Ouyang Zhenyu, the chubby boy, and Chu Wu entered the original warehouse.
They had just eaten a big meal and were starving.
There's not much good food here, unlike the delicious meals you can find back home. The food here is quite simple.
Although it looks like there are many different kinds of dishes, the taste is actually just average.
However, as long as we can fill our stomachs, we really can't ask for too much right now.
At least there was wine and meat.
Having finished his meal, Ouyang Zhenyu paid no attention to the time of day and headed straight for the warehouse.
Finding the Stone King means selecting one stone from among these stones.
It is the heaviest and is of such high quality as the "King of Stones" jadeite.
The requirements for meeting all these conditions are very high.
Chu Wu and the little fat boy were just decorations; they couldn't help at all. They could only sit on the stone at the warehouse entrance and wait there while Ouyang Zhenyu was busy working inside the warehouse.
This huge warehouse is too big.
Fortunately, Ouyang Zhenyu's goal was clear: if the stone wasn't big enough, it wouldn't be of any use.
Finding jade in a small stone is easy, but a small stone cannot be crowned with the title of "King of Stones".
So he was selecting from among the giant stones, which presented a significant challenge.
Many of the stones look big, but when you actually touch them and see the surface, it's quite disappointing.
The quality of the jade is subpar.
When dawn broke, Ouyang Zhenyu walked out of the warehouse looking somewhat haggard.
When the chubby boy saw Ouyang Zhenyu's appearance, he knew that they hadn't found him.
"We don't have any in the warehouse, so we'll have to go to your mines and see if we can find any newly mined stones. Maybe there'll be some hope."
Ouyang Zhenyu was also somewhat helpless. Under such circumstances, it was clear that if they had had a better way back then, they wouldn't have had to buy a stone from outside.
In other words, these stones had already passed through Uncle San's hands.
Third Uncle is quite capable; at least he concluded from the stones he saw that they wouldn't be of much use.
Some pieces are large, but the quality of the jade doesn't meet the requirements.
Some jadeite pieces meet the quality requirements, but their weight is insufficient.
In short, each has its own merits, but there really isn't a single stone king that meets all the requirements.
They were busy working at various mines.
Amidst this busy period, the Jade Conference finally convened.
But at this point, their family couldn't wait any longer, even if the Stone King didn't appear.
They also had to attend the jade trade fair.
Although the old man has woken up, he is in too poor a state to show up.
Only the eldest brother, Ya Hu, could personally attend the opening ceremony with his two younger brothers.
While the opening ceremony was underway, Ouyang Zhenyu continued searching through various mines with the chubby boy.
To be precise, he was also anxious, as it seemed that none of the stones met their requirements.
“I have already looked at all five mines owned by the chubby guy, and so far I haven’t found a suitable one.”
Yaka stood there as if struck by lightning.
Is there absolutely no hope?
"I've already looked at all five mines, it's definitely not going to work."
"Unless you have a sixth mine."
Ouyang Zhenyu was also helpless. In fact, he had already roughly scanned the ore in these five mines.
There are some very good rough stones, but they are located too deep inside.
In terms of the current mining timeline, it would take at least half a month to a month to extract any material.
The jade trade fair lasts for three days, and the "King of Stones" will make his appearance on the third day.
For now, the fake stone king can still be placed there, covered with a red cloth to pretend it's real, but when everyone bids for the stone king on the third day, its true nature will be revealed.
It will eventually come out.
The chubby boy scratched the back of his head and said.
"I do have a sixth mine, but it's an abandoned mine, so there's no need to go there."
Am I really not good enough to help?
Thinking that their family would be disgraced in three days, and that Grandpa might accidentally hurt himself in anger.
Various forces are eager to seize their property, so one can imagine the storm that awaits them.
Ouyang Zhenyu sighed.
"We'll try anything, take me to the abandoned mine. We're out of options now."
The group arrived at the abandoned mine dejectedly; to be precise, it was indeed an abandoned mine.
The mine was deserted, and weeds grew in the cracks between the rocks at the mine entrance.
It's easy to imagine how long this place has been uninhabited.
As Ouyang Zhenyu stepped into the abandoned mine entrance, he gasped in shock.
This mine is actually an old mine.
The mine was dug very deep, probably many years ago, so it took a lot of effort to reach the bottom.
Looking at the surrounding stones, I realized they were different from the five mines I had visited; the stones here were clearly very distinctive.
These stones are the waste rocks piled up outside the mine.
The colors are exactly the same.
Ouyang Zhenyu sighed. In fact, no one had any hope. He placed his hand on the stone wall.
Yaka sighed and said,
"I know it was really just a stroke of luck."
How easy is it to find a stone king?
Let's go back. I accept my fate.
I think the brothers are ready for the final battle in three days.
I'd rather use this time to go back and prepare to sell some of the things I have on hand.
At that point, I'm afraid everyone will gang up on him.
"I must stay by my grandfather's side; I can't let him leave with regrets."
