Feng Qianyi turned her head to look at Lu Yunzhou: "Let go."

Lu Yunzhou didn't let go, his gaze falling on Young Master Feng: "Young Master Feng, Young Master Qi lost money gambling on stones, so I'll gamble again for him and win it back."

The courtyard was quiet for two seconds.

Young Master Feng grinned, bursting into laughter, his shoulders shaking: "You? Gamble on stones?"

"What, you're afraid to answer?"

Feng Shao stopped laughing, put his hands back in his pockets, and raised his chin.

"I've been in this business for six or seven years, and no one has ever said that before. Okay, how do we bet?"

I only have 500,000 in my pocket.

Lu Yunzhou released Feng Qianyi's wrist, gestured with his chin toward the shelf on the right, and said, "Let's each pick five pieces of material worth 100,000 each, cut them open, and compare their quality."

"Five hundred thousand?"

Young Master Feng took a breath, raising an eyebrow. "You dare to sit on the table with this little bit of capital?"

"I don't have enough to spare. If Young Master Feng thinks it's too little, just treat it as a joke."

Feng Shao stared at him for several seconds, then turned and smiled at the two burly men behind him before turning back.

"There needs to be an explanation. I'm not comparing how much the sliced ​​parts are worth, I'm just comparing the same thing."

"After cutting them open, is it all waste? Five stones, whoever has the most waste loses."

"You lost. You'll still get the 80 million, not a penny less."

"I lost. Young Master Qi, this debt is torn up on the spot."

"make a deal."

Feng Qianyi reached out and tugged at Lu Yunzhou's sleeve, lowering her voice: "Have you thought this through?"

Lu Yunzhou looked down at her and said in a low voice, "Trust me."

Feng Qianyi's fingers paused for a moment on his sleeve before loosening.

Young Master Feng clapped his hands: "Let's go, pick out the materials over there."

The news spread rapidly in the courtyard.

Several individual customers who were squatting in the corner looking at the goods stood up, and in less than two minutes, a large crowd surrounded them, three layers deep.

"Bet with Young Master Feng? Where did this guy come from?"

"He came with that guy from Fengming Group; he doesn't seem to know much about the business."

"The Feng family has been in the jade business for three generations. He grew up squatting next to the cutting machine. Isn't that just throwing money away?"

"It's all over, I'm going to lose my underwear too."

Qi Yufei squeezed next to Feng Qianyi, his palms sweaty and his voice trembling: "Sister, brother-in-law... is he really that good?"

Feng Qianyi's expression remained unchanged: "You're asking me?"

Qi Yufei swallowed the words that were about to come out and shrank his neck.

A dozen or so fist-sized rough stones were neatly arranged on the shelf, with price tags inserted in wooden troughs.

Lu Yunzhou squatted down, picked up a piece of raw material, flipped it over, and weighed it in his hand.

True energy seeped into the stone from the palm.

This area is empty.

There was no spiritual feedback whatsoever.

Put it back, next piece.

The true energy probed in, and a very faint fluctuation returned to the palm.

Have.

Without showing any emotion, he placed it on his right.

One piece after another, pick them up, examine them, and put them down.

I held a few pieces in my hand for three to five seconds before putting them back in their place, and occasionally I would look at one piece a few more times before throwing it back.

In less than three minutes, five rough stones were neatly arranged at his feet.

Lu Yunzhou stood up and clapped his hands.

"alright."

Feng Shao was taken aback: "The selection is over already?"

"When choosing a stone, look at its feel; hesitating too much will only make you less accurate."

Feng Shao grunted and walked to the other end of the shelf.

He ran his fingers across the surface of the stone, occasionally pausing to pinch the edges. It didn't take much effort; in less than two minutes, he had picked out five stones and placed them on the table.

"I've made my choice."

Two rows of raw stones are placed side by side on the table.

The worker pushed over a small cutting machine, plugged it in, and the buzzing of the motor filled the yard.

The onlookers pushed forward another step, and some people in the back stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to see.

Feng Shao crossed his arms, tilted his head to look at Lu Yunzhou, and smiled.

"Drive mine first."

He gestured with his chin towards his colleague.

