Chinese New Year's Eve passed, the new year arrived, and the couplet written by Bai Yan was pasted on both sides of the portrait of "Lu Dongbin" on the main gate wall, and early in the morning, Wei Ergou incensed the portrait, hoping for the blessing of the god of gold rush!

According to Wei Ergou's latest instructions, Wei Yiyun and I checked the latest version of the account book with Erica, and Airijia took the time to check, and it was not much different from Donai's estimate, so he signed his name on the account book. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the circle of friends, there was then a message spread at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was the establishment of the Ghana Mining Association, Su Zhenyu was elected as the secretary general of the Mining Association, and the people who were established together were the people we had dinner and discussed together.

Xiao Zuo seems to be a little resentful of being excluded from the association, WeChat my opinion on this matter, he said, "These old guys are too unrighteous!" ”

I just replied to him with a "huh! Don't worry too much, if you're serious, you'll lose! ”

For me, it doesn't matter what association is or not, the only thing I regret is Shang Linpan's death! Thinking that his four million are still in my account, I always feel faintly uneasy.

Bai Yan saw me staring at my phone in a daze and asked me, "What's the matter, what are you looking at?" ”

"It's okay, when I saw a circle of friends, I remembered Shanglin Pan Shangzong! And I remembered his four million things! I whispered back.

"Hey, don't think about these things during the Chinese New Year! It's good to return to his family after returning to China for four million, just have a clear conscience! Bai Ying repeated the words she had comforted me last time.

"Hey, what's this?" Bai Ying pointed to the dustpan next to the golden pond next to the wall and asked.

"This is a gold washing bucket, also called a gold washing dustpan!" Lao Wu smiled and picked up the dustpan and replied.

"Why do you need a dustpan to wash gold?" Bai Yan asked this question, in fact, I have always wanted to ask.

"I can't say this clearly, but there is a legend." Lao Wu took the gold-washing dustpan and handed it to Bai Ying, and then slowly told his story:

On this day, Erjin came home from the mountain carrying firewood, and when he was tired of walking, he put down the firewood and lay down on a flat stone to rest, and heard someone calling him in a daze. Erjin opened his eyes and saw that it was a white-bearded old man, and said that he wanted to buy his firewood, so Erjin followed the old man and delivered a load of firewood to the old man's house.

This is an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, and out of the house comes a gray-haired old woman. The old man said to the old woman, "The young man has brought us firewood, so get us something to eat." The old woman brought some dumplings from the kitchen. Erjin happened to be hungry, so he was not polite, and devoured three. When Erjin was full, he said to the old man: "Uncle, you two are old, so you don't need money for this load of firewood." I'm young, I have strength, I'll send you a ...... when there is a shortage of firewood in the future" The old man smiled: "It's not easy for you to go into the mountains to chop firewood, and we can't bear it if you don't want money, so I'll give you something......" The old man said and took out a small porcelain plate from a small box, and there were a few large soybeans on the plate. The old man said, "These are a few golden beans, and I can only give you one." After returning home, it will be planted in your field, and it will be watered every day with 7749 loads of water, and the golden beans will sprout and grow golden bean seedlings in 7749 days, and then it will bear full branches of golden bean pods, and it will take 7749 days to harvest the golden beans, and then your family will not be poor for generations...... "The old man said and pinched a golden bean with his hand and handed it to Erjin, and told Erjin not to talk about it to anyone, otherwise it would be in vain......

Erjin said goodbye to the old couple and walked out of the village, and when they walked out of a short distance and looked back, the small village was gone! Erjin was shocked, it turned out that the white-bearded old man was a fairy!

After Erjin returned home, the next day he turned over the soil in his own field at the foot of the hill and then made a furrow, planted the golden bean in the middle of the square furrow, and then carried water every day. It takes a long way to carry water from the small river, but Erjin is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and forty-nine loads of water a day is a lot. Erjin's elder brother Dajin and his daughter-in-law felt very strange when they saw Erjin carrying water all day long to water the land, so they asked Erjin what was going on, and Erjin thought that the white-bearded old man had told him not to tell others, so they refused to explain. Dajin looked at Erjin's strange appearance and thought that his younger brother had a nervous disorder. Dajin's daughter-in-law is a very shrewd woman, she thinks that Erjin is strong and strong, where does it come from? What is the secret of eighty percent......

