Chapter One Thousand and Forty
There are four fathers and sons (female), and they only chose more than a thousand catties of woolen materials. More than two thousand taels of silver were thrown out, and it didn't feel bad at all.
Among the onlookers, many people have already come to the woolen materials, choosing the ones that are not big and look pleasing to the eye - for these stone gamblers, it's just a matter of picking which one has the eye - it's all about luck .
The Burmese youth received the money, grinned wider, and asked with a smile: "How many of you are really my nobles! Dare I ask you, can these woolen materials be untied?"
"I don't understand these few pieces, they will be transported away in a horse-drawn carriage. My father and brothers' ones, let them untie them." Hundreds of catties of wool, it is not lucky to go to Dongling!
Zhen Guogong looked at the woolen materials he bought for more than three hundred taels, and felt guilty! If he can't find jade, let his wife know that he bought a pile of stones for more than three hundred taels, and wonder if he will be fined to kneel on the washboard and wear slippers!
First opened a few small ones he chose. The first piece, no emeralds! The second piece still hasn't come out. The third piece... the further back, the uglier his face became. Sure enough, the few pieces he picked were wiped out-he is really not suitable for gambling games.
The people who watched and learned about the stone process hesitated again when they saw the wool they had chosen.
Burmese youths are so impatient, they want to stuff a piece of material with emeralds in it. This business has finally gotten out of the predicament, is it going to be messed up again?
Just when everyone was about to give up, suddenly the Burmese youth shouted excitedly: "It's green! It's green!!"
Everyone rushed over. Sure enough, the wool cut from the middle, the smooth cut surface, the color is like the young leaves of boxwood in early spring, very pure green, very dazzling in the sun.
The Burmese youth said in a trembling voice: "The seedlings are green, and it is a high-grade ice species. Although it is not as precious as the emperor green, it is also a top-grade jadeite. If there is emerald meat in the middle of this material, all the money for the woolen material will be returned. Carved into a complete set of jewelry, the value is doubled! Uncle, even if the other piece is broken, you can still make money!"
"You young man, how do you talk?" Zhen Guogong was upset. How could the materials that his daughter helped him choose be broken? Sure enough, he was right to listen to his daughter. Daughter's luck is always good!
The Burmese youth patted his mouth lightly, and said apologetically, "It's my fault! This piece of skin is doing well, and there is still a great chance of turning green."
He handed over this piece of material to his partner to continue unpacking, and asked a few people to lift the largest piece of material to another unblocking platform. He raised his head and asked Gu Ye: "Honorable Madam, how would you cut it?"
Gu Ye touched the jade wool, drew a few lines on it, and said, "Cut along these lines."
After the first cut, the Burmese youth poured some water on it with his hands, and raised his voice: "It's rising! It's green again! Violet! It turned out to be the mysterious and noble violet emerald!!"
Gu Ye touched it with his hand, the color was purple like haze, and it was very luxurious. The texture is fine and the head is full, which should have reached the high ice species. good!
"Father, look! This color matches Mother's temperament very well!" Gu Ye tugged on the sleeves of the father who was grinning happily, "Mother must like it!"
"Yeah, yum! This color is good, atmospheric and refined, calm and restrained. It's very suitable—" Mr. Zhen Guo found a good thing, and habitually thought of his daughter, "This piece of material is definitely not small, and I will make you a set of jewelry when the time comes." .”
Gu Ye didn't refuse, nodded vigorously and said: "Okay! When people ask me, I will say that my father made the material himself and gave it to me!"
"Yes, yes! Young man, let me do the rest!" Now that the girl said to open it by herself, Lord Zhen rolled up his sleeves and went to battle. Under the guidance of Burmese youths, the emerald was quickly opened. The remaining leather shells are also carefully polished.
Soon, a piece of purple jadeite bigger than a millstone appeared in front of everyone. Purple is pure and transparent, moist and elegant, exuding intellectual charm, just like a graceful and luxurious lady coming...
"Excuse me, can you sell this piece of violet jadeite? I'll offer one thousand taels of silver!" The shopkeeper of the largest jewelry store in the capital leaned forward and asked.
Duke Zhen carefully touched the emerald he had opened. It is so beautiful! A man like him is fascinated! Daughter-in-law will love it...
Suddenly being interrupted by this ignorant fellow to admire the jadeite, Duke Zhen said displeasedly, "Is this the one who needs the thousand taels of silver? Don't sell it!"
"My lord! I am willing to pay you two thousand taels for this piece of jadeite. I don't know if you want to give it up or not!" This younger shopkeeper is the previous one's deadly enemy. He has a unique vision, and he can see at a glance that Duke Zhen is an official. Although he didn't report any hope, he still spoke out. It's good to be disgusted with the enemy!
Wow! The crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded. The rough stone bought for more than 300 taels of silver was sold for 2,000 taels at once, which is a huge profit! The fire that was doused was ignited again. Xingzi was in a hurry, and had already begun to select rough stones for people to weigh.
"Don't sell it, keep it for your own use!" Duke Zhen waved his hand, and walked over to watch his sons explain the stone.
Chu Mufeng and Chu Mutong picked out good jadeite. The youngest's fist-sized piece of imperial green made Zhen Guogong jealous. Emperor Green, the reason why it has the title of "Emperor" shows how precious it is!
The Burmese youth said to those who were still hesitating: "See! The investment of a few hundred taels has more than ten times in an instant. What are you waiting for? If you wait any longer, the good stuff will be picked up by others!!"
At this time, several people picked out the materials and couldn't wait to ask the Burmese youth to help them untie the stone. Although the young Burmese lamented the good fortune of Gu Ye's family, they couldn't care about them at this time. The two stone-dissolving machines are constantly busy, and there are still many people waiting and urging.
This batch of wool was really good, and several people unraveled the jade and made a small profit. Among them, a scholar dressed in ordinary clothes was persuaded by his classmates to buy a small piece for six taels of silver. He opened a glass-type blue-green jadeite and was bought by a jeweler for two hundred taels of silver.
Although the quality of the emerald was good, it was too small. If it is bigger and the bracelet can be taken out, it will be more valuable. Now it can only be made into jade pendants and inlaid with hairpins.
Others were hesitant when they saw another jadeite was produced, but now they are starting to stir up wool. Humans have a herd mentality, the more people buy, the more people buy. The Burmese youth was sweating profusely from work, but kept his mouth shut happily.
Gu Ye randomly picked out a few small pieces of jadeite, and the jadeite that came out was waxy or ice, worth around one or two hundred taels, and they were all sold to the young jewelry merchant as promised.
