Zhao Qingsi didn't come out of the room all afternoon, and the phone was turned off and couldn't get through. Li Yang wanted to come forward and knock on the door several times but when he got to the door and retreated, he got along with Zhao Qingsi these days, and he also figured out some of her temper, so he didn't dare to disturb abruptly.

Only in the evening did Zhao Qingsi come out of the room, his face was still a little pale, Li Yang stepped forward to ask, but he didn't get a good face. Only then did he realize that he had asked the wrong question. There are a few days a month when a woman feels uncomfortable and is in a bad mood. It's just that Zhao Qingsi's face is still pale now, so this afternoon must not be easy.

Zhang Taiping came back and happened to see the pale Zhao Qingsi coming down from the upper floor, and the ghost envoy said in a hurry: "And some brown sugar water, add some honey." After he finished speaking, he didn't understand why he reflected it and blurted out such a sentence.

Zhao Qingsi was stunned, didn't react for a while, and then nodded and didn't speak.

When eating, I really saw Zhao Qingsi sitting on the side with a glass of brown sugar water with an expressionless face. After the meal, Zhang Taiping sent some honey over, which was all what he said at the time, brown sugar water and honey.

Zhao Qingsi opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Taiping, who was a little surprised, for some reason along the way, Zhang Dashuai had always been able to drink and keep his distance, why did he knock on the door again at this time.

After opening the door, Zhang Taiping handed over a small jade bottle with some honey in it.

"What is this?" Zhao Qingsi was a little curious, and he didn't know why he suddenly sent something over. After so many years, the years of playing together are gone, and I can't tell Zhang Taiping what it feels like now. At that time, I heard that he was already married and that his children were already able to make soy sauce, and he didn't have any special feelings in his heart. If you put aside the surname cultivated in the past few years, you will never be like this to any man, especially a man who has already been married, maybe it is a nostalgia for the green years when he was young, he was not worried and crazy.

"Honey."

"Honey? You went out and bought it? ”

Zhang Taiping couldn't tell that the honey was taken from the space, so he nodded and acquiesced.

Zhao Qingsi didn't know what he was thinking now, so he leaned against the door frame and touched the mutton fat-like jade bottle without speaking.

"This honey can't be taken directly, and after going back, it can be melted with warm water before drinking." Zhang Taiping advised, this honey has not been diluted, and some people will have diarrhea if their stomach is not used to it. I can't drink it and have diarrhea tomorrow, then I really can't wash it when I jump into the Yellow River.

"Hmm." Zhao Qingsi nodded, but still didn't speak.

"I'll leave if there's nothing to do." Zhang Taiping actually didn't have any other thoughts about sending such a small bottle of honey, and he was ready to leave after sending it.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Just as Zhang Taiping turned to leave, Zhao Qingsi finally spoke.

Zhang Taiping thought about it, he didn't have a plan for tomorrow, and his affairs were not in a hurry, so he said, "There's nothing wrong." Is there something you can do? ”

"I'll want to go to Fengzhen tomorrow, so let's go with me if I have nothing to do." Zhao Qingsi said as he played with the jade bottle in his hand.

"Fengzhen?" Although Zhang Taiping also came to Inner Mongolia to do business, he didn't check it in advance, and he didn't know much about everything here, including the place name.

Zhao Qingsi explained with a smile: "It is a city in Inner Mongolia where jade and jade rough are gathered. ”

Only then did Zhang Taiping understand what she wanted to do here. Most people only know that Tengchong in Yunnan Province is adjacent to Myanmar and is China's largest jadeite rough base, but they don't know much about other places where rough stones are produced. In fact, there are not many other places, but there are not as many as those in Yunnan, coupled with the excessive development and publicity in recent years, the rough stone there seems to be famous but there is not much left. Therefore, in recent years, some people have come to Inner Mongolia to buy rough stones.

"You used to gamble on stones?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Zhao Qingsi shook his head: "I bought it in the past, not a gamble." I studied finance abroad, but my interest is closer to geological jewelry, and I have learned some knowledge in recent years. This time, I came back from abroad to open a jewelry store, and I am still in the planning and preparation stage, and I want to buy some rough stones first. Therefore, it is not mainly based on gambling stones, mainly to buy some finished or semi-finished products that have been cut out. ”

Zhang Taiping also knew a little bit about gambling on the Internet before, claiming that he could get rich overnight, and he could also go bankrupt overnight. Known as "a knife in heaven, a knife in hell", of course, it is heaven if the gambling rises, and it can be dozens of times or hundreds of times the income, but once it is cut down, it is also tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who are drifting like flowing water. This is a full gamble, the unknown surname is too strong, the gambling surname is too big, and there is also professional knowledge and experience to judge, but the accuracy rate has not been too high.

