Chapter 310: Smuggling Wool
Happily covered Long Tianba with a thin quilt, took the kettle not far away, lay on the side of the bed, tiredness hit, and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Long Tianba came to his senses and shook his head, remembered what happened last night, and asked his lover apologetically.
"Where is Ma Kun?"
"I arranged him in the next room, let Qu Dahua take care of him, you two drunks......"
"Don't take it as an example, Xiaosheng is wrong, the lady forgives ......" From the rap, the happy state of mind is undoubtedly revealed.
Dizzy, the eldest husband has always been serious and stereotyped, when did he learn a little bit of Murong Ji's oil cavity slippery tone, although it is a pirated version, it is also eye-catching, and it feels like the same scenery has added fresh colors.
Looking at her lover's surprised gaze, Long Tianba was in a good mood on her delicate and ruddy face, and took a sip of dragonfly like water, and then walked away.
He ran to the next door to take a look, Ma Kun also woke up, and the two comrades-in-arms looked at each other and smiled.
"Ma Kun, you're fine, right?" Long Tianba asked with concern, put away the wanton in front of his wife just now, and returned to his usual majestic and dignified face.
"Brother Long, what can I do, how are you?" glanced at the radiant face of his old comrade-in-arms, and suspected that the other party came over after a hangover in the morning.
"I don't have anything to do, I'll go to Tengchong today." Calmly answered.
"That's right, I'll drive you." Very good suggestion, pulled into the relationship with each other, and suddenly remembered what I promised last night.
"Brother Long, I drank too much last night and didn't pay the bill, and I must ask ...... when I get to Tengchong."
"I also drank too much last night, and it was your sister-in-law who paid the bill, and she is also a little rich woman. Never mind....... ”
I wondered if Brother Long's words might be the property of the Long family. Or sell a few gifts you received when you got married, and you know it in your heart.
A few people cleaned up. Simply finish eating breakfast. Ma Kun sent them to the airport and went back to work, and the two made an appointment to meet in Tengchong.
The plane soon arrived in Tengchong, and when they arrived, they found a hotel and settled down.
Tengchong is just a small town on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar, where the people are simple and simple, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Many years ago, jade was produced in Myanmar, and jade mines were found in some of the mountainous areas here, and merchants from all over the country flocked to it. The population increased dramatically, and the trade in the town became more and more developed, and the people gradually became richer.
There is a famous jade street here, with countless shops on both sides of the street, including jade processing shops; There are wool shops; There is also daily haberdashery; as well as restaurants, inns, etc. came into being. On the street, there are merchants who come to buy jadeite rough stones, tourists who come to see the bustle, and idlers who want to buy jewelry.
As the saying goes: nine out of ten bets lose. It's the same with gambling stones, but everyone talks about the one-tenth winner, but keeps the ninety percent of the losers secret, so there are countless adventurers who continue to take risks.
Here's a big episode for five days. Qu Dahua had already calculated when he came, and tomorrow was the market day, and the flow of customers on the street had increased significantly today.
It's a mountainous area with no trains. If you take a bus in Spring City, it takes ten hours to arrive, and the airport has been built in recent years. It took less than an hour to arrive at Tengchong.
Qu Dahua took out his mobile phone to make a call and contacted local related households. After connecting, he asked politely: "Boss Huang, I was introduced by Brother Ding, and my boss wants to buy some goods, so he has already contacted you ......." ”
After saying that, listen to the other person's speech and keep nodding yes. Putting down the phone, he said to Xinran and Long Tianba: "Boss, it's a coincidence, tomorrow is the market day here, Boss Huang and they smuggled a batch of new goods today, and allowed us to choose them, they were all introduced by acquaintances, and whoever sold them was sold ......." ”
There is such a good thing, and he happily agreed immediately: "It's not early, let's find a place to eat first, and then we'll go." ”
They walked out of the hotel and soon found a relatively clean restaurant not far away. After entering the door, the boss is very enthusiastic, I don't know whether the road is often the reason for receiving foreign guests, or the relationship between the boss and the north, he speaks fluent Mandarin, it sounds very kind, and when he sees them come in, he introduces the local famous dish 'big rescue'.
Also known as fried bait, 'Da Rescue' is a glutinous rice product made into a cake shape, then dried and cut into thin slices, and fried with various spices, with excellent taste.
Legend has it that this dish fled here during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the locals made a dish for him, and the emperor was full of praise after eating, saying that this dish could save the holy car, and became famous since then.
Since it was a local famous dish, of course they ordered a plate and asked the owner to recommend a few dishes. The boss saw that there was a female guest and recommended a fried artichoke, and after a few dishes were served, the three of them had a great appetite and ate with relish.
Seeing that the time was not early, they came to the place agreed on the phone.
This is a farmhouse, a red brick rooftop house, which stands out from the ordinary houses in the neighborhood. There were two big wolf dogs in the yard, and when they heard someone approaching, they barked violently.
