Chapter 168: Bet on your heartbeat
Le Xiaoxiao stepped into the stone gambling shop and saw two people wanting to go out. She politely stepped aside and was about to run to the stone dissolving machine to see the knowledge about human solution and stone growth. Suddenly she heard a surprise Shouting, he subconsciously turned around and looked behind him.
The store door was open, and no one came in. There was only a tall handsome guy wearing sunglasses behind her. Leyun's eyes fell on handsome guy Yan. Did the treasure in that man's mouth refer to handsome guy Yan?
Glancing at the tall and majestic Mr. Yan, her eyes flicked to the two people in front of her. The young man among the two young men and women had a popular face, was delicate and quiet, and looked like he was honest, honest and not good at words. A kind-hearted man, and another young woman with short ear-length hair, white slacks, and a bright and flamboyant look.
The young woman stood next to the young man. She was only a few centimeters shorter than the man, which meant that the young woman was over 1.7 meters tall. Moreover, she was not wearing high heels but flat casual shoes.
The young man was carrying a backpack, and he was helping the young woman carry her handbag. He was also holding the lady's waist with one hand. His appearance of protecting flowers could be called a standard filial piety for a good male companion.
?
Le Yun's eyes fell on the beautiful woman, and her eyes rolled around. The beauty's face was very similar to that of handsome Yan Yan, and the most obvious thing was that she had a pair of dragon eyes.
If a man has a pair of dragon eyes, he must be majestic, upright, and powerful without anger. If a woman has a pair of eyes, she is usually a fierce, upright person.
The young woman's delicate face coupled with her beautiful and upright eyes exudes the natural charm of a woman, her ability and strength, and her standard popularity as a strong woman.
Looking at the young woman, and then at the handsome guy Yan, she realized in a second that Yan and that person must be related by blood. If there was no blood relationship, she would have taken off her head and played it as a ball.
Looking at the young woman again, Le Yun blinked her big, watery eyes and smiled with her small mouth. The beauty was pregnant with a baby. She probably didn't use cosmetics or apply lipstick for the health of the baby. She was a good mother. .
When the little girl looked at the two young men and women, the person involved did not pay attention. Her eyes fell on the handsome guy wearing sunglasses, and her eyes were full of surprise.
"Fifth sister, brother Jing, happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Yan Xing looked at each other, quickly took off his sunglasses, and wished them well.
Even though his face was still calm, his voice was slow and gentle, and his bright eyes were filled with warm light, wisps and threads of affection.
The young woman opposite is his grandmother's third brother, the granddaughter of his third uncle, He Panpan, and the young man is He Panpan's fiancé Kong Xijing.
Young Master Yan’s maiden name is He, after the founding hero He. His grandmother’s maiden name is He Ziqiong. She is the fourth of five siblings. She has three older brothers: Zigong, Zirong, and Zirui. The younger brother’s name is Zihua.
There are five He brothers and sisters, the eldest He Zigong, the fourth eldest He Ziqiong, and the fifth eldest He Zihua all died one after another. Only the second eldest He Zirong and the third eldest He Zirui are still alive, and they are the only two surviving members of the He family.
The daughters of the He family who married outside the family only had one daughter, while the sons all had Rongchang, each with two or three children, and the least one had one son and one daughter. The sons would have children, including girls, and there were many relatives in the family.
He Panpan ranks fifth among his peers in the He family and is one year older than Yan Xing. The He family siblings are very close to the descendant of the only aunt in the He family. The older one treats his younger cousin as his own brother and the younger one treats him as his. Brothers and cousins never use the word "cousin" between them, they are all called by rank or nickname.
Yan Xing also treats his grandmother's relatives and elders as close relatives, and is also very close to his old cousins. He loves his house very much, and he always calls his cousin's boyfriend brother. He will only officially call him brother-in-law after he gets married.
Kong Xijing smiled kindly when he saw his fiancée's cousin. He was two years older than He Panpan and was born in an ordinary working-class family. From an outsider's perspective, looking at the relationship between him and He Panpan, it seemed like he was the sparrow flying on the branch. Golden rooster, after all, the He family is a family of revolutionary heroes.
