Chapter 137 137. What a great acting!
Getting started with stones was the beginning, and now having lost five million is indeed the end. What Xing Cai said is indeed correct.

But I don’t know what this sentence touched on Lao Pan’s sore spot. The man who was originally sitting on the ground in a daze suddenly looked up and glared at Xing Cai fiercely.

"Xing Cai! Don't think I don't know that you were the one who arranged that person that day! You deliberately let me hear those words!"

"What?" Xing Cai still pretended to be confused, "Old Pan, please don't go too far. I was helping you out of kindness, and this is how you framed me?"

"Haha, you are kind-hearted? If you really have good intentions, why would you deliberately let someone say those things in front of me? Don't think I don't know that person knows you! Xing Cai! I'm telling you, I will find that person sooner or later!"

After he finished speaking, Lao Pan stood up and punched Xingcai hard in the face, leaving a large red and swollen area, then turned and left.

Xing Cai looked at the receding figure, a hint of coldness and murderous intent flashed across his eyes, but soon he covered his face with his hands, grimaced in pain, and then slowly returned to his shop.

Lin Qian: "What a great acting!"

Jin Jiu glanced at her and thought she was mocking him.

Is this good acting?

If the acting was good, there wouldn't be so many flaws.

Although Fu Hong couldn't hear Lin Qian's words, she kept staring at Xing Cai as he entered the door. She couldn't help but sigh, "That guy is so pitiful. He's been tricked."

"It's not a tragedy, it's all my own choice." Lao Pan has come to where he is today because of his own efforts.

Fu Hong seemed to have heard something and looked in Jinjiu's direction with some curiosity.

Jin Jiu did not continue the topic, but said, "Let's go."

Although Fu Hong felt a little regretful for not being able to know more, she also kept her duty and did not ask more questions.

Because he had just wasted too much time, Jinjiu checked the raw stone much faster. He stopped after walking less than 20 meters.

"How much is this stone?" Jinjiu squatted down in front of a stall and asked the price without even taking a second look.

The stall owner's eyes flickered.

Anyone who can buy raw stones in this way is obviously a newcomer.

When facing newcomers, some people with conscience will not cheat them, those without conscience will cheat them in a small way, and those with no conscience will directly cheat them and cause the family to be ruined.

He is in the middle, with some small flaws, but definitely not many.

"Girl, you have a good eye. This piece is..." After the stall owner understood what she was thinking, he smiled and began to introduce Jinjiu.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jinjiu.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, just make an offer directly. I don't want anything higher than 200,000."

The smile on the stall owner's face froze.

How did she know that the original price of this stone was 190,000?

He originally wanted to offer 20% more, which would be around 230,000 yuan. Facing a normal newcomer, he was confident that he could persuade the other party to buy it at around 220,000 yuan.

but!

The guest in front of me doesn't play by the rules at all!
His smile froze for a few seconds before he said, "Girl, what you said is meaningless."

Jin Jiu didn't say anything, just stared at him.

The stall owner was getting nervous because of the stare. At this moment, a bold thought came to his mind: This guy might be an expert! But he didn't look like one.

This girl looks to be in her early twenties. Could it be possible that she was already involved in this circle when she was a minor?

"Girl, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I lost 200,000 yuan on this stone!"

Jin Jiu didn't want to listen to his nonsense and got up and left.

"Hey!" the stall owner shouted and everyone around him laughed.

"Okay, Old Li, it's obvious that he's an expert. He can see through your underwear at one glance." A stall owner nearby joked.

Old Li ignored her and just shouted, "Miss, don't leave! 190,000! 190,000 is really my bottom price!"

Jin Jiu paused and then turned around to pay.

This stone is not big, but stones are very heavy. A small piece weighs more than ten kilograms.

After paying, the stall owner smiled and said ingratiatingly: "Do you need a stone cutter? Although I'm selling things on the street, I know the owner of that shop. I can borrow their machine for free!"

The stall owner pointed to the shop behind him.

It was only at this time that Jinjiu and Fu Hong noticed that this stall was slightly different from the other stalls.

Although other stalls were also set up on both sides of the street, they all avoided the doors of the shops behind them. It is obvious that setting up stalls is okay, but setting up stalls in front of other people's shops, and if they are from the same industry, that is disgusting.

But since this stall owner was able to set up a stall in front of someone else's store and not be chased away, it would be modest to say that he knew him. The relationship between the two parties must be good.

"Okay, that's troublesome." Jin Jiu had indeed been thinking of finding a place to cut the stone first, because the things inside the stone were not what she wanted.

But this piece of raw stone is indeed the best in this area, so Jinjiu plans to buy it first. If he doesn’t find a better one later, he will use it for now.

If there is a better one, she will sell it. It happens that buying raw stones costs a lot of money. The money she has is not a small amount for ordinary people, but it is not much for stones that cost millions.

The stall owner enthusiastically brought the wine to a stone-breaking machine.

"Lao Luo, do me a favor, this lady bought a stone from my shop." The stall owner greeted him, and the stone-cutting master nodded and took the stone from Jinjiu's hand.

A stone weighing more than ten kilograms is not big, and it is easy to damage it with one cut with a knife, so the master decided to slowly rub it inside. Although this is a bit slower, it is not easy to cut the things inside.

But just as he was about to take action, Jinjiu stopped him.

"Wait, do you have a pen?"

Lao Luo and the stall owner were both stunned, and then the stall owner casually took out a pen from his shirt pocket.

Jin Jiu took the pen and the stone, and drew a few lines on the stone. Then he handed the stone to Lao Luo and pointed to the line on the stone and said, "Just cut according to this."

Lao Luo is an old hand with seven or eight years of experience in stone cutting.

He thought he had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen a customer like this who could draw the picture stroke by stroke, almost directly depicting the shape of the jade!
Not only had he never seen it, but the other onlookers who came upon hearing that stone was being cut had also never seen such a scene before.

Their eyes couldn't help but linger on Jinjiu, hoping to learn something from the way Jinjiu was dressed.

But Jinjiu was wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants, which looked like something that cost only a dozen yuan on a street stall. Besides, he was so young, let alone being able to tell the appearance of the jade inside, even whether he knew how to gamble on jade or whether he could find raw jade was a question.
