Brother Song pointed out that there are many inkstone factories in the town, and the manufacture of inkstones can be said to be one of the pillar industries of their town.

"Just around the corner is the entrance to the pit. Brother Song said.

As we walked forward, we began to see some other people in the village. Every day, there are people here who come to struggle. If you are lucky, you may find a piece of high-quality material, and the income will be in hand in a year or two.

"Brother Feng, are they outsiders?" someone suddenly asked, with some vigilance in his eyes.

Here, it is almost a forbidden place in their village, and outsiders are not allowed to approach casually.

"My very good friend, come to see and see, I just reported to the village chief. Brother Song said calmly.

Hearing this, the young man dissipated his vigilance and said with a slight apology: "I'm sorry......!

Hu Yang shook hands with him and interrupted nonchalantly, "It's okay! This time, the main reason is to have a long insight, and if there is a suitable material, I may also bring one or two pieces back. ”

Brother Song was sandwiched in the middle and introduced them to each other.

"Brother Hu, do you smoke?" said the young man, taking out a very down-to-earth pack of Double Happiness.

"No, no! When I was a child, I smoked with others for a year and a half in order to be cool, and then I found it boring. Hu Yang smiled and politely refused to hand over the cigarette.

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help laughing, thinking that at the beginning, didn't they come here like this?

At first, I didn't know what smoking was like, but I just watched others smoke, especially my partners, and I didn't feel out of place if I didn't smoke, and I didn't keep up with the trend, so I followed suit.

In fact, after a year and a half, it is not difficult to stop.

Those old smokers, who can't do without cigarettes, are almost all habits that have been cultivated for more than ten years.

"You're fine, I don't smoke now, and I feel like life is boring. The young man bit one himself, and then gave one to Brother Song, but Andy didn't ask for it either, so the two of them swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog.

There were lights in the tunnel, but Brother Song and the others went in with flashlights.

"Won't there be a problem digging like this?" Andy couldn't help but ask.

Song Ge explained: "The rock tunnel is not so easy to collapse, unlike a coal mine. ”

In fact, the reason why coal pits are dangerous is that in addition to the risk of collapse, there is also the possibility of flammable and explosive gas - gas!

Hu Yang looked for a topic: "Recently, have you dug up any good material?"

The young man immediately came to be interested, and told Hu Yang excitedly: "Brother Hu, if you come two days earlier, you can see the material of banana leaves and white freeze, more than 300,000 yuan!"

"Jelly" is the different forms of white sericite lentil body in Duanyan, which is the most delicate, tender and purest place in Duanyan. According to different shapes, textures and colors, it is divided into banana leaf white, fish brain jelly, broken jelly, rice jelly, floating cloud jelly, azure jelly, etc.

After hearing this, the people in the live broadcast room rolled their eyes again, for most people, it is really not easy to earn two or three hundred thousand.

"It seems that the area of banana leaf white is not small, and it can be sold for more than 300,000 yuan. Poplar muttered.

Brother Song answered: "It can almost fill the entire inkstone, and the quality is good, the third uncle is a little anxious." ”

If he is it, he will definitely keep it in his hands first, this kind of thing will be dug less and less in the future, it is a non-renewable resource, and it will definitely continue to appreciate.

"The situation of the third uncle's family, you also know, you need money urgently, there is no way. ”

At this time, there is a commotion inside, and if you listen closely, you will find that someone is likely to have found good material.

"Let's go, let's see. Brother Song quickened his pace.

The young man who had been nagging all the time also trotted in, and before he ran out to smoke a cigarette, he was preempted?

"Oh my God! It's the third uncle again, he has been smoking from his ancestral grave recently?"

"It's still white banana leaves!"

"Weird, I also saw here yesterday, alas!"

......

The one who found the good material was a middle-aged and elderly man close to fifty years old, with a little white hair, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, wearing a vest and a towel on his shoulder.

In this village, he is the third in their big family, so everyone calls him the third uncle.

At this time, he wiped the sweat from his face and put down the hammer in his hand.

Quarrying has always been a hard work, whether the inkstone is valuable or not, the most basic condition lies in the stone quality of the inkstone, so the process of quarrying is extremely important, not to put the cart before the horse.

The famous pit of Duanxi has been mined by hand since ancient times, with high labor intensity and high quarrying technology, so there is a saying that "one pound of end stone is worth a thousand gold". Because most of the Duanxi stones are not earthquake-resistant, inkstone mining is still mainly manual mining, which cannot be replaced by machinery.

The third uncle is in a very good mood, quarrying for decades, most of his life, and has never continuously mined banana leaves and white material.

This piece, although the area of banana leaf white is not as large as the previous two days, it can still be sold for about 200,000 yuan.

"Let's let Jean, everyone, let my friends see. Brother Song shouted as he crowded around the periphery.

Someone turned his head to look and saw two strangers with a little wariness in their eyes. The young man who followed in explained that everyone was relieved.

When the third uncle heard this, the people who came had the desire to buy, and the whole person became enthusiastic.

Although he doesn't worry about having no buyers, as long as he puts the news out, someone will come to his door. But many of them are connoisseurs, and it is not easy to make more money.

The person who came was not very old, and he knew that it was Xiaobai at a glance, and maybe he could make more money from him.

"Everyone get out of the way, it's a guest from afar!" the third uncle's slightly cloudy eyes revealed cunning.

Hu Yang folded his hands towards everyone, which was regarded as greeting everyone and showing respect.

"It's an honor to follow Brother Song in for a long time. Then, Hu Yang turned to the third uncle: "Don't worry! If it's suitable, you won't suffer." ”

He crouched down and looked through the piece of material.

The material can only be said to be freshly mined raw stone, and there are a lot of rocks. If you are an expert, the next thing is the dimension.

The so-called dimensional material is the selection of materials.

Not all of the inkstone mined can be used as inkstone, after screening, and then it will be graded, there are cracks, flaws, or rotten stones, stone skin, roof and bottom plate removed, leaving the "stone meat", this process to know how to see the stone, the expert of the dimensional material masonry can "see through the stone", can predict the surface can not see the stone pattern.

Hu Yang lowered his head, and no one saw the look of surprise in his eyes.

Soon, he looked up and asked, "Third Uncle, how much do you plan to transfer this piece of material?"

The third uncle was delighted. Stretching out three fingers: "How about 300,000?"

Without waiting for Hu Yang to speak, Brother Song frowned: "Third uncle, your piece is obviously not as good as the one two days ago, aren't you bullying my friend?"

Others also think that Song Laosan is a bit too much, bullying people and not knowing how to do it, right?

If it were an ordinary outsider, it would be fine, but this is a friend of his own villagers, so it would be a bit unkind.

"It's not as good as the one two days ago, so it's tens of thousands cheaper. The third uncle quibbled.

"300,000, that's fine!"

Hu Yang said this, and everyone who wanted to persuade them to say a few words shut up, and they only felt that the person who came was wronged. Only Brother Song was a little ashamed, feeling that Hu Yang agreed in order not to make it difficult for him.
