Chapter 574: Gambling Stones in the Mining Area (Part 2)
Not long after walking, there was a sudden noise in front of me. At the turn not far ahead, there was a low-lying square where many people gathered.
"Where is that place over there?"
Li Yang raised his head and asked softly to Uncle Gao next to him. Everywhere they passed by was lifeless. The bustle here made people feel the obvious difference.
"This should be a nook and cranny!"
Uncle Gao took a step forward, frowned slightly, and said softly.
"Mr. Li, the nook is a unique name here. To put it simply, it is a small and disorderly gathering place. Anything is possible here!"
Gao Bo explained in a low voice, and Li Yang nodded immediately. Gao Bo's words made him understand a lot. The meeting in the corner is actually a leisure place that everyone is looking for spontaneously.
There are not only old people and children here in Lao Pagan City, there are also many adults, but these adults are either at the mines or gathering in this crowded place, and few of them stay at home.
"Boss, why don't we go over and take a look?"
Li Can stood in front of Li Yang and said out of curiosity that there were a lot of people in that low-lying square, at least hundreds of people. This was the place where they had seen the most people.
"Sundara, what do you think?"
Li Yang did not answer Li Can's words and turned around to ask Sandara, but his face was also full of curiosity.
"It's okay to go and have a look, but don't get separated!"
Seeing Li Yang's expression, Sandara just hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
To put it bluntly, this is just a gathering place for ordinary miners. There is generally no danger here. There seem to be a lot of people down there, but there are dozens of heavily armed soldiers around them. Going to a place like this is still a safety issue.
No problem. Sandara didn't want to disturb Li Yang's mood, so he simply agreed.
This low-lying square didn't look far away, but it wasn't very close when walking. It took Li Yang and the others ten minutes of walking to get there.
After arriving here, Wang Jiajia couldn't help but blush a little. Many of the people here were young men in their twenties and thirties. These young men were all shirtless, and the few who were not shirtless were only wearing vests.
As soon as Li Yang and the others arrived, the noise in the square became much quieter, and many people noticed them.
This is an open space that was excavated for some reason. The ground is a little wet, and the high slope next to it makes it very shady. It has gradually turned into a place for leisure.
There are many stones of different sizes placed in the center of the square, some are ordinary stones, and some are made of rough stone. There is an old stone dissolving machine in the center. Although the stone dissolving machine is very old, it can still be used.
.
After seeing this scene, Sandara and Gao Bo nodded silently, while Li Yang and Sima Lin showed waves of surprise on their faces.
This is a small stone gambling stronghold in the mining area. Sandara and Gao Bo have not been to the mining area for a long time. They did not expect such a place to be generated near the stronghold. However, the randomness of such a place is also very high. Now it is here
, it is very likely that it will disappear after a while.
The so-called stone gambling stronghold is a place where workers in the mining area gamble on stones themselves.
The mining area is isolated from the world and there is no leisure here. Stone gambling has become the only leisure for many miners.
These miners also have their own ideals. Every worker also hopes that he can become a respected stone gambling master like the Jade King in the future. At the beginning, the Jade King and Zhuo Lao both worked as miners in the mining area. These deeds have long since
It spread among the miners.
Because of the convenient conditions, it is easy for these miners to get involved in stone gambling. Many of them know a little bit about stone gambling. Some of them who are willing to learn and smart have really developed their skills and finally left the mining area and really became a miner.
Stone betting expert.
It was also because of the encouragement of these seniors that every miner here worked hard. Gradually, some stone gambling venues were formed for everyone to communicate or discuss. This small stronghold is one of them.
After finishing work, many miners will try their best to collect some waste materials that are not needed in the mine, and then bring these waste materials back to such a small stronghold when they are not working.
Most of these waste materials have no value, and valuable wool cannot fall into their hands. The management of the mine is very strict.
However, these woolen materials are a tool for them to learn and improve from each other. No matter how poor the woolen materials are, they are still real jadeite raw materials. Even if there is nothing in them, they are still stones mined from the same mine, but they have not produced jadeite.
Many people who have free time begin to comment on these materials. While their own comments increase their knowledge, other people around them can also learn a lot.
To put it simply, this kind of stronghold is a place where everyone can learn and progress together.
Li Yang suddenly took a few steps forward. Liu Gang and Zhao Kui Haidong followed Li Yang closely, looking around vigilantly. Sandara also hurriedly asked ten soldiers to follow Li Yang.
Not far in front, several people were studying a piece of wool in a low voice. It was a round piece of wool with a diameter of more than ten centimeters. At first, several people were discussing in a low voice. When Li Yang came, they immediately stopped talking.
