There was nothing to gain from the warehousing auction, Li Du was not discouraged, his eyes were shifted, and he went to Winslow's Petrified Forest Park. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It just so happened that Sophie got a small vacation, and she wanted to find a place to travel, and Li Du had the time and knowledge to go out with her.

But when she learned that Li Du planned to go to the Petrified Forest Park to look for fire opals, she became interested, so she changed her mind and wanted to stay with him for a week.

During the meal, she said the plan, Li Du shook his head and said, "Isn't this okay? I went to Winslow for work, it's not interesting, why don't you delay for a few days, I'll accompany you to find a place to travel first?"

Sophie shook her head again and again: "Actually, I don't particularly want to go to a place to travel, it's good to go to Petrified Forest Park, give your brain a vacation, and feel good there." ”

After a pause, she added, "I'm not just going to play, I'm also going to find a piece of fire opal, because my dad's birthday is coming up and I want to make a gift for him." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Du perked up and said, "When is your father's birthday?"

Sophie said: "The last day of October, there are not a few days, so I agree to go with you to find a fire opal and a gift for Dad. ”

Fire opals are a good choice as gifts, and this thing is known in Native American culture as the gemstone of the bird of paradise, which symbolizes good luck and tranquility.

Mexicans believe that opal fell from the glittering universe and thus acquired its magical color.

Moreover, the international jewelry community lists opal as the October birthstone, a gemstone that is a lucky stone for those with a birthday in October.

There is no good opportunity to make money at the warehouse auction for the time being, so Li Du changed his way out and chose to go to the petrochemical forest national park to pick up opals.

Last time he didn't bring anything, he bought some tools and harvested eight opals, this time he is well prepared, and I believe there will be more gains.

In order to protect the landscape and geographical environment of the national park, fully automatic machines are not allowed to be brought in, such as small excavators, pile drivers, reclamation machines and other machines are absolutely not allowed to enter.

But Li Du knows that there are also fire opals in the gravel layer, and some stones are found to be two meters deep in the gravel, which is difficult to dig by hand.

He can only prepare some large digging tools, and he will bring Godzilla and Ooku with him anyway.

This time he went to look for the fire opal, and he was much more prepared, in addition to digging tools, he also prepared medical supplies, tents, pots, windproof stoves and other tools as Stephen's cousin said.

In addition, raincoats, umbrellas, boots, generators, large backpacks, lighters, lighters, light sticks, water purification bottles, sleeping bags, various foods, are well prepared.

Even Sophie brought small toys to Ah Yan, and Li Du couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this thing.

It was too wasteful to do this job and drive a big truck, Li Du paid for a pickup truck, a Ford F350 pickup truck, an upgraded version of the F150, equipped with a 6.7-liter V8 turbocharged diesel engine, absolutely Mr. Mighty.

Ready for all the tools and supplies, they got in the car and drove to Petrified Forest National Park in late October.

This time they entered the national park from the north side, which doesn't have a lot of huge colorful petrified wood compared to the south side, but has a better environment.

When you enter the national park from the south side, it feels like it is a desert, but from the north side, you can see patches of green grass and clumps of bushes.

However, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grass is slightly yellow, and the shrubs are gradually withering, and the scenery is not as good as spring and summer.

Sophie, dressed in a blue overalls, looked at her surroundings with great interest and said, "It is said that the national park is beautiful in spring, and there are many flowers that bloom, but unfortunately, we can't see it now." ”

Li Du said: "It doesn't matter, although there are no flowers on the ground, there are many gems that are more beautiful than flowers in the ground, and I will take you to find them." ”

Sophie hugged him and gave him an affectionate kiss, Mr. Li felt beautiful in his heart, although the female doctor was more shy in front of people, but compared to Asian girls, she was still much more open and could kiss at any time.

Arizona girls are notoriously enthusiastic in the United States, and they never hesitate to express their love when they meet a lover, let alone be ashamed to make gestures to show their affection.

As they galloped all the way, it was noon when they arrived at the national park, and the sun was intense, shining on the land dazzlingly.

Standing on a high place and looking around, there are ores of various colors on the ground, and there are tall colored petrified trees, which can dye the earth in color when the sun shines.

Here they saw another attraction of the park, the Painted Desert, a colorful wasteland with patches of grasslands and bushes, which dotted the land with great beauty.

Li Du went to buy a ticket, and for 500 yuan a ticket, he could get the 24-hour mining right of a piece of land.

Of course, it is not allowed to use overly drastic means to mine, so you can only stay there and look for it.

He took a thousand dollars at a time and leased a piece of land for forty-eight hours.

One hectare was so large that even if the four of them wanted to sweep it, it would take at least two days and two nights.

Sophie leaned down the window and looked out the window and said, "We're not going to meet those nasty bad guys again, are we?"

Li Du patted Da Ao on the shoulder and said, "We take these two guys with us, and it is those bad guys who should be afraid." ”

Da Ao curled up his arms to show his muscles, and said confidently: "Don't worry, boss, whoever dares to provoke us, I will clean up his doubts." ”

Sophie's face blushed when she called 'boss lady', but she didn't mind this kind of ridicule, and agreed generously: "I really look forward to seeing that scene." ”

They didn't run into Cyril and other ore pickers, but they did meet Owen, a gem merchant who had helped Li Du preside over the opal gambling game.

Owen was riding around the national park on an electric car, he had a sharp eye, he saw Li Du at a glance, and greeted, "Hey, man, you're not here for a tour, are you?"

Li Du smiled: "I'm here to cooperate with you this time." ”

He felt good about the big fat gem dealer, and when he first presided over the gambling game, he maintained a very fair attitude, and everyone present at the time chose him to preside over the gambling game, which showed that he had prestige in the eyes of the locals.

Hearing him say this, Owen's little eyes lit up all of a sudden.

He enthusiastically handed over a business card and said, "If you find a fire opal and are willing to sell it, then you must contact me, I swear I will give you a fair price!"

Li Du put away his business card and said, "No problem, but don't get your hopes up, you also know that finding a fire opal is not a simple matter." ”

"It may not be easy for others, but it must be easy for you. Owen slapped him on the back, "You're not an ordinary person, Wonder Boy China Lee." ”
