There was a public bank in the field that provided comprehensive services. There was a master in charge of cutting the stones. After cutting out the jade, he could help to polish and carve it, or he could just recycle it.
The public bank had the word "public" in it because it was owned by the public. There was no need to spend money there.
There were many entrances in the field, but there was usually only one public bank. Hence, there were many people queuing up to cut their stones. According to the rules, it was first come, first served. Even the president had to queue up with his stones.
It was still early, and there were not many people inside. Li Du counted about ten people and went in with Zhong Da Pao.
The atmosphere in the public bank was weird. Betting on a rise was usually a big win, but losing was a big loss. There were countless happy and sad scenes here every day.
Li Du had seen it that day. In front of him, there were people shouting, "Oh f * ck, Violet, go and set off the firecrackers. I want a hundred thousand firecrackers." At the back, there were people screaming, "No, how can it fail? Five million, it's all usury."
Hearing such words, Li Du shook his head and said, "Master Pao, the Chinese Village is going to have new people."
Zhong Da Pao looked at the stones in his hands nervously and said, "Who cares, we'll take care of them. They're all fellow countrymen, we can't just watch them die. But we can't care now, we have so many stones … "
"At least one of them will go up," Li Du said.
"Huh?" Zhong Da Pao was stunned.
Li Du said, "What's wrong? Six hundred thousand for more than ten stones. If one of them goes up, it might be six million. That's a good business. "
"Ah!" Zhong Da Pao was speechless.
Liu Zi was about to burst out. "D * mn, brother, you're really a genius. Do you think this is a lottery? Forget it, I won't say it. I thought so too at first. "
Li Du said, "What's wrong? Am I wrong? These stones are similar to the ones that the swindlers gave me a few days ago. How can they all be chickens? "
Zhong Da Pao smiled bitterly and said, "There's no chicken here, brother. This is not Damakan. This is Muna, from the old mine in Old Hpakant. It's considered a pretty good material in the market. It's famous for its bright and even green color, as well as its transparent and clear head. Among all the mines, Muna is the most perfect match."
"But …" Zhong Da Pao continued to smile bitterly. "There's a 'but' in everything. There's a reason why this thing is so good and so expensive. D * mn, it's too rare!"
"That's right. It's not even nine out of ten. It's more like ninety out of one hundred!" Liu Zi said gruffly.
Li Du looked at him in surprise. "What's the difference between betting nine out of ten and betting ninety out of a hundred?"
Liu Zi was stunned. He looked at Zhong Dapao and said, "Of course there's a difference, right?"
Zhong Da Pao said impatiently, "Alright, shut up. D * mn, are you here to act cute?"
"It's your turn. Hurry up," the person at the back of the line said hurriedly.
Unknowingly, the people in front had finished cutting. Those who had won ran out excitedly, while those who had lost were dragged out by the security guards.
Zhong Da Pao chose a stone and placed it on the table. The polishing master glanced at it and said, "Hey, Master Pao, Muna. You're here to participate again?"
Liu Zi said anxiously, "Old Biao, what are you talking about? Do it."
The polishing master lit a cigarette slowly and said, "Take a few puffs and take a break. We've been working all morning. Even if I don't take a break, I have to let the knife rest, right?"
They were obviously acquaintances. As he spoke, the master took out a cigarette and passed it to the two of them.
Zhong Da Pao took one, and Liu Zi took the rest.
The polishing master scolded, "What the f * ck. Mine is a Chunghwa. A customer gave it to me."
"You're still lacking cigarettes?" Liu Zi rolled his eyes at him.
Li Du patted the stone and said, "Cut it, brother. When it's out of the water, I'll get you a Chunghwa."
"Alright!" The polishing master took two deep puffs, and half of the cigarette was gone.
He spat out the cigarette butt and took the stone. "This Muna's stone has a very thick shell. This is a typical white salt sand shell. It's a thick material, and it's so small. I'm afraid nothing will come out of it. Why don't you open the door and take a look? "
"Open the door!"
The sharpening machine made an ear-piercing sound. The master skillfully ground out layers of stone powder.
The people behind stood on their tiptoes to watch. Soon, a fat man with big ears laughed in disdain. "F * ck, white salt sand shell. That's enough. Cut it off. There's not even a ghost inside."
Liu Zi glared at him and said, "If there's a ghost inside, who would dare to play with stones?"
The businessman did not dare to cause trouble. He laughed awkwardly and did not say anything. He waited patiently to watch the show.
The stone had been ground halfway, and there was nothing. It was almost a complete failure. Low laughter came from behind. Zhong Da Pao cursed angrily, "F * ck!"
This was not the time to continue grinding. The polishing master made a horizontal cut, and all that was revealed was stone. It was a complete failure.
"Again." Zhong Da Pao took out another stone.
The fat man behind was carrying a stone the size of a millstone. He said impatiently, "Stop grinding. Just cut it. What's the point of such a small thing?"
The polishing master continued grinding patiently. Unfortunately, the stone was broken.
Zhong Da Pao's lips trembled. "F * ck, again!"
He took out another stone from Godzilla's backpack. The people behind were in an uproar.
"F * ck, brother. Are you guys hired by the monkeys?" "How many stones is this? Take them all out! "" Are these small stones you picked up from the roadside? F * ck, I haven't even had breakfast. What are you talking about? "
Zhong Da Pao kept a straight face and did not say a word. He simply poured out all the stones in his backpack.
Seeing more than ten stones, the people behind almost screamed. The fat man with big ears exploded. "What a waste of my time. What's a small stone doing here? Get lost! "
The polishing master picked the largest stone and said, "Let's take this one. The skin is exquisite and looks very attractive. It's a typical color for high-quality goods. If it doesn't come out …"
He did not finish his sentence. He just shook his head. Everyone understood what he meant.
Zhong Da Pao was nervous. Liu Zi was nervous too. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
After grinding the stone, the polishing master sighed. "F * ck, Master Pao. You're so unlucky. It's broken again!"
"F * ck!" Zhong Da Pao slapped his thigh. His face was full of despair.
Li Du pushed out another stone. "What's the rush? There's still so many? Come, continue grinding. "
This time, it was the people behind who were in despair. Some people had already changed lines and gone to the other side.
The polishing master shook his head and changed his method. He scrubbed the stone instead of grinding it. It was faster this way. With one scrape, a large piece of stone was gone.
After one cut, the polishing master's eyes widened. "F * ck, Master Pao. It's gone!"
Zhong Da Pao, who had lost his wits, suddenly raised his head. "Ah?"
"It's gone!" The polishing master showed it to him after washing it. "Good head. It's definitely a high-grade ice type!"
Zhong Da Pao was ecstatic. "Ah!"
The polishing master said, "Think about it. Do you want to continue grinding it or sell it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, bro, sell it. I'll pay five hundred thousand for this stone." Someone in the back immediately made a ruckus.
