Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

With Lin Ran as his teacher, Qian Xiaoyong went from not knowing anything about stone gambling before, only knowing how to purchase raw materials at high prices and buying them blindfolded, to having a little understanding of stone gambling.

He nodded happily. It turned out that calling Lin Ran here today was not in vain.

"Of course, the appearance is just for reference." Lin Ran squatted in front of a stall of wool and shined a flashlight on it.

After shopping around for a long time, I didn't see anything good. It looked like they were all scraps shipped from Ruili.

He kept fidgeting with the wool, muttering in his heart.

But at this moment, he noticed a square stone among a pile of stones.

Lin Ran glanced at the number on the stone, marked seven, which meant it had changed hands seven times.

The surface of the stone is black and has a wax-like appearance. At first glance, it is the Laokeng variety.

The shell has faint python patterns and pine flowers, which does not look delicate.

According to the industry, fine-grained stones are more resistant to weathering than coarse-grained stones. If there are python patterns and pine flowers, the quality of the rough stone will not be bad.

But its surface is too dark, and current flashlights have limited intensity and can only see flashes of gray.

In other words, there is definitely green in it, but the texture doesn't feel that great.

And the stone was very heavy, so no one was willing to pay for it, so it was thrown in a corner.

In fact, gambling on stones also relies on fate. Lin Ran felt that this stone was particularly interesting. He squatted down and studied it for a while, tapping it back and forth with his fingers, but he didn't feel anything strange.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Qian Xiaoyong: "I think there is something in this stone."

"Really?" After following Lin Ran shopping for an hour and not placing an order yet, Qian Xiaoyong felt a little tired.

When he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the boss: "Boss, how much does this piece of wool cost?"

The boss was receiving other guests. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and said to them with a smile: "The two bosses are so discerning. I brought this back from the old pit. It has been changed hands seven times. It does not mean that It’s a piece of scrap.”

"Come on." Qian Xiaoyong interrupted his bragging and asked, "How much did it cost? I bought it."

The boss rolled his eyes and made a five sign.

It actually cost [-]. Lin Ran stood up immediately and said, "You who changed hands seven times still want [-]?"

The other party just saw Qian Xiaoyong and wanted to buy it, so he deliberately raised the price.

He was really a businessman without a city. Lin Ran sighed, there was no need to show his true intentions.

Now that the stall owners know that they are interested in this stone, they will naturally raise the price.

Qian Xiaoyong smiled and thought it didn't matter. He paid cash and bought the wool.

He just wanted to see Lin Ran's level because the delivery was coming soon.

"Okay, shall I do the stone removal here or do you ask someone to do it?" In Xicheng Jade Market, every stall owner has stone removal tools.

But everyone’s skill level is different, so after buying a stone, many people will find a familiar stall owner to analyze the stone.

After the two of them put it together, they decided to ask the previous stall owner to help unpack the stone. After all, they were acquaintances and could be trusted.

The stall owner prepared a cart for them and put the stones on it.

Then they pushed the cart and walked towards the previous stall.

"A Liang, we're back." Returning to the original stall, the stall owner obviously had nothing to sell and was sitting boredly smoking.

Watching them pushing a stone over, he immediately stood up.

"Mr. Qian, did you pick out the materials so quickly?" Obviously, this was not the first time that he helped Qian Xiaoyong unravel stones.

After saying that, he diligently helped them put the stone on the table and skillfully took out the water pipe to clean it.

But he looked at the stone and shook his head, "This is not as good as the stone I just recommended to you. How much does it cost?"

"Five thousand." Qian Xiaoyong said truthfully.

This made the stall owner A Liang speechless. For the same price, he bought a piece of raw material with worse quality, but he still thought Lin Ran was an expert.

But Qian Xiaoyong didn't have time to chat with him, so he smiled and said: "Ah Liang, please help me solve the stone. The price is the same as before."

The stone weighed about twenty kilograms. A Liang's skills were very mature. He fixed the stone and was ready to start polishing it.

Before unraveling the stone, he asked: "Little brother, do you have any requests?"

Help customers solve stones. Different customers have different requirements.

Lin Ran thought for a moment, recalled the touch just now, and said, "Try not to cut to the left."

"Okay." Ah Liang thought that he was not such an unreasonable person, so he put on his gloves, controlled the force, and started pressing the cutting machine.

With the cutting sound of the machine, the eyes of the people around were attracted.

Among them are jade merchants and ordinary people who just come to watch the excitement. The most exciting thing is the moment when the stone is opened.

Seeing the numbers on the stone, they all started talking.

"Who still buys a stone that has changed hands seven times?"

"The quality of this stone is also very poor. Some people also want black stones."

"If square stones can be shipped, I'll be considered wise."

They have obviously been in this market for a long time and have seen a lot.

Moreover, their ideas are all unified, and basically no one is optimistic about this piece of wool.

Lin Ran was already used to this kind of ridicule, and he just stared at A Liang who was operating the machine.

The first cut was cut in half, leaving nothing.

"Tch, it's indeed waste."

Seeing this scene, the people around him booed.

Because according to the experience of gambling on stones, if you cut across the middle and see no green, 80.00% of the stone will be useless.

A Liang also stopped what he was doing and said, "Little brother, it doesn't look like it's going to work."

But Lin Ran didn't stop directly, but said: "I don't want the right one. Cut the left one from a quarter position for me."

The payment for Jie Shi is based on the number of knives. The further the knives are, the more money will be charged.

Ah Liang looked at Qian Xiaoyong, and Qian Xiaoyong said without hesitation: "Continue to solve it."

A Liang didn't hesitate, fixed the wool on the left side, and started the cutting machine again.

His craftsmanship is indeed superb, and he controls the direction of the knife accurately.

It is also cut along the edge of the grain.

Qian Xiaoyong was actually a little worried. He didn't care about the thousands of dollars, but if Lin Ran was also a semi-expert who didn't understand, could he really help him out of the predicament?

It seems that the idea of ​​​​promising him half the equity was too naive.

He secretly glanced at Lin Ran, but he was confident and looked at it with his hands on his chest.

This cutting work took 5 minutes. A Liang went from being careless at the beginning to sweating profusely later.

It lasted a full 5 minutes.

Finally, the crowd of onlookers also shouted.

"Green!"

A Liang also had quick eyesight and quick hands. He cut out a flat surface and immediately took out a water pipe to rinse the surface.

Crystal clear, full of aqua green, displayed in front of everyone.

Everyone present was a professional, and someone shouted: "Golden silk seed!"
