Chapter 38
It was a holiday today, and all the shops and shantytowns in the most famous antique and flea market in the imperial capital were open to the public. When they arrived, it was already full of people.
Looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, Su Mu had reason to wonder if all the people from the entire imperial capital had gathered here.
"These days are holidays, and this place is open all day long. Many people who come to the imperial capital will come here to buy some souvenirs. It's a good gift to bring back, isn't it? It's not in vain to come to the imperial capital." Chang Shan saw Su Mu With a curious look on his face, he explained kindly.
Yan Hao frowned when he saw so many people. There were even blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners among them. He subconsciously protected Su Mu behind him to prevent the people next to him from crowding him. "Are we buying jade or rough stones? Here It seems that there is also Hetian Baiyu."
"It's better to gamble on stones. Untied jade is too expensive. I don't have that much money to buy it." Su Mu was willing to buy untied jade, but he was so shy.
"Based on your ability, how much to buy is just an idea. You can find those brick materials to start with. You don't need to cut them on the spot, and there will be no trouble." Yan Hao put his head next to Su Mu's ear , the voice was so low that even Chang Shan and the others standing beside them could only see his lips moving, but could not hear the sound.
Su Mu was thoughtful, "Okay then, let's go and have a look first, and buy whatever we have. You know, the things I need are of high quality."
On this side, Lin Qingfeng was still there to popularize the knowledge about stone gambling for Su Mu, such as pine flowers and cracked gambling. He, I can feel the aura in the emerald!If he really said it, people might think that he had a fever and was talking nonsense.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I just thought that I gambled once when I was in Baishui City. I went with Yan Hao at that time. I bought a few bricks and produced three good jadeites. It is rare to come here this time." Imperial Capital, I also want to see how my luck is doing recently." Su Mu laughed.
Lin Qingfeng was stunned, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of Su Mu's words, and slowly widened his eyes, "You mean, some time ago in the stone gambling industry, the person who solved the best jadeite from bricks was you ?”
Su Mu was a little proud, "Yeah, I didn't expect that!"
Lin Qingfeng looked at Su Mu stupidly, as if looking at an alien, "I can't see it, you are actually a hidden master."
Seeing Lin Qingfeng's performance, Su Mu turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the people around him, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of playing tricks on others.
He stretched out his index finger and hooked Lin Qingfeng. Lin Qingfeng didn't understand, so he leaned his head closer, Su Mu looked down and said in Lin Qingfeng's ear: "I'm a fairy, I can see Is there any emerald in the stone! Do you believe it?"
Although Su Mu's voice was low, it didn't escape the prying of the other people who were listening to the wall. They thought Su Mu wanted to say something super secret, but he didn't expect such a sentence.
A few people looked disappointed. If Su Mu said that he was a martial artist and his rank was not low, these people might still believe him or her. This god...is debatable.
Su Mu shrugged at Yan Hao, feeling extremely helpless, these days, no one would believe the truth!
"..." Lin Qingfeng was even more speechless, this child is really irritating, "This jadeite is different from others, 'the jade is hard to break an inch' is not a joke! Even those who are called the Jade King I can't guarantee that I will be able to pick out 100% of the rough jadeite. Not to mention the human eye, even the current advanced technology cannot detect the situation inside the wool without destroying the skin of the jadeite wool I told you, don't dream."
"How do you know that gods can't break jade? Have you ever seen it? Maybe it's because gods don't like this kind of ordinary jade with little aura." Su Mu swore that he was just stating the facts.
Lin Qingfeng was speechless.
Yan Hao shook his head, this Su Xiaomu was playing tricks on people again, he stopped listening to them chattering, and took the lead to walk to the end of this antique and second-hand goods street. He remembered that there was the largest gambling stone market in the imperial capital.
The others shook their heads and followed behind him.
Not only Lin Qingfeng, but even Su Mingjun is very fond of this place.People like them always come here to find something to go back to when the elders in the family have birthdays or big festivals.This antique flea market is the largest antique market in China, and now it has gradually developed into a market integrating antiques and second-hand goods. Yan Hao's decision to let these people lead the way is really right.
It was the first time for Su Mu to come here, and he was very curious about everything here. In his eyes, whether it was a shantytown or a merchant on the street, there was more or less aura escaping from it.Seeing these various auras, Su Mu's heart couldn't help but move. Maybe he can find some antiques with stronger auras here to replace the five-element talismans in the five-element spirit-gathering array?
