Chapter 2224: Ancient Street Gambling Stone 2
Leng Xuan looked straight and nodded. The middle-aged man's craftsmanship was very good. A small knife flew on the emerald stone as quickly and accurately as his hand. Every knife was just right, and not a single movement was superfluous. After watching it for a few minutes, the middle-aged man quickly moved his right hand and yanked it away, and the emerald green stone in his hand had also transformed into a crystal clear tiger. Although the tiger was small, its face and stature But lifelike, as if real.
The middle-aged man's craftsmanship immediately attracted applause from the audience. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, then stood up and said, "There is a certain chance that these stones contain jadeite, and the quality is from low to high. Of course, It also depends on your luck and vision. If you buy a stone with jade in it, then I can carve it for you for free without any charge." As soon as his voice fell, several onlookers immediately became interested. , began to lean down and look inside those stones.
Not long after, a few willing customers chose a small stone and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man weighed it in the palm of his hand, then stretched out three fingers and said, "Three thousand." The people in the hall couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so expensive?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Everyone, this price is already very cheap. If jade can be cut out of it, then the cost of 3,000 yuan will immediately double or even dozens of times. It's more than double. As the saying goes, if you don't gamble on stones, how do you know if you have such luck?" Although his words are reasonable, many people still cannot accept this price. A stone this small is so expensive, and if it were bigger, it would cost tens of thousands. And, with bad luck, so much money would be a waste of money. This idea suddenly made many people give up the idea of playing a game.
The middle-aged man didn't care about it, and the customer who asked for 3,000 hesitated for a while, then he readily took out 30 banknotes from the bag and handed them to the middle-aged man. After taking the money, the middle-aged man smiled and immediately fixed the stone on the cutting machine. Then choose a cut surface, sprinkle a little water, and start to slowly press the cutter down. Although Leng Xuan didn't know much about this kind of thing, he knew a thing or two. There are several types of betting stones like this, one is called full bet and the other is called half bet. The so-called full bet is a stone, and there is no emerald green on the outside. You can only judge whether there is jade in the stone based on experience and eyes. And half gambling, that is, a certain surface of the stone will appear a thin layer of green. Like the kind of green stone, the probability of cutting jade is much higher than that of the full bet stone. Of course, the price is naturally much more expensive.
At this moment, the middle-aged man is controlling the cutter to cut into the middle of the stone little by little. Stones like this kind of full bet, especially this kind of small stone, are generally cut directly from the middle, so that it can quickly determine whether there is jade in it. If it is the kind of big stone of hundreds of thousands or millions, then you must be careful with the knife. The first is to wipe the edge, that is, cut from the side of the stone, and only cut a small piece to see if there will be green inside. If it is green, it is very likely that there will be a whole piece of jade inside the stone. If it is cut directly from the middle, the jade will be cut in half, and the value will be reduced a lot.
