Chapter 800 - 800: Public Betting
This time, the public betting was divided into two parts. A large area was carved out outside the manor and rented to some small vendors. Of course, those were not just emerald jade stalls. There was basically food, drinks, and everything else.
Nangong Jue, Le Yao and Hao Kai were in their disguises. As long as one wasn’t especially familiar with them, one wouldn’t be able to recognize them at a glance.
As soon as she got out of the car, Le Yao sniffed. “It smells sweet.” Then she saw the roasted pineapple seller.
Ordinary roasted pineapples were roasted with honey in the oven, but here, they were roasted on an iron plate like pancakes. There was a fragrant and sweet smell everywhere, and it looked very good.
Le Yao ordered three sticks without hesitation and gave one to Tao Qing and Hao Kai each.
“Madam Jue, why don’t Brother Jue and the others have it?” Hao Kai was quite happy. “Am I more important?”
“These things are for women and children to eat.” Le Yao rolled her eyes at him. “How can men eat this?”
Tao Qing burst out laughing.
Hao Kai was speechless.
Suddenly, the pineapple in his mouth was no longer sweet. He was a man, not a child.
To enter the manor, one had to pay a deposit. However, this deposit was also divided into two levels. The lowest level was 100,000 USD. This could only be used to wander around the courtyard and could not enter the hall.
The deposit to enter the hall was a million USD.
Yuan Bin went over and paid a million USD in exchange for six red bracelets. When entering and leaving, there was a sensor at the entrance that could identify people.
The $100,000 would get a yellow bracelet. It could only be used to enter the courtyard, but it could not be used to enter the dazzling main building in the middle of the courtyard.
Nangong Jue accompanied Le Yao around the stalls outside the courtyard first and didn’t buy anything. In the end, Le Yao and Tao Qing each bought a skewer of roasted pineapple to eat.
Le Yao even spent a hundred yuan to buy a fist-sized stone. “When we open this, it might give us supreme-grade imperial jade.”
“That would be a miracle.” Nangong Jue smiled and nodded.
“Actually, I’ve never understood. These are all raw stones. I can’t even see inside. How can I tell if they’re good or bad?” Le Yao didn’t know much about stone gambling. She had learned about it through books and videos when she worked as a tour guide, but she had never come into contact with the real ones. “You can judge it just by its appearance? It feels quite unbelievable.”
“Actually, there are two types of raw jade stones. They’re raw jade ores and seed ores. In other words, they’re what we often call mountain ores and seed ores. Mountain ores don’t have outer skins and are directly mined. They don’t belong to stone gambling. Stone gambling is usually about seed ores.
Usually, there’s raw or weathered skin. It’s called stone gambling because you can’t see the jade inside…” Nangong Jue explained some information about raw jade ores and stone gambling to Le Yao as they walked. “Experts will judge if there’s green inside through leather shells, pine flowers, and so on… This is why so many people are flocking to it. It’S precisely because they don’t know that it’s very exciting to become rich overnight and destitute overnight.”
“How do you know everything?” Le Yao’s eyes were sparkling..
