Chapter 574: The ugliness has reached a new level (Second update

Myanmar is not as prosperous as Great China, and vehicles are not as easy to find as in the border town of Yinnan Province. Le Yun rented a small truck for freight transportation. The truck did not go to Mina, the capital of Kachin State, but went to Meng Gong, which is only 50 kilometers away from Mina.

Based on the distance, Meng Gong is connected to Y Province There are more than 100 kilometers of border crossings, and it only takes one or two hours based on a vehicle speed of 80 kilometers per hour. However, Myanmar’s roads are not very good in some places, and the speed of trucks remains at 60 to 70 kilometers per hour.< br />
There are many checkpoints on the road, and station wagons or vehicles with Y-nan province license plates are subject to inspection. Le Xiao’s classmate took a local minivan and did not need to be inspected, so he could run away leisurely.

It took nearly two and a half minutes to travel more than 100 kilometers, and it was already after 5:30 local time when we arrived in Mengong. There is a time difference of nearly two hours between Myanmar and the capital of Greater China. Let’s talk about it. It is roughly equivalent to about 7:30 pm in the capital of Great China.

No matter how you look at it, Meng Gong is a self-destructive and free-development city. The construction of residential buildings and streets seems very random. Five o'clock A few minutes later, the sun has not yet set, but the breath of dusk has invaded the town. People can be seen on the road leading to the city. People setting up stalls and doing business on the streets of the town are also preparing to close their stalls. The pace of life is slow and calm.

Menggong used to be the largest jade market in Kachin State and even the entire Myanmar. Most of the raw jadeite produced from various sites had to pass through Menggong and Mina before flowing to other places. The jade market moved a few years ago. Going to Wacheng, the second largest city in Myanmar, Meng Gongcai is no longer the largest jade market in the country, but its location is still important. In comparison, its floating population is very large, and almost all the merchants coming and going are I went for the jade stone.

There were not many hotels. The truck driver sent Le Xiao to the door of the second best hotel in the city. After paying the fare, she entered the hotel to go through the accommodation procedures. I paid half a month's accommodation fee in advance, completed the formalities, and happily picked up my suitcase and went upstairs to check in.

After placing my luggage properly, I went downstairs to find a place to eat, then returned to the hotel and checked I went to every place but couldn't find the camera. I went back to the space to finish my work, took a shower and washed clothes, then read a book until 11 o'clock and went to bed.

The next day was June 14th.

When the sky in Europe was dawning, Earl Ryan headed to the airport with his personal bodyguard Abner. At the same time, Miao Miaodan also canceled his planned trip to visit a certain earl in another state. Set off to return home.

Myanmar is in the rainy season in June, and it often rains. On the morning of the 14th, it started to rain. The pattering raindrops made the sky a bit hazy.< br />
Le Yun got up very early, at five o'clock local time, and found that it was raining outside.Not in a hurry to go out, I meditated and practiced until about seven o'clock before leaving the hotel to have breakfast. When I came back, I asked the hotel staff which street I could bet on on rough jade stones.

It rained until eight o'clock and then slowly stopped. The air when the rain stopped was fresh and cool, and the mountains in the distance were misty. It was easy to show a corner of the tropical style here, and there was also Mystery.

After the rain, vendors gradually set out their stalls, and the water-stained street slowly became lively.

When the sky became brighter, Leyun put on her bag, dragged a suitcase, and went shopping happily.

She took a detour from the boss and came to Meng Gong. Naturally, she had already made a plan. Based on the information she got from the hotel waiter, she rushed straight to the stone gambling street.

As the largest jade market in Myanmar, Meng Gong may not be as prosperous as the border port city of Ynan Province. However, the number of raw jade stones is absolutely amazing. Cities are high-end luxury goods. In Mengong, the treatment is even lower than at the border of Yinnan Province. They are all placed on both sides of the street like cabbage.

In addition to raw jadeite and semi-processed jadeite, there are also rubies, amber, etc., as well as tusks, horns, palms, etc. of animals such as elephants, tigers, and leopards. As for whether it is true or false, it is like gambling on stones. It all depends on everyone's perspective.

It’s not only early for pedestrians, but also early for pedestrians. She’s early, and others are not too late. Many merchants looking for jade are wandering the streets, and some are pure tourists who wander there with the intention of picking up leaks. Join in the fun on the street.

