Chapter 578: Higher level is better (Second update
Student Le Xiao was so preoccupied with collecting spiritual jade that he had no time to waste his brain cells thinking about whether her arrival would cause unrest. He leisurely headed to Pagang in the old jade production area.
Pagang Town is a gathering place for miners, farm owners, and jewelry companies. Due to the increasing price of jade every year, more and more people go mining, and it gradually develops into a town.
There are residential areas on both sides of the ten-mile-long road to the entrance of Pagang. There are various small shops selling daily necessities and rough jade shops. Many people in the old area who have jade stones at the entrance bring their rough stones to Pagang. For transactions in Gang Town, many jade merchants will also come to Pagang to hunt for goods.
Because we met someone in the wrong car on the road, which delayed a lot of time, it took Ah Tu's car more than five minutes to reach Pagang. It was nearly 3 pm when we arrived.
The street vendors in Pagang hold parasols to protect themselves from the sun, the men and women wearing sarongs sit or stand in the shade, and the people walking on the streets wear straw hats or sun hats or hold umbrellas.
When she was still far away from the market town, Leyun couldn't help but feel her heart agitate. The mountains in the Jade Field area were glowing with aura, indicating that there were countless treasures.
When the van entered Pagang, she leaned against the window to look, her eyes glaring like bull's eyes, scanning to detect where the spiritual energy was strong and which corners contained good stones.
Driver Ah Tu has gone to and from Pagang more than 80 times, if not a hundred times. He can tell which store on the street has more stones and which store is at which entrance. He drove to a place halfway down the street. Stop at a farmhouse.
There are no high-end hotels in the market town. Residents use rooms in their homes to make hotels. A family with three or two empty rooms can accommodate three or five people. Farmhouses that specialize in hotels can accommodate about ten people. They are all Datong-style hotels. There are no single or double rooms available unless you book a large room.
The local accommodation fee is neither too expensive nor too cheap, ranging from 50 to 600 yuan a day. After parking the car, Ah Tu decisively went to order a room. She only booked one room because the employer who rented the car said that the stone she won from betting would be great. Put it in the car, and in order to prevent it from being stolen, she slept in the car and watched over it.
It had been agreed before that if accommodation was required on the road, the regular accommodation and food expenses would be borne by the employer who contracted the car, and the car owner would be responsible for other expenses.
The driver went to go through the accommodation procedures. Leyun unloaded the suitcase, tied a thick bag to the luggage trailer, got off the luggage cart and big backpack, took out a sun hat and put it on her head, and waited for Ah Tu to come back after completing the procedures. Locking the car, she went shopping.
Driver A Tu happily followed the petite young woman to bet on stones. He would occasionally bet on stones, but he only dared to bet on stones worth a few hundred yuan. Many people would not dare to bet. After all, he had a family and had to support his family. You can't afford to gamble if you make a living.
The lady was in front, and Ah Tu followed on the side. He saw many people looking at his employer. He couldn't help it. The employer was really beautiful, with fair skin. She wore a dress that was longer than the calf. She had a very hot figure. Like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Pagang has developed into a large free town. The houses include modern bungalows with European style, as well as traditional buildings of local residents. Some speak Burmese, some speak ethnic minority languages, some Chinese, and some Dai. .
Those who speak Chinese are all jade merchants or descendants of Chinese people in Myanmar. It can even be said that 70% of the miners in the jade field area are of Chinese descent. Their ancestors have been digging jade mines in Myanmar a long time ago. What you eat is the bowl of hard work.
After the makeover, Le Xiao’s classmate also speaks Burmese. She studied Burmese with Yang Tuhao for so many days. With her super memory, she forced herself to become proficient in Burmese. Now she can confuse the fake with the real one. Therefore, Even the driver did not suspect her and thought she was a native of Myanmar.
The advantage of knowing the local language is that you can understand what others are saying when walking on the street, and you can collect the information you need in minutes.
Taking advantage of her knowledge of Burmese, Leyun held her chin high and walked happily on her short legs while shopping. On the surface, she was admiring the sights while shopping, but in fact, she ran towards the place where she had previously detected a strong aura light.
Walking slowly and stopping all the way, like a tourist, you have overheard some people talking about prices or their lowest prices.
After passing more than a dozen stores and stalls, I stopped outside a store pretending to be casual. There were three people looking at the stones placed in front of the store. The seller was telling people that the stones were all newly exported.
After a few glances, he squatted down, took out a flashlight and shined light on a stone. He looked at several pieces in succession, pulled out one of them, a black sand shell stone weighing seven or eight kilograms, and asked the seller how much it cost.
The seller, who spoke Burmese, leaned closer and typed the price on his computer: 100,000.
Le Yun understood. The number of 100,000 was Kyat and RMB 480. For safety reasons, she communicated with the seller again, discussed the currency used for the transaction, reached an agreement to pay in RMB, held the stone aside, and loosened the backpack. Open one shoulder strap, open the zipper and take out a bunch of RMB, count out five, and get back a pile of more than 5,000 kyats.
After paying the money, I put the stones into the thick backpack bag on the luggage trailer, tied it to the trailer and continued walking.
