Song Ruan asked Yang Bin to put the two raw stones she picked out on the bucket cart, and then she took another raw stone that made the jade pendant have no reaction. There were three pieces in total, and she went to pay for them together.
"The three pieces of raw stone are worth 60,000 shells in total. Please keep your small card."
The attendant wrote the new balance on Song Ruan's card and stamped it with a gold seal, indicating that she had spent 60,000 Bei.
Three pieces of raw stones cost 60,000 shells, a price Song Ruan could still accept.
Then, she followed Yang Bin to the stone cutting area.
There are three machines in total cutting the raw stones at the same time, and even so, you still have to wait in line.
It hasn’t been long since the start, but many people have already bought raw stones to be cut, and they often buy several pieces at a time, as if it’s free.
"Oh, it crashed again." The onlookers in front of a machine sighed.
"Yes, this is his last rough stone."
"Yes, a total of eight pieces of raw stone were cut. The one million shells he brought were all used up, and not a single piece was increased in value."
"It is said that gambling on stones can make you rich or poor with one cut, and it is indeed true."
Many people who come here with the mentality of picking up a bargain are more or less scared.
Faced with the noisy discussions around him, the man who speculated in stones and lost all his money did not react at all and left the gambling field in a daze.
"Whose turn is it to cut the rough stone?" asked the stonecutter.
"It's our turn now. These are the three pieces." Yang Bin pointed to the raw stones loaded on the cart.
"Okay!" Two people came over and moved the raw stone from the cart to the machine, and the stonecutter started cutting without saying a word.
Although everyone who came in had admission qualifications, many of them actually came just to see it for themselves, so there were quite a few people surrounding the stone cutting area.
Seeing a new round of stone cutting, the onlookers stretched their necks to watch.
"It's green, it's green!" After cutting for a while, a sharp-eyed person noticed the green inside first.
Song Ruan was very curious about the result.
The first piece to be cut now is the one that makes the jade pendant on the chest warm.
The stonecutter stopped, and the old man tapped it lightly, and the stone split into two halves.
"It's really green!"
"Not bad, this seems to be the first rough stone to produce green today, right?"
The onlookers were even more excited than Song Ruan himself, and they were discussing the cut raw stone.
"It's a glutinous icy green color, a little cottony, but it's also shiny. It's definitely going to increase in value. Madam, you're lucky." The experienced stonecutter congratulated.
"Madam, are you going to sell this jade?" The person who came to collect the jade material immediately made a move.
"Sell." The Wadi language that Song Ruan had learned temporarily finally came in handy.
"I'll buy it for two hundred thousand. Madam, will you sell it?" The person who was buying the material offered the price.
Song Ruan shook his head with a profound look and said nothing.
Because she didn't understand the market and didn't understand Wadi language, she was afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, so she could only pretend to shake her head.
After all, the first price he offered couldn't be the highest price, right?
"You think it's too low? Then the price is two hundred and twenty thousand. Madam, this is the glutinous ice type, so this is the price."
After hearing Yang Bin's translation, Song Ruan still shook her head at the man.
"You're offering 220,000 because you're hoping to get a bargain. Although this is a glutinous ice-type jade, it's large in size and has few cracks. It can't be worth more than this! I'll offer 320,000!" A white-haired old man intervened.
"You!" The person who was collecting the materials had his plan disrupted by this person who showed up midway. "Hmph, I'll take 350,000 then."
"Since you offered 350,000, I'll give it to you." The gray-haired old man withdrew decisively.
But his interruption made the person who collected the materials spend almost twice as much money, which really made him angry.
The balance on Song Ruan's card increased by another 350,000 yuan, but she privately transferred 10,000 yuan to the old man who had just raised the price as a thank-you gift.
"Thank you, ma'am." The old man introduced with a smile, "I am doing jade business in Wadi. If you have suitable materials in the future, you can consider me."
"Of course, thank you for your help just now." She knew nothing about jadeite and didn't understand the market situation, so she was really grateful for his help just now.
During this period, Songruan's second piece of raw stone was already being cut.
Since the first piece just turned green, the second piece received much more attention.
"It's broken, it's broken." There was a sigh.
When this raw stone was cut open, there was no jade inside.
Based on the conditions of these two stones, Song Ruan was able to make a preliminary judgment.
If there is jade inside the stone, the jade pendant on the chest will become hot.
As for a more detailed judgment, it depends on how the third piece of raw stone is cut.
"Next is to cut the third piece of rough stone for you!" the stonecutter shouted, and then started cutting.
Song Ruan was also looking forward to it, because when she touched the raw stone, the jade pendant on her chest felt slightly warm, and she really wanted to know what the result would be.
"It's green, it's green!"
"Wow, it's high ice type! And it's a very pure emerald green!"
"Wow, this knife is really a big increase!"
The news that a high-quality ice-type jade with a true emerald green color was cut spread quickly, and many people came to visit.
"Who cut this?" The short and fat man also heard about it and couldn't wait to ask as soon as he came over.
Judging from the looks from the crowd, the short and fat man looked incredulous, "Did you cut it out?"
He saw that this woman didn't even bring a flashlight, let alone any tools. How could she be someone who knows how to gamble on stones!
Just her? She cut out a high-quality icy jadeite with a true emerald green color?
Then what about those veterans around him who are studying raw stones?
