C116 (1/2)
After bidding farewell to Lin Jiaqi, Zhao Jinbao continued to stroll around the city. In the afternoon, he slept on Wang Tao's bed for a while, causing him to be especially energetic. He had long heard of the bustling night market in the city, so Zhao Jinbao planned to take advantage of this to have some fun tonight.
The night markets of Yutai County were usually concentrated in a few fixed areas, which made it easier for people to search for them, as well as for the government departments to rent them. Under the driver's lead, Zhao Jinbao finally arrived at one of the night markets.
As soon as he got off the car, Zhao Jinbao had an illusion. The scene in front of him was not at all like what he should have been at night.
It's a big square, full of everything, food, clothes, games, everything.” The items on the night market were cheap, so many women and men who owned families would choose this time to shop.
Zhao Jinbao was not interested in any of these. Amongst the hundreds of stalls, the one that attracted his attention the most was a grocery store selling broken stones.
Walking in front of him, Zhao Jinbao looked at the people around the stalls, and used all sorts of strange stones to compare them, his face occasionally frowning and thinking, then asked: ”This big brother, what are they doing, it's just a piece of broken stone, it doesn't even look like a work of art, what's there to research!”
”Hey, young man, you can't speak carelessly. I am betting on stones!”
”Stone gambling? What the heck is this? You can even bet on stones? ” Zhao Jinbao was startled, this was the first time he had heard of this.
The person who spoke looked at Zhao Jinbao in shock, but then laughed and said: ”Young lad, you aren't a local, are you?”
”I'm from the village below, this is my first time coming to the county!” Zhao Jinbao did not hide anything, the rural people did not steal nor steal, there was nothing to hide.
”Since you don't know, then I'll tell you.” The big brother pointed at the stones on the stall and said, ”See those stones? They are not ordinary stones, these stones can cut out some of the jade precious stones. Although they are not the main body, but there are still many good things in these stones, if you can cut them out, then you will earn a lot!”
”What if it can't be cut out?”
”If you can't cut it out, that means you don't have enough luck. That's why it's called a rock gambling.” On the side, luck has taken up a lot of space. If everyone could cut it out, then there would be no betting anymore. ” The warm-hearted elder brother smiled.
Zhao Jinbao nodded his head. From his concern for his big brother, he roughly understood the meaning behind the stone bet, but this kind of thing that was mostly made of luck, it was too mystical. Even if one lost nine times in a row, they would probably not be able to cut anything good, if not why would the other party not cut it themselves and take it out to sell.
”Kid, how about we go cut one and try our luck?” The warm-hearted brother touched Zhao Jinbao with his arm, and looked as if he was just joining in on the fun.
”But I don't know how. I don't even know how to choose a rock. Isn't it a waste of money!”
It's impossible for people to come to the stalls to buy these kinds of materials. Don't look around at those people, they're just pretending to understand everything. This is your first time. Because he was afraid of spending money, he wanted Zhao Jinbao to take the initiative.
