"It's all offset by ores?" Lin Yichen was startled and said in surprise: "Master Ou, is this inappropriate?"
Ouyang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Why is it inappropriate?"
Lin Yichen smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ou, to be honest, these ores are of extraordinary quality, so just like the equipment, they must be sent to the city. However, this is not because I cherish my broomstick and am reluctant to sell it to the master. It's this The way to the ore is not simple. Before the stone is solved, even the gods cannot be sure whether there is really a gem in it! "
Although Ni Yinghong's face was pale, he was still advising at this moment: "Master Ou, what shopkeeper Lin said is true. It's okay to play with a few pieces of this kind of stone occasionally, but if you insist on doing so, you are putting the cart before the horse. Even if you have hundreds of millions of dollars, Wanjia’s wealth is not enough to squander!”
Ouyang Ming thought for a while and said, "Thank you both for your kindness, but this is my first time encountering raw gemstones, so I always have to play with it a little bit." After a pause, he said, "I'd like to ask the shopkeeper to help me."
Zheng Ziwen shook his head and said: "Master Ou, if you want to play with minerals, you might as well go to Fucheng in the future. There are better products there!" The implication of his words was that he still looked down upon the ores here.
However, Ouyang Ming shook his head slightly and said: "Let's talk about going to Fucheng. I am really impatient to see Hunter Xin happy."
Lin Yichen had no choice but to say: "Okay, since Master Ou insists on this, then... please choose thirteen pieces."
Based on Ouyang Ming's remuneration and rewards this time, he can only get ten rough stones. However, Lin Yichen had promised to give him three yuan, so Ouyang Ming refused.
With a slight nod, Ouyang Ming turned back into the ore pile and began to carefully select it.
Lin Yichen, on the other hand, invited Zheng Ziwen and Ni Yinghong, who were almost exhausted, out of the basement to rest. They all knew that if Ouyang Ming wanted to be satisfied, it would definitely not be over in one or two hours.
Ouyang Ming naturally didn't want anyone to supervise him. Once everyone left, he immediately speeded up.
When others inspect the original stone, they carefully observe the surface, texture, and shape of the stone. If there are one or two skin-breaking gaps, it will be the top priority of their research. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to distinguish the quality of a rough stone, and no one can guarantee that these efforts will work.
It is very possible that a group of master craftsmen got together and had a special liking for a certain piece of rough stone and were unanimously optimistic about it. However, when the stone was dissected, it was discovered that it was a worthless piece of raw ore.
And sometimes, from a piece of ore that no one cares about, an amazing and amazing gem can be found.
Therefore, when selecting ore, although experience is also very important, the most important thing is luck, that unrivaled good luck.
However, all this has nothing to do with Ouyang Ming.
His method of distinguishing rough stones is extremely simple, that is, just touch it with your hands and you can get a rough idea with the flash of weapons.
After spending a full hour in the basement, he touched all the stones.
I have to say that everyone in the IKEA Pavilion still has a bit of discernment. After touching around, Ouyang Ming really found a lot of bright spots. If you really go by the ratio, as long as there are eight or nine pieces of ore, you can basically unlock a gem.
Of course, the quality of the gems is unknown.
Ouyang Ming thought for a moment and selected the two ores that impressed him the most.
One of these two pieces of ore is full of vitality, while the other seems to be a deep black hole that cannot be filled no matter how much energy is invested.
Ouyang Ming had never encountered such a situation before, so he naturally had to pick them out.
Afterwards, he randomly found eleven pieces of ordinary ore that didn't have any unusual properties to replenish the amount.
Although he had the ability to pick out eleven pieces of valuable ore, if he really did that, even an idiot would know that there was something wrong with him.
Taking two out of thirteen pieces of ore would be a bit better luck, but it wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.
After picking the ore, Ouyang Ming rang the calling bell, and naturally a servant came down to carry the ore up.
Under Lin Yichen's arrangement, he also had a good sleep. When he woke up early the next morning, Ouyang Ming immediately felt refreshed and his body was back to its best condition again.
When Ni Yinghong and Zheng Ziwen appeared, their expressions had improved a lot, and at least a certain amount of color had returned to their faces.
Seeing the ore Ou Yangming selected, Zheng Ziwen smiled and said, "Master Ou, do you want to dissect the stone here? If you want, let's join in the fun!" He paused and said, "I believe. Master Ou will definitely gain something!”
Ouyang Ming said without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll borrow your good words."
They are all Lin Yichen's guests. With an order, someone will naturally bring them some stone tools.
These ores are not ordinary items and cannot be treated with too rough methods. If there were really gems inside and they hit it with a hammer, the consequences would be disastrous.
