Rajasthan is located in the west of India, bordering Pakistan. The climate here is very hot. When you walk on the street, you will feel a hot wind blowing on your face. It is very dry here. Luo Tian's throat is already smoking. That's it.
This seemingly lifeless city actually produces the most beautiful emeralds in the world - emeralds.
Looking up, there are still complete sand-yellow castles on the mountains not far away. The ruins of these castles still tell the heroic deeds of men, the fearless sacrifices of women, and the chivalry of the past years. And
Compared with the modernity of Mumbai, this city is more traditional, and many people walking by Luo Tian are wearing traditional clothes.
"Isn't this place completely different from Mumbai?" Ouyang said: "Actually, if you still have time, you can stay here and do some sightseeing."
Luo Tian smiled bitterly. If there hadn't been that unexpected car accident, this might still be possible. Now that he doesn't have much time, he can't delay the jewelry company's affairs any longer: "Let's go see the rough stones first."
The rough stone that Ouyang contacted was in a rough stone processing factory. Fortunately, it was not very remote and easy to find. However, as soon as the factory director saw Ouyang's face (Ouyang had already come to investigate the situation beforehand), he patted Ouyang unnaturally.
Luo Tian looked over his shoulder and said something quickly. Luo Tian, who didn't understand, could only wait for Ouyang to translate, but looking at Ouyang's darkened face, he knew that something was definitely not going to happen.
Sure enough, Ouyang turned around and spread his hands: "He said that we did not arrive at the agreed time, so the rough stone was sold to someone else. Moreover, he believed that he did not breach the contract because we did not sign a contract with him."
Indians have an unexpectedly good sense of contract. This sudden failure was like a bucket of cold water being poured on their head, from head to toe. Well, Luo Tian could only comfort himself. Things were going so smoothly in the past. Now,
Just for a little entertainment, Luo Tian touched his head and looked at Ouyang helplessly: "The original stone is gone, now we are really a tourist."
Ouyang Zheng was a little upset because it was his own fault that led to all this. He was born for profit. If this order could not be completed, his commission would be wasted, and his mood would suddenly go down.
The two depressed people walked out of the processing factory. They felt that the air was getting hotter and hotter. The heat blowing against their faces was like lighting a fire in their hearts. Luo Tian asked Ouyang: "Except for this one that has emerald rough, the others are...
No?"
"Yes, there are, but it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them. They only work through fixed channels. Even with this company, I have a lot of connections." Ouyang sighed: "Being in my line of work is like being a hunter. Where can I find it?"
The prey has to run with me, and I managed to get this deal, but it was ruined by my own hands."
Car accidents are all caused by car accidents.
"Okay, just let it go. It's not mine, and it has no fate with me. There's no benefit in forcing it. Ouyang, you've worked hard with me these past few days. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal.
"Luo Tian took Ouyang and looked around for restaurants, and finally found one that looked a bit high-end, but still served local dishes. Luo Tian really missed Chinese food, and even the fried dough sticks on the roadside were more appetizing than this.
There was a stall next to the hotel, displaying some local handicrafts. The owner was dressed in traditional clothes, and he was soliciting customers as if chanting sutras. Luo Tian had nothing to do, and walked around in front of the stall, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a statue of four statues.
Arm Bodhisattva, made of bronze.
If it is a bronze ware made with modern technology, the surface decoration will be very dull, and the surface of the bronze ware will be smoother. However, this four-armed Guanyin looks older than other bronzes, and the surface decoration is quite natural and lively. The four-walled Guanyin
The four arms respectively represent the four Buddhist behaviors of breathing, increasing, embracing, and killing.
Different from the Chinese Avalokitesvara statue, this four-armed Bodhisattva holds a green lotus, rosary beads and Buddhist scriptures in his hands. He wears a crown on his head, with a bun standing on top of his tightly knotted spiral hair. His face shows compassion, his eyelids are slightly drooped, and his forehead is
She is broad, with straight nose and shins, broad shoulders, thin waist and plump hips, which have the physical characteristics of ancient South Asian women.
Luo Tian looked over attentively. The entire Buddha statue was wrapped in soft green light. His vision was indeed correct. This was not a handicraft, but a serious Indian cultural relic! The date was 1687, which turned out to be from the Middle Ages.
product.
This really makes people sigh, after all, India is a country with ancient civilization. Rare and exotic objects are readily available. The stones children play with are rough black diamonds, and the artifacts mixed with handicrafts are medieval cultural relics!
"What's wrong?" Seeing Luo Tian stop, Ouyang also followed him: "I want to buy a gift."
This really reminded Luo Tian. Luo Tian nodded, picked up a few bracelets, the four-armed Bodhisattva, and some other pendants: "Yes, India is an ancient civilization. After all, I came here, so I must bring it with me."
Order something and go back, Ouyang, ask the price for me."
Ouyang started bargaining for Luo Tian. After a while, he won a big victory: "One hundred thousand rupees together."
Good quality and cheap! Apart from this word, I can't think of a more suitable word. Luo Tian took out one hundred thousand rupees, mixed the four-armed Bodhisattva and other handicrafts and ornaments together, and then walked into the hotel with Ouyang.
In fact, India's food culture also made Luo Tian very emotional. India is a vegetarian kingdom, and vegetarian culture is one of the most basic features of Indian food culture. Since most people in India like to eat vegetarian, there are many restaurants in India that only serve vegetarians.
Restaurants. Due to historical and religious reasons, Indian society has naturally produced the phenomenon that the more status and culture people have, the more vegetarian they are. On the contrary, the less status and culture people have, the more they eat everything. In addition, the religious color is particularly strong.
Groups such as the Indian Vegetarian Association strongly advocate vegetarianism, which has kept vegetarians at a high level for a long time.
Luo Tianjin's restaurant happens to be a high-end vegetarian restaurant. It's so sad. Luo Tian thinks that if he lived in ancient times, he must be the type who ate meat and drank wine. But as soon as the dishes came, the rich colors opened up.
As expected, you can’t just take anything by its appearance, you have to try it.
The two of them had a great time eating, and Ouyang said regretfully: "It's such a pity that you will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I feel it is a great honor to know you."
"The most honorable thing for me is to make others feel honored to know me." Luo Tian said like a tongue twister: "India is a good place, and I will definitely come again in the future."
"Then I wish you a safe journey."
"Wrong."
"What's wrong?" Ouyang felt that he always made mistakes in front of Luo Tian.
"For people who are going to fly, you can't say it's a smooth trip or unlucky." Luo Tian laughed: "But it doesn't matter, I have no taboos."
