Chapter 44 : Stone Gambling Competition-2
The stone gambling fair was very close, so much so that Xu Qing arrived before he could finish eating half of the roast chicken. Even after getting off the bus, she was unwilling to throw it away. She bit on the greasy roast chicken and walked all the way to stall No. 56.
As expected, the stall was filled with raw materials. Even the staff at the stall moved the table outside. Xu Qing happened to have finished half of the roast chicken. He wiped his hands on the raw materials and blinked his eyes at the pile of raw materials.
Hey! Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and joy appeared on his face. Just as Meng Shicheng had said, this pile of materials was indeed old and cheap. Two out of ten pieces actually contained jade, but most of them were flower green seeds and bean seeds. It took a long time to find a good gold thread material.
Gold species, refers to the jade color is silk linear distribution, not full green, respectively colored jade has a point is particularly important, the proportion of color bands is large, the color is bright, the price of water head foot is naturally high, and vice versa will be much cheaper.
Xu Qing discovered that this gold thread seed material had a good color. The most important thing was that it was big. Two-thirds of the material was jade, which was at least 50 kilograms. If he took it to the competition, he could at least break even.
He walked around the pile of raw materials again and moved them a few times from time to time. However, he was disappointed. Not to mention glass seeds, he could not even find ice seeds or egg white seeds.
At the same time, Xu Qing also discovered that his right eye could only see through stones about one meter long. If it was beyond the range, he would only see a hazy patch. He could only continue unless he moved away the overlapping stones. Choosing raw stones really became a real physical task for him. Fortunately, Aroo and Abao took the initiative to help. Half an hour later, the three of them were sweating profusely, as if they had been fished out of water.
" Old man Mo Gang, what a scam!" Xu Qing moved away a large piece of stone and took out a piece of material the size of a basketball. He suddenly bounced up and waved his hands.
"What's wrong?" Tang Guobin hurriedly ran over to check. Xu Qing grimaced as he covered the back of his hand. There was a trace of pain in his eyes.
" Damn, I got stung by a bug…" Xu Qing smiled bitterly and released his palm. The back of his right hand was already red and swollen. In the blink of an eye, it was swollen like a steamed bun.
Meng Shicheng swept his gaze around and pointed at a yellow-green flatworm curled up on the ground. He shouted," It's a hairy leper. How did this thing climb onto a rock?!"
The stinging pain of being stung by the hairy mantis was unbearable, and his skin felt as if it was being burned by fire. Xu Qing was no longer in the mood to pick the seeds. He wished he could put his whole hand into the refrigerator and freeze it. He could only stand by the side with a bitter expression.
Tang Guobin shifted his anger onto the hairy man on the ground. He raised his foot and was about to stomp on the culprit, but Meng Shicheng was quick to react and reached out to stop him.
" Wait, this is the best medicine for treating stinging injuries. Where can I find it if I stomp on it?"
After saying that, Meng Shicheng quickly picked up the hairy beetle on the ground with his fingers and walked to Xu Qing's side. He pinched the insect and put it on the back of his hand. With force, he pinched the caterpillar's intestines and rotted them. He dripped a light green liquid on the wound.
" I've wiped it evenly. I'll find some essential oil to wipe it off later and it'll be fine…"
It was strange to say that Xu Qing felt that the pain on the back of his hand was much less after applying the green water squeezed out by the caterpillar. Unfortunately, the insect's body was too small. It was squeezed into a piece of skin and there was not much liquid squeezed out. It could only barely be applied to the affected area.
At this moment, a staff member who reacted quickly brought a box of essential oil. Meng Shicheng opened the box and dug out a large lump of essential oil and applied it to the back of Xu Qing's hand. After doing all this, he let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on a piece of raw material.
"Alright, I'll send you to the hospital now?" Meng Shicheng shrugged. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. After all, Xu Qing had just chosen a raw material, and judging from the way he continued to search for raw materials, he seemed dissatisfied with the material he had chosen. Choosing to go to the hospital now was equivalent to giving up on this stone gambling competition.
"You don't have a fever, do you? Do you need to go to the hospital if you get stung by a caterpillar?" Xu Qing stood up and walked towards the pile of raw materials. When he passed Meng Shicheng, he accidentally glanced at the raw material on which he was sitting. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. The expression on his face suddenly became strange.
The glass imperial green…Old Meng had actually rubbed his butt again. Xu Qingzhen was speechless. His eyes were lost in thought as he stared at the raw material under Meng Shicheng's August 15th.
"Old Meng, remove your fat toot 'August 15th' and put this piece of material together with the selected one." Xu Qing smiled and pointed at the raw material Meng Shicheng was sitting on.
"What?" Meng Shicheng was stunned and didn't react for a moment. He didn't have the intention to move his butt.
Tang Guobin patted Meng Shicheng on the shoulder and sighed,"Old Meng! I really envy you for having a good butt. Do you remember yesterday?"
Meng Shicheng suddenly realized, thinking, yesterday I sat with the buttocks on the open 50 million imperial green, this boy feelings and want to repeat the old trick, anyway, is a bet, I hope Qingzi still has yesterday's good luck.
After choosing two pieces of material, Xu Qingsong heaved a sigh of relief. He did not plan to choose the remaining piece of material himself. He took a large pen and wrote two numbers on the raw material, number two and number three. Then, he drew a big circle and even drew the cutting line to minimize the loss.
"Brother Tang, go pick a piece of material. Be careful not to be stung by the fur." Xu Qing saw Tang Guobin eager to try, simply let him choose the last piece of material.
Tang Guobin happily ran to the pile of raw materials. He kicked and fiddled with it for a while before finally picking out a piece of yellow sand raw material with a few ring-like python patterns wrapped around its skin and carrying it over.
Plop!
Tang Guobin threw the raw material on the ground and said with a strange smile," Qingzi, help me look at this big and round piece. I think it looks a bit like Old Meng's August 15th. Hehe…"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and saw that there was actually a fist-sized ball of green inside this raw material. That ball of green water was not inferior to the violet that had been opened yesterday. It was like another piece of high-ice, sunny green jade. It seemed that Young Master Tang's luck was really not ordinary!
"That's right. Let Old Meng's August 15th take the lead." Xu Qing nodded and smiled. He wrote a number on the raw material. The reason why he used traditional numbers was to distinguish it from other raw materials. At the same time, it also indicated the order of understanding the stones. The final glass jade must be opened at the end to be shocking enough.
"Sigh! I've lived for decades, and that thing is still original! I didn't expect you guys to ruin it today. I can't protect my integrity later!" Meng Shicheng pretended to complain.
Xu Qing and Young Master Tang lowered their heads and retched in tacit agreement. At this moment, a deep male voice amplified by a loudspeaker sounded in the hall.
