C94 Inexpensive eserine (1/2)
The Stonecutting Machine kept turning, but Zhang Laogui still hadn't cut anything, yet he was already sweating profusely, his aged fingers were shaking. Facing this gamble that he had to lose, even at his age, Zhang Laogui's mood fluctuated greatly. That feeling was on the verge of breaking down.
”Congratulations young master, young master Xi, we have achieved complete victories today!” Ji You had already started bragging by his side before the stone bet had even been cut open.
Feng Yang laughed, with a confident look, he did not notice the middle ore on the Stonecutting Machine, and looked down on it from the bottom of his heart. If that thing could cut something out, it might not even be able to slice a piece of Ice Species. Feng Yang thought in his heart.
Crack, crack, crack. A few shattered rocks fell to the ground as the Stonecutting Machine swept past.
Even Lao Yang and Zhang Laogui who had cut the stone could see that, let alone those jewelry businessmen, that the medium ore was not of good quality.
At that moment, no matter how anxious Liu Mingmei was, it was useless. The Stonecutting Machine had already started to activate, so the fifth ore was already a piece of cake.
, the other witness, still could not believe it. He stared at the Stonecutting Machine, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, time slowly passed by. There were no changes to the middle grade ore, it was still like a useless piece of rock. At this time, even the glimmer of hope in Zhang Xun's eyes started to dim.
Seeing that the ore had already been cut in half and was still not green, Zhang Hao also started to become nervous. He pulled Ye Qian and said: ”Brother Ye, this, this ore, it, it, it, it won't be empty, right?”
The more time passed, the more brilliant Feng Yang's smile became. He stood at the side and lit up a cigarette, Feng Yang could already see the light of victory. Although the fifth piece didn't cut anything out, Ye Qian's top four was already worth quite a bit. One hundred seventy million, if one could earn one hundred and seventy million with just one bet, then that would be a sky-high price. Qing Yuan had at least not come here for nothing today.
”Brat, I think you better stop slicing. This ore is already wasted. You should just admit defeat!” Ji You looked at Ye Qian, his face full of arrogance, as he said unhappily.
At the same time, Zhang Laogui's Stonecutting Machine also stopped, only to see Zhang Laogui gasping for air with his mouth wide open, standing at the side, lighting a cigarette for himself. This kind of disappointment and pressure was simply too great. Even someone as capable as Zhang Laogui began to find it hard to endure.
Glancing at Ye Qian, Zhang Laogui took a deep breath and sighed: ”Little brat Ye, I'm afraid that you won't be able to cut anything out of this rock. It seems that you are going to lose this bet!”
Although he did not want to admit it, the truth was clear, this ore truly did not have anything. No matter how unwilling Zhang Laogui was, he did not have the ability to change this piece of abandoned ore into jade.
All of the confidence and blame was pointed at Ye Qian. This gamble would definitely end in failure. But only Ye Qian, the person involved, did not think so.
Everyone saw Ye Qian suddenly move, arriving beside the Stonecutting Machine and replacing Zhang Laogui's position. The Stonecutting Machine began to spin again.
”What is this kid trying to do?”
”Does he want to open the stone himself?”
Feng Yang asked in disdain, ”Who does he think he is? Even if he were to personally open it, he would be unable to do so. It is a waste of his effort! ”
Ye Qian smiled Yanyan, turned to Zhang Laogui and said: ”Elder Zhang, after working continuously for such a long time, you are finally tired. This little one will help you, what do you think?”
Zhang Laogui snorted in disdain, he knew that Ye Qian could be considered an expert that hid his abilities, and he had talent in opening stones, if not he would not unravel that kind of jade. But even so, as the saying goes, a perfect woman cannot have a meal without a meal. There was nothing inside this medium sized ore. Even if you were even more skilled, you wouldn't be able to do anything.
”Little brat Ye, cut it. In this old man's opinion, even if you cut this ore into pieces, you wouldn't be able to find even the slightest bit of flesh!” Zhang Laogui was furious, it was obvious that he was blaming Ye Qian for losing a million.
Ye Qian seemed to have not heard Zhang Laogui's words at all, his hand raised and his blade descended, directly aiming at the ore.
”F * ck, is this a stone or a cabbage?”
”I've never seen such a stonecutter. If there was meat, he would have already been cut into two. By then, this kid wouldn't even be able to cry in time!”
Feng Yang coldly snorted, and said with disdain: ”Hmph, just look at this brat, he is an amateur. This young master has never seen someone who can cut stones like that, he is no different from cutting meat on a chopping block!”
Ji You also put on an act, ”Sigh, there's no challenge at all for winning against a layman! ”No fun, no fun!”
Ye Qian only slashed his blade out, slicing the few remaining raw stones into two. After that, Ye Qian did not care about it anymore, and returned to the front of the group with a calm smile, and said to Lao Yang lightly: ”Shopkeeper Yang, can you help me see, how much is this jade worth?”
Lao Yang was startled, he looked at Ye Qian as if he was looking at an alien, and thought: This brat couldn't be delusional, right?
”This kid is crazy, he must have gone mad. Where is the jade?” Are they really just two pieces of broken stones? ”
