Chapter 224 Old Beeswax (690

Saying goodbye to Jiang Yanrong and his party, Li Yi continued to walk down. He was no longer going to the Royal Lake. At this moment, he was like a child who had just gotten a favorite toy and was not satisfied yet!

Using perspective to bet on raw stones and dices is completely different. The latter is to grab money from other people's pockets, so it needs to be controlled. However, betting on raw stones is a fair transaction that you and I want to do. The same raw stones are about the same price, and they will also be sold to others if they are not sold to him. He really can't think of a reason not to take action. What's more, his superpowers are still so hidden?

Compared with the two, although they are both the same repetitive activities, they bring him completely different feelings. He knew that he would win before gambling dice, but whether it was gambling gems or gambling wool materials, the huge sense of expectation and accomplishment was not something that anyone could refuse!

What's more, although both of them are also called gambling, the former will be criticized by everyone, while the latter is a normal business activity. It is clear at a glance which one is higher and which one is inferior!

Jiang Yanrong and the others left, but did not take away the wood carving of the Medicine Buddha. Li Yi used a spirit-recording card to identify it and found that the Buddha statue was actually a work from the Burmese tribute dynasty of King Bo Dao in the early 17th century. Moreover, the engraver's knife was indeed very distinctive, so he paid for it and bought it directly.

Myanmar is one of the five major gemstone producers in the world. 95% of the world's jade is produced in Myanmar, and 90% of these jades are sold to China.

In addition to rare rubies and sapphires, Myanmar also produces red and blue spinels and colored spinels, zircons, tourmalines, amethyst, aquamarine, moonstones and the world's largest peridot, etc. The total variety of gems is more than 50!

These gems can be basically seen at stalls here, and the probability of counterfeit goods is very low, but the quality and quality are relatively low, and the cutting process seems more casual.

Because these gems and semi-precious stones are of relatively low value, Li Yi was not interested, so he basically didn't look at them much. Therefore, many stalls passed by in a hurry until he saw a bunch of old beeswax stones that he stopped.

There are generally two external manifestations of beeswax rough stones. The most common one is the so-called rough stone that looks heavy on the surface and has a bright color. In fact, in a strict sense, this rough stone should be called unprocessed beeswax because it has been initially processed and has been removed from the outermost layer of skin.

When you look at the real old beeswax roughly, it is actually not much different from the stone. Moreover, no matter what color the beeswax is, the surface of the raw stone is almost gray-white or gray-brown. In addition, other colors are very rare. If you see it, you must be careful to identify it.

Most of the small pile of raw stones in front of Li Yi have grayish-white outer skin, and the particles are very small, and the largest one is not more than five centimeters. If raw stones of this size are then processed through shelling, shape modification and other processing methods, the beeswax taken out is generally less than five grams, which is not too precious.

But when Li Yi saw the beeswax stone, he remembered the magical ambergris. Therefore, he picked a few larger pieces and prepared to see through them one by one. If he encountered a good quality, he would buy one to play with.

Beeswax is a type of amber, specifically refers to amber with honey and waxy texture.

The most common beeswax is yellow beeswax produced in the Baltic Sea and Nordic Europe. This beeswax is relatively single in color, generally only yellow, and some are even translucent. Its history is mostly between four or five million years, and its price is relatively cheap.

The truly rare beeswax is generally produced in the Middle East, such as Iran, Afghanistan and other places. In addition, Myanmar, Pakistan and Africa are also produced.

Because the buried geology contains different minerals, the beeswax produced in these places has many colors. Basically, yellow, red, blue, blue, white, red, black, purple, green, and orange are all available in the common colors of the universe. Of course, because the true color of resin is yellow, yellow beeswax is the most common.

These rare beeswaxes usually have been formed in more than 40 to 50 million years, and even more than 100 million years. This is the origin of the name old beeswax.

Now Li Yi is holding a truly rare sky-blue old beeswax rough stone. When he looked in through the appearance of the brown-gray rough stone, he instantly came to a blue world. That world was as clean, pure and beautiful as the shallow seabed under the sunlight!

After careful observation, I found that there were indeed no flaws. From the size he saw now, he should be able to get about eight grams of old beeswax. Although the shape is not regular, if it is carved along the way, there should be no big loss.

“老板,这块多少钱?”

The boss took the rough stone in his hand and looked at it, gave him a thumbs up, and handed him the calculator.

“28000,软妹币!”

