The next day, Xiao Ping set off with Mao Wenqing, Hu Qiang and others.

Because of the cooperation with a jade master like Xiao Ping, Mao Wenqing also plans to do a big job at this gambling stone meeting. Although Mao Wenqing didn't say exactly how much money he had prepared this time, judging from the eight capable guys he brought with him, Xiao Ping could guess that the money must not be a small amount.

The two were joined by Hu Qiang and two of his subordinates. He originally cooperated with Mao Wenqing, so he didn't bring any money, just to watch the fun. However, whether there is any intention to supervise Mao Wenqing in this, I'm afraid no one can say clearly.

Xiao Ping is naturally still alone, anyway, he only brought the capital of 1.5 million yuan that he had said in advance. Such a small amount of money is nothing at all, and it is not very eye-catching to put in his bag, so he went directly with cash.

The group first flew to Chuncheng, the capital of southern Yunnan Province, and then took a bus to the famous county of Mengkan in Xishuangbanna, which is close to Myanmar, the source of jadeite rough.

It was the first time for Xiao Ping to come to such a remote small county, looking east and west on the street, and he was very curious about everything. Especially those Dai girls who wore tight tube skirts and had a bewitching figure made Xiao Ping even more interested. And Hu Qiang, the color embryo, saw straight eyes all the way, and quietly found Mao Wenqing's subordinates who had come here in private, and asked them if there were any entertainment venues to have fun here.

In contrast, Mao Wenqing was much calmer, and after arriving, he first found a hotel in the county seat to stay, and at the same time asked several of his subordinates to go out to find out the news. Although gambling on stones is not illegal, after all, a lot of money and priceless jade rough stones are involved, and the organizers are always very careful. The specific time and place of the gambling stone meeting will be decided shortly before the start, and Mao Wenqing's subordinates are going to inquire about it.

Xiao Ping and Hu Qiang both stayed in Mao Wenqing's room, waiting for his inquiring men to return. Mao Wenqing seemed quite calm, chatting with the two while playing with a wooden bracelet. In contrast, Xiao Ping was even more relaxed, he looked at Mao Wenqing, who was playing with the bracelet, and asked curiously: "Boss Mao, is this bracelet very precious?" ”

"Oh, this is a bracelet of Xiaoye Rosewood, and it is not particularly precious, but I am used to wearing it. Mao Wenqing said as he handed the bracelet to Xiao Ping and said, "If Brother Xiao likes it, I'll give it to you." ”

Xiao Ping hurriedly said: "Don't, I'm just curious, but I don't dare to ask Boss Mao to cut my love." ”

Xiao Ping knew very well in his heart that although Mao Wenqing said it lightly, the objects that could be carried with him were definitely not ordinary. Xiao Ping didn't want to win people's love, he noticed that Mao Wenqing specifically mentioned the material of the bracelet, and just asked with interest: "Is this small leaf red sandalwood very precious?"

"Rosewood is one of the finest pieces of rosewood, and it has been one of the most precious woods since the Han Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was the most, and now it is very rare. Speaking of his hobbies, Mao Wenqing also gushed: "This kind of tree grows very slowly, and it can't grow at all without more than a hundred years." Moreover, the bark of the tree is often full of hollows, and there has always been a saying of 'ten sandalwood and nine emptiness', which also makes this wood material more precious. Last year, I bought some large rosewood materials, which are about two meters long and half a foot thick, and the price per ton is 1.2 million. ”

"So expensive?" Mao Wenqing's words surprised Xiao Ping, and he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "The newly generated hillside in the demon refining pot is completely empty, if only some small leaves of red sandalwood could be planted." ”

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping hurriedly asked Mao Wenqing: "Is there any such sapling for sale outside now?" or seeds!"

Mao Wenqing glanced at Xiao Ping with some surprise and said, "Brother Xiao is also interested in this, but the growth rate of small-leaved red sandalwood is extremely slow, if you plant it now, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you may not be able to achieve maturity." ”…,

Xiao Ping smiled: "I'm just playing around, and when I reach the age of retirement, I'll be satisfied if I can make a few bracelets." ”

"Then you've come to the right place this time. Mao Wenqing also smiled: "Rosewood microphylla is the best from India, but it is also produced in southern Xinjiang. When the gambling stone meeting is over, you and I will walk around Spring City, and we should be able to find the saplings. ”

Xiao Pingxi said: "That's great, I'll thank you first." ”

Mao Wenqing hurriedly said: "Everyone is a friend, why bother to say anything Xie Lu Xie? Brother Xiao, you are too much of an outsider." ”

Since Mao Wenqing said so, Xiao Ping also said generously: "Then I'm not welcome." ”

"That's right. Mao Wenqing also smiled with satisfaction.

Several people chatted for a while, and Mao Wenqing's subordinates who went out to inquire about the news came back one after another. They brought back a bad news, because the border has not been very peaceful recently, so the location of the gambling stone club has been changed, and the time has been advanced, early tomorrow morning. The new location is a bit remote, and if you want to get there in time, you have to leave right away.

Mao Wenqing didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to contact the vehicle to prepare for departure. Hu Qiang originally wanted to stay in the county seat for one night, so as to take the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful women full of alien customs here. But after all, it is more important to gamble on stones, although he is very dissatisfied in his heart, but he can only follow everyone.

However, Xiao Ping was quite happy, and it was good news for him that the gambling stone would be in advance. Xiao Ping just wanted to get this done quickly, and then find the sapling of the small leaf red sandalwood and rush back to the provincial capital as soon as possible. Xiao Ping hopes that Song Lei's emotions can be healed as soon as possible after her mood stabilizes, so that Xiao Pepper will suffer a little less.

Mao Wenqing's men found two vans, and more than a dozen people crowded into the two vans, rushing to the new trading location overnight. The southwestern border is rugged and full of mountain valleys, and it is very intimidating to drive on winding roads in the middle of the night. Only locals who are familiar with the road dare to walk at night in the mountains, and others will never dare to change to others.

Many times the narrow roads are bordered by high mountain walls on one side and deep cliffs on the other. Especially at night, you often have to wait for the car to drive to the side of the cliff to find it, and a few meters further is the unfathomable abyss, and you don't know how deep the road is in the dark. This journey can be described as thrilling, Xiao Ping's spirit has been highly tense, and the cold sweat on his back has hardly been dry. Mao Wenqing and Hu Qiang were also very nervous, and the latter was so frightened that his face was pale and his legs were weak.

Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and by the time it was dawn, both vans arrived at their destination safely. As the car slowly drove into a small piece of flat land between the two mountains, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief.

=== Dividing line of interpretation ===

In reality, there is indeed a county called "Mengkan", in order to avoid trouble, Haima changed the name of the county, but the pronunciation is still the same, please understand.

There are some cards today, and it's a little late, so please bear with me, and continue to ask for tickets and collections!

Thanks to the reward of "Dingfeng Wave 0328" and "The End of the World World 5".
