Chapter 217 – Playing tricks on the pretty-boy (5)
It shouldn’t be this way, in theory, this young lady’s choice was from a pretty good raw material. How could there not be a single crystal stone? This was really too unbelievable.
“Quickly cut it, what are you doing still staring distractedly about?” Someone anxiously said.
“If it has it, then it is there. If it doesn’t have it, then it’s not there. Even if you hesitate for a short period of time, a crystal stone not being inside it would unexpectedly change to there being one. So don’t delay and cut down with your knife.” This person’s meaning was clearly that the earlier his demise, the earlier his rebirth.
Hou San’s heart was still very tangled and confused. However, under the pressure and force of thousands of eyes, he continued to cut the stones….
“Nothing…Cutting six lumps of pretty good raw materials in succession and still can’t find a single crystal stone.”
“Right, if we were to buy these from Hou San’s shop, then we would have lost really badly. Fortunately, this old man was just looking around and didn’t randomly make a purchase.”
“That’s right. It seems like this batch of Hou San’s raw materials aren’t very good.”
The numerous sounds of discussion spread to Hou San’s ears. It made him so angry that he almost started to shout out loud. The person here who was restraining the most aggravation was him, Hou San, okay?
You guys don’t spend money and are only here to watch the fun. But this uncle spent money to invite you all to watch the fun and still has to listen to your derision. Who did this uncle provoke and stir up for things end up like this!
Naturally Hou San only dared to say these words in his heart. If you really wanted him to say it out loud, as if he was courageous enough?
Now, Su Luo wrinkled her brows, as if she was unhappy. She waved her sleeves and casually said: “Forget it, forget it. Your luck is really bad. Such good source stones in your hands, and couldn’t even cut out a single crystal stone. Forget it, don’t cut it. I don’t want to cut more.”
Hou San immediately became worried, with a sobbing voice, he said: “Great aunt, it’s not my hands that have bad luck. It’s this source stone that just don’t have any crystal stones. What can I do!” He was also innocent okay?
Su Luo mockingly and sarcastically raised her eyebrows, and unhurriedly said: “Oh, then your meaning is that your batch of source stones’ quality is not very good?”
Hou San was immediately at a loss for words, how could this young lady’s words be so sharp?
Finished, once again, he had been successfully attacked. This young lady was indeed attacking with a spear while defending with a shield. No matter what was said, the one out of luck was him, Hou San!
“But, Miss….you must let this lowly one finish cutting the rest of the stones, all right?” Now, Hou San was not afraid if Su Luo took advantage of him. He only seeked to cut out a crystal stone, trying to retrieve some confidence for the customers of his shop.
Su Luo’s thin eyebrows moved slightly: “Cut all of them? If it was all cut to nothing by you? Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you are not living well, just cut another one then.”
Su Luo used her toes to kick a source stone that rolled into his arms: “Okay, don’t gripe so much, just cut this one. If it has it, it’s there. If it doesn’t have it, then it’s not there.”
Holding this good quality source stone, Hou San’s heart became delighted: “Good! Then it’s agreed!” This source stone had all kinds of spots, bands and colored patches. Also, the lines were clear at first glance, and you could tell it had a high probability of having a crystal stone. This piece was clearly selected by that girl from among the highest grade raw materials pile.
Hou San right now became a little more cautious and careful. His gaze was serious and cautious as he looked at this piece of source stone for a while. Then, he fixed the stone onto the cutting machine.
He measured it once in all directions. Finally he decided to follow along the band to start cutting from the upper left.
Normally, following the direction of the band was the direction of the crystal stone.
All the surrounding people were also infected by Hou San’s caution and seriousness. Everyone held their breath in rapt attention, both eyes full of lively spirit. All of their expectations were placed on this piece of source stone. .
The knife descended and the dust flew upwards.
After waving aside the dust particles, almost everyone’s gaze was concentrated on that evenly cut opening.
Thanks for the chapter =)
Thanks for the chapter!
Aargh! A cliff. Why? Why?
Thanks for the chapter.
I feel these chapters are getting shorter and shorter. And since they’re in such small pieces every piece is a hanger.
aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND nothing was inside!! <—- best guess XD
Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!
Damn an entire chapter on stone cutting. ….
Wow. i think this is the meanest thing she has done. Everyone else she plotted against wished her ill will. This guy though while not upstanding, hardly did anything bad. Just defamed one guy (accurately) supposedly to get more people to his place, and a bit of a loose mouth that got him she latched onto.
Then again, easy prey is easy prey for her I guess.
Well. Unless I forgot something at the start of this. Still, it was minor right? and she is essentially ruining his livelyhood
Thanks for the chapter!
