Every time someone finds green in the gambling stone market, merchants will set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The store advertises that green has been released again and invites everyone to come and buy it. Although this is intended to attract business, it is also because there are not many green coins on the scene, so there are not so many leaks to pick up.
It is said that each of them will process hundreds of pieces of raw stones today, which means the two of them together will process two hundred pieces. Such a big deal is really exciting.
Anyone who has anything to do with gambling is more or less addicted and has no resistance to such things. Many people even come with benches, for fear that they will have to queue too far and cannot see the people ahead. There are also many people holding binoculars in their hands, looking as if they are waiting to see what is going on.
The organizers divided the ten pieces of raw stone into two sides and placed them on a high platform, just to warm up the atmosphere in advance. Sure enough, there was a lot of discussion and controversy in the audience.
"I think the one on the left is more likely to have green. Although I haven't seen it in person, if you look at its basic appearance, the blue and white are very uniform."
"I still have to see the Shar-Pei, but it's too far away and I can't see it clearly. Oh, I really want to go up and take a look, but I can't squeeze through." The person who spoke to me scratched his head and cheek, anxious like a monkey.
Someone not far ahead kindly told him.
"I used a telescope to see it clearly. It's a yellow sand peel, probably from an old field. The possibility of it producing green is indeed quite high."
"Hey, brother, can you lend me your telescope?"
"That won't do. I still have to watch it."
A young man came over from a distance carrying a large canvas bag.
"Telescope, telescope, high-powered telescope, only fifty dollars, only fifty dollars."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he called over a group of people.
"This is too expensive. It's only worth twenty dollars." This person wanted to bargain, which is human nature. In his opinion, since he was bargaining for these people, the people around him should respond to him. It would be beneficial for everyone to lower the price together.
To his surprise, the people around him started talking at once: "Give me one, it's fifty yuan."
"I'll do two, I'll do two."
"Brother, how many eyes do you have? Why don't you buy two? Don't you see there are only so many in this bag? You should leave one for someone else."
"I have two eyes, and my brother has two eyes too. Why do you worry about me spending money on things?"
The man who had bargained before saw that there were only a few binoculars left in the bag. He became a little anxious and hurriedly took out fifty yuan and stuffed it into the young man's hand. He also bought one, otherwise they would be gone.
Some people also saw the business opportunity and quietly placed bets in the audience. The bets were not big, only one or two yuan, but it attracted quite a few people. For a one or two yuan, everyone just treated it as a fun bet.
Du Ruo and Mr. Smith sat opposite each other at a long desk, each with five pieces of raw stone in front of them.
The organizer also wanted to attract attention. Besides, gambling on stones requires a good start. Among the 100 pieces of rough stones sent by the two people, the best ones were selected and placed in front of each of them, just to get a good start.
Ling Yun, Yuan Tingchuan and Ji Bailin were all sitting behind Du Ruo. Mr. Smith opposite was talking to the assistant behind him. He had a smile on his face and looked very relaxed, as if he didn't take Du Ruo seriously at all.
When the time came, the gongs, drums and firecrackers prepared by the organizers rang out together, shaking the earth in an instant.
In the smoke of firecrackers, the two people smiled at each other. Mr. Smith smiled and made a please gesture, indicating that ladies first.
Du Ruo nodded to indicate that she had no objection, it didn't matter whether she opened it first or later.
In the middle of the platform is a stone-cutting machine, and behind it stand several stone-cutting masters, all waiting in line. Such large-scale stone-cutting is rare, and one person cannot handle the whole process.
The first piece of raw material in front of Du Ruo was neatly placed in the middle of the stone-cutting machine. The first master to start working on it was proud of it. With a smile on his face, he exhaled lightly, and the stone-cutting machine in his hand began to turn.
There was a violent friction sound, and for a moment there was silence on and off the stage.
There was a huge crowd of people under the stage, but no one spoke. Their eyes were fixed on the first piece of rough stone. Many of them had placed bets, although it was just one or two pieces for fun, but the game was full of heartbeats, and everyone's heart was in their throat at the same time.
It is worthy of being the first batch of rough stone materials carefully selected by the organizer. As soon as it was cut, a piece of lush green appeared on the surface of the stone.
There were exclamations of surprise from the audience, both on and off the stage. Actually, people weren't just concerned about the one or two dollars; those who enjoyed watching the stone being cut mainly loved the moment they spotted the green. That delightful touch of color was a delight to see.
As the stone-cutting machine turned, the raw stone was broken open bit by bit. It turned out to be a piece of glutinous jadeite. Although it was not too pure, it was a good bet after all. There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
The organizers breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other. Although it was not top-grade jadeite, it was still a good start. It was a good start.
As for gambling on stones, one cut can make you poor, one cut can make you rich, and one cut can make you lose everything. No matter how good the raw stone looks, no one can be sure that there is green inside. This is a gift from God, and human power cannot change it.
The stone cutter picked up the first piece of rough material in front of Smith and put it on the stone cutter.
The friction sound was heard again, and within a few seconds a clear green color appeared on the surface of the stone, causing an uproar in the audience.
"Oh, this color is at least a high ice type, right?"
"The water looks good, it's rising sharply."
The stone-cutting master looked at the jade in his palm, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. No matter who the raw stone belonged to, it made people feel happy to see such fresh and clear green appear in the world.
Smith glanced at Du Ruo casually, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
He is really good at gambling on stones. He has been doing this for at least twenty years. Even ordinary gambling on stones masters dare not say that they are better than him. He has always been very proud.
Du Ruo lowered his eyes and said nothing. Generally, if a master of gambling on stones picked out 30% to 40% of the stones were green, it would represent a high level of skill. This thing was not just about the performance, otherwise so many people would not have lost their fortunes.
The raw materials that Smith picked out were all ones she had handled. It cannot be said that there were no fish that slipped through the net, but there were definitely not many, and there were definitely no big fish.
Perhaps Du Ruo's luck was always a little bad. Among the five rough stones selected by the organizer for her first batch of stone cutting, there were only three glutinous ice types, one high ice type, and one white cotton type.
