Chapter 529: Pineapple Wood Buddha Carving

"Let's go check it out. ”

Zhou You couldn't help but think of the spiritual Buddha statue he had encountered in the Yongjian Museum before, and his mind began to intensify.

Although the spiritual power hidden in the Pure World Bowl is enough to travel around and consume a lifetime, but the Pure World Bowl as an artifact is not easy to deal with, at least Zhou You has no way to devour the spiritual power in the Pure World Bowl until now, you can only look at it but not eat it, so you can feel pain.

Now that you have come to the country where Buddhism is prosperous, you can't miss it when you travel, and you may not be able to have unexpected gains.

Ma Fatzi took the initiative to pick up a Buddha sculpture that looked a little old, and said: "The ivory Buddha sculpture here is not cheap, it is often measured in 10,000 units, and it is calculated in euros or dollars." So I usually come to buy souvenirs and only choose these Buddha carvings with good craftsmanship but reasonable prices. ”

"Wait, show me the Buddha carving in your hand!"

Zhou You didn't mean it, but when he condensed his spiritual power and was about to observe, he suddenly noticed a faint fluctuation of spiritual power around him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was in the hands of the fat man.

"Uncle Ma's luck is too good, it's a treasure when you take it. ”

Zhou You muttered for a while, then took it and looked at it, and immediately commented: "Uncle Ma, this Buddha carving is carved from high-grade pineapple wood, but it is too old and has become a little black wax." Uncle Ma, why don't you transfer this thing to me, I like it. ”

The fat man didn't care at all, and immediately said, "Be polite to me!" I just picked it up as an example, and if you like it, take it." ”

Later, after Zhou You asked about the price, he finally closed the deal at a price of 500 US dollars.

Ma Fatzi was originally not very happy, but seeing that Zhou You was so happy, he could only make a verbal complaint: "Xiaoyou, I usually look at your shrewdness, why are you confused here." If the old stall owner hadn't liked it, he would definitely not have offered such an outrageous price, you must know that this thing is usually sold for at most thirty or forty dollars, but now it has directly increased by nearly twenty times, and you are really thorough enough. ”

Zhou You said: "It doesn't matter, this thing is at least two hundred years old, and there was originally a layer of protection, but it disappeared due to serious wear." Buying a historical artifact for a measly $500 was a bargain for me. ”

"Whatever you want!"

The fat man doesn't care too much.

The current Zhou You is rich and rich, which is not what he can imagine at all, so naturally he doesn't have to feel sorry for him, so he asked: "Xiaoyou, do you want to continue to buy?" The things here look good, a bit of a cultural relic." ”

Zhou You then shook his head and said, "No, most of the rest are modern handicrafts." Even if there are a few small pieces with history, they will be charged a high price and are not cost-effective. ”

In fact, the rest of the things have no spiritual power, so you don't want to waste time.

If this old stall owner is easy to talk to, Zhou You also wants to get in touch with him, make it an art export, and send it to Longque Lou to increase the selling point. But now it seems that this old stall owner is too snobbish and is not a good target for cooperation, so there is no need to go down.

The fat man waved goodbye.

And the old stall owner gave a nama, just as he had done when he had traveled around them just now.

Seeing Zhou You's strange expression, Ma Fatzi explained: "Myanmar is a country with many etiquette and etiquette. Burmese Buddhists practice namaste when meeting guests in social settings. If you are wearing a hat, you should remove the hat from your left armpit, fold your hands and say something like 'Say hello to you.' ”

Zhou You nodded, indicating that he knew this custom.

Zhou Yu even knows some of the stranger etiquette. For example, when Burmese people see old people, leaders, and scholars who they are not familiar with or do not often meet, if they are sitting on the floor, they will bow down; if they see the above-mentioned people who are more familiar with them, they will sit and bow; whenever they come to the front of monks, parents, and teachers, they must give the great gift of 'five bodies to the ground'; and when they meet old people, leaders, and scholars, they generally bow down.

Taking this opportunity, Ma Fatzi simply added a further explanation: "Since I said the beginning, then I will hastily introduce the etiquette here." You also know that the Burmese people are extremely devout to the Buddha. Whoever enters a stupa or temple must take off their shoes, even the head of state, as it is seen as the greatest disrespect to the Buddha and can sometimes lead to trouble. Don't be surprised if we go to Mandalay and see people worshipping Buddha barefoot, it's a common phenomenon here, and even the hot weather and rugged mountain roads don't stop Burmese Buddhists from seeking Buddha. ”

Zhou You nodded when he heard it, it was really better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles.

Zhou You then remembered the record he had seen in the book before, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Ma, I heard that the Burmese people worship cows very much, even no less than India." ”

"Don't you say I forgot!"

