Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 22
Cutting, in the later generations, is the joint work of large machines and small machines. In this world of high martial arts, it is the operation of high-level hand-held knives above the level of blood training. These people are cutting masters.

Wang Mangziliang asked the boss to cut it on the spot, and the boss called the resident cutting master over there.

Seeing that the stone was being cut here, some people gathered around in twos and threes.

"These three pieces of material look ordinary, but they don't seem to be good materials. I guess they can't cut anything good."

"You're wrong about that. Last time, there was a fool who used this material to cut out a piece of high-quality jade. The original ten taels of silver made hundreds of taels."

"It was all an accident. I've been here for so many years, and I haven't seen such a thing a few times."

"You're exaggerating, but in my opinion, his few pieces of material really don't seem to be able to cut out good things."

Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Wang Mang said: "Is there anything else that can be seen from the appearance of this stone?"

"Of course." Ziliang introduced: "There is a lot of knowledge here, for example, it depends on the origin of the material, the size and direction of the cracks on the surface, the condition of the water, the condition of the skin, etc. Anyway, I can't explain it clearly in a few words. , If you really want to learn this, you won’t be able to enter the school for a year or so.”

"Then have you started yet?" Wang Mang asked.

"I'm barely getting started." Ziliang smiled modestly.

"Young man, you are not very old, and your tone is not young. I have been in this stone gambling business for a long time, but I have never seen you." At this time, one of the crowd watching sneered and said.

"You haven't seen it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Ziliang sneered: "There is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the arts. Whoever heard the truth first is not the older one."

"Young man is getting louder and louder. Young people nowadays are not humble at all." The man said with a chuckle: "Older, eat more salt, and have more knowledge, naturally have more experience than you young people."

"Then I don't know how you, an experienced old man, are doing now?" Ziliang was also aroused by this man, and sneered: "Seeing that you have been here for so long, it seems that you are not doing very well. !"

"You boy..." The angry man yelled, "Who doesn't know me, Ximen Chuishui, I'm a well-known connoisseur."

"Ximen blowing water? I think Ximen bragging is better." Ziliang said with a smile: "Since you are so powerful, why don't you play around?"

"Play as long as you want, whoever is afraid of you." Ximen Chuishui snorted coldly and said, "How do you want to play?"

"This is a gambling shop, and you can't do anything without the word "gambling." Ziliang smiled and said, "Let's just gamble. If you win, I'll choose one of the things in this stall and you pay the bill. If I win, I'll choose one of the things from this stall and you pay the bill, what do you think?"

"You can gamble, how do you gamble?" Ximen Chuishui glanced at the booth, rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Just bet on whether the material you mentioned will go up or down?" Zi Liang said, "Since I bought this piece of stone, I'm betting on the upside. I wonder if you dare to bet on the downside?"

"Of course I dare to bet!" Ximen Chuishui took a deep look at the stone that had already reached the hand of the cutter, and nodded.

"Cut it." Ziliang waved his hand, and the cutting master turned his hand, and a cutting knife appeared in his hand. With the rotation of the cutting knife, the outer skin of the stone slowly disappeared, and the inner layer of the stone was gradually exposed. .

"Fall! Fall! Fall!" At this moment, Ximen Chuishui suddenly yelled.

"Damn your sister, it's all green, at least I won't lose this bet." Ziliang was still talking, and there were people around him who couldn't stand it.

"What is out of green?" Wang Mang asked.

"It is the color of the jade wrapped in the stone that will be shown in front of us before it is exposed." Ziliang pointed to a small piece of green on the stone, and said, "Look, it is this. If there is this, it means that it is in this material." There is definitely jade, and looking at the green color, the jade inside is not bad."

"It turns out that's the case, so you've gone up?" Wang Mang asked curiously.

"That's right, it has risen, at least it will not fall." Ziliang smiled, then looked at Ximen Chuishui and said, "What do you say?"

"I..." Ximen Chuishui blushed and said, "It's just a moment of good luck!"

Just as he was talking, the cutting master made the last cut, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations, young master, are you going to keep it for yourself or sell it?"

"Sell." Ziliang smiled.

At this time, the stall owner stood up and said: "Since the guest officer is selling, I think the quality is good, and the shop is willing to pay 200 taels."

"Yes." Zi Liangliang nodded, handed over the silver handed over by the boss to Wang Mang, and said, "This is yours."

"Is this not good?" Wang Mang's expression changed.

"Originally it was your money, so it's naturally yours." Zi Liang smiled and pointed at Ximen and said, "Besides, didn't I win his bet?"

"That's true." Wang Mang nodded and told Li Lan to accept it.

The cutter picked up another stone, which was the one that caused Dahei to move.

At this time, Ximen Chuishui rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "I don't think this stone is very good. It's not a good thing at first glance. You can't see anything good just from the outside. Some people, That is to say, relying on temporary luck to be proud, but if you want to get along in the long run, you still have to look at your strength."

