After explaining to her colleagues, Irina drove a police car and took Li Tianbao into an old street in Naypyidaw. Although the buildings here were a bit poor, the overall feeling reminded Li Tianbao of Beijing.
In Panjiayuan, a police car stopped at the door of a store advertised as "Hua Cuifang". After getting out of the car, Li Tianbao looked at the signboard and said excitedly: "This is a store opened by Chinese, right?"
"That's right, you can tell just by looking at the sign." Li Tianbao said to himself, and then strode into the store.
The decoration inside the store is as old as the outside, and there is only an old man sitting in front of the counter wearing simple but very Chinese-style clothes.
"Hello!" Li Tianbao said.
After listening to Li Tianbao's words, the old man raised his head excitedly, and it was obvious that there was some excitement and excitement in his eyes.
"Man, are you from Beijing?"
The old man spoke with a strong Beijing accent, which made Li Tianbao particularly friendly.
"Hey, your accent is more upright than mine. It's rare to hear your authentic Beijing accent in Beijing now?" Li Tianbao said with some emotion.
"Hi! This is all caused by the Mandarin on TV. Hurry up and sit down and tell me about the changes in Beijing. There are quite a few Chinese here, but I haven't been to 'Old Family' for a long time. See the Beijing men.
I’m happy, son.”
As the old man spoke, he moved a wooden chair out of the counter and placed it in front of Li Tianbao. The old man took out a particularly delicate purple clay pot, filled it with water and handed it to Li Tianbao.
"Tieguanyin, try it. I brought it here from China."
"Thank you, old man, you can do it too. My name is Li Tianbao. What's your surname?" After Li Tianbao asked the old man to sit down, the two chatted about lengthening. Irina listened with great interest. Of course, the most excited one was
The old man who did not want to be named.
Hearing the emotional part, the old man couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"It's great. No matter whether the country is strong or not, I still like Beijing. I really want to go home and see it."
Li Tianbao saw why the old man was so excited and listened. He took out a handkerchief brought from China and handed it to the old man. Li Tianbao bought it from Panjiayuan Street Stall for five yuan. Of course, Li Tianbao also liked it.
embroidery on handkerchief.
After the old man looked at the flying dragon embroidered on the handkerchief, he couldn't bear to use it to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Finally, the old man wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands, and then smiled and said to Li Tianbao: "This
But I can’t bear to wipe my tears with our giant dragon.”
After the old man finished speaking, he said: "Well, my old man has delayed you for so long. Tell me what you are doing here. If it is carving work, then I promise to do it for you in one day."
"Hey, thank you very much. I really want you to carve some things for me." After speaking, Li Tianbao took out the piece of jadeite the size of a pigeon egg from his bag.
The old man's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said in surprise: "Good stuff, really good stuff. I haven't seen such authentic material in many years. This is a piece of imperial jade!"
The old man's words really surprised Li Tianbao. Although he didn't know what "imperial green jade" was, it was definitely an extremely rare jade variety.
"What is the imperial green jadeite?" Li Tianbao asked.
"Wait a moment, I will give you a simple shine and you will know. It is difficult to see the result without polishing. I only dare to make a bold guess because I have been dealing with jade all my life."
After speaking, the old man took Li Tianbao's piece of jade that had not been polished and came to the polishing machine on the counter. After a few professional polishes, the old man couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is indeed imperial green. Young man, you are really awesome."
Make a fortune, this is a good thing that is rare to see in a hundred years."
The old man turned around and said to Li Tianbao: "The so-called 'Emperor Green Jade' is also called emerald jade. It means that the green hue of jade is very pure and rich to the same level as emerald. Its hue is closest to the spectrum."
The green in the middle is rich and unique. It is green. The green in the middle is the purest color. It has the feeling that the green is about to drip out. It also feels that there is a slight blue in the green, but there is no color cast, giving people a dignified and noble look.
Beauty. Under the gaze, a strong lake green appears, which is close to lake blue at first glance. Under strong light, it appears emerald green. In nature, there are many kinds of green, but emerald can reach the imperial green.
It is very rare, and the jadeite industry has always believed that imperial green is the best color among jadeite. Therefore, imperial green jadeite has become the best jadeite without any dispute.
After hearing this, Li Tianbao suddenly became enlightened and thought, "It turns out that there is such a top-quality jade among jade."
Obviously Li Tianbao pays more attention to the price of things, so he asked straight to the point: "Old man, what is the price of imperial green jade?"
"In the traditional Chinese jade culture, jade is respected by green. It is believed that this pure green emerald is the last color in jade, and there is no one. It is as noble and cherished as an emperor, so people regard this kind of pure emerald as the last color in jade.
This grade of jade is called "imperial green jade".
