Chapter 23 Gambling Stones

"stop!"

The stall owner ran up to Li Mo and hurriedly forced a thousand dollars over.

Li Mo looked back at the beautiful woman in red, just in time to see the beautiful woman in red winking her eyes triumphantly, her appearance was really irritating.

Li Mo frowned slightly, and returned the jade pendant to the stall owner without hesitation.

This severely damaged jade pendant has no value at all in terms of enjoyment. Li Mo bought it for a thousand dollars, but he just took a fancy to the little 'chalcedony' hidden in this jade pendant.

Even if this jade pendant is handed over to a god-level craftsman, there is no way to extract the essence of 'chalcedony' from it, and only Li Mo, who has mastered the Art of Creation of Heaven and Earth, has that ability.

That little bit of chalcedony is completely optional, and it is not something that is particularly valued, so Li Mo doesn't even have the idea of ​​arguing.

If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, it doesn't matter.

"Beauty, beauty, I brought back the jade pendant for you!"

The stall owner trotted, and handed the jade pendant to the beauty in red with a flattering face.

"I changed my mind, no more."

The beauty in red snorted and left.

The stall owner held the jade pendant in his hand, his smile froze.

"you you you……"

"What about me? I haven't paid the money yet. Naturally, I can take it or not. Don't you want to sell me by force?"

The beauty in red made a face at the stall owner and walked away.

"Ah, huh?"

Now that the stall owner had the heart to kill someone, looking at the back of the beautiful woman in red, he had no choice but to think about it, stomped his feet, and went after Li Mo.

"Friend, friend, I just thought about it, this jade pendant... I'd better sell it to you!"

The stall owner caught up with Li Mo, he was so tired that he was really anxious.

"I do not want it."

Li Mo said something indifferently, and the stall owner almost cried out.

The damaged jade pendant received for fifty yuan was sold for a month and no one wanted it. Today, a buyer finally came, but he was screwed up by his own greed.

It's all because of that hateful little girl in red, it's too hateful!

But right now it's not time to scold or complain, business has to be done.

"Nine hundred, how about nine hundred!"

Li Mo walked forward slowly, browsing the items on the stalls on both sides, and was noncommittal to what the jade pendant stall owner said.

"Eight hundred, eight hundred, I admit that I lost today, how about just making friends?"

"Why don't you make an offer!"

Seeing that Li Mo still didn't react at all, the stall owner was very anxious.

Li Mo stretched out a finger: "One hundred."

The stall owner's lips trembled.

"Sell it, get the money!"

Seeing Li Mo walking away again, the stall owner knew that there was nothing to discuss, so he gritted his teeth and sold it for a hundred.

Just this broken jade pendant has been sold for a month, and there is no one asking for the price.

In this way, Li Mo spent a hundred yuan to buy back the damaged jade pendant.

"Tell you to be greedy, tell you to be greedy."

The stall owner took a hundred yuan and slapped himself while walking, he was depressed.

Li Mo put away the jade pendant, this object is worthless in other people's hands, but in his hands, the value is higher than those well-preserved real antiques.

A trace of chalcedony, ten thousand catties of jade, the jade that can produce chalcedony, its value can no longer be measured by money.

"Take a look, take a look, you will get rich with one knife, don't miss this good opportunity!"

With a shout, Li Mo raised his head and saw a stall in front of him full of people.

The items placed in the booth were nothing more than a pile of khaki-colored stones. The stones were big and small. Many people held stones in their hands, knocking, shining, smelling, or licking. It was very lively.

They are betting stones.

Those khaki-colored stones are all rough jadeite, and the quality of them is naturally good or bad.

One knife and one stone may make people rich instantly, or they may go bankrupt overnight.

Gambling stones is a game of heartbeat, one knife and two stares, because of the excitement, because it is possible to make a fortune overnight, so no matter where the stone gambling stall is placed, there will never be a shortage of customers.

"This one, this one, and this one, wipe them together!"

A thin-looking young man wearing a pair of glasses picked out three rough emerald stones the size of a millstone, and asked the boss to rub the stones on the spot.

