Chapter 370 If you like stone chapters, buy one more
Wang Fa's face was filled with anxiety, and he quickly said:
"How could it be such a coincidence? This kind of jadeite can't be found even in tens of thousands of stones!
There might be something fishy going on here, so don't be fooled."
Mrs. Bai was still not satisfied and asked a few more questions from time to time.
Wang Fa saw it and was worried, fearing that she would act on impulse and buy the stone directly.
Mrs. Bai smiled softly and said, "Then let's just take a look! We don't have to buy it."
Xiao Sun nodded and said, "Alright! I'll take you to the largest gambling stone shop. I guarantee it will open your eyes."
Not far away, an extraordinary building came into view.
This gambling stone shop is owned by the Longhu Gang and is the only one on this street.
The shop entrance is extremely wide, more than two people tall, and the two vermilion doors are carved with intricate and exquisite Taotie patterns.
Taotie has a ferocious face and wide-open eyes, and his appearance is exaggerated and full of tension.
Above the door lintel hangs a huge plaque with three large gold-plated characters "Treasure Pavilion" written on it.
At the door of the store, two burly men stood upright. They were dressed in black, with long swords on their waists and sharp eyes.
Walking into the store, the spacious space makes you feel suddenly open and the floor is paved with smooth marble.
The surrounding walls are inlaid with jade ornaments, which emit a warm luster under the light, and contrast with the various gambling stones displayed in the store.
When the store manager saw Xiao Sun, his face immediately lit up with a smile. He hurriedly bowed and said enthusiastically, "Hey, isn't this Manager Sun? What brings you here?"
Xiao Sun raised the corner of his mouth and smiled back: "I'm bringing a few friends to look around and see what good stuff you have in your store."
The manager quickly responded:
"Just turn around, just turn around! Let me introduce it to you.
This floor is filled with a variety of stones. To be honest, there aren't many good ones.
But look at these jade stones at the door, they are all of great significance!"
As he spoke, he walked to a huge piece of jade and said:
"This piece is Xiuyan jade, produced in the deep mountains of the north. Look at its color, it's warm and delicate.
The carving master said that this kind of jade is most suitable for carving flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the finished products are lifelike."
He pointed to a smaller piece of jade next to it:
"This piece of Lantian jade has bright colors and unique patterns. It has been loved by scholars and scholars since ancient times and symbolizes good luck and good fortune.
It is said that jewelry carved from it can bring peace when worn on the body."
After the introduction, the steward continued:
"Come, I'll show you inside. The prices of these small stones are quite affordable, some even cost a few hundred coins each. I just want everyone to have some fun gambling.
The stones on this floor are mainly for beginners to practice and are not worth much money.
I'll take you up to the second floor later. We have five floors here, and the stones are better and better each time!"
Everyone followed the steward up to the second floor. As soon as they stepped in, they could clearly feel the difference from the first floor.
The stones here are larger and more neatly arranged.
Each stone is carefully placed on a special wooden frame, with a small sign hanging next to it indicating information such as origin and price.
Everyone was following the shopkeeper on the second floor, looking at various stones with great interest.
Suddenly, the yellow fox that had been staying obediently beside Lin Wanwan seemed to be attracted by something and moved suddenly.
It jumped to the ground nimbly and ran to a stone in two or three steps. Its two front paws kept scratching at the stone, its movements eager and focused.
Lin Wanwan softly asked the yellow-skinned man, "Cai Huang Bao, what does this mean? Do you want this stone?"
The yellow-skinned man nodded heavily, as if he understood.
Milk tea also joined in the fun, making a few "ga ga ga" sounds and shouting at the top of her voice: "Buy it, buy it!"
After hearing this, Lin Wanwan looked at Mrs. Bai eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Mrs. Bai asked softly, "How much is this stone?"
The shopkeeper, with his signature smile on his face, quickly responded, "This stone isn't expensive at all. It's only eighty taels of silver."
After a moment of thought, Mrs. Bai nodded gently: "Put this stone aside for now!"
The manager quickly agreed, bowed and said:
"Okay, if you find anything else you like, I'll calculate it for you when we pay together.
If you buy a lot, I'll give you a discount."
Wang Fa, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but cough loudly, then quietly tugged at Master Bai's sleeve and muttered softly, "Are you not going to do anything about it? What's the use of this stone? Can I eat it after I buy it, or can I..."
Master Bai followed Wang Fa's gaze and looked at Madam Bai. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "Madam, this stone..."
Madam Bai glanced at him calmly and said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with this stone?"
Master Bai stroked his beard, chuckled twice, and quickly explained, "No problem. What I mean is, if you like stones, then buy some more."
Mrs. Bai raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "We'll talk about it later. If you like other stones, we can buy them."
Wang Fa pinched Master Bai, who shook his hand off and said, "Our Wanwan likes it, so I bought it when you asked me to. Why are you so annoying?"
Wang Fa shrugged and said, "How can you spoil your children like this? Prime Minister Liu, please say something!"
Liu Xiang cleared his throat and said slowly:
"How can this be considered spoiling a child? Since Wanwan likes it, why not buy it back?
Although these stones look ordinary, they might actually yield jadeite!"
When Wang Fa heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he threw his head back and burst into laughter:
"You actually believe that the stones here can produce jade?
When it comes to gambling on jadeite, nine out of ten times you will lose. How could it be so easy for us to have such a good chance as opening up top-quality jadeite?
This yellow-skinned creature might have been attracted by some smell and was pulling at the stone. It's not like it has any intelligence and can pick out a precious stone! "
Wang Fayu said with great emphasis:
"We can't be fooled by these appearances. This gambling stone street has many tricks!
I heard that many people lost everything they had just for this gamble, and in the end they lost everything and had to leave in disgrace.
Let’s not fall into this trap on impulse.”
The yellow fox became restless again. It twisted its body and jumped to a black stone.
The stone is black, with a rough surface and is inconspicuous. It looks like an ordinary stone thrown on the side of the road that no one would even bother to look at.
But the yellow fox acted as if it had discovered a rare treasure. It kept waving its two front paws in the air and turning its little head to look at the crowd from time to time.
Lin Wanwan looked at it, then looked at Mrs. Bai pitifully.
Mrs. Bai subconsciously looked at Master Bai. Master Bai coughed, nodded slightly, and said, "How much is this stone? Buy it too."
