Following Ma Jianhua's lead, the few of them quickly crossed an arch-like area in the yard and arrived at a place that was comparable to a football field.
Gradually, there were some small stalls selling basketball-sized stones with prices marked on them.
"Fifty yuan a pop, no cheating."
Shi Yanning had been to such a place before, so he looked around casually without showing any surprise.
Jin Ling'er had been observing her surroundings, but because of her own cultivation, she did not leave the team and squeeze in to take a look.
Li Yalin waved his hand, and Master Ma left with an assistant to go shopping.
"Sister-in-law, this is the largest stone factory in Yun Province. The chance of shipping goods here is the highest in the market."
Shi Yanning nodded. As soon as she came in, she felt that the jade pendant on her chest seemed to be hotter, as if it was dancing, very happily.
Joy? Isn't this an emotion that only humans can have? Could the jade pendant be a spirit?
Shi Yanning immediately denied the constant flow of heat from his chest.
"Sister-in-law, take a look and see if there is anything you like. I will buy it for you and want you to try it out?"
Ye Zheng had already stopped in front of a stall at this time, and he and Ling'er were touching the stone together, as if they were trying to see something.
The stall owner was an old man: "Look, take a look, small ones are 60, big ones are 110."
When Jin Linger heard the price, she turned around and looked at other stores. They all said fifty or one hundred.
Why is it sixty or one hundred and eleven for him?
"Other stores sell it for 50, and the size is about the same, why do you sell it for 60?"
The old man smiled proudly: "Because the stones I sell here are the best! This morning, a young man came to my stall, and when he opened it, he found that it was Huang Fei!"
Upon hearing this, the guests who were still hesitating around him hurriedly picked up the stones they had chosen and stuffed money into the old man's pockets.
Gambling on stones is something very metaphysical. It depends on luck and fate!
Therefore, buying stone from a stall that has sold jadeite before represents good luck.
"Little girl, gambling on stones, as the name suggests, is about gambling on stones, just like playing cards, you need luck, and now, there is auspiciousness here. Buy it?"
The vendor smiled and put the money into a cloth bag beside him. Ordinary people could not enter here, and no one dared to mess around inside.
"Okay, I'll buy this."
Jin Linger hugged the stone that she fell in love with at first sight and was about to pay for it, but Ye Zheng had already paid for hers and the stone he had chosen.
"Hey, this guy is really caring. Little girl, you are so lucky."
The old man was from Yunnan Province. He was just a farmer in the early days and went out to work. Later, he followed others to Myanmar Province and got in touch with gambling on stones. From then on, he could not stop.
Therefore, when he saw the two Chinese people, he was very happy and talked to them a few more words.
"Thanks."
Ye Zheng stretched out his hand, and the receptionist next to him quickly pushed out a car. Ye Zheng handed over the money, and the right to use the car belonged to Ye Zheng today.
Shi Yanning turned his head and casually glanced at the round object in the car. If you look closely, you can see some red stones on its surface. The jade pendant on his chest seemed to be even hotter.
Is this really not an illusion?
Is this jade pendant really spiritual?
Ye Zheng dragged the car: "Do you want to untie it and see?"
Jin Ling'er was extremely excited, as if she was holding a treasure.
"want!"
Li Yalin led a few people and walked a short distance, and they saw a row of shops next to each other with words "Stone Cutting" written on them.
One of the shops was crowded, so Jin Ling'er decided not to join in the fun and found a shop with fewer people.
After entering the store, there were three middle-aged men inside. Their hair color was different from that of the Chinese. When they noticed someone entering the store, they turned around and looked at them.
The scrutinizing gaze fell on Shi Yanning and the others. Li Yalin and Ye Zheng immediately stood in front to block the gaze of the three men.
The three of them withdrew their gaze and turned to watch the man in front of them cutting the stone.
Li Yalin doesn't come here often. After all, his identity is very sensitive. He came out this time with a mission.
I just didn't expect that I would run into them so easily.
"Master, I want to cut the stone." Jin Ling'er pointed at the car and said to the man who was cutting the stone.
But the man who was cutting the stone ignored her, so Ye Zheng quickly stepped forward to translate.
He said in dialect: "Hey, boss, please help us to solve this stone."
The man who was cutting the stone understood now, and he finished cutting with the knife that was making a rustling sound, leaving the stone in a patch of white.
He looked at the three people with an apologetic look, then raised his head and said, "Okay, wait a moment. I'll help this customer cut the stone first. If you're bored, you can take a look at the new goods we just got here. It's next door. That's the shop opened by my son."
The man pointed and said it was next door, but it was actually just a partition with a curtain, and you could still see some people's footsteps.
When Shi Yanning came, he also felt itchy and wanted to try out whether his previous guess was true.
So he went next door to pick out stones.
Jin Ling'er and Ye Zheng were waiting here. Li Yalin glanced at Ye Zheng, then turned around and left with Shi Yanning.
Shi Yanning walked up to the stones piled casually on the ground and found that there were stones on both sides of the store, but one side was mountain material and the other side was fine material.
"Sister-in-law, this is mountain material, mined directly from the jade mine. It has no outer skin, irregular shape, many edges and cracks, rough and loose structure, and the quality is not very good. Why don't you take a look at the seed material here?"
Li Yalin didn't want to be cheated of his money, so he quickly reminded him.
Shi Yanning nodded. Indeed, it was not an exaggeration to describe these stones as "strange in shape".
She knew that seed material was easier to produce jadeite, but she wanted to see if these stones would make her jade pendant hot.
Shi Yanning squatted down pretentiously and stroked it casually.
She still used the knowledge she had learned before and put aside some stones that were obviously inferior, as if she was curious about how ugly the stones could be.
Shi Yanning brushed past them one by one and found that these stones were not only ugly, but also cold. The jade pendant on her chest seemed not as warm as before.
Are you angry?!
Until I touched a stone partially covered with outer skin from a pile of stones. There was a little crack, but not enough for people to see its full appearance.
But when I touched it, I felt a heat, and at the same time, the jade pendant on my chest seemed to warm up, as if in response.
Shi Yanning was not short of money, so he immediately picked up the stone, gave the money, and carried the stone back to the place where it was cut.
The boss who was cutting stones in the shop was visibly happy when he saw Shi Yanning coming back with the stones.
The movements of his hands also became faster.
