Since Mingyue has selected some raw stones, of course the stone cutting master in the shop will cut them one by one.
Fortunately, there are several stone-cutting masters in Ziqidonglai, otherwise Mingyue would not be able to cut so many jade stones in a short time.
The guests downstairs, seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, had begun to pick out the stones they liked. However, when they heard that the divine hand had chosen another stone to open, they hurriedly dropped the stones in their hands and came over.
Not to mention whether you can buy the jade that has been cut, just seeing the jade being cut with your own eyes is an enjoyable process.
With this idea in mind, a group of people gathered in the stone-cutting area, almost blocking out the light of the stone-cutting masters. It was only after the shop assistants asked the guests to move away from them that the stone-cutting masters were satisfied.
However, the best stone-cutting master in Ziqidonglai is Master He, who ranks third in Wangnan City. It is said that the first two masters are privately raised by wealthy businessmen in the city, and they never cut stones for others.
So Mingyue deliberately took out the best piece of jade from Feishuang's mouth and placed it in front of Master He as if by accident.
This made Prince Chen, who had been paying attention to Mingyue, have a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Soon, the guests around were screaming:
"It came out, it came out green again, you are worthy of being a god's hand!"
"This is the seventh stone today, and it turned out green again. It's amazing."
"Young man, I will pay you to select the raw stones for me. If you don't get green jade, it's mine. If you get green jade, I will give you 20% of the price of the jade as a reward. What do you think?"
"I can do that too. Just pick the stones, brother. I'm willing to pay ten times the price for whatever you choose."
"I am willing to..."
"… "
As the stones under the hands of the stonecutters gradually turned green, the guests became more and more excited.
Although most of the jades that have been mined are of the glutinous and glutinous ice types, the fact that every stone produces jade is enough to make Mingyue sought after by everyone.
Even not long ago, several groups of people had secretly called servants to quietly inquire about Mingyue's identity and background.
If Mingyue had a strong background, they would naturally treat her with courtesy.
If Mingyue had no background, then of course it would be a different matter.
In this world, it is difficult to live freely if you have ability but no backing.
Mingyue naturally knew this, so she ignored the guests' words and instead focused her attention on the piece of jade that Master He was about to cut.
This stone is her stepping stone. I wonder if she can gain a reputation and seek protection from Prince Chen
At this moment, Prince Chen's full attention was on that stone. He had already noticed that the other stones were picked up casually by the man, and only the stone in Master He's hand was the one that the man wanted to open.
All the other stones are green, so this stone must be very special.
When Master He saw the look on Shi Tou's face, he almost opened his mouth to persuade him again, but when he thought about how he was rejected the previous times he tried to persuade him, he shut up again.
But there are several black spots on the surface of this stone. It is obvious that the jade mined is of incorrect color or poor quality, and there may even be cracks inside.
Master He thought about it and asked, "Sir, where do you want to start cutting this stone?"
Mingyue knew that this stone was unusual, but she didn't want to attract too much attention, so she pointed to the place where Feishuang said there was the least spiritual energy and said, "Let's start from here."
Master He nodded and started. After this part was opened, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. The green can be regarded as Yang green, but there are many black spots in it. Moreover, the quality of this jade is obviously dry white, with a rough texture, which is the worst quality.
Prince Chen's expression froze, with disappointment faintly revealed in his eyes. He felt that he might have overestimated this man.
Mingyue's expression remained unchanged. When Master He asked if she wanted to continue, she nodded without hesitation: "Please continue."
Master He had long discovered that the boy in front of him was an extremely conceited person. Once he had determined on something good, he would not give up until he got it completely.
But Master He makes his living from this, so he opens the door if the customer asks him to.
Master He casually turned the special cutting knife in his hand and slid it down towards the green on the stone. However, in just a moment, he couldn't help but stop, and the hand holding the knife was shaking uncontrollably. He subconsciously loosened his hand, and the cutting knife fell to the ground with a clang, causing everyone to look sideways.
Prince Chen, who was originally on the periphery, had already squeezed to the front.
Looking at the extremely rich and green imperial green that seemed to be almost oily, Prince Chen blinked with some difficulty, fearing that it was just an illusion.
The other guests wanted to laugh at Master He, a stone-cutting master who actually threw away his own food.
However, after seeing the glassy luster and the soft and gorgeous green jade, everyone was speechless in an instant.
After a moment, there was a sound of scrambling that reached the sky.
"Sir, please sell me this jade. I am willing to pay you 10,000 taels of silver."
"This is an imperial green that is rarely seen in a century. It is priceless. Are you going to give ten thousand taels of silver to a beggar? I will give you ten thousand taels of gold. Please sell it at a good price."
"My master is Master Pang from the west of the city. I have sent someone to inform the master. Please don't give up the jade for now."
"My boss is coming soon..."
Even though the jade had not been fully opened, when the onlookers saw the glass-type imperial green, they started bidding like crazy.
When Prince Chen saw that the man was actually interested, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Even he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He just needed a piece of top-quality jade, and when he felt sleepy, someone handed him a pillow, and someone in his own shop actually had a piece of jade.
This jade is of great use to him and his royal brother, and he cannot let it fall into the hands of others no matter what.
So Prince Chen didn't care about anything else. When the prices of others were getting higher and higher, he said loudly: "My master, Prince Chen, invites you to the third floor for a chat."
As soon as the name of Prince Chen came out, everyone else's faces changed color, and there was even more pain in their eyes when they looked at the jade. Everyone knew that they could not get the jade.
After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Prince Chen is not only a strong dragon but also a local snake. You must know that Wangnan City is his fiefdom and he is the local emperor here.
Mingyue's eyes lit up; the person she was waiting for had arrived.
She smiled slightly: "The prince has invited me, I dare not disobey."
