Salted fish amnesia small time pension harvest gold finger

The road conditions were indeed very bad. The closer we got to the mining area, the harder it was to drive on. There were potholes and puddles everywhere, and the car was shaking so much that it almost made our intestines pop out.

This mining area is very desolate and almost uninhabited. Why is it "almost"? Because there are exceptions.

There are some abandoned soil piles on both sides of the road near the mining company, which are waste soil discarded from mining.

Under the waste soil pile, there are some small sheds which are temporary shelters built by the people who pick up Yemuxi (freshly dug jade raw stones).

Further in, there are houses of various sizes on both sides of the road, some of which are surrounded by bamboo fences to form courtyards. Because there are many companies here, people who pick up stones have gradually formed a village here.

After passing through the village, they can see a large slope, which is the jade mining area, their destination for this trip.

It's not as peaceful here as it is in China, especially in the wild, where it's common for passing merchants to be robbed.

They were travelling in a convoy, with the mine owner's car leading the way.

In this area, relying on Zhao Shengli's car and reputation, basically no one would touch them. But safety comes first, Huo Zhensheng will not put his safety in the hands of others.

Their own cars have all been modified. Their performance is not yet clear, but the glass is bulletproof. There are weapons in the car, and each person is equipped with a wooden magazine.

Yun Tinglan also had a small handgun in her handbag, which was given to her by Huo Zhensheng. Fortunately, the journey was smooth.

When we arrived at the destination, the car was covered with a layer of mud.

Yun Tinglan didn't want to move. She regretted letting Huo Zhensheng ride with her like this. She even disliked him. What should she do with his mysophobia?

As she was thinking, Huo Zhensheng had already gotten out of the car with a gentleman's cane, stepped into the mud puddle without hesitation, and looked around as if looking for something.

Assistant Liu cleverly moved two wooden stools from the corner, opened the car door and placed them in the mud, motioning Yun Tinglan to step on them before getting down to avoid getting her feet covered in mud.

Yun Tinglan held her forehead with her hand. That wasn't what she meant, and she wasn't that hypocritical, but seeing the strange looks the guards were giving her...

Her reputation has been damaged!

Since this is the case, let’s just face it. Xianyu said he won’t take the blame.

The security was very strict. Although there was no direct body search, there were special detection equipment, so the wooden warehouses on Wang Wei and the others were temporarily taken away.

Yun Tinglan clenched her handbag tightly, her eyes flickering slightly. Her handbag was not ordinary, and the instrument could not even scan it.

After entering the big iron gate, Zhao Shengli was already waiting there, with five or six thugs following him.

Seeing Huo Zhensheng, Zhao Shengli enthusiastically opened his arms to hug him, then naturally put his hand on Huo Zhensheng's shoulder, laughed and led them into the wooden house, saying that he would do his best to be a good host.

Yun Tinglan looked around. The neat wooden house looked simple but the furniture inside was extraordinary. It was all made of Burmese teak and was very valuable.

Just by looking at the exquisite carvings, you can tell that it is the work of a famous artist. The back of the chair is actually inlaid with jadeite. Regardless of whether it is cool to sit on, the price is extremely good.

The jade they use is all top-quality jade. All I can say is, if you have a mine, you can do whatever you want.

That’s not all. The table top is made of black ice jadeite with excellent water quality, and the base price of this table is several million.

Yun Tinglan felt it was a great pity. If it were given to her, it would become a very artistic ink painting with a little polish.

If it were made into a screen, wouldn't it be more valuable than this dining table?

A lot of time was wasted on the road, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, long past mealtime, so Zhao Shengli arranged another banquet.

Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country. There were many specialties on the table, but Yun Tinglan was not familiar with many of them. It was not that she did not recognize the dishes, but she had never seen the way of eating them. Most of the area here is tropical, and the food is mainly sour, spicy, greasy, cold and fried.

Yun Tinglan could accept it, but Huo Zhensheng had a light diet, and the table full of dishes was really a mess, and she was angry for Huo Zhensheng.

She asked directly if they could have more rice. After listening to the translation, Zhao Shengli smiled and asked someone to bring another large bowl of white rice.

Knowing that Huo Zhensheng is a silent and taciturn person who doesn't like to talk unless necessary and doesn't have a strong appetite, he will definitely not take the initiative to say that the food is not to his taste. However, every time he eats the food from Myanmar in the past two days, his appetite is as small as a cat's.

Yun Tinglan picked out the dishes that Huo Zhensheng could eat, mixed them with some rice and pushed them in front of him, signaling with her eyes that he didn't want to just drink tea as it wouldn't satisfy his hunger.

