Chapter 599: Gems and Cotton
I saw that in the enamel box, there was a box full of gems of various colors.
In addition to sapphires and ruby tophires, there are diamonds.
"Grandmother, look at this thing, it's pink.
However, the locals say that most of these stones are colorless.
I think this color is special, so I specially picked a few big ones for you to bring over to play. ”
Ning Mian'er stretched out her finger and pointed to the pink diamonds in the box that were the size of her thumb, and said to Ning Pengpeng.
Next to those pink diamonds, there were diamonds of about the same size and no color, and Ning Mian'er looked disgusted.
Ning Pengpeng stretched out his hand and took it out, couldn't help but lift it up, and looked at it carefully.
I saw that the diamond, when it turned in her hand, reflected a colorful light, which simply blinded her titanium alloy eyes.
The diamond she was holding in her hand was obviously uncut, and it was already so dazzling.
In modern times, if a diamond of this size is perfectly cut, it must be at least a few million Mani in size, right?
Not to mention, there are also those pink diamonds, which really inspired her girlish heart!
In addition, those gems of various colors, each of which is the size of a pigeon's egg, must be very happy to see it as long as it is a woman.
"Hahaha, the cotton is really good, this gift, grandmother likes it very much."
Ning Pengpeng unceremoniously praised Ning Mian'er.
Hearing her grandmother praise her second sister like this, Ning Cheng'er also took out her gift.
"Grandmother, this is something Cheng'er found in that place, and I don't know if it's useful."
Ning Cheng'er's box is an ordinary wooden box, but when she gets closer, she smells a little faint fragrance.
Ning Pengpeng saw that Ning Mian'er gave her a box of gems and diamonds, and she was also very curious about the contents of Ning Cheng'er's box.
I took it, opened it, and suddenly opened my mouth wide.
Ma Dan, she thought that what Ning Mian'er gave her was enough to shock her.
But now seeing the gift that Ning Cheng'er gave her, Ning Pengpeng raised her head and glanced deeply at Ning Cheng'er.
If this thing is handed in, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to get involved in that dispute, right?
However, if such a good thing is not handed over, Ning Pengpeng thinks of the people over there in Saibei, with this thing, how many people in Saibei will have to freeze to death every year?
That's right, Ning Cheng'er's box contains a box of cotton.
Ning Cheng'er just felt that such a snowflake-like thing was very peculiar.
However, it was all over the place, so she packed a box and brought it back to her grandmother to show her a strange thing.
Unexpectedly, my grandmother was so shocked, and her heart moved slightly.
"Grandmother, what's the use of this thing?"
Ning Pengpeng nodded with a very strange face, first let Qing Niang hold the box of gems, picked up a cotton flower from Cheng'er's box, and stretched out her hand to pull it.
I saw that this snow-white thing was wrapped in a few black seeds.
"Hey, is this a seed?"
Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er took a look, but they didn't expect that there would be black seeds in this snow-white thing, and there were quite a few.
Seeing that there were seeds, Ning Pengpeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
If you have seeds, you can breed them.
She didn't care about the box of gems, but just called Ning Cheng'er and Ning Mian'er together to tear up all the cotton in this box, and then pulled out a lot of cotton seeds.
However, Ning Cheng'er had picked these cotton pieces to show Ning Pengpeng a surprise, although it was a box, but this cotton was a tent.
In fact, there are really few of them.
The cotton seeds pulled out of these cotton flowers, Ning Pengpeng estimated that they could only plant two points of land at most, which was not enough.
However, as long as the cotton seeds in these two fields are planted, more cotton will grow next year, and there will be no fear of running out of seeds.
Seeing her grandmother happily holding the cotton seeds pulled out, she returned to the yard as if she was holding a baby, Ning Mian'er couldn't help but stomp her feet.
"Eldest sister, grandmother is eccentric and likes the gift you give."
Ning Cheng'er stared at her grandmother's distant back, thinking about her grandmother's expression when she looked at the thing she sent, thoughtfully.
Hearing the second sister's words, she turned around and scratched her nose.
"How old are you, still coquettish?
Whether it was me or you, didn't I see my grandmother happily take it back!
Also, when did you get all those stones? ”
Ning Cheng'er looked at those stones just now, and she felt that if they were polished and made into jewelry, they would definitely look good.
Hearing the eldest sister ask like this, Ning Mian'er suddenly raised her head a little proudly, and then replied.
"Didn't the fourth uncle say that he found ore on that earthworm island before!
So, I thought, since there is ore on that earthworm island, there must be one in the place we go to.
It's just that I didn't learn very well from there, and the locals only took me to this beautiful stone place.
I saw that this stone was so beautiful, so I exchanged a piece of porcelain for such a box.
Our pearls can be sold at a high price, and this beautiful stone, if made into jewelry, must also look good. ”
Hearing the second sister say this, it was exactly what Ning Cheng'er thought.
Ning Cheng'er thought about it for a while, and then said to Ning Mian'er.
"Second sister, if you can, next time you go there, if you find a place with this kind of stone again, buy that place, and then mine it all and bring it all back."
"Eldest sister, you want to go with me!
However, I think it's not just this kind of stone.
Ideally, gold, silver or iron ore can also be found.
The fourth uncle said that the mines on Earthworm Island were all returned to the imperial court.
I don't believe it, it's so far away from the Great Jin Dynasty, it's impossible for the imperial court to send someone to take it over, right? ”
As soon as she thought that the mines on Earthworm Island had been taken over by the imperial court, Ning Mian'er felt unhappy.
Why did you give away the things you found to others for free?
Even if it's the imperial court, that's not good.
Ning Cheng'er didn't expect that the second sister would think like this.
For a moment, he was a little speechless.
After all, she's right.
Several mines on Earthworm Island were discovered by the fourth uncle.
In Futai Mansion, Cheng Jinyuan sneezed continuously, then rubbed his nose and tightened his clothes.
It's summer, why are you still cold?
Thinking of the past few days, Master Futai has been busy with the students' township exams, and he can't get sick at this critical juncture.
It doesn't matter whether the medicine is bitter or not, first find a few pairs of medicine for the treatment of wind and cold, and drink it.
Sure enough, after eating it, the whole person was much better.
Whether Cheng Jinyuan had a wind chill or not, it is unknown.
However, Xu Jizhong, after entering the examination hall, felt hot during the day, so he took off his coat, and when he went to bed at night, he accidentally blew the wind, and when he got up the next day, he was dizzy!
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
