The next day, Tao Bu ran into Gao Hanqiang at the bazaar, who was haggling with an "old Burmese" for a piece of material. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Tao couldn't help but want to greet Gao Hanqiang, so he pretended not to see the other party and lowered his head.

Unexpectedly, Gao Hanqiang saw Tao with sharp eyes. He shouted enthusiastically, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, are you also coming to the market?"

Tao couldn't help but raise his head, and then squeezed out a smiling face, "Ah, it's Brother Gao." ”

At this time, "Lao Burma" thought that Gao Hanqiang didn't want to buy materials, so he hurriedly said in a broken Hancheng dialect: "Okay, according to you, ninety is ninety!"

Gao Hanqiang paid, and then walked up to Tao Fu triumphantly, "How about looking at me?"

He held the piece of material he had just bought in the palm of his hand. It was a very dark piece of crimson amber, and although it was irregularly shaped, it had a bright luster and excellent fire, and it looked like a good piece of material.

"These 'old Burmese' are really careless, and they don't care at all. Tao couldn't say with emotion, "Look over here, it's still wearing skin." He looked at it carefully, "However, this color is very positive, Brother Gao, the eyes are very poisonous." ”

"Hey, hey. Gao Hanqiang laughed, "Xiao Tao, you're not angry with me, are you?"

Tao couldn't hurry up and said, "Brother Gao, you're joking again, how can I be angry with you?"

The two of them talked, and walked forward for a while. Gao Hanqiang saw that Tao couldn't really look like he was holding a grudge, so he gradually let go.

"Your brother and I are also righteous, do you know?" Gao Hanqiang grabbed Tao Wufu's shoulder, "What's the good material, remember to tell my brother, my brother has a big boss I know here, and I will introduce you to you." It's always right to get to know more people when doing business!"

Tao couldn't move in his heart, and subconsciously said, "Brother Gao, have you ever heard that there are six colors of amber?"

Gao Hanqiang tilted his head to look at him, "Six colors?"

"Well, it's a piece of amber that has three different colors in the sun and in the interior. Tao couldn't think back to what he had seen, "Maybe in a darker place, the color is different." But I'm not sure about that yet. ”

"Haven't you heard of such a thing?" Gao Hanqiang's eyes rolled, "Is it your material?"

Tao couldn't hesitate for a moment, "It's Xiao Mo's." He thought for a moment and added, "But he doesn't seem to be going to sell, he wants to make a longevity lock for his child." ”

"That's right. Gao Hanqiang said disinterestedly, "Then let's talk about it when he wants to sell it." ”

What surprised Tao was that Gao Hanqiang didn't deceive him. At the market four days later, Gao Hanqiang really introduced him to a boss.

This boss named Meda is not tall, very young, only twenty-four or five years old, and the hooked nose on his face is very eye-catching.

Tao couldn't tell what Maida was, because the latter's accent was so strange. He had the heart to ask a few more questions, but the other party lightly changed the topic.

"This guy doesn't want me to know where he's from. Tao couldn't think in his heart, "Let's say it's a foreigner, Mandarin is much better than a foreigner." Perhaps, he is a minority?"

When he was still thinking nonsense, Meda said generously: "Boss Tao, I am new to the city, if there is anything I am not thoughtful about, please bear with me." ”

Tao couldn't feel comfortable all of a sudden, and the young boss seemed to respect him very much.

"You're so polite, Boss Mei. Tao couldn't smile and said, "Is it the first time you have come to Hancheng to catch the market? Come on, I'll show you the way." ”

At the end of the day's rally, Tao couldn't already chat with Meda very speculatively, Gao Hanqiang happened to have something, and only the two of them ate together at lunch.

The two walked into a small Dai flavor shop, and Tao couldn't order the food quickly. While waiting for the number on the food sign, Tao couldn't ask, "Boss Mei, do you know which amber shop I'm in?"

"Yes. Meda looked around alertly, "The one surnamed Mo." ”

Tao couldn't immediately hear the slightest mistake, "Boss Mei knows my owner?"

"Where do I know. Meda grinned, showing her not-so-straight teeth. "I've just heard of it. He looked around and then lowered his voice, "I heard that he is a very rich fellow, right?"