Huo Zhensheng's expression remained unchanged, he just picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Special Assistant Liu was very smart. He could see the boss's excitement at a glance and silently poured the fish meat with the bones picked out in front of him into his own bowl.

A little sour, but still delicious!

Yun Tinglan enjoyed the crabs and peeled half a crab for Huo Zhensheng, and also pushed a plate of shredded ginger salad to him.

The crab meat is cold and goes well with shredded ginger.

She tasted the tamarind juice and found it delicious and appetizing, so she pushed a cup to him. However, when she lowered her head to pick up the food, she didn't notice that her hand tilted and just pushed the cup she had drunk to him.

Huo Zhensheng drank it as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't notice anything.

Special Assistant Liu lowered his head quickly. He didn't see anything and just kept eating. Well, the Burmese food tasted good.

However, Zhao Lan noticed something was wrong. Her eyes wandered between the two of them and suddenly met Huo Zhensheng's cold gaze.

My heart skipped a beat, and I realized that I had made a fool of myself. I muttered to myself: No wonder I ignored such a beautiful woman like her, that's why.

Zhao Shengli had already had lunch, but he still sat down to the table to show respect. However, he only had a tea salad in front of him. He sipped tea the whole time and praised the tea that Huo Zhensheng gave him.

It's hard for Huo Zhensheng, who sticks to the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, to still be able to greet people with a normal expression.

The tea that Huo Zhensheng sent was good tea, but it was not a Chinese treasure. However, it suited his taste, and Zhao Shengyu was very satisfied with it.

He also has his own channels and can buy top-quality Longjing tea in China, but being valued by others is always a pleasant thing.

The atmosphere here is harmonious and Zhao Lan doesn't care about being ignored.

It’s not the first day she knew that her elder brother didn’t like her, and she didn’t come here for her elder brother, but she didn’t expect...

That’s all.

He's just a cripple. Apart from his handsomeness which is her type and the fact that he's one of the richest men in China, everything else about him is just so-so, especially his bad temper. Who can stand him?

She thought a lot during this meal. Even though the man from the Bai family was fat, he was the heir after all and the only son in the family. If she married him, she would be the mistress of the family.

Although the old man ignored her, he would certainly not treat her badly in terms of dowry for the sake of his reputation. If she insisted on intervening to fight for the inheritance right which had no chance at all, she would be courting her own destruction.

On the contrary, if she married into the Bai family, her two brothers would definitely treat her well in order to win her over and get financial support from the Bai family.

After figuring everything out, Zhao Lan was too lazy to even look at Huo Zhensheng again. All she had eyes for was food. She was starving to death.

Chinese cheongsams are beautiful, but if you are hungry and eat a little more, your belly will be exposed.

Wang Wei and his friends were in another room, and the kitchen prepared two tables for them. Although there was wine, they didn't drink it. After they finished eating, they noticed the sound of cutting stones in the distance.

Knowing why Yun Tinglan and the others came, Zhao Shengli personally took them to see and introduced it.

It is the rainy season now and the mine is closed. The workers are washing and cutting stones in the warehouse.

The mines here contain not only jade but also gold. The upper layer is used to wash the stones with water to distinguish the jadeite raw stones from ordinary stones. The lower layer is for gold panning. The gold sand is panned out and put into a large pool to be screened out.

Seeing that Yun Tinglan and the others were not interested, he took them to the warehouse.

Take off your shoes and enter. You will see more than 200 stones of different sizes neatly arranged on the ground, which are clearly divided into different levels.

Generally speaking, workers will sort them while scrubbing, and then someone will sort them again.

The value of Category A items is over 100 million Myanmar Kyats, Category B items are definitely worth over 10 million, and Category C items are worth millions or even hundreds of thousands.

There are still quite a few kilograms of material.

There is also a basin of jadeite raw stones next to it, the skin of which is obviously not from this area.

Seeing Yun Tinglan's confusion, Zhao Shengli took the initiative to explain, "This is the material shipped from the mine in Nanqi."

Yun Tinglan understood that this was obviously prepared specially for them. She didn't even need Lingxi to scan it, she could tell with her naked eyes that the quality of these materials was extremely high.

There is a piece of fractured material. The rich purple at the fracture can give the fog layer a light pink color. The quality of the jade even reaches the bottom of high ice glass. It is the best piece of purple jade she has seen so far.

She really couldn't refuse this and fell in love with it at first sight.

Although there is no space for a bracelet, you can easily take out two pigeon eggs, and the rest can be ground into egg-shaped surfaces to make an inlaid necklace.

