In addition to Bian Mao and Tan Jing's video stores, Hong Tao also found a trouble for himself, that is, the cousin of the second master, the third child. The third child's full name is Na Xia Bai, who is 35 this year, and has a son who has just entered elementary school, but his daughter-in-law is gone.

He also has an elder brother named Na Dongsong, who is 2 years older than him, and in the early years, he didn't call on intellectual young people to build the motherland's borders, but the two brothers went to Yunnan, and this time it was several years. His brother accidentally provoked a girl from the local Jingpo tribe and made them belly up, but he had to get married if he didn't get married, otherwise he would break his leg and throw him into the ravine. In this way, his brother settled down there, and he couldn't come back if he wanted to, because the policy stipulates that as long as the educated youth and the local people get married, the household registration can't be transferred back, so in the end, he was the only one who ran back.

This old man is a good gambler, often goes to gamble with a group of workers in the coking plant after work, loses more and wins less, borrows money everywhere, and even steals things, so that his relatives around him are unwilling to associate with him, and later his daughter-in-law also left him and threw the child to him. This time, the two stones he gave to Hong Tao were given to him by his brother when he returned to Beijing, saying that he should respond to emergencies when he came back, but he didn't expect them to be cheaper for Hong Tao.

The reason why his brother was able to get these rough stones was mainly due to his Jingpo wife, who was said to be a big family in the local Jingpo village, with five or six brothers alone, in addition to planting a little mountain field and hunting, the most important livelihood was the horse gang. The caravan is a pack caravan, and there are mountains all over there. There are also no roads, and the goods in and out are transported by a bantam horse called the Dian horse, which has good endurance. He was good at walking mountain roads, so a few, a dozen, or dozens of horses got together and became a transport team, and those who did this kind of business were called horse gangs.

The third sister-in-law's caravan was not large, only four or five horses, but their caravan was not used to transport daily necessities. It's not about transporting precious salt, it's about smuggling. Because his sister-in-law's stockade is close to the border between China and Myanmar, the locals often go deep into Myanmar. Use the cloth and salt here to exchange it for a very special commodity from there, Ya Pian.

To put it mildly, the third sister-in-law's family should be drug dealers. However, the management of the border was chaotic in those days. The border people on both sides are basically the same ethnic group, which is called Jingpo on the Chinese side and Kachin on the Burmese side. Everyone looks the same, and they have been coming and going so casually for generations, and they are all ethnic minorities, so the government doesn't care much, and it can't manage it.

This time, in order to make money, the third child went to his brother's house with great difficulty. Tell his brother about the whole thing, and his brother can't figure out what Hong Tao wants so many jade rough stones for. As a result, as soon as the two brothers combined, they simply didn't run to Myanmar for a while, and bought it directly in the nearby village, anyway, almost every border person here often came and went with Myanmar, and there was no shortage of jade rough stones in their hands.

So, the third child exchanged his brother's money and two pigs for two sacks of stones, which were more than 200 catties, and then trekked back to Hong Tao. When the second master called Hong Tao and asked him to go over to see the goods, Hong Tao was very suspicious that the third child had also practiced any internal kung fu, otherwise how did he get these two sacks back, not to mention how he got on the train, that is, the distance from the platform to the subway was a few hundred meters, Hong Tao felt that he was choking enough to carry it.

Anyway, the stone people got it back for us, and the second master also looked at each other, shaking his head while passing his eyes, not because the condition of these rough stones was not good, but because this operation technique was too rough. The windows on these jadeite rough stones are not cut out with a grinding wheel at all, and many of them have new stubble, which are hard to knock down at a glance, and only a small part is the skin that has been worn off.

"I said third uncle, you have also seen the master who has played, this thing can open the window like this! You just take a hammer and smash it for me!" "Although Hong Tao is not very knowledgeable, he also knows that with such a rough bump, the jade in the stone will have cracks, and his value will plummet, if he is not in a hurry, it must be fake, if it is not for the guarantee of the second master, he will not give money.

"Xiao Tao, it's not the third uncle and my mallet, it's that there is really no suitable thing in the village over there to cut this, they don't even have electricity, you say what do you want me to do, you don't want to take it back if you don't open your mouth, if you want to open your mouth, you can only use a firewood knife to chop it, these few pieces are neat, I and my brother took it to the river and rubbed it out on the big stone. Don't worry, next time I go again, I'll have a long memory, I'll go with a bundle of steel files, and I'll be frustrated one by one when I get to the place, it's all done, right?"

