Chapter 287 Is there water in the stone?

   "This thing is not as good as the ginseng cigarettes we save."

   Zhang pole slammed his mouth, a bit bitter.

  Hong Yunsheng couldn't say anything, so he could only laugh along with him, and then asked Zhang Ganzi, "What kind of business does this gentleman do?"

  It was also his first contact with rural areas in the Mainland, and he didn't know how to chat.

  Zhang Ganzi stuffed the freshly unpacked box of Liangyou cigarettes into his pocket: "I didn't do anything, and there are only a few hundred brothers under my command."

   After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist: "I have to go to work first, and I will chat with you when I am free. I can't help it. The brothers are waiting for me to eat!"

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Ganzi ran away, leaving only Hong Yunsheng standing there in a daze with a look of astonishment: There are hundreds of brothers under him, this is the big boss of the mixed society, disrespectful and disrespectful.

   "Brother Hong, Brother Zheng, it's rare to have a rest today, let's go out for a stroll?"

  Outside the autumn is beautiful, Liu Qingshan wanted to lead the guests to the mountains. The mountains and forests in this season are the most fertile.

  Zheng Hongqi has no objection, it is rare for him to relax for a day, and he is accompanied by Yang Hongying, he is really happy.

   It's strange to say that usually in the county town, he is dizzy with busy work all day long, but as long as he comes to Jiapigou and lives in Liu Qingshan's house, his mood becomes extraordinarily peaceful.

  But Hong Yunsheng didn't make a sound. At this moment, he was squatting on the floor of the house, studying the huge natural round table.

   Knocking, sniffing, and stroking lightly, he was so absorbed in it that he didn't hear Liu Qingshan's question at all.

  After studying for a while, he straightened up.

   It may be that he squatted for a long time, his head was dizzy for a while, and his feet staggered. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed him.

   "Qing Shan, what material is this table made of, is it petrified wood?"

  Hong Yunsheng started his business with jewelry, and he has an extraordinary vision, but he has never been here, so of course he didn't know there was such a thing.

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "It's not yet at the level of a fossil, but the oil of the pine tree is formed after precipitation, which is somewhat similar to amber wood."

   "It must be very precious. This round table is made of peculiar materials and even more peculiar in shape. If it is shipped to Hong Kong Island and sold for hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, it will definitely be a hit."

  The round table is like a tripod, the roots are like a dragon, and it is formed naturally without artificial carving. Such a treasure is really rare.

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Precious is not so precious, it used to be used for burning fire."

ah? fire!

  Hong Yunsheng's eyes were wide open.

  Seeing this, Liu Qingshan led him to the firewood fence, where there were a lot of driftwood piled up, all of which were covered with felt paper.

  The shape of the wave wood, washed by the river, is even more strange, and Hong Yunsheng is even more amazed.

  Finally, he kept waving his hands and yelled: "Don't burn it, don't burn it, it's a waste of money!"

  His voice was a little louder, and he saw a small, naked head emerging from the pile of firewood, and bared its teeth at him twice.

   Hong Yunsheng was startled, and it took him a long time to recognize it as a weasel.

   "Hurry up and go back to see the child, it's none of your business."

  Liu Qingshan waved his hand at the weasel, and this guy really went back, staring at Hong Yunsheng for a while.

   After regaining his senses, Hong Yunsheng said: "Brother Qingshan, these natural artworks can be sold in Hong Kong Island with a little bit of carving, and the price will not be low. Are you interested in cooperating?"

  He originally wanted to help Qian Yuzhen find a business for the folks in Jiapigou. Wouldn't it be a good idea to do this? It was basically a no-cost business.

   "Here, we have cooperated with a professor of Spring City Academy of Fine Arts to develop it. In the future, we may set up a special exhibition hall to display these artworks, so they will not be sold on a large scale."

  Liu Qingshan did not hide anything, and explained his intentions.

  When Hong Yunsheng heard this, he felt a little regretful.

  But apart from being regretful, he has a high regard for this young man Liu Qingshan in his heart: he has seen too many prodigal people, let alone property, even if it is his own ancestral property, he can sell it as soon as he wants it.

   Obviously, the young man in front of him has a longer-term vision, and he is not the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests in doing things.

   And this kind of person is the easiest to get things done.

  The initial contact was only due to Qian Yuzhen's family affection, so Hong Yunsheng deliberately got close to Liu Qingshan, but now, he already admires this young man more.

