Chapter 49 Emerald!
The middle-aged man had a gloomy face and a hesitation appeared in his eyes.
The basin of water next to the calcite machine is used to cool the heat generated by the calcite machine when cutting the raw stone. When cutting the raw stone, the spoon scoops up a spoonful of water, pour it from the cut, and then flows back into the basin with the cut stone slurry, and does not replace it. It only adds some when there is less water. Over the years, the water inside has been turbid, and a thick layer of mud has accumulated at the bottom of the basin. If you really drink this water, the situation will definitely not be too good.
"Haha, don't dare anymore. I just swear, but now I'm scared all of a sudden?" Seeing the middle-aged man's hesitation, Huang Hao sneered, as if I won't let you go.
Seeing Huang Hao's look of unsuccessful resignation, a ruthless ruthlessness also rose on his face with a numb middle-aged man: "Who dares not? Am I afraid of you as a pauper?"
After a pause, the middle-aged man with a sneer as if he was trying to give himself courage, he sneered: "If I guess correctly, you have never gambled on stones before, right?"
Huang Hao nodded without hesitation and said directly: "Yes, this is indeed the first time I have been here. Before today, I have never been involved in gambling stones."
Hearing Huang Hao's words, the ruthless expression on the middle-aged man's face became even more intense: "Okay, since you want to bet, I'll accompany you! But, if you didn't bet, what should you say?"
Huang Hao curled his lips: "If I lose, I will naturally admit defeat. In addition to drinking that basin of water, I will also apologize to you!"
"Okay, that's what you said. At that time, I want you to kneel in front of me to apologize!" The middle-aged man with a face waved his hand and said proudly: "Hmph, if gambling stones are so easy to rise, everyone in the world will be rich!"
Looking at the proud smile of middle-aged man with a smug face, a coldness flashed deep in Huang Hao's eyes. He asked him to kneel down to apologize, and it also depends on whether he could bear it!
"Young man, gambling on stones is not a joke. If you have time to leave now, don't worry, no one dares to do anything in my battle." The old man frowned and looked at Huang Hao.
Those who come here usually have familiar faces, so the old man naturally saw at a glance that Huang Hao was here for the first time. From the time Huang Hao entered the door, the old man paid attention. Judging from his every move, the old man concluded that Huang Hao was a gambling rookie.
"Thank you for your concern!" Huang Hao nodded to the old man, and then said in a deep voice: "Since I, Huang Hao, have said that, I will definitely do it!"
The old man looked at Huang Hao in surprise, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes. Then, he shook his head and sighed and stopped talking.
"Huang Hao, you have never gambled on stones. Are you really sure?" Li Yan blinked at Huang Hao and said with satisfaction and concern.
"Haha, don't worry, wait and see the show!" Huang Hao smiled gently at Li Yan, then looked at the middle-aged man with a smug face. Seeing the latter's expression of smugness, he couldn't help but sneer and walked towards the piece of wool he had seen before.
Soon, Huang Hao came to the shelf where the wool was placed and slowly touched the wool.
Seeing Huang Hao pick up the piece of wool, a hint of disdain suddenly appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes with a numb face.
"Hmph, I have also seen that piece of wool. The skin is rough and does not show any green characteristics. Moreover, the piece of material has been opened. Judging from the reaction from the door, it is just an ordinary stone!" He was secretly happy in his heart, but he did not point it out. He wished Huang Hao would fail early, so he let the queen kneel in front of him and repent for his disrespect for him just now.
Huang Hao picked up the piece of wool, put it in his hand and weighed it, and then carefully observed it. He saw that the piece of wool was in a disgrace, with thin cracks on the wool, and from the cracks, there was no emerald color at all.
Moreover, a small hole had been cut on one of the sharp corners of the wool, and the hole was still in disgrace. No matter how you look at it, it looked like an ordinary pebbles.
Looking at the piece of wool in his hand, Huang Hao thought to himself: "No wonder he lost 9 out of ten gambling stones. It seems that there is a reason for it. Many wool materials just now showed a lot of green colors, but the inside was not ideal, and there were very few gamblings. On the contrary, this most inconspicuous piece of wool materials has a mystery. If I hadn't had the supreme immortal eye and could see through the inside of the wool materials, no matter how long this piece of wool materials were left, no one would have chosen it."
Thinking of this, Huang Hao turned his head and looked at the old man: "Old man, how do you sell this piece of wool?"
"Well..." The old man looked at the code on the wool material and said casually: "This wool material has been here for more than a year and no one has bought it. I originally wanted to cut it at will, but I felt it was a pity, so I kept it there and ignored it."
After a pause, the old man continued, "Young man, if you really want it, you can take away this piece of wool for 200 yuan!"
Huang Hao nodded. After a while just now, Huang Hao also had some understanding of the price of wool materials here. Generally, kilograms of wool materials start at 300 yuan, and the wool materials in his hand are almost a circle larger than the adult's fist, which is definitely more than one kilogram. The old man's price of 200 yuan is much cheaper.