In order to grab business, Myanmar businessmen who originally had a slow pace of life also survived by the fittest. In response to the call to plan their day in the morning, the shops opened very early, while the vendors in the open-air stalls were affected by the morning rain. The stall was delayed until the rain stopped. Every time items were put out, the owner would spread a tarp and sit or stand, eating without breakfast.

Meng Gong’s jade market is equivalent to the second-hand market for jade. The first-hand market is naturally the entrance to the raw jade ore, which is also the most primitive first-hand market. However, to actually go to the jade market The merchants at the entrance are all farm owners or big businessmen who are long-term business partners with the operators of the market. Generally speaking, not all jade merchants will go to the production site. After all, the jade markets are all located in remote mountains and ridges, and outsiders cannot go there. Jade trading has a considerable risk value.

The scale of Meng Gong is less than that of a town, roughly equivalent to the location of the township government of a small township, because it was once the first city before the jadeite was flowing out. Even if it is small, the streets On the contrary, it was very lively.

The streets are very simple, with asphalt roads, and the residential buildings are low and have their own style. Fortunately, the infrastructure is average, but it does not live up to the name of the "Jade Market". Shops and stalls You can see raw jade stones everywhere, as well as rubies, amber, etc.

　It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The words of the ancients are true. If you don’t go to a certain place, you will never know the customs and environment there. People who have never been to the border cities of Yinnan Province will definitely not believe that jade jewelry is everywhere. Scenes are commonplace. Similarly, if you go to the towns near the origin of jade, you will never be able to imagine the treatment of raw jade stones. They are just scattered on the paper. At first glance, people who are not familiar with them think they are It's the stones on the roadside by the river.

The open-air stalls are mobile. Some of the jadeite sellers are dug by the miners themselves, some are dumped by the miners, and some are sold by hired help. Sometimes there are also jadeite sellers mixed in among the stalls. Fruit sellers, trinket sellers, vegetable sellers, etc. are more interesting in life than just selling stone streets.

Le Yun dragged her suitcase onto the street and rushed excitedly to a grocery street with the largest number of jadeite stones. She first took a rough look at the street from a distance and then took a closer look, looking for treasures from stall to stall. Pick up leaks.

The place is small, and the streets are not long, only about a hundred meters, and then turn, branch, and then branch out into many small streets and alleys. Stalls can be set up in all the larger streets. There are no urban management officers walking around the streets.

In the recent jadeite market, the gold content of raw jadeite is higher than that seen in the border town of Yinnan Province. After all, some of the stones in the border town of Yinnan Province were also found in Mengong. Once again, good materials whose quality can be clearly judged will naturally enter the pockets of professional jade merchants first.

When she first arrived, Leyun was not familiar with the bargaining method. She would not discuss the business first, but secretly scouted the "enemy situation" and inferred the price that the vendors could afford from other people's sales negotiations, and based on this, she made decisions. For the bottom line of bargaining.

There are a lot of rough jadeite stones on Menggong Street, but they are not equivalent to cabbage prices. Whether it is a vendor or a businessman who specializes in the stone business, they also know what it means to adapt to society. Because there are many buyers, the price It is not low, but relatively speaking, it is a price acceptable to ordinary people. Because the stones near the production area are not listed on the public market and are pre-tax goods, the price in the market is naturally lower. The buyer has to pay for taking the stones out of the country. Taxes, transportation and other costs.

Le Yun figured out the unspoken rules of street trading before deciding to take action. She still only picked the rough stones with the brightest auras to start with. Those materials with slightly poor water quality or good water quality were good but had too many cracks. Anything more is excluded.

Only a hundred meters away, I bought a total of 20 pieces of materials from the stalls. The pieces were relatively small, the largest one only weighed more than ten kilograms. I could only buy a piece of 30 yuan from a shop. Many kilograms of stones, a piece of tree jade, a piece of ivory bone carving, and a tiger claw were also obtained, and a total of 210,000 yuan was thrown out.

It didn’t cost much to buy the stones. The main reason was that the jade tree cost nearly 40,000 yuan, and the tiger claws and ivory totaled 20,000 yuan. The owner of the goods actually couldn’t tell the truth from the fake, and it was half true and half false. and sold them.

We swept a section of the street to look for land.Fang excused himself to go to the toilet, moved some of the things in the box into the space, and continued shopping. Every time he visited a street, there was a small harvest. Either he harvested one or two pieces of eye-catching jadeite, or he picked up the teeth of rare animals. , claws, horns, and carvings carved from precious trees.

