Jiang Xiaobai entered Wang Xiuyun's house, and saw that although the house was simple, it was neatly cleaned up, and it didn't look like a bachelor at all.

Under the head of the house, there is an old table of eight immortals, on which are placed two stones and a teacup.

Those two stones immediately attracted Jiang Xiaobai's attention.

I saw that the two stones were one big and one small, the big one was like a small basin, and the small one was only the size of a plate. Both stones are cleanly washed, and both are blue-gray on the outside, with white crystals of different sizes on them, which look very much like chrysanthemums one by one. The petals are crystal clear, lifelike in shape, and rich in layers.

"Uncle, where did you get this stone?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the two stones and asked.

Wang Xiuyun smiled: "It's on the back mountain, I dug it out when I was digging the tree lumps, and it looks a little good, so I carried it back and washed it as an ornament." ”

looked at Jiang Xiaobai's appearance and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you, and I'll help you move it to the car when you go back." ”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't say whether he wanted it or not, but asked, "Uncle, did you dig up these two pieces?" ”

Wang Xiuyun said: "There are still a lot of these kinds of stones on the mountain, but they are all large, so I will bring back two small ones." ”

When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle, what do you think the pattern on this stone looks like?" ”

Wang Xiuyun said: "It's like a white chrysanthemum!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "That's right, this kind of stone is called chrysanthemum stone, which is a good ornamental stone, and it has high economic value when developed." ”

Wang Xiuyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and sneered: "It's just a stone, what economic value can it have?" Can it still be sold for money? ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Of course you can sell it for money, and you can make a lot of money in the future." ”

"Really?"

Wang Xiuyun couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard him say this, but he still asked in disbelief.

Wang Xiang couldn't help but say, "Xiaobai, you say this stone is really valuable?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded again and said, "Uncle, you take me to a place where there is such a stone first." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

Wang Xiuyun immediately said, went out with Wang Xiang and Jiang Xiaobai, and went straight to the back mountain.

The vegetation in the back mountain is not luxuriant, and the further you go up the mountain, the more trees and grass there are, which can be described as overgrown with weeds.

Wang Xiang said: "We lack firewood here, and we can't compare to your Jiangwan." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Chrysanthemum stones are much more valuable than firewood, as long as there are more chrysanthemum stones here, after mining them and processing and selling them, you can buy as much firewood as you want." ”

Wang Xiuyun and Wang Xiang were both excited.

Halfway up the back mountain, there is a large stone forest, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the blue-black stones are exposed outside, and white spots can be seen everywhere on the stones.

"It's chrysanthemum stone!"

Although most of those white spots did not show the form of chrysanthemums, Jiang Xiaobai still recognized them at a glance and said a little excitedly.

Wang Xiuyun said suspiciously: "These stones are not as beautiful as the two I dug up!" ”

The two stones he brought back, the shape of the chrysanthemum was clearly visible, and it was realistic, very different from the stone in front of him, so it was inevitable to wonder.

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "The stamen of chrysanthemum stone is a collection of crystalline minerals, and the petals are a collection of columnar minerals of unequal length produced by the rhombohedral crystal form close to or intermittently connected, which is arranged radially in the three-dimensional space with the stamen as the center, so to see the complete chrysanthemum form still needs to be polished and carved. ”

Theoretically, because the stone is three-dimensional, polishing from any aspect can reveal a complete chrysanthemum.

"Doesn't that mean that all the stones in this mountain are treasures?"

Wang Xiuyun said excitedly.

This piece of mountain is basically their royal family.

If it is really as Jiang Xiaobai said, the Wang family will have a treasure mountain.

Wang Xiang even said: "Let's go back and tell your uncle the good news, he is happier than any birthday gift when he hears such good news!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly said: "Cousin Xiang, don't worry, if everyone knows that these stones are treasures, you will mine these stones in the future, and the other villagers will not agree." ”

Wang Xiang said: "What are you afraid of? Most of this mountain belongs to our royal family. ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "What about the surroundings?" Are there still chrysanthemum stones on the surrounding mountains? ”

Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there are still a few places where this kind of stone is also used." ”

Wang Xiuyun nodded and said, "Yes, this mountain is called Baishi Mountain, and the next Dazi Mountain, Mopan Mountain and Chenjialing all have this kind of stone. ”

These mountain names, which are not even found on the most detailed maps of later generations, are merely the names of the mountains by the locals.

It sounds like a few mountains, and the area is very large, but in fact, the radius is only a few miles.

"Is there anywhere else?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked.

Wang Xiuyun and Wang Xiang both shook their heads.

Wang Xiang said: "I have never seen this kind of stone with white spots in other places, it is all granite and bluestone. ”

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment after listening to this, and said after a while: "In this way, you don't make a noise first, let's set up a project to find the village to contract several mountains with chrysanthemum stones, and then quarry stones in them." ”

Wang Xiuyun laughed: "Xiaobai, this is a good idea." ”

Wang Xiang also said: "Then do as you say." ”

The three of them continued to walk forward, and Jiang Xiaobai was observing all the way, walking through several places such as Jizi Mountain, Mopan Mountain and Chenjialing, and found that most of the stones here were chrysanthemum stones, and they couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts.

I didn't expect to come to celebrate my uncle's birthday and find such a big treasure.

Along the way, I also met several nearby villagers.

"Xiuyun, isn't it your eldest brother's birthday today? Why do you still go out for a walk? ”

Wang Xiuyun pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and said with a smile: "My nephew can't sit still in the house, so I will take him out for a walk." ”

When the villagers saw Jiang Xiaobai's dress, they smiled and said, "Your nephew is from the city at first glance, where can he sit and live in our countryside!" ”

Wang Xiuyun laughed and said, "That's it, Brother Li, where are you going?" ”

"I went to the back trough and pulled a basket of radishes, and the snow melted, so I pulled some radishes and went home, so that it wouldn't snow again in a few days."

"Yes, yes, then you get busy first."

"Okay, you guys go slowly, I'll go to Brother Xiuwen's house at night."

"Okay, come early, let's fight Shaohu."

“……”

Jiang Xiaobai didn't know anyone from Wangjia Village, so he didn't talk to him, and after turning around a few places, he returned.

"Baba, where have you been?"

As soon as she returned to Wang Xiuwen's house, Jiang Shan ran over and asked.

Wang Gang also shouted on the side, "Uncle Cousin!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "I'm going out for a walk with your uncle, let's go play!" ”
