"Hurry up and watch, King Feicui is about to solve the puzzle with one slash!"
"Where? Where?"
"Right in front of Zhangji Processing Workshop!"
"What are you waiting for? Go quickly! Go quickly!"
……
A somewhat dilapidated antique jade street was filled with people rushing to and fro, and soon a group of excited and frantic people ran towards Zhangji Processing Workshop.
Gambling on rocks, solving rocks is always the most attractive.
In Zhangji Processing Workshop, Lin Yue looked at Wang Yidao in the crowd with a face full of envy, thinking that he would one day be like him, with a knife worth a thousand gold. This was just a dream for him, and he couldn't even be considered a gambler, but only a small stone polisher in Zhangji Processing Workshop.
He had failed to produce jade for thirty-one consecutive times, and this was originally a secret within the workshop. But somehow that damned person leaked it out, and as a result, everyone on Antique Street knew about Lin Yue's "one knife collapse". People who came to have their stones appraised would specifically ask not to let him touch their jade, fearing they would be infected with bad luck. Gamblers were generally very superstitious, so he became an unnecessary person, only able to watch from the side. For two months, he hadn't touched a single piece of rough stone. If he couldn't get rid of his "one knife collapse" reputation by producing jade, he would probably be fired from the workshop tomorrow.
Originally, King Wang thought he could take the opportunity to clear his name by letting himself solve the stone, but who would have thought that his good brother Wu Kairan would stab him in the back and tell King Wang about his nickname "One Knife Down". After learning this, King Wang's face changed immediately and refused to let him touch the stone.
Lin Yue lost his last chance to turn the tables, and he glared at Wu Kexuan, who was standing triumphantly in front of the stone-grinding machine, with a hatred that made his teeth ache.
Just as Lin Yue was about to make his move, Wang Yidao, the Jade King of fabrics, stood up from the crowd and picked up a fine pen beside him. He drew a line on the fabric and said confidently: "Cut it open with one knife from here!"
Wang Yidao's vigor won a burst of applause from the people around him. Surrounded by applause, Wang Yidao's face, which was over sixty years old, had a few more blushes, and he made a fist at the people around him, looking like he was enjoying the applause.
Wu Kaisen slowly adjusted the position of the stone saw blade, and after adjusting it well, he started the stone saw while glancing at Lin Yue outside the crowd with a subtle gaze.
"Damn it to hell!"
Lin Yue cursed in his heart, he knew that the other's glance was a show of intimidation and mockery.
Although he was thinking of giving up, Lin Yue still couldn't help but stretch his neck to take a peek inside. Gambling with stones was much more exciting than regular gambling, this one move could make you either rich or poor.
The stone cutter slowly fell, Wu Kai rotated it very carefully and operated with high precision, the saw blade perfectly matched the line that Wang Yidao had drawn earlier.
As the "zizi" sound of the saw blade rubbing against the stone stopped, the unsealing was also declared complete.
Now it's time to reveal the truth.
Is it poor or rich?
Lin Yue was nervous, but Wu Kaitian was even more nervous. The wool fabrics selected by King Feicui could all be solved, and he would not think about mixing in the future. However, Wang Yidao, who had experienced great storms in the jade industry, appeared very calm, perhaps he already knew how to hide his emotions.
To reveal the mystery requires Wang Yidao to take action himself, he walked steadily forward, opened the iron clip that fixed the wool, and then slowly stretched his hand towards the surface of the wool.
Sharp-eyed Lin Yue noticed that Wang Yidao's hand was shaking again, although slightly, but indeed shaking.
It seems that Feicui Wang's mental quality is not good either!
Lin Yue twitched his mouth, and the image of the legendary Jade King in his mind wavered slightly. Since entering this line, he had heard the most about the thrilling stories of the Jade Kings' gamble on stones, so he admired those Jade Kings very much and dreamed that one day he could become a generation of Jade Kings, knowing how impossible it was.
Every Jade King is an old man, the youngest one is over 50 years old. To become a Jade King, not only do you need to have rich experience in gambling on stones, but also have sharp eyesight and a comprehensive knowledge structure. None of these three points can be missing, Lin Yue doesn't possess any of them.
The peeled fur finally revealed its inside situation in front of everyone.
"This"
Everyone gasped in shock at the scene before them.
"It's solved!"
Someone suddenly shouted, and the crowd was like a boiling pot, with everyone's face revealing an excited expression. The probability of the gambling stone relieving swelling is less than one percent, unexpectedly they saw it today.
"Look at that wave, it's absolutely sufficient!"
"And what about that color, emerald green, a rare treasure indeed!"
"This is a good seed, an absolute ice seed, and it's even possible that it's a glass seed! What a top-quality jade!"
……
At this time everyone is commenting on the jade in front of them, sparing no praise, and also showing off how much they know.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Wang Yidao obviously let out a sigh of relief. Under the gaze of everyone, solving the stone for the Jade King was a very risky thing, and if it failed, it would have a huge impact on his reputation. Therefore, each Jade King generally did not solve the stone in public, but bought it back home to solve it himself. However, this time Wang Yidao had made a correct bet!
Lin Yue squeezed into the crowd and saw the true face of the jade through the gap. The crystal-clear jade showed at least one corner of the iceberg on its flat surface, but this one corner was already breathtaking, especially the green color among them, which made people's eyes shine brightly, with a feeling like being bathed in spring breeze. And that jade meat as transparent as ice cubes made people can't help but feel admiration.
Awesome!
Lin Yue was completely captivated by the jade in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim. He had been working in the processing workshop for two years, and it was the first time he saw a piece of jade with excellent water quality, species, and color. It's probably rare to see such a good piece of jade even on this old antique street!
Wang Yidao bowed and thanked everyone amidst the applause, then instructed his men to take away the wool.
The stone has been solved, and the people around have also dispersed. Many people went to gamble because they thought that since they saw the solution today, their luck must be very good, so they went to try their luck.
Wang Yidao patted Wu Kexuan's shoulder excitedly before leaving, then handed him a stack of red Mao Zedong banknotes as a red envelope, worth about 2,000 yuan. It was only natural to give the person who solved the case some money.
Wu Kaisen smiled and accepted it, saying something that made Wang Yidao very happy.
Lin Yue looked at Wu Kairui's flattering face with disdain, why didn't he realize that Wu Kairui was so despicable and contemptible before? He really didn't know people well!
Wu Kexuan escorted Wang Yidao to the door with a servile expression, then waved goodbye. The lowly appearance made Lin Yue almost unable to bear vomiting up all the food he had eaten that morning.
Wang Yidao walked away, Wu Kai returned to the workshop, proudly waving the money in his hand at Lin Yue, then said a sentence with his mouth, and burst out laughing.
Lin Yue's face turned iron-green with anger, he read Wu Kaisen's lip shape: "You can't do it!"
Small-minded people have achieved their goals!
Lin Yue let out a cold hum, he was one of the best at carving stones in the workshop. Wu Kairui had only been in the workshop for three months, following him around every day, so he taught Wu all his skills. But who would have thought that "teaching an apprentice would starve the master", just as soon as he finished teaching, the other person turned against him and didn't even recognize him, wanting to take his place.
Lin Yue now only needs one chance, a chance to vent his anger, and then he will ruthlessly trample Wu Kaitian underfoot, letting him know what it means to be unrepentant, and then kick him out!
But he was destined to wait in vain for that day.
Wu Kairuo accompanied a middle-aged man named Zhang Ge, who was about 35 years old and the boss of the processing workshop, to Lin Yue's presence.
Seeing two people, Lin Yue's heart suddenly jumped, a bad premonition surged throughout his body.
