"You heard it just now, Director Gai is going to take me around here, and I also want to see the situation outside the wall."

Gao Jie said: "I'll go and see if I can eat, eat quickly, I'll take you there, I know the way." ”

Gao Jie ran away, and after a while, he was shouting: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." ”

The dishes are simple and hearty, with a braised fish, a braised chicken, a duck stew with chestnuts, a mapo tofu, and stir-fried pork and vegetables.

"Gao Jie, where is your dad?"

"I'm going to mow the grass, I'll be back later, let's eat first."

Gai Yifan took the wine from the car, and he wanted to drive himself, so that Wuyang and Mu Lin could drink. The afternoon sun shirked, but Tu Mulin took the wine bottle and opened it. Gao Min said: "Two brothers, I'll accompany you." ”

Tu Mulin asked, "How are you going to accompany you?" ”

Gao Min said: "The two bottles of wine were opened, and the three people divided them. ”

Wuyang said: "Gao Min, I don't need you to accompany me, let's drink a bottle for the two of us." ”

Gao Min said: "I won't say that you bully the small with the big, I can drink it." ”

Gao Jie also said: "Brother Li, on the day my sister held the school promotion wine, she toasted one or two cups per table, and it was okay to drink 8 glasses." ”

Gao Min said: "There are still things, dizziness." ”

Tu Mulin said, "Okay, let's divide it." Gao Jie, you can help your sister drink. ”

Gao Jie said: "I'll accompany Brother Li to the mountains to have a look, and I can't drink." Sister, if you can't finish drinking, ask the two big brothers for help, they will definitely not refuse. ”

The food is good, the wine is good, the conversation is also harmonious, and the atmosphere is particularly good. Soon it was full. Wuyang and Gao Jie set off for the mountain. Out of everyone's sight. Gao Jie came to hold Wuyang's hand, "Brother Li, I brought gloves and took them off." ”

"Don't pick it, it's not beautiful if it's tanned, and I'm afraid of being hung by thorns later."

"Brother Li, you're so nice."

After walking for a while, there was a big gap in the hill on the side of the road. The red stone was already covered with moss. Gao Jie said: "Brother Li, this is where stones were once mined and used to build houses and walls. ”

"No wonder I saw that the house was that color, it turned out to be the true color of stone. The stone can be chiseled into bricks at will, which means that the hardness is not high. ”

"Yes. If you are often exposed to rain and frost outside, it is easy to weather, it is not solid, and now there is no one to build a house. ”

Wuyang knew that the age of the formation of this stone was not too long, and there might be gold ore veins nearby, not to mention that this was originally a region rich in gold. Thinking about it, I just look at the gap. Sure enough, the veins were seen underground.

"Gao Jie, go back. I went for a walk in the mountains alone. ”

"I'll go with you."

"No, you can't keep up, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and my leg and foot kung fu are better."

"I'll wait for you here."

"It's damp here, there's no place to sit, go back and pack your things, good."

"Then you should be a good one."

"Okay." Wuyang said, kissing her on the forehead.

Gao Jie smiled and said, "You are a dragonfly with water, no, I want to do it in the morning." With that, he leaned in. Wuyang held her face, her lips pressed up, and Gao Jie's body rubbed desperately on Wuyang's body.

After separating, Gao Jie went down the mountain, and Wuyang walked along the ore vein, and when he reached the wall, he turned over with a run.

The trees outside the fence are much more sparse, still of this red stone, and occasionally a few fields are planted with crops such as ginger, and some orange trees. He didn't bother to look closely, and kept running along the vein.

The temperature is not too high, 34 or 5 degrees, but after running for a long time, I still sweat. Sweat if you sweat, time matters. After running for half an hour, I found that the color of the stones on the ground had changed to blue-gray, the mountains were getting steeper and steeper, and the trees were getting taller and taller, but the clearing in the forest was still easy to run. After another half an hour, the front was stopped by a steep stone peak, and it was estimated that it would take half a day to climb over, so I had to go back.

The descent is a little easier and much faster. Back inside the base, look at the gap vein just now, and go all the way to the bottom of the reservoir before turning back.

