Chapter 16 Imperial Green from Glass

In the courtyard, the tools for cutting rough stones were basically ready. Meng Yu and the little girl stood aside with expectant faces, while two young apprentices were making final adjustments to the stone cutting machine.

Putting the cooling water spray pipe close to the cutting knife, the young apprentice who had just taken the fish to pick out stones also stood up and said in a cold tone:

"First of all, a reminder, the rules of stone gambling: after you pay the money, the stone is yours. Once you buy it, it is yours. Whether it is good or bad is your own business. It has nothing to do with me or our store. Do you understand?"

Meng Yu couldn't wait to become a rich man, so she couldn't be in the mood to talk to him. He kept his eyes on the stone and nodded casually twice.

The young apprentice glanced at Meng Yu, who didn't know he was in "financial disaster", and sneered at the corner of his mouth, without saying anything more.

Turning around and bending down, the young apprentice turned on the button of the cutting machine, turned to Meng Yu and asked:

"Which piece to cut first?"

Meng Yu lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the missing rough stone.

Holding the pipa and half-covering your face is the most annoying thing, and it is really unbearable for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Meng Yu.

The young apprentice nodded when he heard this. Although he felt that there was no point or necessity to open the rough stone, after all, he had to complete the play. For the same yuan he picked up on the roadside, he still cooperated and helped him. Cut it.

Reaching out to pick up the stone, the young apprentice did not ask Meng Yu for his opinion. He chose a position on the surface opposite to the incision of the original stone and moved the original stone closer to the cutter blade.

The little apprentice's body was hiding behind the cutting machine. He wore goggles on his face and pushed the stone with both hands, slowly touching the blade.

There was a harsh friction sound, and the little girl on the side couldn't help but clenched her hands a little, but Meng Yu still looked expectant.

The coolant dripping on the blade mixed with the stone chips cut from the stone to form a grey-brown liquid. After more than ten seconds, it accumulated into a small pool under the cutting machine. At this time, the blade slowly penetrated into the original stone. An inch inside.

Vaguely, the young apprentice seemed to have discovered something. He squinted his eyes and involuntarily moved his face closer to the rough stone being cut.

The color of the water... doesn't seem to be that gray anymore, but rather a bit green.

Thinking in his mind, the splash of water splashed on his glasses, making him see a little uncertainly. He wiped the water stains on his glasses with his sleeve, and at the same time increased the intensity of pushing with his hands.

The young apprentice's attention was now more concentrated than before. He stared closely at the stream of water that was getting greener and greener with his movements, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

"Impossible, it's impossible."

The young apprentice exclaimed and stopped what he was doing.

The young apprentice who originally firmly believed that this was a fake rough stone could not help but waver in his mind when he saw the coolant that had cut into the inside of the rough stone and turned green.

Because fake rough stones are usually cut first and then colored with chemical dyes. It is impossible to color only the inside through the leather shell.

After the young apprentice stopped his movements, he immediately took off the stone regardless of the dirty water on it, took out the bright flashlight from his pocket, and shined it into the gap.

With this shot, the emerald green color in the stone was directly reflected, all hitting the face of the young apprentice who was close to the original stone, making his already round-eyed face full of green, making him look like Shrek. .

Another apprentice on the side couldn't help but move forward when he saw his companion's surprised look. The little girl standing on the side couldn't restrain her curiosity and ran between the two of them. Yu was unfazed and even took out his cell phone to reply a message to Fu Wenyan.

The young apprentice who came closer to his companion only glanced into the cracks in the stone and exclaimed:

"This color is actually better than the 'fake' ones... It's a bit brighter than the color of the original stone. It's a solid imperial green! Only then did it go down to less than an inch under the leather shell, and the entire piece of imperial It’s not allowed to come out green…”

At this point, the apprentice suddenly stopped talking. He and his apprentice looked at each other. The other apprentice immediately understood and turned around and ran towards the store.

Meng Yu looked at this scene and knew what the apprentice was doing, so he didn't stop him. Anyway, these jadeite would eventually be sold to their store, so they might as well just call the owner over directly.

Sure enough, not long after, the young apprentice led his master, who had a pregnant belly and had to take a break after taking two steps, to the courtyard slowly.

Another apprentice immediately handed over the bright flashlight and the original stone.

As an old man with thousands of stone gambling experiences, Fatty's shopkeeper's skills are naturally several levels higher than those of the two young apprentices. Of course, he recognized it at a glance as a piece of imperial green jade. In addition, he It was also determined that this was a piece of glass (the jadeite grade ranges from high to low glass - ice - waxy... etc.), and it was also a piece of glass with few impurities. Although it was only the size of a fist, it was at least the size of a fist. More than three million r.

