Entering from the door, the left hand side is the place where the shoes are stored, Chu Chen and the others took off their shoes according to the prompts, and then walked in.

When you enter the temple, you can see many small stupas around the Shwedagon Pagoda, and these pagodas are not the same, each with its own characteristics, and the color is not the same. Some are relics, and some are Buddhist halls below, where many Buddha statues are enshrined, just like Chinese temples.

In addition, the Buddha statues inside are also different, some are sitting, some are lying, and some are looking down, with different images, each with its own posture and expression.

There are different bodhisattvas next to the golden pagoda, and Zhang Yanbin also introduced to everyone that everyone can find a corresponding one to worship according to their birthday.

Shwedagon Pagoda is a sacred place in the hearts of the Burmese people. That's why there are a lot of people who come to worship every day. When Chu Chen and the others walked in, there were already many people kneeling on the surrounding fields and worshipping the Shwedagon Pagoda. In addition, people here worship instead of burning incense, but chanting sutras or counting rosaries.

After a tour around the Shwedagon Pagoda, when walking out of the Shwedagon Pagoda from the exit, everyone's hearts felt unusually quiet, and even Dong Fatzi, who had been shouting hot, felt as if it was much cooler than before.

Shopping is indispensable for tourism, and of course, there are many vendors outside the Shwedagon Pagoda, which is a tourist mecca, and many vendors have set up stalls on the surrounding ground.

Due to the abundance of jadeite in Myanmar, many of these stalls sell jadeite products, and some sell fragrant wood powder, handicrafts and Burmese snacks.

However, the things sold at the stalls are generally not particularly valuable. After all, people are not stupid and are unlikely to put really good things. Put it here to sell. Of course, like domestic. There is also the possibility of eye-catching, but there are very few of them.

After turning dozens of stalls, the harvest was very few, but since it was a play, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and they were still full of interest.

Just walked and stopped, and before they could have much fun, everyone found that they were about to reach the end of these stalls.

Zhang Yanbin looked at the time. He said: "It's not too early, let's go to dinner, today I will take you to a local restaurant to taste the special food of Myanmar, and you are full of praise for it." ”

Hearing that there was something delicious, Dong Fatzi's greedy saliva almost flowed down, and he hurriedly urged everyone to leave quickly.

However, at this time, Chu Chen was attracted by the things in a stall in front of him, and he hurriedly stepped forward. Holding the thing that attracted him, he looked closely.

Liu Sizhe and the others saw Chu Chen holding a box, observing it carefully, and thought they had found something good. I hurriedly went up, but when I looked at it, I realized that the box looked very new. It shouldn't be an antique, which makes them all think it's weird. I don't understand how Chu Chen could take a fancy to such a thing.

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't be untargeted, because of the shape of the box in front of him. It's actually the same as the one described in the note, but the difference is that the box in front of me should have been made recently. That also means that the maker of this box is likely to have made the zuò in the same way as recorded in the notes.

So, the original of the box is probably still in the hands of the maker, how can Chu Chen not be excited?

"This ......" Chu Chen just started to ask, and then he remembered that the other party might not understand Chinese, so he planned to ask Zuo Shan, who was proficient in Burmese, to help translate it.

"This gentleman, don't bother so much, I'm Chinese." The stall owner said with a smile in Chinese, who was not very fluent.

Because of historical reasons, there are not many Chinese in Myanmar, so Chu Chen was not surprised, but felt very happy, because in this way, he could ask more clearly.

So, he said with some sighs: "The workmanship of this box is very good, and some of the craftsmanship on it has now been lost in China, boss, I don't know if you can sue me, who made this box?" ”

The stall owner scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "This thing is actually made by my grandfather, but his level is not as superb as you say, but he is just drawing a scoop based on a gourd." ”

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!"

"Even so, judging from the workmanship of this box, the old man's craftsmanship is also very superb."

Chu Chen was a little excited in his heart, praised it, and then said: "This boss, I'm very interested in the style of this box, I don't know, can I appreciate the original?" ”

"Sir, do you want to buy it?" The stall owner asked.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I haven't seen the original either, so I'm not sure yet, if it's complete, I'll definitely buy it." ”

The stall owner hurriedly said: "That box is complete, but it is an antique, and the price must be higher." ”

"If it's an antique, it's even better, I buy it back and put it at home, and it looks face-saving."

Chu Chen laughed: "As for the price, let's discuss it, anyway, it won't make you feel at a loss." ”

The stall owner was also very happy when he saw Chu Chen's statement, but after a while, he looked a little embarrassed and said: "This boss, my family lives far away, and it takes several days to go back and forth, I don't know if you can wait?" ”

Chu Chen frowned secretly when he heard this, he thought that the stall owner lived locally, and now in this case, he obviously had to wait, otherwise when he went to his house to get it, it would be strange if others didn't think there was a problem!

So, he could only suppress the anxious feelings in his heart, and replied: "I'm here to participate in the Jade Public Market, and it will take a few days to return to China, and when the public market is over, are you in time?" ”

"It's in time, it's in time!" The stall owner nodded repeatedly.

