Chapter 180: One Knife Makes You Rich, Another Knife Makes You Poor

Han Yao followed the direction of Ling Chu's finger and looked at the rough stones next to her.

What a coincidence, the pieces pointed by the disaster star were exactly what she wanted to buy.

"Liu Dongjia, I want these rough stones. Please calculate the price." Han Yao asked Liu Gui calmly, but with a bit of arrogance in her expression.

Ling Chu raised his eyebrows, but she just stabbed him casually. Did the county owner really buy it?

Liu Gui was stunned. Although he wanted to complete this business, he was afraid that the county owner would regret it after buying it, in case something happened to him later. After hesitating for a while, he said cryptically, "County Master, those pieces are the best in quality in our Jade Pavilion, and they are so big that it is inconvenient to transport them back. How about you look at the others?"

Ling Chu glanced at the arrogant county master and said softly, "Dong Liu's family is right. No matter how rich the Dingyuan Palace is, the money will not be brought by the strong wind. The county master should not squander it carelessly, in case something happens. If there is no jade inside, the money will be wasted."

"No need, even if the Liu Dong family offers a price, it's only two to three thousand taels, so I haven't taken it seriously yet." Han Yao looked arrogant and disdainful.

If those wealthy businessmen had such an attitude, Liu Gui would definitely quote the price without saying a word.

But after all, the county lord came from Dingyuan Prince's Palace, so it was better not to offend him as much as possible.

After all, these rich and noble ladies have always been capricious in doing things, changing at will, and he has seen a lot of unreasonable and troublesome things.

Liu Gui was happy when he saw that she insisted on buying it, but in order not to offend Prince Dingyuan as much as possible, he still said something cryptic, "County Lord, those pieces of material are all produced in the most famous old pit. County Lord I must have seen that those pieces of material performed well in all aspects, and at this price..."

Han Yao's maid looked at him impatiently, "Okay, Mr. Liu, just tell me how much it will cost. It's so annoying to complain, but my county boss is not one of those low-income people who pretends to be fat."

Liu Gui was unhappy. Both the master and the servant looked down upon others.

Since people didn't want to accept his kindness, there was no need for him to be kind and said directly, "The largest piece is 4,300 taels, the brown piece is 3,900 taels, and the square piece is 3,760 taels." Five taels, and the other two pieces, the big one is 2,320 taels, and the small one is 2,110 taels.”

The shopkeeper next to him stopped his abacus and directly quoted the total price, "Sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty-five taels."

Liu Gui nodded and looked at Han Yao with a smile on his face, "The county master bought too much, so I'll keep the change. I just need to give you 16,300 taels."

As soon as Liu Gui finished speaking, the maid was dumbfounded, "It's so expensive, are you robbing money?"

The price was obviously beyond the maid's expectation. Han Yao next to her also looked stiff. She thought that the few pieces of material were only around 3,000 taels at most.

Liu Dongjia's face darkened when he heard what the maid said, "The county master should know whether I am robbing money. As I said just now, those pieces of material came from the most famous old pit, and the performance is my jadeite The best batch in the hotel.”

Glancing at the county master's increasingly serious expression, Liu Dongjia changed his tone abruptly, "Why don't you, the county master, take a look at the materials on the side?"

Although his uncle was the eunuch in charge of Jinxiu Yuzhen, he actually did not have much weight in front of the dignitaries of Dingyuan Palace, and he did not want to offend the county owner.

At worst, he won't do this business today.

Ling Chu glanced at the gloomy master and servant, and smiled softly, "Dong Liu's family has made the situation clear enough. Since the county master doesn't have enough money, he can choose other materials. The county master still lets Your maid should pay attention to her words and deeds. It is not easy for Liu Dong’s family to open a shop and make a living. How can we do business if she ruins her reputation by yelling casually? "

Seeing the smile on the disaster star's face, Han Yao's face became more and more gloomy. More than ten thousand taels was beyond her budget, but she had already boasted about Haikou just now, and she couldn't let that bitch laugh at her.

"Cuiliu, give me the banknote."

The maid secretly complained, how could she have so many bank notes.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the maid secretly gritted her teeth and looked embarrassed, "County Master, I went out today and only brought 3,600 taels with me."

Han Yao glared at her fiercely, feeling that everyone looked at her with ridicule.

Gritting his teeth, he took off the bracelet on his hand and said, "Dr. Liu, this bracelet was given by the imperial concubine. Is it enough to cover the remaining money?"

"That's enough, that's enough." The bracelet given by the imperial concubine was a hot potato. Dong Liu's family didn't want it. It was obvious that Han Yao insisted on buying those few pieces of material, so he had to accept it.

Han Yao was not completely stimulated by Ling Chu. She was originally optimistic about those pieces of material and wanted to buy them, but she didn't expect the price to be so expensive.

But it doesn't matter, she is not the disaster star, and she doesn't understand anything.

She had learned from a master who specializes in stone gambling. Those pieces of material were produced in Laokeng, and she had carefully looked at them. Whether they were mango belts, pine flowers, etc., they were all very good. She judged that there were not only jade but also jade in them. Still the highest quality.

As long as she cuts those rough stones and digs out the jade inside, it won't be a problem to sell them for a hundred thousand taels.

That bracelet was a gift from the imperial concubine. Of course she would not just mortgage it to Liu Gui and ask him to get it back after selling the jadeite.

Seeing that the county owner had bought all the jadeite stones, Ling Chu felt secretly happy, hoping that he wouldn't cry too hard after cutting them open.

"Look, it's green..." Ling Chu was thinking about leaving with the two maids when he suddenly heard an excited shout.

It turned out that someone was unraveling the stone.

Upon hearing the news, those who were selecting rough stones all rushed over.

Ling Chu was curious and walked over.

"Boss Cao, I'll pay 10,000 taels. Can you give me this material?" A businessman wearing dark-patterned silk looked at the man surnamed Cao with a smile.

"I'll pay 15,000."

"20,000."

"25,000."

...

Listening to everyone's offer, Yongfuxiang's Zhao Dongjia waved his hand with pride, "50,000."

Zhao Xinxiang looked at the jadeite that was cut open, his eyes shining. The water head was so transparent and the color was emerald green. It was really a rare good material.

Everyone sighed in their hearts. The owner of Yongfuxiang was really rich.

Just when everyone thought that the man surnamed Cao would sell the jadeite to Zhao Dongjia, who knew that he shook his head, "Zhao Dongjia, I want to cut all of this material."

Zhao Xinxiang was stunned. Although he was disappointed, he had no choice. After all, this jadeite was not his.

Cao Shun was excited. He cut out such high-quality jadeite with the first knife. He was really lucky.

"Cut this side next." Cao Shun gestured on the raw stone, signaling the guy in charge of cutting.

The guy nodded, raised his hand and cut.

As the cut surface was exposed, the smile on Cao Shun's face disappeared.

Someone even exclaimed, "The green is gone..."

The people present shook their heads and sighed. Gambling on stones is really a matter of one cut to make you rich and one cut to make you poor. Fifty thousand taels are gone in the blink of an eye.

It's the end of the month, handsome men and beautiful women, give me some money.
