After the three of them had breakfast, Li Fazhi took the two of them to stroll around the streets of Nanyun City.
Although it was originally aimed at the rough stone development site, Lin Yuelan asked to shop around here first to see if he could find something he liked.
Although it is a gambling stone city, there are jadeites and jades of various appearances, as well as antique vases and the like.
Li Fazhi is very familiar with Nanyun City. After all, this is the source of his jade shop, and he always takes care of it, so this time he leads the way for Lin Yuelan.
As for Jiang Zhennan, he was completely an escort.
He is a rough man, and he can only roughly tell that a piece of jade is of good quality.
As for other things, such as antique vases, calligraphy, paintings, etc., he couldn't even appreciate them.
Li Fazhi is in one line of work, of course, there are various things in this line, and he must understand a little bit, otherwise he will be deceived and deceived, and he will not know who to cry to.
Listening to the exaggerated talk and chatter of the two people in front made Jiang Zhennan think of what Mrs. Li said before the departure of the Li mansion. Looking at this picture now, I don't know how dazzling it is and how depressed my heart is. How depressing.
For a while, she looked at Lin Yuelan with a little grievance in her eyes, and then glared at Li Fazhi sharply for a while, which made Lin Yuelan and Li Fazhi a little puzzled.
Especially Li Fazhi, he didn't know where he made this Young Master Nan unhappy.
However, Jiang Zhennan is not a big girl, and he doesn't know how to coax people, so he continued to talk with Lin Yuelan, "Sister Lin, although many of the vase paintings on the street are fake, there are still very discerning people. It's easy to pick up leaks. However, maybe ordinary people don't have such a leisurely mood, but those who are rich and powerful are very keen to pick up leaks."
After all, picking up one omission proves one's own vision, and secondly, it can be regarded as an accident.
Of course, this leak is not so easy to pick up.
Lin Yuelan nodded in agreement.
Immediately, her eyes were fixed on one place.
She caressed the green bracelet lightly with her hand, looking thoughtful.
In fact, she was communicating with Xiaolu.
"Sister Lin, Sister Lin," Li Fazhi called softly a few times, then followed her staring gaze and found that it was staring at a very insignificant black stone on the ground.
Lin Yuelan walked to the stall.
The owner of the stall, who has been sitting here for a long time, finally waited for a customer, and immediately greeted him very enthusiastically, and asked, "Keguan, which rough stone do you like? Don't worry, my stall is absolutely innocent. fair prices!"
A pair of small but shrewd eyes like mice, dripping as if thinking of something.
Looking at the clothes of these people, they are either rich or expensive.
As long as the three of them took a fancy to the things on his stall, he could slaughter them and give them a small sum of money.
With this small amount of money, I can spend some time with Huayuelou Ruhua.
What is this person's plan in his heart?
Lin Yuelan crouched down, pointed at the black-skinned stone, and asked, "Boss, can I take a look at this stone?"
The stall owner immediately said enthusiastically, "Of course!"
After speaking, he moved the stone to Lin Yuelan's front.
As soon as Lin Yuelan touched the stone, Xiaolu immediately felt a faint aura coming from it.
Little Green said excitedly, "Master, that's right. Inside this stone is emerald with spiritual energy."
Lin Yuelan responded, "Yeah!"
Then, he picked up the stone, looked left and right, and used his power to penetrate into perception.
The surface of this stone is covered with a black skin, but there is a high-grade jadeite inside.
After that, Lin Yuelan put down the stone and asked, "How much is this stone?"
The stall owner turned his eyes and said with a smile, "This stone was carefully selected and sold by me. There is definitely jade in it. The guest officer will never lose money if he buys this stone..."
Lin Yuelan waved and said, "Okay, let's just say how much?"
Just by looking at this guy, you know what's going on.
However, her Lin Yuelan's idea is so easy to fight.
"Three hundred taels!" said the stall owner gritted his teeth.
The stones on this stall are all picked up by himself, and if he can sell one, he will make a profit.
Looking at the guests in front, he seemed to like this stone, and of course he had to slaughter it.
Li Fazhi frowned, and squatted down, holding the stone to and fro.
After that, he said to Lin Yuelan, "Sister Lin, based on my many years of experience, this stone is not unexpected at all, so I don't need to spend this money to buy it?"
Lin Yuelan nodded in agreement, and then said to the two, "Let's go!"
This time, the stall owner was a little dumbfounded.
Just leaving?
Don't you like this stone very much?
He set such a high price in the hope that they would be able to bargain, no matter how much he cut, he would still be able to make a profit. After all, this was a business without capital.
But the fact is, these people don't bargain with him at all, and just leave the rhythm.
This time, he was in a hurry.
