life with stone

Chapter 2 The time to reveal the fate has come

With all kinds of emotions in my heart, I came to the Delong Gambling Stone Market.

This is the largest night market in Ruili, with nearly 3000 stalls in the entire night market.

Almost everyone on this street has a flashlight, watching the gambling stones on the stalls.

These people are like ghosts in the night, everyone wants to get rich from these strange stones for nothing.

After I went to college, I wanted to figure out why my dad and these gamblers got stuck in the rocks.

So in addition to my major, I took Geology and Mining as an elective, specializing in the study of the relationship between jadeite and mining geology.

After several years of research, I found that there are indeed traces to follow in jadeite betting. Those masters in the jadeite betting industry rely on those clues to find the best products among many emeralds.

However, if you want to become a master stone gambler, don't expect to make a lot of money without ten years of research.

I don't know whether my research is right or wrong, and I never thought about gambling with stones, and even wanted to overthrow people's rush to gamble with stones through research.

But now for my sister to survive, I have to gamble.

I remember that my dad used to gamble at a store called "Yuzhen" Gambling Stone Store. He often said that the goods in that store were first-hand.

So I came to Yuzhen Gambling Stone Store with a lucky heart.

There are many people in the shop, and the sound of machines rubbing against stones can be heard endlessly, which is very noisy. The smell of nicotine is accompanied by the smell of dust, which makes people cover their noses involuntarily.

I looked at the other guests, as if I had long been used to the environment here, very casual.

And they seem to have a lot of experience in choosing the rough jadeite. Watching them light up the rough jadeite with a flashlight, I feel that they are all masters.

But judging from the way they observe the rough stone, I can easily tell that those people are rookies.

To bet on stones, you need the entrance of the casino first, because the jadeite produced by each entrance is different. Only when you know exactly which jadeite is produced by the entrance, can you have a clear goal.

For beginners, it is best to bet on the Da Makan factory area. The materials in this factory area are small, but the shipments are very high. It is especially easy to produce yellow and green jadeite. As long as you can gamble with a touch of green, you will make a fortune.

With a goal in mind, I immediately searched for rough stones from the Damakan factory in the store.

Soon I found the material from the Damakan factory in a messy pile of rough stones. I picked up a piece of rough stone. Although the rough stones in front of me felt similar, after four years of geological research, I could clearly distinguish There are slight differences between these rough stones.

"Look at the shell, the shell is thin, the crystals are fine..."

This is a simple geology experience.

I hurriedly took the rough stone for comparison, searched around, and finally found a rough stone with a particularly thin leather shell.

I immediately laughed in surprise, but I didn't get carried away, and quickly reached out to feel the grit of the material and leather shell.

I suddenly felt the feeling of getting out of the sand, and I was very happy.

Desanding is a unique gritty feeling due to weathering.

The stronger the desanding, the better the seeding water of the material. The so-called seeding water refers to the transparency of the rough stone and the fineness of the crystal.

The thinner and more transparent the jadeite, the more valuable it is.

I touched it for a while, and felt that the gritty feeling was obvious, and I immediately looked at the material in surprise.

The size is not large, less than one hundred grams, and it feels like eighty or ninety grams. However, although the rough stone is small, the texture in the hand is not bad.

If you look closely, the leather shell is tight and the sand grains are even.

I think it's pretty good, but I don't know if I can win the bet.

I immediately wanted to take a look at the lamp with the flashlight. The main purpose of lighting the lamp is to see the performance of the meat inside the rough stone. If a master stone gambler can observe jade under the lamp, he will know his ability nine out of ten.

But I don't have a flashlight.

I immediately went to the boss, and I said, "Boss, can you... turn on the lights for me."

The boss sneered and said, "You are such a rookie. You don't even have the minimum equipment to play rocks. You can win the bet? Save some money for dinner. Seeing how skinny you look, I feel They're all malnourished."

I'm skinny and really malnourished, and I literally saved every penny I saved to go to college.

But I have to fight now.

I begged and said, "Please, help the boss."

The person next to me saw my pitiful appearance, so he gave me his flashlight.

I saw that the other person was a middle-aged man in his 50s. He was very decent and well-dressed. I immediately said, "Thank you...thank you..."

I gratefully took the flashlight and immediately turned on the light along the edge of the material. Suddenly, I saw a layer of yellow mist. When I saw this, I knew that this material had a good chance of winning the bet.

Because the characteristic of stone gambling in Damakan is that there is yellow fog, and there is a high price when there is fog. This is a manifestation that all stone gambling masters know.

The person who lent me the flashlight said to me: "Young man, it's ok, the eyes are quite sneaky, kind of...not bad, it's fluorescent, but the big makan is a gamble..."

I know that this person is also a master. Indeed, the materials in the Da Makan factory area are not famous for growing water. If you want to win big money, you still have to gamble, preferably yellow and green.

This piece of material has a fog-colored layer, which is a transition zone between minerals and jadeite when jadeite weathers, so this gambling stone is colored in all likelihood.

I nervously asked the boss: "How much is this piece of material?"

The boss clicked his tongue, and immediately said: "This product is not bad, you have a good eye, let's use 1 yuan to play."

I felt tongue-tied when I heard that, I don’t even want one hundred grams of this material, but I asked for ten thousand.

I have so much money.

The person who lent me the lamp immediately said: "Boss, please be kind, don't bully the newcomer, this kilogram of material costs 300 yuan per kilogram, why? Maybe someone really needs money for something urgent, come and try your luck, be kind."

I immediately looked gratefully at the person who spoke for me, and gave him a thankful smile.

The boss immediately smiled and said, "How much money do you have?"

I immediately took out the money and put it on the table. I said nervously and pleadingly, "I only have 1000 yuan, please help."

I humbly begged, which made the boss feel a little ridiculous, and he said impatiently: "All right, all right, let's play with it."

I immediately bowed to him gratefully, which attracted a lot of people's jokes.

I didn't care, and hurriedly took the stone to cut it.

I was very nervous and my hands were shaking. I walked to the edge of the cutting machine and said to Master, "Can you open a window for me along this edge?"

The master who cut the stone immediately said impatiently: "This small material is cut in half with a knife, and it takes a minute. It's too troublesome to peel off the skin. Let me cut it for you..."

I immediately said anxiously: "When the lights were turned on just now, the fog here was quite heavy, so I opened the window from this side, I was gambling, besides, this material is too small to be cut, if it is cut, it will be destroyed Pinxiang, there is no way to make things, master, can I beg you? You are tired."

The master who cut the stone was obviously busy and unwilling, so he said reluctantly, "Yes, but you have to add three yuan, and I will give you five yuan."

As soon as I touched my pocket, I really didn't have any money. I was so anxious that I started to sweat.

The person who lent me the flashlight directly took out ten yuan and said with a smile, "I gave this money."

Immediately I looked at that me gratefully, and I said, "Thank you, thank you so much."

The other party immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, little brother, if it's shipped, sell it to me, I'm collecting jadeite."

I immediately nodded gratefully. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the machine turning, and I immediately looked nervously at the stone-cutting master.

I watched him pick up the skin of the stone with a dental cleaning machine, and the tension rushed all over my body.

That feeling is like the unique sore feeling when cleaning your teeth.

You said he was in pain, but he was not in pain. You said it was acid, but it was deeper than acid.

That feeling is particularly tormenting.

Immediately, I put my palms together and prayed to God in my heart.

Suddenly, I watched the stone-cutting master stop what he was doing and put the stone in a bucket to wash it.

I know right away.

The moment of destiny is revealed.

Arrived……
