"Little brother, look at what you're talking about. How can you sell them at one hundred and one grams? One hundred and one kilograms, they are all clearly priced at the right price. Let me weigh these stones for you." With that, the boss placed a bamboo basket on top of the bamboo, and then placed the stones Guo Xie picked one by one into the basket.
"It's a total of 28.8 kg. According to your 28 calculations, 28,000 kg. Does the boss want to swipe the card or cash?" The boss laughed and said.
"This is two thousand five hundred taels of silver. I'll buy some stones, but I won't be able to pay for this bamboo basket." He handed the money to the stone-seller.
"Junior brother Tongyuan, there's someone here to comprehend the stone. Let's unravel the stone and find out if the stone we obtained is the same." Guo Qiang said with a smile as he held the bamboo basket in front of a cutting machine.
"Boss, boss, if you want to open the stone, you have to calculate the price separately, a hundred yuan each." The stone-selling boss stopped Guo Xie and said with a smile.
"There are five stones in total. Here are two hundred stones. If you don't mind, I'll open it up here. If you can't, then I'll take it somewhere else." This cutting machine didn't have much money, it was only exchanging for a wheel. Cutting these stones would only cost a little more than ten yuan, if Elder Chen didn't agree, they would immediately take over. Although they were selling the stones to make money, who would complain about having too much money?
"Two hundred then. I hope you can produce the precious jade, boss." The owner of the surname Chen laughed and ended up with two hundred yuan, giving up the spot.
Although there were already many people in the trading market, there weren't many who bought stones. When they heard that there was someone here to open the stone, it was only a matter of time before they were surrounded by people.
"Sizzle sizzle!" At first, Guo Xie didn't try to feel if there was anything inside the stone, he just picked up a few pieces and started practicing. Then, he cut the stone in half and a moment later, the stone was cut open from the middle. It was still a stone.
Five stones, other than a pebble-sized object that could barely be considered jade, there was nothing else. A group of people could not help but shake their heads while Guo Tongyuan chuckled.
"Senior brother, your eyesight is almost the same as mine. Hehe, how about I buy a few pieces for you?" After Guo Tongyuan finished speaking, he didn't go anywhere else and started searching for treasures in the crowd of stones.
"This one, I feel like there's something inside." A few minutes later, Guo Tongyuan picked out a rock that was about the size of a basketball from a pile of stones and placed it on the scale.
"38 kilograms. Skin off 35 kilograms. 3500 kilograms. If you open the stone here, then you won't receive the money for it." Boss Chen said with a smile. Although there was a big market in Taiyun City every five days, there were fewer and fewer stones to be found. If he could sell the stones in his shop, he would be able to get money.
When Guo Tongyuan carried the stone to the cutting machine, Guo Tai could not help but try his best to sense the stone. This time, Guo Tongyuan really had something inside, it seemed to be of decent quality, but it was still a long way from reaching the Jade Core.
"Junior brother, this is the only time, you must not use your soul consciousness to sense the stone. Since the rock gambling stone has a 'gamble' word, then we must follow the rules. If we don't follow these small rules, I'm afraid there will be big trouble when we ascend." Guo Xie whispered into Guo Tongyuan's ear. Guo Tongyuan blanked for a moment before nodding his head.
"Open it. I've already bought it. If you want to open it, open it." A small knife had appeared out of nowhere and was carving a piece of wood.
"Hehe, open up this rock and let these people who are watching the show shut their mouths." Guo Tongyuan said with a smile. He could feel the precious jade inside the stone, so he didn't dare to cut it like he did with Guo Que. He carefully picked up the cutting machine and began cutting it from the side.
"Little bro, stop, there seems to be something inside, you can't use this thing anymore." A middle-aged man in his forties blocked Guo Tongyuan with a loud voice as the cutting machine landed.
"Uncle, what are you shouting for?" "You gave me a fright." Guo Tongyuan said with a pout. The people beside him started laughing. Guo Tongyuan was already in his teens, yet he was able to lift the stone and shock everyone. Now that he was trying to open the stone himself, everyone was watching.
"I'm from the Taiyun Jade Stone Association. My surname is Gao. Gao Yufeng, here's my name card." The middle-aged man walked up to Guo Xie and handed the business card to him. He could tell that Guo Tongyuan had followed him here.
"Brother, I was also staring at the stone my junior brother cut. I didn't see any precious jade, so I didn't know why you wanted me to stop." Guo Qiang asked with a smile.
I saw that you two are laymen. Just now when the cutting machine was down, there were crystals appearing, which means that we will soon reach the jade layer. If we continue cutting like this, we will definitely harm the jade stone. Gao Yufeng smiled and said, "Brother Chen, please take out the little wheel. Five yuan each. Is there a need to be so petty?"
Hearing Gao Yufeng's words, the owner's face turned slightly red. Gao Yufeng was not only a member of the Jadestone Association, he also had several jade shops in Taiyu City and was in contact with some jade merchants abroad.
"Brother Gao, I didn't see you here just now. Please take a seat, I'll go get the small wheel." With that, Chen Dayuan ran into the house. When he came out, he was holding a small grinder and there were seven or eight grinding wheels in his hands.
"Brother Gao, you are an expert in this aspect. How about you help me unravel this stone. After it's done, I'll have my senior brother treat you to a meal." Guo Tongyuan said with a smile, and the people around him started laughing again.
"Hu Zi, help this little brother open the rock, we will soon reach the jade layer. Be careful when opening it, don't use any cutting machines on the other sides, just use the grinding wheel a little bit and it will open up in about half an hour." Gao Yufeng said to a 256-year-old youth who was standing beside him. My two brothers, I'll help you unravel the precious jade. If you two are going to sell this jade, then you should give priority to me. "
Guo Xie nodded with a smile. Guo Tongyuan passed the wheel in his hand to the youth named Hu Zi and stood to the side. Hu Zi wasn't very old, but everyone nodded their heads in agreement. He was an experienced stonecutter. Gao Yufeng moved a stool over and sat down beside him. When he saw that something was wrong, he gave Hu Zi a command.
Half an hour later, the rock that was originally the size of a basketball was undone, and a ball shaped precious jade that was around rank 14 appeared. Everyone's eyes began to shine as they looked at it.
"The bet has risen, it has risen greatly. "What are you guys blanking out for? Go to that plate of one thousand long dragons and give it to me." Chen Dayuan shouted out to the few waiters inside. After a while, the jade market was filled with the crackling of firecrackers.
"Little brother, are you selling this jade?"