The happiest thing was a pot I picked up at a fruit stall. The pot was made of golden camphor tree.

Golden camphor, also called mountain balm, is a deciduous tree that grows in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. It takes fifty years to become useful. It has high hardness, is resistant to wear and tear, is not easily deformed, and is acid and alkali resistant, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant. .

Originally, the golden camphor wood was polished and oxidized by photosynthesis to turn golden, and it became more noble and dignified as time went by. However, it may have been because the basin had been in the hands of the owner for too long. , it has been soaked in water for many years, and has been blistered by smoke. The surface has become dull and gray, with a few small dents and gaps, and is very old.

The stall owner sold home-grown strawberries in gold camphorwood pots. Le Yun didn’t like the strawberries but the pots, so she spent 20 yuan on the strawberries, and then spent 500 yuan on them. The story of buying a basin for 1 yuan seems similar to the story of buying a casket for a pearl.

After finding an old wooden basin, in order to prevent the owner of the goods from regretting it, she carried the things and quietly walked away, sneaking to another alley to have fun alone.

If you are not afraid of comparing goods, you are afraid of not knowing the goods.

The material of the basin is more than 500 years old, which means it is made of gold camphor that is more than 500 years old. I don’t know how many generations it has been passed down in the basin owner’s family, but it has been completely changed beyond recognition.

After finding an ancient piece of art, Le Yun felt so beautiful that the sky was clear. She was as happy as a little pony. She happily shuttled through the streets and alleys, looking for stones and small items in the shops and stalls. , I wandered around the street corners that were originally residential areas. I didn’t know if I could find the spiritual objects hidden in my house. I didn’t know that I couldn’t find them in my lunch box. I found everything I could. I even went to the garbage dump in the area and picked up a few items that were used as gifts. Broken parts of daily necessities and scrap rocks thrown away.

She walked around all the districts in Mengong. She finished her work in the middle of the afternoon, dragged her suitcase back to the hotel, packed it up quickly, and carried her bag again. Drag your luggage and continue playing.

Going out to the streets for the second time, Le Xiao’s classmate once again walked around the streets. When the sun set, he walked out of the town and walked along a road leading to a village outside the town. When he reached the foot of an uninhabited mountain, he immediately hid in it. Sneaking back to the space in the woods, he took the little fox and little Huihui to take care of the crops first, and then he finished his personal chores, found things, and put on makeup for himself.

The little fox didn’t understand what the little human girl wanted to play, and wanted to sit and watch. However, the little human girl said she wanted to take a bath, so she covered his and the little black monkey’s eyes with a cloth, and poked them a few times. Let him turn into wood, and he can only hold a towel on his head and feel sad silently.

Clicked on the holes of the little fox and little HuihuiThe Tao made them unable to move. Leyun quickly took off her clothes and sat in a bucket of water to take a bath. She took a bath for about an hour. After taking a bath, her white and tender skin became very close to that of Southeast Asians. But it should be much whiter and tenderer, like the skin of a pampered person who never basks in the sun.

Transform the skin, put on clothes, apply skin-improving lotion on the face, neck, ears and other places again, and wash the hair to make the scalp, face, ears and other places consistent with the skin on the body.

When the skin changes to the ideal look, put a wig with waist-length hair on the top of your head, use special glue to stick the edges, and stick it firmly. Don’t say that you can’t get rid of your hair if you shake it. No matter who pulls and grabs her hair, the wig cannot be pulled off.

Having disguised herself to the best of her ability, Leyun happily loosened the blindfolds on the little fox and little Huihui’s eyes, unblocked their acupuncture points, and then tried to put pupils on herself.

Finally freed from being a wooden head, the little fox stretched and was about to complain that the little human girl was too unreasonable. When he saw a completely transformed girl in front of him, his golden pupils widened: "Little girl, are you crazy? Why have you made yourself so ugly?"

Little Huihui rolled his eyes in confusion. When he heard the little fox's fussy cry, he quickly looked towards the fox. Lord, when he saw an unfamiliar face, he screamed and jumped back a step, his eyes full of fear.

"You say I'm ugly?" Le Yun almost wanted to slap the little fox to death. She neatly closed her eyes and stretched out her paws to grab the mirror aside to see the fruits of her labor.

