"I'm not talking about Gobi agate!

Jiulong listened to the other party's mist and simply emphasized.

"I haven't heard of this either, who did you listen to?"

Tie Dahan finally understood that although he was a Ludao Tong, he didn't understand everything.

"Don't ask where it is, I'll ask you, do you want to go there to Taobao?"

Kowloon also has a rare time to be proud.

"Yes, yes, yes, when to go, are there a lot of agate treasures over there?"

Tie Dahan hurriedly replied that he wanted to go, and said three things in a row.

"I don't know if there are any treasures, but I just heard people talk about it, come over tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, let's go together to see, maybe we can find a baby." ”

Kowloon said.

The next day was Sunday, so naturally there was no need to operate, so Kowloon was also very relaxed, and after the Tie Dahan converged, he followed the navigation tips and drove to Onyx Village.

At first, Kowloon thought that this agate village road was very easy to walk, but I didn't expect this road to get smaller and smaller, after driving along the Xinyang Tunnel, and then along Weng Jiao Road, Fulian Road, and then according to the three words of Dongpu Agate Village, drive forward.

At this time, the road has become a machine farming road, and only two cars can intersect, if it is not for the store advertising guidance of Lei Xinyuan along the way, whether it can be found or not, is a question mark.

The reason why Onyx Village is difficult to find is because its original name was Dongpu Village.

If you ask for directions on Xiamen Island, "Hey, how do you get to that Dongpu Village?"

Ten out of 10 people are guaranteed to say they don't know.

If you ask the other way: "How do I get to Onyx Village?"

It is estimated that maybe two or three out of ten people will know.

This may really be the sadness of Dongpu Village, a typical wall with flowers blooming outside the wall.

Onyx Village, formerly known as Dongpu Village, is located in Haicang District, Ludao, and is named Dongpu Agate Village because of its developed agate processing industry since the 90s.

Agate Village is located at the junction of Xiamen and Zhangzhou cities, adjacent to Jiaomei Town, Zhangzhou City.

Onyx Village belongs to Dongfu Town, which is commonly known as outside Xiamen Island.

This is mainly due to the administrative division of Xiamen, and the city center is mainly located on the main island of Xiamen.

There are two districts on the island - Siming District and Huli District, and there are four districts outside the island: Haicang, Jimei, Tong'an and Xiang'an.

Although Xiamen has been mentioning the integration of the island and the island, and speeding up the construction of the central urban area and satellite cities outside the island, the impression of the people outside the island is still the same as the countryside, which is a bit like Puxi and Pudong in Shanghai in the past.

From Xiamen Island to Dongpu Village, there is no car to go directly, you have to transfer cars, and eventually you have to take a motorcycle, of course, if you have a car is more convenient.

Kowloon drove for half an hour and finally came to Onyx Village.

Walking on the main road in the village, which is about a few meters wide and less than two kilometers, both sides are full of agate shops in the nature of front shops and back factories, and almost every store has a private car in front of it.

Walking down the street, you can hear the sound of machines cutting stone from time to time.

The creek in the village is white, and stone powder floats in it.

Walking on the streets of Onyx Village, the most distinctive thing is the tin buckets that are all over the roadside.

All of them are full of agate scraps, and even if you take one or two pieces and play with them, no one will say a word about you.

Of course, if you want to be a third hand, take it away and then quickly, I can't guarantee that no one will let the dog go!

Although there are many shops on both sides of the village, the streets feel deserted and there are no people.

Kowloon and Tie Dahan went to an agate shop at the entrance of the village to ask, only to know that this is usually the case, especially in the morning when there are fewer people, unless it is the agate cultural festival that gathers some people for a few days every year, it is usually deserted most of the time.

So, if you come to Onyx Village with the mentality of visiting a wholesale market, you will be wondering.

Why is there no one else, is this still a business?

According to the store, in fact, over the years of operation in Agate Village, the storefront is just a showroom and signboard, which is used to entertain guests, and the real transaction is mostly carried out in the factory.

In this shop, the main ones on display are agate bracelets and agate carving ornaments, and there are also a lot of pendants, rings and beads, most of which are processed from the waste materials of agate bracelets.

Kowloon couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he came to find strange stones, and these handicrafts were not interested at all.

Asked the storekeeper, he didn't know what a strange stone was, Jiulong and Tie Dahan had to go to the agate processing factory first to see those raw materials

One material, is it possible that it is a strange stone.

When I came to the corner of a processing factory at the head of the village, I saw a lot of stone eggs, which looked rough on the outside, some were even wrapped in mud, and most of them were gray.

Kowloon looks like a mountain material, and it has no ornamental value at all, and it seems to be in vain.

However, if it comes, it will be safe, and Kowloon also wants to see how these agates are processed into bracelets.

Jiulong first saw a lot of agate scraps after digging the bracelet, like small circles, messily placed on the ground.

Of course, some of them are also packed in gasoline drums, which are basically scrap from processed bracelets.

Next, Kowloon went to the factory to see how these agate bracelets were made.

The workers were cutting the bracelets, and when they saw the Kowloon couple coming in, they didn't care, and didn't drive them away.

Perhaps, they have long been commonplace, and there must have been many outsiders who have visited them.

In the simple workshop, thirty or forty stone cutting machines and drilling machines were placed.

This industry does not require too many manpower, and one person can watch ten machines at the same time.

In the factory, you can see barrels of Brazilian gray agate rings and bracelets.

Workers are trimming the cut bracelets, and the processed bracelet blanks are the Brazilian agate bracelet blanks of the primary colors of the general goods, which are not polished before they are coarsely pulled.

After the above links, the rough agate bracelets are produced, at this time, is it possible to polish? The answer is - no.

Because the agate rough stone must be coated with a layer of oil when slicing or digging the bracelet, and the oil is indispensable when repairing the blank, otherwise, due to the brittleness of the agate, the bracelet is easy to crack.

Therefore, after the blank is made, there is another process - soak the bracelet in water and remove oil.

Since most of the bracelet processing factories in Onyx Village are family workshops, the tools for soaking water are quite simple, which is the usual plastic buckets.

Soak it in water for a few days, and as for whether you add detergent, I didn't ask.

As for the processed waste, it is naturally still received in the barrel, and the rough stones that cannot be made into bracelets are casually piled up in a corner of the yard.

After soaking in water, the bracelets have to be dried.

Tie Dahan asked the worker curiously: "Just like this, gray is not gray, yellow is not yellow, black is not black, and the agate bracelet is so ugly?"

The worker replied: "If you really want to pursue the primary colors, for most Brazilian and Uruguayan materials, it is true, of course, they are not necessarily so ugly after throwing the light, such as the following two." ”
