Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Not Even a Spot of Green, Let Alone Jadeite Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Not Even a Spot of Green, Let Alone Jadeite It seemed that ever since Gu Qiaoqiao had returned to the Gu Family, the chances of seeing her had really become fewer and fewer.

Fortunately, they were all young; otherwise, if it were always like this, when could she ever become a grandmother?

Gu Qiaoqiao went to Yubao Square.

Everything here remained the same.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked towards Tian Family’s shop, which was just like any other day.

Tian Sanxian, that old lady with a gloomy expression.

Who knows how many benefits she had gained by helping Ning Wanru harm others.

However, their good days were almost coming to an end.

Three days had swiftly passed.

Antique Street was bustling on this day.

The Tian Family’s eldest son’s antique shop had been sued for selling a fake item to a wealthy merchant from out of town.

And because of buying this fake item, the Tian Family’s eldest son’s antique shop had nearly invested everything they had.

Perhaps this shop could not continue anymore.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the Gu Family’s Jade Mine.

Head Miner Wei had people transport the excavated stones to the surface.

This was also a rule after the transaction.

Then formally, he had the most experienced master cutter proceed with the cutting.

The first gemstone was to be stored away.

This master had been working at the Jade Mine for decades and was extremely experienced.

Although the mine’s current head miners were all people brought in by Gu Cheng himself, some of the workers and masters could not possibly all be brought back from the Imperial Capital.

Besides, there weren’t any suitable candidates to accompany him either.

So when he took over the Jade Mine, he had received these masters and workers as well.

And these masters and workers didn’t really show much fluctuation.

Because they knew that Gu Cheng was the Old Patriarch’s son.

They just thought that the Old Patriarch was getting old and couldn’t manage everything anymore, so he thought of handing over the entire Jade Mine to his son Gu Cheng.

And these changes had absolutely no impact on them.

The master’s hands were very rugged.

He crouched in front of the pile of rocks and scanned around temporarily frowning slightly.

For some reason, based on his decades of experience, he felt that there was something odd about these stones.

He soon discovered what was off.

The characteristics that used to signify Jade Rough Stones weren’t showcased in these rocks at all.

It was as if they had dug in the wrong place.

That couldn’t be, he had also gone down into the mine shaft.

He had also witnessed with his own eyes how that little cart after little cart of Jade Rough Stones were excavated from beneath the granite.

There should be no problem.

Perhaps his eyes were just getting blurry.

The master comforted himself this way.

Then, he no longer hesitated.

It is often said, one cut makes you poor, another might make you rich, or another may leave you in tatters.

The Jade Rough Stones here have the possibility of containing jade at 90%.

It’s just about how good the quality is.

He picked up a rock that, to his eye, should yield Jadeite.

Then he sprinkled it with water and started cutting into it bit by bit.

This is also called windowing.

The excited Gu Cheng watched from the side, and Gu Jiansheng also became interested.

It was his first time witnessing such a scene.

Unfortunately, the rock chosen by the master contained nothing at all.

It was just an ordinary rock, not a hint of green.

The master’s brows furrowed even tighter.

Something was not right.

Gu Cheng asked the master, “What’s the matter? Why is there nothing at all?”

The master shook his head.

Perhaps, there was something wrong with that rock.

So, he had his apprentice bring up a few other rocks he had initially picked.

Then cut them open in the same manner.

Still, there was nothing.

Let alone Jadeite, there wasn’t even a green speck.