"Xiao Longbao, where are you celebrating the festival this year?" He Panpan's eyebrows were full of joy. He stepped in front of his handsome cousin in two steps and punched his cousin on the shoulder to vent his frustration. She is considered very tall at home. , compared to this little cousin who is a head taller than her, she is still a dwarf.
Comparisons between people are irritating. When she competed with her sisters at home, she won completely. However, when compared with her cousin, she lost all her advantages and was completely beaten.
Height cannot be changed. He Panpan cannot change his height. Every time he sees his cousin surprised, he feels depressed at the same time. He has to secretly give him something to give him something to vent his anger about.
"Fifth sister, you hit me every time. My sister bullies my younger brother. Next time I go back, I must ask my third uncle to make the decision." After being hit by a punch, Yan Xing's shoulder collapsed to one side. This cousin is a female man. He has a lot of strength, and it will hurt whoever he hits.
"Fuck you! You're so tough, but you're still afraid of me slapping you? My slapping is lighter than a tickle, so you have the nerve to accuse me of it. Isn't it embarrassing?"
He Panpan laughed and scolded angrily. Among all the elders, this younger brother was the most powerful. Even if they attacked in groups, they could not defeat him. They were the ones who were beaten to pieces every time, okay?
The corners of Yan Xing's eyes raised, and he smiled lightly: "Oh, then I won't announce the complaint to my third uncle. I'll tell my grandma. Fifth sister, are your grandma and uncles and aunts all in good health?"
The handsome young man has a picturesque face, that smile, and the warmth flowing from the depths of his affectionate eyes. There is a hint of deep affection in his voice when he asks about his elders.
The magnificence of that moment stunned the eyes of bystanders who heard the sound and looked at it.
After observing Le Yun for a while, she heard the handsome guy Yan call the young brother. She was aware of current affairs, so she quickly moved to a corner out of the way and looked at the people and stones in the store. When she heard the handsome guy call out "Grandma" Three words, she was confused.
In the south, mother's mother is called grandma, while in the north, mother's mother is called grandma. Then, grandma's mother is great-grandmother, grandma's mother is great-grandmother, and the official name is great-grandmother.
Handsome Yan is twenty-seven years old. Based on his age, if his mother had just turned twenty and got married, she would be around forty-seven. If a woman gets married at twenty, and so on, his grandmother must be at least sixty-seven. , his great-grandmother is over eighty-seven.
Grandma...
Le Yun became jealous when she thought that handsome guy Yan still had a great-grandmother who was a longevity star. He had lost his mother, his grandmother, and his great-grandmother. She didn't even know who the grandmother was. She was even more pitiful than Yan.
Feeling sour in my heart, I lowered my head and looked at my toes.
"Grandparents are very good. My ancestor has not had a good appetite recently and has lost some weight. Don't worry. My mother and aunts will take care of your ancestor. Just take care of yourself.
Xiao Longbao, you haven't answered me yet about where I will go to celebrate the festival this year. If you don't go back to accompany your great-grandma, will you go back to the Yan family or the Zhao family? ”
He Panpan clung to his cousin's shoulders, almost putting his weight on him.
His fiancée was used to being fickle, and Kong Xijing was also used to it. He moved aside and took care of her secretly to prevent her from accidentally wrestling when she was having fun.
Yan Xing quickly looked at the little Lolita and saw her standing in a corner not knowing what she was thinking. He lowered his voice and whispered to his cousin: "I have a mission this year and won't go back anywhere. I will call my great-grandma and uncles in the evening." .”
"I originally wanted to take you home to spend the holidays together. Since you have work, I won't embarrass you. We, brothers and sisters, will meet again on National Day. You should take care of your health. I'm leaving."
He Panpan didn't ask what the mission was or why he came to Panjiayuan. This younger brother had a mysterious job and couldn't pry into his affairs.
"Okay, see you on National Day." Yan Xing didn't leave his sister behind either. His fifth sister was pregnant with the baby and couldn't be too tired. Judging from their looks, they probably came here for a stroll early in the morning. They should rest at this time to avoid being tired. Baby.