The face of a young woman was printed in the mirror, with long soft black hair shawl, eyebrows covering her forehead, big eyes, relatively white skin, no eyebrows or paint. Lipstick, but looks absolutely nothing to do with being ugly.

The little human girl was looking in the mirror. The little fox jumped on her shoulder, stretched out a little paw and pointed at the mirror: "The look in the mirror is so ugly. Look, these eyes are so ugly. It has become very big, has no aura at all, and is gray like the eyes of a half-dead fish. Look at the white skin, which is very white, but not smooth at all, and the hair looks black and shiny, but it doesn't even have any life at all. No, a pretty little beauty is forced to look like a lifeless rag doll. It's so annoying."

"Hmph, I'm happy with it, what's the matter?" Le Yun With a small chin, she heard the little fox say that she looked like a dead fish. She originally wanted to slap him to death, but because the little fox meant that she looked good-looking, she stopped hitting him.

“I can’t bear to look at it.” The little fox covered his eyes: “Little girl, you’d better go out early and make others look bad.”

“It’s time to go out. I will go out. I believe not many people will recognize me like this." Le Yun raised her eyes proudly, um um, the woman's hair has grown longerThe way she floats is quite interesting. Someone must want to track her. Even if they were face to face, they wouldn't be able to recognize who she is.

"To be honest, if I weren't someone who spends my time with you, I wouldn't be able to recognize you by looking at your ugly appearance. After you changed your make-up, your ugliness reached a new level. Of course, I can recognize it. Who told you that your smell has not changed much, and your voice has not changed much."

"I will take voice-changing pills later and change my voice slightly. As for the smell, I don't want to take messy pills. "She has medicine that can make her sweat smell bad or sour, but she doesn't want to take it. It's not necessary.

"Little girl, what do you want to do by looking like this? Is there anything big enough for you to make yourself ugly?"

"I'm going to make a fortune. , I don’t want people to remember my face, so I have to make myself become a stranger.”

“Little girl, don’t you want to rob someone’s house?” The little fox exaggeratedly flattered Xizi. Statement: "Oh my god, little girl, you are a beauty after all. Don't go astray. Robbing homes, killing people and setting fires are against morality and will damage your spiritual merits."

Stretching out her paws, Leyun grabbed the little fox on her shoulder and threw it away: "Damn it, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. You think so badly of me, you can go where you want to cool off."

Thrown away, the little fox rolled in the air, landed deftly, jumped up again, jumped on the little human girl, grabbed the little monkey, and jumped under the dragon blood tree after a few ups and downs. Climb up the tree nest and play in the hole of the tree with its tail wagging.

Little Huihui fell from the little fox’s paws and patted her chest. The fox fairy always pinched her at every turn. It was so scary.

Le Yun put aside the little fox and painted her eyebrows. She used special paint to paint her eyebrows in a suitable shade and long tail. She also curled her eyelashes upwards. After a long time, they were all done. I couldn't find any flaws, so I took a pill, some fruit for dinner, and then read a book.

When it’s past nine o’clock in the evening, I sneak out of the space and walk at night with a flashlight.

Myanmar is a tropical rainforest area with a high altitude and ample sunshine during the day. Due to the high forest coverage, it is not particularly hot, and the temperature at night is neither hot nor cool.

The night in Mengong is very quiet, and the city is even more peaceful. Night trains are rare, there are no cars, and there are no pedestrians. Leyun walks on the road alone with her short legs, shaking and shaking, from this part of the town He wandered to a road in the completely opposite direction, found a suitable hiding place, and climbed back into the space to sleep.

The next day, Mr. Le Xiao woke up very early, got up before dawn, packed up, ate some fruit to fill his stomach, found a space, dragged a luggage trailer with a large password box tied to it, and carried it on his back. A big bulging luggage bag slowly swayed towards Meng along the road into the city.Gong Town.

In the early morning, Meng Gong is like a peaceful girl, quiet and beautiful. Residents doing breakfast business get up early. The smell of food is already on the streets, and smoke is also wafting from some residents' homes.

The reformed Le Xiao classmate dragged his luggage into the town, found a breakfast shop to have breakfast, and calmly went to a parking lot specializing in sports cars to rent a car.

Little fairies, happy Lantern Festival, everyone remember to eat more glutinous rice balls!

　(Because it is the Tangyuan Festival, so a certain product is on the rise, and everything is on the rise~)
