"Manager, just give me a piece of land. I have to pay rent anyway. If I sell all these stones and find something good inside, it will add to your treasures and the glory of the heavens!" Luo Yunhe could tell that the other party was hesitant.

"Okay! But first, you must make it clear that your stone does not belong to my shop."

After all, none of your stones are of any good quality, and I don't want your actions to cause unnecessary trouble for our shop!

They really don't know what they're missing!

Luo Yunhe muttered to herself.

However, she readily agreed to the conditions offered by the other party.

After both parties signed the agreement, the man in blue found Luo Yunhe a spacious spot. The spot wasn't very good, and the place wasn't very big, but Luo Yunhe was already very satisfied.

She arranged her stones one by one, forming a small pile, and then wrote a sign and placed it on top of the stones.

The content is simple: cheap and delicious food, but you won't get anything good from it; you'll get 10 times the compensation.

After Luo Yunhe finished writing her sign, she placed it in a prominent place in front of her stall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she put up the signboard, it attracted the attention of the staff at the Treasure Pavilion.

The men gathered around, looking at the sign with expressions of surprise and confusion.

They thought to themselves, "This girl is really brave!"

"How dare they put up such a sign here! They really don't know their own limitations!"

They simply couldn't understand how a girl who looked no more than a teenager could have such a big mouth.

The shop assistants in the Treasure Pavilion began to whisper and murmur among themselves.

As time went on, the number of customers in the Treasure Pavilion increased, and people came and went, making it a lively place.

Meanwhile, the shop assistant who had been scolded by the shopkeeper kept a close eye on Luo Yunhe's stall.

He was indignant, feeling that the broken stones Luo Yunhe had placed there could not possibly yield any treasures.

What angered him even more was that he was scolded by the shopkeeper early in the morning because of this, which was really frustrating.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it and decided to teach Luo Yunhe a lesson.

Then, he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

He strolled leisurely to Luo Yunhe's stall, looking at the stone in front of him and then at her signboard.

"Tenfold compensation? Do you even have the money to pay that?"

Luo Yunhe could tell that the guy in front of her was clearly looking for trouble, but she wasn't afraid of anything.

"Since I've written down 10 times the compensation, I can definitely deliver on that promise!"

"Fine! You wrote this yourself, you said it yourself. If you don't get anything good, then you'll have to pay ten times the amount in compensation!"

"no problem!"

"Come on, everyone, take a look! She said that if her stone doesn't yield anything good, she'll compensate me ten times the original price. You all have to be my witnesses!"

As soon as he shouted, everyone around gathered around. Looking at the pile of stones on the ground, which were obviously picked up rather than dug out of a mine, they all shook their heads and sighed, feeling that this young girl was too impetuous and didn't understand the rules of the jade industry at all.

Besides, how could such a stone possibly yield anything of value? She's using this method to attract attention; if she can't even pay the 10-fold compensation, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

While everyone was discussing, the shopkeeper, with an evil smile on his face, began searching for stones. He eventually found one that suited his hand, held it in his hand, and asked about its price.

Luo Yunhe didn't stand on ceremony: "All my stones, thirty taels each!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face showed surprise, followed by a hint of disdain. He thought to himself that this young girl really dared to ask for exorbitant prices, but he still pretended to be very interested and asked, "Are you sure these stones are all thirty taels of silver?"

Luo Yunhe nodded and said, "Of course, if you think it's too expensive, you can buy it elsewhere."

The shopkeeper sneered, "Thirty taels. If there's nothing inside, you'll have to pay me 300 taels. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Luo Yunhe answered without hesitation.

"This is just an ordinary stone, it has no value whatsoever. Young lady, you mustn't act rashly. Paying 300 taels in compensation for 30 taels is an astronomical sum! Judging from your appearance, you can't possibly come up with 300 taels of silver!"

"That's right! Don't act rashly. Besides, you have so many stones here. If you really lose money, how much will you have to pay?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that I've put up my signboard, I'm naturally very confident in my products. Let me tell you, every single one of my stones can yield something, and the quality is top-notch. And 30 taels is already a low price!"

His arrogant words silenced the surrounding jade gambling bosses. Although his claims needed to be verified, none of them dared to step forward.

The shopkeeper laughed smugly and mocked Luo Yunhe, "Hahaha, it seems even the heavens are helping me earn these 300 taels of silver today. Little girl, just wait and see how you pay me back these 300 taels of silver!"

Luo Yunhe smiled slightly, not angered by the waiter's words, and calmly said, "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."

After the shop assistant paid Luo Yunhe 30 taels of silver, he took the stone to the stone-removing room.

Because the stones are purchased through a gambling process, the stone-cutting room is open to the public, and everyone can see what's happening inside.

The man took the stone inside.

Ancient stone cutting differed from that of the 21st century because, lacking advanced technology, their only cutting method was wire cutting.

This is a cutting method that has been used since the Neolithic period. People hold the two ends of an animal hide or rope in their hands and pull it repeatedly across the jade material, while adding abrasive powder to the cutting area. They use the hardness and friction of the abrasive powder to cut the jade.

After the master craftsman secured the stone, he began preparing to cut it out from the middle.

Luo Yunhe shook her head helplessly as she watched them cut the stone in this way.

She knew perfectly well what her step was in the stone; if they followed their cutting method, some of the stone would inevitably be lost.

This is essentially a waste. If she had followed her cutting method, she could have extracted everything inside perfectly.

However, the stone belonged to that guy, so she didn't need to remind him. After all, she was far too arrogant and deserved to be taught a lesson.
