I still know a little about jade stone gambling in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
When he was in school, Tang Songyuan read a lot of similar novels, and now that short videos are so developed, he has also seen a lot of similar videos.
But it is limited to understanding. For this industry, most people still have only a half-knowledge and are specious.
He was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are so awesome now. Betting on stones is not something ordinary people can do."
Li Yangqiu chuckled and said, "Of course I don't know how to play, but my boss has been playing with rocks for decades."
"He is a distant cousin of mine. After I graduated from college, my dad put in some effort to get me to do odd jobs with him and learn something along the way. It can be considered a skill at least."
Then he came closer and whispered: "How about it, there will be a stone gambling appreciation party tonight, I will show you around later!"
Tang Songyuan thought that his clairvoyance ability was tailor-made for gambling on stones.
Those players who gamble on stones still need to rely on experience to distinguish, and they can easily see through it once they open their own perspective.
It is said that if you gamble on a piece of top-quality jade, you can become rich and well-off in minutes.
He had no interest in stone gambling, but he had a fatal yearning for making money, and he began to look forward to the stone gambling appreciation party in the evening.
Maybe you can make a lot of money with your clairvoyance powers.
"Oh, there is also a stone gambling circle in the Magic City?" Tang Songyuan asked.
Li Yangqiu curled his lips and said, "That's necessary. Magic City is the most prosperous city in the country. How could it not be possible?"
"But it's basically a private event, and the attendees are all gamblers. It's a test of your eyesight and luck..."
"If you are lucky enough to bet on a piece of imperial green jade, you will become rich overnight!"
Full material is a completely untouched raw jade stone. It is a kind of material that can only judge the internal situation from the appearance of the leather shell and the lighting performance.
There are also clear and semi-clear ingredients.
Tang Songyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Why does it have to be one night when it comes to getting rich? If it were me, ten nights would be fine!"
Li Yangqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with understanding eyes, punched his strong chest and said with a mean smile:
"Don't worry, with your current physique, I won't let you miss this opportunity."
"Haha~!"
In the evening, Tang Songyuan and Li Yangqiu had dinner, and then Li Yangqiu took Tang Songyuan to the scene of the stone gambling appreciation meeting that the former said.
This place is like an industrial park. There are no tall buildings. Instead, various factories and warehouses can be seen everywhere.
When they arrived, Tang Songyuan also met Li Yangqiu's cousin and boss, Song Zhenguo.
"Cousin, this is my classmate Tang Songyuan. I happened to meet him today, so I wanted to bring him over to see him!"
Li Yangqiu introduced to a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Tang Songyuan followed Li Yangqiu and called out, "Hello, cousin!" ', behaved quite well, neither looking around nor talking much.
Song Zhenguo is not tall and always has a smile on his face. If he had no hair, he would be no different from the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.
"Oh, Xiaoqiu's friend!"
Song Zhenguo looked at Tang Songyuan and said with a friendly smile like Maitreya Buddha:
"It doesn't matter. It's good for young people to come out and gain experience."
"The threshold for such an appreciation meeting is not high, and it may not produce any good products. You can take a look at it at will, relax and be out of the way."
Li Yangqiu chuckled, winked at Tang Songyuan and said, "Thank you, cousin, I will show him around in a moment."
Under the leadership of Song Zhenguo, the two also entered the venue smoothly.
It's said to be a venue, but in fact there isn't even a table.
Just place a stone two or three meters apart on a wide field.
The stones vary in size and shape.
There are many large ones weighing tens to hundreds of kilograms, and small ones weighing two or three kilograms, and so on.
The only special thing is that there is a standing sign in front of each stone, which roughly introduces the stone's site, weight and other basic information.
At this time, there were already many people in the venue, and these people seemed to be used to it. They squatted on the ground and looked at the stones that they were interested in without caring.
Almost all of them carry a small flashlight with a strong light, which they shine on the stone from time to time, or change their position, as if they want to see through the stone.
Some even use the mineral water they carry with them to pour a small amount on the stones, observing and thinking with focused eyes and furrowed brows.
Tang Songyuan also saw a dozen burly men in suits and leather shoes at the outermost edge, all wearing walkie-talkies. They were probably responsible for security from the organizer.
"Xiaoqiu, you can just stroll around, you know my rules!"
As soon as he entered the venue, Song Zhenguo seemed to have returned to a field he was familiar with and became confident and calm.
Li Yangqiu responded with a smile: "The cousin I know will never cause you trouble."
Song Zhenguo's eyes were already on various stones, he nodded slightly and said: "Go!"
Li Yangqiu winked at Tang Songyuan, and the two of them followed the crowd and wandered around the appreciation party.
"Do you know where these stones come from?" Li Yangqiu asked as he walked.
Tang Songyuan pointed to the signs placed in front of the rough stones angrily and said, "Myanmar, doesn't it have everything written on it?"
Li Yangqiu said: "Of course I know it's Myanmar. I'm talking about Changkou. Do you understand Changkou?"
Tang, Song and Yuan really didn't know this. When Li Yangqiu saw this, he looked like this, and then said:
"Actually, jade is produced in many places in the world, but only Myanmar can produce this kind of gem-grade jade. To be precise, it can only be found in a place as big as Hpakant. "
"The so-called market entrance refers to the specific place of origin of jadeite. The characteristics of jadeite produced at each site are different."
"Many experienced stone gambling masters need no introduction. They can tell at a glance that the rough stone was produced by that site."
It feels a bit like talking nonsense. I have a friend who has been an electrician for more than 20 years. He can tell whether there is electricity by just touching it with his hands.
"I still don't understand what kind of appreciation meeting this is. It has to wait until night to start?" Tang Songyuan said again.
"You don't understand this!"
Li Yangqiu chuckled, took out a small flashlight from his pocket, shook it, and said: "With insufficient light at night, we can better and more intuitively observe the performance of the rough stones under different lights."
"Look at those, aren't they all doing this?"
As he spoke, he moved his chin towards the people around him who were looking at rocks with flashlights.
Tang Songyuan raised his eyebrows, opened his perspective, and thought to himself: Is it necessary to go to such trouble?
I can figure it out with my eyes closed, okay?
