I have a little black hole

Chapter 6 Tour Mandalay

Lei Tiantang, who had eaten by time and could barely be regarded as breakfast, left the restaurant and walked to Mandalay Palace according to mobile phone navigation.I walked for about 15 minutes and came to the ticket office in front of the Royal Palace. The visit to the Royal Palace is free, but because he is a foreign tourist, it is necessary to purchase a Mandalay pass to play in Mandalay.

According to the knowledge provided by online donkey friends, Lei Tiantang had a preliminary impression of Mandalay Palace.

The Mandalay Palace is the last palace of Myanmar-the royal palace of the Kom Pang Dynasty. It was built in 1859. It is a wooden structure made of teak wood, a precious tree species unique to Myanmar. It has the characteristics of not cracking and corrosion resistance. In the feudal Burmese dynasty, teak was also designated as royal wood, and the palace and the imperial city were built with this wood.

There are 104 temples in the palace, the buildings are mainly red and gold.Part of the current Mandalay Palace was rebuilt in 1989, so many Burmese people do not have a good impression of the Mandalay Palace.But this did not affect Lei Tiantang's interest in visiting.

Looking at the Royal Palace from the outside, the scenery is very good at the time, there are long palace walls, every long palace wall is beautiful, every other wall is decorated with a pavilion, and the design shape of each pavilion is Different, some are taller and some are simpler, but they are similar in style, beautiful in appearance, mostly white, and are particularly enchanting against the red wall and green trees.The long wall is reflected in the moat, but it doesn't have a flavor.Lei Tiantang took a lot of photos outside and posted them on his circle of friends and Weibo.

However, Lei Tiantang, who entered the courtyard, felt that way. It didn’t feel much after reading it, because most houses were temples, and he was not a Buddhist believer.

The yard is still quite large, and the scenery in some places is good, especially the lookout tower, which is a good place to take photos. Lei Tiantang stood on it and took a lot of panoramic pictures of the palace with his mobile phone.

After shopping for about an hour, Lei Tiantang, who felt nothing interesting, left the palace, and suddenly felt that there was no fun place to go, because most of the attractions found on the mobile phone were temples, except for planning to go to Mande in the evening He shot the setting sun on Leshan, and he doesn't know what to do now.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Emerald Market in Mandalay. He went there yesterday evening, and there were not many stalls.Now it must be different during the day and night.Many of the stalls were empty when I went there last night. Today he plans to go shopping.

Another point is that he must buy some original jadeite stones to bring back to the country, or else he will take out a few top-grade jadeite all at once, and the origin of these jadeite is not very easy to explain. Although he is not afraid of trouble now, is it better not to have less trouble?

After leaving the palace, Lei Tiantang called a car and sent him to the jade market. When he entered, he was shocked. The jade market during the day can be said to be full of people. There are many people in front of almost every stall.

Today, he still plans to find out whether he can open another high-quality jadeite rough in the market, because he plans to buy a lot of rough stones to bring back to his country, and there are not many rough stones in his pocket.One more point, still prove his luck and strength to the outside world, or else suddenly so many top-level jadeite will think about others.

As for the improvement of stone gambling, he is too late to learn and sell now. He plans to learn by the way when he buys rough stones these days.After all, he doesn't have to rely on stone gambling for a living.The purpose of his coming to Myanmar for jadeite is very clear, that is, he wants to get a start-up fund, and by the way, he can leave some materials for art creation in the future.As for other plans in the future, he plans to think about it after returning to China.

So he opened his skills and slowly turned up the stalls.While watching how other people choose stones, while listening to the booth owner explaining these original stones, and combining with his own skills to see, his understanding of jade original stones is also gradually improving.

He also bought several rough stones by the way. Some of them contained jadeite, and the texture was not very good. Some were large stones.Anyway, the use of these purchases is an excuse, and it didn't cost much, and Lei Tiantang didn't care.

After shopping for a while, he saw that everyone had eaten, and he also felt a little hungry. He ate outside and went in again.After watching it for a long time, and watching the calcite several times, only one boss produced a piece of jadeite with a spring color, which is of good value and barely makes a profit. Others are either shit or stone.Lei Tiantang realized what the ten bets and nine spans on the Internet meant.

It's no wonder that the trading of raw materials and finished products in the market is so hot. Although buying raw materials and finished products also requires some insight, it can be more stable than buying these blind materials.

But Lei Tiantang is not afraid, it’s not stupid that those who hang out do not gamble!The original stones he bought in the afternoon are basically in stock. Although they are not of very good quality, Lei Tiantang still intends to buy more such stones. One is to go back and give a friend a gift. , And then make jewelry for them and give them to them. After all, it is not appropriate to give the finished products made of top jadeite to friends.

Another reason is that he intends to go back and buy a villa, and then he plans to use these emerald stones to pile up the rockery in the yard. Think of a friend who knows the goods to be a guest at home, and seeing such a rockery shock, Lei Tiantang can’t help it. Straightforward.Pretend to be different too!

Of course, he is still very far from this goal, and he has not found a rough stone that can provide him with funds to sweep away.Now I can only think about it, and then continue to go to the booth to find the original stone.

Still looking for each stall one by one according to the rhythm. After all, if he put the field directly to the largest, then he can quickly find a satisfactory rough stone, but what fun is there to do that?

Finally, after shopping for most of the afternoon, I finally found a satisfactory original stone.It's still a half-gambling stone.The size of this rough stone is not small, and the label shows 60 kg.The entrance was Pargan.

However, because there were two openings in the original stone, there was nothing under one opening, and the other opening was under a piece of moss. There was jadeite here, but the aquatic species of jadeite was only the hibiscus species, and there were some cracks.

Therefore, the merchants did not continue to open, but put it out to sell as half-gambling materials, there are still a few customers who fancy this original stone, all around this original stone with bright light flashlight in the photo.They should be a group of gambling stones, otherwise they will not look at a rough stone together.

So Lei Tiantang stood by and did not speak, the rules still have to be said.After a while, a few people came out and asked the boss: "Boss, we need 300,000 yuan for this piece. 300,000 can still bet."

"Then how do you do, this boss, I bid 600,000, you directly halved, we bought more than this price." The stall owner is a young Burmese, heard that these customers have halved the price, He smiled bitterly.

"Well, if you want, I can make it cheaper. How about you taking away 550,000 RMB!" The stall owner thought about it.

"Too much. I don’t know how much meat is in this piece. The cracking on the meat is not a big problem. It’s still a question mark. The risk of your gambling at this price is too great. So. How about 350,000?" Of customers continue to bargain.

"That doesn't work, boss, I can't make this price, at least 500,000. If you think you can buy it, if you don't, you can look at something else." The stall owner declined the price to 500,000.

Lei Tiantang estimated that this stone was bought by the owner of this stall to gamble, but the result was not ideal. It was understandable that the price would not be too much if it was sold as a half-gambling item.
