Chapter 10: It's a big deal!
Sand gold is gold.
The reason why it is called sand gold is because the purity is not enough.
The second is because the sand gold is weathered by the ore veins and converges in the river sand through the water flow, and the size resembles the shape of fine sand, so it is named.
Because the level of education is not high, not smart enough, and at the same time lack of background.
Yang Zhen was the lowest manual laborer in his last life.
In order to support his family, he has done a variety of jobs.
In addition to hunting, such as panning for sand gold, which can be done as long as you have strength, is naturally one of the jobs that Yang Zhen has done in order to earn money.
Not only has he done it, but he has been doing it for a long time.
It is also for this reason that Yang Zhen is very familiar with the whole set of processes such as panning for sand gold from the beginning of opening the bowl and chute to the final gold collection and alchemy.
In short, if it was just gold panning, Yang Zhen felt that he was absolutely sure that he would dig out all the gold in the gold nest.
But it would be a bit difficult for him to find out the rich gold point from a river with sand gold by looking at the wind and water, that is, the golden nest.
After all, he used to work, although he was known for his hard work, and he was liked by his boss everywhere.
But in addition to other things other than his own work, he won't even ask, let alone take the initiative to learn.
It is also for this reason that in the face of this river that winds for dozens of miles, he knew that Cao Jianjun had found Jinwozi in it.
Now Yang Zhen, who is a little overwhelmed and doesn't know how to start, reflects on his life for the first time in his life......
suddenly found that the fate that I had been tragic may have a lot to do with my character, not simply bad luck and bad luck.
For example, this is looking for a golden nest.
When I was panning for gold, I learned a little more and asked more.
Yang Zhen felt that he was afraid that he would not be as blind as he was now.
Fortunately, after some scratching his ears and cheeks, Yang Zhen finally recalled some details of the gold rush.
I think of any gold rush point in the past, all of which are at the bend where the river washes against the water.
When I think of those bays where the rapids slow down suddenly, the amount of gold is generally much higher than that of ordinary bays.
Plus the understanding of Cao Jianjun.
Knowing that with Cao Jianjun's character, he would never deliberately run far to find Jin Wozi.
The reason why it can be found should be a great deal of chance.
For example, when I was washing dishes and washing clothes, I saw golden sands, or I accidentally fell into the river and found golden sands.
After thinking about these things clearly, Yang Zhen finally had some eyebrows.
After first determining the scope within a few hundred meters of the nameless river's upstream and downstream of the logging site, Yang Zhen worked hard at the bends of the river with a shovel in one hand and a bowl of earth and sea in the other.
Although do not understand gold because of the density of sedimentation.
But because of his specific work experience, Yang Zhen will no longer be confused in this regard.
The river sand in the upper layer of the river bay, etc., Yang Zhen dug it up directly and didn't even look at it.
It wasn't until he dug a few feet deep that Yang Zhen began to put the river sand in a bowl for a trial.
This is not really the beginning of gold panning, but through trial mining to see if the river sand contains sand gold, to determine the amount of gold, and whether it is worth mining.
It is also for this reason that this step has a special term in the gold mining industry, called opening the bowl.
The first bowl was not a single piece of sand gold.
The same goes for the next few bowls.
It wasn't until they dug more than half a meter deep and gradually began to approach the hard base of the riverbed that the bottom of the washed bowl gradually appeared.
Although the quantity is very small, it is not worth searching for at all.
Therefore, it is impossible to be the golden nest that Cao Jianjun once found.
But Yang Zhen, who saw these golden sands, was still ecstatic.
After all, although it was because of this golden nest that he gave up his qualification to return to the city......
But as for whether there is a golden nest in this river, Yang Zhen does not dare to guarantee 100%.
After all, Cao Jianjun has always spoken in a foggy manner, and if you want to hear the truth from his mouth, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Although I haven't dug up the golden nest yet.
But these golden sands are enough to prove that Cao Jianjun did not lie about the matter of Jinwozi.
Originally, it was just speculation, but now it can be confirmed that Jin Wozi really exists......
How could Yang Zhen not be excited?
It is also for this reason that digging sand and digging pits is extremely tiring.
But after discovering Jinsha, Yang Zhen worked extremely hard.
However, in just half a day, Yang Zhen had already dug up four or five bays that could be rich in gold.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to check whether the hunting trap he had laid before had been harvested, Yang Zhen was afraid that he would have to continue digging.
As soon as he saw Yang Zhen put down his things and come out with a shotgun, the black tiger who knew that Yang Zhen was definitely going to enter the mountain again jumped up and down, and he kept screaming, as if he was saying to Yang Zhen to take me quickly, take me.
Yang Zhen naturally didn't forget to bring the black tiger.
After all, don't say that if you encounter any wild boars and wolves, there are black tigers who can wake up to this point, just say that if you see the prey and don't kill it, you may not be able to catch up with it by yourself.
Slowly walked through the barren slope where the logging had been completed, and just approached the position near the lower set of the beast road in the old forest.
The black tiger suddenly barked a few times, and then ran straight out.
"Is there something on the sleeve again?"
Seeing the appearance of the black tiger running out, Yang Zhen couldn't believe his eyes, and said in his heart that this hunter hunted a set, even the old hunter didn't dare to guarantee that he would have a harvest every day.
I have already hit two in the three days of entering the mountain, and I will hit it again today.
Even three days of harvest, luck is not so good?
But a prey that was bitten by a black tiger and covered in black hair in the lower set really proved Yang Zhen's luck.
Not only good, but also excessively good.
Because although the prey this time is not a big commodity like a wild boar, it is not small at all.
It is a pig badger weighing more than twenty or thirty pounds and full of fat!
Although there have been incidents in the past two days, rabbits and pheasants have eaten, and the meat is not less than that.
But as soon as he saw the badger, Yang Zhen still couldn't help but start talking about it.
There is no other reason, that is, the pig badger meat is fat!
Except for a very few people who often have the opportunity to eat meat, who doesn't love fatty meat these days?
Anyway, when he thought of the fried fried pork badger meat, Yang Zhen was drooling.
I can't wait to immediately carry the badger back and fry a big pot for a feast.
The black tiger seemed to be able to tell the difference between the big goods in front of him and the wild boar and rabbit two days ago, and while biting and refusing to let go, he kept shaking his head at Yang Zhen, as if he was saying that such a big guy, you have to give me more to eat today.
"It's been dead for a long time!"
"You still dare to bite the invitation, you guy is really thick-skinned!"
Touching the pig badger that was already stiff, Yang Zhen gave the black tiger a funny look, but he didn't forget to promise to give it two more pieces when the time came.
Black Tiger can be regarded as a mouthful.
