The next morning, around half past six. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meizi got up early, and soon got breakfast out, Fei Xiaohong was more delicious and lazy, I shouted several times in the courtyard to her house and no one answered, it is estimated that she slept fragrantly, at the end, I was too lazy to wait for her, I went back to the house to finish breakfast first, and Meizi informed, then picked up a few gadgets and went out to the BMW, turned around, and drove towards Li Junta. The gadget that was going to be given to Zou Yue'e hasn't been found yet, so it's a big deal.
When I arrived at Li Jun Pagoda, I carried the magnet and searched for the traces of the meteorite again in the area that I had not looked for.
At this rate, it seems that it will not be long before the vicinity of the Golden Pagoda can be swept aside.
One hour ...... Two-hour ...... Three-hour ...... The farther I went, the fewer the stones, and by the time I had finished searching a large area around Li Junta, it was already twelve o'clock at noon. However, to my dismay, the magnet did not react again, that is, there were no meteorites here except for the one I found yesterday. How so? My heart sank, leaning on the BMW down the hillside, I hugged my shoulders and was silent.
What went wrong?
Could it be the butterfly effect? Someone else picked up the stone in advance? Or is there something wrong with my memory?
I tried to recall the news of my previous life again, it was shortly after the end of the spring shooting, a joke broadcast on Yanjing TV, as for Yanjing science and education or Yanjing life station, I don't remember clearly, anyway, the TV simply said that the small meteorite that was auctioned at a sky-high price was found by a foreign tourist when he traveled to Yinchuan in March, it is said that the stone was a meteorite that fell near the Golden Pagoda, and later, after the tourist returned home, one day unintentionally, his wife discovered the unusual meteorite, The couple hurriedly took it to the Jewelry Appraisal Association and the gem laboratory of the University of Geosciences, and finally put it up for auction. As for the details and other details, Xu was afraid of getting into trouble, but the tourist refused to reveal a word.
After chewing it repeatedly, my brow furrowed more and more.
Am I taking it for granted?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the news did not say that the tourist personally picked up the meteorite around the Golden Pagoda, so is it possible that the local people picked up the meteorite a long time ago, but the tourist took a fancy to it and bought it from others, and then knew from the mouth of the person that the meteorite was found near the Golden Pagoda, and then the tourist forwarded the words to the reporter, which was on the news, and I took it for granted that I misunderstood?
It's possible!
However, if it has been picked up by others a long time ago, this range will be too large!
Not to mention the whole Yinchuan, a few nearby towns and villages are a big problem, so many people, who knows who picked it up?
I rubbed my head in distress, shook my head, buried this possible surname in my heart for the time being, took out the phone and called the store at the entrance of Meizijia Village, and when the other party called Meizi to answer the phone, I told her not to go back to eat at noon, and then, expanding the scope a little, holding the magnet, began to look for it far away outside the Golden Pagoda.
Half-hour...... An hour ......, "Hey, little classmate, what are you doing here?" "An old Hui man came from a distance.
I stopped and looked up, and put the magnet down, "...... Oh, hello uncle, I'm looking to see if there are any good stones. ”
The old Hui man looked at the magnet suspiciously, but he didn't ask much, and pointed to the hill at the far end, "You're not from Ningxia, are you?" They usually go to the mountains to look for stones, there are no near here, you can go to the mountains and have a look. After speaking, the old man of the Hui nationality glanced at my magnet again, turned his head and left.
I hurriedly shouted to him: "By the way, uncle, please ask you something, are there any people who often come to the Golden Pagoda to pick up stones?" ”
The old man shook his head: "No one came here to pick it up." ”
I said, "So, who in the neighborhood likes to collect or pick up stones?" ”
The old man thought for a moment, "Strange stones?" Well, it seems that the old Niu family in the East Village is doing this, he usually always comes to the mountains to find stones, and if there are good ones, he will take them back and sell them, I heard that there are a lot of good stones at home, and he came back to Shanghai last time, and spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy a piece, how, do you want to buy it too? ”
"Yes, can you sue me his address? Thank you. ”
The old man said a few words to me, pointed in the direction again, and then walked away.
