Chapter 351: Metallic Flowers on Aquatic Plants

Zhu Laosan's home is in the dormitory of a tobacco company in Jiuwen District. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old dormitory was built in the 80s as a housing for the employees of the tobacco company, and later those people bought new houses and moved out one after another, and some people sold them.

Zhu Laosan used most of his life savings to buy this house, which can be regarded as a fisherman who has no fixed place to live and has his own place to live.

Today, he and his wife live in a suite of 70 square meters. A pair of children have gone to study in other places.

Zhu Laosan hummed a small tune, went to the Cantonese-style duck shop on the next street, bought half a roast goose, carried the fragrant roast goose, and went home with a little wine.

After a busy day, the old couple leisurely drank a little wine at the dinner table.

"Round girl, what do you look at?" Zhu Laosan's wife is a chubby aunt, and she also has a cup of two pots in front of her, and she eats the roast goose brought back by her wife. When she heard Zhu Laosan's words, she took her eyes off the food on the table and glanced at the things in Zhu Laosan's hand.

"Huh?" The fat aunt, who was turned into Aunt Yuan by outsiders, put down her chopsticks suspiciously and took the golden flower in Zhu Laosan's hand. "Where did this come from, so pretty?"

The whole bouquet of golden flowers, under the light of the kitchen, is particularly dazzling, and each petal is naturally formed, so there is no trace of artificial carving.

"Hehe, I still have it!" Zhu Laosan put a bag full of flowers in front of Aunt Yuan.

"This craftsmanship is amazing, even better than my uncle. Aunt Yuan said with round eyes.

Aunt Yuan's maiden family was a handicraft craftsman who made gold and silver. In the past, there were very few gold shops, and most people got married and had children, and they took the gold objects handed down from the previous generation and went to the craftsmen to make a new set.

Although Aunt Yuan didn't learn the craft, she was very familiar with the manual work of gold and silver, and when she saw this bouquet of gold flowers, she couldn't help but blurt out.

"What are you talking about!" Zhu Laosan took a sip of the second pot, squinted and sneered, "You drank too much wine, what kind of craft, this is the flower I picked from the aquatic plants, you really think it is gold!"

"You're just on top!" Aunt Yuan angrily picked up her big foot and kicked Zhu Laosan, "Who are you fooling, I've been playing in my father's and my grandfather's shop for more than ten years, and I can't still recognize the gold!

"Poof! What gold," Zhu Laosan was so happy that he almost squirted out the wine, he tore a piece of goose leg meat, put it in Aunt Yuan's bowl, and said happily, "I want to go crazy for money! I said that this is a flower of aquatic plants, I don't know why it looks like this, I think it looks good, so I picked some back, where is the gold! If this is really gold, then the aquatic plants will not become a fortune tree! You say this is gold, then what is this? Is it silver?"

Zhu Laosan casually picked up a silver-gray flower and put it in front of Aunt Yuan and asked.

This silver-gray Pure Spring Phoenix-eyed Lotus looks gray, not as beautiful as the golden color.

Aunt Yuan suspiciously picked up the silver-gray bouquet, stared at the round eyes, looked at it for a long time, and then slapped her thigh, and shouted in surprise, "This is tin! My uncle will play tin pots, and the tin pots we got married are made by my uncle!"

"Ahh

"I don't know what this one is," Aunt Yuan shook her head, "but I know what this one is?"

She picked up a silver flower that had fallen to the edge of the table, rubbed it lightly with her fingers, and then pinched it lightly and said, "This is silver, a proper thousand-foot silver, I can't be mistaken." When I was a child, my uncle asked me to distinguish the real from the fake, and I never missed it. And look at this one, such a beautiful purple-gold, it must be a very pure copper.

"Huh?" Zhu Laosan was really dumbfounded after hearing this. If he hadn't thought that he would have picked these flowers from the aquatic plants by himself, Zhu Laosan would have almost been persuaded by his wife.

"Impossible, impossible," Zhu Laosan shook his head stubbornly, thinking it was too ridiculous, "Then I didn't pick up a cheap one or two for nothing, the gold flowers are more than one or two, and it will be a lot of money according to the gold price." ”

"If you don't believe me, I'll go to my brother tomorrow and ask him. "The elder brother mentioned by Aunt Yuan is the son of her eldest brother, who inherited the craftsmanship of his mother's handicraft craftsman, and now works in a handicraft workshop in the gold and stone trading market in Qinghe City, specializing in helping others to make gold and silverware.

"Okay, just go!" Zhu Laosan didn't believe it, and decided to hold this pile of strange flowers tomorrow and ask his brother-in-law's son and his wife's maiden nephew about the situation.

The next day, Zhu Laosan took a break and ran to the place where his nephew worked. Qinghe Golden Jade City is the largest gold and jade trading market in the city. Aunt Yuan's nephew, Zheng Mingming, works in a processing workshop on the sixth floor of Jinyu City.

