Song Xiaocui's mine didn't know how long it had been mining jade, and it had been walking more than ten meters away before it came to the end. Compared with the entrance to the cave, there is a lot of space inside, enough to be more than a zhang high.

There are also simple wooden shelves inside, which make it easy to stand on the shelves and dig the stones on them.

In addition to wooden shelves, there are also crowbars, chisels, hammers and other tools needed to dig stones.

Song Xiaocui found a place to hang the lantern and said to Jiang Feng: "Xiaojiang, this is our mine, grandpa said, it has been more than 200 years since the beginning of the excavation. It's a pity that the stratum here in our house is not good, and we haven't found the real jade layer. ”

Jiang Feng nodded, "Are your villages the same as your family?"

"Well, almost. Each family mines behind their own homes, but some families are lucky enough to make a lot of money by finding jade rock formations. Song Xiaocui said with some disappointment.

Jiang Feng is quite sympathetic to the grandchildren of the Song family, like Song Xiaocui's parents died early, one old and one young, there is no need to elaborate on the hardships, at the same time, mining jade is not the business of old people and women, it is not easy for them to survive.

Song Xiaocui thought that Jiang Feng was an amateur in jade mining, and took the initiative to introduce Jiang Feng to the general situation of jade mining.

And the most important part is the first step, to find the jade ore vein of jade, only by finding the vein, can you finally find the jade.

If you don't find a vein, even if you dig a hole in the mountain for dozens of meters, you may not be able to dig jade.

Jade is generally divided into several types, seed material, mountain material, mountain material, Song Xiaocui and their small mountain village mining is mountain material, want to find a jade source in a big mountain, without rich experience in identifying the source of minerals, it is simply impossible to complete.

Song Xiaocui stepped forward to introduce the three mineral sources of his own mine to Jiang Feng one by one, these three mineral sources, indeed, as Song Xiaocui said, the rock formation is not good, and the jade quality is inferior. Two of the ore layers have been mined, and there is still one piece left that can be seen as broken jade, but the quality of the jade is really not complimentary.

"Xiao Jiang, if we want to mine, we can only do it here. Song Xiaocui pointed to this mineral source and said.

Jiang Feng took a look at it and shook his head, it turned out that Song Xiaocui and his grandfather Song Laokan only processed and made small objects, and their family's ore layer only had such a little broken jade, what else could they process

"Sister Xiaocui, I'll try to do it, see if I'm lucky enough to find a good marble, you don't have to stay here, go and give me a kettle of water to drink, I'm a little thirsty." Jiang Feng stared at the mine layer and said.

Song Xiaocui was a little reluctant to leave, Jiang Feng was a decent person, he was making money every day, and Yaoxiang Pavilion had a prominent reputation under his experience, how could he do this kind of rough work by himself.

"Xiao Jiang, forget it, it's impossible to find a good jade. Song Xiaocui thought that Jiang Feng was in vain.

"I'll try, if I find a good jade, then we won't have to spend a lot of money on jade. Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Reluctantly reluctant, Song Xiaocui couldn't resist Jiang Feng, so she had to listen to Jiang Feng's words and go out to boil water for him to drink. She just wanted to go out in the dark, Jiang Feng had already taken off the lantern and handed it to her.

"Sister Xiaocui, give you illumination. Jiang Feng said.

"I don't need it, I can go out in the dark, how can I work without a lantern inside," Song Xiaocui said.

Jiang Feng flipped his hand and took out a night pearl and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Hehe, Sister Xiaocui, you see I have this, no problem. ”

The brightness of the Night Pearl is much stronger than that of a dim lantern, and as soon as the Night Pearl appears, the cave is immediately much brighter. Song Xiaocui was overjoyed, so she took the lantern with confidence and walked out along the cave.

Jiang Feng kept watching Song Xiaocui go out, and then he smiled and shook his head, what is thirsty, that is the way to spend Song Xiaocui, only by opening up Song Xiaocui, can he start working without scruples.

It is true that the eagle eye has a perspective function, but the perspective function is still defective, Jiang Feng has already used it just now, and he can only see the depth of the mountain a few meters, and then he can't see it clearly.

At a depth of a few meters around, there is not even a larger jade source.

Therefore, Hawkeye also has limitations here, and it is impossible to find a good jade source for the time being by relying on Hawkeye. But apart from Song Xiaocui, Jiang Feng had a better way to find the source of jade ore.

Embedding the night pearl in a sunken stone wall, Jiang Feng found a flat place, took out a futon in the dragon ring, meditated cross-legged, and his soul flew out as soon as his thoughts moved.

Out of the body, the soul of the river wind penetrated directly into the middle of the stone wall, swimming in the mountain like a swimming fish.

The soul has many advantages over the body, and penetrating the wall is one of the advantages, if you want the body to penetrate the hard stone wall, the toughness of the body is unimaginable, but the soul has no resistance in the slightest, only some more resistance than the air, but these resistance to the soul can be ignored.

Of course, the sight of the soul in the mountain is limited to varying degrees, and it is not much better than touching fish in the clear water. He could only swim and search around, and soon searched the area within ten meters of the cave.

But nothing was found, in this area, as Song Xiaocui said, there was no good source of jade, or rather, the rock formation they were located in was poor.

Jiang Feng didn't want to give up, and continued to intensify his search, expanding to an area of thirty meters.

At the edge of nearly thirty meters away, Jiang Feng finally found a good jade source, this jade mine is about two or three zhang square, and more than one zhang high, most of which are fist-sized jade, as well as a few pieces the size of a head, don't look at the area is not large, but the reserves are not small.

Following Song Xiaocui learned a lot of knowledge about jade, and also had a general understanding of the price of jade, Jiang Feng estimated around this area, and according to the quality of jade, it was conservatively estimated that this batch of jade was enough for several thousand gold baht.

It is indeed a large amount, and if this batch of jade is processed into various ornaments and carvings, the total value is not less than 10,000 gold baht.

It should be said that Jiang Feng found a treasure.

However, when the careful Jiang Feng circled around this jade area, he suddenly found a strange phenomenon, from the inside of the mountain, this area seems to be in the form of a jet, similar to the appearance of a trumpet flower, and at the edge of the trumpet flower, the quality of the jade is obviously not as good as the middle, but the best is the root of the trumpet flower.

If you dig along the cave, even if you hollow out this area, you may not feel the difference, only the soul of the river wind, swimming freely around the jade area, is the first glimpse.

In this regard, Jiang Feng was puzzled, he did not immediately retreat, but chose to continue searching.