In the end, Hong Tao gritted his teeth and accepted this pile of rough stones, a total of two hundred and fourteen and a half catties, Hong Tao simply counted two hundred and fifteen catties, according to the price said before, one hundred and fifty thousand catties, which is more than 32,000 yuan. When he and the third child were in the yard with the scales used to buy vegetables and meat in Grandpa Dajiang's restaurant, and weighed these jade rough stones basket by basket, there was always a feeling in his heart that it was not very real.

The third child who felt the same way as him was the second master, and when the second master put three bundles of ten-yuan bills in a schoolbag and handed them to him, he also felt so unreal and so exciting. It turns out that he has been lying on a treasure mountain all these years, but he has been living so wolf all these years, what is this Nima called!

A playful shouting that I want to ...... I want to! a playful say I have ...... I have! If we can't get together, we're all in trouble. Hong Tao and the third child is such a pair of positive and negative electrodes, snapped together, when the two sides have money in one hand, one hand of goods, and the money and goods are clear, the third child secretly pulled out a small paper bag from the armpit of the underwear, opened it and handed it to Hong Tao.

"My brother said, 5,000 yuan, no two prices, this is the old pit he got from Burma, the skin is slowly worn off by himself, originally planned to save for the child to marry his daughter-in-law, but he didn't raise two sons, he won't hide it, let me take it out and sell it to him for a good price, go back to buy a few horses, and also go to the horse gang to buy a share, so as not to rely on my sister-in-law and can't raise my head. ”

“…… Yes, 5,000 is 5,000, and I'll get you the money in a moment. Before Hong Tao took it, he already liked the thing in the third hand.

He handed over a transparent stone the size of a soap, not all green, only a slight patch of green at one end, most of which was colorless. Its transparency is very good, if it is not in the hands of the third child, replaced by someone else he doesn't know, Hong Tao will definitely not think that this is a piece of jade, 100% will think that it is a piece of handicraft glass object. Although Hong Tao doesn't understand jade or jadeite, he still has basic senses, as long as this thing is not a fake, then Hong Tao thinks it should be a good boutique, so he didn't even ask the second master, and accepted it directly.

"It's a good thing, it's a pity that it's a little smaller, and I can't make a bracelet, this is a glass species, and the water head is enough, but it lacks color!" The second master reached out and took the piece of jade, held it up and shone it in the sun, very satisfied.

"Well, then I'll give it to you, don't keep saying I'm a white-eyed wolf in the future, five thousand yuan will be given away, where can I find such a white-eyed wolf? If so, you can also find me a few." Hong Tao is not interested in this kind of jewelry and jade, in his opinion, this thing has only one purpose, that is, to exchange money, if there is no room for appreciation, he would rather spend 5,000 yuan to buy a bicycle to ride, than to buy this kind of things that can't be eaten, drunk, or used to look at, since the second master likes it, then give it to him.

"Cheng! hard air, then I'll take it...... Do you really give it?" The second master thought that Hong Tao was a swollen face and a fat man, and he was bluffing himself with good obedience, but he put the jade in his pocket, Hong Tao was still not in a hurry, and was still muttering something with the third child.

"Take it upstairs and show it, I still have something to do with the third uncle...... As a result, Hong Tao really didn't care about the jade, he didn't even turn his head, and waved his hand at the second master like a fly.

Hong Tao was discussing with the third brother how to get the next batch of stones back, and he didn't have the time to take care of the second master, let alone ponder the jade. And Hong Tao has a new plan, he is encouraging the third child not to go to any classes at all, and to help him collect these stones full-time. My appetite is big, not only these jade rough stones, but also other jade raw materials, anyway, the third child has a family heirloom, at least he won't be too blind.

And Hong Tao is not a picky eater, as long as it is a serious raw material, as for what kind of water, color, I don't care. Let's play the quantity, is it the best, after fifteen years to talk about this problem, and so the market has been the price of jade, jade, crystal to the sky, each gram is more expensive than gold, Hong Tao does not believe that his yard of stones can not come out of a few superb.

The third child is almost ready for Hong Tao's mentions, he is already a lazy character, and he is late to work and leaves early, stealing and playing tricks, if it weren't for the sake of earning food and tuition money for his son, he would have quit a long time ago. Now Hong Tao has pointed out a clear way for him, not only using the only bit of jade knowledge he can get his hands on, but also making a lot of money, if he doesn't do it, he will really become a fool. For a man, earning money is one thing, and it is also very important to have a sense of saving and having someone else who needs you. (To be continued......)
