It is precisely because the formation of nugget gold is relatively special and rare that it also makes nugget gold more expensive than gold.
Lu Lu couldn't weigh the nugget of gold in his hands now. Lu Lu could only use the nickname that Chen Xiuyu and the others used to sell mountain products before weighing it. It was one pound or three taels.
If it were worth a few hundred yuan a gram twenty or thirty years later, it would be worth a lot of money.
You must know that it would take hundreds of millions of years for the nugget-headed gold to produce and accumulate to about one kilogram. It is quite rare for a piece of nugget-headed gold to reach one pound or three taels.
There are also bits and pieces of gold nuggets and gold sand in the bag. The whole bag of gold is a full kilogram or more.
Since the beginning of the invasion of Guandong, people who came to the wilderness have been mainly engaged in five occupations: farming, hunting, logging, carrying sticks and gold panning.
There are many gold mines around Xiaoxinganling, and the gold mining industry has been around since ancient times.
Lu Lu didn't know whether Jin Zhiquan found the nugget gold by himself or obtained it from others, but he knew that where the nugget gold was found, there was probably a nugget gold vein.
Isn’t it a pity to beat Jin Zhiquan to death directly?
But then I thought about it, if I didn’t beat him to death, there was no way these things wouldn’t be his turn.
I really don’t know how Jin Zhiquan got around in his last life. There were so many good things, but he actually chose to hang himself on a crooked neck tree after losing money growing ginseng.
Lu Lu thought about it for a long time, and combined with Jin Zhiquan's well-dressed personality, even if he escaped to hide in the mountains over Taoshan, he would not forget to hook up with the little widow, have a passionate fight with the production team leader, and often go out to restaurants, it is not difficult to know that he also has a temperament
A master who knows how to enjoy himself.
If you still gamble, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough.
Lu Lu didn't bother to think too much. Anyway, the thing was in his hands now, so it belonged to him, no matter what his reasons were.
But it was this gold nugget that gave Lu Lu a new idea.
Besides hunting and carrying a stick, you can also try your luck.
When Lu Lu had this idea, he almost immediately thought of Huma, the place where the most gold nuggets appear in the Xing'an Mountains.
The reform and opening up was a time when hard currency such as gold was urgently needed. Two years earlier, an extremely mysterious gold force with over ten thousand people had been established to specialize in surveying and searching for gold.
But at this stage, the control is not strict enough. Some people even knew about the existence of the gold army and kept following it. When the army found the ore vein and set the coordinates, they set up a machine two hundred meters away to crush and screen the ore.
.
It was not until the mid-to-late 1990s that special armed police patrols were deployed to implement strict control over such chaotic scenes that were repeatedly suppressed.
Of course, when looking for gold, Lu Lu just thought about it and tried his luck.
After all, there are too many people staring at this thing, and it is not realistic enough.
He just thought that when he had the opportunity to pass by these places, he would stop by and take a look.
When Chen Xiuyu looked at the gold, her eyes were shining, her throat began to get dry, and she couldn't help but swallow one after another.
Lu Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Daughter-in-law, please be careful. These things cannot be touched and must be kept well. You have to understand the truth. A big tree attracts wind, and too much money brings disaster. If people know about these things, we will be beaten."
There are too many people who have their own ideas. If they stay at home every day and they can't keep it, they might even be killed."
When Chen Xiuyu heard this, she was as smart as she was. How could she not know the power of it? Her head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Lu Lu carefully gathered the nugget gold and gold sand into the bag, tightened the mouth of the bag again, and tied it tightly.
Now, only the last tarpaulin bag is left.
He put the things on the table, quickly untied them, and found that there was also a small bag inside that could be tightened.
I pinched it casually, and there were some marble-like things inside.
Frowning slightly, Lu Lu opened the bag and narrowed his eyes when he saw the contents inside.
Contained in the bag is a pearl bracelet, which emits dazzling colorful light under the illumination of the flashlight.
