Chapter 117
"Sir, this way please . "
The shopping guide smiled slightly . Saleswomen here had a great service attitude, smiling when they saw people, which gave customers a comfortable feeling .
She brought Qingfeng Li to the open space in the east side . A 50-year-old man was cutting open the stone .
The man had rough but very stable hands, probably the result from cutting open many stones over the years .
In the industry of cutting stones, the older the person, the more experience and better skills he had .
"Are you cutting open this stone club?"
The old master looked at the plain stone in Qingfeng Li’s hands, his eyes full of surprise .
He was a master and had been working here for many years . Naturally he knew about the reputation of this stone .
This stone had been in this place for an entire year and no one asked about it . The young man in front of him actually spent 10 thousand Yuan to buy a stone no one thought highly of . Wasn’t he a sucker?
"Old master, please grind it slowly from the surface and do not cut it from the middle . Otherwise, it will hurt the jade inside . "
Qingfeng Li smiled slightly and said to the old master .
He was also a master of stone gambling, so he knew a lot about opening the stone . He explained it deliberately because he was afraid the jade would be damaged .
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the old master rolled his eyes . It would be absurd to see jade in this plain stone .
Normally the stone was opened from the middle because it was more convenient and straight-forward .
But Qingfeng Li asked him to grind it slowly from the skin and the old master had to do as he said .
After all, Qingfeng Li was the customer . The master was only responsible for cutting the stone .
However, as for believing there was jade in the plain stone, the old master scoffed at it .
Chi-chi
The old master sprinkled some water onto the stone, then took out a specialty tool and began grinding slowly from the surface of the stone .
The equipment he used was 20 centimetres long, with black thorns, a tool especially made for stone opening . Layers of stone powder slowly fell off and piled up into debris .
He grinded for around 20 minutes and 5 millimetres past the surface was gone . It was still a black stone, no greenness at all .
"Hahaha, this is so funny . I knew there wasn’t jade in the plain stone . You didn’t believe me . "
Jie Yang laughed and taunted Qingfeng Li .
People around look at Qingfeng Li with ridicule, thinking that he was screwed buying an abandoned stone . What a shame .
If there wasn’t a jade in the stone, Qingfeng Li had to compensate 1 million to Jie Yang . People around watched as if it were a show .
Ruyan Liu also frowned, with doubts of whether there was jade in the stone at all . Of course, Qingfeng Li told her there is, so she decided to wait and see, trusting Qingfeng Li .
"Sir, how about cutting it directly from the middle . Grinding little by little like this is a waste of effort and time . "
Obviously the old master didn’t think there was jade inside, and suggested Qingfeng Li cut directly from the middle using a stone-cutting machine .
The advantage of cutting open from the middle was that it saves time and one could see whether there was green color . But a disadvantage was that it may ruin the whole jade .
"Old master, I will give you extra 1000 Yuan . Please work hard and grind the skin slowly . "
Qingfeng Li naturally knew grinding stones requires quite a lot of strength, so he directly gave the old master an extra 1000 Yuan .
"Alright . I’ll listen to you . "
The old master showed surprise on his face . Normally it was around 100 to 500 to open a stone . Now the young man in front of him gave him 1000 Yuan, he was naturally satisfied .
It’s money . Everybody loved it .
The master wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to grind the stone .
Huh?
There's green?
The old master’s facial expression changed . When he got to 10 mm in, there finally came a bit of green color . The green was extremely rich and greasy, greener than any jade he had opened before .
Is this the legendary Emperor Jade?
The old master’s face was full of shock .
It was a bit hard to believe . If it really was Emperor Jade, it was a great fortune .
A huge Emperor Jade like this was worth 100 million with the raw material . If processed into jewelry, necklaces, it would have an even higher price, even to the point that it was priceless .
People around saw the green color, knowing that there was jade inside . Some people began to show interest .
"Little brother, I’ll give 500 thousand . Can you sell the stone to me?"
A chubby middle-aged man with beer said to Qingfeng Li .
He knew that the jade in this plain stone was not simple . He wanted to get the benefit and trick Qingfeng Li to sell it to him .
In the stone gambling market, lots of people were like this middle-aged chubby guy . They were called the "left-over picker", aiming to buy stones that just revealed green to gain profits .
"Not for sale . "
Qingfeng Li shook his head, rejecting the chubby middle-aged guy directly .
He knew that the chubby middle-aged guy saw the green color and wanted to take advantage .
You can take the advantage of others, but now you’re taking mine . Qingfeng Li didn’t show a friendly look to him .
"Little brother, though there is a bit of greenness in it . it doesn’t mean there is all greenness in it . if there is just this tiny bit, you will lose money . "
Obviously this chubby middle-aged guy didn’t give up and continued to persuade him .
He really began to like this "stone club" .
Stone gambling was betting the experience and luck . If there was only this bit of green in the stone, he still lost the money . Only with a large amount of green would allow him to earn profits .
"Don’t worry . I can afford this bit of money . "
Qingfeng Li slightly knitted his brows, no longer responding to the chubby middle-aged guy . He let the old master keep on opening the stone .
The old master wiped the sweat . With the file, he carefully ground the skin of the stone, afraid he would ruin the green inside .
It’s green .
All green .
The old master erased the stone covering, exposing the green inside . It was an entire piece of natural green jade, with an extraordinary green color .
The jade was about the size of bowl, with "Emperor" written on the middle . The green was so rich and greasy that people could barely open their eyes .
Emperor Jade…
Is it really the legendary Emperor Jade?
The old master had tears all over his face . He had opened stones for his entire life . It never occurred to him that he could open the legendary Emperor Jade .
Emperor Jade was the emperor of the jades and the most precious kind .
There were only four in China, each of which had a very great history . The first one was obtained by Emperor Qin Shihuang, the second by Empress Wu Zetian, the third by Concubine Yang, and the fourth by Empress Dowager Cixi .
Of course, the four Emperor Jade jades above were then obtained by the wealthy in Jing Capital, and each one of them is a priceless treasure .
Seeing Emperor Jade Jade, the crowd was crazy, full of enthusiasm in their eyes .
"It actually is Emperor Jade?"
Ruyan Li’s red lips slightly opened and her beautiful face was full of surprise . Her expression towards Qingfeng was full of light .
