Chapter 208 The Best Imperial Green

"We went to the auction house early this morning. This time we won the bid well. The bid Jiang won [-]% of the bid." Mr. Qian seemed a little unbelievable as he said, "The bids we liked in previous years , It’s not bad to hit [-]% of the shots, I didn’t expect to be so lucky this year.”

"It depends on the rough stone we choose." An Xiu'er poured cold water on Mr. Qian.

"That's right." Although Mr. Qian said this, he was still cheerful. He had confidence in An Xiu'er, not to mention that both she and Mr. Xu had seen the rough stones for bidding, so they shouldn't be too bad.

"By the way, did you get the rough stone back?" An Xiu'er asked again.

"I have taken them all back, including the ones you personally bought, Madam, and we have also taken them back for you and put them aside." Elder Qian said, "Madam, your luck is also very good, and the bid should have won seventeen or eight. Nine."

"Really, then let's go and have a look."

She stood up as she spoke, and followed Mr. Qian and the others to a small courtyard. The courtyard was guarded by guards and looked very tight, but this was not enough. Everyone entered the secret room, and then pressed a mechanism. Go all the way into the basement under the secret room.

At this moment, the basement was full of rough stones. An Xiu'er scanned around and asked: "We have already bought the rough stones, so should we cut these rough stones here or take them back?"

"Of course it was cut here. After all, we can't guarantee whether there are rough stones in it. It will be much lighter after cutting it." Qian Lao said.

"I agree with this." An Xiuer nodded and said, "Then let's cut [-]% of it, and take the remaining [-]% back to fill the original stone storehouse. Didn't you say the quality of the original stone storehouse was not high last time?" Well."

"Madam, there is no need to be like this. We can't wait to cut these rough stones to see what we have harvested this time. To buy rough stones and go back to fill the rough stone storage, we will buy some ordinary rough stones from the small vendors outside. That's enough." Xu Lao said.

"That's fine, but let's get someone to come and cut the stone first." An Xiu'er laughed.

The crowd backed away again, and guards came to move out the rough stones one by one. There is a stone cutter in this yard, and there are also stone cutters. The precision machine is full of gears, and the stone cutter stepped on it lightly with his feet. With the pedals, as soon as these gear chains rotate, they will bring the stone cutter below to rotate rapidly.

In an instant, stone chips flew around, even though An Xiu'er and the others were standing far away, some stone chips still flew towards them.

"Seeing green." Said the sharp-eyed Kan Shishi.

"It's a good omen." Another master Kanshi answered.

In order not to damage the rough stone, the stone cutter stopped the stone cutter. He scooped up water from the side and poured it on the rough stone. Mr. Xu walked over, carefully identified the rough stone, and then told him how to cut it. The teacher began to cut again.

"It's a piece of glutinous rice seed. It's not bad. We bid 2000 taels of silver for this rough stone before. It's definitely a profit." Xu Lao said.

The first rough stone was worth the money, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

When this piece of rough stone was completely cut, it turned out to be a piece of glutinous rice about [-] centimeters long as Mr. Xu said. It looked quite green, and it would not be a problem to make a set of headwear.

Then I cut two more pieces, but I was unlucky, the inside was empty, quite a bit of money wasted, An Xiuer also frowned, she had seen all these rough stones, she didn't expect her to be unlucky, the two The blocks are all empty.

"Ma'am, don't worry. This is a normal phenomenon. We, Master Kanshi, are human or not, and we don't have celestial clairvoyance. We can only tell from the outside. It is inevitable that there will be things that are not in place." Elder Qian comforted.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." An Xiu'er replied, and continued to look at the condition of the next rough stone.

The stonecutter's machine kept turning. An Xiu'er disliked that the speed was not fast enough. Seeing that there was another stonecutter beside her, she asked someone to start this stonecutter as well. These two stonecutters were running together, and the speed was actually faster. many.

It's just that An Xiu'er's luck was very bad, except for the first piece, none of the subsequent ten pieces of jadeite was cut into it. This is equivalent to a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Everyone's faces were ugly, even Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian's faces were covered with dark clouds. These rough stones were not only seen by An Xiuer, but actually, everyone had seen them, but they didn't expect , everyone actually collectively looked away.

"This is impossible!"

An Xiu'er was no longer as indifferent as before. She shook her head, thinking that this situation should not have happened. She had read it all, and she read it carefully every time, and did not miss any details. Remember everything clearly, no mistakes or omissions.

