Chapter 742 Going to the Mining Area

Wu Putun, who was reminded by Xu Youhai, ran quickly, but simply greeted Chu Chen and the others, and ran away like a frightened rabbit, which made everyone somewhat speechless.

Yi Hongguo shook his head, patted Zou Taiping on the shoulder and said, "Old Zou, it's better to deal less with this kind of people in the future. This time you are lucky to have Xiaochen's help, but next time you can still be like today." luck?"

Zou Taiping nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I have already found out that Wu Putun has some problems. The reason why I invited him to dinner this time is also to have a good time with him, but who would have known such bad luck?" , actually encountered such a thing.”

"Old Zou, since this is the case, why don't we cooperate?" Xu Youhai next to him said with a smile.

Chu Chen and others were quite surprised when they heard the words. Why did Xu Youhai suddenly want to do the timber business again.

Seeing other people looking at him in surprise, Xu Youhai said with a smile: "Don't look at me, except for the criminal business, we will get involved in other profitable businesses as long as it is suitable, and you don't know, old Zou The timber business in this area is big enough, and I suspected before that the reason why Di Lun wanted to make such a big fuss was probably because he took a fancy to your two industries."

What Xu Youhai said was possible, and Zou Taiping had actually thought about it, but he was a knife and I was a fish. Although he also managed some relationships in the local area, he would be caught blind when he met Lun. Not to mention putting in a good word for them.

Now that Xu Youhai wanted to partner with him, of course he was very willing, so after being polite, he quickly agreed and planned to have substantive negotiations between the two sides in these two days.

Soon, the group returned to the hotel, and it happened that Zou Taiping was also living here, so he and Chu Chen and others apologized, and then used the hotel phone to report to the family that they were safe.And Chu Chen also walked back to his room to pack his luggage, and picked up his mobile phone to make a call with Leng Shaming.

After Chu Chen finished the phone call and returned to the room to pack his luggage, he saw Zou Taiping walking in with a box.

Zou Taiping put the box in his hand in front of Chu Chen, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, this time is thanks to you, a small gift is not a respect!"

"Mr. Zou, you really don't need this, I..."

As soon as Chu Chen said this, Zou Taiping waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chu, if you think highly of me, just call me Lao Zou. I know you are looking at Mr. An's face, but you have done it for me. I spent so much energy on this matter, and recovered so much loss for me, I have to express it no matter what!"

"How embarrassing..." Chu Chen declined a few more times, seeing that the kindness could not be turned down, he accepted the gift brought by Zou Taiping.

"Mr. Chu, take a look first to see if this thing suits you."

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Zou Taiping also breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, the reason why he immediately gave Chu Chen a gift was not only really grateful, but also selfish.On the phone just now, An Gongshi told him Chu Chen's identity, which scared him enough at that time. He never thought that the kind-looking Chu Chen would have such a prominent identity.

However, after learning of Chu Chen's identity, Zou Taiping also felt a little nervous in his heart. He wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Chu Chen. The reason why he did this was because he wanted to rely on Chu Chen. To make a profit, he was really frightened by this incident. Before that, he even wanted to leave the business here and return to China immediately.

But he has also spent a lot of energy on the business here, and he must be reluctant to abandon it immediately. Even if he can partner with Xu Youhai now, he is a little uneasy, so he wants to get closer to Chu Chen. in case for need.

Chu Chen didn't know Zou Taiping's specific thoughts, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be offended. It's human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. If the two of them lose weight, his plan will definitely be the same as Zou Taiping's.

Chu Chen took the gift that Zou Taiping gave him, but it turned out to be an incense box.

The incense box refers to the container for holding incense. In ancient times, incense powder or incense chips were used to burn incense, so it must be stored in a box for use.It is also used as incense stick, incense combination, incense letter, and incense box.It is usually made of wood and painted, but also made of pottery and metal.

Today, some religious ceremonies still use the old way of burning incense, which is called "nianxiang", that is, sticking incense noodles with hands, instead of "shengxiang", because the incense is not incense.

Sandalwood incense box is made of sandalwood. Sandalwood is called "sandalwood" by Buddhists. It is known as "king of spices" and "green gold".It is taken from the woody heartwood (or its resin) of the sandalwood tree, a tree of the Sandalaceae family, the closer the material is to the heart and roots, the better.

It is often made into wood powder, wood strips, blocks, etc. or refined into sandalwood essential oil.The use of sandalwood to make incense has always been regarded as a treasure, but if the sandalwood is smoked and burned alone, the smell is not good.However, if it can be skillfully matched with other spices, it can "bring out the aroma to a very high level".

