Chapter 135 136. Buying Jewelry

While they were whispering about science, Gu Wenheng also unpacked the stone he had picked up at random. It was just a bean green stone the size of a fist and could only be used to make some small ornaments. Even so, it was exchanged for ten taels of silver by the shopkeeper.

"You bought this for five taels of silver, plus the labor cost, so you made a little more than four taels." Zhou Ping's eyes lit up, and he became more excited about the stone in his hand.

"It's just luck. After all, no one knows what the inside of the stone looks like." Gu Wenheng didn't want this senior brother to become addicted to it, so he had to strike back when necessary.

The second stone was of better quality, almost ice quality. "Little brother, would you like to buy this stone?"

Gu Wenheng nodded. Jin Qianqian had many better things than these, so he was not interested in them at all. It would be better to exchange them for some silver in a fair and honest way.

"This stone is quite good, and it's as big as a baby's head. I'll give you three hundred taels. Do you think it's okay?"

"Three hundred and fifty taels," the merchants who had been hiding in the room ran out again. Although they were not outside, their followers were always paying attention to them.

The scene suddenly became lively when people started bidding. You bid five taels, I bid ten taels, and soon the price was raised to five hundred taels before it stopped.

Seeing that Gu Wenheng really created a hundred-fold myth, Deng Yuanhang and Zhou Ping's eyes sparkled, and they looked at the remaining two raw materials with anticipation.

But the next one was not so bad. One piece of stone was colorful no matter how you cut it, and the other piece was full of cracks. It was a complete failure.

Seeing Gu Wenheng's harvest, Deng Yuanhang and Zhou Ping also became eager to try their luck. They came forward to pay the masonry fee and squatted there, watching expectantly.

Shopkeeper Luo came over at this time and said, "Sir, we have other raw stones here. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Gu Wenheng knew the principle of quitting when things are going well, so he shook his head and said, "This is also my first time cutting stones. I am very lucky to have such a harvest, but I dare not ask for more."

Manager Luo's eyes flashed with admiration. He had seen too many people who were crazy about gambling in this gambling field. "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me. I can give you a discount."

No matter what, the fact that the customer in front of him was able to cut the stone indirectly brought him a lot of business, and those who were originally on the sidelines also bought it. Now they are queuing here, waiting for the stone to be cut.

Deng Yuanhang also chose four stones, but his luck was pretty good as he got a piece of ice-type floating flowers. Although it was not big, he sold it for more than one hundred taels.

Zhou Ping's luck was not so good. He got a bean green color, which just barely covered his investment, but he still had to pay the labor cost for cutting the stone.

"Do you want to choose two more pieces?" Deng Yuanhang saw that he was feeling a little depressed and couldn't help but persuade him.

Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "Forget it. Just like Wen Heng said when he came, we should cut our losses in time. Anyway, we have gained some experience and it can be considered a gain.

It's getting late, we should go back and rest."

Deng Yuanhang was about to say something, but Gu Wenheng shook his head to stop him. He smiled and said, "That won't do. I've been waiting for so long, I'm hungry. We have to find a place to reward ourselves, otherwise our stomachs will make trouble at night."

"That's true," Deng Yuanhang also reacted and patted his chest, "I made a lot of money today, I'll be the host."

Gu Wenheng put his arm around their shoulders and walked out. "You have a clear conscience when you say this. Who earns more? Is it that hard to admit that you are a failure compared to me?"

"I said..."

The merchants who stayed in the yard would smile knowingly when they heard this. Compared to those who failed in gambling on stones and were desperate or had already fallen into despair, they would rather see such a scene.

Gu Wenheng turned his head, opened the window and looked at the people passing by below.

He touched the silver bills in his pocket, put on the down padded jacket that Jin Qianqian had specially prepared for him, turned around and walked out.

"Waiter, if my two companions wake up later, tell them that I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

The waiter responded repeatedly. He still had an impression of this case winner, so he was naturally very attentive.

Walking into the jewelry store and seeing the waiter still busy cleaning the place, he couldn't help but clearing his throat to remind him that a customer was coming.

"Sir, what do you need?"

Gu Wenheng walked over and looked at the pile of silver jewelry. He couldn't help but frowned, "Is everything here?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, please follow me."

As he spoke, he walked ahead and led the crowd to the second floor, "Here are some sets of jewelry, and some styles that have just been delivered. You can take a look first.

I wonder who you are going to buy it for?"

Gu Wenheng turned around and pointed at one of the sets. The necklace here was simple, and there was a piece of jade hanging in the middle, which satisfied him the most. The golden hairpin was also decorated with the same jade, which echoed the beauty. If it was worn on Qianqian, it would look very beautiful.

"Sir, you really have good taste. This is what our master chef just made. But the price is a bit high. Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Wenheng, "How much?"

"The shopkeeper has already made an offer for him. The price is one hundred and eight taels."

The waiter carefully observed Gu Wenheng's expression, and then added weakly, "It really can't be any less."

Gu Wenheng took out the brocade bag and counted out two silver bills. "Please help me pack it up."

"Hey," the waiter took the banknote from his hand, "Sir, would you like to see something else? We have some other jewelry here. As long as they are not new, I can give you a smaller price."

Gu Wenheng shook his head. In this life, he would only buy jewelry for Qianqian. As for other people, he had no interest at all.

The waiter was tactful and quickly gave him some change, packed the jewelry in a box, and then respectfully sent the person away.

I have completed a deal so early in the morning. I guess I will be praised when the shopkeeper comes over.

He hummed a song and continued to clean up, but he didn't expect to get the praise he was expecting, and instead he was scolded.

As soon as Gu Wenheng left, the shopkeeper came back and the waiter hurried over to show the results of the morning's work.

"What did you say? Sell that new set of products upstairs?" The shopkeeper raised his voice, but did not receive the praise that the waiter was expecting.

"Yes, didn't you tell everyone the price yesterday? And it just so happened that a young customer took a fancy to it today, so I sold it to him."

"What were you doing when I was talking yesterday? Didn't I say it later? Someone has already placed an order for this set of jewelry. Now you are acting on your own. How are we going to explain this to them?" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet. This was not someone he could afford to offend!
