Iron Bull Legend

"Let's cut it. However, I heard from my friend that if we don't judge whether there is any jade inside a rough stone, we can use a machine to cut it. It would be a pity if the jade inside is damaged. If it turns out to be glass-type, the loss will be huge. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, you can leave this aspect directly to our professional stone-cutting masters. They all have several years of experience. You are Miss Mei Xin's distinguished guest. I dare not say that our masters have decades of experience, haha." Kono Kohei laughed. This is also a way to approach customers.

"Okay, then let's do as Mr. Kono arranges. This is my first time gambling on jadeite, and I hope he won't let me down. Even if he can get a little bit of jade, it will be good. At least, it will be a good start and a good omen for my virgin bet." Tie Niu also didn't want to create a rift with the other party. Since they became friends through Mei Xin, they would definitely have contact in the future.

"Of course. First of all, congratulations to Mr. Li for a good start. It also brings good luck to our auction house." Kono Kohei waved and a man in his thirties came over. He gave a few instructions and took Tie Niu to pay the bill.

After paying for the goods, Kono Koheiyuki did not continue to follow Tieniu and the other man, but went to entertain other customers. The two of them went straight into the stone-cutting site next door, where the grinding machines were making a squeaking sound. Although Tieniu was already familiar with this sound, he still found it annoying after not hearing it for such a long time, and tried his best to block out the noise.

"Li Huijun, this sound is really unpleasant. It's still a little small. If you use a stone-breaking machine, the noise will be much louder. However, if the stone is broken and the volume increases, do you know what that feeling is like?" When Mei Xin said this, her smile became much brighter, as if she was describing the scene.

"Of course I'm happy. However, my excitement point is not very high. I don't have any concept of money. It's enough as long as I have enough to spend." Tie Niu said this because he thought that he would not be so excited in a while, which would arouse Mei Xin's suspicion.

"Hehe... Brother, don't you want to tell me that your family is rich?" Mei Xin rolled her eyes and glared at Tie Niu.

Today, Mei Xin changed out of the professional attire she wore in the mall yesterday and put on a pair of trousers and a light blue hooded shirt-like outfit. She looked like an elf, and the blue color matched with her fair skin added a sense of beauty.

Wearing a cotton coat in the ice and snow outside gives you a different feeling. Your figure looks even more graceful and eye-catching. Take Mei Xin's appearance for example. She has already defeated 98 to 99 percent of the girls in the country. She is a real beauty.

"Ahem, Miss Mei Xin, my family is engaged in the medical industry. Although we are not rich, we are content with a small fortune. If we are really compared with the rich people in your country, there is really no comparison."

"Brother, you are so polite. You didn't look down on me, a girl from a poor family, and you talked to me for so long. Do you have any other concerns?"

Mei Xin's call of "brother" made Tie Niu's bones go soft. These Japanese women are so annoying.

"Why would I have other concerns? Ahem, I just think that sometimes when I tell the truth, people won't believe me. Why is it so difficult?"

"Miss, come here quickly, glass... glass type..." The man identified by Kono Kohei had already put down the dental machine not far away, and his hand holding the bowl of water was shaking constantly.

"What... glass type?" Mei Xin rushed over, her beautiful eyes directly fixed on the window of the raw stone, and her eyes suddenly widened.

Tie Niu heard the stone cutter call Mei Xin "Miss" subconsciously, which confirmed his guess, so he just sat there without moving.

"Li Hui, come here quickly. This is glass-type imperial green. It is really unexpected. Come here quickly!" Mei Xin shouted, and she looked just like what he said just now, excited and thrilled.

"Is it really glass type... or... imperial green?" At this time, Tie Niu seemed to realize it late, as if his whole body's sensitive nerve endings were half a beat slow. He slowly stood up and walked over with square steps.

"Really? Look, this is glass-type imperial green. Look, the light is transparent, and the reflected light is so long. It must be... full inside." Mei Xin was holding a flashlight, and the entire beam of light was very long.

"Ah, it's really glass-type. I'm really lucky." Tie Niu took a look and waved his fist belatedly, as if he just reacted at this moment. Although there was excitement in his eyes, he was still very calm.

"Li Hui, why are you so quiet? Do you know how much the glass-type imperial green jade is worth? If this piece is all yours, do you know how much it would cost? How rare is it?"

"I don't know. I've just heard of glass-type imperial green. I really don't know anything else. Could it be... is it worth a lot of money?" Tie Niu was still pretending to be ignorant and making a nonchalant gesture, as if this piece of jadeite raw stone was not his and had nothing to do with him.

"Dongxuan, hurry up and untie all the pieces. I'll go find Kono and ask him to give Gugu a price?" Mei Xin said and ran away. Her movements were in stark contrast to her beauty.