Speaking of sandalwood, some people think of agarwood. Although the fragrance of sandalwood is very strong in terms of the richness of the fragrance, the fragrance of agarwood at room temperature is far inferior to that of sandalwood, but the fragrance of sandalwood Single, the fragrance of agarwood is changeable and charming.Therefore, although the fragrance of sandalwood is stronger than that of agarwood, agarwood is still better than sandalwood.

Moreover, in the market, ordinary sandalwood is more common, such as rosewood, lobular red sandalwood, red sandalwood, black sandalwood, and green sandalwood.Although some top-quality sandalwood is very expensive, you can still see it.But agarwood is relatively rare compared with it.

Although sandalwood is not as good as agarwood, some top-quality sandalwood is quite rare, and this incense box is made of top-quality sandalwood.

I saw that the incense box is nearly square, and the lid and the body of the box are interlocked with each other.The cloud pattern is carved in the shade of the cover, and the cloud pattern is embossed as the ground around it.The cover surface is smooth, the abdomen is shallow, and the shape is small and neat.There is a circle of positive lines at the closed part of the upper and lower box lids, and a square bottom.It is a typical craftsmanship of the Qing Palace Building Office during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

The incense box was developed from the ancient incense tube and was used by the upper class to hold incense.This incense box is engraved with embossed cloud patterns all over the body, which not only has a decorative effect, but also implies a strong incense.The aroma of the best sandalwood and the aroma of the incense box incense noodles, the ancient rhyme is profound, the concept is ingenious, and it is gorgeous and not vulgar.

Seeing such an exquisitely crafted incense box, Chu Chen was also very happy. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Zou, what a waste of money. I like this incense box very much."

Seeing that Chu Chen was very satisfied, Zou Taiping quickly smiled and waved his hands and said, "Actually, I saw this incense box at a local farmer's house by accident. It didn't cost much at that time. Speaking of which, this The things are actually not very expensive, it’s really hard to get them out!”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Zou, don't be so polite, this sandalwood incense box is already very good, no matter how expensive it is, even if you dare to give it to me, I dare not accept it..."

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged courtesy, and saw Xu Youhai walking in from the door. He first smiled and thanked Zou Taiping for the gift he had given him, and then said to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chen, it's too late today." Well, we have to stay one more night and start tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Uncle Xu, you are a local. Of course, I will do what you say. But why do we suddenly have to stay for another night?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

Xu Youhai said helplessly: "It wasn't sudden, but I forgot in a hurry just now. The road here is not like your country. If you want to reach my mining area, you can't get there before dark, so we We can only leave tomorrow.”

After this journey, Chu Chen can be considered to have seen the road in Myanmar, how bad it is, so after hearing Xu Youhai's explanation, he was relieved.

In this way, everyone stayed in the hotel for another night. Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Zou Taiping, they got into the three off-road vehicles arranged by Xu Youhai and set off for the mining area controlled by Xu Youhai's family.

The tires of these three off-road vehicles are all very large, setting off the chassis of the vehicles very high, it seems that they have all been modified by passing the door.

At first, seeing the posture of these three vehicles, Chu Chen thought that Xu Youhai modified the cars to look like this on purpose, and it was not until he got out of close that he realized why the three off-road vehicles were modified in this way. The road here is so bad that it is unimaginable.

Originally, Chu Chen thought that Mijina, as an important town in the north of Myanmar, could not be worse than Yangon no matter how bad the roads were. He also thought yesterday that Xu Youhai’s mining area was too far away and the roads were poor, so he decided to Can't make it.

But when he got out of Mijinna, he could only smile wryly when he saw the road paved with only small stones, which is no longer seen in big cities in China.

And then, Chu Chen understood even more that this journey was too simple for him to think about before. Before he came out of Mijin, the road in front of him didn't even have gravel roads, it was completely lumpy. One high and one low, the people in the car danced up and down with the bumps of the car.

If it weren't for the steep mountains here, it was too unsafe, Chu Chen would rather take the old-fashioned helicopter like last time again.

"Bah!"

Because it rained last night, it was difficult to see the depth of the potholes on the road due to the accumulation of water. Therefore, when the car suddenly drove through a relatively deep pothole, the people in the car suddenly became tragic, especially Chu Chen. One didn't pay attention and hit his head directly on the roof of the car.

"Achen! Are you alright!" Zhao Qirui asked with concern, rubbing his painful shoulder.

Chu Chen shook his head: "It's not a big problem! I said, Uncle Xu, since this is the main production area of ​​the emerald mine, why don't you improve the road a little bit! It's really a pain to go in and out like this!"

"There's nothing you can do about it. Who told the government to be poor!" Xu Youhai said with a wry smile.
