Traveling through 70's wine

Yang Jiesheng brought another 50 yuan this time, plus the 50 yuan that he had not spent last time, the two of them had a total of 100 million yuan. Early the next morning, the two went to Jade Street, and there were already quite a few people waiting in front of the first store.

At 9 o'clock, the store door opened and a man in his 50s came out. He stood at the door and said loudly: "Thank you all for your support. Our store has imported a batch of raw stones from Tanka. Today, we will officially sell them. Welcome to our store to buy."

Everyone filed in. The floor of the shop was filled with stones. The stones were marked and a price list was posted at the weighing area. This time they were divided into five grades: red 1000 yuan per kilogram, yellow 3000 yuan per kilogram, green 5000 yuan per kilogram, blue 8000 yuan per kilogram, and purple 1 yuan per kilogram. There were the most green and blue marked stones, and the least purple.

There were too many people coming today and the store did not provide flashlights, so Wen Qing and Yang Jiesheng split up and took out the flashlights and magnifying glasses they had prepared and began to select the raw stones.

Other customers also divided into groups of 2 or 3 to select stones, but everyone spoke in a low voice so as not to let others know their opinions.

Next to a pile of red-labeled raw stones, Wen Qing was searching for them and found a nice gray-black stone, but she was a step too slow and someone else picked it up first. She then picked up another stone at hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and put it in her basket.

When the man saw Wen Qing took another raw stone, he carefully examined the raw stone in his hand, but found nothing worth seeing. He put down the stone in his hand, stood up and left.

Wen Qing waited until he walked away before picking up the raw stone. At first, the man thought that Wen Qing liked this stone, so he took the lead. Later, when he saw that Wen Qing chose another stone, he thought he had made a mistake, so he gave up.

This is a gray-black stone with a large streak across the surface. Generally speaking, if there are streaks on a stone, there may be cracks inside the stone, which will affect the quality of the jade even if there is jade inside.

But Wen Qing felt that the stone was big enough and even if it cracked, the impact would be limited. After looking at it for a while, she decisively put it into her basket and put the stone that had been used as a cover back.

Wen Qing picked up another red-label raw stone with a grayish-white surface and no other characteristics. Then she went to the yellow-label area to select two pieces, the green-label area to select three pieces, the blue-label area to select one piece, and did not select any pieces in the purple-label area, mainly because she thought they were too expensive.

It was almost noon, and Yang Jiesheng also selected four raw stones to meet Wen Qing. Wen Qing looked at the raw stones he selected, there were two with yellow labels, one with green label, and one with blue label, and he did not select any with purple label.

The two of them selected a total of 12 rough stones and paid the bill. There were two red-label stones totaling 58 kilograms and costing 5.8 yuan, four yellow-label stones totaling 83 kilograms and costing 24.9 yuan, four green-label stones totaling 4 kilograms and costing 78 yuan, and two blue-label stones totaling 39 kilograms and costing 2 yuan, a total of 46 yuan, which was slightly over the budget. Wen Qing took out another 36.8 yuan, paid the money, and loaded the rough stones onto the cart.

There were a few people like Wen Qing who spent millions. The two were taken to the backyard, and the waiter pointed to a pile of rough stones and said, "You two have spent more than a million. Our boss decided to give you three rough stones. Please choose your own."

Wen Qing saw two other people also choosing, and knew that this was the owner's way of promoting sales. If there was no jade in the box later, no one would blame the boss.

Yang Jiesheng brought a cart with 12 raw stones to the raw stones. Most of the raw stones were red and yellow labeled, with a small number of green labeled, probably the ones left over from last time.

The two people pointed at the green-labeled raw stones for selection. Yang Jiesheng thought Wen Qing was luckier, so he let her choose all three. Wen Qing did not refuse and asked Yang Jiesheng to take care of the cart while she took a flashlight and started to select.

