Chapter 049 Chapter 49

It's a new week again. Except for the weekend when I unexpectedly entered the store owned by the owner Lu Chen, their daily life was very peaceful.

In the middle of the week, Ah Yan received news from the jade shop in Antique Street that the ring faces, bracelets, and jade pendants that she had custom-made in Boss Xu's shop last month using the jade she had picked up from Yizhi were all ready.

Almost a whole month has passed. During this period, Ayan has communicated with the master in Boss Xu's jade shop several times about the design drawings and each step. Now the finished product is finally out!

Although she only had the new jewelry for herself and Juejue, she was still very excited because she had been looking forward to it for a long time and it was something she got for free.

In order to try on things, she deliberately wore traditional Chinese style clothes today. The top was a cross-collared long-sleeved top, and the bottom was a pleated skirt. Her hair was simply decorated with hairpins and paper flowers. She looked elegant and gentle, which complemented the classical buildings in the antique street.

A Yan and Zhu Jue went to Uncle Pan's place first, and then stopped by Boss Tu's shop to say hello and see if there were any new products. As a result, they were kept by Boss Tu.

"Xiaoyan Xiaozhu, come on, don't leave, chat with me for a while."

Maybe there are usually not many young people in this Feng Shui shop, so when he saw two young men passing by, Boss Tu felt that he had finally caught someone.

There was nothing to do for the two of us, and there was no rush to get anything, so we just stayed and had a cup of tea.

"You two don't know." Boss Tu was beaming with joy.

"Old Xu made a fortune last month! A fortune!"

"Ever since you guys came, that handsome guy started selling the imperial green and chicken oil yellow ones. For the past month, Old Xu's store has been packed with people from the morning opening to the evening closing time."

"Especially during the National Day, many young people come here to check in. They don't know anything and just pick a stone to open, just for the experience."

"What do you think of Old Xu's luck? He bought truckloads of raw materials, but the top-grade jade was snatched up by others. However, Xu's Jade Shop has become famous. There are more than one jade shops on the street. There was a queue outside the door during the National Day holiday."

"I see what you young people are playing with. If you search Bincheng Antique Street, you will find that Xu's Jade Shop is a must-visit place."

Boss Tu said with envy that comparison is the thief of joy, but the natures of the two stores are inherently different, and his business can only serve the insiders or local tycoons.

Ah Yan and Zhu Jue were stunned by what he said, it was so exaggerated, but to be honest, although Boss Xu lost the imperial green and chicken oil yellow, he gained long-term benefits.

Jadeite worth hundreds of millions has been sold, and this is the best sign of Boss Xu's store. Boss Xu must have made a fortune this month, and he is making a fortune quietly, with a steady stream of money coming in every day.

This is the real way to drink soup from a big bowl! Ah Yan was envious, but he was already very satisfied.

"I haven't seen that handsome guy since then. I guess he has left Bincheng a long time ago. Maybe he has even gone abroad and is hiding for a while before coming back." Boss Tu said.

Ah Yan thought to himself, not only is she not a handsome guy, but she has also stayed in Bincheng.

But Ah Yan was also deeply impressed in his heart that Yi Zhi was really very determined.

She made 100 million in one day, which obviously meant that she had the ability to detect raw materials. With this ability, she could definitely continue to make money.

Even if she acted cautiously, she could have gone to other jade shops to buy jadeite. If she didn't get the best quality jadeite, the icy and glutinous jadeite would have been particularly eye-catching. If it were someone else, they would have been able to make a lot of money by going around the country's gambling sites.

Yi Zhi has both fighting skills and superb disguise skills, but he stopped this time.

Although one hundred million is an unattainable number for most people in the world, everyone is greedy, and it is so rare to be able to curb one's greed in time.

Especially since A Yan probably guessed that Yi Zhi had been busy selling fruits recently, running around non-stop every day. Although the high-end fruits must be very profitable, compared to the huge profits from gambling on stones and jade, it was nothing but a drizzle.

Yi Zhi chose to earn this hard-earned money honestly instead of continuing to gamble on stones to get rich.

