"Don't worry, they are all natives of the township, and I will definitely not treat them badly!" Wang Mazi held his thin chest and said with a straight face: "You should do well, and finally give us a way to live, right?" ”

Kuang Jingxia nodded and decided: "Okay, you go back and tell your concubine to let her come to talk to me, and let's go to the mine to have a look." ”

Wang Mazi thanked him for his kindness, Kuang took Wu Shixiang under the mine, and the group ignored the night and went down to the mine with the lights.

"Brother, are you really going to give up these mines?"

Looking at Wu Shixiang's curious appearance, Kuang Jingxia shook his head and said: "This is already chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, last year the engineer found that the ore veins have been exhausted, and the quality of the ore will only get worse and worse." I thought that I would persevere this year, but now the villagers have different intentions and can't do it at all. ”

"Anyway, I have been working on this land for seven or eight years, and I have some feelings, but I really want to evacuate the villagers' lives and have no settlement." Kuang Jingxia looked down at the village condescendingly, and said emotionally: "The villagers can do it themselves, and they can be regarded as having a livelihood." ”

Wu Shixiang nodded, Lao Kuang is a caring person, but he is still worried and asks: "It's good, but that Wang Mazi can be trusted?" ”

"It's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, and now the villagers can't listen to what they say! Wang Mazi is not right-hearted, selfish, and will definitely fill his pockets, forget it, I can't control it, look at their creation. ”

In the past two years, Kuang Jingxia has been very disappointed by the rogue actions of the villagers, although he has made a lot of money, but he has also done a lot of practical things for the village. The lives of the villagers have been greatly improved, but as a result, the people's hearts are insufficient, and they have ended up like this, and they are also tired.

"Boss, it's better to give up, this small vein has no future, and whether or not the rough stone can be produced in the future is two words." An engineer next to him comforted: "Look, it's just a small branch of the main vein over there, so let's open it for seven or eight years, if we can dig that big vein, it will be a great thing." ”

Wu Shixiang looked in the direction of the engineer's finger. In the distance, there are vast mountains, empty and bounded by towering barbed wire, which should be a military exclusion zone.

"No way. Military restricted areas, not to mention Nanhong, even if there are gold mines, it is not something we can touch. "Kuang is also very sorry to go down, looking at the veins close at hand, I can only look at it and sigh.

"This is the South Red Rough. Dude, take a look. ”

"This?" At the moment when Wu Shixiang took the rough stone handed by Kuang Jingxia, the familiar system prompt remembered, and his heart was excited.

"Discover the southern red rough, the gem project is opened, the first project is optimized, 30 percent need 3 energy points, 50 percent need 5 points, 80 percent need 10 points, and 100 percent need 20 points. There are 300 XP points left until the next project starts. ”

"It's finally time to start a new project! Baby, optimize and transform. Cattle! ”

Wu Shixiang was ecstatic, since the woody and pit classes reached a bottleneck, the third major category of projects finally opened today, gemstones!

"Brother? Are you okay? Kuang Jingxia saw Wu Shixiang's surprised and happy expression, and asked curiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the first time I've seen Nanhong Rough, and I'm a little curious." Wu Shixiang hurriedly covered up: "What does the original stone say?" ”

"According to the natural shape of Nanhong raw materials, it can generally be divided into: water Nanhong, mountain Nanhong, and volcano Nanhong. Based on the known Nanhong materials and the conventional statements in the industry in the past, Nanhong can generally be divided into brocade red, rose red, cinnabar red, red and white materials, red and red materials, etc. ”

Lao Kuang asked the engineer to take out a few different rough stones, and briefly said to Wu Shixiang under the light: "Nanhongzhong." Jin Hong is the most precious. The best is as bright as brocade, and its characteristics: red, waxy, fine, moist and even. The colors are mainly red and bright red, including the well-known persimmon red. ”

Wu Shixiang took a small piece of rough stone and looked at the cut cross-section. Sure enough, it is bright red and bright.

