Chapter 201 Master Gathering ([-])

Those who are free to buy and sell are small vendors. Of course, there are not as many rough stones in the auction house, and the goods in the auction house are much better. Some of the ones outside are not even the old pits of Myanmar, but those vendors randomly picked them up from outside. Stone.

Or just some rough stones outside the old pit, in short, they are much worse than those in the auction house. Therefore, if An Xiuer and the others want to buy good rough stones and find exquisite gems, they must make good use of this auction. Opportunity.

After a day of repairing in Dali, they set off early the next morning. They drove fast along the way, and finally arrived in Ruili in the afternoon.

The Zhang family comes to Ruili every year, so they also have their own real estate here, so they don't need to consider the issue of residence, they just come to the Zhang family's other garden and settle down.

The temperature in Ruili is higher than that in Dali. When she came here, An Xiuer seemed to have jumped from winter to spring. Fortunately, she bought some light ethnic clothes, otherwise, if she was still wearing the old Heavy clothes will definitely spoil her.

On the way to Nanzhao, it can be said that it was windy food and sleeping in the open. In the past few days, An Xiuer didn't tidy herself up and settled down at the inn. She took a comfortable bath first, and after eating, After resting for a while, he changed into light clothes and followed Mr. Xu and the others out the door.

In Minyue City, night fell at the beginning of Shenshi in winter, but in Nanzhao, the sky slowly darkened at the beginning of Xushi. The days here are very long, so although we came late, An Xiuer and others People can still take a good look around.

Today, Mr. Xu and the others plan to take An Xiuer to the entrance of Ruili Field to meet the world. An Xiuer, with the Spring Equinox Autumn Rain and An Tieshi, Mr. Xu and the others, the stone masters, and a group of guards, headed for the entrance of Ruili Field in a mighty way. .

Fortunately, the people walking at the entrance of the Ruili market were all businessmen, and there were also many people from big families who took advantage of this auction to go there, so the arrival of An Xiuer's group was not very eye-catching.

Entering the entrance of Ruili Field, the scene in front of me is a bit different from what An Xiuer imagined. At first, I thought that at the entrance of Ruili Field, the streets must be full of tall and quaint shops, exquisite jadeite, some dark green rough stones that have been wiped small. Anyone can choose from the shelf of carved dragons and painted phoenixes.

However, after entering the entrance, the first thing An Xiuer heard was the sound of people cutting stones with machines. The raw stones with mouths and no openings were just thrown on the simple booths for people to choose.

Generally, every ten booths, there will be a person who specializes in cutting stones. They have a set of precision-designed machines, consisting of some shelves and large and small gears. When the hands are shaken, the original frosted stones underneath will start to rotate.

You can slowly grind off the stone skin, or you can replace it with a blade and cut it all at once.

There are many big red banners hanging outside these small vendors, on which are written in black ink, what kind of jadeite was cut out by a guest official on a certain day in a certain year, and how much is it worth.

The big red banner is hanging, which is very attractive. Just looking at this will attract many people who like to gamble. Many people hope that the person who writes on this red banner is themselves, and they hope that they can also buy A good rough stone, after cutting the stone skin, there are all expensive emeralds underneath, making a lot of money and getting rich overnight.

"There's a saying in these emerald markets: One knife is poor, one knife is rich, one knife is heaven, and one knife is hell. This is what these stone gamblers are talking about." Seeing that An Xiu'er was walking more and more slowly, Mr. Qian was very impressed. These stalls were very interesting, so I talked to her.

"Hmph, these people don't have the level of a stone, they just want to get something for nothing and get rich with a knife. How can there be such a good thing. There are so many people who come here to gamble with stones every year, but how many people really make money." Elder Xu snorted coldly, obviously, he didn't agree with this bet.

"With Mr. Xu's level, coming to these stalls is of course sweeping away." Another stone-canning teacher at the side, Xiao Xiaoduo, praised Mr. Xu. Everyone can see the level of old Xu's stone-canning.

"Hmph!" Who knew, Elder Xu snorted coldly, completely ignoring the words of Kan Shishi.

An Xiu'er didn't understand Mr. Xu's attitude, she also smiled and echoed: "No wonder you are so arrogant, Mr. Xu. Although you can't find a good rough stone, you have such a high success rate in finding ordinary jadeite. For the sake of it, I think you must only make money when you go to these shops, and maybe these street vendors dare not let you come."