He exercises every morning regardless of rain or shine, has a determined heart that controls his greed, and is down-to-earth and hardworking. Even if we put aside Yi Zhi's identity as a doomsday supernatural being, Ah Yan sincerely admires his roommate.

cool girl!

Boss Tu gossiped about what bargains there were recently in the antique street, and how there were so many people during the National Day holiday that the deceived tourists got into a fight with the stall owners...

Ah Yan and Zhu Jue were drinking tea and eating snacks while listening to some gossip. When they were talking about a certain store that got ripped off when it received something, Boss Tu suddenly received a phone call and got up in a hurry.

"Well, you two help me watch the store for a while. I have to go out for a while. If there are customers coming, please sit down and wait for a while. They are all regular customers."

Boss Tu left in a hurry with his cell phone, and no one knew where he was going. A Yan and Zhu Jue looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Come to think of it, this is only the second time we've met Boss Tu. He seems to trust us too much." Ah Yan's mouth twitched.

How did she suddenly become a shop girl?

Zhu Jue smiled and said, "Because we are good people."

Perhaps he felt so relieved because she looked so non-threatening and not like someone in the same industry.

The things in Boss Tu's shop include various Feng Shui charms, copper coin swords, peach wood swords, Taishan stones and so on. Although there are not many things, the total price is probably quite high.

The tea in front of them had lost its flavor after drinking more than ten cups. It was almost noon now, and they didn't know when Boss Tu would come back. Ah Yan and Zhu Jue sat in front of the tea table and watched the delivery.

"Lemon tea with less ice! Well, I'm afraid the meal will taste bad, so let's order a dessert, such as pepper and salt crispy egg yolk crispy or something like that. If you can't finish it, you can give it to Boss Tu as a snack." A Yan received the coupon and placed the order in one go.

The items she ordered were all from stores near the Antique Street, and they were delivered to her soon after.

There were only two people in the store. Ah Yan and Zhu Jue put their heads together and whispered, "I feel like Ye Ping'an seems to be watching me secretly recently." Zhu Jue frowned slightly.

But Zhu Jue couldn't understand why Ye Ping'an's eyes were always on him recently.

Zhu Jue was covering the cup of lemon tea with both hands. Ah Yan liked lemon tea. It was not tasty at room temperature, and it was still a little cold without ice, which could cause stomach discomfort. Every time, he would either calculate the time and buy it in advance, or measure the temperature manually and give it to her when it was half cool.

Ah Yan was holding his face with his hands, thinking, but he couldn't figure it out.

"The snacks are all with me. He shouldn't be able to find anything."

Ah Yan frowned, "Is there something going on in the dormitory? Is it that Ye Ping'an wants to say something but is too embarrassed to do so?"

It seems that he has a good living habit and doesn't have the habit of talking in his sleep, so it shouldn't be this kind of thing.

Zhu Jue shook his head: "Neither did he."

He gets along well with the five boys in the dormitory, and is relatively closer to Xiao Qingnang and Lin Fan.

Mr. Xiao was very diligent in class. The two were in the same major and class, and they attended class together every day. Sometimes he would borrow notes from Xiao Qingnang, and the other's handwriting was quite beautiful.

As for Lin Fan, they both had a partner. Coming from a military background, Lin Fan had no experience in love and marriage. He was a straight man and often came to Zhu Jue for advice. Together, they would discuss how to please their partners.

Ever since the last misunderstanding with Chu Shen ended, and with the presence of Dan Chaofan, Zhu Jue and Chu Shen have a good relationship. As for Yuan Ye, although no one knows what he was thinking about at the comic convention last time, the other party would occasionally look at him with strange eyes.

To be honest, Zhu Jue and Ye Ping'an only walked together occasionally except in the dormitory.

And because the other party wanted to broadcast live, Zhu Jue took the initiative to avoid disturbing them every time.

Therefore, A Yan and Zhu Jue were a little confused as to why Ye Ping'an would target him.

"Forget it. If soldiers come, soldiers will stop them; if water comes, earthen forts will be built. There is no conflict, so it's not a big deal after all. Maybe he will take the initiative to tell him one day." A Yan said.

Zhu Jue nodded. Since he couldn't think of any reason, this was the only possible answer.

