Chapter 234 The Origin of Jie Cuixing
Gu Chen himself didn't realize that he had unconsciously regarded Funina as his woman.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
With his relationship with Funina at this stage, Gu Chen couldn't possibly give her up to anyone else! She was already a taboo for Gu Chen!
In this way, Gu Chen and Paimon continued to accompany Funina for the rest of the time.
Funina visited a lot, played a lot, saw a lot, and had friends to accompany her. She was really happy.
Before they knew it, they had wandered from Yujingtai to Feiyunpo, and from Feiyunpo to Chihuyan.
This needs some explanation.
This time they were shopping and just took a quick look around, not taking in any details, so they went through so quickly.
This is also what Funina planned.
She planned to familiarize herself with the route first, get an overall impression of Liyue Harbor, and then experience it in detail.
There is another benefit to doing this, which is...
Funina will not stay for just a few days this time, she will probably stay for a long time.
During this period, if Funina wanted to go out and play, she couldn't ask Gu Chen and Paimeng to accompany her every time. They must have other things to do.
So, when Gu Chen and Paimon were unable to accompany her, Funina had to act alone.
She won't get lost or not know where to go.
Gu Chen didn't know what to say about Funina's idea.
It was actually quite considerate of him, and inevitably showed some intelligence and foresight.
However, this rare intelligence and talent was all used for playing!
Fufu, you really are...
Forget it, Gu Chen didn’t plan to say anything about Funina.
In a sense, this kind of Funina might be better.
This kind of Furninna shows that she has gotten rid of her past bad mental state.
What was Fu Fu’s state like before?
I have been performing the story all day long, with no hope in sight and I am forced to move forward. My spirit has completely collapsed.
With Gu Chen as her confidant and after Gu Chen's constant companionship, what is her mental state now?
It can be said that Funina's mental state has returned to normal.
At most, it is a little fragile and needs constant care.
Such a big improvement is all thanks to Gu Chen.
So Gu Chen saw it very clearly.
He knew that he couldn't ask too much of Funina, and just wanted her to stay happy and content.
With Gu Chen by Funina's side, there will be no problem.
Just as Gu Chen was thinking about this, they unknowingly arrived in front of Shitou's Jie Cuixing.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Jie Cui Hang is actually gambling on stones!
Shi Tou, the owner of Jie Cui Hang, used to run ordinary businesses such as jewelry and jade.
But they were unlucky. Some time ago, the rock formation where the raw materials of the jade ore were produced was sealed off, and those of them who were running the jewelry business were greatly affected.
There was no other way. When you are poor, you have to think of changes. Shitou had no choice but to change the way he ran his business.
He changed from selling gemstones and jade to directly selling raw stones.
The so-called raw stones are actually the raw ores of various minerals and gemstones.
The outer layer of the raw ore is covered with a layer of natural rock skin, making it difficult to see what is inside.
In this situation of seeing flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, we can judge the value of the mineral inside the rough stone.
After making a good judgment or guess, you can bid to buy the rough stone.
Then, we will open it on the spot in this jade-breaking business to see what can be found inside.
By the way, the price of raw stones is not low either.
And what you get...mostly depends on luck.
Some masters are experienced and can see some clues through the stone skin on the surface of the rough stone, and thus to a certain extent, explore the information inside the rough stone.
However, to what extent this is a certain extent is really debatable.
Therefore, gambling on stones has become a form of gambling to a great extent.
One cut can make you rich or poor. After the knife is cut to open the rough stone, no one knows whether it is a loss or a profit until the ore inside is completely exposed to the sun.
Some people are extremely lucky and get gems of extremely high quality.
The value of this rough stone will increase greatly, and this person will make a lot of money, which usually makes people jealous!
Most people have bad luck, and the stones they get out are really average, the ore inside is of poor quality, or there is even just rock inside without any ore.
This is a typical loss.
People who encounter this situation usually feel very regretful, even to the point of beating their chests and stamping their feet.
People are all greedy.
Many people only see the price increase and some lucky people making a lot of money.
They can’t see that most people lose money, and almost all of the money they lose goes into the pocket of Shi Tou, the unscrupulous businessman!
Uh... Shi Tou can't be considered a profiteer.
After all, the money he earns is legal and compliant. It is really amazing that he can come up with this way of doing business. It is his ability to make such money.
Having said that, it is precisely because people are so eager to increase the value of the stone, to make a lot of money, and to get something for nothing that so many people come here to cut the rough stones.
Stone, and therefore made a lot of money.
As this business developed, many people were no longer concerned about whether they could make money or not.
Many people play for the excitement.
The fun part is the thrill of cutting through the rough stone and then finally deciding the outcome!
So, gambling on stones, gambling on stones, contains the word "gamble", and has the nature of gambling.
It is said that after the business of rough stone became prosperous, many people became jealous and many businessmen began to follow suit. Stalls and shops similar to Jie Cuihang continued to emerge like mushrooms after a rain.
Buy whatever is on sale.
The opening of similar shops attracted many people who wanted to get rich overnight to come in and mine raw stones.
Gradually, there are more and more such shops.
Gradually, more and more people started to open rough stones and gamble on them, and many of them dreamed of getting rich overnight.
The Liyue officials were keenly aware of this.
After discussion, they believed that this business was highly gambling in nature and was not particularly legal.
Moreover, if this kind of business continues to develop on a large scale and everyone goes to gamble on stones, it will disrupt the normal market order of Liyue.
So, the Liyue official took action later.
Under the strong crackdown of official forces, many similar stores were forced to close.
There was only Shitou Jie Cui Hang, because it was the first stall to do this business. The Liyue official didn't want to kill it completely, so they kept Shitou.
From then until now, Shi Tou's Jie Cui business has been going on.
At most... due to the official control of Liyue, there are not so many people who open raw stones and gamble on them, and it is not as easy to make money from stones as it was at the beginning.
But it’s okay, the profit is not small, and I feel at ease behind the scenes.
So, when she arrived at Jie Cui Xing and heard that this was the way to play there, Funina's eyes lit up and she was eager to try it.