There is also a kind of semi-gambling, that is, someone cut half of the green and then did not cut it for various reasons, then there are some jewelry stores or people who make a fortune with this will buy this half-cut stone at a high price, and it is not so that everything is fine, and there is a gambling surname, maybe the exposed green is just a disguise, and the following is actually all glittering stones. The other is to cut it out completely and then buy it by those jade jewelry companies. No matter what kind of gambling method, the final result is to flow into the hands of jewelry companies to make various jade jade devices or pendant jewelry.

Zhang Taiping used to think that the two would not have any more contacts, so he didn't ask him what work he would do after returning to China, but now he learned that he was opening a jewelry store and starting his own business.

"Okay, you can call me when you leave tomorrow morning." After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhao Qingsi was still leaning on the door and watching his back as he left, rubbing the jade bottle, knowing that Zhang Taiping's back had disappeared before turning around and entering the room. Gently unscrew the stopper on the jade bottle, and immediately smell a special fragrance, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Sniffed, I had never seen such a pleasant aroma of honey, and I followed Zhang Taiping's advice, but just poured a little into the brown sugar water. The transparent silk drips into the brown sugar water and quickly dissolves, filling the whole cup with aroma.

Take a sip, and the sweet honey flavor and floral aroma linger between the tongue and teeth. She didn't like things that were too sweet, but today's honey brown sugar water was not disgusted, but there was still an indescribable feeling of warmth in her heart.

Soon after Zhang Taiping returned to his room, Yang Wanli and Zhang Qianlong came to knock on the door.

"Brother Zhang, let's go to Fengzhen City tomorrow." After entering the house, Yang Wanli said.

"You're also going to Fengzhen City?" Zhang Taiping was surprised.

"Oh? Does anyone else go too? Zhang Qianlong was also curious about Zhang Taiping's reaction.

Zhang Taiping suddenly reacted, Yang Wanli introduced Zhang Qianlong, and also opened a jewelry store, compared to tomorrow, he also used to buy jade and jade.

"Zhao Qingsi just invited me to go there tomorrow." Zhang Taiping shrugged his shoulders and replied.

Yang Wanli said with a smile: "That's right, we will go over together tomorrow, and there will be a guarantee between each other when there are more people." ”

Zhang Qianlong asked, "Did Miss Zhao gamble on stones in the past?" ”

"No, I guess it's the same purpose as you." Zhang Taiping shook his head.

After discussing the day together, the two left. Zhang Taiping took a bath, washed Xiaoxi, and rested.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qingsi came to knock on the door, and Zhang Taiping cleaned up and said: "Wait a little longer, Zhang Qianlong and Yang Wanli are also going to Fengzhen City today, let's go together." ”

"Well, let's go together." Zhao Qingsi turned around and walked towards the restaurant downstairs.

After eating some breakfast, Li Yang must be where there is Zhao Qingsi's figure, Zhang Qianlong also called Mr. Luo, who has carved all his life, and knows jade and jade. So when I left, all the people who were left in the hotel passed.

The road is not close, and it takes two hours to get there by taxi. Xiaoxi was already impatient after nesting in the car for more than two hours, and as soon as the car door opened, she screamed and flew out to spread Huan'er.

There is not only jadeite rough here, but also the trade of various stones, and the whole city can be seen everywhere for decoration or construction. The trade in jade rough has only become a culture in recent years, but it has grown rapidly and has become quite large-scale, with two streets full of all kinds of jade sold rough or carved into finished jade.

Zhang Qianlong learned that Zhao Qingsi came for the same purpose as himself, and after arriving here, he took the initiative to separate, but he bought his own, otherwise he would hurt his feelings when he met the stone that everyone was tempted by. After they left, only Zhao Qingsi, Zhang Taiping and Li Yang were left.

The shops are full of people. For the kind of shop that sells finished jade, Zhao Qingsi didn't look at it and skipped it directly, and first entered a courtyard with no plaque on the door, inside was a large courtyard, and several piles of stones of different colors were placed in the middle area, and there were already many people selecting.

I didn't see the shopkeeper come out to greet the customers, so I let the buyer choose by himself here, only an old man sitting on the chair next to him closed his eyes and recuperated, and opened his eyes a little when Zhang Taiping entered the courtyard.

Zhang Taiping and Li Yang didn't know how to look at the stone, only Zhao Qingsi was looking at the stone seriously, and Zhang Taiping and the two looked casually beside them.

Xiaoxi, this guy flew to the eaves of the courtyard when he saw that no one paid attention to him, causing the big dog not far from the courtyard gate to bark wildly. It's just that the guy on the eaves is not only not afraid, but more energetic, doing all kinds of actions on the eaves, provoking the big dog below the provocateur, making the big dog tied to the tree jump forward and pounce forward, barking more crazy, the thin chain is really worried that it can't withstand a few crazy pulls.
