So, now this place is really different from what she imagined. There are not too many people, but it is not developing as fast as those cities in the south.
She had no choice but to ask as she walked, trying to find a slightly better hotel so that she would have a place to rest.
Just when she thought she was really going to sleep on the streets, she finally found a pretty good hotel before dark.
She walked into the hotel and completed the check-in procedures using her newly obtained temporary ID card.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she closed the door of the hotel room.
The hotel looks nice from the outside and looks very new. The rooms inside are also acceptable. After all, it is not cheap. In this day and age, fifty dollars a day is not cheap, but the living environment is much better than those special recruitment centers.
At the very least, the hotel rooms are very large, with separate bathrooms, and the quilts and other items are all clean.
She took out the clothes from the ring and went into the bathroom. She had spent two days and two nights on the train, and her clothes were sore.
When she came out of the shower, she had changed into another set of clothes.
It was already dark outside, and I wondered if there was any food left. Liu Jing hadn't eaten since she was busy looking for a hotel, and her stomach was growling.
What she misses most now is probably the high-information age in the future.
As long as she has a mobile phone, she doesn't need to bring a wallet or anything else. What she misses most is the future industry called takeout.
But there is no takeout now, and no food is delivered to the door.
She sat on the bed in the hotel, picked up the bedside phone, called the front desk, and asked the hotel staff if there was anything to eat here.
Yes, they do have it, but it’s a bit expensive. They have noodles and rice noodles.
Liu Liang ordered a bowl of noodles. Not long after, someone knocked on the door and brought her a bowl of noodles.
When Liu Liang looked at the big bowl of noodles in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
As expected, people in this era are too honest. She might not be able to finish such a big bowl in three meals.
She turned on the TV and sat in front of it with a bowl in her arms, watching TV while eating noodles. There was a unique atmosphere of this era, such as TV dramas, noodles, and the "My Fair Princess" which was popular all over the country at that time.
As she watched, she began to cry.
I will be fine in this life, she touched the ring hanging around her neck, I will be fine, live a few more years, and you will be fine too, right?
There was no TV to watch anymore, and I never finished my noodles.
The wind blowing in from the window has a cool warmth, but also a slight coolness.
The next morning, after Liu Liang found out where she was going, she checked out of the hotel and took a taxi to her destination.
"The little girl is going to block the rocks, right?"
The driver looked like a talkative person. As soon as he heard where Liu Liang was going, he knew what she was going to do.
No, it’s not what Liu Liang wants to do, but people who go to that place are all there to gamble on stones, and they also want to know what it means to become poor with one cut and rich with another.
"I'm going there to broaden my horizons." Liu Jing said embarrassedly. In fact, it was her first time there and she knew nothing.
"Would you like me to take you to a master craftsman? He's a pretty good businessman, honest and trustworthy, and he has a lot of good materials. If you're lucky, you might even win the bet."
It’s really hard to say about this jade gambling.
The driver had seen it before: one cut could make millions or tens of millions, but the next cut would make it completely worthless. Of course, he had also seen people betting their entire fortune on a piece of stone.
If you win the bet, you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life. If you lose the bet, your family may be destroyed.
Everyone wants to get rich overnight, but not everyone can do it. In addition to having the necessary vision, one also needs to have extremely good luck. However, those who get rich overnight are rare. For most people, it is better to gamble a little for fun. Big gambling will really hurt people and money.
"Then uncle, I'll trouble you."
Liu Liang didn't know whether what the driver said was true or false, but it didn't matter. She had never thought of buying other people's expensive materials anyway, and she couldn't afford it. She took out all the money in the family. After she used the money she earned from selling cloth flowers to buy two houses, she had less than 100,000 yuan left. She was really the kind of person the driver said, who gambled all her belongings.
"Okay," the driver drove the car very fast since there were not many cars on the road anyway.
After driving for about half an hour, the car finally stopped. Of course, the road was bumpy, and Liu Liang even had problems because of the driver.
Liu Liang took out her wallet and gave the fare to the driver. The driver stopped the car and took Liu Liang to the gambling stone shop.
There are gambling stone shops of all sizes everywhere here, and this is one of them.
"His last name is Hou, you can just call him Old Monkey."
The driver pointed at a thin man in his fifties and said to Liu Liang, then shouted loudly to the old man.
"Old Monkey, I brought a little girl here to play with you. Don't show her those expensive things of yours."
"Got it," the old monkey waved his hand, "Go back to your business, there's no need for you to waste words. I'm not the kind of old monkey who would confuse a little kid."
The little kid? Liu Liang was already stunned by the stones.
"Ever gambled on stones?"
The old monkey asked Liu Liang.
Liu Jing shook her head and said, "I've never gambled on it, I've only heard of it." She had never even seen it herself. Of course, she had never worn jade in her previous life. However, Tao Yue had a set of jade jewelry, which was said to be very expensive, and Xu Jiajia also had a jade bracelet, which also made her the center of attention at the time.
Jade is beautiful, but Liu Jing still prefers its value.
"Come with me."
The old monkey took Liu Liang to a place in the east and pointed at the stones there and said.
"These are cheap materials, ranging from a few dozen to a few thousand yuan. Just pick a few to play with."
"good."
Liu Jing really didn't want to buy other people's expensive stones, but it was okay to use these small ones to practice.
It was early in the morning and there weren't many people around, so there wasn't anyone here except Liu Liang, who was holding this stone and touching that one. It was obvious that she was a rookie, as she didn't even have any tools.
At the very least, you need a flashlight.
But she was lucky, she didn't bring anything with her.
The old monkey sighed. Regarding Liu Jing's method of picking up raw stones, he could do nothing but sigh.
A rookie is a rookie, he just needs to be watched for a while. As for the things that are too expensive and brought by Old Joe, he will have to take care of them, otherwise how can Old Joe take care of his business in the future.