"This is the second grade of rose red, the color is purple-purple compared to brocade red, and the whole is purple-red, like a blooming rose, which is relatively rare in history. There is a certain amount of occurrence in the red mine in the south of Liangshan. A few years ago, it was a frequent place here, but now it is invisible. ”

Lao Kuang pointed to a large pile of freshly dug rough stones and explained: "Now the main production here is a combination of materials, the jargon cherry red, which is a transparent jade material, and the crystals are very delicate. The joint material is the southern red material that comes out of the vicinity of Meigu County, Liangshan, the polarization of the original stone is very strict, the good is the best cherry red, and the bad one can only be reduced to the floor price of making currency. The joint material is full of water and transparent, and now the Baoshan material is fried high, and many people have started the idea of pretending to be Baoshan material with the joint material. ”

"First of all, look at the color, the lines of the southern red agate are relatively clear, and there is no powder or some variegated colors in the middle of the lines, but the fake southern red agate will have some traces of fire in the cracks, which is actually relatively easy to see. And the color of fake southern red agate is mostly red, but we know that now the red southern red agate is very rare. ”

"The real southern red agate is particularly silky and natural when touched, and you can see that it has the characteristics of translucent light when you look at the light, and the southern red agate is a gelatinous form. Even the all-red southern red agate will not be transparent, and the colorless southern red agate will not be very transparent, and will have a hazy feeling. ”

"If you look at the patterns here, the southern red agate will weathered over time, resulting in a crescent-shaped weathering pattern. But there will be no fake, which is the key for connoisseurs to see the real and fake. ”

Wu Shixiang has seen some Nanhong materials, and the name Nanhong agate has not been around for a long time, at least in the 90s of the 20th century. The definition and ins and outs of Nanhong are very complicated, some say that it is the red agate of Yunnan, and some say that it is the red agate of the south, but Gansu and other northern provinces also have the southern red, and its time definition is from the Han to the Qing Dynasty, and its shape is mostly beads or beads. Nowadays, the price of Nanhong in the market is the first of all kinds of agate, and there are often counterfeits.

The market of southern red agate has continued to rise in recent years. Due to the extremely low output and the extinction of the mine as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the top grade in the market circulation is very scarce. In March 2011, Beijing International Jewelry Exchange Center held the first high-standard exhibition of Nanhong Agate in China, with the theme of "The Return of Rare Nanhong", to show the rising collection and investment boom of Nanhong Agate to the world. The high-grade old agate with a better hue is even hotter, and sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a good agate.

The typical southern red agate is mainly produced in Yunnan, and the most representative area is in the agate mountain of Baoshan City. Xu Xiake once recorded: "Its color is white and red, all of which are not very big, only like a fist, and this is also a vine", which is the southern red agate.

Secondly, southern red agate is also produced in Gansu, Sichuan and other places, and is usually called "Gannan red". Nowadays, jewelry ornaments made of high-quality southern red agate are scarce, and the stock of good old southern red agate stones is also small.

"I remember that before 2010, the price of Laonan red agate beads may be thirty or fifty yuan each; Now the price of each Laonan red agate bead is about three or four hundred yuan, and some of the best Laonan red agate beads can be bought for thousands of yuan. Wu Shixiang smiled and asked: "Brother, is there a red man behind you?" ”

"Of course, there is a certain role for me in publicity, but it is just a matter of following the trend." Kuang Jingxia said a little proudly: "I gambled all my net worth to monopolize when Nanhong was the lowest, and my worth has doubled several times in just a few years. It turned out that my friends who were not optimistic admired my vision and courage, and they were naturally very proud. ”

It was getting darker and darker, and Kuang Jingxia drove his group to the nearest town, stayed for the night, and prepared to go back tomorrow afternoon.

"Xiaobai? What are you doing? After Wu Shixiang finished grooming, he watched Xiaobai holding a piece of rough stone that he brought back with great interest, and kept sniffing something with his nose?

"Woooooo Xiaobai grabbed the rough stone with his claws and roared, as if explaining something.

Wu Shixiang felt the message from Xiaobai's heart, and asked a little incredulously: "You mean you smelled a lot of this smell just now?" ”

Wu Shixiang's heart moved, and he said that a dog's sense of smell is thousands of times that of a human. In addition, the Tibetan mastiff is talented, and Xiaobai is the original mastiff king, maybe there will be an ability after the third-level enhancement?

"Okay, I'll go to the mine again tomorrow, so let's go around together." (To be continued.) )
