Chapter 301 Selling Stones
Sun Yu was pondering how to get rich, marry a beautiful woman, and most importantly, have a son to go to school.
Lin Liuyi's invitation finally arrived. Sun Yu didn't care whether it was miraculous or not; all he wanted to know was whether the stone was valuable.
When Sun Yu saw that magical book, her first thought was whether the stones in her house also contained jade.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the superpowers of the protagonist in the book, and can't see through the inside of the stone.
Fortunately, he chose to reward stones at that time. He was right. If he could write such a magical book, he must also have the magical ability to identify stones.
Therefore, after Lin Liuyi briefly explained the situation, he immediately asked the question.
"So, is there jade inside that stone?"
Upon receiving Lin Liuyi's affirmative answer, a surge of joy welled up in Sun Yu's heart; he had found a way to get rich.
"So, you didn't know it was a jadeite rough stone at first?"
Seeing the reader's delighted expression, Lin Liu realized that the reader hadn't known it was a raw jade stone when they gave her the reward.
"I'm just giving it a try." Sun Yu shook his head and explained his situation.
At the time, he was just trying it out, since to be honest, there wasn't anything of value at home that he could give as a reward.
"Then I can only return half of it to you."
Lin Liu felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard that the other party's mother was sick and the family was so poor that they couldn't afford a doctor.
The system has already cut away half of this precious jadeite rough, so she can no longer return a complete one to the other party.
Sun Yu thought that knowing the value of the jadeite rough would make him nod in agreement, but to his surprise, the other party shook his head and said no need.
"Why don't you take it first, exchange it for some money, and then find a doctor to treat your mother's illness?" Lin Liuyi looked at the other person disapprovingly.
"It's okay, I said I don't need it, and I mean it. I have plenty at home." Sun Yu shook her head and revealed the truth.
Lin Liuyi became curious. It would be understandable if the primitive tribe in Yue had a lot of jadeite rough, but why did Sun Yu have so many here as well?
Next, Sun Yu led Lin Liu to look around the house. The stone on the pickle jar, the stone that looked like a stool at the entrance of the kitchen, and the stones piled up in the corner all seemed to be raw jade stones. He wondered how there could be so many stones in a thatched hut.
Sun Yu scratched his head. "When my dad was alive, he would pick up a stone every time he came home. Later, I picked up stones on my way to school. Eventually, I picked up so many that they piled up together. My dad even said that we could use these stones to build a courtyard wall!"
Lin Liuyi thought to himself: Using jade to build courtyard walls, how extravagant!
Sun Yu said he was also relieved that his father hadn't taken any action; if so many jadeite rough stones had been used to build the courtyard wall, he would have been heartbroken.
After learning that the other party had so many jadeite rough stones, Lin Liuyi was no longer worried.
At this moment, Sun Yu made a request: he hoped that Lin Liuyi could help him provide a set of stone-cutting tools.
After all, although Lin Liuyi said there was jade inside, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes yet.
This was a piece of cake, of course. Lin Liuyi readily sent the other party a set of stone-cutting tools, along with an instruction manual.
Sun Yu was so excited that he danced around, eager to cut a stone open with his own hands.
To do this, he chose a palm-sized stone and followed the instructions step by step, chiseling and rubbing the stone until he finally managed to completely dismantle it.
Unexpectedly, the stone that Sun Yu unearthed turned out to be a blue jade.
Blue jadeite, usually refers to a rare variety of jadeite that exhibits a blue hue, also known as "blue water jadeite".
The base color of Blue Jade is not pure azure, but a blue that blends gray tones and light blue, as if it captures the tranquility of the deep sea undercurrents, the hazy distant mountains after the rain, or the misty haze of the twilight sky.
This blue is understated yet possesses a profound sense of mystery, and when it shimmers in the light, it subtly reveals a cool, clear luster like lake water.
The blue jade in Sun Yu's hand is clearly a high-quality piece, with a delicate texture like solidified fat and high transparency.
With a subtle color transition, it gradually deepens from the light blue-gray at the edge to the center, like a drop of ink slowly spreading in a celadon bowl, creating a natural ink painting effect.
Calm and wise.
Sun Yu could imagine how many literati and scholars would admire this piece of jade if it were taken out.
Blue Jade's grayish-blue hue matches the "indigo" color in traditional aesthetics, and the "sky blue after rain" glaze of Ru ware can be compared to it, carrying the classical and understated aesthetic spirit.
Sun Yu played with the stone in his hand with great affection. How could he not have known before that such a beautiful thing could be hidden in such a dull stone?
He was reluctant to sell them, and at the same time, he was even more eager to see what kind of beautiful scenery might be hidden inside the other stones.
In the end, Sun Yu decided to sell the blue jade for the money.
Sure enough, when he took it to the jewelry store, it caught the shopkeeper's attention.
"May I ask, young master, how did you obtain this gemstone?" Blue gemstones are extremely rare. The blue jade that Sun Yu brought was not as transparent as a sapphire. Instead, its misty texture resembled a mysterious veil hidden inside the stone.
The shopkeeper has already figured out how to carve it; this stone is simply too beautiful.
"It's a family heirloom!" Sun Yu wasn't wrong; it was indeed a family heirloom, just wrapped in a layer of skin.
The two sides went back and forth, and in the end, Sun Yu actually sold it for a high price of one thousand taels.
He was fairly satisfied, after all, there was still a pile of unsolved stones at his house.
The shopkeeper was satisfied. This kind of stone was a first. Once it was delivered to the capital, it would sell for not only a thousand taels, but ten thousand taels.
Since both parties are satisfied, the deal is definitely done.
Sun Yu took the silver and left. The shopkeeper didn't forget to tell him that if he found the same stone again, he should definitely come back to them, and he would give Sun Yu a good price.
Sun Yu decided not to sell stones here for a while, because if they sold too many, they would start to doubt where they got their stones from.
Upon receiving the silver, Sun Yu's first step was to call a doctor for his mother.
"Yu'er, I'm better now, I don't need to see a doctor!" Sun Yu's mother was afraid of spending money, so she quickly told the doctor to leave.
"Mom, don't worry, we're rich now! I just sold a stone that Dad picked up!"
"Yu'er, you've probably been scammed. That's just an ordinary stone, what's it worth?" Sun Yu's mother didn't believe it.
Sun Yu thought to himself: Those are not ordinary stones; they are priceless stones.
After much persuasion, his mother finally believed that the pile of stones was so valuable when she saw the silver.
"Why don't you move everything back and lock it up?"
That was a huge sum of money, just sitting there in the yard. Sun Yu's mother felt she couldn't sleep peacefully anymore.