"Uncle, what are you screaming, I'll go straight over, and you came over on purpose. Zheng Mingming was about thirty years old, thin and thin, he was wearing work clothes, and when he received a call from Zhu Laosan, he hurried out to pick him up.

The relationship between the two of them is good, and Zhu Laosan doesn't talk to him, he wanted to take out the bag of bouquets, but somehow, he subconsciously pulled him to the corner and said, "Obviously, you have a good eye, help your uncle look at something." ”

As he spoke, he took out the bouquet of golden flowers first and handed it to Zheng Mingming.

"Huh?" Zheng Mingming's eyes lit up, flashing with amazement, he took the bouquet of golden flowers, looked at it seriously, and said, "Uncle, this golden flower is really good." It's definitely hand-made, and the machine can't make this aura. ”

"What?" Zhu Laosan heard Zheng Mingming's tone, obviously also regarded this as a pure gold thing, his heart was pounding, but he didn't plan to tell the truth about the origin of this golden flower, but said, "Oh, then you can help me check, is it pure gold?"

"Okay," Zheng Mingming took the golden flower and took Zhu Laosan to the testing room, and after a while, he returned the golden flower to Zhu Laosan with a smile and said, "Uncle, don't worry, it's really a thousand gold." The craftsmanship is very good, but for some reason it is made into a bouquet, and if you hang the flowers one by one on the necklace, it will be even more sought-after."

Zhu Laosan suddenly felt dizzy, it was like a big cake smashed into his head, and there was gold stuffing.

When he took the golden flower in a trance and subconsciously stuffed it into the bag, he thought of the silver and purple-gold flowers in the bag, and hurriedly took them out for Zheng Mingming to identify.

"Ahh ”

"I think this is like lead, it's really weird, why use lead to hit this bouquet, it's worthless, with this kung fu, how good it is to hit gold directly. ”

"Ha, this iron must be silver, and the purity is quite high. ”

"Why is this so like aluminum, this like copper. ”

Zheng Mingming judged while complaining about the maker of this bouquet.

However, he mainly comes into contact with gold, silver, and platinum on weekdays, and other metals are uncertain.

"That's okay, uncle has something to do, go first, thank you!" Zhu Laosan hugged the bag and estimated how much the golden flower was worth, and suddenly his old face smiled.

On the way back, Zhu Laosan kept muttering in his heart: "I found a treasure! Ah, no, I found a cornucopia! It's real money! It's amazing!"

Zhu Laosan ran home, stuffed the bag of metal flowers into the bottom of the wardrobe, and then couldn't wait to run to his boat. He also wanted to find out if there were any golden flowers.

This golden flower, weighed by Zheng Mingming just now, has 98 grams, according to the gold price of 350 per gram, this is more than 30,000 yuan!

Holding the boat, he circled around the Pure Spring Phoenix Eye Lotus, his eyes glaring at the boss, for fear of missing an expensive golden flower.

It's a pity that until the sun went down and Zhu Laosan had to call it a day and go home, he didn't find another golden phoenix eye lotus.

However, he was not without gains.

He picked more than 20 different silver metal flowers, but Zhu Laosan couldn't tell what they were, so he felt very bored and went home.

The metallic-colored phoenix lotus picked by Zhu Laosan on the Jingquan Phoenix-eyed Lotus is actually the heavy metal substance that the Pure-Spring Phoenix-eyed Lotus absorbs from the water.

With the development of economic construction, a large number of industrial pollutants have been discharged into various rivers in the city in the past ten years, and the river water is filled with a large number of heavy metal substances.

At present, the heavy metals that are most harmful to human beings are mainly the pollution of lead, tribute, cadmium and chromium.

In the impression of ordinary people, heavy metals, which seem to be far away from our lives, are actually ubiquitous in daily life.

For example, lead, which is extremely harmful, can be found in the most common cosmetics, hair dyes, faucet pipes, and car exhaust.

Once the water source is polluted, it is used for irrigation and breeding, and enters the animals and plants, and human beings are the highest end of the food chain, and the heavy metals in these animals and plants are eventually received by the human body.

The human body has a very low metabolism of heavy metals for itself. The biological half-life of cadmium in human renal cortex is 10~30 years.

Therefore, the harm caused by heavy metal pollution may not be immediately apparent, but it is an invisible and deadly killer.

Ordinary people have little resistance to heavy metal pollution. The air, the water, the vegetables, the rice, the fish and shrimp, I was so frightened to think about it, I could only turn a blind eye and deliberately ignore it.

The biggest function of the pure spring water hyacinth is to purify the heavy metals in the water, those separated metals are directly accumulated in the petals, and when they are accumulated, the pure spring water hyacinth becomes a metal color, and no longer has the ability to purify water quality.

Most of the bouquets picked by Zhu Laosan were formed by these heavy metals gathered together.

The setting of the Pure Spring Phoenix-Eyed Lotus has been slightly changed.

Originally, heavy metals were piled up on the stems of the gourd, but now they are piled up on the petals.

The previous article is locked, and I can't change it myself, so I'll explain it here. (To be continued.) )
