Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land
Chapter 154 Amber sold by the pound
"Grandpa Cainte, there is a big business!" The young master's loud voice rang out in the open-air workshop. The one-eyed old man who was concentrating on drawing on a piece of metal with a rune pen was shocked and the rune in his hand failed to be drawn.
Cainte threw away the metal piece with a headache and said helplessly: "Alonso, can you not be so startled?"
The young boy rushed over and said with a smile: "We have guests~"
Kent was stunned, turned his head to look over, and narrowed his remaining left eye slightly.
"Li Qing of Damocles, and the Elf Princess Sylph?" He slowly put down the rune pen and said calmly, "I heard that the chieftain was entertaining guests, but I didn't expect it would be you little guys."
Li Weiwei bowed slightly, smiling brightly: "I apologize for disturbing you so suddenly, Elder Kainte."
Kainte stared at Li Qing for a while, and then the corners of his mouth moved slightly, revealing a trace of smile: "It's okay, I just heard Alonso talking about big business? What business?"
"We want to buy tree man amber." Li Qing said solemnly.
Sylph, who was standing aside, frowned, and a flash of doubt flashed in her green eyes. She turned her head to glance at Xi Sui'an. Such an abrupt thing did not seem like something Li Qing would do. Was it related to Xi Sui'an?
"How much to buy?"
"Buy as much as you can."
Kainte was stunned and silent for a few seconds, then said in a strange tone: "Then... follow me."
Xi Sui'an didn't quite understand the strange tone of the old man at first. It was not until they passed a waterfall and everyone was stunned by the scene behind the waterfall and stopped in their tracks that she suddenly realized.
The entire mountain is made up of thousands of amber pieces, and the bright yellow, light orange and dark brown amber are made into various shapes.
Clusters of flowers and plants like glass; dark brown tree trunks; amber leaves of varying color saturation; clear water flowing like a stream, with the streamside and water filled with amber that looks like pebbles.
Xi Sui'an looked up and saw countless ambers in the dome forming wind chimes that refracted soft light. When the breeze blew, the amber wind chimes made soft and pleasant sounds.
At this time, there were some guys younger than Alonso fluttering and playing in this fairy-tale-like beautiful world. They blinked their eyes and looked at the unexpected visitors with pure and innocent eyes.
Xi Sui'an suddenly fell silent.
This is a playground built by the tree man Amber.
Alonso extended his hand and introduced: "The amber of our tree people is usually left for the younger generations, as a small gift. Over the past few eras, we have accumulated a lot of amber, so we put them together and made this amber playground. Usually, the young ones play in it, and occasionally they will go to see the memory gift left by their ancestors."
Alonso said with a smile, his eyes full of reminiscence: "We tree people spend our whole lives savoring the taste of memory. To paraphrase what I heard before, this is probably the countless little Easter eggs left behind after the accumulation of time."
Xi Sui'an: "..."
Okay, that's what she said about Easter eggs, but there are too many of them!!
"How romantic." The girl Lin Lu clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling.
Li Qing also fell into an odd silence. He closed his eyes, and his gentle smile had now become frozen like a mask.
He knew that the Treemen should have a lot of Amber, but he didn't expect that there were so many that they could be used to build a playground for the little ones to play with.
Li rubbed her face lightly, a trace of gritted teeth leaking out from between her teeth: "Xi Sui'an, you must give me an explanation later."
Xi Sui'an touched his nose guiltily, feeling that he had really screwed Li Qing over this time.
"Well...I will." Her eyes wandered and her tone was vague.
Kaneit raised his chin and said, "Well, go pick it up yourself. Yellow amber is sold by the pound, one pound is 100,000 crystal coins, and orange and brown are sold by the piece, orange is 30,000 each, and brown is 50,000 each. You can pick it up as you like."
“…” Sold by pound?!
“……”Tsk, this is the first time I’ve attacked the cub’s gift box.