Kong Xijing always listened to his fiancée. When she said she could go, he took a step forward, put his arm around her waist, smiled at Young Master Yan, and walked away with his fiancée through the door.
Yan Xing watched his cousin and future cousin-in-law walk out of the store, and walked quickly to the little Lolita. He found that her fair and sweet oval face was wrinkled, and asked in a low voice: "Little Lolita, why are you unhappy?"
"You still have a great-grandmother." He had a great-grandmother, but she didn't even have a grandmother. She was jealous.
Yan Xing was slightly startled and lowered his eyes: "Well, my great-grandma is still alive and loves me very much, but I don't dare to spend the holidays with her. Every time I go, my great-grandma will think of my grandmother and me when she sees me. She will be sad if her mother is dead.”
There are many sufferings in the world, and one of the most tragic is having white hair and black hair. The younger generation dies before the elders. For the elders, the pain is heartbreaking.
"Okay, then I won't be jealous of you." Le Yun, who was full of jealousy, thought that his mother died early and he only had his great-grandmother. In order not to make the old man sad, he didn't dare to act coquettishly and get close to her, which was quite painful.
"Are you jealous of me because I have a grandma?" Yan Xing smiled. He thought he had made her wait too long, so he was sulking.
"Yeah, I don't even know if I have a grandma, shouldn't I be jealous of you?"
"Then I'm jealous of you too. You have very good grandparents, and a great father." He could only laugh at his grandparents and father.
"Yeah, that's even. You have a grandma who loves you, and I'm your dad. No one is worse than the other."
"What would you do if it wasn't even?"
"Without the portion for dinner, all vegetables and meats will be deducted. I'll only treat you to dry noodles." Le Yun announced her decision boldly with her nostrils pointing upward.
"...Then, are we going to gain knowledge now?"
Yan Xing's whole body was in bad shape. He was just a little bit short of losing his delicious food. It was so thrilling!
The little loli threatens to eat whenever she disagrees. This is not good, very bad.
"Okay, let's go and learn more."
The little emotions in Le Yun's heart disappeared, and she was in a good mood. She let go and ran to the stone dissolving machine to gain experience.
The store is very wide, about more than 200 square meters, and is separated from other stores by thick boards like those of mobile houses.
There are wooden shelves next to the board wall, where small jade wool or semi-wool materials are placed. Large pieces of materials are stacked on the ground, and some medium-sized materials are placed on the wooden shelves.
The stone-breaking machine is placed in a corner. If you buy stones in our store, we will provide stone-breaking services for free. If the stones are brought from other places, there will be a handling fee.
There were many people in the shop. Mr. Yan put on his sunglasses again and ran with little Lolita to see others cutting stones. There were more than a dozen people gathered there. A young man in his thirties was holding a fist-sized stone and cutting it on a grinder. .
Some of the onlookers were also holding stones waiting to be cut, and some were just looking to see if others could find good materials.
The stone-decomposing machine was roaring, the stone was rubbing against the machine and making a grinding sound. Lime powder and sparks were flying everywhere, but the onlookers looked excited and expectant.
The customer is the one who interprets the stone. The clerk stands aside and there are some cut stones in the corner. These are scraps from gambling and useless scraps cut from large pieces.
Le Yun opened her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and eagerly waited for the result. She analyzed it and found that the stone in the uncle's hand had a green halo. The color was not very bright, but it had a soft light that represented aura.
She is now waiting to see how much it will be worth after it is cut out, and then secretly compares it to see which type of stone is more profitable.
The young man cut off a little edge of the wool, wiped the surface with a wet cloth, ground it again, wiped the surface with a wet cloth, wiped it several times, cut again, wiped off the dust, and laughed in surprise: "It's up!"
"It's green!"
"It's gone up, it's really gone up."
Several people onlookers took a look and saw that the stone in the young man's hand had a face cut out, revealing two green balls as big as fingernails. If the jadeite is green, the status will rise. If it is green, no matter what, the chance of losing money is very small.
