Chapter 381, Gambling Stone
80_80796 Since Li Mingze mentioned that he wanted to see Mei Lan in the year of Mousse, Mei Lan has waited for three weeks and has not heard from him, it seems that this year of Mousse is really busy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the National Day, and it was rare that Cai Ganlin also had a few days off, so he took Mei Lan to board the plane to Kunming, accompanied by Yu and Lin Na Xiao Hong, and Liu Jia and Li Jing stayed to watch their families.
This trip was promised by Cai Ganlin a long time ago, but this place in Yunnan was proposed by Yu, since the last time he saw the skulls of those Peking ape people in Zhoukoudian, he wanted to go to see the ruins of the Yuanmou people in Yunnan, because it was the earliest human site found on the earth so far.
Mei Lan and his entourage arrived in Kunming on the evening of the 30th, the hotel was temporarily chosen, the next morning, after eating a meal of rice noodles across the bridge in a small shop on the street, Lin Na and Xiao Hong went to the car dealer to rent a van, and several people began this trip to Yunnan.
The first stop is the Yuanmou ruins that the rain wants to go, less than 200 kilometers away from Kunming, out of the urban area on the highway, the golden autumn October, it is the harvest season, the road is full of golden rice fields and red, yellow and green orchards, the sky here is much bluer than Beijing, also translucent, even the mood of the people has become happy.
Along the way, Mei Lan was chattering, seeing the rice fields, she would think of the figure she used to bend over to work, when she saw the orange trees, she would think of the time when she was a child and her friends in the village climbed trees to steal oranges, and when she saw the stone forest on the side of the road, she would be amazed by the magic of nature.
Cai Ganlin didn't feel annoyed, and occasionally made a few noises, most of the time he listened quietly, holding Mei Lan's hand and touching the calluses on Mei Lan's hands.
At noon, Mei Lan and his entourage rushed to Yuanmou, the so-called ruins. It's just a mountain rock, and a few tombstones piled up on the mountain rocks, and of course there is an exhibition hall, Mei Lan can't see why, but Yu is particularly interested in these, and he asks someone to stay.
Mei Lan knew that he had something to do, maybe he still wanted to travel back in time to that era in a time machine to see. So I didn't dare to delay him. After walking around the vicinity of Yuanmou Ancient Town, the few of them drove straight to Lijiang Old Town and stayed in Lijiang Old Town for two nights. I felt the local minority culture, but unfortunately, in Cai Ganlin's words, the commercial atmosphere is too strong.
So Mei Lan and the others went to several ancient towns nearby, and also went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Coming down from the snow-capped mountain, Mei Lan and his entourage arrived in Dali again.
Dali is also an ancient city. Unlike Lijiang, Dali is an ancient city with a city wall, with the famous Chongsheng Temple and three pagodas, and the beautiful Erhai Lake. There is the legendary butterfly spring, the butterfly Meilan is not seen, and the tourists are continuous. He didn't come to see the scene, he came to see people.
Thereupon. After lingering in Dali for two days, Meilan and the others rushed to the last stop of this trip, Tengchong.
The reason why Tengchong was chosen is because it is an important town on the ancient Southwest Silk Road at the junction with Myanmar, and it is also a distribution center for jewelry and jade.
After Mei Lan didn't do stocks, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he read the novel, and there are many female protagonists and male protagonists in those rebirth novels who have abilities, especially the ability of gambling stones, Mei Lan is also a curious person, knowing that there is such a thing, how can there be no reason not to want to give it a try?
What's more, she also likes those colorful jadeites.
What Mei Lan didn't expect was that as soon as they entered Tengchong Ancient City, Cai Ganlin's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be Duan Hangang, Yue Lunkun and Li Mingze chasing after them.
The three of them also came temporarily, because they heard that Mei Lan and Cai Ganlin were coming to Tengchong, and they must have come to Tengchong to buy jadeite, in addition to buying jadeite, there is one more thing that can be done, that is, betting on the rough.
These three people were convinced of Mei Lan's financial luck, and when they thought of gambling stones, where could the three of them sit in Beijing, they bought air tickets overnight and rushed over.
Knowing that the three of them were booking a room in an inn in Tengchong and waiting for Mei Lan, Mei Lan pouted.
The three of them booked an inn in Heshun Ancient Town, for safety and quiet, the three of them chartered this inn, and when Mei Lan arrived, they were discussing with the landlord what to eat.
"Second sister-in-law, come on, my brother knows what you like to eat, and he has already arranged it for you, and even the hot water has been prepared for you, and we can start eating when you finish taking a bath." As soon as Li Mingze saw Mei Lan, he greeted him.
Yue Lunkun gave a disdainful look in the back, then turned around and continued to order food from the landlord.
"Mei Lan, where is your master?" Duan Hangang asked.
"My master will be here tomorrow, and he will go to Yuanmou to investigate."
Yu didn't want to come to Tengchong, he didn't have much interest in these jadeite, but Mei Lan asked him a few questions, such as how many thousands of years did this jade take to form, how did it form, and did their planet have this kind of rough stone?