In addition to wolfberries and some local specialties in Yinchuan, strange stones are also relatively famous.
Song Yingxing of the Ming Dynasty "Tiangong Kaiwu" contains "agate is not stone and non-jade, there are many places in China, and the top grade is produced in the sand moraine of Ningxia Waiqiang Land", which is the earliest account of Ningxia's strange stones. Sitting on Helan Mountain and the Yellow River, the two strange stone resources, and is the main distribution center of Inner Mongolia Alxa strange stone, after nearly ten years of market cultivation, Yinchuan has become the capital of strange stones in northern China, here, is the real place to produce strange stones, like I have been to Yanjing Huairou Mountains and Forests before, compared with Yinchuan, Huairou's strange stones are not worth mentioning at all.
"Producing strange stones" and "having strange stones" are two completely different concepts.
I didn't find a meteorite on the side of the Golden Tower, so I could only put my last hope on Lao Niu's house. On the way to the East Village, I took the time to get out of the car and inquire with the villagers, sure enough, the strange stones near the Golden Pagoda have almost no production, so most of the professional stone players are near the northern mountains or Yinchuan City, and only the old Niu family in the village here is tinkering with strange stones, of course, it is not professional, it belongs to the kind of ticket surname.
The entrance of a small farm yard.
I got out of the BMW and walked towards a half-open paint door, "Excuse me, is this Uncle Niu's house?" ”
"Yes, you bought stones? Come on in. It was a male voice who answered.
The courtyard is very lively, I saw when I got closer, there were about seven or eight men and women inside, the one who spoke was a middle-aged man of the Han nationality, the skin was very tanned, the eight achievements were Uncle Niu, and the other people were dressed very exquisitely and fashionably, and at first glance it was a tourist from a big city from other places, at this time, several tourists were bending down to look at the large and small stones in the courtyard, these stones were of different colors, with the agate stone of Alxa and the Gobi stone such as "northern stone" mostly.
"How do you sell this piece?" A woman points to a small Gobi stone path.
Uncle Niu looked down, "...... This three hundred. ”
The woman shook her head and bargained, "Cheaper, two hundred, right?" ”
I didn't go to them, but went far to the corner, took out a small button-shaped magnet from my pocket, secretly sandwiched it between my fingers, squatted down, and touched it stone by stone, although I knew that some agate stones and Gobi stones would not be sucked, but in the spirit of caution, I tried them one by one.
Together with the few pieces on the windowsill, there are more than 30 stones of different sizes in the courtyard.
After I avoided the sight of Uncle Niu and a few tourists and touched them all, sure enough, the magnet did not react at all, but accidentally sucked a pushpin on a window sill, almost pricking my hand. I'm so depressed in my heart, don't mention it.
Not here?
That's terrible, Yinchuan is so big, where can I find that meteorite?
My mind is a little messy, I thought that the meteorite was so easy to identify, it should be easy to come to Yinchuan to get it, who wants to make a mistake in the end, what to do? That's the love gift I am going to give to Aunt Zou, and it is also something that is bound to be obtained on this trip to the field!
"That's all you have here? What other good stone doesn't? Over there, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket asked.
Uncle Niu was about to shake his head, but maybe he thought of something, and shouted to the back room, "Second son, move that stone out of the back room!" The inside agreed, and soon after, the young man, who looked like Uncle Niu's second son, came out panting, holding an oval stone with a diameter of thirty centimeters, put it on the ground, and retreated back into the house.
