The man in blue had been observing this scene the whole time. He didn't stop his shop assistant from making things difficult for the little girl, because he also wanted to see if the little girl's stone was really as she thought.
You can find something good inside every stone.
The people around were also shocked by the 10-fold compensation, and they all wanted to know if there would be anything good inside these stones.
Time passed slowly, and the stone had been sawed in half. Everyone was waiting to see if anything could be found inside.
Luo Yunhe wasn't in a hurry.
Her goal today was to sell all these stones, and not only sell them, but sell them at a high price.
She initially ordered a stone for ten taels of silver, but since the shop assistant came to her door himself, she simply increased the price to thirty taels.
If she sells all her stones today, then they can start planning to build a house.
As Luo Yunhe pondered, she sat there calmly and waited patiently.
"They're out, they're out..."
Someone shouted, and the stone being cut suddenly snapped in two.
However, the two halves of the stone remained lying on the ground, and none of the people around could see clearly whether there was anything inside the stone.
Seemingly to create suspense, the two master craftsmen did not immediately reveal the internal structure of the stone. Instead, they carefully put the stone back together and handed it to the worker in front of everyone.
The man was also a little excited. He didn't believe for a second what good things could be found inside a fist-sized rock. He was determined to get the 300 taels; it would be revenge for being scolded that morning.
"Open it..."
"That's right! Open it quickly and let everyone see, this is 10 times the compensation!"
It seemed that the waiter wanted to embarrass Luo Yunhe, so he took the stone and followed the crowd to Luo Yunhe.
"Young lady, I've already cut the stone out. I'm giving you one last chance. Are you sure there's nothing inside that would warrant 10 times the compensation?"
"I'm sure!" Luo Yunhe's tone remained firm.
Her confidence surprised those around her. At this point, she could have easily avoided paying ten times the compensation by saying a few soft words, but she remained so defiant.
Immediately, everyone began to shake their heads and sigh, feeling that this young girl was far too young and unaware of the wickedness of human nature.
"Alright, alright, don't say I'm bullying you. I've given you many chances, but you didn't cherish them. So don't blame me for being impolite."
Everyone here can testify for me, so you'd better prepare 300 taels of silver!
The guy genuinely didn't believe that such stones could yield anything good, so without even looking at them, he opened the two stones right in front of everyone and placed them there.
"Look, everyone saw it! What could possibly be found in a stone like that? He has to pay me 300 taels of silver. You can all be witnesses!"
Everyone fell silent.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the stone in his hand, and no one spoke; the scene was deathly silent.
Luo Yunhe didn't even need to look at their actions to know what everyone was thinking at that moment.
The guy waited for a long time but didn't get a response from the people around him. He was a little confused and didn't understand why they were all staring at the stone in his hand.
"What's so interesting about this broken rock? It didn't cut anything good out of it. You all have to be my witnesses, this is 10 times the compensation!"
He continued rambling on and on, making everyone look at him as if he were a fool. Some people couldn't help but remind him.
"Would you like to take a look at the stone in your hand?"
The waiter: "..." Seeing that everyone's gazes were different, he realized what was happening and quickly focused his attention on the stone in his hand. When he saw the stone, he let out a cold breath.
Some people didn't believe it, so they quickly took out a candle, lit it, and put it over the stone.
"Young master, these materials are excellent..."
"Indeed, this jade is incredibly fine and translucent; it's definitely top-grade..."
"That's right. Although we've seen our fair share of good stuff, finding such a valuable depressant in this little stone is definitely a huge win..."
"It's a pity that this thing was cut in half; it's really a shame. It can only be used to make pendants..."
Everyone was amazed.
When the young man saw that the stone in his hand had indeed yielded something, he was extremely shocked, especially when he heard the people around him say that the jade was of very high quality; his face turned pale.
He knew, of course, that cutting a well-made jade piece in half would inevitably damage its price.
He never expected that such high-quality jade would be found inside this broken little stone. His expression became quite interesting; not only was 300 taels gone, but he might not even be able to sell 30 of them.
"How about that? I told you my stones could yield high-quality jade, didn't I? I didn't. You were wrong. Now you still want 10 times the compensation?"
Let me make this clear first: this stone of mine really yielded high-quality jade. You're not getting a 10x compensation; in fact, you're going to suffer a loss. After all, jade isn't something you do by simply cutting it open from the middle…”
After all, this guy had made a lot of sarcastic remarks about him earlier, and now it was his turn to be the one to retaliate.
The man looked miserable. He had only wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but who would have thought that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
If he had spent those 30 taels and then carefully polished and extracted a good piece of jade, he would have made a fortune. But instead, he cut it from the middle.
"Everyone, I still have so many stones here. Are you sure you don't want any of them? I guarantee that they can all yield jade of this quality."
"Tenfold compensation, are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
At this moment, no one hesitated.
One by one, they rushed to her stall and picked up stones.
Since they had agreed to do something together at the age of thirty-two, everyone took out thirty taels of silver and handed it over.
There are about thirty stones here in Luoyunhe.
Not long after, all thirty-odd stones were gone.
However, she had a lot of silver in her pocket.
"Master, please cut it for me first..."
"I was here first, so cut it for me first..."
While they were scrambling to cut the money, Luo Yunhe had already calculated all the money accurately and then put it away.