He hadn't heard of such a high-quality imperial green glass being sold in several years, so he was surprised for a long time after he judged the quality of this piece of jade.

The apprentice on the side poked him twice, and he finally came to his senses. At the same time, he began to wonder where such a high-quality jadeite stone came from.

When the young apprentice called him just now, he hurriedly only said that he had found the jadeite, but did not explain clearly where the original stone came from.

The fat boss turned slightly and asked in a low voice to another young apprentice beside him:

"Is this the rough stone that the young man brought himself?"

The apprentice swallowed, pointed under the original stone, and replied hesitantly:

"It belongs to our family."

The fat boss was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the position pointed by the apprentice, and the veins on his forehead suddenly jumped.

This, meow...this...isn't this that piece?

The fat boss almost fixed his eyes on the "fake" position, and he had a thousand words of grievance in his heart, but none of them came out.

The fat boss could recognize this stone at a glance because he was extremely familiar with it. At the Jade Culture Festival in this city last year, the president of the Jade Association concluded that this stone was a fake rough stone at a glance. The fat boss thought at that time. Chang must bet that the stone was more powerful than himself, so he threw it in the yard without looking at it carefully after he came back. He threw it away for a year. In the past year, there have been several waves of people buying rough stones. When they saw this stone, they probably had the same mentality as me and did not take a closer look. After all, if the stone with naked jadeite was real, who would be stupid enough to throw it away? In the pile of raw rocks.

Things are always full of mistakes of one kind or another. With just one move, the fat boss lost millions. At this moment, he felt extremely regretful and distressed.

Wait!

Looking at the rough stone in his hand with a look of regret, the fat boss suddenly thought of something. He raised his head and glanced at Meng Yu, and then at the other two head covering stones on the ground, thinking about something.

Yes, people who really play stone gambling have this mentality. Of course, what others have picked is bad. Who will take the time to read it again? Only those fools who really don’t understand anything will buy it when they see it. !

Take a look at the two head-covering stones that look like fools. Who would really know how to buy such stones? Only people who don’t know much about jade would waste their money.

Secretly, the fat boss had already labeled Meng Yu as "not even a hairy guy" in his heart.

Such a novice stone gambler has extremely limited judgment on the quality of jade, so it should be easy to fool him...

Thinking about things that couldn't be brought to the table, the fat boss looked at the rough stone in his hand for a long time.

"Hey, shopkeeper? Shopkeeper! How about this piece I picked?"

Meng Yu didn't realize that the other party was being careful, so he asked knowingly.

After Meng Yu shouted twice, the fat boss came back to his senses, knocked twice guiltily, put on a high profile and said:

"Ahem, well, my little brother's vision is pretty good. This jadeite stone... is just okay! But... it's just too small. In this way, you don't have to cut it anymore. Just sell it to me directly and I'll give it to you. How about one of the highest prices on the market?”

Of course Meng Yu agreed to this proposal and had already planned to make money from this fat man.

Meng Yu then pretended to hesitate and asked:

"Tell me about it!"

The fat boss showed a harmless smile and replied:

"Although this stone is of average size, I just want to carve a Bodhisattva recently. I am short of such an imperial green stone, so I will give you a premium of 10% higher than the market price..."

Having said this, the fat boss paused, showed a "painful" expression, stretched out five fingers, and continued:

"How about half a million?"

As soon as the fat boss said this, Meng Yu touched his chin and stared at his eyes for a while, but found no flaws. But beside him, Meng Yu noticed that the two apprentices looked at each other calmly. , and then lowered his head in tacit agreement.

This small detail gave Mengyu an unusual smell. He was cautious and did not immediately agree to the other party, but suddenly covered his stomach.

"Ouch, I can't do it anymore, huh~ I'm going to go to the toilet first. Let's talk when we come back after going to the toilet!"

Meng Yu, who was pretending to have diarrhea, said this with realistic acting skills. He didn't care about the other party's attitude, turned around and rushed into the store. He noticed that there was no toilet in the small courtyard, and the only toilet was in the aisle of the jade shop.

Turning a corner and disappearing from the sight of everyone in the small courtyard, Mengyu rushed into the toilet as quickly as possible, but without looking at the toilet in the toilet, he turned around and leaned against the door, calling up Kuaiyin's mutant gene.

Possessed by supersonic speed, Mengyu rushed out of the toilet at a speed far exceeding the fastest aircraft on earth and rushed towards the door of the jade shop.
