Chapter 11: Glutinous Red Jade
When Xing Mo received the communication from Wang Ze, he had already seen Lin Luo coming in with a piece of jadeite, so he temporarily put aside his business and came to help Lin Luo.
The two curious guests followed in the backyard, and then the old man also came in, making Lin Luo a little nervous as the yard was too crowded.
Xing Mo helped him put the jadeite on the stone machine, and then asked in a low voice, “Should I cut it directly or grind it first?”
Lin Luo put his hand on the jadeite, and he could clearly see that the bright red halo gathered in the lower half of the jadeite, so he replied, “Cut it directly.”
“OK.” Xing Mo tilted the ebony shell of the jadeite slightly to make it easier for Lin Luo to cut with the knife, and then gave Lin Luo the stone to position.
Lin Luo took a deep breath, held down the chrome knife, and dropped the knife towards the position he was optimistic about.
Although such a cut-and-break method of cutting the knife seems a bit pretentious, the outer shell of this black sand matrix has no special markers that can be used as a basis for judgment. The skill used on gambling on a stone such as this is actually very small, so no matter how you cut it, it doesn’t matter.
After Lin Luo made a cut across the board, Xing Mo immediately helped to splash the water. Everyone hurriedly looked around, but only saw a thick layer of black mist on the cut surface.
“Wow, it’s black mist…”
The appearance of black fog makes the possibility of winning the gamble on this jadeite even smaller. Black fog is a very difficult fog layer to judge, just like black sand matrix. Black fog is prone to run-off and polluted materials to make the material black, but there is also a certain possibility that it may still contain high quality jade. There are some people who like excitement, and they also like to bet on the black fog. Although for every ten bets you get nine loses, as long as you win the bet once, you can make a lot of money.
Although everyone is not very optimistic about this piece of jadeite, they still have not left. After all, there is still a one-in-nine possibility of investment return, isn’t there?
Lin Luo didn’t care what others thought, his attention was all on the piece of jadeite in front of him, he replaced the chrome knife with a grinding wheel, and began to slowly grind away the fog.
At this moment, some more customers who entered the store and wanted to buy jadeite were attracted by the sound of the jadeite grinder coming from the backyard. One after another, there were already more than a dozen people standing in the yard.
Those who had just arrived, found that what was being cut was a piece of the matrix layer that was completely black, and the material from the black mist was also exposed, and they all stood aside and watched with great interest.
With the rolling of the grinding wheel, the mystery of the jade hidden under the black fog was finally revealed, and a bright red color jumped out.
“Red?! It turned out to be red jade?!” The people standing close to him suddenly exclaimed.
“It’s up! This is a big increase!”
“Little brother! Can you sell this cut jadeite?! I’m willing to pay out 50,000 credits!” There already one smart person who immediately starts bidding, wanting to buy and resell this piece of jadeite that may contain an excellent quality jade.
Some people can’t understand his approach, “Are you kidding, this is red jade and you want to buy it for 50,000? Are you trying to cheat people?!”
“This is black mist. The jade under the black mist looks good now, but who knows if this red jade will only have that thin layer? If I buy this piece of jadeite, I also have to take the risk. The price is actually very fair!” The person retorted unwillingly.
In fact, what he said is somewhat reasonable, but it is still a rare red jade that can extract the energy of the fire element, so the price is still too low.
“Little brother, I will pay 80,000! Sell it to me!”
“I will pay 100,000!”
“I’ll do 120,000!”
“150,000!”
In just 2 or 3 minutes, bidding reached all the way to a high price of 150,000 credits.
Just when these people were red-faced and their neck veins were thick from excitement, Lin Luo slowly said, “Sorry, I don’t want to sell, I want to cut it all by myself.”
Since the owner of the jadeite had spoken, it would be meaningless for these people to argue, so they all became quiet again.
Lin Luo breathed out quietly, the exposed color alone was enough to double the value of this piece of jadeite several times, making him a little bit shaky, as someone who had never seen the big world.