"Big rise."
"Young man, do you want to take action? I will offer ten thousand." "Twelve thousand."
"...Fifteen thousand."
The onlookers screamed, and some people immediately wanted to buy it. Anyone who knows the goods knows that judging by the green color, it looks like dark green or dark green, and the dark green component is greater.
Yan Xing glanced at the stone, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the little Loli. Her eyes were sparkling, and she looked like she had found a treasure when she looked at others, and beautiful flowers bloomed on her round face.
Well!
That discovery made him particularly speechless. It belonged to someone else. Why was little Loli so happy?
Even if she wants to be with Yourong, it should be someone she knows. For example, if his bet goes up, it makes sense for her to be happy for him.
The young man took the stone and negotiated the price with the person who was interested in buying it. He bought it for 20,000 yuan. He started with 1,000 yuan and sold it for 20,000 yuan, which was an increase of only twenty times.
The young man took off the stone and happily went to pick out wool. When the machine was empty, the onlookers went up to unpick the stone, and they were also full of expectations for the green color.
Seeing that the transaction was successful, Le Yun turned around and ran towards the pile of stones. The green part of the young uncle's stone was about the size of an egg. Such a small piece was worth 20,000, so how much would it be worth if it was larger than it? money?
The spiritual energy of that stone is very weak, and the green halo is also very dim. If the spiritual energy is stronger than it, and the light is brighter than it, the value of the stone will definitely be doubled.
Money, stones with beautiful auras are all money!
Now, in Le Yun's eyes, those stones are banknotes. With a lot of banknotes, she must quickly grab the stones with the strongest aura.
The little Loli ran away excitedly. Yan Xing raised the corners of his lips slightly and followed quickly. The little Loli's hands were probably itchy as well. Her smile was very sweet, and she could kill both men and women, but she didn't know if her luck was the same as hers. The smile is as invincible as ever.
It was as if Mr. Le Xiao had stepped on a skateboard with wheels, rushed to the stone area where the wooden shelf was placed, pulled out a piece of wool from the pile of stones, held it aside, and looked at it with a flashlight. It really looked like that. Momentum like a pro.
Young Master Yan arrived, and the stone that little Loli carried out was clearly marked, weighing three pounds, sixty-seven pounds, and the stones on the wooden shelf were all clearly marked with prices, 5,000 yuan per pound.
Three pounds, sixty-seven pounds, five thousand one pound, that’s 18,350 yuan.
Exorbitantly expensive!
Yan Xing, who was admiring the little Lolita's appreciation, the first thought that came to his mind was that it was too expensive. The stone cost five thousand one kilogram, so why not rob a bank.
Turning over and over, turning over and over, shining the stone again and again, Le Yun picked up the stone and put it in her arms, like a little horse, running away again with high morale.
Little Loli won’t decide to buy it, right?
Yan Xing was a little dumbfounded when the little loli ran away holding the stone. Don't tell him that the little loli really wanted to buy that kind of stone. The first time he tried it, he smashed nearly 20,000 yuan. She didn't feel bad, but he felt sorry for her money.
The little girl looked here, touched there, wandered around like a monkey descending a mountain, and was surprised by everything she saw.
Young Master Yan, who was accompanying her, followed her silently. When she finally stopped in one place, he followed the little Loli's gaze and almost knelt down. The price was listed at 11,000 kilograms!
Just now it was 5,000 yuan per catty, and now it is 11,000 yuan. That is what the old proverb says: "The dwarf goes up the stairs - he rises higher and higher step by step."
Yan Xing, whose heart couldn't bear it, tried hard to resist the urge to carry her away, and waited to see if she had the guts to really buy the 11,000-kilogram stone.
Le Yun stared at the long stretch of stones, her brows almost knotted, so expensive!
Ten thousand pounds per pound is simply too scary, okay?
It's not that Panjiayuan's wool is very cheap, why is it so expensive? She suspected that the news she checked was all fake.
Take a look at the stone you like again. Oops, it weighs fourteen pounds and five liang, so that’s 145,400 yuan.