A series of questions were asked so much that Yu was also tempted, so he agreed to come and have a look.
"Mei Lan, why did you leave him alone?" Duan Han was a little anxious when he heard this, when he went out, who knew how many passers-by were thinking about him, this old man was so good, he dared to walk alone.
But then again, this old man has always been used to walking alone, Mei Lan said that he has been alone in the field of investigation all these years, and when he was in Beijing, he also went out alone, except for Mei Lan, it seems that he has no other relatives and friends.
It is indeed a very mysterious and strange old man.
"Mei Lan, does your master still have some mysterious escape technique, otherwise, many people outside are waiting to catch him, how dare he run around alone?" Duan Hangang asked half-truthfully.
"That is, who is my master? There will definitely be a little bit of Qimen Dunjia Technique, but he refuses to teach me, saying that I am not talented enough, why don't you try it and see if I can accept you as an apprentice? Mei Lan also replied half-truthfully.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, aren't there people from your Security Service secretly protecting him?" Cai Ganlin asked.
"Besides, the air tickets you bought temporarily, the hotels you bought temporarily, the car you rented temporarily, and the travel route that you decided temporarily, tossed the people of the Security Bureau enough, and now I don't know where to find you." Duan Hangang smiled and gave Cai Ganlin a thumbs up.
Cai Ganlin shook his head, didn't say anything, and asked Li Mingze to take them to the backyard to find their room.
The backyard is a small L-shaped wooden second floor, there is a small rockery and two mango trees in front of the building, and when you go upstairs, you can see the clear river outside the backyard wall.
"It's a bit like Lijiang."
"If you like it."
Such an ancient town and ancient city are not attractive to a person who has just come from the Southern Song Dynasty, the reason why Cai Ganlin took Mei Lan out to play was purely to make Mei Lan happy, of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to test whether there was anyone else fighting Mei Lan's idea.
The two of them washed up briefly, went downstairs and went out from the back door, down a few floors of steps, there are two bluestone slabs, which are used for washing clothes and vegetables, and there are occasional bamboo rafts floating in the river.
Although her hometown Qutang is also an ancient town, but compared with here, the modern atmosphere over there is too strong, except for the ancient street that still maintains a bit of the original appearance, the rest of the houses are new-style buildings, relatively speaking, Mei Lan prefers the simplicity and tranquility here, as if time has stood still.
"There's also a little bit of an ancient town here." Cai Ganlin nodded and said.
"Really? If you like, we can come more often in the future. Mei Lan said while taking pictures with her phone.
"I'll come with you if you like me." Cai Ganlin looked at Mei Lan's smile like a flower, and the expression on her face softened a lot.
"Can you do anything I like?" Mei Lan's eyes rolled, and she raised her little face and leaned over to Cai Ganlin's side to ask.
"What's the bad idea again?" Cai Ganlin is too familiar with Mei Lan's expression.
Mei Lan was just about to speak, but Xiao Hong came to find her, saying that dinner was cooked, and Mei Lan had no choice but to give up.
Dinner is a pot, a little similar to the Northeast stew, the difference is that people are neat and tidy with layers of dishes, things are not messy, but the taste is skewered, looking at it has an appetite, Mei Lan likes to eat very much.
In addition, there are fried bait blocks, fried bait shreds, etc., which makes Mei Lan feel that the strangest taste is a cold dish of the Dai nationality, what is it called, not to mention sour and spicy, and a little bitter.
After the meal, a few people walked along the bluestone road in front of the door to the street, although the street here is very narrow, but very prosperous, full of jade, rattan crafts, embroidery, and the four treasures of the study, Mei Lan bought a lot of embroidery and rattan crafts.
"Second sister-in-law, let's go to this house to have fun." Li Mingze took Mei Lan into a jade shop.
The shop is not large, but there is a large backyard, and the backyard is piled with a large pile of stones in various shapes, which is called rubble.
"How do you choose this? I seem to say that I want to see what kind of pattern? Merlin crouched down and touched a stone to look.
The shopkeeper is a man in his forties, who smiled when he heard Mei Lan's words, and said: "The probability of choosing this pile of stones is very low, of course, the stones here are also cheap, a hundred yuan a piece, pick at will, open it for you on the spot, if you really want to buy it, there is good wool in the house, that is the patterned, a thousand yuan a kilogram, which one are you willing to play?" ”
"I'm going to take a hundred dollars to try my luck first." Merlin smiled.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a clairvoyant eye, nor does she have any aura as others say, she is just looking for a match, she pulled for a long time, picked a total of ten yuan, paid a thousand yuan, and let the boss open it on the spot.
It's not bad, one of the ten stones blooms green, although the water head is not very good, but according to the boss, the stone in Mei Lan's hand can be sold for 50,000 yuan, Mei Lan didn't think about it, sold the stone to the boss, and then took the 50,000 yuan into the house. (To be continued)
