Chapter 19

"It's not so good." Zhou Wenping said with some hesitation.

And the fifth also rubbed his hands and said, "this is too embarrassed."

"Well, it's settled. You must come all the time, or you won't give me face."

Two people see Chu Chen all say so, also have to nod to agree.

Then the three talked about some interesting stories about the antique street, such as who paid the tuition, who picked up the leak, who was buried with mines and so on. All kinds of big and small things, antique street is on every day, and how many Hollywood blockbusters can be filmed.

After seeing that time was almost up, Chu Chen said goodbye to them. After all, he had to go to cuiyuanzhai to do business later.

After leaving the antique booth, Chu Chen could not help feeling that he had been a hawker like Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu before. In just a few days, however, because of a tricolor of the Tang Dynasty, earth shaking changes have taken place. These days can be described as a mixture of sadness and happiness. It's really unpredictable. It's hard to predict everything.

When Chu Chen came to cuiyuanzhai, he saw a lot of people around a stall, and they were choosing what they were looking for. His mind was that it must be Zhao Guosheng's new raw stone. At this time, everyone was looking for better wool.

When the jadeite is mined out, there is a layer of weathered skin on the surface. There is no way to know the internal situation. Only by cutting the stone can we know whether there is jadeite inside and the quality of jadeite. At this time, jadeite is also commonly known as jadeite wool.

In the past, the name of gambling stone was not gambling stone, but gambling shop. The three conditions that a gambling stone master must have are great challenge ability, adventurous spirit and rich experience. From these three points, we can see the difficulty of gambling stone.

As the saying goes, "it's hard for an immortal to break an inch of jade." even with such advanced technology, there is no way to detect what's going on in the wool. People mainly infer the quality of internal jadeite according to the surface characteristics of original jadeite.

In this way, gamblers need to have rich knowledge and experience of jadeite, such as analyzing raw materials and understanding the origin of jadeite. Moreover, because the profit of wool is very high, some people will use their brains on it, and cheating means such as "sticking fake leather" emerge in an endless stream, which also needs people's more attention.

However, since there is a word "bet" in the gambling stone, that is to say, no one is sure to win. Even the experienced experts will inevitably lose sight of it, and there is a lot of luck in it.

Because of such uncertainty, it is not uncommon for gamblers to become rich overnight or lose their fortune overnight.

To sum up, "gambling stone" is actually a kind of expert jade trading behavior. Participating in "gambling stone" is not only a test of luck, but also a test of eyesight, and also requires professional knowledge.

If you don't have nearly four years of gambling career, even if you try out the ability for a while, you can also sense jadeite. Chu Chen doesn't dare to use it too frequently in gambling.

If a new gambler can bet a good jade several times, maybe it's luck. If it's always like this, people will have to doubt that he might be caught as a white mouse, or even be caught to help him gamble. Thinking of the miserable situation, Chu Chen can't help shivering.

"Oh, Xiao Chen is here. What are you going to buy today?" Zhang Guosheng saw Chu Chen from a long distance and said hello. When Chu Chen came to the door, he pointed to the pile of wool on one side and said:

"it's a promotion today. You can pick up four of the 100 yuan from there. You can't have this land after passing this village!"

"Ah, I said brother Zhang. Yesterday, Aunt Zhang didn't say that you asked me to come to the door. I didn't see you bring a cup of tea." Chuchen joked to Zhang Guosheng.

Zhang Guosheng completely inherited Aunt Zhang's cheekiness. After hearing this, he was not embarrassed. He said, "Hey, it's too busy today. Look, someone called me there again. You can see for yourself first. If you need anything, you can come to me. We are old acquaintances, and we won't let you suffer."

With that, he apologized to Chu Chen and asked others to go.

Basically, every time at this time, Zhang Guosheng always finds one reason or another to shirk. Chu Chen is used to it, so he shakes his head and goes to the pile of wool that Zhang Guosheng just pointed to.

There is a big difference between the situation of the new wool on this side and on the other side. There is only one young man who is picking and choosing, and Chu Chen also knows him. His name is Li Guodong.

Li Guodong is two years older than chuchen, and he is also very energetic. He is a senior in a university in Beijing. He is one year later than chuchen. Like chuchen, he likes to buy some cheaper stones in the shop, but his reason is different from chuchen, because he is short of money.

Both of them are about the same age. They both have the same interest in gambling stones. They are both new people. It's easier to communicate with each other. They don't have much time to become friends.

