At the entrance of the store, the person sitting in front of the wooden machine just raised his head and immediately continued the work at hand.
Li Yang stood there, watching the man working in front of the wooden machine with great interest.
Shuideng is a jade cutting tool that Li Yang has seen in ancient books. It uses the power of pedals to drive the grinding wheel to rotate to polish and cut jade. Li Yang has only seen this kind of tool in books, and this is the first time.
See the real thing for the first time.
"Li Yang, what is Shui Deng?"
Wang Jiajia asked in a low voice. She really couldn't see anything special about the wooden machine in front of her. She only felt dull and dull.
"Shuiden is a tool. In ancient times, when there was no electricity, workers would sit on a high stool and push the pedal hard with their feet to drive the upper wheel to rotate, and then glue the jade to be cut together.
Use an iron rod to cut the jade on the wheel. Although the working efficiency is not high, it is also a very practical cutting tool in places without power supply!"
Li Yang slowly explained that in the era without electricity, Shuideng was the most common stone-cutting tool. At present, purely manual stone-cutting tools such as Shuideng are almost impossible to see in China. Li Yang also did not expect to see such tools in Myanmar.
Something ancient.
Perhaps only places like Myanmar, where power outages are common, will retain this kind of thing. In any case, it is an ancient Chinese culture, and it is a pity that no one in the country uses it anymore.
"I look like a sewing machine!"
Wang Jiajia muttered softly, and Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Jiajia, you are right, this thing is actually similar to a sewing machine, this is the sewing machine on jade!"
Li Yang spoke with a hint of emotion. The man who was stepping on the water board looked up at Li Yang and continued to do the work at hand. There is often no electricity here, and many people have long been accustomed to using this device.
Habits similar to ancient tools.
After watching for a while, Li Yang left with some reluctance.
This kind of pure hand tool is almost impossible to see in China. Even the current carving masters are based on machine analysis of stone and then carving it. Ancient tools like Shuideng were almost invisible unless Li Yang saw them with his own eyes.
The block is about to be forgotten.
"Mr. Li, in front is our sales point, there is a market here that belongs to us!"
Sandara suddenly said to Li Yang, passing through the ornaments area, he immediately entered the woolen fabrics area. There were less than ten narrow streets in the woolen fabrics area, and all the shops in one street belonged to Sandara's family.
It is also their family’s window to the outside world. In addition to there, there are also some of their family’s shops in the finished jewelry area and carving area. This can also be regarded as their family’s window to the outside world.
"Master Sandara!"
"Third Young Master!"
"Third Young Master!"
After entering this street, many people greeted Sandala. Sandala ranked third in the family. Many elders in the family called him the third son or the third young master, which has different meanings.
Same.
"Uncle Gao, is Mr. Zhuo here today?" Sandara looked a little excited and greeted an old man in his sixties happily.
Li Yang carefully looked at the woolen fabrics placed on this street. Some of them were new woolen fabrics, and their value was not very high. But there were also some old woolen fabrics, and some woolen fabrics were not performing very well, even if someone came.
It also costs a lot of money to buy it.
This place is indeed much better than the ornament area.
"Mr. Zhuo is here!" The old man who was given the job of Uncle Gao by Sundala hurriedly replied, and the smile on Sundala's face became even brighter.
"Okay, I understand, I'm going to see Mr. Zhuo now!"
Sandara said lightly, and then made a gesture of invitation to Li Yang, asking Li Yang to walk in front.
The Gao Bo looked at Li Yang in surprise, shook his head and went on to do his own thing. He is the person in charge of this market.
I didn't go with General Thornton to greet Li Yang today. I just regarded Li Yang as a strange young man.
"Mr. Zhuo is the stone gambling expert that my uncle admires the most, and he is also Chinese. Thirty years ago, he was as famous as Mr. Jade King Ma, and even back then, Mr. Zhuo's level was no less than that of the Jade King!"
Walking on the road, Sundala introduced to Li Yang in a low voice that the woolen materials in this street all belonged to the Sundara family. Except for some merchants who wholesaled woolen materials, there were not many customers.
"No less than the Emerald King?"
Li Yang frowned slightly. No matter at home or abroad, the most famous person in the jade world is the Jade King. This old man has been famous in the jade world for more than thirty years. It can be said that there has been no one like him.
Comparable.
Even Li Yang was only compared with Shao Yuqiang, the new Jade King. When he really compared Li Yang with Mr. Ma, the Jade King, no one knew that Li Yang could beat this real Jade King.
"Yes, Mr. Zhuo's life is very legendary. You will know it when you see him!"
Sandara nodded heavily and continued to walk forward. The most important place in this street is the large warehouse at the innermost place. This is where his family wholesales important woolen materials. Every time they negotiate business, it costs hundreds of dollars.
Tens of millions.
The warehouse is very large, with thousands of pieces of jadeite wool of all kinds arranged in a messy manner. These wools are all real old-fashioned materials, ranging from high, middle and low-end, and many of them are pure jade wool.
