I Have a Little Black Hole

Lei Tiantang, who had barely eaten breakfast, left the restaurant and walked to Mandalay Palace to visit according to the mobile phone navigation. After walking for about 15 minutes, I came to the ticket office in front of the palace. The visit to the palace is free, but because he is a foreign tourist, he needs to buy a Mandalay pass to play in Mandalay.

According to the knowledge provided by online friends, Lei Tiantang had a preliminary impression of the Mandalay Palace.

Mandalay Palace is the palace of the last dynasty in Myanmar, the Gongbang Dynasty. It was built in 1859. It is a wooden structure. It is made of teak, a precious tree species unique to Myanmar. It is not easy to crack and is resistant to corrosion. , The feudal Burmese dynasty also designated teak as the royal wood, and the palace and the imperial city were built with this wood.

There are a total of 104 temples in the palace, and the buildings are mainly red and gold. Part of the current Mandalay Palace was rebuilt in 1989, so many Burmese people do not have a good impression of the Mandalay Palace. But this did not affect Lei Tiantang's interest in visiting.

Looking at the palace from the outside, the scenery is very good, there are long palace walls, every section of the long palace wall is beautiful, every section of the wall is decorated with a pavilion, and the design of each pavilion is Different, some are complex and tall, some are simple and small, but the styles are similar, beautiful in shape, mostly white, and they are extraordinarily enchanting against the backdrop of red walls and green trees. The long city wall is reflected in the moat, which is also unique. Lei Tiantang took a lot of photos outside and posted them on Moments and Weibo.

But when he entered the courtyard, Lei Tiantang felt that it was the same. He didn't feel anything when he saw it, because most of the houses were temples, and he was not a Buddhist believer.

The yard is still quite large, and the scenery in some places is still good, especially the watchtower, which is a good place to take pictures. Lei Tiantang stood on it and took a lot of panoramic pictures of the palace with his mobile phone.

After walking around for about an hour, Lei Tiantang, who felt that it was meaningless, left the palace, and suddenly felt that there was no fun place to go, because most of the scenic spots checked on the mobile phone were temples, except for going to Mande in the evening. Taking pictures of the sunset on Leshan, he doesn't know what to do now.

After thinking about it, he still decided to go to the Emerald Market in Mandalay. He went there last night and there were not many stalls. Now day is definitely not the same as night. When I went there last night, many of the stalls were empty. Today he plans to go shopping.

Another point is that he must buy some rough jadeites to bring back to China, otherwise he will take out a few top-quality jadeites at once, and the origin of these jadeites is not very easy to explain.

After leaving the palace, Lei Tiantang called a car and took him to the Jade Market. As soon as he entered, he was shocked. During the day, the Jade Market was crowded, and there were many people in front of almost every stall.

Today, he still intends to find out if he can open another high-quality rough jadeite in the market, because he plans to buy a lot of rough stones to bring back to China, and he can't buy many rough stones with more than 800,000 in his pocket. Another point is to prove his luck and strength to the outside world, otherwise, what will others think when so many top jades suddenly appear in the future.

As for the improvement of the stone gambling level, it is too late for him to learn and sell it now. He plans to learn by the way when he buys rough stones in the past few days. After all, he didn't have to gamble on stones for a living. The purpose of his coming to Myanmar to engage in jadeite is very clear, that is, he wants to get a start-up fund, and by the way, he can save some materials for future artistic creation. As for other plans in the future, he plans to think about it after returning to China.

So he started to slowly turn around these stalls with his skills. While watching how people choose stones, while listening to the stall owner explain these rough stones, combined with what he saw with his own skills, his understanding of jade rough stones is also slowly improving.

He also bought a few rough stones by the way, some of which had emeralds in them, and the texture was not very good, and some were big stones. Anyway, the use of these purchases is an excuse, and it didn't cost much, and Lei Tiantang didn't care.

After walking around for a long time, seeing that everyone had eaten, he also felt a little hungry, so he simply ate outside before coming in again. After watching it for a long time, I also watched the solution several times. Only one boss opened a piece of jade with a spring color. The value was good, and it was barely a small profit. Only then did Lei Tiantang understand what the ten gambling nine crosses on the Internet meant.

It's no wonder that clear goods and finished products are so hot in the market. Although buying clear goods and finished products also requires some eyesight, it is much more stable than buying these head coverings.

But Lei Tiantang is not afraid, people who open the hang are not stupid if they don't gamble all the time! The few rough stones he bought in the afternoon are basically in stock. Although they are not of particularly good quality, Lei Tiantang still intends to buy a few more rough stones like this one. , and then make jewelry for them. After all, it is not appropriate to give those top-quality jadeite products to friends.

Another reason was that he planned to go back and buy a villa, and then he planned to use these rough jadeite stones to pile up the rockery in the yard. Thinking of friends who knew goods coming to the house, Lei Tiantang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw such a rockery. Straightforward. Pretend to be different!

Of course, he is still very early from this goal, and he has not yet found the rough stone that can provide him with the funds for the sweep. Now I can only think about it, and then continue to visit the booth to find the rough stone.

It’s still better to search for each booth one booth at a time. After all, if he directly puts the field to the maximum, he can quickly find satisfactory rough stones, but what’s the fun in doing that?

Finally, after shopping for most of the afternoon, I finally found a satisfactory rough stone. Still a rough stone. This rough stone is not small, with a label indicating 60 kilograms. Field mouth is Pagan.

However, because there are 2 openings in this rough stone, there is nothing under one opening, and the other opening is under a piece of moss. There is jadeite here, but the water species of jadeite is only hibiscus, and there are some cracks.

Therefore, the merchants did not continue to open, but put them out to sell as half-betting materials. There were still a few customers who saw this rough stone, and they all surrounded the rough stone with strong flashlights. They should have formed a group to gamble on stones, or they would not have looked at a rough stone together.

So Lei Tiantang stood by and didn't speak, and the rules still had to be said. After a while, one of the leaders came out and asked the boss: Boss, we want 300,000 yuan for this material, and 300,000 yuan can still be gambled.

Then how can it be done, this boss, I bid 600,000 yuan, and you paid half of it back. We bought more than this price. The stall owner is a young Burmese young man. Hearing that these guests gave back half of the price, He smiled wryly.

Well, if you want the guests, I can make it cheaper. How about you take away 550,000 RMB! The stall owner thought for a while.

It's too much. I don't know how much meat is in this piece. It's still a question mark whether the crack on the meat will have an impact. We're taking too much risk at your price. Like this. How about 350,000? The customer continued to bargain.

That's not good, boss, I can't make it at this price, at least 500,000. If you think it's OK, buy it. If it doesn't work, you can look at other things. The stall owner lowered the price to 500,000 and refused to drop it.

Lei Tiantang estimated that this stone was bought by the owner of the stall for gambling, and the result was not ideal. He sold it as a semi-bet and didn't want to lose too much, so it was understandable that he would not cut the price.