Tao couldn't blink, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I'm kind of talking to you. Meda smiled, "It's nothing to tell you." He cleared his throat, "I worked my own, and I especially don't like the kind of people who grow up on their families." ”

Tao couldn't suddenly realize, he smacked his lips, "Boss Mei, that's because you don't know my boss yet." Seriously, Xiao Mo is a very good person, if you want, find a chance for me to introduce you to you, he has a lot of good goods there. ”

Meda shook her head, "No need. I'm a bit of a weird person, and I like to look for the kind of material that I can't see on the market. Generally good goods, I'm not very interested. He touched his nose, "Boss Tao, I heard you've seen a kind of amber with six colors?"

Tao couldn't be secretly surprised, he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. "Well, yes. ”

"Can you tell me about it?" said Meda, looking eager for knowledge.

Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Tao couldn't describe it patiently.

Meda didn't speak for a long time after listening. He looked at Tao's unbeatable outfit, and suddenly said, "Boss Tao, if I guess correctly, you, like me, are also from a poor background, right?"

Tao couldn't be stunned.

Meda smiled apologetically, "Oh, Boss Tao, did I say the wrong thing?"

"No! no!" Tao couldn't quickly deny, "I'm indeed from a poor background, and I'll tell you the truth, I'm still suffering." ”

"It shouldn't be!" Meda looked puzzled, "I heard Gao Hanqiang say, you have been working in the Mo family's shop for many years, and you can be regarded as a second master, how can you still live a hard life, the Mo family's business is so good!"

Tao couldn't smile bitterly, "No matter how good the business is, it's also the Mo family." After saying this, he probably realized that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to stand up, "I'll go and see if the food is ready." ”

There were not many guests at noon that day, and the two of them were quickly filled with dishes.

"Eat, I don't know if you have any taboos, the dishes here are relatively spicy and sour, which belong to heavy tastes, you can bear more. Tao couldn't greet Meda warmly, "Eat, please eat." ”

Meda picked up a piece of pickled fish, "Then I'll go." ”

After the two of them ate for a while, Mei Da said casually: "Boss Tao, you have been working in the Mo family for so many years, according to me, you are really condescending. ”

"Huh. Tao couldn't laugh dryly, "I can't say that, I've learned a lot." ”

"Have you ever thought about opening your own shop?" Meda couldn't eat spicy food, and some fine beads of sweat broke out of her hooked nose.

"To be honest, thought about it. Tao couldn't get more and more fond of this young hook nose, "But, alas, opening a store requires capital, where is it so easy?"

"Yes. Meda sighed, "I'm also groping, and it's really not easy to open a store." After he took a few sips of boiled water, he suddenly said with a slight sneer, "But there are also people who are so easy to open a store that it is fatal, and the world is really unfair." ”

Tao couldn't move, he knew that Meda was probably talking about Mo Linshu. But he couldn't follow and say bad things about Mo Linshu, so he had to laugh.

"Boss Tao, let me tell you what I want to say, if I can, I want to see that six-colored piece of amber. ”

Tao couldn't be stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to do." ”

"What's wrong?"

"My owner values those two pieces of amber very much, and they are usually hidden, and it is not easy for me to see them. Tao couldn't speak, and sighed.

"That's right. Meda looked disappointed. "Then, if you take the initiative to ask the price, do you say he sells it or not?"

"Let me ask for you. Tao couldn't say, "Boss Mei, you have to be mentally prepared, Xiao Mo is not short of money, he will probably not sell." ”

"Is it? his family is so rich?" asked Meda suspiciously.

"Hmm. A lot of the amber in their hands has never been seen before. Uncle Mo, who is Xiao Mo's father, can go to the big city to buy things every once in a while, and I don't know where he got so many cloth tickets and meat tickets, and he can buy anything. Tao couldn't speak, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes, "Uncle Mo seems to have many friends, from all walks of life, probably because of this." ”

"They're locals, they're big, and it's normal. Meda said comfortingly.

"I don't think it's that simple. Tao couldn't pout, "They are not from Hancheng, they moved from other places, and they are ethnic Russians." ”

"Oh. Meda took a bite of the food, "That's probably for a kiss." ”

"Here's the blame. Tao couldn't eat hot anymore and unbuttoned his shirt. "I haven't heard the owner mention his grandparents, or any other relatives. He never said that his father had any comrades-in-arms or classmates in the local area, never. ”

"It's nothing, maybe it's because his elders have been through war or something. Meda said disapprovingly.

