Chapter Fifty-One: Fu Lu Shou

  (Special thanks to the champion of the leader for the reward! Okay, he claims that he is number three! But in my heart, you are the champion! Run brother is the champion! At the same time, I would also like to thank 2602 book friends for their daily seven votes and updates!)

  He took a drag on his cigarette and exhaled a faint wisp of smoke. Manager Dong was still pondering the two black tourmaline stones from earlier. Suddenly, he noticed that Li Xiaoteng had gone into the restaurant for just a short while before quickly coming out again...

  Perplexed, he saw Li Xiaoteng rushing towards him with the two black silk pieces in his hand. Manager Dong hastily asked: "What's wrong? Mr. Li, have you been robbed?"

  Li Xiaoteng smiled at Manager Dong and waved the black silk handkerchief in his hand, then rushed directly into the store.

  At this time, Song Dage and Zhao Laoban, Cui Xiaoyan all followed. Manager Dong hurriedly stopped Song Dage and curiously asked: "Dage, did Xiao Teng buy your stone?" Song Dage nodded with tears in his eyes and said: "Otherwise, it's better to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! From childhood, I said that Xiao Teng would have a promising future when he grew up..."

  Manager Zhao, who was following behind, rolled his eyes and whispered to Cui Xiaoyan: "He's been bought off! If Li Xiaoteng didn't help out, who knows what the old man would say!" Cui Xiaoyan looked at Manager Zhao with a strange gaze. She didn't speak, but just stared at Song Dage's red-rimmed eyes. In her heart, she felt a weird taste. She also thought of her own mother and couldn't help but let out a silent sigh...

  Without much ado, Li Xiaoteng walked out of the Dongxing Restaurant. He held a large cowhide paper bag in his hand and handed it to Song Dage, saying: "Dage, it just so happens that I have some extra goods money here today! You take this and count it. It should be exactly 10,000 yuan."

  Mr. Song hastily took over the bag! With trembling hands, he opened the bag and pulled out the money. He carefully counted it twice before nodding his head and saying: "That's right! It's 10,000! Thank you so much, Little Teng. I don't even know what to say..."

  Li Xiaoteng hurriedly said: "I also know about your family's affairs! You are just like my own grandfather. Give me two blocks of momentum from your hands. I think, my parents won't say anything either!" Song Dage's eyes were red, and he continued to thank him without stopping.

  Watching Li Xiaoteng and Song Dage standing at the entrance of Dongxing Restaurant saying goodbye. Manager Dong really couldn't bear it anymore.

  "Hey Xiao Teng! Now that you've bought the stone, why don't you go to the jade processing shop at the street corner and have it opened?"

  Li Xiaoteng rubbed his head, not having spoken yet. Boss Zhao also said with a sour tone: "Yes! Boss Li is so overbearing! I also want to see how overbearing the rock you think is!"

  Li Xiaoteng glanced at the people around him and said casually, "I haven't prepared the ingredients for tonight yet... This thing can wait, haha..." Then he dryly laughed a few times.

  Manager Dong is done for! Pulling Li Xiaoteng over, he said: "I'll assign two masters to help you out with tonight's cold dishes! If you can't even crack open these two stone blocks, I reckon you won't be sleeping well tonight either!"

  Lao Song naturally didn't say anything, so many people didn't think highly of these two stones. If they were to be destroyed, he would feel even more uncomfortable! Standing on the side and leaving wasn't an option either, nor was staying. Yet he stood on the side, without any intention of leaving.

  Li Xiaoteng took a look at the people around him, and actually he himself was also quite eager to gamble once. He thought secretly: "What if I can win some money, it would be great to make some extra cash!" In fact, Li Xiaoteng had never thought about getting back this ten thousand yuan.

  She nodded slightly...

  Next to the night market business street corner, a Lingxiu Fang sign hangs high on the roadside utility pole. If you think this is an antique and elegant antique jade store, then you are greatly mistaken.

