Wei Mian looked around and had no intention of continuing to pick.
Her original purpose was to pick a few pieces of jade to set up the formation. Even though she knew that she could get rich quickly by doing this, she was able to control her greed.
Although Wei Mian didn't tell her own fortune, she could probably tell something. She wouldn't make a living by gambling in her life, so it was okay for her to get some stones occasionally. But if she wanted to make a fortune from it, she wasn't destined for it.
She took the two stones and went to Chen Zhiping to settle the bill.
When Wei Mian walked over, the stone on the stone cutter had been cut in half, and there was no trace of green left.
The owner of the stone had a lot of sweat on his forehead at this moment, and he was staring at the master's movements nervously.
Chen Zhengping also felt that the stone was about to collapse, and he lost interest in watching it for a moment. Wei Mian happened to be walking over with the stone in his arms, and he greeted him with a smile.
"Miss Wei, you have a really good eye. You saw the raw materials I put aside for someone else. It's my fault for not explaining it clearly just now. The price of that pile of raw materials is much more expensive than here."
"The pile against the wall is 200 yuan per kilogram, but the ones I reserved next to it are 600 yuan per kilogram. And these are the prices for regular customers. Since you are a guest brought by Dapeng, you can also follow this price. Miss Wei, please don't be offended."
Chen Dapeng didn't feel anything was wrong at this time. When he heard that Chen Zhiping had reserved them for someone else, he felt a little embarrassed, fearing that someone had already picked them out.
"Then let's take a piece—"
Chen Zhengping still maintained that smiling look.
"It's okay, our friendship is just a matter of us being together!"
Wei Mian nodded, taking what he said as true, and handed the stones over for weighing. The small pieces weighed 490 grams, and the large pieces weighed less than six kilograms.
Chen Zhengping smiled and said, "Miss Wei, let's just say 3,600. This small piece is a bonus."
If we calculate these two stones precisely, they would be worth 3,601 pieces. Now that Chen Zhengping said this, it seemed as if they had taken advantage of him by stealing one of his stones.
"Forget it, the ten dollars is not a big deal."
Wei Mian gave him a half-smile and scanned the code to pay.
Chen Zhengping still maintained that smiling face, and his expression did not change when he saw that Wei Mianfu had not paid a penny less.
"Miss Wei, do you need to cut the stone here? Our stone cutters are all veterans with over 20 years of experience."
When Chen Zhengping saw that it was indeed Wei Mian who paid, he began to believe that she was Chen Dapeng's customer.
If she was really Chen Dapeng's mistress as he thought, it would be inappropriate to let a girl pay for a mere 4,000 yuan by herself. And judging from the actions of the two just now, it really didn't seem like that.
Wei Mian was not interested in attracting business for Chen Zhengping, so he asked Chen Dapeng to carry the stones and they left together.
Chen Dapeng also came to his senses a little at this time, and his face looked a little unhappy.
Wei Mian glanced at him and said, "What's that? It's most cost-effective to get to know a person clearly through a small matter, so that if something serious happens in the future, you won't regret it even if your intestines turn green."
She glanced to the other side and saw that there were woolen material shops similar to this one. She could take a look at them later.
Chen Zhengping is a man of evil intentions and has a serious gambling addiction. This shop can only last for two years at most under his management.
Chen Dapeng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He came here just to give the master a good shopping experience, but he didn't expect to make her look like a fool of herself.
"Why isn't the master here cutting the stone? His stone-cutting master used to work for Uncle Chen, and his skills are really good."
"I want to try it myself."
The two separated at Fengshui Street, and Wei Mian drove his car back home.
It just so happened that she had nothing to do today, so she changed into some loose old clothes, took an apron and a mask, and armed herself fully. Then she pulled a water pipe, picked up the cutting machine, and squatted in the yard to fiddle with the stones.
After all, Wei Mian had experience in cutting jade, so he thought this should be about the same.
She planned to try her hand with the fist-sized piece first. Just as she finished the first cut, Zheng Hao came.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he understood what Wei Mian was doing and immediately started shouting.
"Uncle Master! You actually went to gamble on stones! I definitely wasn't mistaken, these two pieces are rough stones, and you went to gamble on stones without even calling me!!"
Before Wei Mian could say anything, Zheng Hao took a big step and rushed to her side, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
"I'll help you cut it, uncle. Please, let me do it! I'm strong, I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue, I can do anything!!"
Wei Mian couldn't help laughing at his funny look and simply handed the cutting machine to him.
"I've drawn the lines, just cut along them."
Zheng Hao put on a mask, covering most of his face, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes exposed. "Leave it to me, don't worry!"
Twenty minutes later, Wei Mian looked at the jade that had been cut off in silence.
The jade stone, which was not very big to begin with, became even smaller after a piece was cut off. I guess if the jewelry company took it back, it would only be enough to make two pendants.
Zheng Hao said cautiously, "...Uncle Master, I can compensate you."
"Go away."
Wei Mian didn't ask him to pay for it, but he told him not to touch the second piece no matter what.
Ignoring Zheng Hao's muttering, Wei Mian opened his third eye, then took the cutting machine and cut in the direction and position he saw.
Because he aimed accurately, he could see the clear glass with just the first cut.
"hiss--"
Zheng Hao couldn't help but gasp and looked at Wei Mian with admiration, "Master, you are so awesome!"
Wei Mian ignored the flatterer and asked, "Why are you here today?"
Zheng Hao watched Wei Mian's movements closely, fearing that she would cut the piece crookedly like him. "Didn't you have someone keep an eye on Stone Town? Ma Minghui has taken action."
————
Stone Town a few days ago.
Chen Jun graduated from university this year, but his grades have always been average, and he struggled through university.
When the school asked Chen Jun to go out for an internship in his senior year, he returned to his hometown without saying a word. He was not at all like his classmates who went to some big company to get an internship stamp. After all, his father would definitely find a way to deal with it when he returned home.
Coming back is indeed the same.
Chen Jun studied a mechanical-related major, and Chen Baozhu himself worked at the agricultural machinery station in Shitou Town. Their majors were barely relevant, so it was very easy for him to get an internship certificate.
But he couldn't not go for a day, so he had to go occasionally just to pretend.
After working for two days in a row, Chen Jun couldn't hold it in any longer. Thinking of how he felt when he won money a few days ago, he became more and more unbearable.
Seeing the message on his phone urging him to come out and play mahjong, Chen Jun rolled his eyes, pretended to have a stomachache, and asked for leave to go home.