There are many kinds of stone-breaking tools, and in the hands of skilled people, different tools can be used to produce different effects.
Zheng Ziwen rubbed his hands and volunteered: "Master Ou, how about I help you?"
Ouyang Ming said in surprise: "Master Zheng is also interested in this?"
Zheng Ziwen chuckled and said: "I also played the stone gambling game in Fucheng, but my luck has never been very good, and I have never found any good gems!"
Ouyang Ming was startled and looked at him strangely. If he hadn't been sure that there must be some material in these ores, he would never have let him do it after hearing these words.
Zheng Ziwen was unaware of Ouyang Ming's attitude. He enthusiastically picked up the largest stone-breaking tool and said, "Which piece should I start with?"
Ouyang Ming twitched the corner of his mouth and picked up a piece of ordinary ore.
Zheng Ziwen took the ore and looked at it for a moment, nodded and said: "Master Ou has a good eye. The surface of this ore is very good. If you are lucky, you may be able to find something good!"
Ni Yinghong said coldly: "Yes, but what if you are unlucky?"
Zheng Ziwen was stunned for a moment and said: "If you are unlucky, naturally you won't be able to get anything good."
Ni Yinghong said: "Master Zheng, how is your luck?"
Zheng Ziwen was stunned and murmured speechlessly.
Ouyang Ming said quickly: "Haha, Master Zheng, forgive me, Master Ni is joking!" He urged: "Hurry up and do it."
Zheng Ziwen glanced at him gratefully and immediately started to take action. However, what he felt strange in his heart was why did this little witch always target him
The ore was quickly split into two in Zheng Ziwen's hands. However, Zheng Ziwen did not cut it off recklessly, but slowly. If he found any bright color in the middle, he would stop immediately. But it is a pity that until the ore is completely cut off, no strange color appears.
Ouyang Ming was well aware of this result and was not surprised at all.
Zheng Ziwen refused to give up and started using various tools one after another. However, no matter how hard he tried, the final outcome was already doomed.
Looking at the debris on the ground, Zheng Ziwen said apologetically: "Hey, such a good-quality ore can't be used to unlock gems. What a pity!"
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly, picked up the second piece of ore, and said, "Master Zheng, if you are interested, please continue."
Zheng Ziwen nodded heavily and continued to work. Everyone has seen that he is indeed very interested in solving stones.
Ni Yinghong stepped forward and whispered: "Master Ou, do you want another person to do the operation?"
Ouyang Ming shook his head without hesitation and said: "The thing is already here, and the result is already determined. It cannot be solved by changing someone. Haha, if the gem is really not found, it is just God's destiny that I do not have this kind of wealth. ”
Ni Yinghong was slightly startled and looked at Ouyang Ming with an even deeper look.
She has met countless people with huge wealth, and a mere two hundred taels of gold is basically nothing to those people. However, when those people stood next to the solution stone, their expressions changed all over the place. Even the most calm people would find it difficult to keep their emotions and anger out of their expressions. Moreover, no one can guarantee a stable mentality like Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming was able to have such courage at such a young age. When she had a big accident, she actually felt a sweet feeling deep in her heart. I really didn't misjudge the person.
The second piece of ore was quickly scrapped into crumbs in Zheng Ziwen's hands, but Ouyang Ming still handed over the third piece calmly.
With Zheng Ziwen's unremitting efforts, the fourth, fifth, sixth... and up to the tenth piece of ore also turned into waste.
At this time, no matter how thick-skinned Zheng Ziwen was, he put down the stone-clearing tool in embarrassment and said with an embarrassed look: "Master Ou, your luck today is really... bad..."
Ouyang Ming chuckled lightly and said: "Master Zheng said this, haha, there are not many left anyway, Master Zheng can help me untie another piece."
Zheng Ziwen said in surprise: "Master Ou, do you really want me to solve it?"
Ouyang Ming smiled and said: "That's natural." He handed over a piece of ore gracefully, as if he was handing out the first piece and not the eleventh piece.
Zheng Ziwen nodded deeply and said, "Master Ou, I am committed to your friend."
After this appraisal cooperation, Zheng Ziwen, who was almost exhausted to death, originally had a great prejudice against Ouyang Ming. But at this moment, all prejudices were completely reversed, and he regarded Ouyang Ming as a confidant.
After picking up the tool, Zheng Ziwen took a deep breath and focused his attention on the ore.
He used his most professional knowledge to quickly determine where the incision was and cut it.
And just after a few breaths, a ray of light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he exclaimed: "Yes..."