They usually get together when they have time. Sometimes Li Guodong's classmates get together and call on him. Chu Chen learns about his college life from them, which makes up for his regret that he didn't go to college. The two became good friends with each other.

Chu Chen and Li Guodong said: "brother Li, what's the delivery today?"Li Guodong pointed to the wool on the ground and said, "look at this product, what else can I get?"

Chu Chen looked down at the wool on the ground. He was speechless! How can it be called wool? There are not even some basic jadeite features on the wool. It's just some brick materials. It's hard to use them as footmats.

So Chu Chen said, "why is it so cheap today? In the past, when we dealt with the accumulated goods, we still paid two yuan for one hundred yuan, but today we could get four yuan. Just like this, I don't want to give it to me. In the future, let's call him a rooster."

Li Guodong nodded deeply and continued to pick and choose. He said: "it's OK. I'll save money. Anyway, the quality of wool was not much better than this time. Maybe this kind of stone will produce jadeite instead."

Chu Chen looked at him with disdain and said: "do your spring and autumn dream, this kind of performance also want to open emerald, I don't think there is a chance of one in ten thousand."

"Hey, don't worry about him. You can't say it's impossible. Maybe it's my turn to be lucky today." Li Guodong said triumphantly.

"Well, I think you are in a daze. You might as well buy lottery tickets if you have this luck? I wonder if you are short of money to make girlfriends? "

Chu Chen saw his squeaky appearance and said, "no, you really have a girlfriend? Is it difficult that the iron tree will bloom for thousands of years? "

"Screw you, what Millennium iron tree, can't I find a girlfriend?" Li Guodong said angrily.

Since then, Li looks like a bachelor, but now he is not a bachelor.

When Chu Chen heard that he had a girlfriend, he was very curious and said, "Hey, tell me what your girlfriend looks like. When will you let me know her?"

Li Guodong some not very good meaning said: "we just confirmed the relationship yesterday, say she face thin, or wait for a period of time."

Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "OK, brother Li, your spring is coming, but you don't have some irrelevant ideas because of this, do you? Or does your girlfriend have petty bourgeois tendencies?"

"Don't talk nonsense. My girlfriend never asks about my family, and she's very thrifty, but her father is still a small official in the capital department. I don't want to make some money, so I can be equal to each other."

Li Guodong's family situation is not bad. His parents are teachers of key high schools in the western provincial capital city. There is no shortage of anything in his family, but it is impossible to be rich.

So Chu Chen asked, "what's the opinion of her parents? Did they put pressure on you?"

Li Guodong waved his hand and said, "we only had a formal relationship yesterday. Her parents don't know about it yet, but I have a headache when I think about her family. I think if we have a good relationship, I'll be ready to work in Beijing, but you know my family's situation, and it's almost impossible to buy a house in Beijing. "

"It depends on the attitude of her parents. If her parents are satisfied with you, everything will go smoothly. On the contrary, I think it's very difficult. But if you want to buy a house, you can buy it as soon as possible. Now the house price is the same day by day. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me to borrow it. You're welcome."

Then Chu Chen patted his chest.

Li Guodong said with a smile: "OK, I'll be very rude then, but before that, I have to ask my parents' opinions."

Chu Chen nodded, and then accompanied Li Guodong to pick up wool. Originally, he wanted to go to the other side to choose wool, but now there are too many people gathered there. It's a bit crowded. Coupled with the hot weather, he can't stand it. He plans to go again later when there are fewer people.

The performance of the wool here is so poor that there is no characteristic of emerald wool at all. So Chu Chen simply doesn't use a flashlight or anything, so he just selects the ones that are pleasing to the eye, so he takes a look at them and verifies them with his previous experience. However, to be honest, this kind of brick material can not play a role in verification.

After selecting 100 pieces of wool, Chu Chen didn't respond to the power of his left hand. He didn't care. It was strange that there was jade in such a stone.

At this time, the newly arrived woollen materials were already empty. Some people watched for a while and left. Others had already selected satisfactory woollen materials and were ready to take them to the backyard to remove the stones. Chu Chen saw this and was ready to go there to select woollen materials. After all, those woollen materials with good performance have a greater chance of containing jadeite.

All of a sudden, Chu Chen's face flashed a trace of amazement. Just before he left, he picked up a piece of wool. Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to use this wool, the power of his left hand began to move. At that moment, he didn't know what to do.