They all raised their heads and stared at Li Yang blankly.
"Mr. Li!"
Uncle Gao also hurriedly followed and glanced at Li Yang doubtfully.
The piece of wool in front of me is a half-cut wool with a layer of white limestone inside and an inconspicuous gray-white stone shell. If this kind of wool is seen by people who don't know the industry, they will just think it is an ordinary stone.
In fact, the function of this kind of wool is similar to that of ordinary stones. It is a very valuable stone in the mining area and cannot be regarded as a real gambling stone. The gambling stones in the mining area cannot be taken away by ordinary miners. They can pick them up.
There are only very common stones, or lucky people can pick up a few pieces of real wool that no one wants.
Even the real wool that was picked was of extremely poor performance and worthless, just like the wool that Mr. Zhuo finally picked this time, it was like a gift.
"I'm fine, I just took a look casually!" Li Yang chuckled and shook his head, but there was a surprise hidden in his eyes.
Uncle Gao was curious, but seeing Li Yang's appearance he didn't know what to ask, so he could only nod his head.
There were three or four shirtless young people sitting around Maomao. Seeing Li Yang in bright clothes and the soldiers carrying weapons around him, they all sat there quietly.
"Is this piece of wool yours?"
Li Yang pointed to the half-cut piece of wool on the ground and asked. The cut piece of wool was obviously not the mark of the stone cutter's cutter, but more like it had been cut directly during the excavation process.
Both halves are the same.
Several shirtless young people looked at me, and I looked at you, with wary and confused expressions on their faces.
Gao Bo hurriedly stepped forward and spoke a few words in Burmese. On Li Yang's right, a man who looked about thirty years old started to scream, pointing at the piece of wool on the ground. Although Li Yang couldn't listen,
I understood what he was talking about, and now I also understood that he must be expressing the ownership of the piece of wool on the ground.
"Mr. Li, he said this was his. He picked it up from an abandoned mine a few days ago. He said it was a real piece of stone gambling material, but people around him said it was not. He was planning to use this piece of wool.
Maomao makes a bet with others!"
Gao Bo turned around and whispered to Li Yang. Gao Bo was very proficient in Chinese and Burmese. With him in Li Yang, there was no need to worry about language problems.
"Uncle Gao, ask him if he is willing to sell this piece of wool?"
Li Yang nodded. This time it was Gao Bo's turn to be surprised. Gao Bo lowered his head and looked carefully at the gray-white wool that looked like stone, and finally couldn't help but shake his head.
However, Uncle Gao still conveyed Li Yang's intention, and Sima Lin also came over from behind at this time.
"Li Yang, don't you see anything special about this place?"
Sima Lin turned over the piece of wool on the ground, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked Li Yang doubtfully. Gao Bo was talking to the man and secretly paying attention to Li Yang.
"No, it's special. Brother Sima let me give it a try first, and you'll know later!" Li Yang said with a chuckle.
At this time, Uncle Gao also turned his head and said to Li Yang: "Mr. Li, he didn't plan to sell it at first. He said it was a piece of stone wool that would definitely produce jade. But if you really want it, he is willing to give it a hundred dollars."
USD transfer!”
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Gao continued: "Mr. Li, let me tell you, this piece is not worth even one dollar, not to mention one hundred dollars. There are many such discarded stones on the mountain. If you want, we can pick them up for you at any time."
Come in bunches!”
Uncle Gao was Li Yang's assistant, and he had to think about Li Yang regardless of official or private matters. He didn't know that Li Yang deliberately asked what the purpose of such a piece of garbage was. He was loyal to his duty and added this just because he didn't want Li Yang to suffer.
Calling this piece of wool a discarded stone is enough to understand Gao Bo's views on this piece of wool.
"It doesn't matter, I want one hundred US dollars. Uncle Gao, I don't have any US dollars here. Can you help me pay it in advance?"
Li Yang chuckled lightly, and Gao Bo shook his head helplessly, and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his body. In many places in Myanmar, U.S. dollars are accepted, and Gao Bo usually takes some U.S. dollar cash with him when he goes out.
The owner of this piece of wool was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took the banknote from Gao Bo's hand, and looked around cautiously, with excitement on his face.
One hundred dollars is not a small amount for a miner. It is equivalent to an unexpected fortune. After looking around for a few times, the man suddenly stood up and walked out quickly, and disappeared in the distance after a while.
Others looked at him with envy, and then many people looked at Li Yang with burning eyes.
