Episode 29 The Fog of Hua'an
Back at Master Qiu's house, the first thing Master Qiu did was to cook ginger soup for Lashi, and then let Lashi take it, and Lashi's face slowly turned ruddy.
Jiulong has been concerned about Lashi's safety, and now that Lashi is fine, his tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he finally realized that playing with stones is not only fun, but also dangerous.
Several people did not sleep all night, did not speak, hung their heads, and half lay on the sofa in the living room.
Early in the morning, Lashi had returned to normal, and laughed at himself: "I'm so stupid, I only care about picking up stones, I have a tendon in my brain, I don't know how to swim and dare to go to Jiangxin, thank you, without you, I will explain." ”
"It's okay, where are the kind words, it's also my fault, I didn't give you a wake-up, I've cooked porridge, let's go fill your stomach." ”
Master Qiu didn't talk much, but it could be seen that his heart was hot.
After eating, after a short rest, Lashi felt that he had strength, so he got up to say goodbye and drove home.
This accident made Jiulong's heart palpitate, and he spent all his time on stock speculation and rested for a few weeks.
Kowloon is not a half-person, this accident did not deter him, he just reminded himself to be careful in the future.
On Saturday again, Kowloon went to invite Lashi as usual, Lashi seemed to be very hesitant, saying that he had opened a shop now, and there were few to pick up, all of which were sent to the door by Shi Nong, and he looked at the right one, so he accepted it, otherwise he would not drink the northwest wind by picking it up alone.
In fact, Kowloon knows that this distress should have left a shadow on Lashi's heart, well, not reluctantly, Kowloon hates to ask for people the most, it is better to ask for others than to ask for himself, go by himself, he asked Lashi to borrow his motorcycle, this Lashi did not refuse, he knew that Kowloon was skilled, so he gave him the car keys.
Jiulong rode a Honda 125 motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and ran at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, heading straight for the middle of the Tingjiang River.
This place in the middle reaches is called Jiuxian, the name is actually a town, the population is large, the Jiuxian River here is turbulent, the river is wide, the two banks are separated by dozens of meters, Jiulong saw a sand and gravel yard full of stones, so he stopped the motorcycle, locked it, and walked over.
The Jiulong stones here are about ten or twenty centimeters, slightly larger than the downstream, but the water chong is not as good as Zhang Tan, Jiulong picked up for a day, tired half to death, and did not pick up a decent one, either the picture is not good, or there are too many interference lines, not to mention the shaped, I had to take a few "three good students", and returned to the Lashi shop with a disgraced face.
Lashi knew from the black line expression on Kowloon's face, telling Kowloon not to be discouraged, he was just going to buy goods tomorrow, and asked Kowloon if he would like to be a companion.
"Tell me where to go first?" Kowloon asked lazily with a tired face.
"Go to Zhangping Cheng Wucai Qishi Store, last time in Shanghang, he also gave me a business card, and said that his is a first-hand source, I want to go and see, and then transfer back from Hua'an. ”
Great, I have a stomach of doubts to ask, the two mountain rocks I picked up in Dayuan Village last time can just be taken to see if they can be used.
This time it is still Lashi to drive his Wuling small card in the past, it is the beginning of the winter season, the weather is starting to get cooler, but the temperature in the south is still not low at this time, Lashi wears a cotton autumn coat and a yellow leather jacket, while Kowloon is still a denim jacket, wearing chemical fiber autumn clothes and pants, putting the mountain stone into the backpack, this time they did not wear slippers, they all put on white sports and leisure shoes, that is, go to other people's stores to see, do not go down the river.
The road from Gutian to Zhangping, half of it is high-speed, it took 40 minutes to get to Longyan, after that, you can only take the national highway, this national highway belongs to a busy section, there are a lot of trucks, therefore, Lashi can only be cautious, walk at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, to Zhangping, it took two and a half hours, it was almost noon.
"Kowloon, Lashi, just waiting for you to come, it's cold, quickly, come in and sit down. ”
Xiao Cheng came out and welcomed them into the store while shaking hands.
Xiao Cheng handed them two cups of hot Zhangping daffodil tea to drink, Jiulong took it, took a sip, and immediately the fragrance was fragrant, the taste was mellow, and the sweetness was obvious.
Xiao Cheng's store is not small, about 100 square meters, and there are a lot of "Strait Stone Appreciation" magazines on the tea table, which are full of all kinds of Nine Dragon Stone and Wax Stone.
Xiao Cheng introduced as he walked, his business in this area is good, he adheres to the principle of "honest management", with "small profits but quick turnover" as the business strategy, and the stone is selling very well.
One of the characteristics of his shop is that the prices on the shelves inside are relatively expensive, and the prices on the ground are relatively cheap for you to choose.
Because there are too many stones, there is nowhere to put them, he simply put some of the new ones outside the store, and there are many stone friends from other places who come, do not pick the inside, but pick the outside, the uniform price is fifty, and Master Qiu also came to shop, and they also talked about wine together.
Kowloon finally understood why Master Qiu looked at Xiao Cheng so well, it turned out to be this friendship.
After Wucai introduced the stones in the store, he knew what Jiulong wanted to ask, and without waiting for him to speak, he took the initiative to introduce the strange stone resources of Zhangping: "We are located in the upper reaches of the Jiulong River, with peaks and peaks, undulating mountains, vertical and horizontal streams, unique strange mountains and beautiful waters, giving birth to rich mineral and strange stone resources.