Sylph glanced at the young tree people in the distance and felt that she was not capable of doing the things that children do. She silently took two steps back. This had nothing to do with her. Xi Sui'an and Li Qing could do it themselves. She didn't want to be embarrassed anyway.
Li Qing rolled up her sleeves helplessly: "Thank you, Elder, we will choose it ourselves."
The dwarf Finnian was very interested: "I'll help too. This tree man amber is really beautiful. It reminds me of the crystal mine in my home."
"Wow, you have a crystal mine at home?!" The tree man Alonso's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get close to Finnian to ask: "What is it like? Is it beautiful? Is it fun?"
"It's beautiful, I tell you..."
Seeing that the two little aliens who still had a childish nature had been chattering away and had taken the topic off topic, Xi Sui'an inexplicably wanted to sigh.
Li Qing asked in a low voice: "What kind of tree man amber do you want?"
Xi Sui'an took out the yellow amber that had dimmed and said hesitantly, "Probably... something like this."
The curve of Li Qing's mouth disappeared. He turned his head and looked at the countless yellow ambers in the cave. After a moment, he took a deep breath, muttered something, and then waved his hand and said, "Never mind, whatever we can get is good enough."
We’ll talk about it later. If he fails to explain himself properly, he will pick up this human and beat him up!
When Xi Sui'an heard the muttering of "hold on, don't strangle her to death", he silently dived into the ocean of tree man amber.
The hair on his shoulders moved, and Chao Xi said lazily: "It seems that you have seen some interesting things before."
Xi Sui'an sighed: "Probably, we'll talk about it later." She bent down and picked up two tree man ambers and placed them in front of her eyes to compare them with the previous one, and found that they looked almost the same.
How can I find the treeman amber containing important information? It is not advisable to look for a needle in a haystack.
Xi Sui'an recalled for a moment, then suddenly paused.
The first time she saw the tree man amber was when Alonso was auctioning it at the Mermaid Parade Auction. The amber was bought by the magician Talos and "opened" on the spot. He seemed to have gained some important information from it.
The second time was this one, which Elder Lorcan used to hit Alonso, and then it accidentally fell into her hands, and it also contained important information.
Accident or coincidence?
She turned her head to look at the little tree man who seemed to be still in his infancy, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
"Alonso, where did you get the amber that you auctioned and the amber that you threw at me?" Xi Sui'an turned and asked Alonso.
The young boy tilted his head and said, "Well, the wind chime fell and hit me, so I took it away." He shrugged, "Although it's a long time ago, I don't know which ancestor left it, but the grade is not high."
Xi Sui'an raised her hand to block the sunlight, squinting at the warm and crystal amber wind chimes swaying gracefully, then she raised her hand and condensed a blade of origin and swung it out, and the wind chimes immediately fell down and were collected by her.
"Where else do you think is good?" She decided to follow Alonso's feeling.
Alonso scratched the back of his head and said blankly: "It's all right. Amber leaves are beautiful, and amber flowers are also beautiful."
Xi Sui'an listened to Alonso's words and swept through the area, then picked and chose and put everything away.
Li Qing on the other side couldn't tell any difference between these ambers except for the color, so she immediately decided to pick the one that looked good.
Finally, the achievement was achieved of thirty kilograms of yellow amber, fifty pieces of orange and brown amber each, at a cost of seven million crystal coins.
Xi Sui'an thought to himself that Alonso had originally priced the car at 200,000, but it was finally sold for 900,000. Tsk, this was really a huge rip-off.
This little guy is a good seedling.
Elder Kainte glanced at Xi Sui'an who was almost buried by amber, and lowered his eyes in deep thought. The truly valuable and important tree man amber had already been collected. In his opinion, those given to the little guys to play with were nothing more than discarded stones. Could there be anything missing?
He tapped his arm with his fingertips. "Why did you buy so much tree man amber?"
"Teaching equipment." Li Qing said calmly, "After all, our history department also has research activities on the development process of various ethnic groups."
Elder Kainte knew he was fooling him, so he rolled his eyes silently and turned away.