The man in the jacket squatted down strangely and touched it: "What kind of stone is this?" Is this also called a strange stone? ”
The rest of the tourists also looked away. I only heard Uncle Niu say vaguely: "This is not a strange stone, but it is not a small source, I picked it up with the outside of the village a long time ago, when the stone fell in a big soil pit, it seems to be smashed out, I don't know what kind of stone it is, so I asked a person who often plays with stones in Yinchuan, he asked me to try the magnet, I tried it, and I sucked it at once, and then the man told me that it might be a meteorite, falling from the sky." ”
The man in the jacket frowned: "Meteorite? ”
I'm still thinking about things, my attention is not here, but at this time I am too sensitive to the word "meteorite", hearing this, I am in high spirits, "Meteorite? Uncle Niu, where did you pick up this stone? Without saying a word, I paced over, holding the button-shaped magnet in my hand, and gently touched the oval stone, snap, and with a heavy hand, the magnet reacted!
I almost laughed out loud!
Uncle Niu thought and pointed outside: "Li Junta picked it up over there." ”
Yes! Eighty percent of it is!
As soon as I lowered my head, I looked at this stone carefully, its surface was all gray soil, but I couldn't see the black molten shell, except that the skin of the stone was a little rough and rough, no matter the color or appearance, it was no different from the big stones in the ordinary mountain forest. Originally, for the sake of insurance, I should have taken a water flush to see what it looked like, but many people around me watched, and I was afraid that as soon as that thing appeared, the stone would have an accident, so I didn't have any impulsiveness.
I said, "Do you have any other meteorites here?" ”
Uncle Niu shook his head and said, "No, how can meteorites be so easy to find?" Do you want to? ”
The man in the jacket asked, "How much?" ”
Uncle Niu pondered for a moment, and said boldly: "One thousand five! "In fact, it is said that such a large meteorite should be far more than this price, but after all, there are too few collectors who collect meteorites, and I am afraid that there are not a few people in the whole Yinchuan, the market is small, no one wants it, and it is naturally difficult to sell things, and the value will come down.
As soon as I heard Qianfi, I didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
Uncle Niu and the man in the jacket were stunned.
If there was no one around, of course I would have to bargain with him, but with so many people around, if someone else opened up and offered the price, the thing would not be mine. In order not to be surprised, I took out my wallet, took out 1,500 yuan and handed it over, "Here, you count." ”
Uncle Niu grinned: "...... Good. ”
The man in the jacket looked at me, then at the stone, and shook his head disapprovingly, as if to laugh at me.
A woman behind him said, "Old Wang, you also have a crush on that meteorite?" ”
The man in the jacket turned around: "The appreciation space of the meteorite is too small, and the relative value is not high, there is no need to collect it, let's take a look at the strange stone, I bought it this year, maybe I can turn it over next year." ”
I picked up the meteorite contentedly, not to mention, it was too heavy compared to ordinary rocks.
It took me a long time to move to the trunk, I stepped on the accelerator and drove back to Meizi's house excitedly, until I carried the stone into the yard, and the smile on my lips still did not fade.
Meizi looked at me strangely: "Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?" What to laugh at? ”
I happily called a basin of well water, "It's nothing, I picked up a stone, by the way, where is Sister Hong?" ”
"Sister Hong went to bed again after eating."
I laughed and said, "Okay, little lazy pig, you're busy, I might have to go out in the afternoon." When Meizi entered the house, I rubbed my hands excitedly, exhaled, and regardless of the cold water, I directly put my hand in, poured water on the meteorite, and washed the stone little by little with a brush.
The clean-up process went smoothly, the dust peeled off layer by layer, and the black molten shell and air marks soon appeared in front of you.
One centimeter...... Five centimeters...... Ten centimeters...... The exposed area of the molten shell gradually expanded, and suddenly, a beige trace jumped into my eyeballs, which was obviously not the same color as the black molten shell and was embedded on the surface of the meteorite, and from the texture point of view, it was also completely different from the surrounding meteorite, the area was not large, and it was not very eye-catching.
But when I saw it, I was so excited that I just wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
The gadgets I'm looking for...... That's it!!
