Chapter 713

Enter from the door, the left side is the place where the shoes are stored, Chu Chen and others follow the tips, take off the shoes, and then go in.

When you enter the temple, you can see many small pagodas around the big gold pagoda. These pagodas are not the same. They have their own characteristics and colors. Some of them are stupas, some of them are Buddhist halls, which offer many Buddha statues, just like Chinese temples.

In addition, the Buddha statues inside are also different, some are sitting, some are lying, some are looking down, the images are different, each has its own posture and expression.

There are different Bodhisattvas beside the golden pagoda. Zhang Yanbin also introduced that everyone can find the corresponding Bodhisattvas according to their birthday.

The Great Gold pagoda is a sacred place in Myanmar. So many people come to worship every day. When Chu Chen and others came in, there were many people kneeling on the surrounding ground and worshipping the golden pagoda. In addition, people here do not burn incense, but chant sutras or count beads.

After a tour around the gold pagoda, everyone felt very quiet when they walked out of the gold pagoda from the exit. Even Dong pangzi, who had been shouting hot, felt that he was much cooler than before.

Shopping is indispensable for tourism. As a tourist destination, there are many vendors outside the golden pagoda. Many vendors have set up stalls on the surrounding ground.

As Myanmar is rich in jadeite, many of these stalls are selling jadeite products, and some stalls sell fragrant wood flour, handicrafts and Myanmar snacks, which can be said to be full of goods.

However, the things sold on the stall are generally not particularly precious. After all, people are not stupid and are unlikely to sell the real good things here. Of course, like in China, it is possible to make eye contact here, but it is rare.

After dozens of stalls, the harvest is very few, but since it's a game, we don't care much about it. We are still in high spirits.

Just stop and go like this. Before we had a good time, we found that we were going to the end of these stalls.

Zhang Yanbin looked at the time and said, "it's not too early. Let's go for dinner. Today, I'll take you to a local restaurant to taste Myanmar's special food. You're all full of praise."

It's said that there's something delicious. Dong Pang's mouth almost drips down. He urges everyone to go quickly.

However, at this time, Chu Chen was attracted by the things on a stall in front of him. He quickly stepped forward, holding the thing that attracted him, and carefully observed it.

Liu Sizhe and others saw Chu Chen holding a box and observing it carefully. They thought they had found something good, so they rushed to it. However, when they saw it, they found that the box looked very new and should not be an antique, which made them feel very strange. They didn't understand how Chu Chen could take a fancy to such a thing.

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't be aimless, because the shape of the box in front of him was actually the same as that described in his notes. The difference is that the box in front of him should have been made recently. It also means that the maker of this box is probably made in the form recorded in the notes.

Well, the original of the box is probably still in the hands of the maker. How could Chu Chen not be excited?

"This..." As soon as Chu Chen began to ask, he realized that the other party might not understand Chinese, so he decided to ask Zuo Shan, who is proficient in Burmese, to help translate.

"Don't bother, sir. I'm Chinese." The stall owner said with a smile, speaking not very fluent Chinese.

For historical reasons, there are not many ethnic Chinese in Myanmar. Therefore, Chu Chen was not surprised, but was very happy, because in this way, he could ask more clearly.

Therefore, he said with some exclamation: "the workmanship of this box is excellent, and some of the above crafts have been lost in China now. Boss, I wonder if you can tell me who made this box?"

The stall owner scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "this thing is actually made by my grandfather, but his level is not as high as you said, just drawing on the gourd."

"It's really hard to find a place to break the iron shoes. It's not a waste of time!"

"Even so, judging from the workmanship of this box, the old man's craftsmanship is superb."

Chu Chen was a little excited and praised him. Then he said, "boss, I'm very interested in the style of this box. I don't know. Can I enjoy the original?"

"Do you want to buy it, sir?" The stall owner asked after hearing the speech.

Chuchen said with a smile, "I haven't seen the original, so I'm not sure. If it's complete, I'll definitely buy it."

The stall owner said: "that box is complete, but it's an antique. The price must be higher."

"If it's an antique, it's even better. I'll buy it and put it at home, which will make me look proud."

Chuchen laughs: "as for the price, it's easy for us to discuss. Anyway, it won't make you feel at a loss."

The stall owner was also very happy when he saw Chu Chen's statement, but after a while, he seemed embarrassed and said, "this boss, I live far away from home. It takes several days to go back and forth. I don't know you can't wait for me?"Chu Chen frowned at the news. He thought the stall owner lived in the local area. Now, obviously, he had to wait. Otherwise, when it comes to getting it from his home, it's strange that other people don't think it's a problem!

Therefore, he could only suppress some anxious emotion in his heart and said, "I'm here to participate in the jadeite market, and I have to go back to China in a few days. When the market is over, will you have time?"