After Zhu Jue accurately measured the temperature manually, A Yan waited for a while and drank the lemon tea at the right temperature.

Looking around the shop was boring. After looking at the things in Boss Tu's shop three times, the two of them didn't dare to touch anything, for fear that some feng shui would be accidentally destroyed. Boss Tu didn't reply, so Yan checked his phone and connected to the shop's wifi. He was very surprised.

"Kaka posted two new videos!"

Yes, another two weeks have passed and the travel card has been updated again!

【Travel Kaka】: 【Looking for Haji Tala in Inner Mongolia, I accidentally walked into a traditional Mongolian wedding. Am I the speechmaker?】

"This is where Kaka went last week." A Yan blinked. She thought Kaka would distribute the previous stock.

Since Kaka updated, it means she should have finished another trip and went home to do some editing or something.

A Mongolian wedding? Kaka was the speaker? Ah Yan couldn't wait to see what was going on.

It is still the opening CG of the cute little man, taking different means of transportation to the destination, but in the last leg it becomes the little man Kaka riding a jeep on the grassland.

The grassland is too large, and one pastoral area is hundreds of miles apart from another. This time, Kaka's destination is a very remote one - "Hajitala".

Tara means grassland in Mongolian, and it is also a very common place name. There are various "Tara" everywhere, which made Kaka's journey extra difficult.

When people mention XX Tara, they will often point out the Tara near them, and they will try to find a car, take a ride, or hitchhike, constantly getting closer to the location of "Haji Tara" on the map.

The map at the bottom of the video shows a constantly overlapping array of miniature people's vehicles. Although Kaka meets a lot of good people, the journey to his final destination is not smooth.

When Kaka first arrived in a right banner, the local area was developed and life was convenient, but on the grassland in mid-October, the mood of God was really unpredictable.

There were blue skies and white clouds one second and heavy rain the next. Along with the yellow grass and red leaves in autumn, the scenery was beautiful. The autumn on the prairie has a unique view.

Kaka was delayed for two days by bad weather on his way to Haji Tala. When he asked many people about this unknown and unnamed Tala destination, everyone just shook their heads and had no idea. The video fully records Kaka's frustration.

You can see that the mood value on the personal attribute in the lower left corner shows that Kaka is a little depressed.

"The grassland is too big. Even if there are locals, it is too difficult to find them, let alone Kaka. I see some old people can only speak Mongolian." A Yan smacked his lips as he watched the video.

It's very emo to think about a person who is unfamiliar with the place, can't find the place, and the weather is not good.

This is because Kaka has a special traveling little man system. If it were someone else, they would have given up and gone home long ago.

"The grassland in autumn is also nice. We can drive there by ourselves in the future. It would be best if we could hire a local private tour group." Zhu Jue had other concerns.

The two continued to look down. After Kaka was forced to stay for two days due to weather reasons, the third day was finally a sunny day.

The blue sky and large white clouds recorded by the high-flying drone have the texture of an oil painting.

Kaka was a girl from another place and she couldn't speak Mongolian. Although she learned a few simple phrases such as "Hello, thank you, goodbye, how much?", her face and accent that were obviously not from the local area attracted a lot of attention in the local area.

Especially since she stayed there for two days, she immediately became the focus of attention of the people in the small town.

In the video, the boss of the local household where Kaka lives was making phone calls to help her inquire about "Hajitala", and the locals took the initiative to visit her and talk to her.

On rainy days, she drank hot salty milk tea, ate fragrant mutton, chatted with fellow villagers with thick accents and crazy gestures, and had to explain over and over again why she came here.

[Travel Card was forced to stay due to the weather, which attracted onlookers. The reputation of the foreigner attribute in the local area is +20]

[The hotel owner spread the story of the stranger Kaka, and the story spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred...]

The following line of words appeared in the video.

[Travel Card's local reputation reaches 50, triggering the hidden NPC Guole. 】

Ayan and Juejue:!

Then, the two saw a braided man wearing a traditional Mongolian robe in the video. He had dark red skin and spoke unstandard Mandarin.

"I heard that there is a little girl from your place going to Hajitala."

"That's the pasture of my third uncle's sister-in-law's second uncle's family."