When the employer paid, Ah Tu was particularly surprised and wanted to ask her whether she was from Burma or China. In the end, she kept to her duty and didn't ask further.
The first stone is a piece of ice-grown jadeite, which is not top-grade green. For Leyun, you can pick it up or not, because it only costs more than 400 yuan, which is very cheap compared to Yinnan Province, so I bought it anyway. It's also a bit spiritual, so a little can make a lot more.
I went to several stores and found one that attracted my heart because of the aura in the photos. The stones outside were good or bad, so I went in and took a stroll. The shop was less than fifteen square meters and was filled with stones. Woolen materials of various sizes were piled on the shelves like a pile of rocks. The heavy ones weighed about a hundred kilograms, and the small ones were only a few fingers wide.
Leyun took the muff and shone here and there, then slipped to a corner and picked out two stones. One weighed about thirty kilograms and had a gray-white shell. The other was made of black sand shell and weighed about ten kilograms. , probably not long after the stones were laid out, and before they could be weighed, the specific weight was not marked.
The customer selected the stone, and the seller came forward to discuss the sale. The first small stone was offered for 20,000 RMB, but the price was negotiated to 5,000. The two parties did not reach an agreement. The long-haired young woman gave up decisively and negotiated for the second stone. The price was quoted for the larger stone. Fifty thousand, the price was reduced to fifteen thousand, and the seller reluctantly sold it.
After paying the money, Leyun put the stone into a bag and continued running with it.
When the employer was discussing business with the shopkeeper, the driver Ah Tu's eyes almost exploded. The lady was so good at negotiating the price, and the words coming out of her mouth came in complete sets. She knew the characteristics of the venue clearly. She was 100% an insider. .
With that understanding, he followed his employer and worked hard to gain insights and learn from experience. He watched her gamble back seven or eight stones. When he went to a stall, he also tried his hand and bought a piece of wool worth two thousand yuan. He waited far away from the stall. He quietly asked his employer whether he was losing money or making money. The employer glanced at him and said to him: "You can make money, but not much."
He excitedly took the stone and ran to a shop to grind it, and after grinding off a layer of skin, he found that it was a green bean with average quality. When he asked an experienced shopkeeper, the answer was that he could earn about one or two thousand.
Driver A Tu's admiration for his employer was like the endless waves of the Wulong River. He held his own stone and walked all over the street looking for his employer. In the end, he searched half the street but couldn't find him, so he had to play by himself.
Le Yun was not hiding from the driver, but she had already changed direction after finding the stone she liked, and walked back to the other side of the street, looking for stones as she walked.
She found most of the places with spiritual energy that she scouted out. There were two places that were closed in the evening and could not be found. There were two places where the stones were stolen while she was waiting for her to go there. There were several places where the stone spiritual energy was very strong, but she couldn't find it. There are too many tresses on the stone, so it is not suitable to buy it.
The driver A Tu walked around until the sun went down and got back in the car to wait. When it got dark and the street lights came on, his employer didn't come back, so he had to wait patiently.
Waiting and waiting, until it was almost half past eight, the employer came back dragging the luggage trailer. She had gambled a lot of stones, and the backpack on the luggage trailer was half full. He didn't ask any more questions and helped Changfa's employer move the luggage trailer. Get in the van, lock it, and go eat.
After eating a local-style meal, Le Xiao first went to the guest room reserved by the driver to take a shower, and then let the driver stay while she returned to the car to look after the car.
The van was not equipped with a speedometer, and there were no extra eyes. She stayed in the van alone, packed her luggage, threw some stones back into the space, took care of the crops, meditated for a while, and then returned to the van to sleep.
On summer nights, the sky is filled with stars.
In the dead of night, when the capital of Myanmar was sleeping, guests in a large hotel also fell asleep. A black shadow flew out from the balcony of a guest room, turned into a huge bat in the air, and disappeared into the night sky.
In the corner of the balcony outside the living room of a guest room on another floor, a pair of eyes watched the bat fly away. The man clinging to the wall gently returned to the guest room and reported to the baron who was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking red wine: "Master, The Count is out."
"It's good to be at a high level. You can go wherever you want." Auston swung the red wine in his glass with cold eyes.
Not everyone in the vampire race can fly. Ordinary-level vampires are only very fast and cannot fly. Only when they grow to the level of an earl can they fly freely like a bat.
Ryan is a count, so he can turn into a bat and fly. He is just a baron. He can easily jump to the Eiffel Tower or a tall building several hundred meters high, but he cannot fly freely in the sky.
The bodyguard said nothing.
Auston sighed to himself as he continued to drink red wine, and his heart became more determined. If his cooperation with Miaomiaodan went smoothly, maybe he could be upgraded to an earl soon, and he could go wherever he wanted.
Earl Ryan did not return to the hotel until dawn. He only squinted for an hour before dawn. He and his bodyguards got up and had breakfast. They packed up neatly and ran to Yushi Street in the capital of Myanmar to make a veritable gambling stone. people.
Auston also went out with his family bodyguards to prevent Earl Ryan from discovering his intentions.
The two teams left early and returned late, really like stone gambling tourists lingering in the local area.
