Even if she is not a member of the stone betting circle, Liu Fang knows that once a raw jade stone is labeled as top-quality, it means that it has been out of production for a long time.
Everyone knows that rare things are valuable. One stone is a big deal, let alone nine.
Ye Qing glanced at her, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People who gamble in stone circles are superstitious about old pit stones, because once the old pit stones come out of jade, they are high-grade jade, and they are more worthy of bets than new pit stones.
However, not every rough stone in Laokeng can be cut into emeralds. Even in Laokeng, nine out of ten bets will be lost. The new openings can only be described as horrific. "
"What about these nine stones!" Liu Fang asked curiously: "Could it be that nine out of ten bets result in losses?"
Ye Qing nodded affirmatively and looked at the nine stones one by one under the light: "The stones are all good, but there is only one that can cut high-grade jadeite."
When Liu Fang saw him playing with a flat stone, she looked like she couldn't put it down.
But this stone is the smallest of the nine rough stones, estimated to be only eight or nine kilograms.
He said suspiciously: "How did you tell that there is jade in this stone?"
"When you perform surgery, how do you know what is under the skin and what knife to use to cut it?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
"Because I have dissected the human body." Liu Fang said sternly: "So, for every operation, where to cut, what kind of skin and flesh appears, and what kind of scalpel is used, a complete set of procedures has been formed."
"To paraphrase a saying from the oil seller, only the hands are familiar. In fact, the same is true for gambling on stones."
Ye Qing pointed at the yellow stone. The gravel looked light purple under the light, and then there was a white python belt, which was rugged and twisted, running through the entire stone:
"Stones don't lie. They have already left traces on the stone shell. As long as you understand these traces, you can roughly deduce how much jadeite and what kind of water color can be found in this stone."
“So, it’s all people who lie!”
Ye Qing smiled and nodded: "In order to make huge profits, the owner of the stone gambling shop can tell lies with his eyes open. He is obviously Damakan, but he can say that he is Lao Pagan.
This is because the price of raw jadeite produced in Damakan is dozens of times higher than that of Laokengpagan.
Moreover, Damakan's yellow sandpipe and Lao Pagan's yellow salt sand suddenly look similar. Even experienced people have to take medicine, and novices can't tell the difference.
Only a true expert can tell which gravel comes from the entrance of the field based on whether it is a mountain stone or a water stone. "
Ye Qing took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the nine stones, and then sent it via WeChat.
A moment later, the phone rang.
"Master, you are not asleep yet!"
Wen Yuanshan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "Where did these nine stones come from?"
"Zhao Delong owes me a debt. Ma Wei caught his son Zhao Biao today and paid off the debt with these nine stones." Ye Qing briefly explained the matter.
Wen Yuanshan sighed: "Zhao Delong is dead, and the clues are gone."
"What's the meaning!"
Wen Yuanshan affirmed: "These nine rough stones were all bought by Chen Juncai and me from Sangji."
"No!" Ye Qing was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "There are millions of stones in the world, and after so many years, how could you possibly recognize them?"
Wen Yuanshan snorted coldly: "Lao Pagan's yellow salt sand, and these nine stones are a swarm of water stones. Do you know how precious Lao Pagan's water stones are?"
Of course Ye Qing knew how precious Lao Pagan's water stone was.
Lao Paganchangkou is located on the west bank of the Wulong River. It is divided into highland gravel layer and floodplain sedimentary sand deposits. Modern floodplain sedimentary sand deposits are mainly mined in the Wulong River bed.
The river bed is very wide, and the jade-containing gravels are of different diameters, not cemented, and the skin is thin and smooth.
It is submerged by the river during floods and often emerges from the water during dry periods, so it does not form a weathered shell. It is called "water stone" in the jade industry.
But Lao Pagan is a famous pit in history, and the water stone is of the best quality. Mining began in the Ming Dynasty, reached its peak in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and was almost exhausted by the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, when stone gamblers mention Pagan Laokeng, the first thing that comes to mind is the black sand produced by the highland gravel mine.
As for the water-stone characteristics, red sand, white salt sand and yellow salt sand are almost never mentioned.
It’s not that I haven’t mentioned it, it’s that I haven’t seen it at all.
"When the Wulong River changed its course, we found a piece of red sand and nine pieces of yellow salt sand at the bottom of the river!"
Wen Yuanshan sighed: "The red sand leather is too heavy, and we also chose a better piece of Mowanji black black sand, which is also a big piece.
There is really no way to bring both stones back.
Therefore, the red sand skin was left to Sanji, but these nine pieces of yellow salt sand were brought out by us. "
"In other words, Zhao Delong was the traitor back then!"
"I also have this suspicion, but there is no evidence!" Wen Yuanshan said in a bleak tone: "But when you see these pieces of yellow salt sand, it should be him."
Ye Qing frowned: "But Zhao Biao said that Zhao Delong only met Wang Zhongyang a few years ago."
Wen Yuanshan smiled bitterly and said: "There is only one young lady in the main line of the Wang family, and Wang Zhongyang is in charge of the Wang Jewelry Group as a concubine.
Moreover, he is the youngest son, so it is not surprising that Zhao Delong does not recognize him.
However, back then, Zhao Delong went to Chaoshan on behalf of Ruili Stone Circle to congratulate Chen Juncai and the eldest lady of the Wang family on their marriage.
It was at that time that he met Wang Shan and Wang Gui. "
Only then did Ye Qing realize: "Zhao Biao said that the purpose of transporting King Mowan Jihei Wusabiao here this time is that Wang Zhongyang wants to seize the scabbard!"
Wen Yuanshan was silent for a long time: "I know!"
"What secret does that scabbard hide?" Ye Qing asked suspiciously.
"Treasure Map."
Ye Qing chuckled: "Master, do you think I will believe it? Perhaps the head of the Wang family, Wang Shan, coveted these treasures because he was poor and short-minded.
But the Wang family is no longer what it used to be. The Wang Jewelry Group is a large enterprise with a market value of tens of billions. How can it care about a mere treasury. "
A treasury built hundreds of years ago, or a gold mine that Zhu Youlang discovered only after escaping to Laojie City. Even if it is fully exploited, how much gold can be mined based on the conditions at that time?
However, there are too many people who miss him, including my father, master, Chen Juncai, Ma Qianli, and even Wang Shan and Wang Zhongyang who are far away in Chaoshan.
This is unconscionable.
Therefore, Ye Qing was sure that there must be something evil going on here.
Wen Yuanshan was silent for a long time before saying: "The value of some things cannot be estimated in terms of money."
Ye Qing frowned: "What exactly did Zhu Youlang leave behind back then?"
"Hope, hope for the restoration of the country!"
Ye Qing turned to look at Liu Fang and saw her frowning, thinking hard, and sneered: "If you eavesdrop on such a secret, be careful I kill someone and silence you."
Liu Fang glanced at him with disdain and wrinkled her nose: "Young chicken." She twisted her waist and swung her hips:
"I'm going to put the water in first. For the sake of your loyalty to my sister today, I'll help you scrub your body for a while to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed with water."
Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to her. He sat on the coffee table and thought hard about what was the hope for the restoration of the country.