The man put on his gloves, picked up Feng Shao's first rough stone, and turned the grinding wheel to full speed, the ear-piercing friction sound cutting through the entire yard.

Stone chips flew everywhere.

All eyes were fixed on the rock that was being cleaved in two.

When the grinding wheel reached the end, the worker turned off the machine and rinsed the cut surface with a water hose.

"It's gone up!"

A light green area is visible on the cut surface. The water content isn't top-notch, but it's definitely a quality piece, not a worthless stone.

Feng Shao's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Lu Yunzhou, his eyes conveying a clear "Did you see that?" message.

The guy picked up the second piece.

The grinding wheel turned again, and stone chips flew up again.

This time it was cut open even faster. After rinsing, the cut surface was grayish-white, clean, and there was nothing there.

"It's ruined."

Young Master Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he shrugged: "Just a piece of junk."

The third piece.

The waiter cuts the noodles and rinses them with water.

The light purple base reflects the light, and it has some cotton filling, but it's good enough to ship.

"It's gone up again!"

The crowd began to stir; some clapped, others clicked their tongues in disapproval.

The fourth piece, when cut open, revealed a thin layer of floating flowers.

The fifth piece, a grayish-white stone core, is waste material.

Of the five items, three have increased in price and two have decreased.

Feng Shao stood with his hands behind his back, looking as relaxed as if he were taking a stroll in his own yard.

"Three out of five".

He tilted his head at Lu Yunzhou, "Your turn, bro. Feeling the pressure?"

Qi Yufei clenched his fists behind him, his throat dry, and turned to look at Feng Qianyi.

Feng Qianyi's expression remained unchanged, but her gaze remained fixed on Lu Yunzhou's back.

"Let's open it."

Lu Yunzhou took a step back and put his hands in his pockets.

The man picked up the first piece of material, attached the grinding wheel to it, and the buzzing sound filled the ears again.

The onlookers held their breath, craning their necks as far as they could.

During the few seconds that the cut surface was rinsed with water, the entire courtyard was so quiet that only the sound of flowing water could be heard.

Then, when the light shone on it, a rich emerald green color appeared on the cut surface, indicating excellent water content, making it lustrous and translucent.

"Holy crap! All green?!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Even a few old hands who were leaning against the wall smoking and didn't care much in the corner stood up straight and tiptoed to look this way.

Young Master Feng's lips drooped down an inch.

The worker sped up his work and put the second piece on the machine.

After the grinding wheel has finished grinding, rinse with water.

A violet background is reflected on the cut surface, the color is even, and the base is delicate.

"It's gone up again!"

"Both stocks went up... What kind of luck does this kid have?"

The third piece.

The waiter took the knife.

Lu Yunzhou stood to the side, his face expressionless, not even taking his hand out of his pocket.

Rinse with water.

The cut surface reveals a layer of glutinous rice-like base with a hint of green.

Three increases.

Feng Shao's smile vanished completely.

He stood up straight, pulled his hands out of his pockets, crossed them in front of his chest, pressed his fingertips against the inside of his arms, and tensed his joints.

"There are two left."

Lu Yunzhou spoke casually, as if he were saying the weather was nice today.

The fourth board is used.

The grinder had been turning for less than half a minute when the guy stopped and rinsed it with water.

A touch of bright green seeped into the center of the cut surface; though small, it was clean and clear.

The price increased fourfold.

A buzz of discussion began in the courtyard, the murmurs growing louder and louder.

"All four have been shipped? What kind of eyesight do you have?"

"Could it be a plant? It doesn't seem like it..."

"Young Master Feng has met his match this time."

Qi Yufei's palms were sweaty, and he was tense like a string, not daring to blink.

The worker picked up the last piece and put it onto the grinding wheel.

Feng Shao stared at the rock, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

The grinding wheel cuts to the bottom.

Water rushes up, and light shines down.

The cut surface has a smooth, icy base with light green flecks, clean and translucent.

Five yuan, all prices have risen.

The courtyard was quiet for a full three seconds, then a cacophony of noise surged in from all directions.

"All five prices have increased!"

"I've been in this business for twelve years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a perfect 5 out of 5!"

"What kind of monster is this guy?!"
