Chapter 3 The Road Back to the City Gambling Stone Town
"You don't lie down at home and rest more, why are you running here alone in a daze?" Xiao Gufen came to the company to find Zhang Rengui for something, and when he saw him lowering his head, he looked absent-minded and thinking about his thoughts, and asked in surprise.
"Ding Lan is really eyeless, how could he like this kind of man? In addition to being reckless and causing trouble everywhere, I can't find any other virtues in him that are worthy of love. There are many men in the world, I really fell in love with him, and now I am even more stupid, and I am angry when I look at him! ”
She and Ding Lan have been together since they were children, they have nothing to say, and they are the best friends. Both of them are good-looking, and they have persuaded Ding Lan countless times to give up, but Ding Lan insisted on refusing, eating wine and not food, everyone loves it, and she can't help it. For Ding Lan's sake, seeing that his mother was too poor and pitiful, he regarded it as helping Ding Lan share some of his fatigue, and during this time, he was patient and came to take care of him, and took 30 yuan to give his mother for the travel expenses, but he didn't like him and looked down on him.
"Hehe, I suddenly remembered something interesting, nothing, nothing!" Xie Lei couldn't explain it to her, so he prevaricated casually.
"I think you're getting nervous, thanks to Ding Lan taking care of you day and night!" Xiao Gufen said reproachfully, turned around and entered the company office. As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhang Rengui's roaring curse: "I x you Xie Lei's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, if you can return to the city, Lao Tzu will be **..."
"Company Commander Zhang? …”
"You guys, what do you look at, the report will be handed over to the regiment department this afternoon, don't hurry up and get it!" Zhang Rengui, who was seriously insulted, poured his anger on the female intellectuals who were making reports, reprimanded him without words, turned around and walked out of the office.
"What's wrong with Zhang Rengui today, he was so angry that he even dropped the teacup?" Watching him go out angrily, Xiao Gufen pulled Li Xiaoling and asked. Several female intellectuals didn't speak, covering their mouths and laughing secretly.
"Really, why is he so stupid? ..., he can't go back to the city to close my, but it's hurting Ding Lan! Xiao Gufen listened to what Li Xiaoling said when she pulled her aside, and her heart was furious, and she wanted to slap Xie Lei twice: "You don't harm people like this, you damn fool, at this juncture, others are afraid that it will be too late to slap him, it's better for you to just announce your withdrawal and not say it, but also harm Ding Lan and me!"
But who doesn't want to return to the city for all the educated youths who have been tortured and stayed for several years in this poor mountain and bad water? There are thousands or tens of thousands of people on a farm, and there are only a dozen of them returning to the city each time, and everyone is racking their brains to find ways to curry favor with leaders at all levels, secretly giving gifts and money, and some female intellectuals even do not hesitate to exchange for this poor opportunity to return to the city at the cost of their bodies.
"It's over, it makes him angry, he only dreams if he wants to return to the city, this damn Xie Lei, go back to you to settle accounts,..." After Xiao Gufen heard this, he was angry and anxious, but he was helpless.
"Leiwa, today I went to Ganna Town, and I saw a person who lost a gambling stone and wanted to commit suicide, but fortunately his friend found him early and stopped him in time by the Ganna River!" Hong Xiaobo, who came back from work in the evening, put a piece of milk powder on the table, and talked about what he saw in the town while washing his hands.
"You went to Ganna?"
"Yes, seeing that you shed so much blood, I couldn't bear it, old classmate, I quit smoking for half a month, saved you a milk powder money, and I happened to meet Master Xiao at the regiment headquarters when I went to work, and I took a ride back and forth, without spending a penny!"
In Xie Lei's memory of his previous life, the town of Ganna, which borders China in Myanmar, is famous for gambling stones, and there are many rumors of getting rich overnight. It immediately aroused his interest, "If you want to change the status quo as soon as possible, this gambling stone is the best opportunity!" ”
"How far is that Gana town from us?"
"Leiwa, can't you even remember these? Hong Xiaobo was completely speechless.
"I'm sorry, Xiaobo, I really can't remember!" Xie Lei said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I'm still here, who made you and I a brother of life and death in crotch pants!" Hong Xiaobo comforted, his eyes full of sympathy, "This time he hit the stone, his brain may be really damaged, what should he do in the future!" ”
"Tomorrow take me to Ganna Town, I want to go there!"
"I don't know when Master Xiao will get out of the car, I can't take his ride, we are four yuan for a round-trip ticket, a distance of twelve or three kilometers, looking at your sick appearance, walking is definitely not good!"
I have been to the regiment headquarters in the town, but I don't specifically want to ask for subsidies, but when I travel here, I always have to understand the environment here.
On the way, I met my classmate Xu Zhiqiang and accompanied him to the regiment headquarters. Regimental Commander Zhao went to the county for a meeting, and Tang Jianchuan, secretary of the Youth League Headquarters, said that he could not make the decision on the subsidy alone, and that he would have to wait for Regimental Commander Zhao to come back and study it.
