Lee Minghao was already holding a grudge against Ma Laosan. When he heard him still dare to swear and taunt him, he sneered, "You said it."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands at the people around him. "Everyone heard it, right? Ma said that if I cut something out, he would eat the stone. Please be the witness."
"Yo, so arrogant?"
"Alright, brat, you cut straight. Everyone is watching!"
The crowd of people who were watching the show immediately started to jeer.
Ma Laosan did not expect Lee Minghao to still dare to insult him. He immediately snorted and glared at him.
Lee Minghao only thought that he did not see it. He turned around and nodded at the stone cutter, indicating for him to continue grinding.
"Start from the left. Be careful not to hurt it."
The stone cutter looked at him suspiciously, then he changed the grinding wheel and started to grind the stone.
After a few seconds, the stone under the light suddenly flashed with a green light.
"It’s green!"
"Good heavens, it really came out?"
"This time, Ma Laosan really ate the stone."
"Aiya, I remember now. This material seems to have been thrown away by Ma Laosan before. Then, he found someone to put it back. I was wondering what he was going to do with it. It turns out that he went to cheat people."
"Hehe, I saw it too. I just don't know what Ma Laosan is feeling right now."
"I don’t care what he feels. I just want to see how this old brat is going to eat the stone."
Hearing the people around him teasing him, Ma Laosan's face darkened.
The stone cutter changed the sand and polished it for a while, and the material showed some clues. Although it was not as glossy as the cowhide, it was still a bit pale.
"The water is quite good, and there is no cotton. Hiss, this kid is really lucky."
"I saw that the material could be carved into a bracelet, and it could even be made into a pendant. Tsk tsk, it should be worth at least a few hundred thousand."
Those who knew the industry couldn't help but mutter.
Lee Minghao heard this and was tempted to say something, but his phone suddenly vibrated.
He took it out and looked at it. He saw a line of small words on the screen.
"You have a system message that you haven't checked yet."
The surrounding people who were watching the commotion started to shout one after another. Lee Minghao felt a headache from the noise. With so many people around, he was worried that someone would see through it, so he didn't open the message. Instead, he looked at Ma Laosan beside him.
"Ma Laosan, you are a gangster. I don't need you to teach me the principle of one mouthful of saliva and one nail. Why aren't you eating? What are you waiting for?" Lee Minghao sneered and said.
It was rare for him to argue with this hooligan, so he directly asked him to fulfill his promise.
Ma Laosan had always thought of himself as someone like Guan Yunchang, so when he heard this, his face turned purple and he couldn't get down.
He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He couldn't help but curse Lee Minghao in his heart. He wanted to teach him a lesson, but at the same time, he was thinking of an excuse to fool them.
"Young man, if you let him eat such a good material, wouldn't it be a waste of God’s good intentions?" A voice came from the crowd, "How about you give me a price? I want it all. How about it?"
Lee Minghao hesitated for a moment.
He was indeed in need of money now. Whether it was for his life or to help his parents redress their grievances, he needed to earn a large sum of money in the near future.
Ma Laosan saw that he was hesitating, so he rolled his eyes and secretly gave his subordinate a look. Then, he took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention and sneaked out of the crowd.
"Three hundred thousand. How about it?" Seeing that Lee Minghao did not speak, the man took a few steps forward and said, "Little brother, you have a sharp eye. It is better not to let the beautiful jade get dirty."
Hearing this price, Lee Minghao did not care about Ma Laosan anymore. He raised his head and looked at the person who spoke. He realized that it was one of the people who had cheered for him when he was cutting out the rock. Thinking about how this person had been mocking him and praising him for his ability, he could not help but feel disdain for him.
This person seemed to have seen through Lee Minghao's thoughts. He smiled awkwardly and was about to explain when a young, yet strong voice came from the side.
"I'll pay four hundred thousand."
As the voice came out, a young man who was about the same age as Lee Minghao walked over. He had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Lee Minghao and was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "So it's you."
Lee Minghao felt that the voice was familiar. When he heard it, the figure of Ma Laosan coughing in the alley appeared in his mind.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the person helping him out, Lee Minghao would have definitely been beaten up by the hoodlums.
He couldn't help but feel grateful to the person.
"Sure, 400,000. The stone is yours." Lee Minghao nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Wait! I'll pay 500,000!" The person who had shouted looked at Lee Minghao unhappily and said, "Little brother, why? Are you afraid that I can't pay the price? I haven't even said anything yet, and you want to sell it to him?"
"This stone is mine. Who does it have to do with you?" Lee Minghao looked at the middle-aged jade merchant who had mocked him mercilessly and choked him.