"Regardless of why his relatives are gone, don't you think it's strange?" Tao couldn't mutter, "even if they are an ethnic minority, what are they doing here in the southwestern frontier? Then if you don't want to join your family, why don't you go to the big city?"

Two of Meda's eyebrows furrowed. His eyebrows were light, but they were so long that they almost flew into his hair, and with that striking hooked nose, he didn't look like a good guy. "You have a point. Such a rich person can live anywhere, right?" Meda ate a peanut, "What's so good about Hancheng? It's close to Myanmar, amber and jade." There's no need to move your family here for this. ”

Tao couldn't nod. After talking for a long time, he was also a little tired, and after eating the food in silence for a while, he suddenly asked, "Boss Mei, you seem to have a good opinion of my host?"

Meda scoffed, "I just can't get used to this kind of guy who pretends to have a little money at home." Besides, don't I feel worthless for you?" he said indignantly, "I also have a big brother in my family, who is about the same age as you, and I am so angry that my lungs will explode when I think that if he is outside to help others and be bullied for seven or eight years!"

Tao couldn't look at Meda's puffed appearance, and couldn't help laughing, "I won't tell you, I really have a younger brother, who is about the same age as you, and he is a soldier." ”

"No wonder I think we can talk very well!" Meda laughed, "Brother Tao, I call you that, don't mind, go to the guest house where I live at night, I have wine there." ”

"No problem!" Tao couldn't help but laugh, "Then I'll call you Xiaomei." I'm going to the store in the afternoon, and I'll go to you when I'm done, and bring some snacks!"

"That's right, Brother Tao. Meda stopped talking.

"Say it, Xiaomei. ”

"I'm still very concerned about that six-colored amber, if it's convenient for you, you can definitely help me ask the price, okay?"

"Wow, what a big deal. Tao couldn't laugh.

"Also, don't say I want to buy it. Meda said, "If I can, I want to buy it through you, I don't really want to deal with this 'Second Ancestor'." ”

"Wrap it around me. ”

A few days later, the heat came.

On this day, Hancheng was as hot as a steamer about to explode.

The cicadas in the trees refused to call, and the birds and finches crouched in the shadows of the treetops and leaves. The weeds on the side of the road drooped their heads listlessly, as if they were going to fall down at any moment. The dog was so hot that it stretched out its tongue, and the wild cat was stuck in the corner, its eyes half-open and half-closed, dozing.

Almost all life longs for the rainstorm.

Tao couldn't sit behind the counter and yawned. At two o'clock in the afternoon, there are hardly any pedestrians on the road, let alone anyone who will come out to visit the amber shop.

"Can't!" Mo Lin Shu ran in excitedly, "Close the door, follow me!"

"Huh?" Tao couldn't look at Mo Linshu stunned, "Why are you going?"

"Come on, you'll know when you're here. Mo Linshu was holding a pocket in his hand, which seemed to contain clothes. He came by bike, his head covered in sweat and the necklace around his neck glistening.

Tao couldn't lock the door and sat on the back of Mo's bicycle. "Don't fool around, little Mo. Tao couldn't worry and said, "Where are you going?"

Mo Linshu smiled and said, "Sit down." With that, he kicked up his pedals hard.

After more than half an hour, Tao could not enter a cool world.

Mo Linshu stopped the car, "It's here." ”

It was a field on the outskirts, and a meandering river was singing and flowing before their eyes.

Mo Linshu opened the pocket in his hand, "The swim trunks I just bought, one for each of us." Come on, you pick first. ”

Tao couldn't be surprised and delighted, "Xiao Mo, you think so thoughtfully." ”

"Quick pick. Mo Linshu shook his wrist, "Either you choose the big red one, I want the blue one." ”

"you. Tao couldn't snatch the dark blue swimming trunks, "You wear red, how energetic, hahaha." ”

The two laughed and changed into their swimming trunks, then folded their clothes, placed them near the wheels of their bikes, and pressed a small rock.

"Come on, see how far you can swim in one breath!" Tao couldn't shout and rushed into the river, "I can swim more than 30 meters in one breath!"

"Come, let's try!" Mo Linshu said, walking briskly to the middle of the river, then took a deep breath and plunged down.
