Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

The next day.

Jin Xiaoxing and Ji Sanshu had another night of drinking last night. Ji Sanshu was a Taoist man and had his own way to relieve hangover, while Jin Xiaoxing slept until ten o'clock in the morning and didn't wake up.

"Xiao Xing, do you know a businessman named Cheng among the people participating in this stone gambling competition?" Uncle Ji asked slowly.

"Surnamed Cheng?" Jin Xiaoxing was in trouble, "Brother Shaoyan, to tell you the truth, the surname Cheng is a common surname in this area. If you pick up a random person while walking on the road, he might be surnamed Cheng. Participate in the Stone Betting Contest Among the merchants, there are at least a dozen with the surname Cheng."

Uncle Ji and Chu Yao looked at each other and were both a little surprised by his words.

"What? Someone named Cheng provoked you?" Jin Xiaoxing raised his eyebrows, "Tell me what this person looks like, and I can dig him out even if I dig three feet into the ground."

"Ahem, that's not necessary." Uncle Ji stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Boss Cheng asked me to see Feng Shui before, but I had something to do at the time, so I declined. Now that I think about it, But I found that I forgot to leave his contact information, and I wonder if his matter has been resolved."

After the three of them had breakfast, they arrived at the site of the stone gambling competition.

There was already a sea of ​​people at this time, and a huge screen hung in the center of the scene, which displayed the top ten jadeite prices with the highest total price in real time. Since the competition had just started, the first-place jadeite was estimated to be only over two million yuan.

There are multiple booths in the stone gambling competition. Most of the booths are covered with cloth or wooden boards on the ground, with jadeite raw materials scattered randomly on it. A few of them will have a table or a wooden shelf.

The sizes of jadeite raw materials also vary. The smaller ones are only as big as a palm, while the larger ones can weigh hundreds of kilograms. Each booth is also equipped with a cutting machine for customers to cut the stone on the spot.

There are two types of stone bets, "half bet" and "full bet". Half bet refers to cutting the wool to reveal the jade quality inside. Customers can judge the type of jade based on the jade quality, while full bet is just relying on observation. The weathered layer on the surface of the raw material can be used to determine whether there is jade inside.

Comparatively speaking, the risk of half gambling is lower and the price of raw materials is also expensive, while the full gambling is "one knife will make you poor and one knife will make you rich". This stone betting competition is comparing the "full gamble" method.

However, the Stone Betting Competition does not restrict the trading of semi-betting materials, it is just that you cannot participate.

Speaking of gambling on stones, Jin Xiaoxing talked eloquently, "Yuanyao, look at the people at the booth. Some are holding magnifying glasses, some are holding flashlights, and some are using various instruments. Many of these people are gambling. Veterans of ten years, if they want to say what kind of woolen material contains jade, they can tell it very clearly, and maybe they can write a book about it. But guess what, why are so few of them getting rich and so many losing money? "

"Because nine times out of ten you gamble, you lose." Chu Yao said softly. She had seen many gamblers herself, but none of them ended well.

"Haha, isn't it? Nine times out of ten you bet, you lose. If you ask me, that's ten thousand times, and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times you lose!" Jin Xiaoxing sighed, "Betting on stones, gambling on stones, as long as it has something to do with gambling. , then it is definitely not a fun thing. If you want to reach the sky by betting on stones, experience will only account for 10% or 20%, and the rest is all luck. It’s okay for us to play occasionally and broaden our horizons, but we must not get addicted to it. "

Uncle Ji smiled and said nothing. According to Chu Yao's character, how could he be swayed by this small fortune?

Jin Xiaoxing led the two of them to a booth. When the boss saw him, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Jin, why are you free to come here today? Do you also want to buy a few gambling stones to play with?" the boss asked with a smile.

"Go, go, all the raw materials in your booth are sold to you by me, and you have the nerve to say so." Jin Xiaoxing laughed and scolded, "I'm mainly here to accompany my niece, you bring those few pieces of half-bet materials, Let me see."

He emphasized the word "those pieces" and gave the boss a wink. The boss immediately understood.

"Okay." The boss turned around and picked out a few pieces of wool from the shelf.

"Yaoyao, pick one that you like. If you make a profit, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine." Jin Xiaoxing said deliberately.

Chu Yao glanced at the woolen materials on the table. They were not big in size, but each one had a small window opened, and they even turned green. The last planting water also reached the egg white level. Although the green color was light, it was better. Evenly.

Although these pieces are made of semi-finished wool, the quality of the jade on the window means it is a sure profit.

Of course, its price is also frighteningly high. The label on each stone is no less than six figures, which can match the clear information. Even if it is resold, you can only make a few tens of thousands.

Jin Xiaoxing asked his boss to take out these pieces of wool, naturally not to make money, but to spend money to make Chu Yao happy.

Wouldn't it be annoying if she really had to pick out all the gambling materials on her own and find out nothing?

Chu Yao picked up one of the pieces and tried to observe it with his eyes. Sure enough, he saw the jade inside. The jade in this piece of wool was very large. There was only a thin layer of weathered layer outside, and the inside was full of dark green jade. .

Unfortunately, there is a big crack in the middle of this piece of jade, almost splitting it in two. A bracelet could have been taken out, but because of the crack, only a few small pendants could be made.

The boss and Jin Xiaoxing were acquaintances, so he let Chu Yao slowly observe the wool while he went to greet other customers.

Chu Yao picked up another piece. She was about to take a closer look when she heard a scoff from behind her.

"Hey, whining, do you understand?"

Before she could say anything, Jin Xiaoxing choked out and said, "Cui, your family runs the stone betting contest. It's all about heaven and earth, so take care of yourself first."

Uncle Ji also had a somewhat impatient expression on his face, and whispered to Chu Yao: "This person's name is Cui Zehao. A few days ago, he wanted to ask me to set up the Five Ghosts Lucky Formation for him. When I refused, he became very angry. I'll go He follows me wherever I go, like a piece of dog-skin plaster."

Cui Zehao did not answer Jin Xiaoxing's words. Instead, he challenged Uncle Ji: "Master Ji, is it unfair for a Feng Shui master like you to participate in the Stone Gambling Competition?"

"Mr. Cui, I'm just here to hang out with my niece. I don't want to participate in the stone betting competition." Uncle Ji said, stroking his beard.

"So that's it. I have a question that has puzzled me for a long time. I wonder if Master Ji can answer it for me?" Cui Zehao asked maliciously.

"please say."

"It is said that Feng Shui masters who have practiced for many years can acquire the magical power of the Heavenly Eye. Master Ji must also have the Heavenly Eye. Can he clearly see whether there is jade in the raw materials?"

Cui Zehao deliberately turned up the volume so that everyone around him could hear his words. In an instant, their shocked, angry and jealous eyes were all cast on Uncle Ji.
