Chapter 140. Cutting in line to break the stone
“How should we deal with these raw stones?”
"Send it to be untied." Jin Jiu borrowed a pen from someone and drew a few lines on the stone. "Cut it according to this. Go find Lao Luo. He has a pretty good stone-cutting technique."
Looking at the familiar painting method, Fu Hong was a little stunned.
She couldn't help but wonder if Jinjiu really had a pair of X-ray eyes. She could see what was inside the raw stone and even see the specific outline. Otherwise, how could she explain the current situation?
Not only Fu Hong was shocked, but Hong Yi was also shocked.
Hong Yi is the name of this bodyguard, and the other five are Hong Er, Hong San to Hong Liu.
Of course, this is definitely not their real name, but the name they use at work, which can barely be considered a "stage name."
Hong Yi saw the whole process of Jinjiu's stone being cut.
But unlike Fu Hong, Hong Yi had protected a young master who was particularly fond of gambling on stones before, so he naturally knew a lot about gambling on stones. Fu Hong let him take the raw stones because she knew this.
Of course, because Hong Yi knew some knowledge about gambling on jade, he knew how rare the ice type was, and he also knew how incredible it was to be able to directly draw the outline of the jade inside.
But because of his professional ethics, he said nothing and asked nothing. He just responded and then returned with the four raw stones to find Lao Luo.
When we got to Lao Luo, there were already a lot of people around him cutting stones.
This is quite normal. After all, those who gamble on jade are somewhat superstitious. Some people think that the stone cutter who has just cut a good jade will have good luck in the future, so they seize this time to find him to cut the jade, and maybe they can get good results.
So these people are here to try their luck.
Hong Yi looked at so many people and felt a little worried.
There are at least twelve or thirteen people here. Even if each person only has one piece of raw stone, it only takes ten minutes to cut it. This was done more than two hours later.
Just as he was thinking about calling Mr. Fu to ask if he wanted to change the location for stone cutting, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, brother, is this stone your own?" The man who came was the owner of the stall where Jinjiu bought the first piece of ice-type material.
His stall was nearby, so it was not surprising to see Hong Yi, but what was strange was why he greeted Hong Yi, after all, they didn't know each other.
"No, someone asked me to cut the stone." After a brief explanation, Hong Yi prepared to make a call.
But the stall owner didn't notice Hong Yi's busyness at all and continued talking to himself.
"Hey! That's right, is the owner of your stone a young girl wearing short-sleeved shirt and long pants?"
Hong Yi paused as he was about to dial the phone.
He looked at the stall owner carefully, and then recognized that he was the owner of the ice-type raw stones.
"Yes."
"Okay, okay, I told you, she's the only one who can cut the stone this way." The stall owner clapped his hands and laughed as he looked at the familiar strokes on the stone, which seemed to outline the contours of the jade.
This also explains why he knew that the stone belonged to Jinjiu.
All of this was determined by the lines that Jinjiu drew on the stone.
"Since you are here to dismantle the stone, follow me."
Hong Yi thought about it and followed the stall owner.
If he remembered correctly, this stall owner seemed to know Master Luo, who was involved in stone cutting. It would be great if he could get in through the back door.
The fact was just as Hong Yi thought, the stall owner was here to take him through the back door.
But he didn't have bad intentions. He simply saw familiar marks on the four stones. After confirming that the owner of the stones was Jinjiu, he wanted to see whether the real appearance of the four stones was exactly the same as what Jinjiu drew.
"Lao Luo, come here. I've brought a guest for you." "I'm busy. Can't you see I'm busy here?" Lao Luo waved his hand.
The stall owner didn't care and just leaned over to whisper a few words.
Lao Luo looked up in shock, and when he saw the stones on the cart, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"Okay, I'll solve these after I finish solving the one I'm on." After these words were spoken, the people waiting in line became a little unhappy.
"Hey, how can you do this? We are all waiting in line, how can you cut in line?"
"That's right, Lao Luo, you can't do this, or I won't come to your place to cut stones next time."
A few of the dozen or so people expressed their dissatisfaction.
Although the others who were silent did not say anything, it could be seen from the expressions on their faces that they were probably also very dissatisfied.
But Lao Luo didn't care. After all, there was no first come first served in stone cutting. Firstly, they didn't pay a deposit, and secondly, he was not familiar with them. He didn't make a living by cutting stones, so he had a salary.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come." Lao Luo snorted and took out the bean seeds in his hand.
Although it is the inferior bean variety, the price has increased because the raw material did not cost much and it is only ordinary material worth a few hundred yuan, so it is also considered an increase in price.
"Congratulations! The value has increased." Master Luo gave the cut stone to the owner of the jade, who was beaming with joy.
"As expected, the master who just produced the Ice Type is very lucky."
This sentence made the people waiting even more anxious.
Because they can't wait to break the stone as quickly as possible, they also hope to get something out of it.
Someone immediately shouted, "How dare you cut in line, you bastard? Don't you know how to queue? Are you going to live to see the end of the line?"
Hong Yi looked towards the person who spoke. His cold gaze made the other person tremble all over, and his arrogance immediately subsided.
Lao Luo was not happy about this either.
"Get out of here, everyone. I can cut the stone for anyone I want. Did I ask you to line up here? And you, what are you talking about? Do you think you will die if you don't try your luck?"
A few people couldn't stand Lao Luo's ridicule and left with dark faces, especially the one who had spoken rudely before. He had already run away, fearing that Hong Yi would rush over and beat him.
After all, Hong Yi looked tall and strong, with a murderous look.
Lao Luo looked at the rest of the people and continued, "A bunch of people who are here to try their luck are so arrogant. You know nothing. These four stones were sent by the lady who just cut the ice stone!"
"You want to take advantage of other people's luck, but you don't allow them to cut the stone first? If you want to cut the stone here, wait for me. If you don't want to wait, get out."
"what?"
Everyone was shocked.
They never imagined that these four stones actually belonged to Jinjiu.
However, when they learned who the owners of the four stones were, their dissatisfaction turned into curiosity.
They couldn't help but get closer to see the results of the stone cutting.
Lao Luo didn't care about them. As long as they didn't affect the stone cutting, he let them go and watch.
Lao Luo took out the smallest piece of rough stone, looked at the marks on it, and began to cut the stone skillfully. Soon, the first rough stone was cut out...