There are eighteen of these pearls, strung together into a bracelet.
The pearls are round and large in texture and crystal clear in color.
He could recognize at a glance that these were pearls produced from freshwater river mussels in Northeast China, also called East Pearls. Every East Pearl was hard-earned and extremely precious.
There is a saying that a river can be counted without a single clam, and a boat full of mussels cannot be filled with a pearl.
In other words, if you search several rivers, you will not find a single river mussel, and if you collect a boatload of river mussels, you may not be able to find an East Pearl.
You can see its rarity.
In China, the pearls produced in the West are called Western pearls, and the pearls produced in Guangdong and other places are called Southern pearls. Both are saltwater pearls. The Eastern pearls are the only freshwater pearls in China. They are difficult to form and are much rarer than ocean pearls. The weather is cold.
Because of this, the molding is extremely slow. Probably because it is in the Northeast, East Pearl is also called North Pearl, and is produced in the Songhua River, HLJ, Ussuri River, Yalu River and their basins.
In the Qing Dynasty, the Dongzhu was a royal jewel exclusively used by the royal family. Hiding a pearl privately was a serious crime of beheading. It is said that one of the crimes when He Shen was killed was hiding the Dongzhu secretly.
I met Lu Lu in my previous life.
During the Qing Dynasty, the mussels in these rivers were almost eliminated. In later generations, most of the Dongzhu that could be seen were artificially cultured.
Lu Lu could still be calm when he saw other things, but he was no longer calm when he saw this bracelet.
You know, the Dongzhu that still exist today are all antique pearls.
Each of the eighteen pearls on this bracelet is worth a lot of money. The selling price of these beads alone is far higher than those of gold nuggets.
I really don’t know where this guy Jin Zhiquan got all these good things.
But Lu Lu also knows that all the things here that can be used are probably the 10,000 yuan and those gas stamps and cloth stamps. As for the other things, they can only be sealed unless forced to take them out.
Emergency.
"Daughter-in-law, these things are too valuable, but after all, they were obtained by Jin Zhiquan and those gangsters. They are all stolen goods. This matter must be kept in the stomach and no one can know. Otherwise, we
I'm afraid that my family will be ruined, so you must control your mouth, and it's best not to think about it again."
It was impossible to hand it over. Lu Lu had only one way to hide it.
When Chen Xiuyu heard this, she also knew the seriousness of the matter and just nodded silently.
That night, Lu Lu couldn't wait to find Zuo Songling to make a box. He immediately took out a wooden box for clothes from the house, carefully put the things in it, then moved up the stairs and climbed to the top of the wooden ridge.
Place things carefully in the mezzanine.
This is bound to be a restless night.
Lu Lu was feeling better. He had experienced a lot in his previous life, and he was tired from the three days of running around. He fell asleep quickly.
Chen Xiuyu couldn't sleep peacefully. She lay on the kang and tossed and turned. On the second day, she had heavy dark circles under her eyes and her eyes were bloodshot.
After Lu Lu woke up, he comforted her for a long time before she fell asleep on the kang.
At night, it started to snow again, and another layer of more than ten centimeters piled up.
Lu Lu put on his clothes and got down from the kang. He picked up a shovel and shoveled the snow in the yard first to clear the road. Then he started to get fodder to feed the horses and deer. He also got some hazelnuts, mixed them with corn, and fed them to the
Flying dragon in a cage.
After a busy morning, it's almost noon.
Today neither Ma Jinlan nor Aunt Duan came, but Chen Xiuqing did.
Entering the courtyard, he said directly to Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, the engagement date has been chosen. The day after tomorrow... come with me for a run."
"No problem!" Lu Lu nodded and agreed, "I invited Uncle Wang when I proposed marriage, and I have to invite him this time!"
"I know, I've already told them at their house! I'll come over and call you the day after tomorrow!"
After Chen Xiuqing finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I'll be preparing to cook soon..."