There are three popular ways to bet on stones: rubbing stones, cutting stones, and grinding stones.

Rubbing stones work well and are relatively safe. Any blind move of the knife can easily cause the green "solution" to run away and lose the bet. So with a wiper, you can use strong light to look in, and then judge the depth, width and shade of green.

Cutting a stone is simple, one cut in two halves, and the good and bad can be seen immediately. The method of grinding a stone and rubbing a stone is similar, the difference is that a rubbing stone is more refined.

The owner of the gambling stone shop shouted loudly: "Three rough stones, each with a unit price of 300,000 yuan, and the cleaning fee is 3,000 yuan. My friend, are you sure you want to clean it?"

The man with glasses had already bought no less than twenty rough stones in his shop, but he would yell loudly every time. The reason was to let the onlookers hear him and testify for him, so as not to encounter repudiation.

"wipe!"

The man with glasses pushed his glasses, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

The boss yelled: "Money first, rubbish later, no one cheats!"

"Have I missed you?"

"I didn't make a mistake before, but there is such a rule in the stone betting business, one by one."

"Here's your money!"

The man with glasses took out his mobile phone and transferred the money on the spot.

Then, rubbing stones began

The man with glasses was obviously not very lucky. He opened 20 rough stones in front of him, and the best one was barely enough to cover the cost of that rough stone, and the rest could not even recover the cost.

The three rough stones were rubbed, and after rubbing for a while, they turned into grinding, and after grinding for a while, they turned into cutting again, and finally, the three rough stones turned into six pieces, with nothing in them except for a green stripe barely visible to the naked eye.

"It's a big loss..."

"It's over, nothing to lose."

The man with glasses turned pale. He took out a pack of cigarettes and lit it tremblingly. After lighting it several times, he finally lit it. When he put the cigarette back, the cigarette fell to the ground again.

"Gambling with stones is just for fun, don't be greedy."

"This buddy has lost a lot today."

"From morning to now, at least six million have passed."

"My God, if I have six million, I'm still betting on the ass."

"Come again, come to the biggest piece in your store!"

The man with glasses has a hoarse voice, pointing to the most conspicuously placed piece of rough stone.

The original stone was half the height of a person and weighed more than ten thousand catties.

The owner of the Gambling Stone Shop smiled and said: "My friend, the reserve price for this rough stone is 100 million, and it has already been bought by someone. In a few days, it will be sent to the auction of rare and rare treasures as a treasure in the town meeting. Treasure Public Auction!"

Hearing the price quoted by the owner of Gambling Stone Shop, the crowd exclaimed.

The base price is 100 million, which is definitely a big deal.

Looking at the man with glasses, his face turned pale again, he started to choke on his cigarettes, he lowered his head and wandered around on a pile of rough stones, after looking at it for more than ten minutes, he didn't call out to buy again.

"Boss, this one, grind it out!"

An old man with white beard and hair in a Tang suit picked up a fist-sized rough stone and handed it to the gambling stone shop owner.

"Ouch, Old Yu."

The owner of the gambling stone shop immediately smiled when he saw the old man, took the rough stone, handed it to the worker beside him, and said, "This was chosen by Mr. Yu, be careful."

The man with glasses stood up and said angrily, "Why didn't he pay first? Why did I have to pay first? What do you mean!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and the owner of the stone shop didn't need to speak, the onlookers told him.

"This is Yu Lao, Yu Boyan, can you compare with him?"

"Yu Boyan, Yu Lao, a national first-class appraiser, is worth tens of millions of dollars just by this name. Let him pay first. It seems that Boss Wei doesn't want to do this job."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A group of people laughed, and the man with glasses was so angry that he squatted in the pile of rough stones, his eyes wandered again.

Just when it was difficult to choose the man with glasses, the rough stone that Yu Boyan chose, the millstone, finally came out.

"Yu Laomoshi, with 5,000 raw materials, and a high-grade Yanglu, with an estimated price of 900,000!"

The crowd of onlookers let out an exclamation in unison.
