Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Gambling on stones is actually not fun at all, and can even be quite dirty. A group of ragged people were picking through a pile of dirty stones, looking around with a small flashlight, hoping to see some clues from the appearance as evidence of jade.

This process is actually a process of constant psychological self-denial and strengthening. No one can completely calmly judge all the information obtained. Therefore, the difference between choosing casually after making a rough judgment and choosing carefully is so small that it can be ignored.

The so-called experts are actually geologists or mineralogists who judge mineral veins based on stratigraphic divisions and the age of the surface. When it comes to every stone, even a senior mineralogist will be confused. As for experts in betting on stones, they are similar to experts in buying lottery tickets. If you believe it, you have it, but if you don't, you don't.

Wang Xu is actually cheating. He has done this in other worlds, but each world is different, so the information feedback from the inner energy is also different.

So he touched the stone first and then stopped. After seeing the results of other people's purchases, he could analyze the specific meaning of the information.

He has done some homework in jewelry stores before, and now he has a general idea and a direction of what is good. As for those details, the information feedback cannot be so detailed, unless there is a big break or the like, then it can only rely on luck.

Therefore, Wang Xu will not gamble on rough stones that are too expensive, because he is not a gambler in essence. He is an engineering student. He only believes in logical judgment after aggregating information and makes a decision on whether to buy based on probability.

Wang Fei came to this kind of place for the first time, so she was very interested in seeing it. From time to time she even cheered for the success of stone cutting, which showed the mentality of a little girl.

Recently, Wang Fei has begun to tend to develop into a younger child. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Wang Xu muttered a little, but there is no reference for this from the experience of later generations. He can know a little bit about Wang Fei in front of others, and who knows about Wang Fei in front of others. Anyway, he still likes this one.

"Why don't you buy it?"

"Look again"

"There is a seat over there, let's go sit there and watch."

"good"

Wang Fei pulled Wang Xu out of the crowded area. There was a teahouse next to it, which was actually prepared for the bosses who came to buy.

The boss of Gambling Stone saw the two of them coming here dressed neatly, and thought they were here to collect the finished products. Seeing the two of them coming, he quickly asked them to sit down and rest.

If you collect the stones directly here, five points will be pumped to the consignor. This point is paid by the jade buyer. Because the owner of the goods is often also responsible for tedious matters such as guarantee, security, and consignment, the person who comes to collect the stones is also willing to pay the money.

Anyway, if you don't like it, just don't accept it. For the consignor, only the stones can be cut if the money and goods are clear. The stone masonry consignor only earns a service fee. The subsequent business is other people's business, and the owner of the goods does not have to guarantee your business.

In short, the donors who come to collect stones are the donors who come to give money. They not only give money, but also bring popularity. If someone comes to receive the goods, more people will come to bet on the stones. This is a mutually beneficial business, and only those who lose from gambling will lose.

When the two of them sat down, they discovered that there were three tea tables in this teahouse area. There were already two people sitting at another table. They were wearing shirts and trousers on a hot day. There was no air conditioning here, so it was so hot that the two of them couldn't stop fanning themselves.

When the two saw a new person coming, they thought they were traveling together and couldn't help but stop their fans to look at Wang Xu and Wang Xu.

"Why do I think that girl looks so familiar?"

"It seems so. Unfortunately, I'm wearing sunglasses and can't see clearly. Is it some celebrity? From Mainland China?"

"It's definitely not a mainland star. How do I know a mainland star? Has any star come to the mainland recently?"

“I haven’t heard of it.”

The two of them spoke in Cantonese, and of course Wang Fei understood it and knew that they doubted her. Wang Xu actually understands, but he sees through it without saying it. There is no need to tell everyone that I can speak Cantonese.

This is the imperial capital, so even if she recognizes her, it's no big deal. Wang Fei doesn't care. She doesn't mind the exposure of her love affair in Xiangjiang, let alone in the imperial capital.

