Chapter 754: To the Mining Area
Wu Putun, who was reminded by Xu Youhai, was very fast, but he simply said hello to Chu Chen and them, and left like a frightened rabbit, which made everyone a little speechless......
Yi Hongguo patted Zou Taiping on the shoulder and said: "Old Zou, this kind of person should have less contact in the future, this time you are lucky to have Xiaochen to help, but next time you can still have the same luck as today?" ”
Zou Taiping smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have already seen that Wu Putun does have some problems before, I invited him to dinner before, and I also wanted to get together with him, but who knew that I was so unlucky that I actually encountered this kind of thing." ”
"Lao Zou, in that case, why don't we cooperate?" Xu Youhai next to him said with a smile.
Chu Chen and the others were quite surprised when they heard this, why did Xu Youhai suddenly want to do the timber business again.
Seeing that everyone else looked at him in surprise, Xu Youhai said with a smile: "Don't look at me, in addition to our family's criminal business, we will get involved in other money-making businesses as long as it is suitable, and you don't know, Lao Zou's timber business is big enough in this area, I suspected before, the reason why Di Lun wants to make such a big deal is probably because he likes your two industries." ”
Xu Youhai's may have said, Zou Taiping has actually thought about it, but people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, although he also runs some relationships locally, but when he meets Lunna, he is blind, and those relationships don't even dare to let go of a fart, let alone say a good word for them.
Now Xu Youhai wants to partner with him, of course he is very willing, so he is polite. He agreed, and prepared to hold substantive negotiations between the two sides in the next two days.
Soon. The group returned to the hotel, and it happened that Zou Taiping was still living here. So he hugged Chu Chen and others to apologize, and used the hotel phone to report his safety to his family. And Chu Chen also walked back to his room to pack his luggage, and picked up his mobile phone to call Leng Shaming.
When Chu Chen finished making the phone call and returned to the room to pack his luggage, he saw Zou Taiping walking in with a box.
Zou Taiping put the box in his hand in front of Chu Chen, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, this time it is thanks to you. A small gift is not a tribute! ”
"Mr. Zou, you really don't need this, I ......"
As soon as Chu Chen said this, he saw Zou Taiping wave his hand and said, "I know that you are looking at An Lao's face, but you have spent so much energy for my affairs and recovered so many losses for me, I have to express it anyway......"
Next, Chu Chen excused himself a few more times, but it was difficult to refuse. Only then did he accept the gift brought by Zou Taiping.
"Mr. Chu, look at it, this thing is not to your liking."
Zou Taiping was relieved when he saw Chu Chen agree. Speaking of which, the reason why he immediately gave Chu Chen a gift was in addition to being really grateful. He is also selfish. On the phone just now, An Gongshi told him Chu Chen's identity. It scared him enough at the time, he didn't expect it at all. Chu Chen, who looks amiable, actually has such a prominent identity.
However, after learning Chu Chen's identity, Zou Taiping's heart also started Xiao Jiujiu, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen, the reason why he did this was not to rely on Chu Chen to make a profit, but he was frightened by this incident, and he even wanted to leave the business here and return to China immediately.
But he also spent a lot of energy on the business here, and if he wanted to abandon it immediately, he would definitely be reluctant, even if he could partner with Xu Youhai now, he was a little unsure, so he wanted to get closer to Chu Chen in case of emergency.
Chu Chen didn't know Zou Taiping's specific thoughts, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be much surprised, it was human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil, if the two of them fell apart, his plans would definitely be the same as Zou Taiping.
Chu Chen took the gift given to him by Zou Taiping in his hand, but it turned out to be an incense box.
The incense box refers to the container for incense, and in ancient times, incense was burned with incense noodles or incense crumbs, so it must be stored in a box for use. and incense, incense box. It is usually made of wood and lacquer, but it is also made of pottery and metal.
Today, some religious ceremonies still use the old way when burning incense, calling it "incense", that is, using the hand to make incense, instead of "incense", because the incense is not incense.
The sandalwood texture of the incense box, sandalwood, Buddhism called "sandalwood", known as the "king of spices", "green gold" reputation. It is taken from the wooden heartwood (or its resin) of the sandalwood tree, the Sandalwood family, and the closer it is to the heart and roots, the better.
It is often made into wood powder, wood strips, wood blocks, etc., or refined into sandalwood essential oil. Making incense from sandalwood has always been a treasure, but sandalwood is smoked alone and does not smell good. However, if it can be cleverly combined with other spices, it can "attract the highest level of aroma".