Gao Jie's father was still eating, and the others were sitting everywhere, not talking, and Wuyang felt that the atmosphere was wrong. Pulled up Tu Mulin, who was sitting at the door, and went outside the door, "What's the matter, Mulin." ”

Tu Mulin said: "Gao Min was drunk, hugged Yifan, and was bumped into by Gao's father who broke into the room, and lost his temper. ”

"Can things still be reconciled?"

"It's okay, Gao Min borrowed wine to go crazy and made a fuss for a while, and her parents said that they didn't care about their sisters. Let's not stay here, let's go. ”

"Okay, I'll go in and say goodbye, and I'll leave right away."

After entering the door, he greeted Brother Gao and Sister-in-law Gao, saying that he was disturbed today, but Sister-in-law Gao still smiled at him, "Secretary Li, the child is young and has not been far away, please take care of me." ”

Wuyang said: "I will go back to Zhongnan tomorrow, Gao Jie will go to the capital, I will entrust my sister in the capital, arrange it, you can rest assured." ”

Gao Jie came out empty-handed, Gao Min carried a plastic bag in his hand, which contained a few carp, and smiled at Wuyang, "Director Gai fished, he wants to take a few back to eat." Do you want to? ”

Wuyang and Mu Lin shook their heads, and a few people got into the car. Tu Mulin sat in the co-pilot, Wuyang sat behind him, and Gao Jie sat in the middle of the back row, and the distinction was quite clear.

After the vehicle started, Wuyang asked, "Yifan, are you familiar with the area from outside the wall to the high mountains?" ”

Gao Min said: "Brother Li, I went to pick mushrooms with my mother, and I am quite familiar. ”

"How far is it from the base to the bottom of the mountain?"

"It's about 30 miles, and we walked for a day."

"Is it still a county territory?"

Gai Yifan said: "Yes. At that time, the county government asked us to buy land near the mountains, but we didn't ask for it. ”

Gao Min said: "Brother Li, it's unpleasant, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm fine, don't take it to heart."

Gao Min said: "It's normal for parents to want their daughter to have a good home, but they think that I follow Yifan, which is contrary to common sense and not a good girl." ”

Gai Yifan said: "They are right. Wuyang, after they made such a fuss, I also sobered up. This can't happen. If things get big. They have nothing to lose. I could lose my qiē, and the price was too great for me to afford. ”

"You can handle your affairs however you want. Yifan, go to work the day after tomorrow, Li Zhiyang will come to your unit, things won't change anything, right? ”

"No, don't worry. If you want to buy another piece of land next to it. It's best to buy the county first. Because our pricing is still secret for the time being, and the location is better than theirs, it is worth the price to be higher, and if you buy ours first, they will definitely raise the price. If you buy them first, they will still feel that in such a place deep in the mountains and old forests, only people whose heads are broken by the door panel will come to buy them. ”

The car was bumpy, Gao Jie's head hit Wuyang, and he glanced at him with a smile. Wuyang smiled and said, "Gao Jie, you also think that my head is broken, right?" ”

"Not me. It's all four of us who think so. ”

"It's okay, you're all young, and you'll see that I'm making a lot of money from here."

Gao Jie said: "I was tired just now, and there was a big smell of sweat on my body." ”

Gai Yifan said: "Wuyang, aren't you showing affection? ”

"Drive well. Gao Jie will go to the capital tomorrow, and as soon as Houmen enters the deep sea, Xiao Lang is a passerby. ”

"Who are you fooling? Where did Houmen come from? Don't show up and be a master. ”

"Director Gai, you are afraid of ruining your reputation, isn't Brother Li afraid?"

"Gao Jie, don't explain, the more you describe, the darker it gets. I'm tired, get some sleep. ”

The buildings of the antique street are wooden structures, with red lacquered doorposts, lintels, carved glass walls, and some cornices and arches, which really have some antique charm. Under Gao Jie's command, the vehicle crossed the entire street and stopped in front of the last door. "Brother Li, it's the two families here who sell stones."

Wuyang got off the car and looked, the family is randomly placed a lot of wool, are all little guys, next to the façade, built a building, from the footprints at the door, it can be seen that it is a stone cutting room. On the first floor of another house, there are containers, wool neatly arranged on the wall, and a few elderly people drinking tea in the façade.