The next morning, Xie Lei and Hong Xiaobo were so lucky, they came to the town, and happened to meet Master Xiao getting out of the car, a 20-seater minibus, only half of them sat down, out of the town, and took a ride to Ganna Town.
Xie Lei's Menglian Farm, which borders Myanmar. The 'Quna Town', where the regiment headquarters is located, is a land border inspection station set up in Huaxia. Tourists who go to Gana town in Myanmar through the town must go through border crossing procedures here, and can only be released with a border permit and tourist passport. Of course, for these 'natives', there are no restrictions on these terms.
The 'Gana Town' on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar, although it is not big, but the merchants gather, China and goods from India and Myanmar are intertwined, and all kinds of smuggled goods are placed in the shops in a grand manner. There are also a variety of exotic style goods in the town!
Rows of shops are lined up next to each other. People of different colors, costumes, accents and languages also gather in this small tourist town.
At the door of the shops on both sides of the narrow street, there are many stones that have been cut in small pieces and have not been cut, commonly known as 'skylights', and stones called 'wool' by industry insiders. Visitors can try their luck and see if they are lucky enough to bet on which stone will contain good jadeite.
The reason why Gana Town is famous is that it buys smuggled goods and gambles, but also because it is an irreplaceable jade trading and distribution center in the Asian jade industry - gambling stone industry.
"You know how they bet on stones?" Xie Lei and Hong Xiaobo didn't have much money in their pockets, wandering around the town aimlessly, Xie Lei asked casually.
"It is in these small courtyards to gamble on stones, seeing so many guns of old Burma standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, there are many gamblers, and the losses are quite miserable, and I don't know how many gamblers will be in the Ganna River every year. We don't have any money, we can't get in, so know how they gamble! ”
"Oh..."
"Leiwa, I noticed that you became weird after the accident, and your personality changed, as if you had never been to this town. Those 'brick materials' that deceive outsiders, what are you doing touching it, are you tired, or we will sit on that step and rest for a while! ”
"It's okay, don't get tired when you walk slowly!"
"It's almost noon, why don't we go to eat a bowl of 'fire noodles', Master Xiao said, his car will go back at one o'clock in the afternoon, and we can also save two yuan in car money,..., what are you thinking?" Hong Xiaobo found that he was not listening at all, and his right hand was on a 'brick', looking a little like he was in a daze.
Xie Lei, who came through the crossing, of course, came to this town for the first time, but it was impossible to tell him about it, and even the good brother in front of him, who had been wearing crotch pants since he was a child, only met him after waking up. Everything in this era and here is completely foreign to him.
When I saw the 'stones' on the side of the road, I was just as interested as other tourists, thinking about how to make a fortune. There are probably dozens of them. When he touched the stone, he suddenly felt the ingredients in the stone, which clearly appeared in his mind.
It is full of impurities containing silicon, the surface of the incision, it seems to be a little green, there is no jade composition in the stone at all, just now he touched a jade bracelet in a store, what the jade composition looks like, he knows very well. Not bothering to answer his question, he walked a few steps and reached out to the 'wool' in front of another shop.
"That's right, you can feel it!" Xie Lei showed a smile on his face.
"Traveling to this era and this place, the big guy didn't give me cultivation cheats, didn't leave me spars, magic weapons, pills and other things, but left me memories of my previous life. Now, he has discovered this ability to make money, if he doesn't make good use of it, it will really be a waste of his hometown's hard work! ”
From the memory of his previous life, Xie Lei knew: "Gambling stone is a unique way of trading high-grade jadeite rough stones that is popular in the Yunnan-Myanmar border area, and it attracts jade merchants from all over the world to participate in its gambling color, strong stimulation and high risk!"
There is a saying that gambling on stones is like gambling on life. Bet on the right one hundred times and a thousand times to make money, and become a rich man overnight. If you suffer, no matter how much money you have, you will lose everything!
It is said that there is a gambling stone expert in history, because of the gambling "one side of the jade" and rich one, in order to show off his wealth, after his death, the descendants will thousands of pairs of high-grade jade bracelets, tied into a coffin cover as a funeral goods to coax China, people who want to dig graves and make a fortune even the mountains of the entire region where he is located have dug all over!
The unprocessed jadeite rough is called 'wool', the full green wool is called 'color goods', and the uneven green wool is called 'flower brand material'. The large pieces of wool without high emerald are called 'brick materials'! ”
"Haha, haha, find a way to gamble on it, overnight, change the fate of this poverty! How can you get involved? After touching the wool, he had the bottom in his heart, and walked aimlessly around the town, trying his best to think of ways to participate in gambling.
"Leiwa, you are touching all the way, constantly smirking, and talking to yourself, weird, so worrying!"
"Hehe, Xiaobo, I'm thinking about finding a way to get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. Let's go to that shop for noodles, I'm in for a treat! ”
"Leiwa, look, yesterday was the fat man who wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide!" At the door of the noodle restaurant, Hong Xiaobo pulled Xie Lei's clothes and whispered.