Tie Niu stood beside Dong Xuan, watching him being cautious when he made his move again, fearing that he would hurt his flesh without paying attention, and in that case he would be executed on the spot immediately.

He has been working in this industry for more than ten years. During these years, he has grown from an apprentice to a stone-cutting master and has witnessed many fine and high-quality jades. However, this is the first time he has seen glass-type imperial green jade.

“If such a large piece had such a thick outer skin, and the rest was jade, I would be so rich, oh my god…” Dong Xuan sat there cutting the stone while muttering to himself, like a mentally ill person talking to himself.

"It's okay, just do it as quickly as possible and use more strength. It doesn't matter if there is some damage," Tie Niu said softly. He didn't want to spend too much time cutting the stone here.

"Don't talk. Do you know that if I lose such a small piece, it will be tens of millions. That's ten million. It will take me a long time to earn it. You are really a loser."

Dong Xuan didn't even raise his head. He didn't think about who the person he was talking to was. In his subconscious, he immersed all his thoughts in his great task of cutting the stone. Even if their Amaterasu came, he would ignore her.

This is the work spirit of a craftsman, and more importantly, it is an excellent quality of a craftsman. Although stone cutting is the heaviest and most cumbersome physical work, this kind of responsible spirit is still worthy of respect and praise.

"Here's ten thousand US dollars, as a red envelope for you. I don't know if there will be restrictions on receiving red envelopes here or if they need to be surrendered. Fortunately, they didn't come over," Tie Niu handed over a stack of banknotes.

"No, I'm already satisfied to be able to unlock such a perfect glass-type imperial green in my life. What, ten thousand US dollars?" At this time, Dong Xuan subconsciously raised his head and looked at Tie Niu who was looking at him with a smile and handed over ten thousand US dollars.

"No, you can't do this. I just said that it is extremely difficult for a stone cutter to cut a piece of glass-type jade in his lifetime, let alone glass-type imperial green, which is extremely unique. Nothing else can represent such an honor." Although Dong Xuan was looking at the US knife in Tie Niu's hand, he still tried his best to control his inner desire.

"Okay, put it away quickly. This is the rule and I can't break it." Tie Niu sighed. Even though he refused so firmly, he couldn't resist the temptation of money. This is what a human being is, and he is just an ordinary person.

"No, no, I just said that I have already enjoyed the honor, and I can't accept it anymore... Do you also understand the rules of this industry?" Dong Xuan asked with some confusion.

"Yeah, how could I not understand? This business is not only about this, but we also have to give red envelopes to the people who come to watch. Aren't these the basic operations in the jade stone cutting industry? Haha." Tie Niu's eyes were full of smiles.

"You are amazing. This stone doesn't show any signs of weakness. You..."

"I'm extremely lucky, you can't deny that, this is the reality. Don't you feel good when you do your job well and get paid?" Tie Niu knew that his giving of the red envelope and his words just now had exposed his true colors, so he directly stuffed the stack of US dollars into Dong Xuan's arms.

Because Mei Xin and Kono Kohei had already come over, and behind them, there were several other people also running towards this side.

If Tie Niu doesn't keep his mouth shut at this time, he might reveal some unknown things about himself, and the smart Mei Xin would find out, which is what Tie Niu doesn't want to see.

This piece of glass-type imperial green is considered a rare fine product. If he doesn't take it, he will be struck by lightning and despised by everyone.

Tie Niu certainly doesn't want to be the one struck by lightning, he still wants to live a good life.

"He Ye, look at this piece of jade, it's so beautiful, it's comparable to the peace amulet in my grandfather's hand. Now, I just don't know how much difference there is between the two after all of them are unraveled. Also, how big is this piece?"

"Dongxuan, based on your experience, what are the chances of this piece of jade being glass-type imperial green?" Kono Kohei asked in a low voice.

“At least 90%. Look at the light transmittance, the length of the reflected light arc, and the purity of the green color. I dare say it is definitely glass-type imperial green.” Dong Xuan said, using his experience and years of knowledge in stone cutting.

"It's really great. This is the best jadeite rough stone that our auction house has uncovered in all these years. We must promote it well. Uh, look at my mouth. I'm sorry, Miss Mei Xin." Kono Kohei only knew that he had said the wrong thing.

However, Mei Xin didn't notice these things at all. She was watching Dong Xuan constantly cutting stones and getting busy again. She was almost putting her whole face on it. She didn't even notice the few people squeezing in from the side, so how could she care about Kono's words?

"What did you say just now?" It was only at this time that Mei Xin remembered that Kono had just called him.

"Nothing, nothing? I'm really too excited. This piece of jadeite originally weighed nearly four kilograms. If it only had a layer of skin, it would weigh at least three kilograms. My God, a single egg-shaped egg is worth hundreds of millions. How much money is that? It's a family heirloom."