Yun Tinglan did not hide it, mainly because there was no need. They specially prepared Zi Fei and must have checked her preferences. Besides, they were the ancestors of playing with stones. It was not that you could get a bargain just by pretending not to like it.

The value is obvious, definitely hundreds of millions of Myanmar Kyats.

Yun Tinglan was picking stones here, and Huo Zhensheng followed Zhao Shengli to his study. Uh... it should be a study, anyway, you can see inside through the window, and there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

It can be seen that Zhao Shengli admires Chinese culture, but I don't know why he can't speak Chinese? Is it too difficult?

Huo Zhensheng was writing. He noticed her gaze and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

It's okay! Yun Tinglan's eyebrows flew up, and she continued to look down at the stones. Sister Zhou put the ones she liked together separately, and the manager would estimate the price himself.

Finally, check out together.

Seeing a lot of materials placed in a basin of water, Yun Tinglan became curious and was about to ask the translator, but Zhao Lan, who was bored, took the initiative to explain.

"These are all materials from the Southern Qi mines. When they are first dug out, they all have green wax shells. If they are not soaked in water, they will turn into black wax shells once they come into contact with air.

This way, it will be easier to wash them later. Also, if there is a green wax shell, you can see the material and it will be easier to wash.”

She played in the mining area a lot when she was a child and is very familiar with these things.

It turned out to be the case.

After more interactions, Yun Tinglan discovered that Zhao Lan was actually a very interesting girl with a genuine personality. She would fight for someone if she liked him, but she would also be free and easy when she let go.

Ask her how she knew?

Because the girl was too straightforward, he asked her right away, "You and Huo Zhensheng, are you two doing that?" He pointed with his index fingers, and his meaning was very clear.

Yun Tinglan almost choked on the water. It is a taboo to talk about deep things with someone you have just met! Moreover, such private matters are not suitable to be said in front of the public, especially through an interpreter.

Then he pretended to be calm and said, "Ms. Zhao, it's not very friendly to deliberately make fun of others when they are drinking water."

Zhao Lan curled her lips, "What's so bad about admitting this? Don't worry, I won't fight with you for it. Who would be willing to cover a lump of ice like that!"

The translator looked at the Third Miss in embarrassment. Mr. Huo was the distinguished guest of the eldest son and could not be offended. Her words were inappropriate. He simply ignored the latter comments and only translated the previous words, and led Yun Tinglan to another pile of materials.

The quality is good, with both color and water content.

As she was picking, she asked Ling Xi to negotiate a price so that she could have a better idea of ​​the price.

Then we moved to the water stone area of ​​Damakan. Compared with other sites, the water stones in Damakan are smaller and more expensive.

Lingxi's scanning results are the same as the manager's grading, and grade A jadeite raw stones have the highest value.

So, the chance of finding a bargain is really small.

She picked out eight stones with the best internal performance from the A-grade materials, and a dozen stones with good value for money from the B-grade materials. Then she asked the manager, "Are the C-grade materials sold in a package?"

If the price is acceptable, she thinks it would be an experience to ship it back to China and put it in the store for people who are interested to cut the stones and play with them.

The manager nodded. The boss had previously told the young lady that any stone she liked could be sold.

Yun Tinglan was happy, but without showing it on her face, she sent her desired price to Special Assistant Liu and asked him to come out and negotiate.

Every profession has its specialties. Assistant Liu doesn’t know anything about jadeite, but he is good at bargaining and negotiation!

In the end, the deal was acquired for 19 billion Myanmar Kyats. Yun Tinglan wanted to pay for it herself, but the other party refused. It wasn't that they didn't want the money, but that they wanted to pay off a debt to offset the money they paid for the production line they bought from Huo's.

This money is considered a deposit.

People are not willing to trade back and forth between multiple accounts. Not only is it troublesome, but there are also many procedures and various fees.

Yun Tinglan: “…”

Does this count as... getting something for free from Huo Zhensheng again?

Bah, bah, bah, what she meant was that she took advantage of him, uh...why does it sound so wrong to say that?

Is it that there is too much color waste in her brain?

Anyway, that’s what I mean. There are ruby ​​mines worth tens of billions of dollars in front of us, so these... don’t seem to be a big deal, right?

As it was getting dark, Huo Zhensheng still hadn't come out.

Yun Tinglan sat on the sofa, looking over there through the window, stroking the handmade embroidery on her handbag to hide her inner irritability, and looked at Special Assistant Liu with a slightly frowned brow.