Seeing Huang Hao's heart-wrenching look, the old man suddenly spoke again: "Young people, so many people look down on this material, so there is their reason for it. You should think about it before talking about it!"
Hearing the old man say this, the middle-aged man quit: "I said boss, you are too partial to this kid. Could it be that this kid is your illegitimate child?"
As Mama's middle-aged words were said, there was a burst of laughter around him, obviously he was amused by Mama's middle-aged words.
The old man had no expression on his face, as if the words of middle-aged man's face could not affect his emotions at all. He just looked at Huang Hao quietly and waited for his reply.
Huang Hao has such an amazing existence as the Supreme Immortal Eye, and has already seen the inside of the original stone thoroughly. How can he give up? He smiled gratefully at the old man, and Huang Hao said, "Old man, don't change it, this one!"
As he said that, Huang Hao touched his pocket and took out a small stack of money. Looking roughly, he looked about seven or eight hundred yuan. This time he went out this time and was just coming to the Jade Street to investigate, and he didn't bring much money. If it were other slightly larger wool materials, Huang Hao really couldn't afford it.
He took out two pictures and handed them to the old man, and Huang Hao said, "Can we cut it here?"
"Of course!" The old man nodded: "As long as the wool purchased from our store, we will cut it for free!"
"Okay!" Huang Hao nodded, and without saying anything, he walked towards the stone cleavage machine and placed the stone next to the calculator.
"How to cut?" The person who operated the calcite machine was a thin middle-aged man who asked Huang Hao, his tone of casualness. He had cut too much of such materials and never cut anything good. This time it must be cut in vain again. However, due to professional ethics, this person still needs to ask.
"You cut here first!" Huang Hao picked up a piece of chalk, drew a piece of wool directly on the side of the wool, and gestured to the thin young man: "Just cut it to this angle!"
The thin young man was speechless. Is it so serious to use a piece of garbage wool? According to his intention, he cut it directly into the middle, and it was all over.
"Tsk!" Huang Hao couldn't help but reminded him in a deep voice when he saw a thin young man's eyes.
"I understand!" The thin young man nodded, fucked the wool material, placed it under the calcite machine, adjust the position and angle, and directly cut it down.
Soon, a thin piece was cut off. The thin young man scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it directly into the cut. Then he skillfully picked up a piece of cloth and wiped it against the cut.
Everyone was cushioning their feet, wanting to see what was going on. Every time someone cuts wool, everyone would spontaneously gather to witness it together.
Especially the middle-aged man who was betting with Huang Hao, stretched his neck with curiosity. If Huang Hao really made a gamble, he would lose.
But the next moment, his face suddenly became brighter: "Haha, look, it's still white!"
From his perspective, you can see the cut of the wool, which is gray and white, not even a little emerald.
"Oh, I'm saying that this piece of wool is garbage!"
"Yes, I've seen this material just now. It's impossible to come up with jade in this material!"
"Whoever buys the idiot..."
The people around were talking, and the eyes of Huang Hao were also a little playful. Many people heard the bet between Huang Hao and the middle-aged man who had Masty just now. Next, it depends on how Huang Hao dealt with it.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the middle-aged man was even more proud and couldn't help laughing. The laughter was full of sarcasm: "Young man, you're still kneeling in front of me and admitting his mistake. If I'm happy, maybe I'll let you drink less of that basin of water!"
As he said that, he laughed even more happily.
"Huang Hao, what should I do?" Li Yan looked at Huang Hao anxiously, and a look of inquisitive appeared on her face: "Or, let's run!"
"Don't be anxious!" Huang Hao smiled lightly, without any worries on his face: "Let's wait and see the show!"
Li Yan nodded suspiciously. He didn't understand where Huang Hao got his confidence when everyone was not optimistic about it?
Huang Hao said to the man who was calculating: "No need to cut it! Next, let's grind it slowly into the incision!"
"Are you sure?" The tall and thin young man looked at Huang Hao in surprise. He really couldn't understand why this young man refused to give up such a piece of waste.
"Hahaha, grinding? Have you been kicked by a mule in your head?" The middle-aged man laughed: "Not even green, but grinding stones, haha, I'm so laughing!"
Although the rest of the people did not laugh like this middle-aged man with a numb face, they also showed a banter in their eyes. Grinding stones are for polishing and showing the transparency completely, so that people can see their color or water. However, Huang Hao, such a piece of waste, can't even see a trace of jade. Is there any need for grinding stones?
"Do as he said!" As the boss of this wool market, the old man immediately reminded him a little unhappy when he saw that his employees were a little neglected by the customers.
His boss had spoken, so the tall and thin young man naturally had to do it. He didn't care about anything else, and he picked up the grinder and grinded it out at the cut.
"Si Lala--" A series of harsh sounds kept ringing, and a layer of stone chips fell down.
"Tsk, it's useless!" The middle-aged man with a numb face looked disdainful, and he hugged his chest with his hands, looking at Huang Hao, and a sneer appeared.