There was something on his mind, so he didn't leave quickly. Fortunately, Chang Shan and the others could understand Su Xiaomu's feelings as a little bumpkin who came to the imperial capital for the first time, and they didn't rush.
After walking for a while, there was a sudden "cracking" sound, and the smell of gunpowder came oncoming.
"What are you doing? It's not a festival, let's set off firecrackers?" Chen Pingan didn't know much about the stone gambling industry, so he asked this question.
A well-meaning passer-by helped him out, "Haven't you ever been in the Gambling Stone Market, right? Someone has made a good offer, and they are setting off firecrackers to celebrate."
"Oh..." His face was dazed.
"Then what kind of good news came out? Look at this firecracker is not small." Lin Qingfeng was very concerned about this. Who made jade a non-renewable resource?In today's society, there are more and more people who like jadeite. There are only so many jadeite resources, and if you dig one piece, you will lose one piece.Now there are fewer and fewer good jadeite raw materials.As a result, Lin Qingfeng, who was not very concerned about the family business, would help to collect some of the raw materials if he came across good raw materials when he was away, and if the price was below his psychological line.
Passerby: "Golden thread is yellow and green, it's not big, it's been bought by a big jewelry company."
"It's just right, let's go to be happy too! Maybe we will be lucky today." Lin Qingfeng's words attracted knowing smiles from the onlookers. There are no stone gamblers who are not superstitious, so he is doing well. Some pious people have to fast for seven days before gambling on stones, bathe and change clothes, burn incense and worship Buddha.
Six people entered the shop called "Shiyuanju", and there was the faint sound of machines rubbing against each other. There seemed to be many people in the backyard, and various sounds could be heard from time to time.
Su Mu walked to the backyard first, with a little excitement on his face, like someone who came to the store for the first time to gamble on stones to see the world.According to Lin Qingfeng, this "Shiyuanju" is the largest one in Gujiu City.
The layout of the shop is similar to other jade shops. There is a relatively small shop in front, which sells finished jade, mostly jadeite.
"I heard that the woolen materials of their family are all transported from Burma and Baiyue, and the quality can be guaranteed." Lin Qingfeng led a few people into the backyard familiarly.
After entering the backyard, Su Mu found that the size of the backyard was not small, about [-] square meters. In a place like the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive, being able to sit on such a large open space shows that the owner of the store is not small.
The yard is full of rough stones. According to Lin Qingfeng's earlier introduction, the performance of the woolen materials here is not bad.
Many stone gamblers or salesmen from major jewelry companies gathered here, and it looked a bit crowded.There are two sets of stone-cutting tools under the wall on the right, and many people are watching there.
Listening to Lin Qingfeng's introduction, while looking around, Su Mu didn't take it seriously when he heard Lin Qingfeng's praise for this stone gambling market.According to Lin Qingfeng, these woolen materials are considered to be of middle-to-high quality. However, in Su Mu's perception, the few pieces of woolen material that Lin Qingfeng referred to are still too mediocre even though they have aura.Compared with the expensive price of this piece of wool, it is really not worth buying it.
The middle-aged man who looked like the owner of the shop stood not far away, and was stunned when he saw them coming in. As a person who had worked hard in the imperial capital for half his life, he knew three of the six young people who came in.
The shop owner subconsciously took two steps forward, but was stopped by Chang Shan's gaze, and immediately turned around and walked in another direction.
As a person who knows Su Mu's details well, Yan Hao firmly believes that Su Xiaomu has sweets to eat, and follows Su Mu closely. Whenever Su Mu carefully looks at it and puts it down, he takes it all into his pocket.
What he did made the other four people very puzzled. They knew that the relationship between the two of them was good, but no matter how good they were, they couldn't make fun of their own wealth and property.
There was something wrong with the way everyone looked at Yan Hao.
Su Mu did not comment on Yan Hao's tricky behavior. Anyway, the jade in these woolen materials is not high enough in his eyes, and it is a waste to leave it alone. It is worse than a cheap good friend.Thinking of this, Su Mu even pointed out to Yan Hao which ones are worth buying and which ones are worth forgetting.
Soon, the cart next to Yan Hao was already filled with all kinds of woolen materials, but Su Mu was still not sure which one he should buy. Yan Hao said that he had already picked enough, as a human being, it is better not to be too greedy.