"In time, in time!" The stall owner nodded.

Chu Chen said, "well, here are my phone number and hotel room number. If you arrive, you can go to my room to find me or call me."

Then he took out his business card, wrote down the name of the hotel and room number, and handed it to the stall owner.

The stall owner took the business card and said, "this You have to ask for money to make a phone call! "

Chu Chen didn't feel that the stall owner was being stingy. After all, his mobile phone is a domestic number. A phone call may be a little expensive for the stall owner, so he said with a smile:

"don't worry, I will be able to pay for the cost of the phone call or your round-trip fare at that time Well, I'm not sincere enough to just say it. I'll buy you something first! That's it. How much is it? "

What Chu Chen said is a jade crab ornament. Its surface is yellow and looks rusty. It seems that it has been buried in the soil for a long time. It doesn't look impressive.

When the stall owner saw the crab ornaments in chuchen's hand, he said with a smile, "it's five meters."

At that time, five meter yuan was equivalent to more than 40 RMB. For Chu Chen, it was a trifle, and he paid very freely.

Seeing that Chu Chen was so happy, the stall owner also said with a smile, "boss Chu, don't worry, I will come to you then."

Chuchen nodded with a smile, then left with Liu Sizhe.

After walking for a while, Zhang Yanbin quickly asked: "little Chu, is that crab something else?"

Chu Chen smell speech, some strange ask a way: "how can you think so?"

Zhang Yanbin said with a smile: "ha ha, who are you? How can you do anything aimless? I think that box is also an excuse?"

"What if the stall owner brings the box?" Dong asked.

Zhang Yanbin said with a smile: "buy it, anyway, it should not be worth much money! What's more, if it's a good product, won't Xiao Chu make another profit? "

"Brother Chen, is this crab really different?" Liu Sizhe looks at the crab in chuchen's hand, some doubts.

"I guess brother Zhang right. Look here!" Then Chu Chen turned the crab over and pointed to a place on the crab's stomach.

"Well? Is there a word in it? "

"It's like Zigang!" Liu Sizhe said in shock.

Dong pangzi was surprised and said, "no, how could this crab be carved by Lu Zigang? Besides, has Lu Zigang ever carved crabs? "

Liu Sizhe said in silence: "you are not nonsense. Why can't Lu Zigang carve crabs? I've heard a story about Lu Zigang carving crabs..."

It is said that there was a vassal king in Ming Dynasty who was extremely clever but cruel. Local officials could not help him. He also has a hobby. He loves jade. He not only collects excellent products from all over the world, but also raises a lot of jade workers to buy beautiful jade carvings by himself.

One year, the vassal received a large piece of valuable mountain materials, and no one in the house dared to start jade work. Some people said that Wumen jade work was the best in the world, so they had better go to Gusu and invite famous workers to treat them! The vassal king thought it was reasonable, so he ordered Gusu mansion to recommend the best jade workers.

At that time, the number one jade worker in Gusu was Lu Zigang, and the number two was Wang Xiaoxi. These two people have high skill and spirit. In contrast, Lu Zigang is more temperamental and has a quirk. No matter whether the master wants to or not, all the jade he controls must be famous.

Wang Xiaoxi has six fingers in his right hand. Most people's sixth fingers are branch fingers, but his six fingers are extremely flexible. Because of this, Wang Xiaoxi's sculptors are famous for their complicated and exquisite craftsmanship.

Lu and Wang never agree with each other. They always fight with each other. As soon as they hear that the vassal king wants to recruit the first jade craftsman of the Wu clan, if they win the election, they will take the first place. Naturally, they will all go.

The two men had a fierce fight, and the Gusu magistrate was hard to decide for a moment. At this time, Wang Xiaoxi said, "since we are in a stalemate, let's have a fight. We each spend one day carving a small piece. Please let's discuss whose skill is better. If Lu Zigang wins, I will lose kundao to him. If I win, Lu Zigang can't compete with me any more. "

It turned out that although Wang Xiaoxi knew that his skill was inferior to that of Lu Zigang, he had a jade carving treasure, namely the kundao, which is said to be made from the head of the ancient kunjian and can sell jade like mud.

Although Lu Zigang's skill is slightly better than Wang Xiaoxi's, the final polishing of jade is to be done with emery, which takes a lot of time and can't be done in one day. Because Wang Xiaoxi has a jade knife, which saves the time of polishing, he can certainly carve more exquisite jade than Lu Zigang in one day. It is precisely because he has determined this that he dares to compete with Lu Zigang.

Lu Zigang had seen this kundao before. After hearing Wang Xiaoxi's offer, he agreed to it even if he didn't want to. When Wang Xiaoxi saw that he had agreed, he was very proud and felt that he had the chance to win