   After thinking about it, he suggested again: "Why don't we go to the riverside where the wave wood is produced, maybe we can pick up some more, I wonder if I can keep one as a souvenir?"

   "Of course there is no problem, and Brother Zheng, it would be nice to have a piece of this decoration in your office."

  Liu Qingshan nodded with a smile. Anyway, he can go for a walk anywhere. It seems good to go to Jiangchazi.

  After a summer of transportation and scouring by the river, there will definitely be some driftwood accumulated, just in time to harvest again.

   "Okay, I'm going to take a boat too!"

  The little fourth child has been watching by the side for a long time. No matter where they go, they can't leave her and the fifth child anyway.

   "I also want a piece of wave wood, put it on the desk, I feel that this rosin can refresh my mind."

  Zheng Xiaoxiao also wants to go for a walk with her, but she rarely takes a boat.

  Liu Qingshan looked around and saw that even Gao Feng had an expectant look on his face. Obviously, one boat was not enough.

  Thinking about the last time I had a picnic by the river, the taste of stewed fish in the river was really unforgettable, so I asked everyone to pack up and have a picnic there at noon.

  The elder sisters and elder sisters were busy preparing to eat and drink, while Liu Qingshan went to the team headquarters and called the reservoir.

  The person who answered the phone happened to be Yu Laoqi, who was on duty. When he heard that Liu Qingshan wanted to borrow a boat to go to Jiangchazi, Yu Laoqi couldn't help laughing:

   "Go, of course, but Brother Qingshan, you have to prepare enough wine this time!"

  Yu Laoqi still can't forget what happened last time.

  The two sides hit it off immediately, and agreed to meet on the edge of the Xiaosong River, and then put down the phone.

  When the eldest sister and the others finished their preparations, the brigade left the village in a mighty manner. There were more than ten people in total, carrying large and small packages.

  When we reached the river, two boats were already waiting here.

   "Seventh brother, thank you for your hard work."

  Liu Qingshan went up to say hello to Yu Laoqi.

  Yu Lao Qi's dark face was also full of smiles: "We are the ones who borrowed light."

  So everyone boarded the boat one after another, and the two boats went upstream, chug, and headed towards Jiangchazi upstream.

   "Mom, I thought you fell into the water at first, and I was so worried."

  Shan Xing snuggled into Qian Yuzhen's arms, the mother and daughter were whispering, Qian Yuzhen was full of guilt, but hugged her daughter even tighter.

   "The scenery here is very good."

  Looking around, Hong Yunsheng couldn't help admiring. In his opinion, this kind of natural scenery is more comfortable than the high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island.

  Liu Qingshan nodded: "Perhaps in another ten or twenty years, this place will become a famous tourist area."

   "No way, our place is neither a place of interest nor a historic site, what do people come to see when they travel?"

   Zheng Hongqi expressed doubts. Of course, he could not foresee how hot the tourism industry would be in the future.

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Brother Zheng, who knows what will happen in the future, but one thing is for sure, green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains."

   Zheng Hongqi recalled in his mind: "Who said this, it seems quite reasonable?"

  Liu Qingshan could only smile without saying a word.

  In less than an hour, I came to Jiangchazi. Now it has entered the dry season, the river is gentle and clear, and the beaches on both sides of the river are also exposed.

  Many sand gulls and other water birds were looking for food on the beach in groups. When they saw people approaching, they flew up. Seeing that, they were not very afraid of people.

  In fact, as long as you don’t frighten and hurt them, humans and birds can live in harmony, and there is no problem at all.

  The premise is that humans must let these waterfowls have enough trust in themselves.

  Zheng Xiaoxiao leads the fourth and fifth children, and has already started to have fun on the beach. Running on the beach, of course, you can't wear shoes, bare feet, leaving a series of small footprints, that's the most fun.

  Liu Jinfeng, Yang Hongying and Qian Yuzhen also followed behind them, stepping on the soft sand, feeling extremely relaxed.

  Liu Qingshan led a group of men to collect waves by the water.

   Sure enough, as expected, after the flood in summer, some waves piled up on the riverside, just pick them up.

   "I like this very much!"

  Hong Yunsheng held a brown-red wave wood in his arms, which was shaped a bit like an ingot. This guy really had a more businessman-like air to it.

  Zheng Hongqi also found his favorite target, which is a palm-sized wave tree shaped like an eagle with wings spread out. This thing should fit his state of mind and show his grand plans.

