There are many jewelry and jade shops in Baobaodi, which originated from the abundant mineral resources in Cangzhou Mountains. The most famous one is "He's Jade". There is such a saying, "He's jade is made in Shaozhou", which means that the most popular jade is produced in Cangzhou, and the one with the best workmanship is undoubtedly Shaozhou. Therefore, these two states naturally have the most rough stones.
There are stacks of stalls in front of the jade shop, and the rough stones of various colors and sizes are so densely packed that onlookers can only describe it as if they were blocked by water. The rough stone in front of you may contain priceless jade. If a very rare jadeite of excellent quality appears with one cut, the buyer can become rich; but the wool bought at a high price may just be a piece of rotten stone. Losing everything is the only outcome.
"Betting on jade" is like gambling, but the benefits and risks brought by gambling on jade are much higher than gambling. Therefore, now that you can earn "the more the better" money in just a few hours, gambling on jade is indeed a good choice. However, experts can still capsize in the gutter. Can Tianyin, who has no such experience, have smooth sailing just by luck?
Miss Shen didn't believe it, so she followed Tian Yin closely, and didn't even catch up to deal with the "bad-mouthed brother"; Tian Yin didn't believe it either, because his confidence did not come from illusory feelings, but from him. Know that you can do this and be successful. If we must explore why this is the case, we can only say that when Tianyin and Yinhu merged into one and accepted the old man who was trapped in "nothing" and refused to come out, in addition to changes in appearance and body shape, knowledge, experience, and experience There is also an incredible surge.
Therefore, even though it was the first time for Tianyin to see a rough jade stone, he still knew what kind of rough stone could produce "high green", that is, high-grade jade.
"Miss Shen, what we are looking for is Black Wu Shapi," Tian Yin turned to the curious Miss Shen and said.
Miss Shen looked at Tian Yin, as if she wanted to see something in his eyes, "Just call me Lin'er", then she looked at the rough stones of different shapes and colors, and said, "There are so many stones, where can I see them?" Is the seed the 'black shapi' you mentioned?"
Tianyin pointed to a rough stone not far away and said: "Look at that piece, the outer skin is black and full of pits, like a sand nest. Together they are called 'black black sand skin'. Generally, this kind of rough stone is the most It¡¯s easy to have a green heart, and if you¡¯re lucky, jade may appear.¡±
Although the Shen family does not deal in jade and jewelry, Miss Shen still has some understanding of it. She naturally knows how much jade is worth, and it is not difficult to know from Tian Yin's words that this person is not as bad as "the foul-mouthed brother". A dandy boy with no skills. Perhaps, Tian Yin could really do what he asked for. Thinking of this, Miss Shen couldn't help but be full of expectations for Tian Yin's next actions.
"Then let's go buy that rough stone. It's so easy." Miss Shen felt like she had been cheated. It seemed that Tian Yin had known about this method for a long time, so she was angry with herself. Come on, I'm afraid I won't really apologize to him. This is obviously a defeat without force!
"It's so easy to stop calling it 'gambling on jade.'" Tian Yin laughed as he walked to the stall with the "black black sand skin" on display, "Is it possible to buy this stone for two hundred and twelve cents? ?¡± The answer can only be asked to the owner of the stall, ¡°Boss, how much does this stone cost?¡±
The owner of the stall was a fat middle-aged man wearing a dog-skin hat. He was half asleep and confused. After listening to Tianyin's words, he opened his fat eyelids with difficulty. How could these eyes be so sharp? He glanced at Tianyin like a black gold sword. The strange thing was that the fat man did not show any disdain because of Tianyin's trembling clothes. Instead, he replied respectfully: "If the young master is interested, this is the price." The boss made a "five" sign with his fat hand.
"Fifty thousand taels?" Tianyin naturally knew that the reason why this piece of rough stone was lying leisurely under the lazy sun was definitely because its asking price was too high, and ordinary "fishermen" did not dare to sell it.
Sure enough, the fat boss laughed loudly when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face were trembling, "Young master is indeed a knowledgeable person, that's what I mean, hahahahaha!"
Tian Yin shook the copper coins in his sleeves, and after a long while, he looked at the fat boss seriously and said, "I have two hundred and twelve coins, and I will give you two hundred coins. Do you want to sell it?" "
"Pfft!" Miss Shen almost choked on her spit. Just now she thought Tian Yin was quite capable. How could she become so unreliable in an instant? Someone asked for 50,000 taels of silver, and if you could pay back only 10,000 taels, you were already capable, yet you actually just offered to give them copper coins! Copper coins are just copper coins. How can you only give 200 copper coins from 50 million copper coins?
???????????? Miss Shen¡¯s pretty eyes were wide open, looking straight at Tianyin, probably trying to pull him away so as not to lose this person, right? Strangely, the fat boss didn¡¯t look unhappy after hearing Tianyin¡¯s words. Instead, he looked at the ¡°farm boy¡± in front of him seriously., staring without saying a word.