Wang Mang looked at Ximen Chuishui with a half-smile and said, "Ximen braggart, do you mean you want to bet with me?"

"You are smart." Ximen Chuishui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that it was Wang Mang who had seen through his thoughts, gritted his teeth, and said to Wang Mang, "That's right, I'm going to have sex with you bastard." Weigan kid, take a gamble, I wonder if you dare?"

"Why don't you dare, let me tell you how to gamble?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and his face turned cold.

"Same as before, if you win, I will choose one of the items from this booth and you will pay for it; if I win, I will choose one of the items in this booth and you will pay for it." Ximen said.

"You want to make up for the lost bet from me." Wang Mang said with a smile: "I agree, what are you betting on?"

"Fall!" Ximen Chuishui gritted his teeth: "I still don't believe it, you can get lucky twice in a row."

"If you bet down, I'll bet up." Wang Mang smiled, "But I think we need to change the bet, what do you think?"

"How to bet?" Ximen said, "You can't go back on your word."

"Don't go back on your word. You won. You can choose one of the things at this booth and I will pay for it. But I won. I don't want your things. I want..." Wang Mang said coldly: "I want you to tell me what you want. apology!"

Ximen's complexion changed, and he shouted, "You are deceiving people too much!"

"But let you make amends, how can you deceive others too much?" Wang Mang said in a daze.

"You don't know, it's not easy to make amends in this gambling house." Ziliang explained from the side: "The gambling house is the most well-mannered place. If the gambling house does not follow the rules, no one will dare to gamble in the future, so make amends in the gambling house There are rules, and the rule is that in the gambling shop, you have to kowtow to apologize!"

"There is such a saying?" Wang Mang didn't think so much before, but now he frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, as I said before, I can choose something at the booth and you pay the bill." .”

Seeing that Ximen Chuishui agreed, Wang Mang signaled the cutter to start cutting. As soon as the cutter got Wang Mang's consent, he immediately started cutting.

At this moment, there were many people around, after all, such excitement is not common, and Wang Mang and others are unfamiliar, Ximen Chuishui is a well-known stone critic in this area, it is not easy to see him deflated.

"Do you think these young people won, or Ximen Chuishui?"

"Who knows, logically it should be Ximen Chuishui who won, but although these young people look arrogant, they should be novices. You also know that novices usually have better luck."

"That's right, novices are evil. I think that when I first played this game, it really killed the world. At that time, I really felt that I was the right one. I was destined to make a fortune. Who knew that I would really play this game?" It's gone, and there is no more evilness in the novice period!"

"When you put it that way, I feel that Ximen Chuishui is going to fall this time!"

"He's not at a loss. People who play with others, ask him to talk too much. He is also an old man. Don't he know the truth of betting on stones without talking about a real gentleman?"

"How could it be possible that you don't understand, it's just bullying newcomers!"

"Look, it's green!"

"It's really evil. Today, two stones are connected to produce good things, and they all don't look like good things from the outside."

Ximen Chuishui heard the discussions around him, his complexion was livid, at this moment he suddenly heard the exclamation of green, he couldn't help but look over, the touch of green immediately made Ximen Chuishui's complexion change, and he kept shouting: "Why? possible?"

"That's right, congratulations, Mr. Huang." Ziliang also looked at Wang Mang with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect to be able to gamble for the first time playing this." Wang Mang laughed.

"What's the fun?" At this time, Ximen Chuishui suddenly said in a sullen voice: "Death Green is so happy!"

"Dead green, really dead green!"

"At first, I thought that Ximen Chushui was going to fall, but I didn't expect to come and let him win."

"Think about it, too. It's like the probability of stones producing good jade is small. One piece has already been produced today, so how could there be another one."

"Dead green, what a pity!"

Listening to the voices around him, Wang Mang asked in confusion, "What does this dead green mean?"

"It's fake green." Ziliang said with some embarrassment: "Although this kind of green is also green, it is dull in color and can confuse people the most. When this appears, it means that there must be no good goods in the stone, so it is also called fake green. This... ..."

"Haha, I just said, how could it be possible to produce two precious jades in a row." Ximen Chuishui laughed at Wang Mang and said, "How could my experience be wrong? I am a famous stone appraiser. I can't produce good things, if I can really produce good things, I will dig out my eyes, a few young people, they are still too young!"

Everyone, including Wang Mang, frowned at Ximen's words of blowing water, thinking that this guy was too jumpy and frightened.

Wang Mang frowned and looked at the dead green, but his expression moved: "What is the white behind this green?"

"White?"

"God, it's clear!"

"How is this possible? Isn't this the Yushi District? Why is it white?"

"Damn it!"

And Ximen Chuishui also saw a touch of white at this time, and immediately turned pale, and sat down on the ground with a fright, muttering in his mouth: "How is this possible, how can it be white, this is a spirit stone!"