  Liu Qingshan didn't care about the three seven twenty-one, just scratched everything, got it back first and then talked about it.

   As for what to carve, it will be up to the future Zhang Jizi and the others to decide.

Yu Laoqi and another man who drove the boat were picking clams by the river. They were all big clams nearly a foot long. , all delicious.

   "The pearl worn by Shan Xing was collected from here, can we look for it again?"

  Hong Yunsheng couldn't help but look happy when he saw the clam ladle, and he didn't think it was dirty, so he squatted there and cleaned it up together.

  Don't look at the dark and dirty surface of the clam shell, but the inner layer of the clam shell is a layer of crystal clear pearl, shining with dazzling brilliance, it is indeed very beautiful.

   "How can it be so easy, Dongzhu is also something you can meet and never ask for."

  Yu Lao Qi broke his head wedge.

  It was Liu Qingshan who said with a smile: "Perhaps in two or three years, we will have Dongzhu. At that time, I really have to trouble Big Brother Hong to help me get in touch."

  He reckoned that Hai Mingzhu would be able to start artificial cultivation of freshwater pearls this autumn, and it should be shipped in three years.

   There is no sales channel yet, this Hong Yunsheng is a good partner.

   While chatting, I saw the fourth and fifth children running over happily, and the fourth and fourth child still held a stone in his hand: "Brother, look at the transparent stone I picked up, isn't it beautiful?"

  When he ran to the front, he lifted the stone up, facing the sun, and squinted one eye to look at it.

  The little dolls in the village are used to calling this light-transmitting stone transparent stone, especially those washed round transparent stones, which are the favorite of the little dolls.

   "This is agate stone, but I don't know if it can reach the gem level."

  Liu Qingshan also went up to watch with her.

  Through the sunlight, the inside is glowing red, and it looks really beautiful.

   "Pearls, agates, jades and emeralds are often said together, so agate must be valuable?"

  The little fourth child is also a fan of small money, so he hurriedly asked.

   "This question, you have to ask Brother Hong, Uncle Hong."

  Liu Qingshan can't tell the grade of agate. Although agate and jade have always been called together, it is obvious that agate is far inferior to jade in terms of fame and value.

   "Okay, let me appraise it. Even if it doesn't reach the gem level, it's good to keep it for fun."

  Hong Yunsheng is very happy to do this kind of thing, firstly because of his professional habits and hobbies, and secondly, Shan Xing still holds a bigger one in his arms.

  Looking at it, he suddenly let out a sigh: "It seems to be very good, it should be regarded as passing the threshold of low-level gems."

  Low-grade gemstones have limited value. At the current price level, they are only worth more than a dozen yuan.

   It would be quite meaningful if you process it and wear it or enjoy it yourself.

   "What about me?"

  The piece that Shan Xing was holding was almost the size of a volleyball, and it was really heavy, so tired that her face was covered with sweat.

  Hong Yunsheng quickly took it, and couldn't help complaining: "You are young, so don't hold such a big stone."

  Shan Xing felt a little embarrassed when she said that, wiped the sweat off her face, and lowered her head: "I, I saw a puddle of water in the stone, and I brought it back for my eldest sister to quench her thirst."

  Is there water in the stone?

  Hong Yunsheng's body trembled when he heard it, and he looked at the big rock in shock.

  Among the many agates, red ones are the most expensive. As the saying goes, agates without red are poor forever, and this is the truth.

  However, the most precious ones are not agates such as southern red or northern red, but during the formation of agate, water or aqueous solution is sealed in the ore, which is called water gall agate.

   This kind is the rarest, and of course it is more precious.

  That's why when Hong Yunsheng heard Shan Xing said that there was water in the agate stone, he immediately acted so shocked.

  He carefully inspected the agate stone the size of a blue ball. Its texture was average, similar to the one just now.

  There is a newly-knocked damage on the surface, like a small window, through which one can see the situation inside the stone.

   Without a strong flashlight at hand, Hong Yunsheng could only pick up the stone and prepare to shine it on the sun.

  Holding up the stone, Hong Yunsheng's hands trembled a little, and he almost threw the stone onto the beach again.

  He felt it, obviously felt that there was liquid shaking inside the stone.

  Through that small window, he also saw that there was a hazy liquid shaking inside the stone.

   It's really water gall agate!

  Hong Yunsheng's heart was beating fast and disappointingly. This water tank agate is big enough and there is enough water in it. It is definitely a treasure!