Squeak, the door of the north house opened, and Fei Xiaohong, who was sleepy, came out and glanced at me, "Hmph, what are you smiling at?" ”
I knew that she was still a little angry, so I didn't care, and said with a smile: "My business is done, if you want to buy clothes or something, try to buy them as soon as possible in the afternoon, it's okay to buy more, no more than 200,000, well, and then prepare to prepare, let's go back to Yanjing tomorrow morning." ”
Fei Xiaohong looked at me, "...... Have you eaten? ”
"Well, not yet."
"Go back to the house and wait, I'll give you a hot meal!" As soon as she turned around, Sister Hong entered the kitchen.
I smiled at her back, didn't say anything, lowered my head and continued to clean up the dust on the meteorite, after doing this, the meal was also hot, I went back to the house and hurriedly ate a few bites, I took the meteorite into the trunk, and carried Sister Hong and Meizi to Yinchuan City.
At the entrance of a commercial mall, I put them down in the car and said, "I'll do something, you can buy whatever you want, clothes, household appliances, food, it doesn't matter what you buy, anyway, I'll reimburse you when the time comes, Meizi, you're welcome, you can buy whatever you like." ”
The plum is a little twisted.
Fei Xiaohong smiled and pulled Meizi: "This guy has money, don't save him." ”
I smiled and said, "That's it, I'll go first, and I'll pick you up in two hours." ”
I drove around the city of Yinchuan twice, trying to find a shop that sells jadeite wool, but I asked a lot of people, and no one knew where it was, but I saw a few jadeite finished product stores, but there were no cutters. Helplessly, I finally inquired about a pottery shop from a newsstand aunt, and borrowed a gear cutter from their owner that I had never seen before, the kind with a seat, uh, maybe it is not called a cutter in its professional term, but it can be used anyway.
After giving the boss a thousand dollars, I opened a pottery room, went in with a stone and a cutter, and closed the door with my backhand.
All I'm going to do is separate that little thing from the meteorite.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, I took the machine that was very uncomfortable, and let the gears rub against the meteorites around the beige. Maybe it's the power of the cutter or the hardness of the gear, or maybe it's the relationship between the meteorite with higher metal elements being harder than the jadeite wool, and the cutting speed is very slow, and a minute has passed before it can cut a deep mark on the surface of the meteorite. However, now that the things are in hand, the last thing I lack is patience.
Half-hour...... One hour ...... At 3:05 p.m., there was a click, and the beige substance fell to the ground, and it was finally separated.
I wiped the sweat from my head, took off my coat, squatted on the ground and continued to clean up the meteorite debris covering the yellow substance little by little, and when it was final, I took water and washed this small meteorite, wiped it dry, and a smile hung on the corner of my mouth, it was exactly the same as the auction display picture I saw on TV!
This bead does not seem to be amazing, very ordinary, it is a natural round sphere, beige, opaque, weighing more than 40 carats, with a diameter of 1.75-1.80, just like an ordinary round stone, even if I throw it casually on the street, it is estimated that no one will look at it, well, it is such an inconspicuous small round bead, but it surprised everyone at the auction a few months later!
That's 235 million!
However, the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, I resisted the restlessness in my heart, took a deep breath, and did a small test with great anticipation, I wanted to see if under certain conditions, the meteorite beads are not as beautiful as mentioned in TV, don't be blind?
After a minute, my heart beat noticeably faster, and at this point, the last trace of apprehension in my heart dissipated.
It's so beautiful!
There is a saying that people should not be disguised, and it seems that this is really true!
I sat on the chair and sweated, waited for a while, and then quickly left the pottery shop, went to the shop outside to buy a jewelry box, thought about it, still not at ease, wrapped a handkerchief a few times, and finally, carefully put it in my pocket, and drove towards the commercial building where Fei Xiaohong was.
Everything is ready, I can finally return to Yanjing!