"Actually, you can't tell anything by looking at it. It's really my fault that I didn't put some dust on my face and got some dirt on my body and feet." Tianyin spoke first, and he said something like self-deprecation, "I I want to show my weakness and try to fish in troubled waters, but unfortunately my boss is really shrewd, so what I did was a bit rude, I hope my boss will forgive me!"
The fat boss smiled and gently stroked a few sparse hairs on his chin, "Young Master is very smart."
"So I choose to tell the truth in front of my boss."
"Since the young master is so smart, he should know that the request he made is impossible, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe this stone isn't even worth two hundred coins!"
Hearing this, the fat boss felt sweat on his forehead. Maybe the dog-skin hat was too hot. He got up from the rattan reclining chair, bowed his waist and said, "The little one's name is Shi Yu, and everyone here calls him Xiao." My fat jade, I wonder what you call me?"
Hearing this, Miss Shen felt something strange. Why was this fat man so polite to Tian Yin? You can't be considered a "gongzi" if you dress in such a vulgar way, right? The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. He tugged on Tianyin's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Hey, hey, hey, why is that person nodding and bowing to you? Have you known each other before?"
Hearing this, Tian Yin couldn't help but laugh. Miss Shen is such a delicate and pretty person, and her expression, behavior, temperament, and clothing all reflect her identity and status, but he, a "farm boy" who wears dirty clothes, can't help but laugh. But he was walking side by side with this rich young lady, talking and laughing, obviously his relationship was unusual. So just thinking with your toes, you can tell that this "farm boy" is naturally not an ordinary person, so a person like the fat boss could spot Tianyin's tricks at a glance, but he just didn't reveal it out of caution. Of course, it would be a bit cumbersome to tell Miss Shen all these words.
Therefore, there is only one sentence, "With Lin'er by my side, I am naturally a young master. Since I am a young master, it is not surprising that the fat boss is more polite to me, hahahaha!"
"Hmph!" Miss Shen finally knew the reason and felt a little lost. She snorted and turned away and ignored Tianyin.
"Boss Shi, my name is not important. What is important is whether you can sell me this piece of black sand leather for two hundred coins?" Tianyin was happy that Miss Shen was having an awkward moment, so she could continue the topic with the fat boss.
Boss Shi stared at Tianyin with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "Since the young master knows that this rough stone is black black sand skin, he will naturally know how high the probability of producing high-quality jade from this kind of rough stone is, and it may be high risk. It¡¯s so small, how can the price be so low?¡±
"Boss Shi, you must have been immersed in this art for many years. Do you know how to tell whether there is beauty in the rough stone?"
The fat boss took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, held up his slightly crooked dog-skin hat, pointed at the large and small rough stones in front of him and said, "If you can tell, 'gambling on jade' is no longer 'gambling on jade.'" . Even an expert can only make a rough judgment based on the color, shape, and sand pattern of the surface, or by tapping and hearing the sound. The rest is mostly up to fate. Could it be that the young master knows a method that the younger one has never heard of? If this is the case, Master Wanwang will not hesitate to teach you. As long as what you say is true, I will let you take all the rough stones here and I will never regret it!"
Tian Yin smiled and said: "This method is simple, just cut it open and take a look. How can it be so troublesome? Hahahahahaha!"
"Hehehehe, the young master is really funny. I think he knows that there is an unwritten rule in this small business. The rough stone cannot be cut open before it is owned by the owner. Even if you have a new owner, you can only open one if you want to inspect the goods. A small window less than half an inch." The fat boss was really very patient. He explained to Tianyin and gestured with his hands.
"There is no jade in this stone, Boss Shi, do you believe it or not?"
There were originally a lot of people around the rough stone pavilion, but Tian Yin and Miss Shen stood here for a long time, so some good people gathered around to watch the excitement. Tianyin's words were like thunder on the ground, immediately causing a commotion among the people around him. After all, no "fishing" person dared to speak so categorically. Could it be that this young man in disguise really had some information? If true, this rare experience is priceless.
There were more and more people watching, wanting to find out what was going on. Soon Boss Shi¡¯s stall was surrounded so much that even a fly couldn¡¯t fly in. Although Miss Shen didn't like being watched, her curiosity drove her to stay where she was. Tian Yin didn't mind and looked at the fat boss provocatively.
"Since you know this, why do you want to pay for it? If it is just a piece of rotten stone, it must be worthless. Is there any other good intentions in this? Can you please tell me the truth? I will thank you very much. Young Master!" Boss Shi is indeed shrewd and his words are impeccable. The fat boss is doubtful. After all, this unidentified young man has not even touched him.A piece of black sand-peel, can he know what's in the stone just by looking at it?
Tianyin was still smiling, touching the rough stone calmly, looking at the fat boss and saying: "Boss Shi will naturally know if what I said is right or not if he cuts it open, why bother asking? It¡¯s just that Boss Shi is a businessman, and businessmen value profits. Even if it¡¯s a piece of rotten stone, I¡¯m sure he won¡¯t throw it away in vain. So I paid two hundred yuan to secure Boss Shi¡¯s business profits. It¡¯s just a gift. What should I do? I don¡¯t know Shi. Does the boss have any concerns?"