An Xiu'er originally said it as a joke, but Qian Lao's expression beside her became weird.

An Xiu'er was puzzled, so Mr. Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Xu can't bet on stone."

"Why?" An Xiu'er became even more puzzled, "Could it be that he made some kind of contract before, or was it because I agreed?"

"Yeah, all the street vendors here know him, and every time they see him, they will ask him to gamble elsewhere." Qian Lao said with a smile: "The year before last or the year before last, After our auction, it was still early, and we wanted to have a good time with these small vendors and try our luck, but who knew that we had just arrived in front of a stall, and the stall owner greeted Mr. Xu outside with a good voice."

When An Xiu'er heard what Qian Lao said, she became interested for a while, and Qian Lao imitated the voice of the stall owner, "Qian Lao, you can come to the small shop, the small shop is really flourishing, but the small shop The rough stones in the store are all for younger generations to see, so they must not be suitable for you, Mr. Qian."

"This is driving people away." An Xiu'er said with a smile.

"That's right." Mr. Qian nodded and said, "These peddlers are thieves and thieves. They have a picture book, whoever has a high level, it is written in the picture book, and they don't welcome those people. "

"Really? But since the door is open to welcome customers, if the customers have to buy something, they shouldn't refuse, right?"

"Of course." Qian Lao nodded and said, "So these street vendors are thieves and thieves. The rough stones they buy and sell are divided into two types. Among them, there is no good emerald at all. For other rough stones, they just look at the dishes, the price is not fixed, there are cheap and expensive, if people like Qianlao come to buy, at least sell A sky-high price."

"So that's the case, then these street vendors must have a certain level of quality." An Xiu'er said casually.

"It's natural. They often deal with these rough stones, and they naturally have a level of appraisal. Otherwise, they are thieves. They will first look at the rough stones that come in. They think there is a high probability of rough stones inside. They will make a hole and show the side with the emerald, so as to sell it." Qian Lao said with a smile.

"But if that's the case, they might as well just cut it open." An Xiu'er said.

"That can't be done. They are the ones who sell rough stones. They don't know how to cut rough stones themselves. Selling stones is not gambling with stones. This has always been the rule." Qian Lao explained.

"Really?" An Xiu'er still didn't understand.

Mr. Xu explained from the side: "Kanshi is a broad and profound way. If they were really high-level, they would have been Kanshi masters long ago, and they would not come to sell rough stones. , but I’m not sure what kind of jadeite it is inside, maybe only the outer layer of skin is green, and the inside is full of rot.”

"It's no wonder there is an old saying that gold and jade fall apart." An Xiu'er laughed.

"Yeah, even me, I can't be 100% sure. Over the years, most of the rough stones I fancy have emeralds in them. That's good luck. And you're right. I don't dare to bet. Every time I see ten I think there may be emeralds in it, but I will choose another one that is more likely, so that it will give others the feeling that every time I choose a rough stone, there will be emeralds in it.”

Mr. Xu blew himself up: "Actually, I have been mistaken a lot. Sometimes after peeling off the skin of the selected rough stone, there is only a layer of green inside, and the middle is full of rot, but these people also count it as green. It went inside, and I understand now that they were trying to elevate me on purpose so that I wouldn't make any progress, and then beat me down."

"You're a bit of a conspiracy theory." An Xiu'er smiled, but she felt that Mr. Xu's analysis was impossible, so she said again: "No matter what others say, we only need to stick to our hearts. Let the hype fall as they say, I will stand still."

"Ma'am is right." Xu Lao nodded and said, "It's really me who has been in love these years. The blue is better than the blue. If you didn't appear, I might spend my whole life in the dream woven for me by others. .”

"Mr. Xu, don't say that. You are my senior. I was just lucky a few days ago. It is very possible that my luck is not good this time." An Xiu'er said, "However, I am not afraid of losing, the big deal Just start all over again."

"You're right." Elder Qian also nodded, and the many stone masters behind him nodded flatteringly no matter whether they listened or not. This made An Xiuer smile, and she felt that if they flattered her like this every day If so, she will definitely be in the picture too.

After all, in this world, how many people can stick to their hearts all the time.

"The rough stones here seem to be a bit different from those in our Zhangjiayuan stone storehouse." An Xiu'er said again.

"That's right, here are the old pit rough stones. Many of the rough stones in the Zhangjiayuan Stone Storehouse are empty shells, or even ordinary stones picked up on the road." Old Xu replied.
