"This skin and size are not very good." I held the wool in my palm and shook it, bargaining: "It's about two thousand."

The boss who had used the cutting machine kept shook his head: "Three thousand is the lowest price. You go to the third floor of Xiaoying Jewelry City, Beijing to inquire. The rough stone you have to buy at least 35,000 to 4,000 yuan." If I hadn't known that there was Gao Cui in the wool, I wouldn't have bought it here with him, because the price was too dark. But now, even if he asks for 20,000 yuan, I have to buy it.

Afterwards, the two men with the boss began to help the middle-aged man who bought wool materials to calcite.

I was afraid that the yellowish-brown wool would be picked up, so I held it in my hand and didn't let it go. I took out thirty bills from my wallet and gave them to the boss: "I want this, please count it."

"Okay." The boss asked someone to go into the seal shop and walked the name coins around the banknote counter. "Young man wait a moment, there is only one machine. After he removes his piece, he will disassemble your piece."

After the boss discussed the window opening with the middle-aged man, the cutting machine started with a squeak.

Then, the harsh sound of the wheels rubbing against the rough stones came in vain.

I blocked my ears without blinking and stared at the other side. Soon, a smooth section appeared on the side of the wool of more than ten kilograms, but there were still black stones inside, and even green shadows were not seen. The middle-aged man said calmly: "Let's rub!" The machine started again, polishing the raw stones one by one. As time went by, the thickness of the wool gradually decreased.

Sixteen pounds become ten pounds.

Ten pounds turn into eight pounds.

Eight pounds turn into four pounds.

When the last piece was divided into two halves, booing burst out on the spot, "It's over!"

Colorless, waterless or green, tens of thousands of yuan was considered a waste of water and wiped out!

The middle-aged man looked very bad, and cursed at the gravel stone and turned around and left.

"Mirror! Mirror!"

My arm was about to hand over the boss, and I paused in the air. I hesitated and took it back, and turned around to look across the road. Jiang Yan, who was holding a lollipop in her mouth, was waving her arms to me. There were four people next to her, two men and two women, probably from the antique club. I have heard of three of them, the short and fat girls and the twin boys. The rest of them were a little bit jealous, and it seemed that they had never seen them much.

"This is Gu Jing I mentioned to you. He is very knowledgeable about walnuts. Just call him a mirror." Jiang Yan seemed to be born and familiar with me. Although she only knew me for two days, she looked like an old friend for many years.

After introducing me, she pointed to the fat girl who weighed more than 300 kilograms and said, "Orange, my roommate." Because of her exaggerated body shape, she left a deep impression on me on the first day of school. At that time, everyone said that she was 1.5 meters high and 1.5 meters high and 1.5 meters high. In this way, the nickname of Orange was about to emerge, and she was very vivid.

The girl on the left side of the orange, who I had never seen before, was called Shaobing, and was also from Jiang Yan's dormitory. She had many sesame-like little pockmarks on her face, no wonder she was nicknamed "Shaobing".

The two twin boys, the older brother is called Da Jia and the younger brother is called Xiao Jia, both of whom are sophomores.

We got to know each other, and then Jiang Yan noticed the stone in my hand, said anxiously, "See me," and grabbed her arms, looked left and right, and handed it back to me, and said strangely: "Have you bought it? Why did you choose this? The skin color is not very good?"

I couldn't tell the truth and said, "Don't play."

Then, Jiang Yan walked into the pile of wool and scattered it. After a while, she shook her head in disappointment and walked back: "I thought it was fresh goods. This batch was not good. The mining plants were not together. The skin was poor, the size was small, and the price was expensive, so I don't recommend buying it. Well, I'll do it for you. Even if there is green inside, 99% of it is also a medium- and low-end bean jadeite. It cost 20,000 yuan to die, but how much does a piece of raw stone cost? It's nearly 10,000 yuan, and it's not worth it at all."

Orange said, "Then you can earn ten thousand yuan if you open it."

Shaobing is not very talkative, she just listens quietly from the side.

"Silly hat, do you think it's a roadside cabbage?" Jiang Yan seemed to have a lot of research on gambling stones and said: "The key is that it can't be opened. People say that nine out of ten gamblings will lose, but judging from the quality of this batch of wool materials, one hundred yuan may not necessarily be able to get one piece. A typical one hundred gamblings will lose ninety-nine." Suddenly, her smart big eyes aimed at me: "But gambling stones, you can't see it until the last moment. Come on, the mirror, hehe, try to cut out a full emerald glass type!"

I smiled and said, "I borrow your good words."

Dajia said to me: "Yanyan's family is in a jade business and often deals with stones."

I suddenly realized that no wonder she knew nothing about walnuts, but she was very good at wool materials. It turned out that everyone had their own strengths.

While we were talking, a couple bought a piece of wool that weighed about nine kilograms. The boss looked at me inquiring and said, "I'm not in a hurry, you can drive it for them first." The worker behind him moved the cutter according to the route designated by the couple. They were probably impatient and could not stand the torture of one knife and one knife. Instead, the boss chose to cut the calcite from the middle.

This method is convenient and fast, and the only disadvantage is that it has a certain chance of cutting the jade inside.

Orange and Shaobing may not be very interested in gambling stones, so they started chatting hand in hand.

Jiang Yan and Jia Jia were very focused on looking at the cut surface of the wool, fearing that they would miss the first green.

However, the facts are exactly the same as the saying - it is difficult for gods to break up, and it is often a few people who make money.

The stone is divided into two, and the inside is empty, exactly the same as the wool materials of the middle-aged man before.

"Another piece was scrapped."

"Yes, how can it be so easy to produce green?"

The young couple unwillingly asked the young worker to cut it a few more times. It was not until the wool was divided into two and four into eight that they accepted the fate of losing the bet.

"It's our turn! It's our turn!" Jiang Yan pushed me a few times on the back with encouragement, "Do you need to burn incense to worship the gods and Buddhas?"

"Not that much attention." I laughed and shook my head, and sent the hot wool in my hand to the worker's hand.

Orange and Shaobing stopped chatting and squeezed away the crowd and surrounded them.

The boss asked according to the usual practice: "How do you want to drive?"

I sought Jiang Yan's opinion and said, "Print slowly from the side of the drum, just don't have too much amplitude."

I have always been cautious and do not have the courage to calcify. And don’t experts say that I should rub more and solve less?

Seeing the yellowish-brown wool getting closer to the cutting machine, my heartbeat became more and more intense.