"His daughter is getting married, and I want to go over to help."

Kaka didn't understand this relationship, but she was so excited that she jumped up.

Found it, finally found it! It was my fellow villager who asked me about it.

The hotel owner told her that she could trust the man named Guo Le, as he was a famous ranch owner.

Moreover, this time, Guole went to visit this remote relative with his family.

Kaka got on the bus again. Brother Guole's wife and children were also in the car, which made her feel at ease.

The little man who had been stagnant at one place on the map finally started moving again. The jeep sped along, and Kaka followed the car through the yellowed grassland, the gradually changing red leaves, the occasional lake, and large herds of horses.

During the bumpy ride for several hours, Kaka's cell phone signal never dropped more than three bars. They also passed by a large wind farm with spectacular power generation equipment.

It was her first time to go so deep into the heart of the grassland. Brother Guole said that if a family had a large grassland here, the area occupied by it would be as large as a city district.

They finally reached Hajitala.

Because Brother Gol had made the phone call, all the relatives who came here to help knew that there was a young girl who had come all the way here just to come to Hajitala.

The moment Kaka got off the bus, he was presented with a Hada and warmly welcomed into the yurt.

"Why do you want to come to Hajitala?" a local elder brother asked in Mengpu.

"It's just grass. It's yellow. There's nothing to see. I'll be looking at it for a lifetime."

"I just wanted to come and take a look." Kaka said.

"This place is on the map, so I came to take a look."

"No one comes here to travel. You are the first one." They said, giving Kaka a thumbs up and showing a smile of not understanding but respect.

Kaka was invited to wear the Mongolian robe of Gule's wife and eat mutton amid laughter.

It was Kaka’s first time riding a horse, first time scraping meat with a saber, first time making salted milk tea, and first time living in a yurt.

Hajitala is the pasture of Guole's relatives. There are no other houses within a hundred miles, let alone hotels. The relatives brought their yurts here to prepare for the wedding of the bride Baoyin, and they worked almost non-stop in the felt yurt used as a kitchen.

Kaka attended an ethnic wedding he had never seen before. He was added to the wedding as a special witness from afar and recited his lines haltingly.

[I am honored to be a foreigner and become a special NPC who witnesses the two newlyweds]

[Travel Card Reputation +50]

At this moment, the video screen was filled with "99 long", "Happiness for a hundred years", and "NPCs from far away witnessed it together". Ah Yan couldn't help but smile as he watched it.

That's great.

Because of this wedding banquet, Kaka stayed in Hajitala for four days. The first night she arrived, the second day was the wedding day of Baoyin, the third day was the wedding day of Nan, and the fourth day she, as a relative of the bride, was a guest at the groom's home and received great hospitality.

It was lively and noisy, with people singing and dancing, and laughter everywhere, making Ah Yan wish he could join in as he watched the video.

There are always such magical encounters on the journey. Brother Gol, who took the initiative to find the hotel, took Kaka to the destination, and she also participated in a complete Mongolian wedding.

In the video, after the bride was picked up, the horse and car team circled the yurt of the bride Baoyin's home three times, and then galloped on the prairie. The congratulatory speeches and drinking songs during the wedding reception were endless. Although I couldn't understand Mongolian, I seemed to be immersed in it through the screen.

This video is very long. Even though Kaka split it into two videos, the total length is still three hours.

In the last part of Kaka’s video, because Brother Guole had not left yet, she followed the car of other relatives of Baoyin’s family who were attending the wedding.

The white Hada on her chest fluttered, and a line of subtitles that made people smile appeared on the screen.

[Travel Card received blessings from locals, mood +20]

In fact, Kaka also received a sword, but because she could not take it with her on the return trip, she left the sword she was given in Hajitala.

"Leave this knife here for your own use next time you come," said the bride Baoyin.

Kaka has gained a bunch of new friends on WeChat. They all grew up on the vast prairie and their growth experiences were completely different from his own.

With some difficulty, she recorded the location of the bride and groom's homes on her mobile phone.

To be honest, Kaka doesn’t know how the express delivery will be sent to him when the time comes.

Although the address was located in a certain grassland with several types of yurts or something, she believed that the Xia State Post Office would deliver the goods even on horseback!