He immediately said, "Oh, don't go! Trust me, this rock can definitely make a difference."
Lin Yuelan didn't leave, she just said with a half-smiling smile, "Since you said you can make the material, why don't you make it yourself, it might make a bigger profit, so why sell cheap rough stones?"
Li Fazhi immediately nodded and said in agreement, "That's right, that's right! Boss, if you drive it out by yourself, let's take a look!"
Some onlookers next to him immediately laughed.
The stall owner choked, not knowing how to respond.
His face was flushed red, which was urgent.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Girl, how about selling this stone to you for thirty taels? I've already sold it at a loss!"
Jiang Zhennan immediately snorted, "It's just a stone picked up from a stone ditch. Even if you sell it for a penny, you can't lose!"
The stall owner was immediately speechless!
Most of the people who set up stalls here pick up stones and sell them by themselves, and there is no cost at all.
The stall owner said with some tears in his eyes, "Then 13 taels! Thirteen taels are really cheap!"
Lin Yuelan was no longer embarrassed for him. She stretched out three fingers and said directly, "Thirty taels! This girl only offers three taels. If you can sell it, I will buy it. If you don't sell it, I will just leave and look elsewhere. Look!"
This time the stall owner nodded directly, "Sell, sell! That girl, take this stone now!"
I thought that this person would bargain for three cents, but in the end, he still gave three taels of silver.
For ordinary people, this is also a large sum of money, which can last two or three months.
But Li Fazhi said beside him, "Sister Lin, for just such a stone, wouldn't it be too much of a loss for you to spend three taels of silver?"
When the stall owner heard this, he really wanted to cry.
He immediately said, "This guest officer, gambling on stones is always a win and a loss, right? Someone spends a sky-high price to buy a stone, and it may be waste. It may be a penny to buy a stone, and it may be a sky-high price. Emerald jade, this may not be the case."
Li Fazhi immediately said, "Well, let's use this penny to buy this stone, what do you think?"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then reacted and complained, "Keguan, don't tease me, okay? I have an 80-year-old mother and a baby waiting to be fed, and the whole family relies on me for me. Income and living. If you say you will give one penny, and you need three penny a bowl of clear soup noodles, this money is not enough to buy half a bowl of clear soup noodles. How can you support this family? Guest officer, you can do it. Have pity on me!" You really don't want to talk about a penny.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the stall owner, Li Fazhi laughed and said, "Okay, I won't lower your price because of your pitiful appearance this time. But after seeing you, I will not dare to see a lion shouting loudly. price!"
Anyway, 3 taels of silver is not much, just pity this small stall owner who was delighted by them.
Besides, looking at Lin Yuelan, it seems that she really likes this black stone, and it is worth spending a little money to buy it.
In the end, this black stone was bought for three taels of silver.
As for the people watching the lively around, the colleagues are envious of this stall owner to death.
After all, this is a business without capital, and it only consumes time.
Three taels of silver can sustain a long life.
However, those who were passing by looked at Lin Yuelan and the others like fools, and hummed inwardly, "It's just such a black stone, there's nothing to expect at first glance, and it's really worth paying such a high price to buy it. You don't even know if you've been tricked."
Seeing that Lin Yuelan and others had already paid and took the black stone, someone immediately rolled their eyes and said, "There is someone who dissolves the stone next to me, or girl, solve it now, so you don't have to take it back. I have to bring it out to untie it again!"
Lin Yuelan looked at these people with expressions that were all about watching the fun, with sympathy and schadenfreude.
Lin Yuelan didn't say anything for a while, but she looked at the stall owner and hooked her finger at him, obviously asking him to come over.
The stall owner leaned over in confusion.
After Lin Yuelan whispered in his ear, the stall owner immediately shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not!"
Lin Yuelan chuckled and said, "Boss, after this village, there is no such shop, are you sure?"
After the stall owner heard it, he immediately looked at the stones on the stall with some hesitation.
If all these stones are sold, 70% of them need to be given to this girl. How can I say, he is very reluctant.
But the girl said...
The stall owner was not sure, and finally, he gritted his teeth to make sure, "If that's the case, I agree!"
It's all a gamble anyway. If he loses the gamble, he has nothing to lose. If he wins the gamble, maybe he can make a lot of money.
"Okay, just do as you say!" the stall owner said again.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "The boss really is a smart guy!"
Apart from Jiang Zhennan's deep internal strength, who knew what they were talking about, the rest were ordinary people who didn't even know what kind of riddle they were playing.
Jiang Zhennan weighed the stones in his hand, and then, with a tender and indulgent expression on his face, looked at Lin Yuelan lightly.