Speaking of sandalwood, some people think of agarwood, although from the richness of the fragrance alone, the fragrance of sandalwood is very strong, and the richness of the fragrance of agarwood at room temperature is far inferior to that of sandalwood, but the fragrance of sandalwood is single, and the fragrance of agarwood is changeable and charming. Therefore, although the fragrance of sandalwood is stronger than that of agarwood, agarwood is still better than sandalwood.
And on the market, general sandalwood is more common, yellow sandalwood, small leaf red sandalwood, red sandalwood, black sandalwood, green sandalwood can often be seen. Some of the best sandalwood is expensive, but it can still be seen. But agarwood is relatively rare compared to it.
Although sandalwood is not as good as agarwood, some of the best sandalwood is also quite rare, and this incense box is made of the best sandalwood zuò.
I saw that the incense box was nearly square, and the lid and the body of the box were interlocked. The cover is carved with cloud patterns, and the surrounding area is embossed with cloud patterns. The cover is smooth, the abdomen is shallow, and the shape of the organ is small and neat. There is a circle of yang wires at the closure of the upper and lower lids, with a square bottom. For the Qianlong time of the Qing Dynasty, the typical craftsmanship of the Qing Palace Office.
The incense box was exhibited from the incense tube in ancient times and was used by the upper class to hold incense. This incense box, the whole body is engraved with embossed moire, which not only has a decorative effect, but also implies the meaning of vigorous incense. The fragrance of the best sandalwood with the fragrance of the incense box is far-reaching, ingeniously conceived, flashy and vulgar.
Chu Chen was also very happy to see such a finely made incense box, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Zou, it's really a waste of money, I like this incense box very much." ”
Zou Taiping saw that Chu Chen was very satisfied, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Actually, I also saw this incense box by accident in a local farmhouse, and it didn't cost much at that time. Speaking of which, this thing is actually not very valuable, and it is really a bit unattainable! ”
Chu Chen smiled: "Mr. Zou, don't be so polite, this sandalwood incense box is already very good, no matter how valuable it is, even if you dare to send it, I don't dare to accept it......"
Next, the two exchanged politeness, and saw Xu Youhai walking in from outside the door, he first smiled and thanked Zou Taiping for the gift to him, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiaochen, it's too late today, we have to stay for another night, and we'll go out tomorrow, what do you think?" ”
"Uncle Xu, you are a local, of course, I will do what you say. But why do we suddenly have to stay another night? Chu Chen asked curiously.
Xu Youhai said a little helplessly: "This is not sudden, but I forgot about it in a hurry just now, the road here is not like your country, if you want to reach my family's mining area, you can't catch up before dark, so we can only go out tomorrow." ”
Along the way, Chu Chen can be regarded as seeing the road in Myanmar and what a bad way it is, so after listening to Xu Youhai's explanation, he was relieved.
In this way, everyone stayed in the hotel for another night, and the next morning, after saying goodbye to Zou Taiping, they got on the three off-road vehicles arranged by Xu Youhai and began to go out to the mining area controlled by Xu Youhai's family.
The tires of these three off-road vehicles are large, and the chassis is set off very high, and it seems that they have all been modified by the gate.
At the beginning, seeing the posture of these three cars, Chu Chen thought that Xu Youhai deliberately modified the car like this, which looked magnificent, and it was not until he got out of Mi that he understood why these three off-road vehicles were so modified, it was really unimaginably bad that the road here was unimaginable.
Originally, Chu Chen thought that Mijina was an important town in the north of Myanmar, and no matter how bad the road was, it would not be worse than Yangon, but he also felt that the mining area of Xu Youhai's family was too far away, and the road was poor, so he couldn't catch up.
But when he got out of Mijina and saw the road paved with small stones that was no longer visible in the big cities in China, he could only smile bitterly.
And then, Chu Chen understood even more that he had thought that this trip was too big and simple, and he hadn't had much time to come out of Mijin, and the road ahead was no longer even a stone road, it was completely a lump of dirt, one high and one low, and the people in the car were dancing up and down with the bumps of the car.
If it weren't for the steep mountains here, it was too unsafe, and Chu Chen would rather do a helicopter again.
"Phew!"
Because it rained last night, it was difficult to see the depth of the potholes on the road because of the stagnant water, so when the car suddenly drove through a relatively deep pit, the people in the car suddenly became tragic, and Chu Chen was even more inattentive and hit his head directly on the roof of the car.
"Achen! You okay! Zhao Qirui rubbed his shoulder, which was hit by the pain, and asked with concern.
Chu Chen shook his head: "It's not a big problem!" I said Uncle Xu, since this is the main production area of jadeite mines, why don't you make the road a little better! It's so sinful to go in and out like this! ”
"There's no way around it, who calls the government poor!" Xu Youhai smiled bitterly. (To be continued......)
