Chapter 103: A Chance Encounter

Although Liu Rumei is the small leader of the Liu Group, she is still a little girl in her early twenties after all, and beautiful clothes, food, and shiny jewelry are the source of her happiness.

This small commercial area on the edge of the Yabaray Salt Lake did not affect her interest in shopping at all, she and Qiqige were like a pair of little Mongolian sisters, looking for their own happiness in this commercial area.

I didn't follow them anymore, but walked alone towards the salt pans not far away.

"Mr. Qin, why are you here?"

Suddenly, someone called me, I glanced over my head and saw that it was the factory director with glasses, I remembered his surname Jing, so I replied, "Oh...... It's Director Jing, I'm fine, come out and take a walk. ”

"That's right." Director Jing nodded, and then said, "Mr. Qin, don't go too far, there are wolves infested near the Yabaray Salt Lake, and there will be danger in places without lights at night." ”

"Oh, thanks for the reminder." I did forget that I was in the desert just now, so I walked around as I wanted, and I came back to my senses after he reminded me.

Director Jing helped his glasses and said, "Mr. Qin is polite, don't worry too much, although there are wolves here, but at this time, wolves generally don't come here, and when the snow covers the grassland in winter, wolves will wander everywhere, and then we should curfew to prevent wolves." ”

"Oh." I nodded, it's really a side of water and soil, and people who can't imagine that they still have to worry about wolf prevention. When I was a child, I had heard of wolves in the Lonely Mountain, but I had never seen them at all, but I had heard adults often tell stories about wolves, and that was it.

Director Jing didn't pay attention to me all the time, but stood on the side of the road and looked at the salt lake, and said as he watched: "Mr. Qin, do you see if the salt lake here is very similar to the salt lake in Hedong City." ”

"It's very similar." I looked at the salt pans that crisscrossed me, the mountains of salt piled up, and said, "Or rather, it's very similar to the salt lake before the ban on mining." ”

"Well, I don't think so, so I always go to the lake after work." Director Jing nodded, and then I realized that he had changed his clothes and was wearing a sportswear.

I asked, "Director Jing is from Hedong?" ”

Director Jing continued to nod: "Well, people from the west of Hedong City. ”

"Oh!"

Director Jing casually inquired: "What about Mr. Qin?" Where are you from? ”

"Me?" I smiled and said, "To be precise, I am also from Hedong, but I have been in Xi'an all these years, and I just returned to Hedong City some time ago." ”

"That's right." Director Jing nodded, and he continued to ask: "I heard that Mr. Liu said that Mr. Qin is a business partner, could it be that Mr. Qin is also in the salt business?" ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." I hurriedly waved my hand, and then said, "My business partner is not with the Liu Group, but with your President Liu himself. ”

I saw that the director of the Jing factory frowned, and then explained: "I opened an antique shop with her. ”

"Oh! I see. Director Jing suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, I've been in the salt industry for some years, why haven't I heard of Mr. Qin's name, it turns out that he crossed the line." ”

"I'm just a young boy, how dare I call a big name." I smiled and waved my hand and continued, "Even if you ask in the antique shop, you don't necessarily know a few people. ”

"Mr. Qin is humble." Director Jing continued to be polite: "What is needed to engage in antiques is professional knowledge, and since Mr. Qin can do antique business, it is not simple. ”

"It's a prize." I continued waving my hand.

"Mr. Liu does like some cultural relics and antiques, but I can't imagine that she is also doing business in this area now." Director Jing sighed, and then asked, "Mr. Qin, this time is not just for tourism, right?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded, and I didn't hide it, and then said: "You Mr. Liu received a photo before, saying that it was taken at the herdsman's house here, and I want to come over to see the real thing." ”

Director Jing frowned and asked, "Photo?" What photos? ”

I replied: "It's a picture of a jar, an earthy yellow ......"

"Oh......" Director Jing nodded, and then said: "I remembered this matter, this matter has been about half a year, that photo was taken by me, and I also sent it to Mr. Liu." ”

I was surprised, I was just thinking about who sent the photo, and the person who took the photo came, and since the person was in front of me, my doubts were settled. So, I asked, "Where was that thing shot?" ”

Director Jing replied: "I saw it in a herdsman's settlement, about 20 kilometers west of here, the owner is an employee of our factory, there was an accident when he went to the salt field to shovel nitrate, and he has not fully recovered until now, this jar was seen in his house, and the photo was taken there." ”

I frowned and continued to ask, "What's the situation with that jar?" How big is it? What material does it look like? These are not visible in the photos. ”

After thinking about it, Director Jing gestured with his hand and said: "This jar is about this big, what material, I really can't say, but it looks quite thick, the color is earthy, and it looks like clay pottery without glaze." ”

I nodded.

Director Jing continued: "Herdsmen generally do not have this kind of bulky jar in their homes, I looked at it and thought it was strange and asked the origin of the jar, he said that his brother picked it up when he was grazing, and after picking it up, he threw it at the door of the house, and it was his brother's things that they couldn't handle well, so they kept it there." ”

"I thought that since this thing was picked up, it should be some years old, maybe it is an antique, so I took a photo with my mobile phone and sent it to Mr. Liu, wanting her to help take a look, but this matter has been left behind."

Director Jing paused at this point, and then asked: "Mr. Qin, you are in the antique business, do you say that this jar is an antique?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's hard to say, I'm sure this thing is not a current thing, but it doesn't mean that it's an antique even if it's old, the pattern on the jar looks a little familiar, but it looks a little blurry from the photo, if you have the opportunity to see the real thing, maybe you can still have some eyebrows." ”

"It's easy." Director Jing smiled and said to me, "When Mr. Liu is busy with business, we can go over and have a look together." ”

I hesitated and asked, "That...... Is it convenient? I mean, going to someone's house for no apparent reason is not offensive. ”

Director Jing waved his hand: "Don't worry, the herdsmen here are all hospitable, in addition, don't look at the only more than 20 kilometers from here to there, the scenery on both sides is very different, here is a patch of criss-crossed salt pans, there is a large grassland, you can see the wind blowing grass and seeing the picture of cattle and sheep." ”