"At present, the precious stone species found are: Jiulongbi, yellow wax stone, colored wax stone, tiger skin stone, plum blossom stone, mineral fossils, quartz stone, calcite, chlorite and so on, Jiulong Bi stone is our strength, we have all kinds of colors in Zhangping, so in Zhangping it is also called colorful stone, especially Baoshan green, green enough green, very famous. ”
"Thank you, Brother Wucai, for letting me know so much, I know that you are a cultural person, you have been playing with stones for so long, what is the trick?"
Kowloon put his bottom body and humbly sought advice.
"In fact, there is no trick, just go to the river to pick up, each section of the river picked up the Nine Dragons are different, pick up more and more, will be impressed, and the experience will slowly increase, in the past few years, I have been looking for an ancient stone cheats "Yunlin Stone Spectrum", but unfortunately I haven't found it until now, depressed!"
When Wucai said this, he was unwilling.
"What is the use of the Cloud Forest Stone Spectrum?" asked Jiulong with a frown.
"It's a treasure map of stone species all over the country, do you think it's useful?"
Xiao Cheng looked at Jiulong and asked rhetorically.
Jiulong was dumbfounded when he heard this, there was a treasure map for playing with stones, or ancient, it can be seen that this playing stone had it in ancient times, and he had to find a way to dig three feet into the ground.
Of course, Jiulong didn't say it, but just thanked Wucai for his teaching.
"In this way, I will give you a specimen of Jiulong Bishi and Yellow Wax Stone, which is considered to be a friend. ”
Wucai said generously, and after speaking, he went to the shelf to get the stone.
Jiulong hurriedly refused with both hands: "How embarrassing is this, it is useless." ”
"Shiyou in the world is a family, and no matter how polite you are, you will see the outside. ”
Wucai couldn't tolerate Jiulong anymore, and had put the two stones on the Wuling car.
In an instant, the warm current surged all over the body of Kowloon, no wonder the five talents had a good business and a thorough manner, so there was nothing to say.
It was also the first time he had seen up close what Yellow Wax Stone looked like.
This yellow wax stone is a typical Zhangping color wax stone, about 30 centimeters large, with a yellow base with cinnabar red, magnificent.
Touching it with his hand, it was smooth and delicate, and Kowloon's heart was happy.
At the time of Wucai's introduction just now, Lashi had already squatted down and carefully selected the stones he valued, and picked five sacks, and after the two sides negotiated the price, Wucai picked up a sack from the ground outside for him as an additive.
Jiulong remembered that the stones of Zhangzhou were famous, and Zhangping, as the upper reaches of the Jiulong River, should also have famous stones, so he asked Xiao Cheng about this.
Xiao Cheng replied affirmatively: "Of course there is, and it has also won the gold medal at the Fujian Flower Bonsai Expo, which is a sensation, not that I am boasting, we Zhangping Jiulong Bishui Chong is first-class, diverse, absolutely natural, unlike some places, it is polishing, and it is a head stone fraud, isn't this a cheat?"
"You're right, I've seen it with my own eyes. ”
Jiulong understood what Wucai meant, this guy, his mouth was really poisonous, he held his own stone, and trampled others under his feet by the way.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, the Zhangping Famous Stone I said is not far from my store, do you want to go and have a look?" Wucai asked.
Of course, Kowloon wanted to go, so Wucai closed the door of the store and took them to a store about a hundred meters away.
This shop is called "Xingsheng Calligraphy and Painting Stone Shop", but unfortunately General Tie guards the door and the owner is not there!
Kowloon was a little disappointed, so he had to say goodbye to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng was unhappy: "I can't afford to pay for a meal? ”
The two of Kowloon were not easy to refuse, so they followed Xiao Cheng to Houfujiang Fresh Food Street.
The biggest feature of this food street is river fish, Xiao Cheng walked into a Houfu river fish shop, ordered river fish stuffed tofu, river fish stuffed radish shreds, boiled river fish, steamed river fish and other delicacies to entertain them, the three of them found a table in the hall to sit down, while eating and chatting, the waiter served the food quickly, and the three of them ate deliciously.
Kowloon grew up fishing in the river since he was a child, and when he ate such a tender and delicious river fish, he also ate a big bowl of rice.
After the meal, the two of them said goodbye to Wucai and went straight to Hua'an.
Lashi said that Hua'an is not far away, in fact, it took nearly two hours to drive, the road is ditchy and bumpy, sometimes you can only walk along the rutted marks of the cart, which is worse than the road from Longyan to Zhangping, but fortunately, the desire for strange stones, so that Kowloon does not feel tired.
Finally arrived in Hua'an, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Hua'an is in the lower reaches of the Jiulong River, there is a village called Luoxi Village, Jiulongbi The richest resources are in the river of this village.
Listening to the introduction of Lashi Road, there are only more than 700 households in Luoxi Village, nearly half of the villagers have devoted themselves to playing strange stones, with annual sales of tens of millions of yuan, and a "fruit village" that lives by planting plums has been quietly transformed into a "strange stone village".
Lashi is familiar with the road, and drove the car directly to a stone farmer's house.
I saw a small man, working outside the room, and there were square stones that looked hundreds of pounds, but he didn't take it seriously, picked it up and left, and piled it up in the living room.
The living room has become a shop, and the stones are pushed all over the ground, and a simple shelf is placed on the left and right, and the stones on it are equipped with a base.
