Chapter 173: Found a Treasure
I am most afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet, if it weren't for the little girl who applauded her uncle, Zheng Zhishan and them would be even more embarrassed. However, the scene still left them speechless for a while.
"Is it so easy?" someone questioned.
They also began to raise their trouser legs, lifting big rocks from the river bank and from the water, and they also wanted to try Ye Tiansheng's method, which felt very cool!
"Be careful, don't lift a rock and hit yourself in the foot, that's funny. Zhang Fan reminded.
When the men heard this, they became careful. If that's the case, they'll really have no face.
Then, there was a chaotic sound of water explosions, stones hitting the river, and the water traces bouncing up were like Songkran, Zhang Fan hurriedly hugged the little girl and stayed away from these crazy guys.
After a while, they finally had to admit that they had no talent for catching fish.
Zhang Fan snickered, so many people were smashing there, it was really a miracle that they could be hit.
Seeing that they were embarrassed to go ashore one by one, Zheng Zhishan thought about it, stayed in the water, and picked up a big stone from his feet.
This time, he took his breath and stood there for a minute.
A river fish swam to the vicinity again, and the moment it stopped, the stone in Zheng Zhishan's hand fell down.
Soon, he excitedly scooped up a fish: "Haha! I also hit it, it's a pond fish." ”
The guys who came ashore looked at each other again: Is there a trick?
"It's so simple, I know. As soon as he hit a fish, Zheng Zhishan began to get carried away and began to start the mode of boasting.
"Ahem, Brother Zheng, it doesn't seem to be a pond fish. Ye Tiansheng couldn't help but tear down the stage.
Zhang Fan almost didn't laugh, and said: "It's not a pond fish, it's just a yellow bone fish." ”
Pond fish is the name of the southerners, and the real name is catfish. It belongs to tropical and subtropical fish, widely distributed in all parts of southern China, and is not only a nutritious consumer product, but also a tonic with medicinal value.
Of course, many people don't like to eat this kind of fish, and they feel dirty, and even if they get off the septic tank, they can live very well, and they are often seen rolling in the dirty mud.
But in fact, catfish in the wild are just drilling mud, and they are not as dirty as everyone thinks. If you have to think so, isn't it impossible to eat loaches? The living environment of loaches and pond fish is the same.
Zheng Zhishan smashed and stunned a yellow-boned fish, a fish that looks really similar to a pond fish.
Its ventral surface is flat, the posterior half of the body is slightly flattened, and the head is large and flattened. The snout is round and blunt, the mouth is large, lower, the upper jaw is slightly longer than the lower jaw, and the upper and lower jaws are both villous and finely toothed. The eyes are small, lateral, and the septum is slightly raised. There are 4 pairs of whiskers, the nose whiskers reach the posterior edge of the eyes, and the maxillary whiskers are the longest, extending behind the base of the pectoral fins.
The color of male and female is very different, and the dark yellow yellow catfish has a slightly poisonous spin on its head.
"Yellow bone fish is yellow bone fish!" Zheng Zhishan didn't argue, anyway, there was nothing wrong with hitting the fish. This regained his confidence, and he continued to smash the fish there, his harpoon had long since been forgotten by him.
Chen Ziyi was the only female tourist who came to catch fish tonight. Although she hadn't caught any fish tonight, she still had a great time.
Not many days after coming to Zhangjiazhai, everything here deeply attracted her.
Suddenly, in the shallow water by the river, she saw a small green stone, a little conspicuous, so she bent down and picked it up.
"What's that?" she looked at for a moment, the green stone, it couldn't be an ore, right?
Zhang Fan took it and looked at it twice, it seemed to be turquoise. However, he was not sure that he had never seen real turquoise, only that he had seen pictures in books.
"Turquoise?"
Chen Ziyi was surprised, hearing Zhang Fan say this, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like it!
"Actually let me pick up the treasure?" Chen Ziyi was extremely happy.
"I'll take a look!" said a male tourist, approaching.
He is not an expert in treasure connoisseurship, but he still has some ability in appreciating gemstones, and he is an amateur. Whether it's turquoise or not, he can tell.
Turquoise is a high-quality jade, which was called the gem of heaven in the Qing Dynasty of China and regarded as a holy object of auspiciousness and happiness. The ancients called it "Bidianzi", "Qinglang Straw" and so on, and the Europeans called it "Turkish jade" or "Turkic jade".
The color of this gemstone varies depending on the elements it contains, from blue when copper is present in oxides and green when iron is present. It is mostly sky blue, light blue, greenish blue, green, and pale white with green. The color is uniform, the luster is soft, and the quality is the best without brown iron wire.
The piece that Chen Ziyi picked up was sky blue.
The first-grade turquoise is bright sky blue, the color is pure, uniform, strong luster, translucent to slightly transparent, and the surface has a sense of glass. The texture is dense, delicate and tough, without iron wire or other defects, and the blockiness is large.
If it's a piece of turquoise, it's a bit valuable!
The man scraped his fingernails as if he were losing color. When ordinary people see this scene, they may think it is fake. Real gems, how can this happen?
However, in ancient times, turquoise was a gemstone dye used for painting.
Turquoise is also often inlaid in gold, silver, and bronze, and its colors reflect each other, which is beautiful and full of national characteristics. Tibetan and Mongolian compatriots are especially fond of turquoise-inlaid knives, ornaments and other handicrafts. In addition, turquoise chips can be used as pigments. Tibetan medicine also uses turquoise as a medicine.
He looked at it for a moment, then handed the small green stone back.
"It's really turquoise, it's still good quality turquoise. It's a bit of a shame to be able to see the iron wires that aren't very obvious. He said.
In turquoise, there are black limonite veins distributed in a reticulated pattern, so that the blue or green turquoise presents a turquoise variety with black turtle back lines, reticulated lines or veined lines, which is called clematus.
The limonite veins on it are called "iron wires". The iron wire is slender, the bond is firm, the quality is hard, and the turquoise forms a whole, so that the turquoise has a natural pattern like an ink line, beautiful and unique. Turquoise with beautiful spider web patterns can also be a good product. However, if the reticulation is composed of clayey veins, it is called clay line turquoise.
The man explained a lot, but in fact, there was not much to listen to, it was too boring.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it is confirmed that it is turquoise, Chen Ziyi can't help but get excited. The price of turquoise is not as high as jadeite, but it is also a gemstone!
Moreover, it is more important to pick it up by yourself, which has important commemorative significance.
She thought, go back and find someone to make a pendant to carry with her.
At this moment, Zheng Zhishan in the river screamed and ran up to the shore frantically desperately.
"There's a fucking snake. ”
Zhang Fan was also startled, the flashlight shone on it, and he was speechless, is that a yellow eel?