On this day, she and her husband discussed and bought wine and meat to cook good meals and dishes, and invited Erjin over. At the wine table, Dajin and his wife kept pouring wine and vegetables for Erjin, which seemed very close. He also said that his father and mother passed away early, although the brothers were separated, when the brother and sister-in-law were always thinking about the second brother, the second brother was not young, and the brother and sister-in-law planned to ask the matchmaker to tell the second brother about the daughter-in-law in a few days...... After listening to his brother and sister-in-law's words, Erjin was so moved that he couldn't say a word, and tears fell down his eyes...... Seeing that the time was ripe, Dajin's daughter-in-law led the conversation to the matter of Erjin watering the ground, and said to Erjin with a concerned face: "Second brother, your brother and I have been feeling sorry for you, you are always tired and tired of watering the ground these days, you say that you are not stupid, what's the use of watering that water endlessly?" What should I do if I am tired? Erjin was grateful to his brother and sister-in-law, and felt that his brother and sister-in-law were so good to him, and no one should hide this matter from his brother and sister-in-law. So he told the story of going up the mountain to fetch firewood and meeting the white-bearded old man who gave him golden beans. Then he told his brother and sister-in-law not to tell outsiders, saying that in the future, the brothers would share the golden beans equally......

Dajin and his family couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they heard it, no wonder the second child was desperately carrying water, it turned out to be like this! After Erjin left, Dajin and his family discussed stealing the golden beans planted by Erjin and planting them in their yards, and in the future, they will all be their own! In the second half of the night, the two quietly came to the field of the two gold beans, and the two of them carefully peeled off the soil with lanterns, and carefully searched for the soil and the land. The work paid off, and the golden bean was finally found before dawn. The couple is bad now! In order not to let Erjin see the flaw, Dajin carried two loads of water, leveled the soil in the square of furrow, and then returned home happily. A few days later, Dajin told Erjin that when he went into the mountains to collect firewood, he also met the white-bearded old fairy at the place of the big flat stone, and the old fairy also gave him a golden bean......

Dajin planted the golden beans in his yard, and like his younger brother, he carried 7749 loads of water every day to irrigate. The big gold bears the water, the two golds also bear, and the brothers compare the burdens. Dajin and his wife secretly had fun in their hearts, saying that Erjin was really a big fool......

Erjin carried more water every day, his clothes were worn out, and his shoulders were worn out, but he gritted his teeth and stood up. On the forty-ninth day, Erjin came to the place where the golden beans were planted with excitement to see the golden beans sprout and unearth, but he looked left and right and did not see the golden bean seedlings arching out of the ground. Erjin was still not discouraged, and continued to carry water non-stop, thinking that maybe the amount of water he carried was not enough. He believed that the white-bearded old fairy would never lie to him.

On the morning of the fiftieth day, the two of them got up early and ran to the courtyard to see the golden bean seedlings. Don't mention the joy of the two of them, Jindou Miaoer broke the ground! However, five days have passed, and the golden bean seedlings are still hiding in the soil and refusing to show their faces. Dajin thought to himself, maybe the sprouts of the golden bean seedlings were too tender to arch the crust, so he took a small wooden stick and gently lifted the cracked crust, but he didn't want to arch out a mole cricket from it! Dajin was so angry that he grabbed the mole cricket and threw it to the ground, and stepped on it twice with his foot. The golden beans did not sprout, so Dajin decided to dig up the soil and find the golden beans to sell for money, but the two of them turned over the soil several times, and sifted the soil again with a fine sieve, but they did not find the golden beans!

Erjin carried more than ten days of water, and poured the soil furrow into a puddle, but there was still no shadow of the golden bean seedlings. Erjin also thought in his heart, if he can't grow golden bean seedlings, the golden beans can't be thrown away in vain, after all, they are valuable things. Erjin took a wicker dustpan and shook the sand in the water one by one. The fine soil and fine sand were washed away, leaving a small amount of coarse sand and small stones, and Erjin was pulled back and forth among the coarse sand and small stones to look for golden beans. I searched for several days, and although I didn't find the golden bean, I could find gold the size of a sesame seed or a chili seed every day. Erjin looked at the small gold grains he found every day, and suddenly woke up - it turned out that the white-bearded old fairy gave him golden beans to teach him how to pan for gold and make a fortune! Erjin told his brother and sister-in-law about the situation, and Dajin also followed his brother's example and began to pan for gold. Later, Erjin told the nearby villagers about the gold mining, so the gold diggers flocked to it. Anyone who came to pan for gold gained more or less every day, and people's lives gradually improved. After the practice of panning for gold, people felt that it was laborious and slow to use a wicker dustpan to dig for sand and soil, and the wicker dustpan was not durable. So someone nailed a wooden plate out of thin wooden planks to pan for gold, and then after several modifications, it was finally shaped into a concave middle with two warped ends and four handles. In this way, two people hold the handle to dig the sand and soil in the water, and shake it over like a see-saw by the buoyancy of the water, which is both effortless and fast, which is the origin of the gold dustpan. Until now, farmers in some places still use this wooden gold dustpan to pan for gold in the sand.
