Around one o'clock in the afternoon.

The banquet was almost over. Zhao Zheng, a drunkard, had a sense of proportion in such an occasion. Although he drank vigorously, he was not drunk.

He also remembered that he and Chen Jing would go to Xu Lin's place to mine rough jade stones in the afternoon.

After all, Zhao Zheng and Xu Lin still need to be more familiar with each other.

As I said before, Chen Jing has a strong ability to adjust his emotions. He has basically recovered his mentality now, but the seeds of ambition have been buried in his heart.

His ambition at this moment, or his desire to make money, is stronger than ever.

After the banquet, Chen Jing contacted Xu Lin. The other party was a little surprised when he heard that he wanted to open jadeite rough, but he readily agreed to help and gave him the address of a jewelry store, saying that he would wait for him there.

Xu Lin's family is one of the leaders in the jewelry industry. Although they mainly sell jewelry, they also deal with gold. They have opened many jewelry stores across the country called "Shuangmu Jewelry".

Because they all drank some wine, the four of them took a taxi to a Shuangmu jewelry store in the center of Changcheng City.

When Chen Jing and others arrived, Xu Lin was already waiting at the entrance of the jewelry store.

"Haha, Brother Chen, Boss Zhao."

Xu Lin greeted him warmly.

Chen Jing and Zhao Zhengzi also greeted each other with smiles.

"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be interested in stone gambling." After a few words of greeting, Xu Lin's eyes fell on the small suitcase Chen Jing was carrying.

Chen Jing smiled and replied: "It's not that I'm interested, I just saw a piece and wanted to try my luck."

Xu Lin nodded, and while leading a few people to the jewelry store, he said: "Betting on stones is still very interesting and exciting. As the saying goes, 'One knife will make you poor, one knife will make you rich, and one knife will cover you with sackcloth.' Before it is cut, no one can

I don’t know if there is jade in the original stone, or what the quality of the jade is.”

"I used to play stone gambling with my family when I went to southern Yunnan and Burma. Many people there made a living doing it, and it was really interesting, so we also built a stone gambling place in Changcheng. It's a pity that it didn't work.

There are not many people.”

As he spoke, Xu Lin led the four of them into the warehouse behind the jewelry store.

The warehouse is not big, and there are some miscellaneous things piled up, as well as piles of jadeite stones, large and small, of all kinds. There are still a few people picking them out at the moment.

There is a rough stone cutting machine placed in the corner of the warehouse. There is a master sitting next to it smoking a cigarette. He should be responsible for cutting.

"Brother Chen, let me see what your jadeite rough looks like." Xu Lin led a few people to the cutting machine and asked with interest.

Chen Dingding nodded and opened the small suitcase, revealing a jadeite stone the size of a basketball inside.

Xu Lin hurriedly knelt down and took a closer look, and said, "It looks pretty good, Master Liu, what do you think?" He raised his head and asked the cutting master who was smoking.

Master Liu blew out his breath and replied: "It looks good on the surface, but it's hard to tell until the rough stone is cut."

"How much did Brother Chen spend to get this rough stone?" Xu Lin stood up and asked curiously.

Chen Jing naturally agreed to the price.

"If you pay 80,000 yuan, as long as you can get a slightly better jadeite, you will definitely make money." Xu Lin said, and then looked at Master Liu: "Please Master Liu, please open this rough stone."

Chen Jing came here to dig rough stones. Hearing this, he said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Liu."

Master Liu put out his cigarette butt, said nothing, stood up, picked up the rough stone, and prepared to open the rough stone without any delay.

Several people who came to bet on stones nearby saw someone digging rough stones here, and they all gathered around curiously.

"Hey, this rough stone looks interesting."

"It's good, but it's a bit small. Even if it can produce emeralds, it won't necessarily be big."

"Size doesn't matter. As long as it's high-end jade, even if it's only the size of two earrings, you can still make money."

Several people were busy discussing, and even Kong Xue, who was beside Chen Jing, pursed her lips a little nervously. She really hoped that the rough stone could be found to be a good jadeite.

Chen Jing, on the other hand, pretended to be a little nervous on his face, but he was actually very calm in his heart.

The divine eye for treasure appraisal is infallible.

Master Liu was a veteran, and he quickly started cutting. He first cut from the side of the original stone.

"Oh, it's gone."

"It seems like there's no chance."

However, after the first cut, both sides of the original stone were gray-white, with no trace of green at all.

Seeing this, Xu Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Chen, it seems..." He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was expressed clearly.

"Xiao Chen, it's okay. I was just trying my luck." Kong Xue held Chen Jing's arm and smiled at him.

Chen Jing was calm in his heart, but said on his face: "Well, it's just not finished yet, so it's not necessarily all over."

Here, Master Liu's mood did not fluctuate, so he made a second cut from the other side.

But this time the two sides exposed are still not green, only gray.

Upon seeing this, everyone shook their heads and sentenced the rough stone to death.

Zhao Zheng also said: "Xiao Chen, it seems that your luck can only be found in antiques. This does not work well in gambling on stones. It is better not to think about playing these games in the future. The risk is too great." He was not comforted, but

Advising Chen Jing.

"Master Liu, please go deeper and cut again." Chen Jing smiled at Zhao Zheng and said again.

Master Liu nodded in agreement and made the third cut.

But this time, after the cut piece slipped, everyone's eyes brightened slightly, and a glimmering green light flickered.

"Fuck! I have it!"

"Is there really one? But there's only so much left that hasn't been cut, so it's probably not big in size."

Seeing this, Chen Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Master Liu, continue."

Master Liu didn't say much. He skillfully operated the cutting machine and quickly cut out the jadeite from the original stone. It was an irregular oval piece of jadeite, about the size of an adult's fist.

And as the full picture of Jade was revealed, the expressions on the faces of several onlookers, Xu Lin and Master Liu gradually became extremely surprised.

"This, this jade seems to be of very high quality." Someone swallowed and stammered in shock.

Master Liu took the water pipe next to him and rinsed the jadeite carefully, then took out a flashlight and shined it on it.

In an instant, the jadeite illuminated a bright emerald green under the light, and seemed to emit fluorescence, faintly translucent, with emerald green filaments distributed inside. The emerald filaments were very thin, and the filaments were straight and parallel.

, has obvious directionality, appears delicate, smooth and beautiful.