Even if it is omitted, it is at most one or two yuan, and it is impossible to have such a large-scale cut-off situation.

After the stone cutter heard her words, he stopped the machine, and Qian Lao persuaded him: "Madam, don't blame yourself, we still have such rough stones here, as long as half of them are green, we will There will be no loss."

"No!" An Xiu'er shook her head, she walked forward, picked up the rough stone fragments on the ground, and said: "These, you guys cut them up again!"

"Ma'am, this..." The stonecutter looked at the fist-sized stone on the ground with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Because he had cut out many pieces, he had already cut these rough stones into very small pieces. It would not only take a long time to cut them again, but it was also easy to get them.

An Xiu'er looked at him, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem." The stonecutter still lowered his head silently, and began to cut again cautiously.

It seemed that Goddess of Fate did not take care of An Xiuer. He cut a dozen small pieces in a row, but still did not see any trace of emerald. I couldn't help but persuaded: "Madam, there will be no such a coincidence. If there are really jadeites in these rough stones, then we should have cut them out long ago, and we won't wait until now."

"Really?" An Xiu'er did not believe in this evil, she said: "Everything is possible!"

"Ma'am, if you do this, I'm afraid it's just a waste of time, why don't you talk about other things first." Other stone masters couldn't help but suggested that when they were in Zhangjiayuan Shiku, everyone really thought she was a genius. , This is a slap in the face, so many rough stones, all of them have been cut out.

"It's no wonder we won such a high bid this time, so the ones we won were all stones." Someone said in a low voice, but their words clearly reached An Xiu'er's ears, they clearly meant to let her hear.

An Xiu'er's face was a bit ugly, but she ignored them, she just stood aside and watched the stonecutter cut the stone.

The sound of "Ka Ka Ka" was accompanied by the whispers of the crowd. Some people laughed and some satirized. Originally, during this period of time, the Zhang family was not at peace. It was just a coincidence, they were very happy to see An Xiuer suffer.

But maybe it was as if they were going to slap them in the face. At this moment, the sharp-eyed old Xu's eyes suddenly widened, "It's green!"

"It's green?" Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the stone cutter. The stonecutter stopped stepping on it, and poured water on the rough stone. Sure enough, the bright green dazzled everyone.

"The color is rich and crystal clear." The voice of a stone cutter was a little trembling, and Mr. Xu couldn't hold it back. He walked up to the stone cutter himself, pushed the stone cutter away, and cut it himself. When exposed in front of everyone, there was a dull look on everyone's face.

"This is actually the top-quality imperial green!" Everyone gathered around to look at it, Qian Lao's voice trembled a little, how many years had it been since they found such a top-quality emerald?At least five or six years.

Rich, pure, and translucent like a transparent ice cube, through this bright green emerald, it seems that you can see the figure on the other side, like glass, blooming brilliance in this small room.

"It's so charming!" Youkan Shishi couldn't help exclaiming, as if they weren't the ones who satirized An Xiu'er before.

"Yes." The other Kanshi masters couldn't help agreeing.

Mr. Xu took the emerald to the window. Under the sunlight shining through the pane, the emerald became more crystal clear and dazzling, which made people reluctant to let go.

"Unexpectedly, we almost passed by such a top-quality jadeite." Mr. Xu said with a sigh. He didn't expect this piece of top-quality jadeite to be hidden in a scrap.

Someone brought a gorgeous carved box filled with cotton and brocade. Mr. Xu carefully put it inside and locked it with an exquisite lock. Then he looked at An Xiu'er and said, "Ma'am, you really have a clever plan. If you hadn't insisted just now, we group of old antiques would have almost missed out on such a dazzling and top-quality jadeite."

An Xiu'er smiled and said nothing, she didn't take credit for it, she won't be proud to be defeated, she didn't insist on it because of them.

"Ma'am, how do you know there is jade in it?" Youkan Shishi asked, their attitudes were very respectful at this moment, which was completely different from the previous appearance.

Although An Xiu'er didn't say anything about them, she was very displeased with their double-faced and condescending attitude. She only said lightly: "I rely on my level, I believe that the rough stone I chose, It can't be all broken stones!"

This faint sentence was a bit of a slap in the face, and everyone blushed a little when they thought of what they said before.

"Then do we have to cut all of these?" the stonecutter beside him asked in a low voice.

"Cut." An Xiu'er walked forward, picked up several fist-sized rough stones nearby to the stonecutter, and said: "Cut these few pieces first, and then cut the rest of the scattered rough stones after other pieces have been cut."
