Chapter Twenty-Four: The Disappearance of the Ice Species Jade

  The screeching sound of the wheel and the whetstone rubbing against each other came in vain.

  Very soon, a smooth cutting surface appeared on the side of that piece of wool fabric weighing over ten kilograms, but inside it was still black stone, without even a green shadow. The buyer's face sank and he said: "Continue to wipe!"

  The machine started again, cutting and grinding the raw stone. As time passed, the thickness of the rough material gradually decreased.

  In the end, it was all for nothing, and those tens of thousands of dollars were just a waste of money!

  The buyer looked very unhappy and cursed at the broken stone before turning around and leaving.

  Arriving at Tao Bao's place, the boss asked as usual: "Little girl, how would you like to start?"

  "Rub it gently from this side, don't make too big a movement." Tao Baobao said, pointing to one side of the fabric.

  "Alright!"

  As the wool fabric approached the cutting machine, Tao Bao's heart beat faster and more violently.

  One knife can make you poor, one knife can make you rich; whether a wealthy person's dream comes true depends on this one knife.

  "Green! Green! Green!......" Tao Baobao held her breath, praying for the appearance of a green cut surface.

  One slash! Two slashes! Three slashes!

  The volume of the yellowish-brown small fur was getting smaller and smaller, Tao Bao deeply breathed in, anxiously closed her eyes, and waited for the result to arrive.

  But unexpectedly, the expected gasps of surprise did not come from the crowd's mouths, but instead sighs followed one after another.

  Tao Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he opened his eyes to look at the wool. When the pile of discarded wool scraps entered his line of sight, his brain was instantly filled with countless question marks. "How could this be? Where is the Ice Jade? Wasn't it in this smallest piece of wool? Did my supervisor deceive me?"

  "It shouldn't be!" Taobao rubbed his temples to calm himself down. "The smallest wool? The smallest? Wait a minute! This 'smallest' should just be a metaphor, if you rely on the naked eye, it's hard to distinguish which piece is the smallest in this pile of wool!"

  Thinking of this, Tao Baobao started looking for her target again.

  One, two, three, four, five.

  There are five pieces in total! The icy green jade should be among these five pieces!

  This time it's definitely wrong!

  Feeling the remaining money in his backpack, it was still enough for him to gamble a few more times.

  "Boss, how much is this one?" Taobao picked out another small black jade from the pile of stones, which was only smaller than the previous one.

  One thousand.

  Tao Bao paid him without hesitation: "Just wipe it off and leave."

  The black wool finally revealed its true identity under the expectant gaze of Tao Bao's classmates.

  Empty!

  There's nothing inside!

  "Come on! Give me that piece!"

  "I don't believe it," Tao Baobao bought all the remaining small pieces of wool.

  But all of them were completely wiped out without exception!

  That ice-type Jadeite is actually not among these five pieces!

  Taobao was stunned, staring blankly at the pile of rubbish, his mood plummeting to an all-time low.

  Was his boss lying from the start? Has this place never sold any ice-type jadeite at all?

  Or is it said that the so-called "smallest" should still float up a bit, and it's seven or eight taels of wool?

  "But I don't have enough money to buy those seven or eight jin of materials." Tao Baobao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

  What's going on? Just give up like this?

  Just then, the boss received a phone call, frowned and said a few words, then ordered Xiao Gong to put away the cutting machine, and said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something to do. Let's stop here for now and continue at 3 pm this afternoon, sorry."
