Chapter 38 : High ice seed-Violet
The last half of the material was re-clamped horizontally. Xu Qing began to feel nervous. His eyes did not blink as he looked at the position where the short man had cut. It was only when the saw blade touched the center line of the stone that he heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to turn his head casually.
In fact, he had seen it with his right eye when he came here. The interior of this half stone was very strange. If the cut was two centimeters to the left, fog would come out. After wiping off the white fog, a fist-sized translucent aubergine jade would be taken out. The crowd quickly dispersed, leaving Xu Qing wondering how to keep this rare jade.
Pa! The whole raw stone was divided into four parts. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was completely destroyed. Among them was the old man who bought the material. He shook his head and sighed softly. He put his hands behind his back and prepared to turn around and leave. As for these broken stones, someone would naturally clean them up.
"Can you sell this stone to me?" Xu Qing finally mustered up the courage to stop the old man who was about to leave.
The old man was slightly stunned. Seeing that the other party was still a childish young man, he smiled and said," A few pieces of waste. You can take them and play with them if you like."
If he had the patience to slowly dig out the 200 kilograms of raw materials, he could still extract a few scattered green pieces. If he sold them for 200 yuan, the old man guessed that the young man who wanted to buy scrap materials was interested in those few things.
Xu Qing shook his head and said," No way. It's better to give money and feel comfortable. Just name a price."
The old man saw that the other party did not appreciate it. He insisted on paying for these pieces of scrap. A wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart. He said indifferently," I spent 450,000 yuan on this piece of material. Since you want 20,000 yuan, take it."
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment. He turned around and extended his hand to Tang Guobin." Brother Tang, take twenty thousand."
Tang Guobin took out two bills from his handbag and handed them directly to the old man. The money and goods were paid, and these scraps belonged to Xu Qing.
The old man took the money and put it into his pocket without counting: "Young man, these pieces of material are yours."
Xu Qing smiled at the short man who was still standing at the side." Then can I use the stone disintegrator here?"
The short man nodded." Of course. Do you want me to help you take out these pieces of material?"
Buying the leftover materials was the same as buying the materials directly from the stall. If Xu Qing asked him to continue to untie the stones, he would do so. This was an unwritten rule in the stone gambling industry.
"No trouble. I want to try it myself." Xu Qing picked up the purple jade material and placed it on the stone machine, turning on the machine.
This piece of material was completely transparent in Xu Qing's right eye. He quickly found the cutting point, grabbed the handle and pressed it down steadily.
Chi chi--
A palm-sized piece of thin stone was cut off. Xu Qing scooped up a ladle of water and poured it down from the cut surface. Meng Shicheng was the first to see the white fog on the cut surface, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother, it's better for me to clean the stone." Meng Shicheng quickly stopped Xu Qing from doing anything else. Everyone knew what the fog meant. If there was really a top-grade jade hidden, even if it was slightly injured, it would be a loss.
Xu Qing didn't insist this time. He stood up naturally and made way for Meng Shicheng. He watched Meng Shicheng quickly change the grinding wheel for stone cleaning and then began to clean the white fog.
"It's foggy. This piece of waste might rise in value."
" Oh my god, the waste that should be thrown out is actually fogging out…"
A layer of mist was wiped away, and a touch of crystal attractive purple came into view. The crowd became excited.
"Purple eggplant? I don't know if it's a tall ice violet."
"It's up, it's up." Someone couldn't help but shout excitedly, and those who hadn't gone far immediately gathered around.
The old man's eyes lit up. He walked up to Xu Qing and said," Young man, you're lucky. You don't have to untie this piece of material. I'll pay you three million. How about selling this violet to me?"
20,000 yuan worth of items had increased by a hundred and fifty times in the blink of an eye. If it was anyone else, it would have increased by a hundred times. If he sold it now, he would definitely make a profit.
Xu Qing shook his head and said," I'm sorry. I'm prepared to keep this material for myself. I won't sell it no matter how much I pay."
High ice violet was extremely rare. He planned to find someone to carve this violet into a few beautiful pendants and give one to Lu Yinxue as a gift. Anyway, he was not short of money now. If there were good things, he would naturally choose to keep them first.
Tang Guobin put his arm around Xu Qing's shoulder and smiled." Brat, I suspect that the God of Luck is your relative. Those who hunt in the mountains will have a share. I want half of this violet."
" No problem. Let's talk about it first. If I can only carve one pendant, I'll give it to Snowy." Xu Qing knew that Zi Fei wasn't small, so it didn't matter if he was given half of it. However, he still had to say a bottom line so as not to arouse suspicion.
Meng Shicheng, who was wiping the stone, turned his head and looked at Xu Qing with a resentful expression." Qingzi, I want it too!"
Xu Qing scolded with a smile," Get lost. You won't get a share this time. I'll give you half of the ice seed next time."
The crowd was speechless. These two young men were definitely amateurs. They had tried their luck and picked up a leak. They really thought that the ice jade was a common commodity and would fall down in the future.
The old man saw that there was no hope of purchasing the ice violet seed. He smiled coldly and said," Kid, you're so arrogant. Why don't you make a bet with me?"
"Bet?"
Xu Qing smiled strangely and shook his head. He thought to himself,'This old man must have seen Violet and felt unbalanced. He wants to make a trap and wait for me to drill it. Anyway, the thing is already mine, so I can't be bothered with him.'
Tang Guobin was a little unhappy. He looked at the old man playfully and said,"What do you bet on?" Old Master, don't tell me you want to bet with my brother on who will live longer?"
The old man said calmly,"It's very simple. Didn't this young man say that he could also open an ice jade?" Let's bet on this."
"Oh? Then tell me how to gamble?"
Tang Guobin was intrigued by the old man's words and asked relentlessly.
The old man smiled lightly."Didn't this young man just say that he could still extract ice jade?" Let's bet with this. From now until the end of the trade fair, if he can still extract a piece of ice jade from all the gambling raw materials, the old man is willing to pay double the price to buy it. In addition, he will help him carve violet pendants for free. If he can't extract ice jade within three days, he will sell it to the old man at the real price."
At first glance, Xu Qing was the one who took advantage of this bet. Even if he couldn't solve the ice jade, he wouldn't suffer a loss. At most, he would sell this violet at the real price without losing anything.
Tang Guobin's eyes lit up. He touched his nose and said," What if you solve the glass seed?"
The old man said seriously," Of course you win. You can't prove anything. You can make a statement."
Tang Guobin was rather interested. He went to Xu Qing's side and said," Brother, with your luck today, you will definitely win. Take out a piece of ice seed and make this old man cry."
