Chapter 67 Stone Cutting
The next process was stone cutting. Bai Zhengchu saw Lin Tian choose the pebbles and concluded that he really didn't know how to gamble on stones, so he announced that the stone cutting started naturally seemed relaxed and happy.
The servants have already prepared the stone cutter and stone grinding tools. Since the wool this time does not have huge wool of hundreds or hundreds of kilograms, a small stone cutter can be used. The Bai family has arranged a stone cutter. If anyone is interested in cutting their own stone,
If you don’t have the skills, you can ask a professional master to help.
A confident young man walked up to it. He did the cutting himself, fixed the wool, opened the stone cutter, and carefully pressed down the handle.
The emery wheel of the stone cutter rotated rapidly and cut on the wool. After a harsh sound, a piece of wool was cut off. The onlookers quickly came closer to observe, but everyone shook their heads in disappointment after seeing it.
The man's originally confident expression immediately collapsed. He turned off the power of the stone cutting machine and nervously picked up the wool. Lin Tian saw that jadeite had appeared in the incision, but the texture was rough, the transparency was poor, and it was gray-white.
"How could a low-end white guy do this?" The man looked in disbelief.
"Xiao Zhao, get out of the way. You don't need to cut this thing anymore." Another person pushed the dazed Xiao Zhao away and started cutting the stone himself.
But after his wool was cut, everyone booed even louder. Not only was his wool dry and white, but it also had tiny cracks.
If two of them are cut in a row, the people behind will be a little panicked. This is what stone gambling is like. Before the cut is made, everyone thinks that they will rise. If a few of them fail, the panic will spread.
Lin Tian, Zhou Botong and Bai Yuze were the only three people in the court who could maintain a leisurely attitude. The three of them were very patient and let the others cut first.
As more and more people were cut off, some people began to be unable to bear the pressure and did not dare to cut it themselves, so they had to ask the stone cutter next to them for help.
The best one, after he asked the stone cutter to help him cut it, it collapsed. It was also white and cracked. He scolded the stone cutter like a mad dog and put all the responsibility for the stone cutter on him. His father couldn't stand it.
When he came up, he slapped him, knocked his son to the ground, and asked the bodyguards to take him back.
The people behind them no longer dared to be arrogant and cut stones honestly. But Lin Tian also saw that these jade wool materials had been selected and filtered by the Bai family. There would be no valuable materials. Only the piece in Lin Tian's hand was a
Accident.
In other words, the Bai family also misjudged this pebble when they were choosing wool. Lin Tian was very much looking forward to seeing how the Bai family would look after cutting jade out of this wool.
Soon, everyone in the field had basically finished cutting the stone, and only Lin Tian and three others were left. Zhou Botong glanced at Bai Yuze provocatively, took the wool and went to the stone cutting machine to start cutting the stone. He cut the stone more simply and did not clean the windows.
After observing, he cut directly from the third part. Lin Tian did not stop him because he had seen that although cutting like this would cut a little jade flesh, it was not a big problem.
"Hey" after cutting it open, the guests made an unexpected sound.
"It's a gold silk variety, the green color is good, the transparency is good, it can reach the mid-range level." An expert middle-aged man nodded and commented.
"You are so lucky. This golden silk species is the best piece of wool currently available. Mr. Zhou's grandson may win."
Mr. Zhou sat on the main seat and nodded with satisfaction. This piece of wool was considered good. If the remaining two people's wool failed to cut better jadeite, Zhou Botong would win.
"Mr. Zhou, Broadcom is getting more and more powerful. You have your style!" Mrs. Xiao gently complimented Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou's eyes were full of smiles. Maybe it was Lin Tian's relationship, but Mr. Zhou didn't show off.
Bai Zhengchu frowned slightly when he saw his attitude of refusing to allow others to stay thousands of miles away.
In a sense, Mr. Zhou is not a qualified businessman. Many times he will do things according to his own preferences. He is also aware of this, so he rarely takes care of the family business and leaves it to his son.
, that is, Zhou Botong’s father.
However, he is still the most authoritative person in the family, and the Zhou family also controls certain jade trading channels. If the Xiao family gets involved in this line, it will be very detrimental to the Bai family. Every year, the Bai family sells jade wool to the Xiao family and earns
The huge profits will be greatly reduced.
More importantly, there were too many variables in the subsequent plan, which made Bai Zhengchu worried. It seemed that all these changes were caused by the arrival of this young man, Lin Tian.
"Brother Lin Tian, I have good eyesight, right?" Zhou Botong said proudly, holding his piece of gold jadeite, but his eyes were aimed at Bai Yuze, full of provocation.
"Golden Silk Seed, you are so proud of yourself, I think you two should keep a low profile, so as not to lose too ugly." Bai Yuze glanced at the Golden Silk Seed wool with disdain, turned and walked towards the stone cutter.
Bai Yuze was quite experienced in removing the stone. He used a grinding wheel to rub the stone first to remove the outer skin. Lin Tian looked at it with a clairvoyant eye and found that it happened to be the jade side.
As the stone chips peeled off, a touch of green appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Bai Yuze stopped wiping the stone in time.
"The color is bright green and pure. Although it is not thick, it is a rare waxy ice variety. Mr. Bai has really good eyesight. It seems that you are going to win this competition again!" Some guests complimented him endlessly.
"Haha, it doesn't count if you rub it, Yuze, please open your mouth on the other side." Bai Zhengchu said modestly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Okay, grandpa." Bai Yuze turned over the wool and opened another window.
This side will definitely be green. Lin Tian has seen through it and it is very clear.
"Both sides are good, and victory is basically a foregone conclusion." The guests completely ignored Lin Tian, and everyone felt that there was no need to waste time cutting into a piece of rotten stone.
They looked at Xiao Manxue with amusement in their eyes. They were so loud before, but now they were slapping themselves in the face.
"Bai Yuze, do you think you are certain to win?" Lin Tian stepped forward and said slowly: "I suggest you take out the jade before celebrating, so as not to have any unexpected results and the Bai family will lose face.
!”
"Hmph, talking to a layman like you is just insulting Jianyu, I'll explain it to you and make you give up!" Bai Yuze snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
The surrounding guests also felt that Lin Tian was messing around and couldn't recognize the facts. The good impression he had just generated from the lion dance disappeared again.
"A bodyguard is just a bodyguard. If you have no knowledge, don't come out to play if you can't afford to lose. Just keep a low profile and do your job well. After all, he is an ancient warrior. Why can't he understand the situation clearly!" The guests' comments were not very pleasant.
These comments made Xiao Manxuan very angry. She shouted loudly: "You people, you talk so mean, are you worthy of your status?"
