Among the eight contestants, the first few wrote "water land", after all, it is visible outside. However, the answers of some people were different. Some wrote "with floating flowers", and some wrote "the size of a bowl". These are the answers based on personal experience.
When it came to Tang Yu, he wrote "water-type spring-colored jadeite, about the size of a palm."
When Xue Huan heard the referee about to read out the answer, she couldn't help but look at Tang Yu in surprise. She didn't expect that he could guess so accurately. Or perhaps it couldn't be called a guess, because the expression on his face was very determined.
Xue Huan's answer was similar to his, except that she added "purple accounts for two, green accounts for eight", also including the divided areas of the two colors.
The striking similarity of the two people's answers attracted the attention of others.
Finally the answer came out, just as Xue Huan said.
However, the purple jade was never retrieved and was mixed with a pile of waste and shipped out.
Xue Huan followed it with her spiritual sense and took a few steps to find its location. After the competition was over, she would go and pick up the purple jadeite.
In this round, only Xue Huan and Tang Yu answered correctly, but because they had to select the top three, the judges discussed and decided to conduct the next competition in the form of a challenge.
Xue Huan and Tang Yu's gambling stone skills are obviously much higher than others, so they became the champions, and the other six people can challenge them.
Each person has only one challenge opportunity. Each time they win, they will get one point. If they lose, they will lose one point.
Because Xue Huan and Tang Yu need to defend the title, this challenge is relatively unfair to them, so they both have initial points, Xue Huan two points and Tang Yu one point.
The rest received zero points.
Afterwards, everyone ranked the top three according to their scores.
This way, it's fairer for everyone.
The game became more interesting to watch, and the spectators outside the stadium became more excited.
Some people even shouted, “Place your bets, let’s see who will win the championship.”
Xue Huan also heard it and felt quite regretful. If she had not been on the field at that moment, she would have placed a bet on herself.
Xue Huan and Tang Yu stood on the stage, one on the left and one on the right, with a piece of raw material in front of each of them.
While the other contestants were still watching and comparing, one person stepped forward and said, "I want to challenge Zhao Yu!"
This man's face is somewhat similar to Bai Haochen's. He is Bai Zhiming's nephew Bai Junbo.
Don't be fooled by the fact that his name contains both "Jun" and "Bo" and you would think that he is a learned gentleman. In fact, that is not the case at all. This man usually hangs out with Deng Cong, who is also a person with all the five vices.
The only reason I've made it this far is by cheating.
Before the competition, he hired someone to compete with him and asked that person to give him some advice during the competition.
In fact, besides him, many others also used this method. However, in gambling on stones, even the most experienced people can make mistakes sometimes. Others were not as lucky as Bai Junbo. The people they hired themselves couldn't even make the cut, so how could they lead them to success?
It was only Bai Junbo, who not only had someone to guide him, but also had an uncle who was the president of the association, so it was very easy for him to do some tricks during the competition.
For example, the piece of raw material in front of Xue Huan was a fake raw material specially brought by Bai Zhiming!
If antique porcelain can be counterfeited, then so can raw materials. Moreover, the business of gambling on stones has developed very maturely, and the counterfeiting industry that has emerged as a result is also very complete.
Fake wool is not really fake and is made of something else. It is still wool, but it is made by reassembling known wool using very sophisticated techniques.
In this way, the counterfeiters will know exactly what the jade is inside and it will be difficult for them to lose.
It can be said that it was created specifically for such occasions.
That's why Bai Junbo is so confident.
Unfortunately, the person he met was Xue Huan.
Bai Junbo only knew how to recite the answers he had memorized in advance, but he didn't know that the person who forged it had also made a mistake!
Bai Junbo submitted the answer: "Bean green jadeite."
The so-called bean green ground refers to jadeite with a texture like tofu dregs and a bluish color. The value of such jadeite is naturally not high. The cost must be considered in counterfeiting. Who would be willing to use glass or ice jadeite to counterfeit?
If you have glass or ice jade, do you still need to make money by counterfeiting?
Xue Huan submitted the following answer: "A piece of pea-green jadeite, the size of a teacup, and another piece of fine white jadeite, the size of a fist, located on the lower left side of the rough material."
Hearing Xue Huan's answer, Bai Junbo laughed heartily. "How could there be two jadeite pieces from one piece of rough stone? Are you crazy about jadeite?"
Xue Huan was too lazy to pay attention to him at all.
Just stare at the stone cutter cutting the stone.
With the first cut, the jade was split in the middle, becoming two halves, revealing a bean green ground.
As usual, the stone cutter made two more cuts.
Xue Huan said, "Master, please make another cut here."
She pointed at one of the pieces of wool and made a "bevel cut" gesture.
Bai Junbo sneered, "Why should I cut it one more time? If everyone is like you, then what's the point of competing? If you lose, you lose, no matter how many more cuts you make."
Before Xue Huan could say anything, the county magistrate scolded him, "Shut up! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense here. When did Master Zhao lose?"
He then instructed the stone cutter: "Do as Mr. Zhao said and cut it again."
After this cut, a piece of fine white jade was revealed, and the size was exactly as Xue Huan said.
Bai Junbo stared at the piece of fine white jade and blurted out: "How could it be? This piece of material is clearly——"
Bai Zhiming interrupted him, "If you lose, you lose, Junbo. You're not as skilled as the other person, so you have to admit it."
The words were spoken gently, but the look in his eyes was full of stern warning.
Bai Junbo immediately shut up.
Xue Huan looked at the uncle and nephew with suspicion, feeling that there was something fishy going on between them.
Bai Junbo failed in the challenge.
On the other side, the contestant who challenged Tang Yu also failed.
Both of them had an initial score of zero, and there were no points to deduct after losing, so they were eliminated directly.
Xue Huan and Tang Yu each received one point for defending their position as champions.
There are still four people left, including Deng Xun.
Perhaps because Xue Huan was too strong, none of the four challenged her again, but instead went for Tang Yu, who was weaker.
Everyone knows that you pick on the weak.
Unfortunately, Tang Yu is only weak compared to Xue Huan. Compared with others, he is not weak.
He had been gambling and losing before. In fact, he was not addicted to gambling on stones, but wanted to summarize a set of effective gambling on stones methods.
The day he met Xue Huan was the first time he had used his own method to gamble on jadeite, but the result was disappointing. However, things took a surprising turn later. The rough material did contain jadeite, and the quality was just as he had guessed!
Gambling on stones does require skills and rules. As long as you master them, you can win nine out of ten times!
Later, when he helped Zhao Yu to cut the stone, all his methods of gambling on stones were verified!
This is also the reason why he was able to advance all the way.
Just ask yourself, how could Tang Yu, who has already mastered the method of gambling on stones, be defeated by Deng Xun and others?