These are just representatives, and the wool of these representatives alone is worth tens of millions of yuan, which is enough to show the power of the Sandara family in Myanmar.
These woolen materials are placed very scattered, and it seems that there are no protective measures, but no one will open their eyes and want to snatch the things here. In Myanmar, if you offend the government, you may be released one day, if you offend the five major local families,
It is absolutely impossible to die without knowing how.
"Mr. Zhuo, I didn't expect you to be here today!"
Sandara suddenly took two quick steps. Next to the largest warehouse, there was an old man in his seventies lying on a recliner. The old man's hair was all white, but he still looked very energetic, but his eyes were still fixed.
They were all closed, as if they were asleep.
"Sundara, you are back!"
The old man sat up straight and gently knocked on the handle of the recliner. He still didn't open his eyes and said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhuo, I'm back!"
Sandara nodded heavily, and the old man lying on the chair slowly opened his eyes. Li Yang's heart jumped suddenly. The old man's opened eyes were all white, and he couldn't see at all.
To a little black pupils.
"Sundara, is this Mr. Zhuo?"
Li Yang asked in surprise. Sandara had just introduced him to Mr. Zhuo as a stone gambling master no less than the Jade King. However, Li Yang never expected that Mr. Zhuo turned out to be a man with abnormal eyes.
people.
When Mr. Zhuo rolled his eyes, Wang Jiajia couldn't help but lean into Li Yang's arms. Mr. Zhuo's eyes had absolutely no color except white. Such eyes would probably be a blind man under any circumstances.
"Mr. Li, this is indeed Mr. Zhuo!"
Sandara nodded again, this time the expression on his face became serious.
Zhuo Lao was a well-known stone gambling expert thirty years ago. At that time, the situation in China was a bit special. The so-called stone gambling was not respected at all. Many stone gambling experts at that time, including Mr. Jade King Ma, moved to Myanmar.
within the territory.
At that time, the duo of Zhuo and Ma were the most famous gambling masters. Zhuo refers to Mr. Zhuo, and Ma refers to Mr. Jade King Ma. At that time, Mr. Zhuo was still ahead of Mr. Jade King Ma.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Mr. Zhuo unfortunately lost his sight in an accident. For a stone betting expert, blindness is almost the most painful blow. At that time, no one was optimistic about Mr. Zhuo. Slowly, Mr. Ma
Mr. Zhuo became known as the Emerald King, but in the end very few people remembered Mr. Zhuo's name.
However, few people know that after Mr. Zhuo lost his sight, he became even more powerful at gambling on stones.
In the past thirty years, Mr. Zhuo has developed a pair of good ears. He does not need to see with his eyes. He can judge a piece of wool just by listening. From then on, Mr. Zhuo also became a guest of General Thornton and was the most popular person.
There is no one respected stone betting expert.
It is a pity that Mr. Zhuo can only listen to single-piece gambling stones. Because of his eye problems, he can no longer go to gambling mines. Otherwise, it is unknown whether General Thornton will invite Li Yang this time.
Sandara introduced these situations to Li Yang in a low voice, and the surprise on Li Yang's face became more and more serious.
It can be said that Li Yang has never heard of a stone expert who uses his ears to judge stones. He has never thought of it before. The important features of stone wool need to be identified with the eyes. Even if you look at it, sometimes you can't see it accurately. Just go and see it.
Listen, Li Yang didn't dare to think about this result.
"Sundara, who is this kid next to you?"
Mr. Zhuo asked suddenly. His eyes were still closed when he spoke. Mr. Zhuo was lying on the recliner. If you didn't look at his eyes, anyone would think that he was a peaceful old man resting with his eyes closed.
"Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Li is indeed the most important guest I have invited this time. Mr. Li is known as the Jade Sage in the jade world and is the most outstanding genius in recent years!"
Sandara answered hurriedly, with a very respectful look on his face.
Mr. Zhuo can be said to be a master of his grandfather's generation. Not to mention him, even his uncle, General Thornton, respects Mr. Zhuo very much. Mr. Zhuo usually lives a very casual life. If he wants
He would go to the trading market to check the wool and go fishing when he didn't want to. No one would interfere with his life.
"Jade Sage? Are you the Li Yang who suppressed Lao Ma's apprentice until he couldn't lift his head?"
Mr. Zhuo suddenly stood up and rolled his eyes again. The white pupils in his eyes were so scary that Wang Jiajia couldn't help but let Li Yang lean against him again. Even Li Yang himself felt like his hair was rising.
Sandara was stunned for a moment. He brought Li Yang just to introduce the two of them to each other. Among other things, they were the two people whom Sandara admired most in gambling. It was just that Sandara
He never expected that Mr. Zhuo would mention Shao Yuqiang's matter when he saw Li Yang.
Only Zhuo Lao can call the Jade King Lao Ma, and the most famous disciple of the Jade King is Shao Yuqiang.