This kid is a little unusual today. If it were any other day, once he comes, he will never leave without having a meal.
"Brother Lu, I have already eaten at home. I have to go to the market today to buy some things for my engagement. The carriage is still parked on the road outside. My mother and Aunt Duan are also going, and they are all waiting outside." Chen
Xiuqing turned around, smiled at Lu Lu, and left quickly.
Chen Xiuqing has always been very concerned about marrying a wife.
No wonder neither Ma Jinlan nor Aunt Duan came here today.
There was something to be busy with, so Lu Lu was not polite to him. He went back to the house and took a look in the bedroom. Chen Xiuyu was still sleeping soundly.
He didn't intend to disturb her, so he went to the kitchen to light a fire, cooked some frozen dumplings and ate them. He also took a few frozen pears and put them in a basin of cold water to let them sit for a while, preparing to eat them in the afternoon.
Next, with nothing to do, Lu Lu took the red deer head that had been lying in the cellar for several days back home.
Originally, he wanted to make a complete animal head ornament, but unfortunately, in order to better preserve this thing, the flesh and blood inside the deer head needs to be completely removed, so that the eyeballs cannot be left. These days,
It's not easy to find plastic replicas of deer eyes, and the resulting deer head ornament would be hollow and boring without the eyes.
When he was shopping in the area, Lu Lu had another idea and planned to make an animal bone ornament.
After finding a few sacks and laying them on the ground, Lu Lu took a hunting knife and carefully peeled off the deer skin from the skull.
As for the deer head, he found oil paper and tape to wrap and protect the connection between the antlers and the skull.
If you want to remove the flesh and blood inside, the easiest way is to boil it in water.
Therefore, Lu Lu directly lit up the stove in the kitchen, added water to the iron pot, which was close to the position of the antlers, and placed it in the pot to cook.
As for the deer skin peeled off from the deer's head, Lu Lu shoveled the oily skin, cleaned it and left it in a frame to dry. He was just waiting to get the conditions to obtain simulated eyeballs and then cover the deer's head. At that time,
It can also be a lifelike deer head.
When Chen Xiuyu woke up, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. She went to the kitchen to take a look and saw Lu Lu carving out the meat of a deer head that had been cooked for nearly two hours. The mandible had been removed by Lu Lu.
Use a knife to carefully remove the muscles wrapped on it bit by bit. It's almost done.
After these soft tissues are cleaned, put them in a bucket and soak them with bleaching powder for a period of time to turn the deer skulls white. Then use alcohol to remove the odor, dry them and fix them to make animal bone ornaments.
Seeing that Chen Xiuyu woke up and her condition had finally recovered a lot, Lu Lu couldn't help but smile and said: "If I had known better, I shouldn't have let you see those things!"
"If you don't read it, you might not be able to sleep!" Chen Xiuyu also laughed.
Lu Lu thought about it for a moment and thought it was true. It might be difficult to fall asleep if he didn't watch it. Such damn curiosity.
"Calm down, just adjust well in the past few days and get used to it... By the way, I must be hungry. I'll get you whatever you want to eat!"
Chen Xiuyu looked at the deer head that Lu Lu was playing with: "How about frying some venison?"
Her belly is getting bigger and bigger now. Not to mention cooking, even wearing shoes is very difficult.
Lu Lu dropped what he was doing and went outside to dig out some venison he had brought back. After thawing it, he cooked a bowl of venison for Chen Xiuyu and paired it with some side dishes.
When he ate frozen dumplings in the morning, he just made a fool of himself, cooked the food, poured himself some blueberry fruit wine, and had another meal with Chen Xiuyu.
After the meal, Lu Lu continued to process the deer skull. After cleaning it, he put water in a bucket, added the bleaching powder he bought, soaked the deer head, and left it in the kitchen.
Next, Lu Lu accompanied Chen Xiuyu for a walk in Caodianzi for half an hour. After finishing the chores in Caodianzi, the day passed quietly.
