Zheng Xiujin and his son glanced at each other, not knowing what his father meant by stopping him at this time, but he still took off the back basket containing quarrying tools on his back.

After entering the house, he saw that his father was already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, his face was refreshed, he didn't look like he was seriously ill at all, and he was in a better state than before he was sick, how could this not make Zheng Xiujin suspicious?

Father, I'm afraid it's not, go back to the light, right?

Zheng Xiujin suppressed his heavy mood and walked over with a forced smile, "Dad, why don't you sleep more?" ”

Zheng's father glanced at his son, how could he not see what he was thinking at this time?

"Don't worry, I'm in good health, I didn't ask you to come to confess my last words, I haven't seen Brother Fu marry a wife and have children, where is my old man willing to die?"

"Bah, bah, if you say something dead, Dad, you will definitely live a long life."

Zheng's father: "After you left last night, I saw the jade slave again, she gave me a jade bead, saying that this jade bead has the ability to distinguish jadeite, and the jade bead is worn on the body to gamble on the stone, if there is jade in the wool, the jade bead will be hot, the better the quality of the jadeite, the higher the temperature of the jade bead." ”

Zheng Xiujin only felt that he was listening to the Arabian Nights, and he was incompetent for a long time with his mouth open.

Zheng's father also knew that he didn't believe it, so he took out the jade bead that his daughter gave him and handed it to his son, "You can take it and test it." ”

It just so happens that the Zheng family has a few pieces of wool, although the Zheng family was defeated, but it was once the first jade family, with a good heritage, there are a few pieces of wool that have been passed down from the ancestors, the quality is excellent, and the probability of opening jadeite is extremely high.

This is the foundation of the Zheng family's turnover, so no matter how difficult it is for the Zheng family over the years, they have not sold those few pieces of wool.

Zheng Xiujin grabbed a small jade bead and came out of the house in a trance.

"Dad, what is grandpa looking for you?" Zheng Feibai greeted him.

Zheng Xiujin took a deep breath, but didn't speak, only ordered: "Go, bring up the few pieces of wool hidden in our cellar." ”

"Huh?"

"Ahh

"Oh."

There were five pieces of wool, the largest being the size of a bathtub and the smallest being the size of a watermelon, and it took a lot of effort for the father and son to move them out of the cellar.

Zheng Xiujin held the jade bead in his left hand, walked to one of the pieces of wool, and touched it with his right hand.

At that moment, the jade bead in his left hand, which was originally cold, suddenly became hot, and the temperature was still rising, as if it was about to burn through his palm.

Zheng Xiujin: "!! ”

He retracted his hand suddenly, and the temperature of the jade bead in his left hand gradually decreased.

He continued to experiment, but when he touched the second piece of wool, Yuzhu didn't react in the slightest.

There were three pieces left, and only one made the jade beads hot, but the temperature was completely incomparable to the first one.

Zheng Feibai watched his father's strange behavior from the sidelines, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what are you doing?" ”

Zheng Xiujin forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, "Bring the guy who solved the stone." ”

Zheng Feibai was overjoyed, "Dad, are you finally willing to untie these pieces of wool?" The speed thief quickly took the thing and handed it over, "Give." ”

Zheng Xiujin untied a piece of wool that did not warm up the jade beads, he did not take it slowly, but very simply and rudely fixed the chisel on a certain part of the wool, and then hit it vigorously with a hammer.

After a few clicks, the wool cracks a gap in it and splits in two.

Although there is no electricity and machines in this era, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite, there are special stone solving machines, and there are special jade cutting machines for carving jade, jade and stone, the essence is the same, so the principle of stone solving machine and jade cutting machine is the same, but the jade grinding machine is more subtle.

Both are made of the prototype of the rotary car, there are stones on the rotary car, sitting on the high stool connected with the rotary car during the actual operation, constantly stepping on it like treading water wheel, driven by manpower, the stone in front of the rotary car will rotate rapidly, to achieve the purpose of grinding jade.

Sometimes there is a need for someone in front of you to cooperate in changing the position of the jade and sprinkling water on the jade.

Therefore, the rotary car is also called a water mill.

In addition to this kind of foot spin car, there is also a more convenient and small car spin car, which can use the handle to drive the stone, so that one person can also operate it.

In addition to the grinding stone, some rotary cars will also be equipped with a grinding plate, the grinding stone is opposite to the point, and the grinding plate is opposite, and a large piece of stone can be cut directly.

What Zheng Feibai brought was a small stone dissolving machine that could be operated with a handle, but Zheng Xiujin was useless at all, because at this moment he had already believed his father's statement, and there was no jade in the piece of wool to be solved, so naturally there was no need to be so careful and slow to ponder.

And the section exposed after the stone is cracked, there is indeed no shadow of jadeite.

Afraid that he would make a mistake, Zheng Xiujin also used a hammer to smash the two halves of the stone, but there was still no jade.

It seems that what my father said is true!

The supernatural function of the jade bead was verified, and Zheng Xiujin's whole person trembled with excitement.

Zheng Feibai mistakenly thought that his father had been hit, after all, he had treasured the wool for so many years, but after unraveling it, he didn't see the jadeite, and no one could stand it.

"Dad, it doesn't matter if this piece doesn't come out, we still have four more pieces, and there must be one that can be opened."

Zheng Xiujin grinned, and her whole face stretched out. As the actual head of this family, the burden of life is on his body, and he has not laughed so heartily for a long time, but at this moment, if he does not care about his neighbors, he can't wait to look up to the sky and laugh three times.

"Dad knows, Dad is not disappointed, Dad is happy."

Zheng Feibai was even more worried.

"Let's move these two pieces back." Zheng Xiujin was referring to the two pieces of wool that made Yuzhu hot before.

The other two jade beads did not react, and he moved directly to the corner.

put away the jade beads closely, and he still took his son out to quarry.

Although he now has the jade bead, Zheng Xiujin knows the truth of his guilt, so he doesn't plan to make any changes for the time being, and when he thinks about how to use the jade bead without a trace, it's not too late to act.

At noon, the father and son, who had been busy all morning, found a place with shade and sat down to eat the cakes prepared by their daughter-in-law (daughter-in-law) in the morning.

Just as he was gulping down, a neighbor ran over panting, "Zheng, Brother Zheng, Feibai, something is wrong!" Brother Fu was hit by a car and shed a lot of blood! When I sent it back, I was out of gas—"

Before this person's words fell, Zheng Feibai had already rushed past him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The cake in Zheng Xiujin's hand fell to the ground, and the moment he got up, his eyes were dark, he staggered back a few steps, his foot was tripped by a stone, and he sat on the ground.

The neighbor hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Brother Zheng, you can't fall." ”

Yes, he can't fall, what can he do if he falls a big family?

Zheng Xiujin relied on his strength and stood firm with the help of his neighbor's hand, "Go." ”
