a wealthy family, it is not too much to get out at once, not to mention spending it on gambling stones, their affairs can be put aside, it is important to watch the excitement.

As the stone-cleaning knife fell, the stone chips flew, everyone held their breaths and concentrated, and some of them were red-faced, short of breath, and looked more nervous than the person involved, and they looked like gambling addicts.

Ye Chen mixed in with the crowd of onlookers, watching Master Jie Shi's forehead dripping with sweat, he deeply felt that it was not easy to make a living in any line of work.

That's all, what surprised Ye Chen was the audience's participation in the show. When the bet went up, he was amazed, and when the bet fell, he was sighed. Especially when the bet went up and down, the crowd was even more excited.At times like this, even those lords who are either rich or expensive put down their airs and cheered and sighed together, which is really amazing.

This reminded him of casinos. I'm afraid gambling with stones is not much inferior, maybe even worse. After such a comparison, Ye Chen immediately expressed his understanding.

"Jade has come out."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

The stone interpreter poured some water on the cut surface, saw a little green, immediately put down the stone knife and began to rub the stone.When all the jade meat from the incision is exposed, the commotion will soon subside. There is no one else, because the quality of the jade is not very good. According to the price of this rough stone, it is still between the ups and downs. can reveal.

But no matter what, it was a good start, Qi Xu lifted his chin slightly, looked at Yan Heng with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yan Heng curled his lips, what's there to be proud of, isn't it just a piece of broken emerald jade, it's not worth a lot of money, and he will be able to solve something better than this in a while.

It's a pity that things backfired. Apart from the small increase in the first piece of green jade, Qi Xu's side immediately produced two more pieces of jade, all of which rose sharply.

Qi Xu was even more arrogant, Yan Heng was furious when he saw it, and wished he could sew his mouth shut.

Why are you laughing, there are only a dozen or so rough stones in Qi Xu's side, most of which are expensive, if you can't even sell half of them, the three stone gamblers can go home and eat themselves, this time it's just luck Just better.

Wait and see, he still has 30 to [-] yuan left, Yan Heng doesn't believe that he won't give out even a single piece of jade.

As a result, one piece of gambling was lost, and Yan Heng wondered if his gambling luck had gone bad, or why the rough stones he picked out were full of stone scum?

Chang Jiu shook his head, it seemed that it was a waste of time to hope that the newcomer would be lucky, as the scraps could prove it.After sighing, Chang Jiu also felt that he was under a lot of pressure. His chances of winning against the three alone were not high, and the price of the rough stone he picked was 2000 taels less than the opponent, which was a bit troublesome.

Yan Heng was fussing aside, Xiao Jinyan was much calmer, it seemed that no matter whether the bet went up or down, it would not affect him.

Out of the corner of Ye Chen's eyes, he glanced at a few people. From Xiao Jinyan's performance alone, he couldn't tell whether he didn't care about money, or whether he had good concentration and cultivated energy well.

Perhaps it was both, Ye Chen didn't look at Xiao Jinyan, and soon fell back to the scene of the stone.

Xu was much disappointed, and Yan Heng didn't get surprised again after losing bets one after another.Unexpectedly, after being quiet for a while, he started yelling excitedly again, why do you think?It's out of jade.

Yan Heng immediately despised the ridicule he received just now, and returned it intact. He smiled at the group headed by Qi Xu, and threw a flower seed on it, which would surely bloom.

"Tch, isn't it just a piece of white jade? I paid out several yuan, and two of them have risen sharply. I am so happy with just such a small piece of broken jade. I really don't know much." Qi Xu said with disdain in his heart.

Yan Heng didn't care, he was enjoying himself.

"Huh?" Just when everyone had seen too much good jade and was not interested in this piece of white jade with poor texture, and some interest was fading, the stone interpreter let out a small cry, which immediately shocked the hearts of the surrounding audience.

Even two rare pieces of fine jade were produced, and none of the stone calculators changed their expressions. How could this unusual performance not attract people's attention?

"Then what's the matter with Master Jieshi? Isn't it just ordinary white jade, why should he be so careful?"

"I don't know about this either. It's too far away to see clearly. Perhaps Master Jie Shi saw something different."

"is it?"

"Otherwise what do you think?"

"Okay, stop arguing and watch carefully."

Everyone silently silenced, watching Master Jie Shi's every move.

After pondering for a while, Master Jieshi moved the originally drawn Jieshi line outward, cut an irregular square with a Jieshi knife, and then began to rub the stone little by little.

Everyone waited anxiously, but they didn't see the name. Master Xie Shi was so good at whetting people's appetites. He didn't start from the incision where the jade was first produced, but started from the two sides where there was still a lot of skin. It was really anxious.

The most urgent one is Yan Heng, if he is not still concerned about his face, he may be scratching his head at this moment, even though he has lost all manners long ago.

No matter how long the waiting time was, there would be a moment when it was over. After the other stone interpreters unraveled several rough stones successively, the previous stone interpreter finally unveiled the mystery of white jade under the eager anticipation of everyone.

Everyone gasped, and many of them stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Suet white jade!"

"It's still so big, it's going up, it's going up!"

"It's comparable to the two yuan that Young Master Qi raised before. It seems that this competition is over. Master Chang Jiu hasn't even solved one of the original stones yet."

"You can't say that. Young Master Qi still has a few dollars left to solve. According to the previous ratio, the chances of winning are great."

"Are you sure? Two out of a dozen yuan has gone up so much. Boss Wang may regret selling it to them now. How good it is to keep it for himself. If you want to pay a few more yuan, Boss Wang may even have the heart to jump into a well." gone."

"Since that's the case, why do you conclude that Young Master Yan will always be lucky?"

Talking, talking, the two argued.But at the moment, there was a lot of noise in the quarry, and no one had time to pay attention to them, so it didn't cause a commotion.

Unexpectedly, Yan Heng was so lucky, the complacency on Qi Xu's face dropped a lot, and he immediately ordered Master Xie Shi to continue.

I don't know why, the luck of the two sides of the gambling fight today was against the sky. It was okay at the beginning, but Qi Xu's luck was high. In terms of color, the value of the jade produced is quite tight.

In this way, when you chase after each other, after all the rough stones are solved, the two sides will be evenly matched, which is difficult.Due to the huge value, according to preliminary estimates, the jade materials released by the two parties are worth about 2 taels each. If the jade ornaments are sold, the price will be at least several percent higher, or even doubled.

Both sides couldn't help but hesitated, thinking whether to fight to the end and invite a highly respected stone gambler to referee in this industry, or let it go and end in a draw.

Boss Wang stepped forward to congratulate, but smiled reluctantly.It's good that the store has high-quality jade materials. I'm afraid it will be full of customers for a long time, but if it's too good, it's like gouging out his flesh. His heart is bleeding.

Since then, the sound of joy has continued.

Soon, the quarry was surrounded by spectators who heard the news.

No one noticed that Ye Chen quietly approached the rough stone waste.