Xing Mo, the one nearest to him, saw his small movements and felt that his temperament was even more cute, and his eyes softened subconsciously.
Lin Luo did not continue to polish the stone, but replaced it with a chrome knife, preparing to verify his conjecture in the fastest way.
“Cut the stone? Isn’t it better to polish the stone? This is red jade!” Someone couldn’t help but say.
The red jade is extremely valuable. if it is cut and destroyed it would be too wasteful!
However, Lin Luo turned a deaf ear to the discussion around him. He firmly pressed down the chrome knife and cut off a large stone layer. The cut surface was still black mist.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Luo made a few consecutive slices, cutting the jadeite to only a fist-sized piece. The whole body of the cut material is still exuding black mist. Although it is still impossible to see the situation inside, its selling price has already risen drastically.
When Lin Luo started grinding the jadeite with the grinding wheel again, everyone couldn’t help holding their breath.
When Lin Luo stopped the stone grinding machine, this small red jade finally revealed the true face of of the jade.
“The glutinous red…” someone muttered to himself in a daze.
The texture clarity of the jade is beautiful and reminiscent of mature glutinous rice which inspires its name, but with this bright magenta color the price has skyrocketed.
The transparency of jadeite means that the energy contained in it is more pure and the darker the color, the more energy it contains. Although magenta is not as good as a deep true red, it is still considered a relatively advanced red. If you hire a better energy engineer, you should be able to extract 100ml of fire element liquid.
Lin Luo’s heart was also surging at this time, could it be said that he really has the ability to see through jadeite?
“Little brother! I’ll pay 300,000 credits! Sell me this piece of red jade?!” Someone couldn’t help but start shouting.
“Little brother, I’ll give out 320,000!”
“330,000!”
“350,000! I gave 350,000!” At this moment, a hoarse shout suddenly came from outside.
At this time everyone discovered that the yard was full of people at some point, and even the front hall outside was full of people. They all gathered here after they heard that someone had bet on glutinous red jade. Wang Ze stepped outside, afraid that the backyard was so crowded that there was no place to stand.
When the people outside heard the price shouting inside, they began to squeeze in anxiously, making the scene even more chaotic.
When Xing Mo saw this, he frowned slightly, angled his body forward, and slightly blocked Lin Luo behind him, lest the crowd be too excited and accidentally hurt him.
“360,000!”
“380,000!”
“400,000!”
The price reached 400,000 yuan all the way, and finally there was a pause. This is already the highest value of this piece of red jade, and no matter how high it is, it is not worth it.
As soon as Lin Luo opened his mouth to say something, he heard another person say, “Little brother, I have 420,000 yuan, can you sell it to me?”
This person was the old man who had discouraged Lin Luo when he was selecting the jadeite. He did not expect that he would be willing to buy this small piece of jade at a price that was so much higher than the market price.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to sell this red jade.” Lin Luo apologized to the old man.
This piece of red jade, as the Xing Mo of the fire type supernatural power, can be used, so he wants to keep it for Xing Mo.
“My grandson’s ability is about to be promoted, and I have been unable to buy the elemental liquid of the fire element, little brother, please help me?” the old man asked earnestly.
Although the grandson of the old man needed elemental liquid, Lin Luo felt that Xing Mo needed it more than his grandson.
“sorry…”
The old man wanted to fight again, but was interrupted by Xing Mo, “I’m sorry, he has already said that this jade will not be sold to the outside world, if I could please invite you outside.”
Xing Mo’s face is too recognizable. The people still don’t know the contradictions and family disputes within the Xing family. They still think that Xing Mo represents the Xing family, so the crowd slowly withdrew from the backyard and the old man had to sigh and leave.
After waiting for everyone to go, Lin Luo handed the small piece of red jade held in his hand to Xing Mo as if offering a treasure, “Brother Xing, this jade is for you!”
