The master craftsman cuts with his machine and the whole surface becomes stone.
The stall owner, who had been a little nervous just now, immediately laughed. "Didn't you say you wanted me to eat rocks? Well, I'll see if you have the ability to do it. Do you think you're Wan Bin?"
Wan Bin is a legend who emerged from the Yuan'an Market. He was once scammed into spending 100,000 yuan on a rough stone. He cut several pieces, but all he got were junk. The best was a dry green jade worth only a few thousand yuan. Finally, he refused to give up and cut the remaining scraps. When he opened it, he found a glass jade, which was bought on the spot by a nearby jeweler for 16 million yuan.
For a long time after that, some people dreamed of becoming the next Wan Bin. Unfortunately, they all lost everything and became negative examples in the eyes of others.
In the eyes of many of the onlookers, Shi Miao was the next topic of conversation. Because she was a girl, these self-proclaimed experts treated her with even more contempt. However, due to the presence of her seemingly untouchable bodyguards, they didn't dare to speak too harshly.
Besides, Pei Yu and the others still recognized him. They couldn't afford to offend the Pei family.
Shi Miao was still calm and collected. "Cut another piece. The bottom is cut crooked."
"It's so funny! They say there's no good jade out there, but you still don't give up."
"If you can't open it, blame it on the crooked cutting. Awesome."
"Miss, you should just focus on your music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and don't waste the family's money by gambling on stones. You're such a spendthrift. If my daughter was such a jerk, I would definitely break her legs."
Wen Yuening glared at him and said, "My family is happy with it, what does it have to do with you?"
Wen Yuehan said calmly: "As long as my cousin is happy, these three hundred thousand will be worth spending."
The old man paid the money. The old master turned a deaf ear to it, changed the direction and continued cutting. The cutting on this side seemed to be no different from before.
Just as someone was about to make a mockery, Zhang Heng, a jade expert with better eyesight, suddenly pushed away the person in front of him and wiped the lime directly with his sleeve. His eyes were wide open, and the bottom foot revealed an extremely clear purple.
"Cut, keep cutting carefully!"
The stone-cutting master was also excited when he saw the purple color, and began to cut carefully along the piece.
Those who had been sarcastic were now speechless, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
What? Did she really increase her bet?
The stall owner who had originally suggested eating raw food suddenly lost his composure. "No way! This little girl is so lucky! Is this even fair?"
He was about to turn around and sneak away while everyone's attention was on the wool, but after a few seconds, he covered his head and let out a scream.
There was clearly no one in front of him, but he seemed to have bumped into something, his nose almost bleeding. His scream drew everyone's attention back to him.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat raw food?"
"Are you planning to run away?"
The stall owner's face showed an awkward expression. He was a man of great resilience, and he immediately slapped himself in the face. "I'll teach you how to be so mean, I'll teach you how to be so mean! You're so blind to recognize the great man."
He hit each side three times, and judging from the popping sounds, he hit them pretty hard.
Seeing that he took the initiative to admit his mistake, Shi Miao said nothing and removed the ghost wall.
The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and laughed, "I'll go call Lao Niu over."
Lao Niu was the stall owner from whom Shi Miao had bought the raw material. He was also notorious for ripping off tourists, and because his relatives had some influence on the street, even if others disliked him, they had no choice but to put up with him.
If Lao Niu knew that the raw material he used to cheat people turned out to be something good, he would probably be furious.
By the time the stall owner came over panting with his old cow, the outermost part of Shi Miao's rough stone had been almost cut, revealing the original stone inside.
In the sunlight, this touch of purple is pure and mysterious, with a kind of magical power that bewitches people.
This is a piece of violet ice type, without any impurities, with excellent water quality, delicate and transparent, it is a rare top grade. Especially since the stone is large, it can be made into several pairs of bracelets.
The stall owner named Lao Niu was immediately dumbfounded, "Did you really buy this from my stall?"
"Yes! I bought it from you. You sold it for 300,000." The onlookers couldn't hide their gloating. They were all envious when Lao Niu sold this stone for 300,000. Then, suddenly, a top-grade violet icy jadeite was produced. Now, even if the asking price was 30 million, someone would buy it immediately.
Pei Yu even thought that if Shi Miao didn't plan to keep it for making bracelets, the Pei family would be willing to buy it for 50 million. Such jade could be used as a treasure of the store.
Lao Niu clutched his chest, gasping for breath. His eyes were filled with the jade, and his heart was filled with regret. "I won't sell it! I won't sell this stone! Give it back to me!"
The shock was so great that he couldn't accept this fact. If he hadn't sold the raw material and kept it to start his own business, would he still need to cheat in this market?
But just as he rushed over, before he got within five meters of them, he was stopped by several tall and strong bodyguards.
"It's too late to regret now."
"You want to get it back after you've sold it? You're dreaming."
With Lao Niu's presence, the people around him who were originally envious and jealous calmed down and were no longer pointing fingers at him.
Lao Niu looked at the bodyguards who stopped him and became much more sober. Although regret still appeared on his face, he did not dare to act rashly.
The few experts who came with Pei Yu were also silent. Their faces were swollen. They had never imagined that top-grade jade could be found here.
The stone-cutting master felt proud and asked Shi Miao, "Do you want to cut other stones?"
Shi Miao shook his head, "No, let's go back."
It was mainly because those experts kept complaining along the way that Shi Miao decided to shut them up. He would wait until they reached the Pei family's territory to cut the remaining pieces, so as not to make too much of a fuss.
They quickly got in the car and left, leaving behind a new legend in the market.
Shi Miao hadn't planned to open all the raw materials she'd bought these past few days, so she only opened a third. However, the raw materials she'd personally selected had all gone up in value, and the worst that came out was still full of green bean-like seeds.
Pei Yu was completely convinced by Shi Miao's so-called intuition!
He sighed, "With your intuition, I guess many people would like to pay you a high price to help you choose the raw materials."
Shi Miao said: "It cost my life!"
This was just an excuse, to prevent anyone from asking her for help in the future. But Pei Yu believed it and decided to give the others a heads-up: to tell them that the dozens of pieces of raw material Shi Miao bought today had gone up by a third, while the others had all gone down, resulting in a total profit of tens of millions. This would make people envious, but not too jealous.
