134 Arenât the Materials Here? (3)
When the young shop assistant heard this, he was afraid that the big client in front of him would run away. He quickly said, âSir, youâre really good at joking! Isnât this how stone gambling is? The cheaper the stone, the harder it is to get a good package! However, I see that you have a noble expression. Itâs very likely that youâll get something good from the stone that you picked!â
The young man said auspicious words with all his might. He could not let a small business worth 50,000 yuan slip away for nothing!
Liu Yun looked disdainful and reluctantly took out his card to pay.
However, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, 50,000 yuan was more reasonable. Even if he lost money, it would not be a big loss.
!!
Holding the raw stone in his hand, Liu Yun saw Ye Xuan walking over with Liu Yanran and the rest.
Liu Yun proudly waved the stone in his hand at Ye Xuan. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the shop assistant ask him, âSir, do you want to open your raw stone?â
âOf course I want to open it! But wait a moment. My friend is also coming,â said Liu Yun without hesitation.
Ye Xuan and the others followed Liu Yun into the backyard of the shop.
There were a few cutting machines for guests.
Liu Yun raised his hand and beckoned the shop assistant over. He said to him, âFind me an experienced master to cut this for me!â
The young man replied enthusiastically, âAlright, donât worry! Thereâs no one around now. Iâll get the most experienced master in our shop to cut it for you. How about that?â
With that, the young shop assistant ran to the back and called for his master. Zhao Yuan took the raw stone from Liu Yun and took out a strong flashlight that he carried casually. He shone it at a few spots on the raw stone and frowned. âYour raw stone doesnât look like it has any light at all. It doesnât look good!â
A few guests who were picking stones at the side heard Zhao Yuanâs words and spoke.
âThe surface of your raw stone is too thick! I can tell that youâre a newbie. Otherwise, why would you pick such a stone?â
âThatâs right. Look at this stone. Itâs so dirty that itâs about to grow moss! Itâs obvious that itâs been exposed to the sun and wind outside for a long time. The shop owner canât be bothered to clean it up.â
âSigh, young man, sometimes you have to pay a high price for stone gambling! You bought this stone for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, right? Looks like youâre going to waste it!â
Many people beside him were saying that it was not good. Liu Yun also became worried.
However, since he had already bought it, Liu Yun made up his mind and said to the old master who walked over, âJust watch and cut it for me. Whether it succeeds or not, itâs fine!â
The old master had been working in the shop for many years and had seen such a situation, where the customer gritted his teeth and spoke, countless times. He smiled and said, âAlright, donât worry. Iâll definitely cut it well for you!â
Seeing that someone was about to cut the stone, the customers who had just spoken surrounded him, wanting to watch the show.
âYoung man, where do you plan to cut it?â The old master wiped the raw stone clean and asked Liu Yun.
Liu Yun did not understand. He was still hesitating when the surrounding guests spoke bluntly.
âHaha, if you ask me, it must be cut in the middle! Look at your raw stone. Itâs so ordinary!â
âThatâs right! I wanted to say that too! If you cut it from the side, it would be a waste of other peopleâs skills and electricity fees!â
âAiya, donât say that! Heâs a newbie, so he definitely wonât understand. Why should we break his fantasy? Hahaha!â
Previously, Liu Yun was still a little worried, but these peopleâs mocking words made him furious.
After all, Brother Ye had chosen it for him. It didnât matter whether he was successful or not. It was his business. Did he need these people to talk nonsense?
After being provoked by these people, Liu Yun said to the old master, âPlease cut it for me from the side! If itâs really a waste of your craftsmanship and electricity, Iâll pay for it myself!â
Damn it, who were they looking down on?!
He wasnât short of money. At most, he would make up for it himself!
When the guests saw Liu Yunâs rich appearance, they simply snorted and stopped talking.
They did not leave. They just stood there, waiting to see Liu Yun embarrass himself.
Liu Yun looked at Ye Xuan, who was beside him, and said angrily, âBrother Ye, donât worry. I believe in your taste. Thereâs definitely nothing wrong with your choice!â
This was really infuriating. These peopleâs mouths were too cheap!
When the guests heard Liu Yunâs words, they looked at each other and burst into shocking laughter.
âHaha! I was wondering why he chose such a bad stone. It turns out that he listened to the little kidâs suggestion!â
âI heard in the past that when gamblers lose, itâs easy for them to find a random person to help them change their luck. I didnât expect him to get a child to pray for luck as soon as he started buying!â
âIâm dying of laughter. What can a seven or eight-year-old child do? I think this young man is crazy!â
Just as they were mocking Liu Yun, the old master had already turned on the cutting machine.
The rumbling noise instantly drowned out their mockery.
Everyoneâs eyes were fixed on the old masterâs hands.
The old master was skilled. He found the most irregular stone surface and cut it.
With a loud noise, the stone was quickly cut open.
The old master caught it steadily and was simply stunned when he saw the purple color.
Everyone also widened their eyes in disbelief.
Such purple and watery jade was top-grade!
Those customers had long forgotten what they had just said. When they saw the top-grade item, their eyes were about to turn red.
Zhao Yuan and Liu Yanran were also stunned.
Zhao Yuan was so excited that his lips were trembling. He felt indescribable regret!
