It's not that Zhou Qing doesn't love royal purple, but she is just as worried about violating taboos as Ye Qing.
Boss Zhou is already in the center and has become a double-digit boss. Buying Royal Purple at this time, in the eyes of those who are interested, seems a bit overwhelming.
This is taboo in officialdom.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general in the army is not a good soldier.
But in the center, if you covet the big position, you are asking for death.
You can only ask for what He gives you. Don’t even think about what He doesn’t give you. Thinking about it is a sin...
But the imperial green doesn't matter. After all, purple is only found in the royal family, while green is a mortal color. Being crowned emperor only makes it appear more precious.
But what makes Zhou Qing speechless is that the treasure that others long for but don't desire is just a leak to them.
Let the two princes play the double act. What kind of leak should it be?
Zhou Qing saw a stone cutting factory in front of her, and her black and white eyes rolled: "Sister Yue'er, look at how hard it is for Young Master Ye to hold that stone, why not cut it!"
Liu Yue glanced at her helplessly: "Sister Qing'er, you can't cut imperial green from this stone."
Zhou Qing was stunned: "Why?"
"To determine whether a piece of jade is imperial green, the first thing to look at is the color, then the species, and finally the water." Liu Yue could only explain to her clearly:
“Emperor Green appears as a dignified lake green under sunlight, which looks similar to lake blue at first glance, appears emerald green under strong light, and appears sun green under digital flash, which is unpredictable.
Generally speaking, only Laokeng glass jade with sufficient water head and deep color is imperial green jade. Other jade with slightly worse water color cannot be considered as imperial green.
Although this stone belongs to Lao Houjiang, glass has never been produced in Houjiang..."
Zhou Qing refused to give up and said, "Is there no chance?"
Liu Yue shook her head decisively: "No." However, she still turned in.
This shop is also a gambling stone shop, but it is a front store and a back yard. The gambling stones are sold in the front, and the stones are cut and processed in the back...
This kind of shop is very common in tourist attractions. Generally speaking, they are mom-and-pop shops...
Seeing a group of people walking in, a beautiful woman in cheongsam hurriedly greeted them: "What do you like? Here are gambling stones, over there are processed jade jewelry, bracelets, brands, egg noodles, ring noodles, beads. All..."
Seeing the stone that Ye Qing was holding, the beautiful cheongsam proprietress was stunned for a moment: "So you are here to cut stones?"
Liu Yue smiled sweetly: "Madam boss, if you don't welcome us, we..."
"Welcome, why not?" the beautiful cheongsam proprietress said with a smile on her face, but her tone was teasing: "There is no charge for cutting stones, but such large pieces of Houjiang stone are rare... "
Ye Qing chuckled: "It's rare, this is also a treasure. By the way, boss lady, if you cut out the jade, you can't keep it..."
The beautiful cheongsam proprietress smiled sweetly: "Little handsome man, are you sure this jadeite rough stone can be cut into jadeite..."
While he was talking, a bearded man came in from the backyard and took a look, wondering: "Isn't this Lao Yuan's stone?"
The beautiful landlady said: "It's true, boss, I have made the decision today. I will help cut this stone today for free. I want to see if there is jade in this piece of Lao Houjiang after Lao Yuan has persisted for so many years..." ....”
Ye Qing had a look of helplessness on his face, but the stone circle was so big, I'm afraid all the veteran players in Qincheng knew this stone.
The group of people followed the bearded boss to the backyard and saw a water saw, a chain saw, and even a wire cutting machine in the workshop.
"Young man, wire cutting is a waste of time. This stone only weighs three kilograms and four taels..."
Ye Qing understood as soon as he heard that wire cutting was very expensive. The boss's wife had just said that there was no charge for this stone. The boss didn't want to waste time and wanted to use a chain saw or water saw to cut it in half. This was an explanation.
He glanced at the water saw, which had an alloy cutter wheel and was very thin: "Just a water saw, but boss, give me a pen..."
"Young man, you are overthinking. I have seen this stone many times, and there is a big crack in it. Even if it is not Xinhoujiang, it is still waste. There is no need to draw lines, just cut it."
Ye Qing smiled slightly: "It's so green out of shit, this stone may really be able to do miracles." He turned on the light and looked at it for a long time, and then cautiously drew a line next to the big crack.
The bearded boss was stunned: “Young man, don’t cut it!”
"This side is too complicated. It can only be tied with beads, which is not valuable." Ye Qing said thoughtfully: "But there is a piece of moss here. If the Houjiang stone is colored, it will definitely enter, so I bet on this piece."
When the bearded boss heard this, he also became cautious. An expert will know if there is anything when he makes a move. From the posture of lighting the lamp, the position of the line, and the judgment of the stone, it can be known that Ye Qing is definitely not a novice: " I will help you cut this stone myself."
“If you cut it, you’ll get a big red envelope!”
The bearded boss suddenly gained motivation and shouted loudly: "When the water saw rings, there will be ten thousand taels of gold. The boss's stone will rise sharply." He turned on the water saw and slowly pushed the stone toward the saw blade according to the line drawn by Ye Qing.
"Jiro", the bearded boss's expression changed. The stone was harder than expected.
They are all veterans of stone gambling, and they know they have encountered something good when they hear the sound. The surrounding stone gamblers also gathered around.
Half an hour later, the bearded boss turned off the water saw, took a closer look at the green stone slurry flowing out from the gap in the knife, and held a steel plate in his hand: "Boss, you'd better do it yourself!"
Ye Qing smiled and handed the steel plate to Liu Yue.
Seeing the heroic Liu Yue walking quickly towards the stone, everyone stood in awe.
There is a special rule in the stone gambling circle. When encountering a stone that is sure to rise sharply, only the owner of the stone is qualified to open it. No one thought that this young and beautiful girl turned out to be a big spender. Son.
Liu Yue inserted the steel plate into the crack of the stone, applied slight force, and with a click, the stone split into two halves...
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the square of emerald green, except the boss, who was staring at the messy other half and looking at Ye Qing in shock.
One stroke can cut off life and death, and the two worlds of ice and fire.
One side is a messy shit field, and the other side is light green emerald like lake water.
Liu Yue skillfully turned on the light and took a look: "The ice is high, the sky is green, the bottom is clear, and the lake is green."
Zhou Qing looked at this piece of jade with unblinking eyes. It was green with a hint of blue, and its texture was relatively pure. It was as pleasing to the eye as the clear sky. She liked it so much in her heart: "Sister Yue'er, Do you want to take action on this piece of jade?"
Liu Yue was surprised: "Sister Qing'er wants it."
Zhou Qing nodded affirmatively: "I like this color."
Liu Yue turned on the lamp and took a look: "There are two small cracks in this piece of jadeite. It is estimated that only one bracelet can be produced. This kind of aqua-colored bracelet is worth more than a million..."
"Two million!" To Zhou Qing, money is just a number.
The landlady came over, looked at Jade carefully, and asked with a smile: "Can I bid?"