Astronomical figures!
Calculating the price, Le Yun was heartbroken because she had no money!
The total amount of money she had was only around 100,000 yuan, which was not enough at all.
Besides, she can't put down all her belongings at once. She always has to leave some money for emergencies, not to mention the ones that are far away. The boys in the military training class are very good to her, and she always treats them to a meal. Rice expresses one's feelings.
No money, poor people, so miserable!
Being tormented by poverty to the point of bursting into tears, Mr. Le Xiao’s body and mind were exhausted. He gave up and was reluctant to part with it. That stone had such a strong spiritual energy. The place with the strongest spiritual energy in the entire Jade District was this store. The stone with the strongest spiritual energy in this store was that stone. A guy weighing fourteen pounds.
The halo of the piece of wool itself is still green, many times brighter than the halo of the previous piece of stone worth 20,000 yuan. The color is bright and sunny, watery and full of vitality.
That stone had stronger aura and more beautiful color than the one she held in her hand. If she missed it, she would not be happy even in her dreams.
While he was struggling, several people came over, and the flashlight was pointed at the pile of stones. In order to avoid the day when she would not regret it, Le Yun quickly stretched out her jade arms, picked up the stones, and took possession of them first.
There are unwritten rules in the antique jade trade. You cannot take something from other people's hands or something that others are appreciating. Therefore, as long as she is still appreciating it, others who want to observe it have to wait for her to let go before they can take action.
Taking possession of the stone, Le Yun blinked her watery eyes, arched her eyebrows, put on her sweetest smile, and smiled at the handsome guy next to her: "Handsome guy, can you lend me some money to help me with emergencies?"
Is this little loli really planning to buy that kind of sky-high price stone?
Yan Xing wanted to persuade her not to waste money. However, looking at the smiling face of the little Lolita, facing that sweet smile and those bright beautiful eyes, he couldn't bear to be cruel. If he refused, the little Lolita would Loli must be sad.
He didn't want to see her sad face, just like when he was talking to his cousin before, and when he looked back and saw the little loli's face twisted into a ball, her sullen look was heartbreaking, and the little loli was most pleasing to the eye when she smiled.
Reluctant to let the little Loli lose her smile, he asked for confirmation: "Do you want to buy that stone?"
That stone is really too expensive. If the bet loses, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be wasted.
"Yeah." Le Yun nodded affirmatively: "Handsome guy, you lend me money for an emergency. If it goes up, I'll treat you to dinner. If you lose, I'll ask Brother Chao to help me pay you back first, or pay off the debt with food."
Pay debt with food?
Yan Xing's eyes lit up and he couldn't hide his joy: "If you don't make money, you agree to pay off the debt with food, and I will lend you money, and you can get it immediately within one million."
He has no shortage of money.
Just because he doesn't spend money randomly doesn't mean he has no money. He lacks the love of his father and his mother, and lacks a happy home with parents. The only thing he lacks most is money.
If the little Lolita is willing to use food to pay off the debt and lend hundreds of thousands, then it can at least be used to pay for a year's food. This business is a good deal.
Young Master Yan's heart was filled with flowers and his eyes were full of color. He didn't want the little Lolita to pay back the money, but wanted to pay off the debt with food.
"Yes, if you pay, you can pay off the debt with food or use medicinal materials." Le Yun grinned. Others would pay, but she would definitely not pay. At least she could keep her capital.
"Deal. I'll help you hold one piece. Is there anyone else you don't like?" Yan Xing was so happy that he helped hold the heaviest stone with quick eyes and quick hands.
If you are willing to pay your debt with food, you can buy it, little Lolita!
No matter how much he buys, he will help her pay for it in advance. It is best to buy a few million, and he can eat and drink from the little Loli openly and rely on her for ten or eight years.
Young Master Yan was very excited at the thought of being able to live a life of good food and drink at Little Lolita's place. Go ahead and buy some more stones, cut them slowly and play with them, just think of it as a long-term experience.
"Well, I'll take another look." Le Yun was so happy that her eyebrows turned into crescents, she picked up the light stone, like a rooster that had won a fight, and walked around majestically with a figure-footed step.