Wuyang walked into the house where someone drank tea first, "Boss, how do you sell wool?" ”

A man in a long shirt stood up and said, "What are you talking about, buying wool?" You're the first person to ask about wool this year. Sit down, have a cup of tea, and listen to me and you talk slowly. ”

"Boss, it's okay to drink tea, you can't sit down, it's almost 4 o'clock."

"Okay, here's your tea. You pick the wool, I'll tell you. These wool materials were bought in Tengyue 6 or 7 years ago, and it cost 10,000 yuan at that time, and I asked the consultant to help select them, 50 large and small, and it cost 70,000 yuan, and it cost 100,000 yuan to transport them here. Turtle son's, after so many years, has not even sold a piece. Young man, you want to take 100,000 yuan and move it away, don't, you drink tea and leave, I will pick it up and throw it into the river one day. ”

Wuyang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Boss, you can't cut stones here?" ”

"At that time, I bought a small stone cutter, and I never used it once, so I don't know if it can be used again. If you want to cut a stone, you can go to the opposite door, and this is the old man who is the boss there. ”

"Okay. How many stone cutters are there? ”

"One big one, two hand-held ones, and two stone movers, enough for you. The charge is calculated by the hour, 100 yuan an hour for a large stone cutter, and 50 yuan for a portable stone. The wool we bought in our own shop doesn't cost money to cut stones. ”

"Yes, please go and arrange for the stone cutter, we can start soon, it's not too early. Is there a forklift to rent? ”

"Of course there are forklifts, two hundred dollars an hour."

"Yes. Boss, I'll transfer the wool money to you and start moving. ”

After transferring the account, the boss began to unload the planks, and after unloading the planks, the forklift could be forked up and walked away. Because it was stacked, the forklift could transport 3 pieces at a time, and they were all moved away quickly. When he said goodbye, Wuyang said: "Boss, do you have any older jadeite merchants here, and I cut out the jadeite, and they are all going to be sold." We are strangers and we can't take much with us. ”

The boss said, "I can't cut it out today, so you can cut it out tomorrow and sell it together." There are still a few rich people on our street, and as long as the price is right, even if there is jade in each piece, they can afford it. I'm going to find someone right now. ”

Wuyang thought, if it is a big jade merchant, maybe there is someone who knows him, and he must hurry up before they come, and talk about the price of wool from the house with the stone cutter, otherwise people will sit on the ground and raise the price, and they will suffer.

The old man who picked up the boss of the opposite door and left. "Pick some at your house too."

"How much are you going to buy?"

"Whatever you like."

The old man said: "Our family is not so cheap. To be picked out over the weigh. 5,000 yuan a kilogram, is it okay? ”

"Can it be less?"

"Now the price of wool has risen, and our family also bought it a few years ago, and only recently sold some small ones, and the price is not negotiable."

Wuyang smiled: "Then your family made a lot of money, and it was only two thousand and one kilograms at that time." ”

"I was going to buy 800,000 yuan for a son and a daughter, and let my son buy wool with it, and now I can sell it back for 800,000 yuan. I can only buy one house. ”

Wuyang entered the door and swept the real qi, the wool here is really good, I wanted to joke, said that he should choose the best two houses in the mountain city, but then I felt that it was the same thing, whether people do it or not, even if it is weighed, it is not much more. The price is negotiated, so there is no rush to choose, and the stone cutting is not big. There are already 50 pieces of wool in it, so let's pick them out and cut them first.

Between the cut stones, a few lines were drawn with jadeite wool. Let the master start cutting. He also asked the forklift master to remove the wool without jadeite, so that the wool from this house could be moved in. After arranging, I remembered that I didn't see a few of them, so I went out to look for it, no, I guess I went shopping. After the wool is selected, if you cut the stone at night, you can't guard it here because of your identity, so you have to arrange someone to come.

Call Li Zhiyang, he is still in Jiangbei, and there is no one available here, thinking about it, it is best for Tu Mulin to ask the military academy to arrange a few people, and the military is the most reliable.

Found a few of them, in a shop selling miscellaneous items, Tu Mulin was looking at a folding fan. "Third brother, is this folding fan made of boxwood?"

Wuyang took a look, he had seen the same type of folding fan, it was an export fan produced in the south in the late Qing Dynasty, it was indeed boxwood, but the painting was extremely ordinary, and the price was 80,000 yuan, which was too expensive. "The wood forest is boxwood, this is an export fan, and it is worthless."