Wang Xu glanced at the two Xiangjiang boys and stopped paying attention. He judged that these two people were not bosses, but were working on errands. After all, collecting rocks in such a small place did not require the boss to come in person.

Almost an hour later, five or six people had already cut the stones, and they all collapsed. A few buyers were frustrated and lamenting, but that was all.

The stones here are not cheap, ranging from RMB 100 to RMB 1,000. In terms of weight, the stones are priced at RMB 100 each, but several people are selling stones of RMB 100 each, and they are all very small.

However, these stones gave Wang Xu enough information. He already had accurate information about jade, but he was not sure about the stones outside.

Now that the continuous falling stones gave him enough basis for judgment, Wang Xu decided to take action.

Wang Xu stood up and took Wang Fei to the pile of stones. He touched this and that, and found a few stones that gave him a special feeling. He called the workers and moved the stones out.

The stones are not big, the largest one is no more than the size of a human head, and the smaller one is only the size of a fist.

After accounting for 8 stones, a total of 1,800 stones was counted. Among them, there are 2 pieces of 100, 1 piece of 500, and the remaining 200 and 300.

Wang Xu took out banknotes from his bag to pay the bill. There were no mobile phone payments in these days, so cash was king. It seems that bosses in this era had to carry a handbag with them, otherwise they would have no place to put money.

In this era, when visiting places like Liulichang, you must either use a satchel or a waist bag. Never use a backpack. If you use it, you have to use it backwards and hold it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to walk the entire street, and the money in your bag will be gone.

Wang Xu used a satchel, and the backpack strap was made very short. This ensured that the bag was on his waist and could be pressed with his hands at all times. This saved him from having his bag scratched, losing money, or damaging it.

After the money and goods were clear, Wang Xu commissioned a master to cut the stones. Small stones cost 5 yuan a cut, and large stones cost 10 yuan a cut. They were not cheap anyway.

Wang Xu picked a small one, sensed it, drew a line with a red pen, and the stone cutter fixed the stone and started cutting.

The process of cutting stones was lackluster, especially the harsh sound that made Wang Xu very uncomfortable, but he had to watch from the sidelines. There are all kinds of people these days. If you don't watch, you won't be able to deal with someone else's mistake.

Wang Fei seemed to not be able to hear the sound, so she moved closer out of curiosity. Wang Xu was so frightened that he quickly pulled her back behind him.

"Don't get so close. There might be pebbles popping out and getting into your eyes. Let's just watch from a distance."

"Oh oh oh, I understand." Wang Fei immediately understood the danger and stopped moving forward. However, she was still curious about what would happen if she cut the stone this time. She poked her head behind Wang Xu, as if she could figure it out in this way. Similar.

The stone was small and it was cut quickly. Within a minute, I heard the master shouting:

"It's green"

When Wang Xu heard this, he quickly pulled Wang Fei over.

"Going green? It's the first piece today, let's go take a look."

People around who were still picking stones also stopped what they were doing and gathered around the stone cutting area.

Wang Xu protected Wang Fei in front of him and stood at the end of the crowd, carefully looking at the half stone still on the machine.

It's green, but the color isn't great and the texture looks average. It must be considered an increase, after all, it costs 100 yuan to buy something, but whether this kind of thing sells depends on luck.

The people around looked at it and couldn't help but shake their heads. That's it, let it go, let it go.

The stone-cutting master was probably not an experienced person, otherwise Midori would not have been worthy of shouting in this situation. As a result, he attracted so many people, made him blush, and had to take off the stone in a bit of a hurry.

Wang Xu reached out to take the stone, found a sack, and threw it in casually. This kind of stuff can usually only be thrown into the warehouse to gather dust, and then be sold to a certain jade dealer one day when you have enough.

This piece, according to ordinary people, is actually a loss, but Wang Xu actually has other plans, but for now he should just eat ashes.