  Lingxiu Square is actually a foot care and health store. A hair salon is sandwiched in between. Passersby would think it's just a hair salon if not for the designs, carvings, polishing, and raw material processing of jade stones on the glass. Only then do people realize that this is actually a jade stone processing store!

  Li Xiaoteng held two pieces of black tungsten sand in his hands, followed by a group of relatives and friends who came together. They walked past with a flourish!

  Master Zheng, who is also the boss, is carving a piece of jade with his head down. Apprentice Su Fengmei sits beside him, carefully watching her master carve the jade every time he makes a cut, and secretly remembering it in her heart.

  Su Fengmei was just about to pour a cup of water for her master.

  Li Xiaoteng pushed open the door and walked in! Before he had a chance to speak, Manager Dong shouted: "Master Zheng, come and unlock the stone here!"

  Master Zheng put down his work and took a look at the group of people who had arrived. He found that most of them were familiar faces, especially Li Xiaoteng, whom he remembered vividly.

  He hastily said: "Is it a stone gamble? No problem, can handle!" Li Xiaoteng hurriedly asked: "How much does it cost to solve one piece of stone here?"

  Zheng didn't even have a chance to speak before Old Zhao said, "Gambling on stones is always done by opening one window or using the knife method! Who says you can just take it all apart?"

  Li Xiaoteng chuckled and said to Director Zhao: "I've never done this before, I don't understand it the first time, sorry about that!"

  Su Fengmei said, "Here, cutting one knife is 100. Opening a window is 150!" Li Xiaoteng casually put the small original stone that Cui Xiaoyan liked very much on the counter. Looking at Zheng Shifu and asked: "Do you think my stone is better cut or opened?"

  Su Fengmei didn't wait for Master Zheng to speak, she picked up the black silk and took a look at it twice, then said to Li Xiaoteng: "This stone of yours is better off being played with at home! I think there's no need to cut it!"

  Zheng boss hastily rushed to Su Fengmei and said: "You care about whether others are cut or not! Customers are always right! How can you talk like that!" He hastily rushed to Li Xiaoteng with a smile and said: "Open the window, or directly solve it! It depends on your personal opinion, Mr. Li!"

  Li Xiaoteng was still hesitating. Standing beside him, Cui Xiaoyan said: "Boss Li, I don't know how much money you plan to spend, but I can help you come up with an idea." Li Xiaoteng immediately asked excitedly: "Is 1,000 yuan enough?" Cui Xiaoyan nodded and said: "No problem! Two blocks may not be enough to open, but at least we can estimate the approximate value roughly, it's still no problem!"

  Li Xiaoteng nodded, and before entering the door, he heard Cui Xiaoyan evaluating the stone. Knowing that Cui Xiaoyan was stronger than himself, a layman, he immediately turned to Cui Xiaoyan and said: "Beauty, can you help me make a plan? You say how to cut it, and I'll cut it that way!"

  Cui Xiaoyan smiled and said, "That's settled then! Don't blame me later!" Li Xiaoteng heard that someone was willing to help and quickly said, "How could I? If it goes up in price, I'll give you a red envelope!"

  Su Fengmei rolled her eyes on the side, looking at the two of them like a clown, but didn't say anything. Then Cui Xiaoyan took out a strong yellow flashlight from the counter and shone it on the stone, turning it around. After a while, she picked up a water pen and drew two circles on the stone's eczema and python pattern respectively. She handed it to Master Zheng and said: "You open two windows in these two places!"

  Master Zheng looked at Cui Xiaoyan's professional technique and nodded secretly. Without saying a word, he took the stone and first splashed some water on the whetstone, then started sliding back and forth with an electric grinder.

  Everyone was silent, holding their breath, watching Master Zheng sharpening stones.

  A hissing sound that made people's teeth ache... The sound entered everyone's eardrums. It didn't last long. The location of the spark was enough to make Master Zheng retreat by about five millimeters. Inside, it was still a dark stone block.

