Chapter 572 - There is Jade
Chapter 572: There is Jade
When they heard that a stone was going to be broken, everyone immediately gathered around to see what was going on.
When they found out it was the giant stone that had been sitting there for months, everyone became even more curious, their eyes glowing.
After Brother Tong made a big deal, he looked at Xia Xibei with a more amiable expression.
He didn’t expect this girl to really be so rich!
The surname Xia…
Could she be the daughter of the Xia family? They seemed to have a daughter who was also a teenager, and the girl was a similar age.
But did the Xia family dare to spend money like this?
Even the Li family did not dare to play like this. Where did the Xia family get the gumption?
However, he didn’t think too much about it.
As long as there was money coming in, he was fine with it.
The rock cutting master came over with his tools, asking, “Miss Xia, how do you want to break it?”
Xia Xibei circled around the rock, then drew a circle at a certain area.
“Leave this place out.”
People were even more curious now. How could she be so confident?
“OK.”
The master didn’t think too much about it. It was Xia Xibei’s uncut rock anyway.
He and his apprentice began to use tools to cut out the rock, next to the circled part.
After an hour of working away and dust flying around, the huge rock finally had a large part of it removed.
Looking at the rock’s surface, which was not different from that of ordinary stones, everyone’s expression was complicated.
They were a little disappointed, but also had a “sure enough” feeling.
The smile on the corner of Li Weiyun’s mouth grew deeper and deeper, but at the same time, she was relieved.
Luckily, she hadn’t bought this piece of uncut rock. Otherwise, it would have been a great loss!
Thinking of this, she glanced at Uncle Zhang smugly.
Uncle Zhang’s eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was complicated.
Xia Xibei, however, was not disappointed. Under the dense gazes of the crowd, she drew another line on the piece of rock that had shrunk several times. It had turned from a giant rock to the size of two basketballs.
“Here.”
“Okay!”
The rock cutter was fine with it, of course.
Although they were quite tired, they did earn the money, so there was no need to save energy.
People’s whispers were getting louder, but it was all negative.
Someone couldn’t help but say, “Might as well just cut down the middle!”
“Fifty million yuan! Gone just like that!”
“What a pity!”
Although it had not yet reached the final stage of failure, by the looks of it, it did not seem like it could improve at all.
Xia Xibei ignored their talk and continued to stare at the rock cutter’s movements.
After ten minutes, the rock cutting master’s movements stopped, and after removing the crumbly material from the surface, he immediately exclaimed, “Fog! White fog!”
Everyone was in an uproar. It was foggy?! And it was white fog?!
“Fog” referred to a sub-layer between the outer layer and the inner layer. Once there was fog, it meant that there were original stones inside!
The probability of a treasure in the white fog was very high!
Originally, everyone thought that this was a piece of waste rock, but it had unexpectedly fogged up!
Li Weiyun’s gaze changed.
After seeing the white mist, there was no need for Xia Xibei to say more. The rock cutter knew what to do.
He changed his tool and started polishing the stone.
Everyone held their breaths and stared intently at his movements.
Brother Tong, however, noticed that while everyone else was nervous, Xia Xibei was calm, as if she already knew the result.
Thinking about the line she had just drawn, Brother Tong couldn’t help but be shocked.
Did she really see it, or did she guess it?!
Li Weiyun’s expression was even more tense as her eyes stared unblinkingly at the movements of the rock cutter.
After polishing for a while, someone exclaimed, “There is green!”
Once again, everyone was in an uproar. The green looked pure and clean!
After polishing an area clean, the rock cutter washed it with water, and the crowd was stunned.
“Glutinous specimen!”
“Imperial green?!”
