The roaring of the motor in the stone-cutting area, the cutting sound of the cutting machine, and the laughter of the onlookers were endless.
Some people were happy while others were sad.
He became extremely poor in a day and bought a house and a car without any money.
Stone gambling was about the heartbeat.
If you don't have any foresight, don't enter this industry recklessly.
………………
There were quite a number of people cutting stones, and even after half an hour, it was still not Chen Ge's turn.
The person who cut the stone was an old master who was about 40 to 45 years old. Although he was a little old, his eyes were still bright. Seeing that his hands were full of wrinkles and cracks between his thumb and forefinger, it was enough to prove that he had been cutting stones for a long time.
Chen Ge glanced at the old man's name tag, and the name was Mu Hongjiang.
Chen Ge had heard of Mu Hongjiang before. He was a very experienced stone-cutting master, and it was said that when he was young, he was a celebrity in the stone-gambling world.
Some newbies who couldn't figure out how to cut would consult Elder Mu and let him decide how to cut.
There were also old foxes who had been in the jade industry for many years who would humbly ask Elder Mu and Mu Hongjiang for advice when they encountered some very difficult stones that they were not confident in.
Mu Hongjiang finished cutting the stone in his hand, looked around and shouted,"Next, number 13!"
When Chen Ge heard that, he raised his hand. Me! It's my turn!"
Chen Ge hugged the rock and walked forward.
Mu Hongjiang glanced at Chen Ge, who called him Elder Mu, and he nodded with a smile to express his gratitude. It was rare to see such good manners among young people nowadays.
"How do you want to cut it, young friend? Do you have any ideas?" Mu Hongjiang chuckled.
Chen Ge placed the two stones on the table and said respectfully,""Elder Mu, I picked up these two stones to play with. Why don't you help me take a look?”
"Oh? Are you new to the industry?"
Chen Ge nodded.”
"Alright, let me take a look for you."
Mu Hongjiang took out a flashlight from his apron pocket and shone it on the stone. His face darkened."Little friend, your two pieces are trash. How much did you spend?”
When the surrounding crowd heard this, they began to whisper and discuss.
"Looks like this young man has been scammed. It's no wonder that he's a newbie.”
"I'm dying of laughter. There's really someone who doesn't know anything and dares to play with rocks?”
"Haha, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.”
"I've only been in the industry for half a month, and I can tell that those two pieces are trash.”
"Let's just watch and have fun.”
"That's right. Many people have been through this. What's there to show off?”
………………
Naturally, Chen Ge had heard what the audience was saying, but he could not be bothered with them.
"I didn't spend much money. I just wanted to be happy. Elder Mu, help me cut it open and take a look.”
Chen Ge passed the stone that was not Violet to Mu Hongjiang.
Mu Hongjiang: " Little friend, don't make a move next time if you're not sure. There are quite a few traps here."”
"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Mu!"
Mu Hongjiang kindly advised him, then took the stone and placed it under the cutting machine to start working.
The cutting machine was activated, and a deafening boom could be heard.
Chen Ge took a few steps back to the safe zone.
Mu Hongjiang operated the cutting machine to cut it accurately.
Ka--
In less than half a minute, the stone was cut in half.
Mu Hongjiang picked it up and shook his head."The jade in the yellow fog is not smooth enough, and the white parts are gray. It's a waste raw jade.”
Someone laughed,"This thing is worth a few hundred dollars."”
Chen Ge ignored the mockery and picked up the stone with the system notification that it contained the best purple jade and violet. He handed it to Mu Hongjiang and said,""Elder Mu, you should cut this piece too.”
Mu Hongjiang took it and looked at it." This one is better than the previous one. It shouldn't lose much."”
After putting down the stone, Mu Hongjiang turned on his phone and prepared to cut.
At that moment, Chen Ge stopped Mu Hongjiang and said,""Wait, Elder Mu, can I cut this?”
Mu Hongjiang stopped and looked at Chen Ge with confusion.""You cut? Little friend, do you know how to cut?"
" Yes." Chen Ge nodded." I've watched you operate it a few times, so I think you know how to do it."”
"Haha! I'm dying of laughter. Is this brother here to be funny? Did he really think that he knew how to cut stones after watching Mu Hong and Teacher Jiang cut them a few times?”
"That's right. I'm so happy.”
"This little guy is interesting! Haha!"
Hearing that Chen Ge was going to do it himself, the audience laughed.
" Don't worry, Elder Mu," Chen Ge said." I asked for it myself. Even if it's broken, it's not your fault."”
Cutting the stone was very simple. He just needed to press the machine down with a little force. However, if he wanted to operate it without hurting the jade, he needed a lot of experience and techniques.
If his hand trembled and the cut was even a centimeter off, the value of the jade would be greatly reduced.
Mu Hongjiang thought for a moment and finally nodded."Alright then."
Since Chen Ge had requested it, Mu Hongjiang had nothing to say. After explaining some safety precautions, he gave up his seat.
Chen Ge put on the apron and goggles and walked behind the cutter. He raised his head to look at the audience who were laughing at him. The corners of his lips curled up into a strange smile.
