The bowl Lu Lu brought was an ordinary coarse porcelain bowl used for eating.
Last night, he rubbed the bowl vigorously with a stone for a while to remove the smooth glaze in the bowl and lose its slippery feel.
This is the gold panning tool he uses instead of a wooden dustpan.
Before leaving, he specially took some sediment from the deep part of the river beach and put it into a bowl. He stirred it in the water and rinsed away the fine sandy powder. He washed it several times until there was only a small amount of dark gray heavy sand left in the bowl.
Finally, leave enough water in the bowl to soak the heavy sand powder, and gently shake the porcelain bowl like using a dustpan. Under the gravity separation of the water, the golden foam will remain at the bottom of the bowl.
Very convenient and fast.
The wooden dustpan is too big, so it is conspicuous when you carry it on your body, but it is not easy to see it if you just stuff it into your hunting bag with a bowl.
Although I haven't seen anyone in this mountain, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of what happens.
He didn't want to be spotted when he met someone, which would lead to the early discovery of the placer gold veins in the Little Silgen River.
If the news spreads, I'm afraid it won't take long for the place to be crowded with people. If you want to go shopping in the future, there will be no space.
This kind of bowl is actually a method used in ancient times to find rock gold and conduct a certain amount of gold testing, also called the bowl gold method.
This is a method of crushing the found ore that may contain gold on large rocks, grinding it into powder, and panning it to determine whether there is gold and estimate the gold content.
After packing up his belongings and putting them in a hunting bag, he carried a semi-automatic rifle on his back, led Yuanbao and the others, and began to climb over the mountains and ridges again, passing through the surrounding valleys and ravines.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. He roughly knew that there were several mineral veins in this area. Lu Lu became more purposeful and actually asked him to find four more gold mine veins.
He followed the rivers of these four mineral veins, looking for places with various markers, digging here, panning there, and even searching around in shallow rivers and ditches with his trouser legs rolled up.
Lu Lu found a lot of nugget gold. The largest piece weighed more than three kilograms, which is very rare. It was dug out from a pile of soil under the horsetail grass that tested to have a lot of placer gold content.
When he went out for a day like this, sometimes he even picked up more gold nuggets in one day than the four of Zhang Shaofeng and the others could get by panning for gold in running water.
Zhang Shaofeng and others stayed in that river. When it became difficult to dig and transport the washed materials, they changed places.
With the flowing water method, the placer gold taken out in a day is often more than three kilograms.
After all these days, together with what Lu Lu had obtained, as well as the placer gold, which was not particularly pure in texture, it weighed at least seventy or eighty kilograms.
With such a harvest, even Lu Lu felt that after returning from this trip, he seemed to be able to just lie down. Even if they were divided equally, each of the six people would have an income of more than 200,000 yuan.
Two hundred thousand, what is the concept?
That's a lot of money these days.
But if you change it into money now, it will still be 200,000 in 20 years. And by then, with 200,000, it will be a problem to buy a house in the city.
Is it much?
Not much at all.
Obviously, it is completely uneconomical to exchange it for money right now.
Take it back and put it away until it becomes valuable, or sell it when needed. At that time, many gold and jewelry shops bought it, and there were many small recycling shops in many lanes. There was no need to send it to the buying station like now.
Sold at a not-so-high price.
Especially those gold nuggets!
You can’t lie flat!
It’s almost time!
In the evening, Lu Lu returned to the tent. Today he came back empty-handed. During this period, he could directly see or dig out the gold nuggets, which he had already picked up along the river. This time, he went out.
Found nothing.
On the other hand, Zhang Shaofeng and others got more than four kilograms.
“Let’s stop here for this gold hunt!”
During dinner, Lu Lu expressed his thoughts: "We should go back!"
"go back?"
Several people raised their heads and looked at Lu Lu.
"It's a good bargain. What are we going to do when we go back? We will make more money today than anything we do."
"Yes, after I go back, I will be idle. As I am now, I can work here for the rest of my life."
"If you ask me, we have to seize this opportunity and make a good fortune while no one has found this place. It is best to work for a few years. After we go back, this life will be enough."
Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xiuqing and Liang Kangbo expressed their thoughts one after another.
Even Zhao Yongke, the most calm person, looked at Lu Lu with very warm eyes.
Obviously, several people are already addicted.
Watching the placer gold being panned out every day, just like stacks of banknotes, is a very enjoyable feeling and is simply addictive.
No one will despise having more money. If you earn a little, you will only think about earning more. This is simply a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
"I also want to keep digging like this, but...we have been out for twenty-four or five days. We have to fill in the holes created by gold mining, recover, and return home. It will be almost a month. After that time, we will not go back.
, the family will be very worried."
Lu Lu smiled slightly.
"Do you miss your wife?" Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a few days earlier or a few days later. If we shop for a while longer, we can do nothing for the second half of the year after we go back. I know you have a good relationship with Xiuyu, but it's not okay to spend time with your wife.
Do you have enough time?" Liang Kangbo also really didn't want to go back: "What do you think, Qingzi?"
Chen Xiuqing looked at Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo, then looked at Lu Lu, lowered her head, and said hesitantly: "I also think I can work for a while longer."
His answer made Lu Lu somewhat disappointed.
"Third brother, where are you?" Zhang Shaofeng looked at Zhao Yongke.