Yan Xing: "..." The little loli's childish nature has emerged again. This little girl is worse than a peacock. Who did she learn it from?
The little girl is obviously a soft and cute child, but she prefers to imitate adults. She walked steadily and studied like an expert, and then she found a piece in one corner that was as big as a three- or four-year-old child's fist. of stones, and then went to the checkout together without seeing the target.
The shop owner collects the money himself. He looks to be about 50 or 60 years old, slightly bald, with a beer belly and a big smile. He is as friendly and polite to everyone as he is to a rich man.
In the past, only cash was used for jade transactions, but now you can use cash, bank transfer, or mobile banking transfer. Even the elderly can understand the new checkout methods as long as they have the money.
Yan Shao's mobile bank transfer costs 18,350 yuan per stone and 145,400 yuan per stone, totaling 163,750 yuan.
The stone, which was as big as a child's hand, was priced at five hundred yuan, regardless of weight or piece. The boss saw the two of them picked two stones with a total price of hundreds of thousands, but he couldn't resist the sweet and lovely smile of the little girl. , with a big wave of his hand, he took it as a pick-up and gave it to the little girl to play with.
After paying the bill, the boss takes a big seal and stamps a big blue seal on the stone mark to prove that payment has been made. You can cut it and play with it, or you can take it away, or you can wander around and pick out the stone again. There will be no confusion when paying bills. The purpose of marking is to avoid repeated payment.
"Do you want it cut?" The boss was also very interested. The little girl looked like a junior high school student, and her smile was so bright that he couldn't help but want to join in the fun.
"Yes. Cut it into a small piece." Le Yun nodded with a smile and asked the boss for two big bags to pack the larger piece of wool.
"Why not cut the big ones?"
"Cut out the big ones. If you lose money, I'm afraid I will despair. If you cut them into small pieces, even if you lose money, I still have reason to comfort myself and say that the big ones will definitely go up."
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just enjoying my little gambling." The boss wiped his sweat. If the little girl really cried bitterly on the spot, she would probably scare a lot of people, so, uh, just cut it into small pieces and take a look.
Yan Xing helped the little Loli pack the stone, stuffed it into his backpack without saying a word, and helped her keep it. Even though the little Loli had strange powers, he still felt that such a heavy thing should not be carried by a girl.
The boss hired a clerk and asked him to guard the cashier. If someone came to pay the bill, he would collect the money. He would help the little girl hold the stone to be cut, and happily go straight to the stone dissecting machine.
People came and went, and the stone-cutting machine was rarely idle. When the shop owner arrived with people, there were still a few people watching the stone-cutting. Although there were green stones before, there were no big stones after that.
There were two stone cutting machines. The bald boss carried the stone to the big machine and asked the girl where to cut it. Based on his experience, he knew where to cut it. However, it belonged to the customer, so he had to ask.
Le Yun ran to the stone, took the marker from the clerk, and drew a line on the stone with a swipe of the pen.
The boss took a look and said, oh, the little girl is really willing to cut it off from the line she drew, which is equivalent to cutting off a corner. If the material is greatly swollen, a small piece of the edge will be lost.
The customer is God, what God says is right, God’s decision is right, the boss decides to listen to the customer God, and he will cut where the little girl said.
The shop owner brought a large stone to cut, and the lady who had asked the shop assistant to cut the stone stopped and allowed her to observe other people's stones first to gain some confidence. After all, she lost both pieces.
After the stone is stuck, the shopkeeper controls the machine, and the blade eats the meat of the stone with the sound of teeth. He cuts along the line, cutting a few centimeters, pauses, splashes water to cool down, washes away the powder, cuts again, cuts a few centimeters, then cools down, and cools down four times in a row. , with a click, a corner of the stone fell.
Several people looked at the cut surface. The fallen corner surface was close to the ground, and there was no color visible. There was a faint glow of beautiful gemstones on the cut surface of the main stone.
People who looked down shouted:
"Look, there seems to be color!"
“It feels like it’s gone up.”