Li Fazhi didn't know why, and looked at Lin Yuelan with a puzzled expression.
Lin Yuelan did not explain.
Just facing the person who just asked her if she wanted to dissolve the stone, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay!"
Saying that, he motioned Jiang Zhennan to carry the stone over.
Two or three locations away from this stall owner, there is a calcite stall.
Of course, this calcite booth is not as advanced as modern people. After drawing the border, cutting it directly, and rubbing the stone manually when necessary.
The calcite stall here mainly uses manpower. After all, this stone is hard and it is not easy to cut at all, and it must be cut with special care, so as not to damage the contents inside, otherwise, once a good jade is encountered, it will be destroyed. Now, if the guest asks for compensation, even if the property goes bankrupt, it cannot be compensated.
Of course, the risk of calcite is great, and the benefits are of course great.
If you solve a piece of jade on the spot, you will usually get a big red envelope. When you meet a generous guest, this reward is very impressive, and it may not be earned for several years.
Therefore, the industry is still very attractive.
Lin Yuelan and the others had two men and one woman in their booth, which looked like a family of three.
The older man took the stone and asked seriously, "Do you want to draw lines on this stone?"
If you want to draw a line, just press the line to untie it directly. If you don't draw a line, you usually wipe the stone.
Rubbing stones is a slow job that takes a long time, and of course, it pays a lot of money.
Because they are afraid of encountering bad debts, in fact, they are mainly those who have not solved the jade material and will not pay the money. Therefore, the rule in this industry is to pay half the wages before the solution, and then pay the other half when the solution is completed. half.
Lin Yuelan nodded.
Grab paint from their booth and start drawing lines.
After the line was drawn, the old man asked seriously, "Has it been determined yet? We are not responsible for any damage to the calcite due to a wrong line drawing!"
Line by line rule!
Before doing business, it is the rule of every line to explain things clearly.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Old man, the line has been drawn. Just follow the line and walk with a thickness of five centimeters!"
This stone is only fifteen centimeters in size. If you go down to a thickness of five centimeters, then there will be a little bit left. Shouldn't it be less than the size of a baby's fist?
Is there really jade in here?
Hardly anyone believed it.
If you just buy a stone on the street and you can get jade, will anyone still buy the original stone from these shops?
However, looking at Lin Yuelan's serious attitude, someone suddenly became suspicious.
Of course, this gambling stone, many people look at age and experience.
Looking at this group of people, all of them are very young, and they appear in Nanyun City with unfamiliar faces, so it is impossible to have this experience.
Therefore, this girl should be stunned again!
In fact, it is also a gamble!
The old man nodded, then took the black stone and placed it on the calcite platform very carefully.
After fixing it and checking that there is nothing wrong, I and a young and strong man picked up the guy next to him, a knife with a thick back and a sharp blade, and a big hammer.
The father and son cooperated very well, and they were also very cautious and careful when dissolving stones.
A steady knife, a hammer, carefully hang down.
This is really difficult to do without a certain arm strength and technique.
The woman next to them saw that the father and son were sweating profusely, and immediately stepped forward to wipe them, and occasionally added a few drops of water to the cracked stone to reduce friction.
After about a quarter of an hour, the first side has been untied.
Then, the old man fixed the other side to be solved on the fixing table.
After about an hour and a half, the skin that was about to be torn on all four sides was finished.
All that's left is rubbing stones.
The onlookers were also full of patience, and for an hour and a half, the whole process of calcification beside them.
When they saw that the stone skin had been cut open, but did not see anything inside, most people were very disappointed, and some people were even more gloating.
Are the remaining stones the size of an adult woman's fist really emerald?
No one believes it!
Li Fazhi was also suspicious, but when he looked at everyone's mocking and contemptuous eyes, he was afraid that Lin Yuelan would be sad, so he immediately comforted Lin Yuelan in a low voice, "Don't be sad if this stone can't solve jadeite, sister Lin. There are a thousand people who gamble with stones. Out of 10,000, you may not be able to bet on one. There are many carefully selected rough stones in my shop, if you like them, you can solve them all, and all the jadeites that you open are yours."
Lin Yuelan was a little speechless.
This has not been solved yet, why does everyone think there is no jade?
You must know that the remaining fist-sized stones not only contain jadeite, but also...
Lin Yuelan said with a smile, "Thank you, Big Brother Li! But let's finish the rest first!"
Immediately, she said to the old man, "Old man, please wipe the stones!"
The old man nodded, took a look at the stone, and then handed it directly to the woman.
He held his pipe on one side and began to smoke.
The old woman took the stone, picked up the tool next to it, and started to wipe it very skillfully.
Another half a stick of incense passed.
"Ah, it's green!"
