580 Green
In the stone gambling shop.
In the end, Qin Xi and Mr. Qin entered a deserted shop. Other shops were crowded, but this shop was the only one with a few customers. There were clearly a lot of raw stones, but very few people came.
Even if someone came in, they would leave after taking a few glances. This troubled the boss. He squatted at the door, smoking a cigarette and looking at the other shops enviously.
When he saw Qin Xi and Mr. Qin walk in, he did not react at all because he knew that the two of them would definitely leave in less than five minutes.
However, before he could exhale a puff of smoke, a cold voice came from behind.
“Boss, are you not doing business anymore?”
The boss stood up in reflex. “What can I do for you?”
However, when he turned around, he saw a young girl picking the raw stones in front of him. The enthusiasm was extinguished again.
“Take a look around. Whatever you want to buy, I’ll give you a discount.”
He was just saying it casually. Unexpectedly, Qin Xi pointed at one of the raw stones and said, “Boss, I want this stone. How much is it?”
Her tone was relaxed, as if she was buying a cucumber. He thought that he had heard wrongly and subconsciously looked at Mr. Qin, only to see him taking out his card, looking like he was ready to pay.
“Boss, how much is it?”
The boss immediately put on a smile and ran over to personally move the raw stone to the scale. “It weighs 31.5 kilograms. Each kilogram is 850 yuan. I’ll give you a discount and that will be 25,000 yuan. May I know your names? Also, do you want me to open the raw stone now?”
The raw stone Qin Xi chose was relatively cheap. This was a very reasonable price, especially since the boss gave her a discount. “Open it.”
When Mr. Qin heard the price, he immediately swiped the card.
After the bill was paid, the boss pushed the raw jade to the stone cutter and opened the stone himself. Mr. Qin went to Qin Xi’s side and asked in a low voice, “Daughter, do you only want this one? Aren’t you going to pick more?”
Qin Xi blinked and said matter-of-factly, “This one is enough. There’s green inside. I think this should be enough for us to spend.”
“There’s…? There’s green?”
He quickly lowered his voice. “How did you know? Daughter, tell me, are you…”
Mr. Qin did not know how to describe it. After hesitating for a long time, he lowered his voice and said, “Do you have some superpower? For example… your eyes can see through things and see what’s inside the stone.”
Mr. Qin was speechless.
At this moment, the boss handed Qin Xi and Mr. Qin a marker and said, “Mr. Qin, Miss Qin, do you want to draw a line?”
Mr. Qin shook his head and did not take the marker. “I’ll let my daughter do it.”
Qin Xi said, “Let me do it.”
She drew a few horizontal lines on the raw stone and marked them on the side. Then, she looked at the boss. “Cut according to the lines.”
“Alright!”
The boss quickly adjusted the position of the cutter and cut it according to the lines drawn by Qin Xi. Then, there was an ear-piercing sound of cutting.
After the layer was removed, there was nothing inside. However, Qin Xi was not anxious. She knew better than anyone if there was green inside.
Mr. Qin’s face was tense as he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
As expected, after cutting off the four corners, there was a faint green color inside. The boss and Mr. Qin were so happy that they were incoherent.
