? Under sweat, he quickly wrote another bid of 160,000 yuan and put it into the box. Less than a minute after putting it in, the staff took away the bid box. Xu Qing, who was standing aside, finally felt relieved.
A breath of turbidity.
Nowadays, there is no need for someone to read the results out loud. There are several giant fluorescent screens that scroll on the walls of the hall. The two thousand bid numbers and winning bid amounts issued every day are displayed on them. Jade jewelers only need to take the
The stub of the bid order can be filled in according to the number.
Two thousand bids may seem like a lot, but the real value may be less than one-twentieth. The comparison process is not complicated. The winning bidder only needs to take the bid stub to the designated toll office to pay.
It is undeniable that the organizer of the public auction is extremely efficient. It only took less than an hour to display the results of 2,000 bids on the day on the big screen.
On the first day, Xu Qing had a total of twenty pieces of materials, and he won eighteen pieces, which also included the most valuable pieces of semi-clear materials. This winning rate is already terrifying. This is
Focus on the benefits of covering your head.
Meng Shicheng took Xu Qing to the payment office to pay the winning bid for the goods that day, and then completed the shipping and other related procedures. The first day of the public sale came to an end.
Because of the Jade Public Land, almost all large hotels in Yangon are overcrowded, and even the traffic has become congested. The Myanmar government does not allow people to ride bicycles in the city, but the various vehicles passing by on the streets seem to
It looks like it was driven from a scrap car yard. It is stained with rust and has as many potholes as jade wool. It is called an antique. In comparison, any second-hand car dealer in our country that drives one out is at least three years ahead.
Ten years, even if it is scrapped and brought here, it can still be used for at least another thirty years!
Looking at the antique cars stumbling on the street, Xu Qing finally understood why Meng Shicheng and others chose to travel by car. Myanmar's four-wheel vehicles couldn't afford to hurt them!
Sitting in Meng Shicheng's stretched Hummer, looking out the window at the antique cars with thick smoke billowing from their tails, I felt so comfortable. It was worth the pain on the way.
Back at the hotel, Meng Shicheng treated everyone to a meal, all of which were Burmese specialties, including Burmese yellow croaker, tea leaves, curry crab, ginger oil prawns... Of course, fish meal soup and fried pakang are indispensable, as well as a bucket of
Nasi Lemak.
Meng Shicheng picked up a square banana leaf bun with his chopsticks and put it into Xu Qing's bowl. He said with a smile: "Come on, try this, Myanmar's special delicacy, fried pakang."
Fang Piaopiao also smiled and echoed: "Yes, if you haven't eaten fried pakang, your visit to Myanmar is in vain."
Xu Qing saw the two parents-in-law laughing in a weird way, and felt that there was something fishy about the fried pakang. He didn't bother to use clairvoyance to see, so he opened the banana leaf bag with his hands.
"Uh! Does this thing have anything to do with delicacies?" Xu Qing looked at the 'delicacies' lying in the banana leaf bag and was confused.
A big cricket covered in black, fried pakang? You look so disgusted, is this thing edible?
Meng Shicheng smiled strangely and said: "Try it, this is not an ordinary cricket. It costs 50 yuan a piece!"
Xu Qing rolled his eyes and said: "If it were alive and used to fight crickets with others, it might win ten thousand or eight thousand. It would be a pity to fry it!"
Fang Piaopiao opened a banana leaf bag, pinched the cricket legs with two jade fingers, put the upper part directly into her mouth, chewed it, and showed an expression of great enjoyment on her face, as if she was tasting it.
Superb gourmet food.
Tang Guobin tore open a banana leaf bag carelessly, picked up a big cricket and took a bite. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he started chewing happily.
"Is it really that delicious?" Xu Qing picked up the cricket with a suspicious look on his face, brought it to his mouth and hesitated before stuffing it in. He chewed it with his teeth together, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth. He chewed it up in three mouthfuls, swallowed it, and immediately reached out to grab it again.
A banana leaf bag...
This meal was quite enjoyable. Xu Qing alone ate twenty fried crickets. Meng Shicheng dubbed him a master of pest control. The reason is very simple: crickets are pests!
Xu Qing mentioned to Tang Guobin about visiting the Buddhist temple tomorrow, and Young Master Tang agreed wholeheartedly. Anyway, he came to the fair just for fun, and it was naturally refreshing to experience the exotic customs, so it was a worthwhile trip.
The next day, Xu Qing did not go to the public sale with Meng Shicheng and others, but stayed in the hotel room to wait for a call. At around nine o'clock, Guo Sangkun called as scheduled, saying that the car had arrived at the entrance of the Guomao Hotel.
I asked Tang Guobin to leave the hotel together, and I saw Guo Sangkun in a salon. This guy drove a brand new Mercedes-Benz business car here today. It is quite good in Myanmar where antique cars are everywhere. This car is the largest.
The advantage is that it can accommodate people, and it feels spacious and comfortable for five men to sit on it.
When it comes to Yangon Buddhist temples, the most famous one is Shwedagon Pagoda. This is the most sacred Buddhist temple in Myanmar. It enshrines the relics of four Buddhas, namely Kassapa Buddha's robe, Sakyamuni's robe, Golden Silk Buddha's bottle and
The Staff of Detaining Sun Buddha. These four Buddhist treasures make Jinguang Temple a well-deserved Buddhist holy place. There is an endless stream of believers coming to worship every day, and the monks gather in the temple to make incense and prosperous.
It was sunny and sunny today, a good day for traveling, and there were a lot of pedestrians on the road. Xu Qing noticed that there were two old-fashioned Volga sedans following the business car, presumably Guo Sangkun's bodyguards.
It was already noon when the car arrived in front of the Shwedagon Pagoda. When we got off the car, we saw a magnificent giant pagoda, the Shwedagon Pagoda. It is said that this pagoda is ninety-eight meters high. The body of the pagoda is covered with pure gold foil. It is not perfect.
According to statistics, more than 7,000 kilograms of pure gold have been affixed to this pagoda, making it a veritable pagoda.
There are sixty-eight small pagodas around the Shwedagon Pagoda. In the niches of each small pagoda are placed jade-carved Buddha statues with different shapes and solemn expressions. Stepping into one will make people feel the urge to prostrate themselves on the ground and worship.
You are not allowed to wear shoes when entering the Shwedagon Pagoda. You must walk barefoot, otherwise it will be a great disrespect to the Buddha. This applies to ordinary people, to high-ranking officials, and even to the head of a country.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is shaped like an upside-down giant golden bucket, with four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. There are two tall stone lions in front of each gate, which are the same as the lion beasts guarding the gates of domestic temples (5). There are corridor-style stairs inside the gate.
It leads directly to the top of the tower, and there are many stalls selling incense and flowers on both sides. Surprisingly, there are also many flavor food stalls. The aroma of the food mixed with the smell of incense and candles creates a unique taste.
After Xu Qing and others heard Guo Sangkun's introduction, they all took off their shoes and socks and entered the Shwedagon Pagoda barefoot. The road was quite clean and it didn't feel cold when they stepped on it.
In fact, Xu Qing wanted to see the four relics of the Buddha the most. He had an idea in his mind. If there was gold attached to those four objects, he would have to find a way to absorb them no matter how difficult it was. After sightseeing in the pagoda for a while,
He expressed his intention to visit the Buddha to Guo Sangkun.
