Chapter 41: Fossils
Recently, Xiao Ping's luck seems to be good, and he just thought of buying jade, and someone took the initiative to call. That same night, Xiao Ping received a strange phone call, and the middle-aged man on the other end of the phone asked with a smile: "Is it Boss Xiao of the jade factory? ”
Xiao Ping was stunned for a second before remembering that this Lao Huang was selling jade in the antique market, so he hurriedly asked, "Hello Lao Huang, what's the matter with me?"
"Boss Xiao, I recently got a big jade material, I don't know if you are interested in coming to see it?" Lao Huang said to Xiao Ping diligently: "This piece of material is the biggest and best I have seen this year, if you carve a large artifact, you can earn several times as soon as you make a move!"
For Xiao Ping, who originally wanted to buy jade materials, Lao Huang's call was undoubtedly to send a pillow when he was sleeping, so he immediately agreed to go to him to see the goods. The next day, Xiao Ping was led by Lao Huang to his warehouse, a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city.
Lao Huang is worthy of turning into a jade business, and hundreds of square yards are piled with stones. These stones look inconspicuous, but many of them are serious jade materials, and before Xiao Ping entered the courtyard gate, the demon refining pot had a sense and began to tremble slightly.
The big jade material that Lao Huang said on the phone was placed in the house. Although Xiao Ping was already mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised when he saw this piece of jade material for the first time. This piece of jade can only be hugged by two people, and I am afraid that it will weigh several tons. After Xiao Ping approached this piece of jade, the induction of the demon refining pot immediately became more obvious, and it seemed that this piece of jade was not only huge in size, but also of good quality.
Xiao Ping, who had a bottom in his heart, pretended to look around the jade material for a while, and then said to Lao Huang next to him: "The thing is okay, I don't know how much you plan to sell it?"
"If you want Boss Xiao, I'll give you a real price, 150,000!" Lao Huang behaved very boldly.
Hearing this price, Xiao Ping couldn't help frowning. Although he has made some money recently, he has spent no less than he earned. In particular, the cost of renovating the farm is very high, and it has not yet been completed, and the money from the last sale of ginseng has already been spent. At present, Xiao Ping only has some money from selling vegetables, but he can't spend all of it on buying jade materials, so he seems a little hesitant.
Seeing that Xiao Ping was hesitant, Lao Huang was also a little anxious. This piece of jade material is too big, and it is a little difficult to make a move, he didn't want to miss a big customer like Xiao Ping, so he hurriedly took the initiative to reduce the price: "Boss Xiao, why don't I let go of another 10,000, 140,000, how about it?"
"I'll take 130,000. Considering that the induction of the demon refining pot is indeed quite strong, Xiao Ping reported his psychological price.
Lao Huang thought about it for a while, nodded heavily, and said, "Deal!"
Xiao Ping nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you go to the city with me to withdraw money, and by the way, help me send this piece of jade to Xiaozhou Village at the foot of Baiyun Mountain." ”
Xiao Ping's request was also normal, Lao Huang agreed without thinking about it, and found a few people to help carry the jade into the car. Just then, another pickup truck drove into the yard to unload. When unloading the goods, a very ordinary-looking stone rolled to Xiao Ping's feet, and he immediately felt the demon refining pot tremble wildly.
"What's the situation?" Xiao Ping hurriedly pressed the demon refining pot on his chest and looked around curiously. However, he saw nothing suspicious other than the stone at his feet.
Xiao Ping picked up the stone and approached the demon refining pot, and immediately found that the induction of the demon refining pot was even stronger. He was convinced that this stone was very important to the Demon Refining Pot, so he found Lao Huang and asked, "How can this thing be sold?"
Lao Huang glanced at the stone casually, and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Boss Xiao is joking, how could I sell you this kind of miscellaneous stone? ”
"Then thank you. Xiao Ping was not polite and stuffed the stone into his backpack. …,
The transaction went smoothly, and the jade was soon delivered to the small building of the farm. Xiao Ping finally waited until the workers got off work in the evening, and then put the demon refining pot on the jade material.
Just like the previous times, as soon as the Demon Refining Pot came into contact with the jade material, it began to quickly absorb the essence in it. The warm, shiny part of the jade quickly disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a rough and dull dross. Don't look at this piece of jade material weighing several tons, but it was completely absorbed by the demon refining pot in just over ten minutes, leaving a large pile of gray powder.
"One hundred and thirty thousand, it's gone in a blink of an eye!" Xiao Ping sighed distressedly, and then entered the space of the demon refining pot to see what had changed in it.
After absorbing such a large piece of jade material, the space of the demon refining pot was much larger, almost close to the size of an acre of land. The waterhole for saury farming has also become larger, but the depth of the water has not changed. The small trees that grow near the springs have also changed, and the new ones have expanded a little, and they have begun to take on the rudiments of leaves. Judging from these changes, Xiao Ping felt that the more than 100,000 yuan was still well spent.
Xiao Ping quickly left the space of the Demon Refining Pot and focused his attention on the stone that was not amazing. By all accounts, it's an ordinary stone—not even jade. But the demon refining pot does have a very strong sense of this stone, and the curious Xiao Ping found a hammer to gently hit the stone, hoping to figure out the mystery. After a few knocks, the stone cracked, revealing a strange piece in the middle.
It was no more than two fingers, and had joint-like shapes at both ends, resembling a bone. Perhaps because of its age, it has turned grayish-black, exactly the same color as the stone that wraps it. Xiao Ping looked curiously at what he found from the stone, and muttered to himself uncertainly: "What kind of animal fossil is this?"
Xiao Ping is not a paleontologist, so he doesn't care about what animal fossils he finds, he cares more about whether it will help the demon refining pot. Xiao Ping put the fossil on the demon refining pot and immediately found that it could also be absorbed by the demon refining pot. The small fossil was quickly absorbed, and to Xiao Ping's surprise, the fossil was completely absorbed, leaving no dregs behind.
As soon as the fossil was absorbed, Xiao Ping couldn't wait to enter the space of the demon refining pot, and he really wanted to know what obvious changes had happened to the demon refining pot that had absorbed the fossils. However, when Xiao Ping entered the space of the demon refining pot, he couldn't help but be taken aback immediately.
The change in the Demon Refining Pot after absorbing the fossil is even bigger than after absorbing such a large piece of jade material just now!
The area of the space has expanded a lot, and it is already an acre and a half. The eyes of the tree next to the spring have fully unfolded, and they have officially grown into a complete leaf. The waterhole was larger, and two saury fish were swimming happily in it, and even the creek that connected the spring to the waterhole was much wider.
The use of a small piece of fossil for the demon refining pot is actually greater than the jade material worth more than 100,000 yuan, which is really too unexpected for Xiao Ping. He looked at the space of the Demon Refining Pot, which had changed greatly, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that in the future, we will have to find a way to get some fossils for the Demon Refining Pot to absorb, the effect of this thing is much better than jade!"
In fact, this is just Xiao Ping's wishful thinking, fossils are rarer than jade, and many of them are still prohibited by the state, so it is not easy to get fossils. However, buying fossils or anything is a matter for the future, and the most important thing for Xiao Ping at the moment is to find a way to make use of the empty space in the demon refining pot as soon as possible.