Chu Chen said: "Okay, this is my phone number and the room number of the hotel, if you arrive, you can go to my room to find me, or call my number." ”

As he spoke, he took out a business card of his own, then wrote down the name of the hotel and the room number, and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the business card and said with some embarrassment: "This ...... You have to ask for money to call! ”

Chu Chen didn't think that the stall owner was a little stingy when he said this, after all, his mobile phone was a domestic number, so he made a call. It may indeed be a bit expensive for the stall owner, so he laughed and said:

"Don't worry. Whether it's the cost of the phone call or the fare of your round-trip car. I can be reimbursed...... In this way, I don't mean anything I mean, I'll buy you one thing first! That's it, how much? ”

The thing Chu Chen said was a jade crab ornament, the surface was yellow, and it looked rusty, as if it had been buried in the soil for a long time, and it looked inconspicuous.

When the stall owner saw the crab ornament in Chu Chen's hand, he smiled and said, "This thing is five meters yuan." ”

Five meters was equivalent to more than 40 RMB at that time. For Chu Chen, it was completely trivial, and he paid very happily.

Seeing Chu Chen so happy, the stall owner also smiled and said, "Boss Chu, don't worry, I will definitely come to you then." ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then left with Liu Sizhe.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yanbin hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, that crab." Isn't there something else going on? ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he asked a little strangely, "How do you think so?" ”

Zhang Yanbin laughed and said, "Haha, who are you, how can you do anything untargeted." Come to think of it, that box is also an excuse, right? ”

"What if the stall owner actually brought the box?" Dong Fatzi asked.

Zhang Yanbin said with a smile: "I bought it, it shouldn't be worth much anyway!" And in case it is a good product. Didn't Xiao Chu earn it again! ”

"Brother Chen, is this crab? Is there really something else going on? Liu Sizhe looked at the crab in Chu Chen's hand and was a little puzzled.

"I really guessed it right for Brother Zhang. Look here! As he spoke, Chu Chen turned the crab over and pointed to a place on the crab's stomach and said.

"Huh? Seems to have words? ”

"This, it seems to be 'Zigang'!" Liu Sizhe said in shock.

Dong Fatzi exclaimed: "No, how can this crab be carved by Lu Zigang?" Besides, has Lu Zigang ever carved crabs? ”

Liu Sizhe said speechlessly: "Aren't you talking nonsense, why can't Lu Zigang carve crabs, I have also heard a story about Lu Zigang carving crabs......"

It is said that there was a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, who was extremely clever but cruel, and the magistrate could not do anything about him. He also has a habit of loving jade, not only collecting good products everywhere, but also raising a lot of jade workers, and purchasing beautiful jade carvings by himself.

One year, the vassal king received a large piece of precious mountain materials, and no one dared to start the jade workers in the house, so some people said that the jade workers of Wumen were the best in the world, and they should go to Gusu to invite famous workers to govern it! The vassal king felt justified, so he ordered the Gusu Mansion to recommend the best jade workers.

At that time, the number one jade worker in Gusu was called Lu Zigang, and the second ranked was called Wang Xiaoxi. These two people are highly skilled and have high spirits. In contrast, Lu Zigang has a bigger temper and a quirk, whether the master wants it or not, all the jade that he treats must be famous.

Wang Xiaoxi was born out of phase, with six fingers on his right hand. The sixth finger of the average person is mostly a branch finger, but his six fingers are extremely flexible, and because of this, Wang Xiaoxi's carving is known for its complex craftsmanship.

Lu and Wang have always been dissatisfied with anyone, usually fighting, as soon as they heard that the vassal king wanted to recruit the first jade worker of Wumen, if anyone was selected, he would sit on the first throne, and naturally he would go.

The two of them were inseparable, and the Gusu prefect was not decidable for a while, so Wang Xiaoxi said: "Since we can't hold each other, then simply compare, the two of us each spend a day carving a small vessel, please discuss whose skills are better." If Lu Zigang wins, I am willing to lose the sword to him; If I win, then Lu Zigang will not be able to compete with me again in this life. ”

It turned out that although Wang Xiaoxi knew that his skills were slightly inferior to Lu Zigang, he had a jade carving treasure, that is, the Kun knife, which is said to be made from the sword head of the ancient kun sword, which can sell jade like mud.

Although Lu Zigang's skills are slightly better than Wang Xiaoxi's, the final polishing of jade must be finely polished with emery, which is extremely time-consuming, and it will definitely not be in place in one day's work. Wang Xiaoxi has a jade cutting knife, which saves the time of polishing, so he will definitely be able to carve a more delicate jade than Lu Zigang in one day, and it is precisely because he has calculated this that he dares to compete with Lu Zigang.

Lu Zigang had also seen this sword, and when he heard Wang Xiaoxi offer this condition, he agreed without thinking about it. When Wang Xiaoxi saw that he agreed, he was very proud, and he felt that he had the chance to win...... (To be continued......)