Li Yi did not have any luck with the price of this raw stone. Because like wool, the beeswax raw stone can be judged by the strong light flashlight. Moreover, the quality of the beeswax can also be seen through some characteristics of the surface of the raw stone. This piece is relatively large, and the boss must have looked at it carefully.

But the price in the end was so high, which really surprised him.

In China, the old beeswax in Myanmar has been very hot in recent years, with a very small number of rare products even tens of thousands of gram per gram. But they are all finished products, and the quality seems to be slightly better than this one.

The actual value of this raw stone should be around 8,000 to 10,000 yuan.

After thinking about it, Li Yi directly gave the boss a price of only five, and then handed the calculator back to the boss.

“不,不,这个价格不可能……”

The boss pressed a number on the calculator again, and the two of them went back and forth for three or four rounds. In the end, Li Yi spent 10,000 yuan to buy the raw stone.

As the sky got darker, Li Yi finally finished visiting all the stall areas. In the bag in his hand, not only were there two pieces of ice-type wool as big as an egg, an elephant wood carving with a nose and hooves, and two light yellow erectile umbrellas on his hand. This thing is indeed unique. Even if he doesn't need it, it's good to go back to Yanjing to give it away.

The Great Golden Tower at sunset is extremely beautiful. The weak and powerless light of the sunset shines on the golden foil that is almost covered with the top of the tower, emitting a golden halo as majestic as clouds in the sky, just like the Buddha light of compassionate things.

In the halo, thousands of gems are like stars, emitting dazzling flashes from time to time. Combined with the crisp sound of bells brought by the breeze, it is a magnificent picture of treasure!

Compared with the tourists who were stunned, Li Yi felt more deeply. He had never understood why the Spirit-Secret Card showed the phantom of the real object while giving the identification results, but now... he gave a deep attention to the Great Golden Tower, thank you, Great Golden Tower!

When I returned to the hotel, it happened to be dinner time, and there was no one in Zhong Huan and the others' room. Li Yi put down his things, thought about it, and decided to go to the street to eat a delicious meal to reward himself.

The most famous food in Myanmar should be tea salads, followed by Shan-style rice, Burmese curry rice, Shan-men tofu noodles and some fried snacks. The online reviews are also pretty good.

The method of making tea salad is actually relatively simple. It is to mix the processed tea leaves and torn into slices of cabbage, sliced ​​tomatoes, fried crispy beans, nuts, and peas by hand, then sprinkle with garlic oil, add chopped chili and garlic, and it will be successful.

Li Yi originally had no love for curry rice, so he initially planned to try the Shan-style rice first, but after reading the introduction online, he decided to try the Myanmar curry rice first.

Myanmar curry rice is completely different from the curry rice that Li Yi saw in China. It is not the simple curry rice that ordinary people understand.

Myanmar curry rice is very complicated, including rice, pie salad, a small dish of fried vegetables, a small bowl of soup, a large plate of fresh half-cooked vegetables and herbs, and there are as many kinds of dipping sauce as just ingredients.

Of course, there are some meats such as curry, pork, fish, etc.

Li Yi found a street restaurant that looked clean and had more tourists, ordered a tea salad, a curry rice, and had a delicious meal. He got up and came to the streets of Yangon where night fell.

Walking all the way, I walked to a place that was about two or three hundred meters away from the hotel. Under the dim street lights, Li Yi suddenly saw a scene that made him angry.

It was a seven or eight-year-old girl and three well-dressed men. The girl was carrying a basket on her back and holding a stone-like thing in her hand, stopping the three men who were talking happily.

The little girl's actions reminded Li Yi of the children selling flowers on the streets of China. However, this girl sold stones? No, she should be selling wool materials!

It really has Burmese characteristics!

However, the next scene happened that made him extremely angry. The three men saw someone blocking the road. One of them was very impatient and shouted at the girl, while the other walked forward and pushed the girl hard!

The little girl was carrying a big backpack on her backpack. When the man pushed her, she couldn't control her body at that time. She leaned back and fell heavily to the ground. Then she was padded by the backpack. She bounced slightly and fell to the ground. Her little neck was uncontrollably swung, and a corner of her forehead hit the ground heavily!

"stop!"

For a moment, Li Yi was filled with righteous indignation and rushed forward to stop the three men who were about to slip away.

"Apology! Pay compensation!"

Li Yi pulled the girl up, looked at her forehead, and felt relieved. Although there was a big red bag there and there was a trace of blood oozing out from the top, it should not be very serious.

“¤×○◇…”
