Chapter 118 Buying Waste Stone for Three Pounds



Han Zhenjian finally found a piece of good material and was about to ask the price when he suddenly felt a shadow behind him. Turning his head, he saw a fat man with a big belly, elegant clothes and a stern face. It was actually the Crane Prince he met at the door.

The Crane Lord, who looked so imposing and rich without even looking at Han Zhenjian, asked the stall owner directly about the price: "Why is there no price tag on this piece? How much is it?"

The stall owner is a dark middle-aged man with high cheekbones:

"Reporting to Lord He, this piece has just been delivered, and I haven't had time to write down the price yet. I originally planned to pay three taels of silver. If you want it, you can take it directly."

When Lord He heard this, he frowned: "So cheap?"

There is no good thing that comes cheap. Looking more closely, this stone is indeed not very good, and there is not even a python pattern on it.

Lord Crane immediately turned around and walked away in disgust.

I gave up on the sure-win rough stone with two emerald green petals inside and instead looked at a large rough stone next to it that was priced at thirty-one taels.

Han Zhenjian smiled and said to the stall owner, "Three taels of silver, right? I'll take this one."

"Uh. OK."

The stall owner hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The three taels of silver mentioned earlier were a deliberate exaggeration of the value of the stone in order to pave the way for giving it to Lord Crane. In fact, the stone itself is not valuable and is worthless if given away for free.

But I didn't expect that there would be someone willing to buy it at this price.

After paying the silver readily, Han Zhenjian immediately took the stone cutting knife and started working himself.

When Lord He heard that the child bought the raw material he had just seen, he looked at Han Zhenjian seriously and found that this was the nosy child he met at the door just now.

See Han Zhenjian pay the bill readily.

Lord Crane couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Haha, young people are young people. They just pick a small one and buy it. Anyone who knows a little about this stone can see that there won't be any good things in it.

He had been in a high position for a long time, so how could he not know that the three taels of silver the vendor had just quoted was just a false price.

Normally this stone could be sold for one or two taels of silver.

"I guess this is another rookie who comes here for the first time."

Lord Crane chuckled.

The deeper you get into the business of gambling on gemstones, the more cautious you become. For those who just buy without even touching or looking at it, nine out of ten are rookies and the remaining one is a fool.

However, Prince He didn't like Han Zhenjian, a nosy kid, so of course he wouldn't remind him.

It's a pity that Han Zhenjian is indeed a rookie who came here for the first time, but the words of a greenhorn may not necessarily be true...

Several people who were also picking stones nearby were surprised to see Han Zhenjian choose this piece of human head without even looking at it. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Young man, you only spent three taels of silver on such a thing?"

"Three taels of silver? This piece is worth at most two taels."

"Young man, you are too impulsive. Is this your first time?"

"These three taels of silver are used to buy experience and lessons."

"You dare to buy this stone for only three taels?"

"You're too young, kid. Look, there's not much fine sand on it, and it's so small that it doesn't even have green. If you buy it, you'll definitely get a lot of money!"

Han Zhenjian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

A bunch of nonsense, they sound so professional and knowledgeable, but they even regard such a good raw stone as worthless.

So, in fact, the word "professional" should not be used in the business of gambling on stones. No matter how long you are in it, you still have to rely on luck. There are no so-called gambling on stones experts, and there are countless mistakes made by those veteran gambling on stones.

Han Zhenjian pretended to be a young man who really knew nothing and said, "I just go for this small and ugly piece of meat, so I use my sword to attack it with an unconventional move, and often hit it with one strike!"

His words were very childish, and others laughed when they heard them. They said in a mature manner: "Hahaha, young man, you are wrong. Gambling on stones is not as simple as you think!"

"Being small can produce good things? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard."

"Little kid, if you cut it empty, it won't count as a hole, because you don't know how to see at all."

Han Zhenjian was stunned, frowned and asked: "What is an eye?"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

He doesn’t even know such common industry terms. He is a complete newbie.

"Da Yan" has a literal meaning and is usually used in the antique world. It is similar to slapping someone in the face, that is, mistaking fake things for real, and real things for fake. It is like this group of people who point to a piece of raw stone with two green butts inside and say that it is worthless. They are lying with their eyes open, which is very ironic.

On the contrary, many young people can make a lot of money by just picking up a piece and cutting it.

Many experts on gambling on stones are a joke.

"It's okay, I just bought it for fun." Han Zhenjian shrugged indifferently, looking very positive, and immediately said, "Master, help me cut it."

All of a sudden, people passing by stopped and watched. Cutting the raw materials was a very exciting thing. Whether you would lose money or make a huge profit could be determined in a matter of seconds. Regardless of whether they were optimistic about the raw materials themselves, everyone would pay attention.

After all, everything is possible.

But as for this piece of raw material... most people still wanted to gloat over it, especially the Crane Prince who had been meddled by Han Zhenjian. Seeing the cutting start, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Young man."

Others also felt the same way: "I think the young man will jump up and down after this knife is cut."

"This piece of wool doesn't look very good."

"You can cut it yourself, so you don't have to worry about cutting it badly."

In the gambling stone shop, there are special people to cut the stones, but Han Zhenjian does it himself.

“Click…”

Han Zhenjian slashed with his sword, and a piece of stone skin fell off. As expected, there was still stone inside.

"Look, I'll tell you."

"How can this kind of stone increase in value so much?"

"Two taels of silver are just a waste."

Only Han Zhenjian was not in a hurry at all and slashed down again.

The two green buttocks were hidden a bit deep, otherwise there would be no python pattern. In addition, the cut just now was made at the thickest part of the stone skin, so of course it was impossible for the green to show through immediately.

"Little kid, there's no need to cut it. It's impossible to get anything out of such a rotten piece of material."

"Yeah, just throw it away."

Having said that, everyone still watched with great interest. For some reason, teasing the newbies always gave these so-called veterans some strange sense of superiority.

Another cut, no green.

Han Zhenjian was not in a hurry: "Cut again."

Another cut, still no green.

Lord Crane sneered heavily.

Most people were too lazy to complain, and a few shook their heads and left in boredom.

The third knife begins...

And the corners of Han Zhenjian's mouth began to rise slightly.

After a while, when the stone skin faded away, a touch of icy and translucent green suddenly appeared in everyone's sight...

Everyone: “???????”

Thanks to all the friends who invested and voted. It will be on the shelves soon.
