After an afternoon of drying, the mosquito coils made by Lu Lu were completely dry and hard.
He packed the mosquito-repellent incense in an oil paper bag, returned to the house, found wire and a small wooden board, made a simple mosquito-repellent incense holder, and then lit it with a match.
A wisp of green smoke floated gently in the room, exuding a faint smell of mugwort and spreading throughout the room.
Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu saw what Lu Lu did with their own eyes, and they didn't think it was that strange. Zhang Shaofeng and others were different. Seeing the novelty, they all asked what it was for.
"It can repel mosquitoes and midges. I just made it and I don't know how effective it is yet!"
Lu Lu said simply, climbed onto the kang, sat down cross-legged again, held the wine glass and motioned for the others to continue drinking.
The topic returned to finding gold again.
In fact, Zhang Shaofeng and others are more curious about finding gold. After all, as Chen Xiuyu said, from ancient times to the present, how many people have been rummaging around on this land, how can it be so easy to find it.
We all know that gold has always been valuable, who doesn’t love it!
Now when they heard that Lu Lu said that he could find gold by himself, several people were very confused.
But after thinking about it, they discovered that Lu Lu was much more familiar with the wilderness than the natives like them, and understood much more. Apart from anything else, after being in the wilderness for such a long time, where did Lu Lu go?
Lu was very knowledgeable, as if the entire terrain of the wilderness was stored in his mind, and he never failed.
Furthermore, there are indeed many places in the wilderness, especially in the Greater Khingan Mountains, that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, and uninhabited areas of tens or hundreds of kilometers are also common.
Even if someone arrives, they may not find gold.
After thinking about it, I still feel that what Lu Lu said is very possible, because they have enough ability to go to those uninhabited areas, and they become more and more looking forward to it.
Lu Lu's greatest confidence was that he knew the locations of some gold mines that were discovered only in later generations.
When he himself was wandering around in the wilderness, he met many workers who were engaged in gold mining in these days or old people who had experience in this field. He did not have the various instruments and equipment of later generations, but he heard about many ancient gold seekers.
Method.
The coast of HLJ is known as "three thousand miles of mountains and rivers, edged with gold". This is one of the most famous placer gold mining areas in the country, and its rich gold reserves are second to none in the country.
With the reform and opening up, the demand for gold, a hard currency, increased sharply, so a team specifically looking for gold emerged - the Golden Soldiers, which have been active in the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains for many years.
Even so, until the new century, new large-scale gold mines are still being discovered.
Lu Lu said at the Walagan Forest Farm in Tahe County that there was gold there. That was because he knew that there was a mountain in Baoxing Valley just a few dozen kilometers east of Tahe County in 2007.
A large gold mine that was only discovered by the Golden Soldiers.
These days, the equipment of the Golden Soldiers is also lagging behind.
Their method of finding gold is actually similar to Lu Lu's, and they rely more on the wisdom left by the ancients.
In this regard, based on what he knew, Lu Lu was not much worse than them. Moreover, with a head full of information, he could more specifically search for places where future generations would find gold mines.
Of course, for Lu Lu, all he could think about was looking for placer gold.
Gold in nature mostly exists in the form of a single substance, with a small amount of metal compounds.
Intuitively, gold mines are usually divided into placer gold mines and rock gold mines.
Placer gold mines are essentially formed by long-term water erosion and downstream wind erosion deposits in large gold mines. Just follow the places with ditches and water to find them.
This is also the easiest gold to get. In gold panning, the main thing you pan for is placer gold.
As for rock gold, most of it is found in volcanic rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. From the perspective of mineral processing, it can be divided into quartz-type veins, fractured zone alteration rocks, quartz calcite, etc.
In fact, the meaning is very simple. Just choose a place with quartz and a place with cliffs and faults.
As for the quartz vein type gold-bearing ore, it is mainly composed of pyrite, and the gold ore exists between the cracks between the gangue and pyrite or other metal minerals. This is also a gold ore that is relatively easy to select.
Often the source of placer gold is the location of rock gold mines.
What is quartz stone?
It has a common name that many people know: horse tooth stone.
Not to mention associated minerals such as pyrite.
With such a vast wilderness, just looking for it along the ravines and streams you see without any basis is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. It is purely trying your luck, and often such luck has been encountered countless times by predecessors.
Lu Lu had heard of and seen many methods, including the methods of finding dragons and turning gold, and even some Feng Shui applications. He knew some of them.
Just like lifting a mallet, looking for gold requires observing the mountains to find their pulse.
Don't underestimate Feng Shui. The existence of gold depends on the winding mountains. It is not only Feng Shui, but also the ancient people's summary of the mountain topography and mineral prospecting rules.
Mysterious but not mysterious!
Ancient methods, knowledge from later generations, rumors heard... all kinds of information blended into a hodgepodge here at Lu Lu.
It's better to be mixed and mixed, and there are many things to consider. Even if you try your luck, you have to be more targeted than others, and the chance of finding gold is much higher.
If that doesn't work, just find the location of the mineral vein discovered by later generations. Although it is still necessary to find it these days, it is not too difficult.
Of course, what Lu Lu considered was only those gold mines that were easy to obtain. It was really unnecessary to dig mines and get equipment for screening and refining.
It is easy for someone to find out something and not tell it. In these days, once you are labeled, the gain outweighs the loss.
Take what you can, take what you can!
What I want is nothing more than stability.
It was a mess outside, and I was making my own little fortune in the mountains. This was Lu Lu's idea. He was also a man of the Taoism, and there was absolutely no need to mess around in the feasting and feasting place outside.
There are so many things you can do in the mountains.
Prey, wild animals, sticks, gold, gems... even wood, if used properly, can accumulate a lot of wealth.
