Chapter 96: Gambling on stones? I know nothing about it!

The news that Tuzi Zhao had unearthed a piece of boxwood green ice-glutinous material in Baoyuzhai spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire Grand Canal antique market through telephone waves in a very short time.

As a result, people came out of various shops one after another and quickly gathered towards the location of Baoyuzhai. In a short while, the crowd gathered here exceeded a hundred people.

However, those who came later could only stand outside and watch the excitement, or listen to the people who had just seen the stone being cut bragging, who boasted in a very exaggerated way, as if the material was cut by him personally. The people who listened to him shook their heads and enjoyed it, which further stimulated the braggarts.

For a moment, there were gestures and spitting, laughter and surprise...

Seeing this situation, Yang Jing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This is also a major feature of the Tianqu Antique Market.

After all, Tianqu's antique market is so small that it can't even be open all week. It can't be compared with the antique markets in big cities like Yanjing, Jinling, and Xijing.

It is for this reason that many "idlers" have emerged in the market. Most of these people do not have formal jobs, and some are professional antique dealers. On normal market days, these people hang around the market, acting as brokers, guides, or agents. As long as they can make money, they will do anything.

But when the market is closed, these people have nowhere to go and can only huddle in their familiar shops to play mahjong or brag and cool off. Once there is any disturbance in the market, these people will inevitably emerge from their hiding corners like vicious dogs smelling a stench.

The Grand Canal Antique Market is not small in scale, but it was established too recently and has not yet gained popularity. In addition, Tianqu City is only a small third- or fourth-tier city in northern China. The atmosphere of gambling on stones in this city is far inferior to that of the southern and other big cities. Normally, let alone glass-type and ice-type jade, even the ice-glutinous jade that Zhao Tuzi found today can be regarded as a feat that only occurs once every three years.

Baoyuzhai released a piece of boxwood green ice-glutinous jade, which was like a not-so-small depth bomb in the gambling stone circle in Tianqu City, and directly blew out all the lurkers.

There were dozens of people blocking the way outside, and Yang Jing couldn't squeeze out, so he simply didn't go out, but walked straight into Baoyuzhai.

There were a dozen people squatting in the shop picking up stones, and the shop owner's face was full of joy.

Zhao Tuzi has unraveled such a piece of material, which is definitely a huge publicity for Baoyuzhai. People in the gambling stone circle are like this, as long as the raw stones on a stall can be unraveled into good materials, then others will flock to this stall to buy the raw stones on this stall.

Yang Jing once heard his grandfather talk about what happened at the Burmese public auction. It is said that during the days when the Burmese public auction was held, there were many stalls set up by locals outside the public auction to sell jadeite rough stones. Many people who went to the public auction to gamble on jade stones would often gamble on a few rough stones at these stalls outside the public auction.

As long as a stall produces ice, high ice or even glass-type materials, all the raw stones on this stall will be sold out in a very short time.

This is what is called the "mob effect".

Now that Baoyuzhai has released a piece of material worth 5.5 million, how can it not excite those guys who have nothing to do all day? Of course, those guys who are itching to gamble can't help but pick two stones from Baoyuzhai to gamble...

Baoyuzhai mainly deals in Burmese jade. Of course, Yang Jing also saw some Hetian jade and Dushan jade in the shop.

Yang Jing walked around the shop, and the shop owner just glanced at him and continued to drink tea and chat with Zhao Tuzi, who had just washed up, and Liuzi. It can be seen that Zhao Tuzi, who is tall and strong, has a good relationship with the shop owner.

When Yang Jing saw that no one was paying attention to him, he squatted down like the other people who were selecting raw stones, and began to look at the small pile of jadeite raw stones in front of him.

Although Yang Jing had seen others cut stones and had some knowledge of gambling on stones, he only had a superficial understanding. He knew some of the jargon in this industry, but most of it was what he heard or saw. When it came to real gambling on stones, he was like blowing fire with a rolling pin - he knew nothing at all.

Yang Jing knows a famous saying in this industry: If you don't know the field, you can't play jade gambling. That means if you want to play jade gambling, the first thing you need to identify is the origin and characteristics of the jadeite rough stone, and the field is the origin of the jadeite rough stone.

Yang Jing also knew that most of the old elephant skin jadeite raw stones were produced from the Moshisha field, while Phakant was rich in black sand and Longkeng was rich in yellow sand and white fish skin...

But if you put old elephant skin, black sand, yellow sand skin jadeite in front of Yang Jing, he can't recognize them at all. In his eyes, these raw stones are no different except for size, shape and color - they are all stone eggs!

As for mosses, pine flowers, and python belts, Yang Jing didn't recognize any of them.

Knowing is one thing, but understanding is another level.

Yang Jing had never gambled on stones himself, and he was not a geology major. How could he recognize these covered stones that were no different from ordinary stones?

Yang Jing's hearsay is fine for bragging to classmates or friends who don't know jade, but if he plays with jade, it's simply courting death. In the jade gambling business, Yang Jing can talk big, but if you ask him to actually do it, it's pure nonsense!

But Yang Jing was not worried at all.

I don’t know anything about gambling on jadeite, and I don’t even recognize these jadeite raw stones, but I have a holy ring in my hand!

In fact, the reason why Yang Jing suddenly decided to enter this room was not to gamble on stones. When Baldy Zhao was negotiating the price with Boss Wang, Yang Jing suddenly remembered the Yudian-style Duan inkstone that he bought from Huang Benchu's shop in the Alfie Antique Market in London.

That Duan inkstone contributed a small amount of natural treasure energy to the holy ring, and directly gave birth to a natural treasure energy gathering pool, allowing Yang Jing to obtain the skill of "restricted time and space travel" for free.

All of this originated from that Duan inkstone. How could Yang Jing forget it?

And these black stone eggs in front of us, if they contain jade, should also contain natural treasures!

The natural treasure energy obtained from the Duan inkstone before made Yang Jing believe that any treasure born from nature should contain natural treasure energy. However, it was just a guess after all, and Yang Jing never had a chance to confirm it, so today he happened to rush here, and he wanted to confirm it!