Xinran just wanted to use the ability, and Long Tianba pulled her behind him. Before she could speak, a man in his forties stepped out of the room. I saw that he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his two eyes were crystal clear, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes. It's a pity that the body is a little short and fat, and it seems to be lacking in momentum, if you stand with Long Tianba, it is very similar to a big brother with a little brother.
"Rhubarb, don't bite the little black!" He shouted so majestically that the two dogs whimpered a few times unwillingly, and obediently hid in the corner.
They walked into the yard, gladly glanced at the two dogs, and quickly applied their abilities to the dogs, no matter what happened in a while, the dogs would no longer pose a threat, and it would be better to leave a way back for themselves.
"You're Boss Huang?" Qu Dahua asked politely.
"Yes! Three guests in the room please! The local dialect was mixed with the local dialect, which sounded a little awkward, and they went inside.
Entering the house, the decoration and items inside are good, and a few new modern household appliances show that the living conditions of this house are good.
Boss Huang brought a few cups of tea, but I don't know if it was the reason for the tea, or the relationship between the water or the cup, the tea looked muddy. A few people had just eaten and drunk to their heart's content, and had no interest in drinking at all.
After a few words of greeting, Qu Dahua quickly introduced the topic.
"When I contacted just now, I heard Boss Huang say that there was a new product, I don't know where Lu Dao is, can you take us to see it?"
"Of course, the goods are all old pits, and my own people don't say anything, I secretly got it from the 'side' trust relationship!" Boss Huang was boastful, with a proud and open-minded expression on his face, and that trace of cunning was well concealed.
The so-called 'that side' is understood by everyone that it is the origin of jadeite rough. When he came, Qu Dahua told the two of them that if they could buy smuggled goods, they would be the best, the price was cheap, and the quality was high, as long as they entered the territory of China, no one would track them down.
There are many people who take risks for money, and the smuggling industry will be repeatedly banned, and the buyers will be cheaper and the sellers will be profitable.
Now that Boss Huang said that there were really smuggled goods, Qu Dahua had a happy look on his face; Long Tianba's mood is invisible; Xinran was even more unmoved.
Last time in Shencheng, Xinran sensed the best jade in a piece of waste, that is, those four purple eyes, and there was always a feeling of unfinished. This time, she insisted on coming in person, first, to verify the feeling of last time; Second, since you can find jade by feeling, maybe you will have unexpected gains when you come to Tengchong this time.
Boss Huang led them to the door of the simple shed in the backyard, and there was a large copper lock on the door. Boss Huang took out a bunch of big keys from his waist with a solemn face, found a long key and opened the copper lock.
Xinran muttered in her heart, how can this Boss Huang be like the Grande Scrooge.
She knew that the jade fever had already begun, and some people with a desire for profit did everything they could to make fake wool, and she didn't know whether what Boss Huang said was true or false.
simply looked at Boss Huang's thoughts, and soon found that this person has a wide network, and there is more than one line of foreign smuggling, and people like them have to open up all aspects of their relationships in order to smuggle. Judging by his usual behavior, the jade inside was indeed smuggled and smuggled in the past two days.
At this time, Boss Huang has opened the door of the shed, and a musty smell and dust floated out inside, this shed, commonly known as the partial building, is built against the main house in the backyard, to be precise, some materials are saved by the wall, and the roof is oblique, and the lower it is. Because it is difficult to get sunlight, the door is often locked, resulting in dark and damp inside, and poor air circulation. Boss Huang said very particularly.
"You go in and look at it casually, and if you like it, you can move out, and then settle accounts together." I handed them a flashlight and went back.
Qu Dahua said respectfully: "It's good to say, Boss Huang, you are busy first." He was polite to this line of work.
Xinran and Long Tianba wondered in their hearts, why did the owner of the seller leave?
Qu Dahua quickly walked in.
Xinran waited at the door for a while, feeling that the air inside was basically back to normal before entering, she didn't want to buy something and bring back countless bacteria.
She knows that the Daoqu Dahua perennial calcite stone, and has a certain ability to distinguish the jadeite rough, and the general people who gamble on the stone are holding a strong flashlight to check the appearance of the rough stone to estimate whether there is jadeite inside. On the way here, I happily thought about it for a long time, although her ability could not see through the original stone, but she could sense it, and it felt good to choose a few pieces for this purchase, and unraveled them on the spot to verify.
When I entered the shed, the light inside was very dim, and there was only a small window, through which the light shone in, and it looked like a large area in a trance. The ground was a little damp, only to emit a musty smell, the highest part of the roof of the shed is only one person high, the lowest part of the dripping eaves, Xinran must also walk with his head down, Qu Dahua is even more difficult.
There are more than 30 pieces of wool placed against the wall in the house, and there is a pile of gravel piled up in the corner, Qu Dahua is already standing on the high side of the ceiling, turning on the strong flashlight, and is checking the large pieces of wool on the ground in order.