There were not too many raw stones in this pile, only about 3 or 40 pieces, and they were all small. Wen Qing looked at the larger stones first, but didn't find anything particularly suitable, so she looked at the smaller ones. The clerk watched Wen Qing turn over all the stones before selecting three.

I took them to a stone-cutting place. There were more people coming for stone-cutting today. The clerk saw that they bought a lot, so he took them into a room where there was a stone-cutting machine. He asked them to wait for a moment and went out to call someone in.

The clerk said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. Now let Master Xie help you cut the stone. If you need anything, come out and call me." After saying that, he left.

Master Xie asked: "Excuse me, sir, have you solved all of them?"

Yang Jiesheng took out a piece of green label rough stone that he had selected and instructed: "Let's solve this one first."

Master Xie fixed the stone on the stone cutter and asked how to draw the line as usual. Wen Qing drew the line, and Master Xie nodded and cut along the line.

The first cut didn't cut anything, so Wen Qing drew another line. It was still stone when she cut further. Wen Qing didn't draw any more lines, and let Master Xie just watch her cut. In the end, the stone was cut into pieces, and there was no jade. It was obvious that the stone was cut badly.

Yang Jiesheng took out another piece of green-label raw stone selected by Wen Qing, and marked and cut the stone as usual, but there was nothing. Master Xie was a little tired after cutting two pieces in a row, so he put down the machine and went out to rest. Wen Qing took out a piece of raw stone that was given to her as a gift and started cutting it herself.

With one cut, a piece of stone was cut off. Wen Qing poured water to wash away the dust on the stone. A hint of light green could be seen faintly under the white stone. Wen Qing changed the place to cut. As the stone was not big, it was quickly cut. It turned out to be a piece of jadeite with green and blue, called Qingshui, with full water content.

Wen Qing handed the jadeite to Yang Jiesheng to put away, and then took out a piece of blue label raw stone she had chosen, cut along the edge of the stone, removed the stone skin, and a touch of emerald green was revealed. Wen Qing cut all around along the stone skin, and a complete piece of jadeite was revealed. It was high ice type and emerald, absolutely priceless. Yang Jiesheng took it and put it in his backpack immediately.

Wen Qing gathered the gravel on the ground. At this time, Master Xie came in and saw the two standing there. He said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Which piece shall we cut?"

Wen Qing took out a piece of green jade. Master Xie asked Wen Qing to draw lines on it, make a few cuts, and wash away the dust with water, revealing a hint of light green. Master Xie was excited, and soon a piece of light green jade weighing about 16 or 7 kilograms appeared.

Yang Jiesheng took the jade and looked at it carefully. It was like a piece of ice with a tender green color revealing through it. He put the jade away and picked up a piece of yellow-label rough stone from the cart. This piece of rough stone was also cut.

Master Xie cut two pieces and took a break. Wen Qing took the opportunity to cut two more green-label raw stones and cut out two pieces of jadeite. Master Xie came back and cut two more pieces. He cut out a piece of yellow jadeite from a blue-label raw stone. The color was chicken-fat yellow, which was very rare. This time, jadeite was cut out from both blue-label raw stones, and the other one was cut badly.

In this way, Wen Qing cut 5 pieces and produced 4 pieces of jade, Master Xie cut 5 pieces and produced 3 pieces of jade, and there were still 5 pieces of raw stones left in the cart.

Master Xie cut out 3 pieces of jade, and the increase rate was relatively high, which attracted customers from the outer room to watch the fun. Yang Jiesheng gave Master Xie a tip of 100 yuan and took Wen Qing out of the yard.

The two walked back to the hotel. Wen Qing closed the door, walked to the window, slightly opened the curtains, and found three men standing downstairs looking up.

She waved to Yang Jiesheng to come over and take a look. The people downstairs noticed that they were standing by the window looking down and immediately turned around and left.

Yang Jiesheng was quite nervous and asked, "Ah Wen, are we being targeted?"

Wen Qing nodded, "Don't worry, they're gone."