"It's boxwood, I want to buy it, I have to have one or two old things at home."

"Forget it, you do me a favor, I'll send you a few later."

"What for?"

"Help me find a few people from the military academy, drive a military vehicle, and guard the master to cut stones. After cutting, the jadeite is carried to the car and sold tomorrow. ”

Tu Mulin smiled: "You haven't played enough in Lanjiang Gambling Stone?" Running here and playing, we thought you were talking about playing, but I didn't expect you to really do it. ”

"Don't gamble on stones, what can I give to you two classmates and two beauties? Giving money is bribery, receiving money is bribery, gambling stones is fun, and you can carry it. ”

"Okay, okay, we thank you okay. But it's not easy to find a school to transfer people, except for the dean and political commissar, no one else knows me. ”

Wuyang said with a smile: "You are a dignified director, what's wrong with finding the dean and political commissar to transfer a few people?" I won't treat them badly, and I don't want them if they want to. ”

Tu Mulin smiled and said, "Third brother, I'm afraid of you, right?" After that, he called. After a while, he came over and said: "The dean agreed, and sent someone to bring the car over in the car company, eight people and two cars, is it enough?" ”

"Enough. Gao Jie, is there a hotel here? ”

"Don't look for a hotel, there is a restaurant on the antique street, there are guest rooms, food and accommodation are there, it's very convenient."

"Okay, you guys continue shopping, I'll go to the wool store."

Gao Jie followed, and Wuyang whispered, "You come with them, don't let them see anything." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the Internet café to book a plane ticket, when will it be tomorrow?"

"It's better to do it at night, and during the day I'm afraid that I won't win."

Back at the wool shop, the forklift was free, and Wuyang began to select the wool in the store and let the forklift carry it. Since the wool here is stacked casually, the inside has to be turned out, and it is not possible without a forklift. There are more than a dozen pieces of jadeite that I bought on the opposite side just now, and more than 20 pieces were selected here, a stone cutter, completely cut out, and it is estimated that there will be no rest halfway, and it will be tomorrow night. Wuyang had to work harder by himself and draw all the lines, and as long as the master cut it, it would be much faster.

After paying the wool payment, I returned to the stone cutting room, and two pieces had been cut out, and the boss's old man was rubbing the stone, and stopped when he saw the afternoon sun, "Boss, the line you draw is very accurate, do you often do this?" ”

"Yes, practice makes perfect. Big boss, how many stone cutters do you have here? Can I work overtime at night? ”

"It's hard to find a stone cutter here, only one, and my eldest son can barely make do. Rubbing stones, it's me and my youngest son. Boss, you are so familiar with wool, will you cut stones? If it will, it's best to top it for a few hours and let them take a break. ”

Wuyang thought, after all, this is not Tengyue, it is really difficult to find a stone cutting master, if you don't go on it, I'm afraid you won't be able to cut it tomorrow. Because the more time passes, the more tired and inefficient the person becomes. "Okay, I'll draw the line now, I'll cut it for a few hours after dinner, and by 11 o'clock, they'll take over, okay?"

"It's best that way, they sleep alone for a few hours and they won't doze off."

"The machine here rings all night, and the nearby residents will have opinions, right?"

"There are only people keeping vigil in the shops, and there are residents in the distance. Let's quarrel for a night, and tomorrow we will give opinions, and we will not cut it. ”

After drawing the line, Gao Jie said, "Brother, let's go to the restaurant and order." ”

Wuyang was a little unhappy in his heart, if it was at home, at the company or at work, someone would have already taken care of these things, the two girls were not sensible, and Gai Yifan and Tu Mulin were not sensible. If you think about it, you can think about it as a Ph.D. student. "Let's go, let's go. What about Tu Mulin? ”

"I went to pick up the car, Director Gai and my sister went to the restaurant for tea."

Really, it's my business to help them. Maybe they don't believe in themselves at all.

A large table was ordered, a dozen dishes were ordered, and the room was opened, and the two went to the door to greet Tu Mulin's people. Watching them park their cars in the wool shop, Tu Mulin took them to the hotel. Take a closer look, why is it so coincidental? (To be continued......)
