Chapter 54
On the ground were raw materials of a low level, while on the shelves were raw materials of a high level .
Raw materials could be sold by number or weight .
The price of a raw material didn’t rely on its size . From a professional point of view, if the skin was good and the green rate was high, it would be marked as a higher level, and was more expensive .
Of course, the higher level didn’t equal to a high green rate . After all, it was extremely difficult to choose the right raw material with jade in it . No one knew whether there was an emerald in a raw material .
Therefore, even if it was a raw material of a low level it was possible there was an emerald in it .
It all depended on one’s luck .
There were many people in the store, and no one came to welcome Gu Ning . Gu Ning liked that though . She wasn’t willing to shop with a salesman who kept talking beside her ears .
Gu Ning immediately used her Jade Eyes to scan over those raw materials . She checked those on the shelves first . They were supposed to be in the high level with high green rate . However disappointedly, they were mostly white stones .
Although there were some jade in them, the jade wasn’t of good quality . It wasn’t worth much even if you cut it out . Gu Ning didn’t want to waste her time on it .
Then, Gu Ning turned to the raw materials on the ground . They were all white stones again .
It seemed a pair of Jade Eyes wasn’t enough . Gu Ning also needed good luck!
She stepped out of this shop with disappointment then entered another one .
The result was the same . The raw materials were either white stones, or with bad jade in them .
The power in Gu Ning’s Jade Eyes was thin, so she felt tired after a short time . She prayed in her heart, hoping to find jade soon . Otherwise her power would be completely consumed soon . Without the power, she couldn’t use her telepathic eyes .
It seemed the God had heard Gu Ning’s pray . When Gu Ning was about to close her Jade Eyes she found two raw materials with green jade in them among a pile of raw materials .
One was almost as big as a football, while the other was merely bigger than an apple .
Both of them were of good quality .
Gu Ning felt excited, but remained calm . She walked like an ordinary customer to the pile of raw materials . With a cart, Gu Ning picked up those two raw materials with green jade in them .
To avoid special attention, Gu Ning also picked up another three raw materials in different size . They were all smaller than a football .
“Hey, how much are these in total?” Gu Ning pushed the cart to the counter .
The boss was a little surprised to see Gu Ning, who was a teenage girl, but since she was a customer, the boss treated her kindly .
There were marks on the raw materials, so the boss didn’t need to ask where Gu Ning had picked those raw materials up .
Those raw materials were all of a low level, and weren’t expensive . 200 yuan a pound .
Those five raw materials that Gu Ning had picked up weren’t big . They added up to 40 pounds and cost 8,000 yuan .
Eight thousand weren’t much as long as there were emeralds in those raw materials . If they were all stones, eight thousand would be too much .
Gu Ning paid her bill . The boss asked, “Miss, do you want to cut them out now?”
“Yes, please,” Gu Ning replied .
Gu Ning was here for money . She definitely wanted to cut the raw materials on site, and sell to the emeralds right away .
“Lao Zhang, come and cut the stones out,” the boss called someone inside the room .
“I’m coming . ” A man, who was around 50 years old, walked out from the room . He came to the counter, seeing Gu Ning . He was surprised that the customer was a young teenager .
Lao Zhang asked with uncertainty, “Miss, it’s you who wants to cut the stones out, right?”
“Yes,” Gu Ning answered .
“Please follow me . ” Lao Zhang then guided Gu Ning towards the area where they cut stones .
Meanwhile, those customers in the shop all stood around them to have a look .
Although there was a faint, almost zero, possibility to get jade out, it was the exciting point of stone gambling . Even if it was impossible to get jade out, the gambler would stay hopeful .
Everyone who enjoyed stone gambling shared the same feelings .
And the crowd was surprised the owner of those raw materials was a young girl .
Most customers here were middle-aged men or the elderly . There were few young people, especially young girls around .
Gu Ning handed the worker a waste material first . The worker asked her, “Miss, how would you like to cut it? Rub or cut?”
“Cut, please,” Gu Ning said .
“Cut it directly, or draw lines first?” the worker asked again . Although he could tell this one must be a waste material, he needed to follow the customer’s order .
“Cut it directly, please . ” It was a waste material . Gu Ning didn’t care at all .
Cutting a stone directly didn’t mean to cut it randomly . The worker still needed to have a good judgment .
The machine started to work . After one cut, it was nothing but a white stone . After another cut, there was still nothing in it . After the third cut, the stone had already been cut half out . Nothing in it . It was waste .
The crowd felt disappointed after the result .
But if there really was jade in it, the crowd would be envious .
That was human nature .
Gu Ning calmly picked up another waste material . It also proved to be a pure stone . The crowd began to feel bored . Some walked away .
The third time, Gu Ning chose a big raw material with jade in it .
“Let me draw lines first,” Gu Ning said, then drew some lines on it .
She didn’t draw the lines accurately, but basically the same .
The machine started to work again . After one cut, the out layer was removed . There was a light green color open to the air .
All of a sudden, Gu Ning sensed a kind of strong power . She was excited, and couldn’t wait to absorb it .
The power was absorbed into her eyes . She felt cool and comfortable . Her sight became better and she was energetic now .
At the same time, the worker raised his voice in excitement, “The jade! There is jade in it!”
His voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention in the shop .
The people in front of them were all surprised and wide-eyed . It was so incredible! Those who had just left immediately turned back, and some who just entered the store, all came up .
“What? There is jade in it?”
“Yes, there is jade in it!”
The onlookers seemed more excited than Gu Ning, who was the owner, because stone gambling was a high-risk business, and the green rate was always low .
Most of the onlookers knew Gu Ning was the owner . They all looked to Gu Ning with envy, but Gu Ning stayed calm as usual .