  Li Xiaoteng didn't understand, but news, web articles, documentaries, videos. Never watched less. Naturally knew that there was nothing here...

  Zheng Shifu looked at Cui Xiaoyan and then at Li Xiaoteng, his puzzled gaze seeming to ask: "It's all like this? Are you still not satisfied?"

  Cui Xiaoyan helplessly glanced at Master Zheng and said, "You continue to sharpen the snake pattern!" Master Zheng responded with a "good" and picked up the stone to continue sharpening.

  Another hissing sound...

  The entire python pattern on this stone was polished to be extremely smooth by Master Zheng! However, the inside of the stone is still a dark charcoal color. Cui Xiaoyan shrugged her shoulders and asked Li Xiaoteng, "Boss Li, I think there's no hope for this stone anymore! Let's just cut it open from the middle and take a look!"

  Li Xiaoteng looked at the stone with a lost expression. He nodded helplessly and said, "Cut it off!"

  Master Zheng quickly put the stone into the cutting machine. He flipped the switch. The cutting machine started to cut the stone, and golden sparks flashed on the saw blade. In less than twenty seconds, the entire black stone was split in two!

  Zheng took the stone out of the cutting machine and looked at it calmly, as if he had expected this outcome. Li Xiaoteng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley...

  Li Xiaoteng took over the stone handed over by Old Zheng. He took a look and immediately felt extremely depressed, putting the stone on the table. He then hastily handed another stone to Cui Xiaoyan.

  Cui Xiaoyan now feels a slight sense of loss in her heart... She had wanted to say to Li Xiaoteng: "A stone with such good quality, hasn't even been cut out. This big one is not worth wasting money on."

  But before he could finish speaking, Li Xiaoteng stuffed another larger stone directly into Cui Xiaoyan's hand.

  Cui Xiaoyan had no choice but to reluctantly say a few words. This time, not even the strong flashlight was used. Just took a glance and drew a circle with her hand, handing it over to Old Zheng.

  Mr. Zheng asked: "How deep is this window?" Li Xiaoteng hastily replied: "As long as you can see the greenery, it's fine..."

  Manager Zheng didn't say a word. As soon as he took it over, he started grinding it directly. Before long, they heard Old Master Zheng exclaim: "It's actually Fulu Shou?"

  Li Xiaoteng suddenly became spirited upon hearing this...

  Mr. Zheng put down the scraper in his hand! Hurriedly handed the stone to Li Xiaoteng. Li Xiaoteng took a look, and suddenly got excited, grasping the stone tightly. Stomped his feet!

  Hold the agate and take a closer look! In fact, although this window is not large, it is very smooth. Moreover, on a small square of less than one centimeter, red, green, and yellow colors are intertwined together.

  Li Xiaoteng looked at Cui Xiaoyan and said: "Beauty! I'll give you a red envelope, take a look and see how to cut it later!"

  Cui Xiaoyan was also delighted. She hastily picked up the high-intensity flashlight and shone it through the window. The yellow light instantly illuminated a small patch of black sand.

  Cui Xiaoyan looked at the original stone in surprise and said with excitement: "Boss Xiao Teng, I think you've made a fortune this time! I feel that there is at least half of the jade in this gambler's stone!" After finishing speaking, she drew another small circle on the left side while shining a strong light flashlight.

  Hurry up and rush to the somewhat dazed Master Zheng and say: "Master Zheng! You are making a window here..."

  "Alright, yesterday was the 38th, originally didn't have a draft. Accompanied my wife to buy clothes. Returned home with a tired body. Forced myself to code one chapter. Until now! The update is late! Sorry!"

  I'm so tired..... Today, a reader said that my writing about gambling is degrading and rotten. It shouldn't be used! But this is just an introduction, it will pass quickly! If I say more, it will be a spoiler! I won't say anymore, let's wait and see! Collect! Thanks!)