As for the things sent to the Extreme Fleet, Ayan and Zhujue, as well as the dried beef and milk slices from the fellow villagers she had visited before, Kaka bought them in a relatively prosperous town after the wedding. There was an express station and local people there, and she took advantage of the local prices to buy large quantities of specialties and sent them out.

This place is a tourist area, and Kaka simply stayed for a day in a yurt to experience the difference between developed and undeveloped prairie.

Because Kaka had been taught to ride a horse in Hajitala, this time in the well-developed grassland tourist area, he was able to ride the already docile and tamed horse by himself.

Kaka asked the horse trainer who accompanied him during the horse riding to help take more photos. After walking around for half an hour, Kaka thanked the horse trainer who took the photos in Mongolian.

"I heard you came from the faraway Tara? That pasture is quite far away." The trainer asked in fluent Mandarin.

Kaka nodded, but she didn't think it was strange. When Baoyin's relative who drove her here heard that she wanted to stay for one night, he directly found someone he knew here to make arrangements. And it was the yurt owner who helped to make the arrangements so that she could go horse riding.

This was not the peak tourist season, so there were not many people in the tourist area. She was taken here by a local car and arranged to meet people there. Given how familiar the people were, they could talk for a long time even if they didn't know each other.

Perhaps it's because the grassland is too vast, and even with a mobile phone it's still quite lonely when you're hundreds of miles apart. The older people still keep their old habits and chat about family matters and exchange messages when they see each other.

"It's quite far. It takes a whole day to drive there."

"Go to the wedding." Kaka said.

It is more convenient to use the reason of attending a wedding, and you can save a lot of time explaining your blind box travel.

"Are they here to see the bride off? Are they from her family?" said the horse trainer.

Kaka was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Yes, I am from my mother's family."

She stayed at the home of Hajitala's bride Baoyin for two days, and then followed the bride to the groom's home as a member of the bride's family, and gave a wedding speech.

Even though she had known this family for less than a week, how could they not be considered Baoyin's family?

Kaka looked at the prompt of the Traveling Man System that appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations to the player for achieving the [A Chance Friend] achievement. Please keep up the good work. Do you want to wear the achievement badge?"

A casual friend? Kaka immediately checked the detailed description of the new achievement.

[Achievement: A Chance Friend]

[We met by chance, and a wedding turned a stranger into Baoyin's family. You decorated other people's weddings, and others decorated your journey. This should have been an ordinary journey, but it was different because of all this. In Hajitala, you are not only a distant traveler, but also Baoyin's family. You think so too, don't you? 】

[Effect of wearing: Mongolian regional friendliness +10]

Ayan and Zhu Jue finished watching the video unknowingly. The ending CG of Kaka's video this time was a little man Kaka wearing a Mongolian robe, drinking milk tea, eating mutton, and there were also simple sketches of a wedding. The little man was riding a horse and galloping on the grassland. The more you looked at him, the cuter he became.

After clicking three times in a row, A Yan sent a WeChat message to Kaka.

【Ayan】: Lots of videos! Waving the whip to urge for more!

Although the three-hour video released by Kaka this time is very long, the speed of weekly or even biweekly updates is really not enough to watch.

We have almost finished the snacks that we bought with Jue Jue, and we even restocked twice. However, Boss Tu hasn't come back yet. Will we have to wait until closing time?

After sitting for a long time watching the video, the two of them just stood up. Ah Yan stood in the house and stretched his waist, and saw a somewhat sneaky man with a backpack on his back peeking at the store door.

There was no halo on the top of this man's head, but Ah Yan didn't really care. He didn't look like a regular customer of the store.

Maybe she came to see a fortune teller or adjust her feng shui or something. She called Boss Tu again on the phone.

Ah Yan did not take the initiative to greet the man. The man peeked in for a while, apparently observing whether there was anyone else in the store, and then walked in.

He looked at Ah Yan and asked hesitantly, "Where is your father?"

"I have something here, can you decide what to do with it?"

Ah Yan's ears immediately pricked up. Huh? Huh?

Could this opening statement have come out of nowhere?

Boss Tu, please come back soon!!!