Because imperial green jade is commonly found in glass jade, of course ice jade and waxy jade also have imperial green jade. In the market, the imperial green jade we can see is generally the imperial green jade ring face, imperial green jade bracelet,
For example, some small flower pieces, every piece of imperial green jadeite is the best among jadeites, and is loved and respected by consumers. However, the price of imperial green jadeite is so high that sometimes a glass imperial green jadeite is
A cross-section can be sold for hundreds of thousands, or even higher.”
A single noodle can be sold for at least several hundred thousand yuan, so if I can sell it for hundreds of millions of yuan, Li Tianbao's mind suddenly got big, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Young man, I didn't spend a penny, and it turned out to be a success."
A billionaire."
After hearing what Li Tianbao said, the old man was surprised and asked: "What? You didn't spend a penny, so where did you get such a top-notch thing?"
"Hehe..." Li Tianbao smiled first, and then said: "To tell you the truth, I got this thing by gambling with a Japanese girl." Li Tianbao told the old man exactly what happened.
.
After hearing this, the old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a twist of fate, young man, your patriotism is worth a billion, but I think it's worth it. This is what a man like you should get."
After the old man finished speaking, he said to Li Tianbao: "Man, I'm not a stingy old man. This thing belongs to you. Ordinarily I shouldn't say this, but if you buy it like this, you can probably sell it for tens of millions. You
Do you still want to make something to give away?"
After hearing what the old man said, Li Tianbao first smiled, and then said: "Old man, it seems that you are also a naughty master. You immediately saw my purpose. You don't want to reveal your name, so I will call you the old naughty master."
!”
"Hey, you're not lazy either. If I hadn't been so incompetent when I was young, I wouldn't have come to Myanmar to live."
"Then you should know the character of the stubborn master. We only do things for fun. How can we not count the things we promised to others? Six safe buckles, and you can do the remaining ten cross-sections for me slowly."
"Good boy, no problem. Leave the things here with me. Come and pick up the three safety buckles in the evening. That thing is easy to make. Although the cross-section is small, it is a delicate job. So you have to allow me three days to get the other three buckles.
The safety buckle and ten sections are ready."
"Okay, then I'll pick it up in the evening."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he turned around and left. The old stubborn master hurriedly said: "Your handkerchief"
"As a souvenir for you, by the way, one of the six safety buckles is for you. It's a gift from me, a little nugget from Beijing, to you, an old nugget, but I won't pay you any processing fees."
The old man looked at Li Tianbao and couldn't help blurting out: "Such a bold young man, like this imperial green jadeite, is rare to see in a hundred years. He will definitely be a young man with a bright future."
When Li Tianbao got into the car, he said to Elena: "Do you have any special dishes in Myanmar? Take me to eat some. I'll treat you."
"Yes, yes, but I want to ask you something. Do you really want to give me one of those things?"
"Of course, why do you ask?" Li Tianbao asked.
"I heard what the old man said just now, that thing is too expensive, I can't have it!"
"Hey, you heroic policewoman, why are you acting so mother-in-law? I'm really hungry, take me to eat." Li Tianbao urged, covering his growling stomach.
The two came to a relatively high-end hotel, and then Irina began to introduce Myanmar's catering, "Myanmar is an ancient country with a long history and culture. It is relatively poor and backward, and was once invaded by foreign countries. Therefore, Myanmar's
Diet has also been affected to a certain extent.
There are many ethnic descendants in Myanmar, the most obvious of which are Indians. In Mandalay, Indians account for a relatively large proportion, so Burmese-style Indian snacks are also a highlight, such as curry rice, hand-picked rice, and taped rice.
Ma et al.
Myanmar's snacks are a collection of foods from many countries, including China, India, Western Europe, etc. Therefore, Myanmar people are a people who love to eat. Whether they are rich or poor, they all eat more and eat less. Therefore, Myanmar
The dishes are relatively sour, spicy and salty, so they go well with rice.
Even in the morning, we prefer to eat instead of pasta. Firstly, we are not used to it, and secondly, no one feels full without eating."
"Haha, it's not the same as us southerners in China, but it seems that you can't eat authentic 'Burmese food' in this kind of place, because I have a common sense, that is, the better the restaurant, the less authentic it is.
Local cuisine.”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be a 'foodie'. Fortunately, you haven't ordered yet. Otherwise, I would take you to my house and ask my mother to cook some authentic Burmese dishes for you. However, my house is very simple, so I'm afraid you won't be used to it.
","Haha, it's shabby, and my basement can be even shabbier." After Li Tianbao said that, he turned around and walked out of the hotel.
Elena drove the car and soon came to a relatively simple house. It looked simple enough, because she had seen some better houses when she came, which were obviously better than Elena's home.
A lot.
As soon as Elena and Li Tianbao entered the door, they saw a woman wearing Burmese traditional clothing. Li Tianbao was busy saying hello: "Hello, Burmese auntie."
