Chapter 231 - 145: Gambling on Stones (2)_2
At this point, the first batch of rough jade had been sold off, fetching around seventy guan.
Immediately after, the second batch was presented on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen..." the stall owner ascended the stage, just about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by the exclamation of the master cutting the stone nearby.
"Congratulations to Young Master Yang! Well done!" The stone-cutter handed a pigeon-egg-sized piece of jade to Young Master Yang, sighing, "Such a large piece with such high quality, Young Master Yang’s spending of twenty guan was not in vain! Even if you were to take this uncarved piece of rough jade to a jewelry store, you could easily fetch around forty guan for it! Plus these two smaller pieces, you’ve truly made a fortune."
Only then did a smile of joy appear on Young Master Yang’s face as he clasped his hands and returned the courtesies to the people thanking him.
"Young Master Yang is really lucky!" the stall owner praised before announcing the start of the second round.
Ran Yun also participated, competing with others for the piece of stone she had her eye on. Initially, Young Master Yang, who had won before, bid against her, and perhaps because everyone thought he was an expert, they all followed suit and bid. In the blink of an eye, the price of an inconspicuous stone had soared to twenty guan.
Ran Yun seemed determined to outbid him, but Ran Yan gently tugged at her and whispered with her head down, "Any more and we’ll be losing money."
Hearing the mention of a loss, Ran Yun immediately reined in her desires, glaring at the man in green robes, Young Master Yang, and reluctantly gave up.
The second batch of rough jade was quickly sold out, and Ran Yun managed to secure the last piece of the second batch for six guan.
