"Xiao Qiao, aren't you going to be a drunken crab, Uncle Wang specially caught it for you from Spring City, waiting for you to do it", Luo Xiaoni said as she walked from outside the hall.

"Ah, Lord Wang, Er Shao, you are all here", she raised her eyes and saw the others, and was immediately startled.

"Sister", Luo Xiaoqiao shouted happily when she saw her.

"Girl, what drunken crab? Do you want to make something delicious again? I ate here in the evening, remember to prepare my meal. Feng Chenhao said with a smile.

"Okay, ten taels of silver, pay enough for food, and two less at will." Luo Xiaoqiao also replied with a smile.

"Have you gotten into the eyes of the money?" Feng Chenhao didn't understand the characteristics of her gold-absorbing beast, and gave her so much dividends and silver every year, just one meal, and he was embarrassed to ask for money.

"Brother, settle the account", Luo Xiaoqiao said with a smile: "Let's go, hurry back, Uncle Wang specially found it from the rice field, if it weren't for me, you would never have eaten such a delicious thing." ”

"Yo, then I have to taste it", Feng Chenhao clicked his mouth and followed them back slowly.

Because of Luo Xiaoni's presence, a few men couldn't get too close, and they were about ten meters behind.

"Xiao Qiao, let me tell you, Dr. Shen showed Sister-in-law Luo and said that she should be pregnant with a male fetus", Luo Xiaoni said.

"Eldest sister, you haven't passed the door yet, and you care about your future sister-in-law?" Luo Xiaoqiao laughed at her.

Luo Xiaoni couldn't help but twist her waist, making Luo Xiaoqiao laugh and jump away.

"Kill him, grab the things for me", suddenly a few children who met with dirt rolled out of the grass, and were chasing a seven or eight-year-old boy, the boy didn't see the road, and fell headlong on Luo Xiaoqiao, and immediately hit her.

"Well, what's going on?" Luo Xiaoni hurriedly pulled her, and a few men behind saw this and rushed over in a few steps.

A little fat man of twelve or thirteen years old, panting and pressing his knees, pointed at the boy and said, "Wood, you hand me over the stone, I won't beat you today, or ......."

Seeing this, the seven or eight-year-old boy hid behind Luo Xiaoqiao, but he didn't come out.

The little fat man looked at the clothes of the adults in front of him, and suddenly shrank a little, and waved his hand at the little follower behind him: "Don't let me bump into me next time, go"

After the people walked away, Luo Xiaoqiao dragged the child out from behind: "Wood, what's the matter?" Good and good, what are they chasing you for? ”

This child is still an acquaintance, the grandson of the old man who bought fish from Luo Xiaoqiao before.

"Sister Xiao Qiao, they want to rob me of my things", the boy was a little unhappy, and his nose was red.

"What is it, can you show me?" Luo Xiaoqiao bent down and asked.

"That's it," the child said, spreading out his contents.

Luo Xiaoqiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was an inconspicuous stone, which shimmered in the sunlight, and looked a bit like ground glass.

She was a little excited, and took the stone under her nose again to look at it carefully. Rhomboid-shaped dodecahedron, triangular dissolution pits, and shiny ......

This is...... It's diamond! Natural diamond! Luo Xiaoqiao was overjoyed.

You must know that although Tianji Pavilion is powerful, it still mainly relies on the skills of the craftsmen themselves.

She had seen Old Man Wang and them process iron pipes with her own eyes. It is to put the red-hot iron plate on the model, keep knocking, continue to burn red after cooling, continue to beat, and insert a round iron rod when it is about to close, or beat.

Even if they also use vertical lathes and bicycle lathes for refinement, the efficiency is extremely low, and it is good to be able to make one part in a day. This also led to the fact that they have been investing a lot of manpower and material resources for almost a year, and only a few steam engines have been made.

If you can find a large amount of diamond, make it into a milling cutter, and then make it into a milling machine...... That's not a slight increase in efficiency.

"Tell me, wood, where did you find this?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked by pressing his shoulder.

Mu Jingyi saw that her expression was wrong, and she also took the stone and observed it carefully: "This is a diamond!" ”

Luo Xiaoqiao glared at him, all stunned, how could he know?

"Lord Wang, do you know?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"I don't know, but I vaguely remember a book about this stone. It is said that "diamond sand can be drilled jade and repair porcelain, so it is called drill", sometimes when some gold and silver mines are washed, there will be this kind of thing, they feel useless, and it is not easy to polish, so it is thrown away. ”

Thrown away...... Luo Xiaoqiao felt a crow flying overhead. Diamonds, which are coveted in modern times, are just thrown away.

"Wood, you said, where did you find it", there is no useful news from others, Luo Xiaoqiao is still mainly attacking wood, and he has to find some clues today.

"An uncle gave it to me, I helped him run an errand, went to the city to deliver a letter, he gave me five cents to run an errand, and when he saw that I liked this, he threw it to me", Mu Tou said innocently.

"Can you still find him?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

Mu was a little hesitant: "That uncle was injured, and he wouldn't let me say ......"

"Wood, you know who my sister is, right? My sister is not a bad person, she will not harm him, and I have a doctor at home, and I can help him heal. You took me to him, and when I found it, I'll give you a tael of silver, how about it? At a critical time, Luo Xiaoqiao still took out money to tempt minors.

Afraid that he wouldn't take the bait, he took out the finished peach crisp biscuits from his pocket, as well as a lot of candy, and stuffed them into the wooden hand: "You take it, if you find someone, I'll send you another pound of candy when I go home." ”

If a tael of silver can't shake him, then as soon as this sugar-coated cannonball came out, the wood immediately forgot what he promised: "That...... Then I'll take you to see, if the uncle doesn't want to, you can't force him", the child still has a good conscience and knows how to defend others.

"Go", Luo Xiaoqiao urged him.

"Lord Wang, do you want to go back to my house first and wait?" She walked a few steps and remembered, followed by three beggers.

"No, let's go and see," Mu Jingyi said.

"Okay. That sister, you go and talk to grandpa first, don't let him worry, we should delay for a while before coming back", Luo Xiaoqiao instructed Luo Xiaoni again.

Fortunately, Luo Xiaoni is reliable, "Okay, Xiao Qiao, you go early and come back early, I'll go home and prepare the meal first."

The wood led the way, jumped and walked south, and stopped at the location of a land temple: "This is it, the uncle sat here that day"

Luo Xiaoqiao was just about to walk forward, Mu Jingyi pulled her and asked loudly into the room: "My surname is Mu, I have no malicious intentions, can Brother Tai come out and see him?" ”

There was no sound inside.

"Are you leaving?" Luo Xiaoqiao was a little disappointed.

Mu Jingyi continued to ask: "Brother Tai doesn't come out, don't blame us for breaking in?" ”

…… There seemed to be no obstacle to entering, and there was a man sitting on the haystack, looking at his beard, but there was no nervousness in his eyes: "What are you doing when a few people break into me?" ”

Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "This uncle, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to ask you if there is such a stone."

She said as she handed the diamond out of her hand.
