Chapter 18: Letting go of grudges with a smile is worth a thousand dollars
Next to the bearded booth.
Lan Xiaohe's breathing was rapid, her face was red, her bun was wet with sweat, and she looked very excited.
Her eyes were fixed on the raw ore cut by the master of calculus. When the cut surface was washed by water, it turned into a flash of crystal green.
"Damn it! It's full of green ice again!"
More and more people gathered around, and they immediately exclaimed when they saw Izuru.
"Girl, I will pay you one thousand taels of silver. Can you sell this stone to me?"
Some new onlookers eagerly bid, but were laughed at by those around them.
"Haha, Lao Wang, with so many people watching here, do you think you can still find something missing? If this girl is willing to sell it, I will pay three thousand taels."
The speaker was teasing and looking at Xianlan Xiaohe expectantly.
"I'm sorry, I can't make the decision. Master, go on, use full force."
Lan Xiaohe didn't even look back.
At this moment, she suddenly understood the madness of those stone bettors.
Obviously these are not her stones, originally she just wanted to complete the things that the adult told her to do.
But when she watched the stone being cut piece by piece, watched the value of the originally ordinary and even ugly stone rise sharply in an instant, and listened to the higher and higher bids from people around her, her heart still couldn't help but surge.
"okay."
The arms of the two stone-cutting masters, who were originally a little sore and swollen, were also refreshed after seeing the green color. Without hesitation, they took a special saw and crunched on the stone. The stone powder quickly piled up on the ground to form a hill.
As masters of stone interpretation, if their employer offers good jade, they can also receive a big red envelope.
Moreover, this industry is quite superstitious. They have produced so many good jade stones one after another. In order to get good luck, other people will also take the initiative to invite them to help analyze stones.
It is foreseeable that their income will start to skyrocket in the coming days. The only worry is whether their arms can withstand such high-intensity work.
The bearded stall owner's expression changed from mockery to shock, and now he felt as disgusted and uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He never expected that every stone picked out by the stupid-looking young man would rise sharply.
It is true that these stones have been sold, and whether they gain or lose has nothing to do with him.
But that bastard wanted to unravel the stone in front of him.
He regretted it a bit.
These treasures were all sold from him. If he opened it himself, he would be the one making a lot of money now.
There are a total of seven pieces of raw ore, five of which have been opened. The lowest piece is worth more than a thousand taels. All the costs are directly earned back, and the rest is pure profit.
The thought of others making a lot of money is even more uncomfortable than his own losses!
"Hey, bearded man, stop looking at me helplessly. No matter how you look at me, it's not yours."
Yu Xian didn't know when he appeared next to Big Beard, with an attitude of being so angry that he wouldn't pay for his life.
Yulan followed behind, covering her mouth and snickering, feeling that her father was really a child.
The bearded man glanced at Yu Xian, his face was stinky, but after struggling a few times, he still sighed:
"You're so stupid, I can't see the real person. I had a bad mouth just now. I apologize to you."
Yu Xian exclaimed softly: "Big Beard, you can't bear the beating. Why did you fall down before I even exerted any force?"
The bearded man snorted coldly: "A certain family has always said that if you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others. If you are good, I will admit defeat.
If you still want to humiliate me, then tell me clearly, I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. "
"Tsk, bearded man, I didn't expect you to be quite cute."
"We don't know each other anymore. My name is Yu Xian. Have you asked me for advice?"
Yu Xian is not a person who holds on to trivial matters. Now that the bearded man has relented and his anger has calmed down, he will naturally stop fussing with him and instead plans to make friends.
"Lu Yuan."
The bearded man was reluctant to take Yu Xian's outstretched hand, which seemed a bit arrogant.
Yu Xian couldn't help laughing, and put his arm on the bearded man's shoulder, looking like the two brothers were getting along well.
"Little brother Lu, don't say that I don't take care of you as a brother. These jadeite came from you. If you want it, I will sell it to you in a package."
Despite Lu Yuan's beard, Yu Xian could tell that this man was actually very young and deliberately grew a beard to pretend to be mature.
Lu Yuan slapped Yu Xian's hand away and said unconvinced: "You look like you are only in your early twenties. I am already twenty-five years old. Why do you think you are my brother?"
Yu Xian touched his face and said sadly: "Am I going to say that I am over thirty when I meet everyone?"
If he were still young, he would never think of dying and retiring in the mortal world. Instead, he would continue to stay in the world of immortality and strive for a chance of immortality.
Of course, that way, he probably wouldn't have discovered his golden finger. After all, it was rumored that the boy's body was a blessing for cultivating immortals.
"Ah?" Lu Yuan said dumbfounded: "I have always heard that there is someone with a childlike appearance, but I didn't expect to see it today. Did you lie to me?"
"If it wasn't true, who would be willing to let himself age by ten years and let those young and lovely girls call him uncle?"
Yu Xian sighed, and suddenly remembered the scene in his previous life when he was single for almost thirty years and was called uncle by a female classmate while passing by school.
Damn, I've never been in love before, so I'm just an uncle.
Lu Yuan heard that it made sense, but completely ignored that he had become his younger brother for no reason.
"The jadeite water that comes out is very good. If you are willing to sell it to me, I will not take advantage of you. I will buy it all at the market price."
No one dislikes having too much good jade, and he can make a small profit just by changing hands. Now that the market is so hot, he doesn't have to worry about keeping it in his hands.
"Brother Lu is a cheerful person. In this case, that piece of jade is cheaper for me."
Yu Xiantu saw it with a knife and stabbed Lu Yuan's aorta.
Lu Yuan's face froze on the spot.
So sloppy!
If he was asked to refuse at this time, he had no spare time to be shameless, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it, making the sound sound like it was squeezed out.
"Okay, I'll give you 9.20% off."
"It's smaller, the structure is smaller, little brother Lu, we are not a one-size-fits-all business. Think about the place you are not familiar with. How can I not take care of you when you come to Changning City in the future?"
The discount you give me now is not just a simple discount, it is your pass and talisman in the future. "
"I have a guard..."
"What's the use of a guard? How can a man in the world fight against someone in the officialdom? There are people above me who can even see the prince casually."
"My father knows the Lord in the Sheriff's Mansion."
"Your father's connections are not your connections. If you want to become bigger and stronger, and if you want to be independent and self-reliant, you can't always rely on your father.
Knowing me is proof that you are strong enough to take your first step. "
Lu Yuan was told that his beard was curling up and up, as if he saw himself returning home gloriously, and his father sighed with emotion that his son had grown up.
Fortunately, he still maintains his due sanity.
"How much do you want?"
"Just give me a 20% discount."
"no!"
Lu Yuan suddenly woke up. If he dared to give him a 20% discount, his biological father would dare to give him a discount on his legs.
"Then how much do you want to say?"
Yu Xian looked like he couldn't do anything to you.
Lu Yuan felt a little ashamed when he saw it, feeling that he was a petty person.
"Nine point five... 10% off! I'll give you 10% off at most!"
He almost cried.
"No problem! The money will be given to you later."
Yu Xian clapped his hands and concluded the deal on the spot.