Ma Fatzi patted his forehead and exclaimed: "Burmese people worship cows very much, and Burmese people worship cows." They were not allowed to whip or serve the 'sacred cows', let alone slaughter them. Wherever the sacred cow goes, people will give it the best food. If you encounter a sacred cow on the road or in the downtown area, pedestrians and vehicles should temporarily avoid it. During the New Year's holidays, Burmese people hold a ceremony to worship the ox. ”

Zhou You sighed: "There are so many etiquettes!"

Ma Fatzi smiled bitterly: "I used to always come here to do business, so I know more about this place, but it is still difficult to adapt to it." ”

Zhou You also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then they wandered around for a while, bought a batch of gifts, and then went back to the hotel to rest. However, there is still half a day, and they can't be bored in the hotel, so Ma Fatzi suggested going to the famous jade field in Naypyidaw to have a look, and maybe there may be unexpected discoveries.

It took hours of boredom.

After traveling around and tasting the food of Myanmar, he drove with Ma Fatzi to the jade field that was born because of the Myanmar jade plate. It is said that this is a jade field, but in fact it is an old street on the edge of the jade market, jade companies from all over Myanmar rent houses or shops here, and some even set up stalls on the spot, and it becomes a business to fool around.

"Boss, it's a bit chaotic here!"

Dazhi was worried.

On the contrary, Ma Fatzi was very calm and comforted: "Myanmar is a Buddhist country with very simple folk customs, and the law and order is very good, provided that you do not participate in political activities and criminal activities. This is the capital, and the security will be much better, as long as the wealth is not visible to attract the prying eyes of others, there is no problem. ”

Dazhi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's difficult if the wealth is not visible." With the strength of the boss, he will definitely be able to solve a good jade after a while, and it would be a lie if it didn't attract attention at that time. ”

Ma Fatzi thought about it, and hurriedly suggested: "Since this is the case, why don't we just buy it?"

Zhou You nodded, he also meant the same.

There were a total of six people in their trip, and they brought Dazhi and Forrest Gump with them, while Ma Fatzi was even more direct, with only one bodyguard and a local tour guide. As for Brother Guang's mercenaries, they haven't arrived yet, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come over tonight, so now is the most vulnerable moment for Zhou You.

"Wow!"

And when Zhou You heard the long-lost noise, he didn't bother to care, and walked directly to see the people's calcification.

This calcite is actually a woman, dressed in a trendy fashion, but her eyes don't look so decent, a little bewitching. And many onlookers present did not look at the jade wool, but at the fiery figure of this bewitching woman.

I don't know if this bewitching woman did it on purpose, but she actually wore a low-cut outfit and exposed half of the two huge white balls, which attracted a lot of perverts to always surround her and be busy.

"TND!

The bewitching woman shook two white balls and threw the material out.

"Mandarin?"

Zhou You didn't expect the bewitching woman to speak Mandarin.

"It's not strange to speak Mandarin in Myanmar, but if you go to Mandalay, you can experience some exotic Chinese style," Ma said. Also, this woman doesn't seem to be a simple person, seeing that there is a bodyguard by her side secretly protecting, it is estimated that she is a baby girl from a Chinese family. ”

Zhou You smiled and said: "If I have such a daughter, I will definitely ground her." ”

The fat man also smiled.

Zhou You didn't bother to pay attention to such a woman, and took the fat man to a stall. This stall is also very simple, all the sales are all gambling wool, and they are all very small, the largest piece is at most four or five catties.

Ma Fatzi pouted after taking a look at it and said, "I really admire that dozens of stones dare to be taken out and sold." But what I admire even more is that he actually used mountains and rocks to make up the numbers, and he really regarded the people in the gambling stone world as fools. ”

Zhou You smiled and pointed at the bewitching woman and said, "Then is she considered a person from the gambling stone world?"

The fat man shook his head violently.

Zhou You didn't pay attention to it anymore, and after a cursory glance, he pointed to a stone that was one size smaller than a fist and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this piece of wool?"

Seeing Zhou You asking like this, Ma Fatzi couldn't help but shake his head.

Sure enough, the boss was stunned for a moment, and then compared three fingers.

Zhou You frowned and asked, "$300?"

This time, the tour was in English.

The boss immediately shook his head and said in unfamiliar English, "It's $3,000." ”

Zhou Youyou left without looking back.

The stall owner hurriedly shouted, but Zhou You didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Zhou You was just testing it just now, but he didn't expect this guy to be really stupid. Maybe people are asking for a sky-high price, but Zhou You doesn't have the heart to pay back the money with a stall owner who can do green jade at most, rather than having such a time, it is better to go to other stalls to see it.

The fat man didn't care, and followed with a smile.

Zhou You came to another stall next door, still taking a cursory glance, and just when he wanted to ask, the old stall owner took the initiative to ask in Mandarin: "The two are gambling stone players from the motherland, right?"
