Chang Zheng gave a thumbs up: "Second sister-in-law, I like you to be so atmospheric!"

Speaking of which, he didn't take anything from Luo Tong's side, there were more than a dozen purple gold gourds in Chang Zheng's hands, and every year Luo Tong would share this purple gold gourd with his friends.

After looking at the four shops in a row, it was time for lunch. In Lao Ding's shop, he said that the biggest gain of Lao Ding today is that he invited guests.

Lao Ding is also happy, today's opening is enough to cover his three-month profits, and Lao Ding is also happy to accept the coaxing of friends.

His impression of Luo Tong and Sheng Qiwu is very good, very calm, and tolerant, without the superficial impetuousness of young people nowadays.

During the banquet, Lao Ding answered the phone, "Okay, we'll be there in the afternoon, well, okay, we'll meet when the time comes." ”

He put down his phone, and Lao Cao and the others all looked at him. Lao Chengxin said bluntly: "I want to go to see the goods in the afternoon?"

They are all old friends, and they all share resources together, Lao Ding nodded: "Yes, this afternoon, we started digging jade over there, let's go over and take a look?"

Lao Cai and the others nodded hurriedly in agreement, and Lao Ding looked at Luo Tong: "Xiao Luo can also go over and have a look if he is interested, this scene of digging jade is generally not allowed to outsiders." ”

"Dig jade, can we go over and take a look?" Luo Tong didn't care about eating. His eyes were shining and he looked at Lao Ding, and his anticipation was beyond words.

Lao Ding took a sip of tea: "No one can take it with you, but we can take you over to have a look." ”

Sheng Qiwu was also looking forward to it, he hooked his lips and smiled: "That's really grateful, to be honest, to be able to see this scene of digging jade with your own eyes, it's really worth the ticket price." ”

At this time, everyone had selectively forgotten Chang Zheng, and Chang Zheng didn't care, he followed Sheng Qiwu with a dead face, and naturally he followed Sheng Qiwu wherever he went.

After determining the itinerary for the afternoon, a group of seven people hurried to the Yulong Bridge, where the riverbed where everyone picked jade in ancient times, and there are still many people who have colored jade there.

On the way, Lao Ding introduced the development of this colored jade to Luo Tong, "In the past, it was all artificial jade mining, or the old jade workers walked barefoot in the river, and felt the seeds at the bottom of the river through their own experience. ”

"Another way is to be accompanied by young girls, holding hands and looking for seeds in the river. In ancient times, people believed that women belonged to yin, and the best sheep fat jade in the seed material was unique to women, so everyone thought that there was a special induction between the young woman and the seed material. ”

"But now it's different, science and technology are getting more and more advanced, and almost no one is doing this ancient way of colored jade now, and now it's all large-scale mechanical jade mining. ”

"You'll know when you get to the scene and take a look," Lao Ding didn't say more, just selling Guanzi.

Luo Tong blinked, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and looked at it when he got there, and it was only at two o'clock that he arrived at the Jade Dragon Bridge.

Lao Ding and a few people went to rent motorcycles familiarly, and when the time came, they relied on these cars to travel. They took Luo Tong to greet the jade miner, and then Luo Tong, Sheng Qiwu and Chang Zheng walked casually on this river.

On both sides of the river were rumbling excavators, and they dug all the way to about twenty meters underground, and the pebbles in the riverbed were dug out together.

Later, workers drove high-pressure water cannons to wash away the sediment on the surface of the pebbles.

The washed pebbles are then sent to the sorting area of the conveyor belt, where experienced jade workers use their own eyes to sort out the seeds mixed with the pebbles.

The sorted pebbles are then sent to the overall recycling office, where many workers inspect the pebbles in detail to ensure that no single piece of seed is missed.

There are big pits on the side of the river, and there are piles of hills next to them, and Luo Tong suddenly said: "Do you say that they will backfill these big pits after digging the seeds?"

Sheng Qiwu shook his head: "I just checked the information, these jade mining owners, before mining have paid a deposit, if the jade mining ends the tunnel backfill, you can get back the deposit, but the cost of backfilling is often higher than the deposit, so many people will choose not to backfill." ”

Chang Zheng smacked his lips: "Then this river is like this? How much damage to the environment? Will it not cause soil erosion and desertification of the Gobi?"

Sheng Qiwu spread his hands: "Maybe in the eyes of others, the destruction of the environment is far less than the benefits they have obtained, this is also a matter of no way, not everyone has this awareness of environmental protection." ”

When Luo Tong arrived here, he had already put the mood of coming to see the excitement in his mind, and his eyes were full of shock. Many elderly people squatted hard in front of the stone mill, pulling the pebbles piece by piece.

Occasionally finding a piece of seed, a shallow smile appeared on his dark face. Looking at that smile, Luo Tong suddenly felt very sad.

Sometimes, it is not easy to survive in this world, and at this time, such a sentence suddenly floated in Luo Tong's mind.

Sheng Qiwu escorted Luo Tong to look around in this jade quarry, and Luo Tong finally stopped beside an aunt in her forties.

The aunt was dressed in Uyghur costumes, her face was tanned, and her smile was very simple. Luo Tong squatted next to her and watched her work quietly.

It was really hard to dig out the seeds from the piles of pebbles, but Auntie still had a catch. She found a piece of green and white jade material the thickness of her little finger, and Luo Tong looked at it and felt that the moisturization was not very good.

But the aunt seemed to have obtained a treasure, and carefully put aside this small piece of seed, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face that had been tempered by the years.

Luo Tong watched for a long time, and only after stumbling with this aunt did he know that there was no salary for them to come and pick up these seeds, but they could take away the seeds found in these pebbles or sell them to the owner.

It depends on their own choice, and many people may not be able to find a piece of seed after a day of rummaging. According to the aunt, this small seed is the only thing she has harvested in the last three days.

Luo Tong also understood when he heard this, these owners are very shrewd in their calculations, in fact, you can find it if you want to, I don't take your money, and I don't pay your salary, but it's your luck to find it.

This is actually equivalent to the brick material in the jadeite wool, which is unsightly for others. The only difference is that bricks still cost money, and these pebbles are not needed. 2k reading web
