These stones have been cleaned and their edges have been ground open, revealing the emerald green. However, their overall value can only be estimated after they are completely cut open and the inside is seen.

Qiao Jianer knew that Uncle Yin was testing her.

She didn't know how much information Uncle Yin had about her, but faced with such a situation, she couldn't pretend to know nothing, nor could she expose everything about herself.

Sometimes, the doctrine of the mean in Middle-earth is still very effective.

"Since my uncle has entrusted me with this, I will try my best," said Qiao Jianer.

"If I am wrong, please forgive me, Uncle Yin."

Uncle Yin looked at her calmly: "Miss Shui is very capable. I believe she is not likely to make a mistake."

His voice was not loud, but he was filled with a hidden murderous aura, and an irresistible pressure was approaching him.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Qiao Jianer smiled helplessly.

She stood up and approached the stones: "This one should be worth two thousand taels."

"This piece, this bit of jade should be floating jade. I'm afraid it's just an illusion and not worth much."

"For this one, eight hundred taels is too much."

"The last piece is probably worth more than three thousand taels."

She was very quick at identifying things, and Uncle Yin knew it, so she didn't pretend and just picked up the stone to examine it carefully.

"Water girl, are you sure?"

Qiao Jianer said, "My appraisals are about 50 to 60 percent accurate. If Uncle Yin holds on to 100 percent accuracy, he might be disappointed."

She had already learned that the stone appraisers here were those in their sixties or seventies who were very experienced. As long as they made a small mistake, they could achieve a 70% accuracy rate. However, such people only served big warlords and wealthy businessmen, and a caravan like Boss Zuo's could not be hired.

Uncle Yin seemed to think about it for a moment, then ordered someone to cut the stone.

These stones were taken away.

"Miss Shui, at such a young age, can get five or six out of ten right. That's incredible. Your appraisals don't require as much effort as those old masters. Could it be that you have a natural talent?"

"Talent does play a role. Identifying by feeling is more accurate than most people, but feeling is just a feeling. Even if I can tell whether a stone contains jade based on its appearance, the color and content cannot be seen with the naked eye, so the results will vary somewhat."

Uncle Yin seemed to be lost in thought.

This girl looks honest and seems to have said everything. But a teenager, even if she has some tricks, they are not many. It is impossible for her to act so smoothly.

Uncle Yin made his judgment based on his decades of experience, so it makes sense for him to think this way.

But he didn't know that Qiao Jian'er also had a soul in its thirties inside.

Soon, the cut stones were brought in.

"Uncle Yin, please look."

Uncle Yin has a very good memory. He remembers every stone and what appraisal Miss Shui gave him.

The stone was appraised to be worth two thousand taels, but its value fluctuated between two thousand five hundred and two thousand six hundred taels. There is a slight difference, but it is not very big.

It is said that the stone is completely worthless, but in fact it is worth three hundred taels after being cut.

The piece that is worth at most eight hundred taels has a thousand taels.

The last piece is less than three thousand taels, at most two thousand two hundred taels.

It is more in line with what Miss Shui said, with an accuracy rate of 50% to 60%.

Uncle Yin was silent.

He didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.

This girl is useful, but not very useful. We can only say that she has a higher probability of choosing valuable stones, but she cannot even estimate the value accurately, and there is a certain deviation.

The stones selected for Boss Zuo should only be judged to contain a relatively high amount of jade and be above a certain quality level.

This can also be done by experienced appraisal masters.

Uncle Yin was finally relieved.

If the other party picked up all the valuable raw stones, how could he continue to do business with others? He was afraid that others would suspect that he was just filling in the gaps.

Uncle Yin suddenly slapped the table and laughed, "It really is a 50-60% accuracy rate. Miss Shui is right. At your age, being able to judge 50-60% is already very remarkable. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Qiao Jian'er noticed a sense of relief in the other person's laughter, and she knew that she had barely passed.

After leaving Uncle Yin’s warehouse area, Qiao Jianer breathed a sigh of relief.

Places like this are full of interests, surrounded by wolves and tigers. When she takes over the mountain, she will need a strong army to garrison there so that she can protect the mine.

But Suo followed out.

"Miss Shui, I hope I didn't scare you."

Qiao Jianer shook her head: "I'm new here, so it's normal for Uncle Yin to be worried about me."

But Suo hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, he whispered: "Uncle Yin, there are other warlords who killed many people. They killed people without blinking an eye when they were not satisfied. Miss Shui, you should be careful. If there is nothing else, you should leave here quickly."

He knew that Qiao Jianer still wanted to see the hilltops. Not to mention that all the valuable hilltops within a hundred miles were occupied, even if a treasure mine was discovered, those warlords and wealthy businessmen would swarm over like leeches. How could two weak men possibly defend it?

Qiao Jianer said, "Dansuo, you are a good person, but I can't leave yet. If anyone asks, just say I'm waiting for the caravan here. I serve more than just one caravan."

Because Dansuo was often with them, someone must have asked about their whereabouts and purpose through him. In order to avoid embarrassing him, she told him the response wording in advance.

"Okay, Miss Shui, I'll convey whatever you say."

There was nothing to do with Danso today, so he let Danso go back to his home.

Then Qiao Jianer found a place away from people's sight and went directly to the continuous mines.

She would conduct a careful survey to determine the approximate value of the mine.

After further investigation, it was discovered that in the area where the geology was originally extremely complex, there were some gems hidden, which were of great value.

Generally speaking, jadeite and gemstones will not appear in the same mining area. The formation of gemstones requires high temperature conditions, while jadeite requires low temperature conditions. However, under extreme conditions, such as high-pressure metamorphism and hydrothermal activities occurring in the same area, these two precious minerals can coexist.

Qiao Jianer saw that the gems were increasing towards the mountains behind, and he had a guess in his mind.

She landed on the mountain range at the back, and sure enough, the two mountains connected to the front mountain had more gems, mainly rubies and sapphires, which even accounted for half of the total content.

Qiao Jianer was overjoyed. He opened his arms and fell asleep on the mountain with a smile on his lips.

"These three mountains are rich in mineral resources. They not only have jadeite rough stones, but also rubies and emeralds."

"As long as I can take over these hills, I won't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life."
