Xue Huan's heartbeat quickened. She released her spiritual sense and focused on the piece of raw material in front of her. In an instant, the situation inside the raw material was revealed layer by layer, just like an onion being peeled off layer by layer by her spiritual sense.
It really works!
In this way, gambling on stones is not difficult at all for her!
Under her divine sense, these tightly wrapped woolen materials had no secrets at all!
Xue Huan was excited, and a picture appeared in front of her eyes - pieces of top-quality jade were lined up waiting to jump into her bowl!
Hahaha……
She couldn't help laughing.
Stall owner: “…”
This guy must be a fool! What a shame for that handsome face.
Xue Huan came back to her senses and noticed the stall owner's strange look. She quickly suppressed the expression on her face, and focused her mind on scanning the stall.
In novels about gambling on gemstones, the protagonist obtains some special ability, such as the ability to see through something, and immediately becomes very successful in the gambling on gemstones circle. His net worth also rises rapidly, and all kinds of handsome men (or beautiful women) look at him differently and rush to surround him.
That's so cool.
Now she also has a golden finger, not like what is written in the novel, at least she can have as many jades as she wants? Imperial green and glass jade, those should be no big deal, right?
However, reality once again told her that life is not a novel.
She swept the entire stall and found a piece of rough jade. The jade looked dry, or to use a disgusting analogy, like a piece of green dry poop.
It is not very big. If you dig up the stone layer on the outside that is as big as a washbasin, you can only get a piece that is slightly bigger than a child's fist.
That's it, she's too lazy to buy it.
If she wants to buy something, she has to buy the best quality!
The better the quality of the jade, the more spiritual energy it can absorb and the higher its utilization rate. Those of poor quality will just take up space when you buy them.
Xue Huan walked towards the next stall disappointedly.
That’s it?
That’s it?!
That's it—
Hey, the jade in this piece is so beautiful!
It is very pure, just like ice, and its color is like the willow leaves that have just sprouted in early spring, tender yellow with a hint of green, which is pleasing to the eye!
The key is that it is not small in size. The outer skin is less than as thick as a fingernail. After wiping off this layer of stone skin, the inside is full of jade!
It’s as big as a small watermelon!
Xue Huan stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how much is this stone?"
Rough material is the name for jadeite raw stone. Insiders know it. She deliberately said it was a stone to act like a layman. Of course, she was actually a layman, but she knew a little more common sense than the average layman.
The stone Xue Huan pointed to was not the one she liked, but another, larger one.
The boss knew she was from out of town the moment he saw her. He thought he had finally landed a good deal. "Sir, you have excellent taste. You picked the best piece on my stall right away. Look at the emerald green color. I'm sure it will turn out to be a top-notch jadeite. If you want it, I'll give you a fair price. Take it for fifty taels."
Haha, a piece of green leather, actually asked her for fifty taels?
Xue Huan frowned, "Why is it so expensive? What about this piece?"
She pointed to the piece she had initially taken a fancy to.
The stall owner picked up the stone casually to use as a stall marker and had no intention of selling it. When he heard her asking about it, he was delighted, thinking that this young man was really a white-knuckle person who even asked about something as trivial as a footing.
He estimated the price and said, "If you want it, I'll sell it to you at a discount. It's also an opening price. Ten taels."
Xue Huan bargained: "I'll take it for five taels."
"Oh, sir, I can't even get in with five taels. You're asking too much, aren't you? Nine taels, it really can't be any less."
Xue Huan could be even more ruthless: "Four ounces."
The stall owner said: "Eight taels, take it, it can't be any lower!"
Xue Huan: "Three taels, if you don't sell it to me, I'll leave." She made a gesture to stand up.
The stall owner hurriedly called him over, "Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you for three taels. Young master, you look at gold and jade as precious, but I didn't expect you to be so hard-nosed when it comes to bargaining."
Xue Huan paid the bill. "After all, my money didn't just come from the wind, did it? The less I spend, the better. The money I save can buy a lot of meat buns."
The stall owner was at a loss, "Forget it, I'll just consider it a loss for the sake of publicity."
But I was thinking, three taels is three taels, after all I picked it up for free.
Xue Huan took out a cloth bag, put the rough material containing jade into it, and carried it away.
Then she walked all the way to the bridge, but she didn't find the jade that made her heart beat.
That's right, how could jade be so easily found? If it weren't rare enough, it wouldn't be sold at such a high price, even if it weren't just for food or drink.
After entering the city, Xue Huan felt an atmosphere that was completely different from Fengchi.
The buildings here are mostly made of brick and stone, with a bright and simple style. Some houses have large portraits painted on their walls with bright colors.
The clothes of the people on the street were also quite distinctive. She also saw many people of different ethnic groups with high noses, deep eyes and strange eye colors. She didn't know whether they were ethnic minorities or came from the Western Regions.
In addition, it seems that wearing conical hats is very popular among people here. Most women wear a small and exquisite conical hat decorated with jade or feathers and dyed with bright colors.
More like a decoration.
Just like the veil hats worn by women in Fengchi County.
I guess the women here wear hats to protect themselves from the sun, after all, the weather here is sunny all year round and there is plenty of sunshine.
Xue Huan found an inn to stay in and asked for a room on the upper floor.
The room was spacious and divided into two rooms by a screen.
It was noon, and Xue Huan ordered a table full of food. Although she basically didn't eat meals made with ordinary ingredients anymore, she wanted to try the local flavor.
Fried bait blocks, dry pickled vegetable soup, crispy pork pot, fried crabs, and fried rice cakes are all local specialties, recommended to her by the waiter.
Xue Huan tasted them one by one and thought they all tasted pretty good.
After dinner, she did not go out again, but stayed in the house and began to cut the stone with her bare hands.
He transferred his spiritual power to his hands and peeled off the outer layer of the rough material bit by bit.
Without the right stone-cutting tools, this was the only way she could do it.
Fortunately, this also has an advantage, which is that no jade will be wasted.
When the outer layer of stone was almost peeled off, she took out a snowflake knife and slowly scraped off the last layer of stone skin.
Finally, a piece of jade the size of a cantaloupe appeared in front of her.
She dipped the jade into a basin of water and washed off the debris. In an instant, the full appearance of the jade was revealed.
Crystal clear, fresh and vibrant colors, so beautiful!
There are water droplets on it, making it look even more moist.
Xue Huan held it in her hands and looked at it for a long time, unable to let it go.
I bought such a big piece of jade with only three taels of silver. What a huge profit!
This profit is probably at least a hundred times, no, a thousand times.
No wonder so many people have plunged into this circle. If you are lucky enough to bet on a rise, getting rich overnight is not a dream at all!
However, this possibility is actually extremely low.
