Boy, just wait and leave Xu Qing obediently!
Dong Yu looked at Ye Feng with pride. In a good mood, he felt that the sound of the gears cutting the raw stone didn't seem so harsh anymore.
"It's ruined! The bet is ruined!"
"What a pity, such a good piece of raw stone collapsed!"
"Nine out of ten times you lose when gambling on jade, it's true!"
But before he could feel proud for three seconds, a sigh suddenly sounded in the venue.
Collapse? How is that possible
Dong Yu was startled when he heard the voice, and looked down at the raw stone in astonishment.
As I glanced over, I saw that the stone powder floating out along the cuts made by the gears had turned from light green to white. Moreover, that white was not as delicate as jade powder, but as dry as stone powder.
The only explanation for this situation is that except for the skylight area, there is no jade in the original stone, only quartz crystals.
Crack!
Then, the two pieces of raw stones were cut into two halves by the gears and spread out on the ground.
"It's really broken!"
Although the water had not been poured yet, people in the field kept shaking their heads at the pale cross-section without a single bit of green.
When they had just opened the skylight, they thought that the chances of this raw stone increasing in value were extremely high, but no one had expected that the jade veins were only on the surface, a thin layer of only half a centimeter thick, and inside was all pale quartz.
"These are two big white flour cakes. Xiaoyu, you don't need to eat dinner tonight. Just use these to fill your stomach."
Seeing this, Ye Feng also laughed and teased Dong Yu, whose face was also pale.
Looking at the two pale raw stones, Dong Yu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said to Lu Dayou, "Keep cutting. I don't believe there is no green in these two halves!"
Hearing this, the people watching became anxious again.
Although the gamble was ruined by this cut, there is still a possibility that jade is hidden in the two halves.
Lu Dayou did not hesitate and continued cutting with the cutting machine!
After a series of "crunching" sounds, Dong Yu's heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley.
There were also huge sighs coming from the venue one after another.
After the two halves were cut, the result was no different. It was still pale quartz, without a trace of jade.
"Boss, there's no need to cut it anymore. There's no jade in this rough stone." Lu Dayou stared at the one-and-a-quarter rough stone, shook his head, and said, "The jade in the skylight can be made into four or five ring faces, but because it's green jade, its value won't be too high. It'd be good if it's worth two or three thousand."
Lu Dayou's words made Dong Yu feel like crying but without tears.
The raw stone he bought for two million was only worth two or three thousand yuan after it was cracked. Although he was not short of money, this lesson was a bit too much.
"Alas, a good piece of raw stone turned out to be a donkey dung egg with nothing inside..."
Ye Feng shook his head, touched his chin, then looked at Dong Yu with a smile and said, "It's true that people buy what kind of raw stones they like."
Dong Yu's face was gloomy. After staring at Ye Feng for a long time, he smiled grimly and said, "So what if I lose the bet? It's only two million. I can afford to lose! The jade material in my rough stone can be sold for at least two or three thousand. What about yours?"
Lu Dayou looked at Ye Feng worriedly, his eyes full of uneasiness.
No matter how bad Dong Yu's raw stone was, at least the jade at the skylight could be polished into a few ring faces; but Ye Feng's skylight was cracked and the quality was very poor, so it was estimated that no one would want it to be made into a ring face.
It is really hard to say who will win or lose in this game.
"It should be several times more expensive than yours..." Ye Feng shrugged, then bent down to pick up a piece of chalk, scratched the rough stone with his hand, and said to Lu Dayou: "Brother Lu, please help me cut it."
Lu Da nodded, and without saying anything about opening a skylight, he took the cutting machine and cut along the line.
If this piece of raw stone did not belong to Ye Feng, but to someone else, with his reputation in Yudu, he would not be qualified to work on such a raw stone himself.
Crunch... Crunch...
After a sharp sound, accompanied by the sound of the raw stone cracking, the onlookers in the venue sighed and shook their heads.
This piece of raw stone was the same as Dong Yu's. The cross-section was pale white, without any jade color.
“Hahaha, you’re nothing but this…” Dong Yu laughed upon seeing this, and said to Ye Feng in a cold voice: “I’m willing to accept the loss. I hope you can fulfill your promise and get away from Qingqing like a man!”
"It's not finished yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ye Feng shrugged, kicked the rough stone on the right, and said to Lu Dayou: "Brother Lu, help me open a skylight here."
“This broken stone still needs a skylight?”
"You're crazy about betting on price increases, right? This is the first time I've heard of someone opening a skylight in a section after a bet went wrong..."
When the crowd heard Ye Feng's words, they immediately shook their heads and complained in their hearts.
"Brother, there's no need to cut a hole in this thing. You'll know once you cut it open." Lu Dayou also advised. He really didn't think much of this rough stone. Whether it was cut or polished, it wouldn't make much difference.
"Betting on jade depends on luck..." Ye Feng smiled playfully and said, "This is called 'when things get dark in one place, they get dark in the other.' Maybe with a grinding wheel, we can polish out jade?"
This guy is quite humorous, he can even tell jokes at this time...
Lu Dayou smiled bitterly and shook his head, but still picked up the machine as he was told and gently wiped the cross-section.
Salad... A piece of stone flew up, and Lu Dayou's expression suddenly froze. He hurriedly moved the grinding wheel away, then scooped up a bucket of water and poured it on the skylight.
"It's gone up! I actually bet it's gone up!"
"Oh my god, it's still going up after all this, this is too weird!"
"The color of the skylight is pretty good, it's blue-white jade, and the oiliness is good too! Brother, sell me the stone for 30,000!"
After the water was poured, the cross-section appeared to have a shiny bluish-white color. Immediately, there was a loud shouting in the venue, and some people began to bid.
Not to mention these people, even Lu Dayou had a strange look on his face.
He has been working in the jade industry for some years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
"No, Brother Lu, keep wiping! Wipe the entire section!"
Ye Feng smiled triumphantly at Dong Yu, whose face was gray and ugly, and continued to speak to Lu Dayou.
Lu Da nodded and continued to rub the gear. The sound of rubbing continued and stone chips flew everywhere.
Collapse! It must collapse!
Dong Yu gathered all his strength and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the next time he wiped, a clear white would appear.
"Holy crap, the skylight is all blue, this is so awesome!"
"A golden phoenix flew out of the chicken coop. It's really like when all else fails, there's always someone to come to you!"
But as if to contradict him, as the sound of grinding ended and another bucket of water was poured on, the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
When Dong Yu heard the voice, he immediately looked over there. His heart sank as soon as he took a glance.
The palm-sized skylight that Lu Dayou had just polished out on the original stone revealed a glossy bluish-white color after being washed with water.
The entire piece of jade was connected without any flaws, and its performance was several levels higher than the raw stone he had just had before.
