It's rather strange that other people would avoid that area.
She walked over, stopped in front of the stall, and asked, "Boss, how much are your stones?"
Before the stall owner could speak, someone not far from the stall spoke up.
“Young man, his stones are no good. They’re cursed and won’t turn out green. If you want to buy, you can come to my place. My stones are cheaper, only two thousand a piece.”
Shen Hua only glanced at him, waiting for the stall owner to speak. She didn't need him to tell if she was being cursed or not.
Besides, she didn't even want to look at the gloating look on his face when he spoke. He said that others were cursed when they weren't. What was his intention?
"Young man, my stones cost a thousand each, and that includes opening them."
The boss didn't seem happy at all because someone came; he still looked gloomy.
"May I ask what happened to you?"
"Young man, I'm not in any trouble, but I'm leaving tomorrow. If you want to buy stones, I'll give you a discount if you buy a lot," the man said.
A kind-hearted stall owner nearby said, "Little boy, a Taoist priest came to him a month ago and said that his stall was cursed and could not produce any green leaves. At first, he was a little skeptical and bought some to try, but none of them turned out to be green leaves. Now, he has no income and has to find a new job."
People in this line of work value luck, and they even believe in being cursed.
After listening to the man's words, Shen Hua realized that what he said was true, as he did not refute them.
It seems that no industry is easy to work in. Even after inquiring, I can't offer any real help.
After selecting the two stones she wanted, Shen Hua paid him, and the man prepared the tools to help her open the stones.
The others shook their heads, thinking that Shen Hua was just there to have fun and that buying stones was just a side thing. Seeing that she was dressed in an extraordinary manner, they decided to let her buy some stones from their stall later.
The man drove very carefully, making one cut, but no green came out. Everyone reacted with a sense of normalcy, and then...
"It's turning green! It's turning green!"
I don't know who shouted that, but everyone looked over, and even pedestrians crowded around.
There's no way around it; the phrase "green" sounds like winning the lottery here—it's incredibly pleasant to hear.
The man was currently cutting the smaller stone, as requested by Chen Hua. She needed to see the effect of this stone before deciding whether to cut a second one.
More and more people gathered around, and the man became a little nervous because the stones he had found had turned green, which gave him hope.
If the curse is broken, his business can return to normal, or even reach new heights.
His palms were sweating, so he wiped them on his clothes a few times and continued cutting carefully.
Shen Hua hadn't expected that people here were so obsessed with finding greenery. In just a short while, the area around her was packed with people, far more than when she had just been walking by.
Some people were still panting, clearly having run over after hearing the green leaves.
Chen Hua continued to look, and then the second and third cuts were all green. Looking at it this way, it was already as big as two hands holding together.
The others were so nervous that their breathing slowed down, and some even forgot to breathe.
The quality of this green is somewhat like imperial green, and it's such a large piece! This is going to be a windfall!
Shen Hua felt that the jade wasn't as exaggerated as they had described, and he almost forgot to breathe.
Finally, with the man's careful cutting, it all came out.
"This is Imperial Green, and it's this big too. I haven't seen it in many years."
