Chapter 446: Opening Stone
Nan Yan gritted her teeth again and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he took Ran Xiaoyu's hand and walked forward, saying to the middle-aged man: "Boss, let's make a bet."
When everyone saw that the two young women were actually going to gamble on stones, they all screamed in shock.
The middle-aged man took a look at them. They were just two ordinary-looking girls. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You two, bet one hundred taels each. Do you have the money?"
Nan Yan took out her purse from her arms, but was still a little hesitant.
After all, it was only one hundred taels. If I were to receive a salary in the palace, it would take me several years to earn that much.
But after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and handed it over.
When the boss opened it, he found a silver note worth one hundred taels inside. He immediately smiled, and the people around him also looked at the two unremarkable girls with admiration.
The boss said, "Which one do you two want to choose?"
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at Ran Xiaoyu. She nodded, walked forward, picked up a stone, pinched it, weighed it twice, looked at it in the sunlight for a while, then put it down and picked up the next one.
I looked at all three stones in turn.
Then she bit her lower lip and looked at the three stones, frowning.
Nan Yan said softly, "Xiao Yu, which one is it? Have you chosen it?"
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at her and said, "I, I have made my choice, but—I'm not completely sure."
“…”
"Nan Yan, do you really want to gamble?"
“…”
"That's all the money you have."
Nan Yan frowned and looked at the boss's smug look, then thought about how many people he had cheated out of their money and how many families had gone bankrupt.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, you choose, I believe you!"
Seeing her say this, Ran Xiaoyu finally took a deep breath and pointed to the stone in the middle: "Let's choose this one."
The shop owner wasn't surprised at all, and said with a smile, "Okay, this is it. I'll cut it for you right away."
After saying that, he called the waiter behind him.
"Come here and open the stone for the two distinguished guests."
The waiter was about to come over and pick up the stone they had chosen, but Ran Xiaoyu was quick-witted and took the stone away before him, saying, "No need, we'll open it ourselves!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the boss.
The boss was also a little panicked, and said with a smile: "Dear guest, the stones you selected are all given to our Baibao Pavilion to open on your behalf."
Nan Yan stepped forward and said, "We chose it ourselves, so we have to open it ourselves."
The boss was stunned.
But he immediately said, "Let's not bother you two. Let us take care of it."
Nan Yan looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "Boss, why do you insist on cutting the stone yourself?"
“…”
"Is there any difference between us and you?"
When they heard her words, everyone around them started talking.
The boss didn't dare to argue with them in public. After all, stone cutting cannot be forced.
The boss thought about it, then suddenly laughed again and said, "Okay, I'll do as you two distinguished guests say."
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at Ran Xiaoyu: "Open!"
Ran Xiaoyu nodded and put the stone under the cutting knife. There was a little cold sweat on the palm of her hand holding the knife, but she cut it hard!
Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened.
With a "click" sound, a piece of stone was cut open and slowly fell down, revealing what was inside.
