Chapter 149: One knife makes you poor, another knife makes you rich, and one knife leads to a dead end.

Qin Zhengyi was used to being beaten by Qin Yian and had never lost face in front of her. He didn't care and was not angry. He just shouted like quarreling:

"Are you annoying or not, kid? Everyone makes mistakes. Remember, pick your stones quickly. Don't pick up real stones, or I will laugh at you."

"Grandpa, don't underestimate me. What I pick will at least have something. They are not real stones and can't be laughed at."

Qin Yian picked from the pile of raw stones on the left to the right, and selected a lot of stones that she thought were good. The stones she selected were all based on the knowledge she had learned and she looked at them with her naked eyes. She definitely did not rely on the plug-in of the space carrier. She also wanted to know how she was learning.

After a while, Qin Yian had picked a pile of stones and still didn't stop.

There were too many stones in the room, and they were given to her. It would be inappropriate if she didn't pick more. Anyway, the old man treated these stones as tools to kill time. Looking at the disgusted look in the old man's eyes when he looked at the stones, they were almost treated as waste.

It was just right to use these as food for the space carrier. The things carved out looked beautiful. She really couldn't bear to let them become stone sculptures without light.

Qin Zhengyi sat by and watched her choose. He didn't call for a stop, but just waited quietly. It didn't matter whether she chose more or less.

In the end, Qin Yian stopped by herself. She picked about fifty stones. If she had picked more, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she couldn't finish the carving.

"Grandpa, this is what I picked."

Qin Yian took out four pieces of raw stone from the pile she picked out.

"I think these four are the best quality and the stones most likely to produce good jade. Take a look, let's cut these four first."

"Not bad, not bad, these three are good, but the smallest one is not so good, there are too many cracks on it, and there will be no good jade inside."

Qin Yian is sure that there is something good in this stone. When she touches the stone, she can clearly feel the flow of spiritual energy inside. She thinks that this may be because she has been in contact with space for a long time and drinks spiritual spring water every day, so she is more sensitive to spiritual energy.

"I think this stone feels good to the touch, so I picked it out from the pile of scraps. Let's open it first."

"Okay, come here and I'll teach you how to use these tools. You can open it yourself in the future. My old waist can't bend for long."

Qin Zhengyi moved a set of tools from the corner a little, touched the four stones and asked:

"Which one should we open first? You tell me."

"Then open the biggest one first."

Qin Yian moved the biggest stone she had chosen over. This stone weighed twenty kilograms.

"Then open this stone. I will explain it to you while I open it. Opening a stone must be based on experience. There is a popular saying in the stone gambling world: 'One cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich, and one cut makes you dead.' This is not just talk. The value could have increased, but if one cut hits the jade inside, the value will be greatly reduced. It will be even worse if the jade is wasted."

Qin Yian listened carefully and nodded silently. There is nothing wrong with this saying. It is a combination of strength and luck. You need a keen eye, a careful mind, great courage and luck.

"So how to cut is a science, it depends on your own eyesight. I will teach you how to use the tools. As for how to solve it, just follow your own ideas. It can also be regarded as a test of your teaching results."

"Okay, I learned it, I'll do it."

Qin Yian listened carefully, rubbed his hands excitedly and prepared to start, but the method was a bit wild, and he cut without hesitation, cutting with a big knife and axe. The old man's eyes jumped. Who cut directly from the middle of the stone? It was useless.

Although the old man didn't agree in his heart, he didn't dare to remind her out loud. This granddaughter was always reasonable. He just watched quietly. Anyway, these things are not worth much. If they are useless, they are useless. He should stop making trouble.

Qin Yian was not cutting randomly, she had a clear idea in her mind. By taking out the plug-in of the carrier in the space, she could feel where the jade in the stone was and how big the area was.

When picking stones, she didn't need to use the plug-in for learning. Now she didn't need to rely on herself to cut stones. She could use the plug-in directly. In this way, she could also learn the stone-cutting technology through 100% correct answers.

"It's green, Grandpa, take a look."

"Let me see." Qin Zhengyi went over to take a look, his eyes lit up: "It's OK, it's still glutinous, light purple, the purity is not bad, it's quite transparent, very suitable for you girls to wear, the area of ​​the jade is not small, luck is good, the unsolved part below can still reach this purity, it will be very beautiful, you continue to solve it, be careful."

"Okay."

Qin Yian's self-confidence burst, an excited, a few clicks, cut all around the jade, only a piece of stone in the middle.

And the surrounding just brushed the edge of the jade and cut down, the stone and the jade are only one millimeter apart, the color is looming.

"Little ancestor!"

The old man took a breath, almost unable to breathe, God, this granddaughter's hands are not shaking at all, it's really a test of people's dirty.

"You're lucky. You didn't cut the jade, but you got a piece of jade as big as an adult man's fist. It looks good overall, nothing wrong."

Qin Zhengyi stretched out his hand: "Don't cut the rest, just polish it. How about I help you with the last bit?"

"Okay. I'll continue to open the stones below."

Qin Yian passed it over readily, took out another rough stone and started cutting it. Seeing that there was still a lot of rough stones she had selected, she had to pursue speed.

So Qin Yian took the rough stone like a stone crusher, breaking a piece in a few minutes. Qin Zhengyi was frightened at the beginning, but later he got used to it and became numb, concentrating on helping her polish the jade.

With such an efficient speed, Qin Yian spent more than two hours to cut out the stones she had chosen. Now only the last small stone was left, which was the stone that the old man initially rejected because it had too many cracks.

Qin Zhengyi looked at the pile of jade stones of good quality placed in front of him, and was convinced of his granddaughter. Not only did his granddaughter become a master, but she was also better than him.

He had a different opinion about the last stone in his granddaughter's hand. Perhaps the stone chosen by his granddaughter might not be bad.

In response, Qin Zhengyi put down his work and stared at Qin Yian uncutting the last stone without blinking.

When it was almost uncut, the space carrier on Qin Yian's neck became restless, stronger than ever before.