Su Mu was very relieved. His mentality was one of the most important reasons why he looked at Yan Hao differently.
Turning around, he waved at Chang Shan and the others. At this time, they had already picked up one or two pieces of wool in their hands.Everyone was very curious about what Su Mu wanted to do when he called them over.
"Do you believe me?" Yan Hao asked bluntly.
The four of them nodded without hesitation, "Of course, we are partners who go through life and death together!"
Yan Hao: "Trust me, pick two here, there will be surprises."
Lin Qingfeng was dumbfounded, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to Yan Hao's forehead, "I don't have a fever!"
Yan Hao slapped Lin Qingfeng's hairy hand off, "Choose it, if you don't pick it for a while, you will regret it and blame others."
Seeing that he spoke solemnly, everyone thought to themselves that all the woolen materials that Su Mu had seen were not expensive, and they didn't cost much anyway. They could still afford more than 20 to [-] yuan, so they picked two yuan each. Su Mingjun even helped Wang Hao, who was not present, pick two pieces to hug, euphemistically saying, "Share the blessings and share the difficulties"!
At this time, Su Mu's wool was also selected. To their surprise, out of the three pieces of wool that Su Mu picked, two of them were actually bricks. I really don't know that this little guy is addicted to picking bricks.
When counting the money, the owner of Gambling Stone Market was very happy, not because these six people paid a large amount of raw materials, but because the two most promising young masters from the Lin family and the Chang family in the imperial capital visited his small shop ah.Is this my registration at these two homes?
"Do you want to cut stones?" the shop owner asked casually.
"Cut it!" Lin Qingfeng really wanted to see what happened to the pieces of wool that Yan Xiaohao strongly recommended to him. After paying the money, he pushed his small cart to the stone-breaking machine.
Just in front of a person who cut a piece of wool and retreated dejectedly, Lin Qingfeng inserted it quickly with his hands and feet.
This afternoon, the directors of the entire Guji City were all excited. Before Su Mu and his party came in, a piece of high-grade jadeite had already been unearthed in "Shiyuanju".After Su Mu and his group came in, they produced seven pieces of high-grade jadeite made of ice and glutinous seeds. Although they were not big, they were shocking enough.
On this day, the owner of "Shiyuanju" was depressed and happy. What was depressed was that he did not open these high-grade jadeites, and because of Lin Qingfeng, he didn't even have the chance to bid.Happily, as soon as these seven pieces of emeralds come out, the sales of wool in his shop will definitely increase in the next few days.The prospect of counting money until your hands cramp is not far off.
After everyone untied their woolen materials, it was already getting late, so Su Mu decided to go home.
"Don't you cut the pieces you picked?" Lin Qingfeng stared at the three pieces of wool with bright eyes.There is an old saying, "It is better to bully a pulsatilla than to bully a young man who is poor." The ancients sincerely do not deceive me.The little guy's luck is really good.
Of course, Lin Qingfeng still ignored Su Mu's fairy words earlier.
"I'll cut it myself when I get home." Just kidding, he still wants to use these emeralds to set up formations!
Among the three pieces of wool in his hand, one of them is five-color jadeite, high ice, and small in size. Su Mu is going to untie it and sell it for money. The standard of living in the imperial capital is really high.The other two pieces are colorless jadeite of glass type. These two pieces are not small in size. If Lin Qingfeng finds out, he won't need to sleep tonight.
Ever since he developed a new use of spiritual power, Su Mu has a soft spot for this colorless jadeite.
Su Mu is going to follow the example and use spiritual power to change the properties of jadeite.
That is to say, emerald is not a real spirit stone, and it is thousands of miles away from spirit stone, otherwise he really couldn't do it.Except for Yan Hao, no one knew Su Mu's plan.The six of them finally had a good meal outside, and they made a fortune today, of course they have to thank Su Xiaomu.
"Whose phone number?" Chen Pingan asked Su Mingjun who had just put away the phone.
"Wang Hao, he heard that we went to the ancient market to gamble on stones today, and he was envious and jealous." Su Mingjun laughed.
"Yes, hurry him to death!" Everyone laughed, very unloved by their colleagues.
The six people ate to their heart's content, it was already very late, and they sent Su Mu and Yan Hao back to the courtyard, and the four of them met in the nightclub for a leisurely return.
After watching the two cars leave, the two entered the gate.