And having guys with excellent performance and reliable partners at hand has become his best support in traveling through the mountains and wilderness.
In a few years, guns will be banned, animals will be protected, logging of plants will be prohibited, wild sticks will be protected, and private digging will be controlled. At that time, driving in the mountains will probably mean getting wild vegetables and some pine seeds.
, picking some wild fruits such as pine nuts and blueberries, picking up some mushrooms, and digging up some worthless medicinal materials. All they do is manual work, and it is "manual work" that is fiercely competitive and strictly controlled.
When picking wild vegetables, you only need a short period of one or two months to bring them back and then undergo various tanning treatments.
To pick pine nuts, you have to pay to reserve an area and wait for the forest farm to open.
There is also a time limit for lifting the mallet. You can dig when you are allowed to dig, and you may not be able to find today's big products.
Don't think so much about gold mining. There are development companies everywhere, and it's almost enough to work there.
There are a lot of gemstone deposits in the wilderness, but I can only look at them helplessly.
Even getting some wooden stakes and the like will have restrictions in later generations. For example, with the increase in the number of "Northern Agarwood" processing plants, it is not as simple as just going to the mountain to pull back the pine trees.
In future generations, mountaineering will no longer be as casual as it is now, and it will no longer be the time to go and get it if you have the ability.
For Lu Lu, now is the best time to go mountain climbing.
But he knew that there were only a few years left and he had to hurry up!
His idea is very simple. After these few years of busy work, he can just protect his little family fortune, spend time with his wife and children, and live a stable and leisurely life.
And all he has to do is accumulate more wealth.
Wealth is the guarantee of leisure.
Without money, how can you have leisure?
The mosquito-repellent incense is very effective. After a meal, the mosquitoes that often buzzed in the ears before looking for opportunities to bite people's faces, arms or faces, after the mosquito-repellent incense is lit, the mosquitoes will disappear.
The brothers who were sitting on the table did not look at anyone who was slapping and scratching themselves from time to time.
Gold panning was mentioned, and after a drink, the conversation all revolved around looking for gold mines.
With the information he had, Lu Lu easily made several people's eyes light up. They all thought that after entering the mountain, they would have unprecedented gains.
That's gold. Just a little bit can be worth your money.
Even Chen Xiuyu, who had previously thought it was just an idiot's dream, now looked at Lu Lu with admiration after hearing what he said so logically. Apparently, she completely believed that Lu Lu had the ability to find gold.
A few people chatted until about ten o'clock when they suddenly realized that it was very late. They were busy going home. After leaving the gate, they suddenly remembered the benefits of Lulu mosquito-repellent incense and turned back one after another.
"Let me see what you have here...there are a lot of mosquito coils, and they are very effective. Give us some to take back and try!"
Several people asked for it directly.
Lu Lu smiled and kept some of the mosquito-repellent incense he made today, and then divided the rest among several people and took them back: "Take the time to prepare some more mugwort, tangerine peel, elm bark and charcoal, dry them in the sun and turn them into powder.
When we come back, we will go to the district to buy some realgar and make more so that it can be used at home and on the farm."
A few things, including realgar, need to be bought at a medical clinic. As for the others, they are very common things in life. You can easily get a lot of them and use mosquito coils at home and in the breeding farm. There is no problem at all.
.
"By the way, we can't tell anyone about our gold mining trip. If we don't want to cause trouble, we must keep this matter a secret. I believe you all know the seriousness of it."
When Zhang Shaofeng and others were preparing to leave, Lu Lu warned: "It's best to just know it in your heart... Especially Qingzi, you must control your mouth."
Chen Xiuqing nodded seriously: "You must control it!"
This guy, without some warning, is now very easy to talk, but as long as he guarantees it, there won't be any problem.
"One more thing, among the six people in our mountain driving team, the eldest brother will definitely stay to take care of the breeding farm and arrange various things. Therefore, he must have a share of what we get. You all know the temper of the eldest brother.
, he leads everyone to take care of the farm, we can rest assured, and it is definitely not as easy as us going into the mountains."
Lu Lu also explained this matter in advance.
"It goes without saying that it is necessary!"
"He must have a share."
"We are all brothers, we all understand this."
"With us, there will be no shortage of big brother."
Several people gave their assurances.
Lu Lu smiled slightly: "We don't need to bring many things this time. We are traveling lightly. We can buy the things we need when we get there. Of course, we will go to Huma first. We must go there first to let you learn how to pan for gold.
Let’s go look for it again. We don’t even know how to use a gold dustpan, so even if we find it, we won’t be able to get it out. We have to buy some tools by the way. Once we learn how to use it, let’s go. Then follow my instructions. Don’t
It’s a shame.”
Although he said it with a smile, everyone could hear the seriousness in Lu Lu's tone.
Zhang Shaofeng asked with a serious face: "What's the problem with that place?"
Lu Lu took a deep breath: "Because it's in Huma... You'll know when you get there. I'll tell you on the way. By the way, let's go to the farm the day after tomorrow. We can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper."
, leave everything to your elder brother, right?"
When several people saw Lu Lu saying this, no matter how curious they were, they didn't ask any more questions and rode their horses home.
After closing the fence gate, courtyard gate and house gate, the couple simply washed up, lay down on the kang, and put down the mosquito net.
"Brother Lu, how did I realize that you are becoming more and more capable?"
Chen Xiuyu put the child aside, pulled the quilt to cover it, and then snuggled into Lu Lu's arms: "It seems that there is nothing you can't do."
"That's... don't even look at who I am!" Lu Lu smiled and said, "I have something better... do you want to try it?"
As he spoke, his big hands had already grasped it.
Chen Xiuyu clenched her fist and hammered him on the chest.
"Wait...just look at me."
Lu Lu's body trembled.
