Chapter 131 132. Raw Stone
Private room of Fuxian Restaurant
Deng Yuanhang and Gu Wenheng both sneezed.
"Someone is thinking of you," Zhou Ping smiled. After passing the imperial examination together last time, the three of them became closer.
Gu Wenheng touched his nose and said, "I think someone is plotting something. I just felt a chill in my head, which is not a good thing."
Deng Yuanhang, "When did Junior Brother Gu learn to calculate? It's obviously the beginning of winter and the weather is getting colder. He just had a cold wind and reacted. How can you say he calculated it?"
Gu Wenheng did not argue with him, "Brother Deng is right, it's true, maybe I was wrong.
I just don't know why the two brothers called me here today?"
"Of course it's a good thing," Deng Yuanhang hooked his finger mysteriously, and waited until they got closer before he spoke, "A batch of raw stones has arrived in this city. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"
"Raw stone?" Zhou Ping was confused. What was this?
Gu Wenheng's eyes flashed, and he looked at Deng Yuanhang quietly.
Deng Yuanhang misunderstood that neither of them knew, and immediately became proud, "As the name suggests, it is a stone, but this stone is not simple, there is a lot of secrets in it."
"What Qiankun?" Zhou Ping's face was full of curiosity.
Deng Yuanhang took off the jade pendant he was about to wear and said, "Look, mine is beautiful!"
Looking at the tiger pattern logo on it, Zhou Ping said, "Don't you always wear this jade pendant? I'm used to it a long time ago."
"Hey, who told you this? Do you know where this jade came from?" Deng Yuanhang turned his head and looked at Gu Wenheng, "Wenheng, do you know?"
Gu Wenheng, "I've read some books before and know that this thing is cut out of stone, and it's all natural, it's what it should be."
"So you know everything, but you pretended so well before," Deng Yuanhang put the jade pendant back on in an instant, "This is a minimal cost for the biggest gain, what do you think? Are you interested?"
"Then this isn't gambling?" Zhou Ping also reacted.
"These are two different things. Nine out of ten times you lose when gambling, but when you bet on stones, you have at least a 50% chance of losing."
Gu Wenheng, "One knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, and one knife makes you wear sackcloth. This is not much better than gambling."
Deng Yuanhang didn't care. "You two amateurs are too cautious. We are just playing a few rounds out of curiosity. As long as we don't get too addicted, what you are worried about will never happen.
If we are lucky, maybe we can earn enough money to take the exam in the future."
Zhou Ping was somewhat tempted after hearing this, as his grandmother had just fallen ill and had spent a large sum of money, and his family was also a little tight on supporting him in his studies.
Gu Wenheng carefully took out a small silver note from his brocade bag, "Is this all I have on me right now? Is it enough for a game?"
Deng Yuanhang nodded, "That's enough, let's not buy those that have already opened the window. Those things are expensive, and I may not be able to afford them."
Zhou Ping also gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go with you to take a look. If it's too expensive, I'll just go there to broaden my horizons."
Deng Yuanhang naturally agreed, "Then let's make an appointment. Let's go back and tell our family. There will be a carriage from the escort agency coming at noon, and we can catch it."
"So urgent?"
Deng Yuanhang, "You don't understand this, do you? If you don't go there early, the good stuff will be picked up by others, and there will only be some crappy ones left. There is no need to make a special trip.
I received the news relatively early, but even so, the market will open tonight."

Gu Wenheng never expected that as soon as he mentioned gambling on stones, Jin Qianqian placed a large pile of stones in front of him.
"Can you tell me if there is anything you didn't collect?" Gu Wenheng had been to the gambling stone field several times and naturally had some knowledge about these stones.
It seems that this girl is lucky. Even if she bought all the gambling materials, the performance of these stones is still pretty good, and she should be able to produce some good materials.
Jin Qianqian, "I was in Yunnan at the time, and was tricked by a guide into a gambling stone street. Since I had to buy things to store anyway, I just picked some.
If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten about it.
Take a look at these, what are their appearances like, can they be cut into jadeite?"
Gu Wenheng gestured with his hand knife in the air, "These require tools, I can't open them."
Jin Qianqian threw out another set of stone-cutting tools, looking excited, "The boss saw that I bought a lot, so he specially gave me a small set. How about it? Do you want to come and win the prize?"
Gu Wenheng looked at the sky speechlessly. What kind of wife is this? She is simply a female version of Doraemon.
Seeing that Jin Qianqian was so excited and the agreed time was not yet up, he also wanted to play a bit.
In order not to disturb the neighbors, and considering that these power sources could not be put on the market, the two of them returned to the space with a large amount of raw stones.
"It doesn't seem to be a big deal," Jin Qianqian checked while watering the plants. There was still no flesh color at all, so it was probably useless.
"Don't worry," Gu Wenheng held the cutting machine steadily and continued in another direction.
I don't know how many times I cut it, but I finally saw a hint of green in the corner of the stone.
Jin Qianqian smiled as she watered the plants, "Luckily I see hope, otherwise I would have asked you to turn these into mahjong, at least this would have some value."
"This is much more valuable than a set of mahjong. It looks like the water content is quite good. It should be ice type." Gu Wenheng made his judgment based on his previous experience and his understanding of the collections at home.
"The little guy is really good at playing hide-and-seek," Jin Qianqian stared at the green with curiosity, "We almost cut it all the way through before it showed up."
“…”
"It looks like a glass ball," Jin Qianqian exclaimed. It was round and shiny, and it was so attractive that people couldn't let it go. "If I had a pair of them, the price would go up quickly."
"It's great to have such a harvest from the first stone. When there's a chance, I'll ask someone to customize this stone into a set of jewelry so that Qianqian can dress up beautifully."
Jin Qianqian: “…” I need to take a small notebook to keep track of the accounts, so that the senior won’t deny them in the future.

Gu Wenheng hurriedly changed his clothes, took the cakes and food box that Jin Qianqian had just handed over, and hurried over to the carriage they had taken before setting out.
"You're taking too long. I thought you were going to desert the battlefield and I didn't even plan to wait for you." Deng Yuanhang quickly handed over a hot water bottle. It was really cold outside, especially the biting wind.
Gu Wenheng took it with one hand and put the food box aside, "When you go out, you have to give your family a few more instructions.
And I'm watching it, so I won't be late."
Zhou Ping looked at the lacquer box in front of him and secretly opened a corner. "It seems that we are in for a treat. I didn't expect you to prepare so much."