Zhao Yongke hesitated for a moment: "Although I really want to continue shopping here, I listen to Lao Wu. If he says to do it, I will do it. If he says to go, I will follow. Lao Wu is the leader."
The four people's eyes focused on Lu Lu again.
"How should I put it...Look at each other first. Do you feel anything is different?"
Lu Lu thought for a moment, looked at a few people, and asked in a low voice.
Several people looked at each other, Zhang Shaofeng shook his head: "I don't see any difference, it's just dirtier and sloppier."
Lu Lu shook his head: "You have all lost weight!"
Several people were stunned when he said this, feeling that Lu Lu was a bit baffled.
But I heard Lu Lu continue to say: "When we arrived in Huma, when we were chatting with Lao Huang, he told us about the three brothers. Do you still remember them? Why didn't you go out?"
"At that time, there were many men with beards. It was normal to be stared at by so many people and not be able to go out." Liang Kangbo said somewhat nonchalantly.
"Yeah, who are we? Don't be afraid if we meet each other. Besides, how old are we?" Zhang Shaofeng also had an indifferent expression on his face.
"What year is this?"
Lu Lu repeated this sentence in a low voice, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Is there much difference? We just came out of Xinglonggou, we had nothing on us, and we were robbed."
He sighed slightly and continued: "Lao Huang, his eldest brother, is right when he says that there is endless gold in the world. When the time comes, it is time to stop. But in fact, he has not stepped out of this circle.
, my life was easily taken advantage of, and I still wanted to protect the gold and negotiate with others, but in the end my life was lost. I couldn’t bear to let go!
Lao Huang's second brother was dragged into a treasure bureau and lost everything in minutes. He was indulging himself.
As for Lao Huang himself, he went back and forth seven or eight times, and in the end he could not get out of Huma for the rest of his life because of a Tweety.
Their third brother, it can be said that success is gold and failure is gold. They are all desires.
And desire is a bottomless pit! There is no money that can’t be earned, and there is no money that can’t be spent.
This is a double-sided knife!
Besides, there are many things we can do and ways to make money.
We have gotten a lot this time... It’s time to go back, you can come back another year. I have to bring back so much placer gold.”
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he sighed slightly and glanced at the few people.
Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo both said nothing and looked a little confused. Chen Xiuqing lowered her head, scratched her hair and remained silent.
Only Zhao Yongke said: "I'll go with you!"
Lu Lu nodded slightly, his eyes wandering around the three of them: "Second brother, fourth brother, and Qingzi, think about it carefully. After dinner, go to bed early tonight. I will wait for your answer tomorrow morning... I must be
Gotta go."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he started to prepare dinner, and Zhao Yongke also came over to help.
It's just that once the meal is ready, it's boring to eat it.
This is the first time that the two brothers have been silent like this since they have been sworn friends for so long.
In the evening, Lu Lu brought some wine by himself, sat down by the flowing river, and drank wine alone. Zhao Yongke was baking his shoes by the fire, and then he came to Lu Lu.
He came over and sat next to him: "Although I don't understand very well, I believe that your choice is right."
Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo got into the tent and lay down. Chen Xiuqing sat by the fire alone, glancing at Lu Lu from time to time.
After a long time, Lu Lu drank the wine in the bowl and hummed a song:
"The world is so vast. Put the word "profit" in the center. Are you happy or sad? Taste it for yourself. This life is so short. I wish you and me to enjoy it to the fullest. Why are there so many joys and sorrows? This life is also confused. For a few taels of silver,
For three meals a day, for a car, for a house, you do it for that girl, but these few taels of silver can relieve the panic in the world. Even if you don’t recognize your relatives, why not be riddled with holes... Even if there is no recovery, why not be covered in bruises...
…”
Lu Lu sang it over and over again, and finally stood up suddenly and shouted loudly towards the mountains and fields: "The people in the world are panicking just to break a few taels of silver, but these few taels of silver can solve all kinds of panic in the world.
To ensure that the elderly are healthy in their later years, their children can go to school, and they have enough food, rice, oil, salt and grains!"
He looked somewhat crazy.
Looking back on my whole life, it seems that even now, I feel like I have been in a whirlpool, but because of my experiences in my previous life, I still understand it very well.
At this time, Liang Kangbo, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing inside the tent had already turned over and sat up.
Listen silently.
"If those gold sands of ours were converted into money, they would be quite a lot!"
After a long time, Zhang Shaofeng spoke softly.
"It's quite a lot. I never thought I could have so much money in my life. This song is interesting. Of course you can't have less money, but you can't be completely obsessed with it. There are more important things. Besides money, there are also
I have family to take care of!"
Liang Kangbo nodded slightly: "Lao Wu is sounding the alarm for us!"
"Yes, there is endless gold in the world... After he sang and roared like this, my heart suddenly became brighter. It's really time for us to go!" Zhang Shaofeng was silent for a while and whispered.
Chen Xiuqing looked at the two of them blankly: "No shopping tomorrow?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Shaofeng asked, "Don't you miss Yan Zi?"
"I think!" Chen Xiuqing nodded.
"That's enough!" Zhang Shaofeng rolled his eyes at him: "I don't understand how a little girl like Yanzi can endure it. I suggest you hug a piece of wood at night!"
