Chapter 661 Little God of Wealth

  Liu Qingshan held the cobblestone in his hand. It was roughly round in shape, and the surface was black and chubby, probably because it was washed in the water for a long time.

  The stone is very transparent, and you don’t need to shine it on the light, you can see a golden red inside, and the color is very beautiful.

  If this is carved into a utensil and then polished, it must be very dazzling.

  Liu Qingshan stretched out his hand to touch the little boy's head: "Where did this agate stone come from? Did you pick it up by the river?"

  Since there are agate mines, there must also be materials washed by the river, which are similar to jade. Such materials are often of the best grade.

   "Yeah." The little guy nodded, then thought about it, and grinned: "It looks good when it's exposed to the sun."

  Looking at the little guy in front of him, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of the second son from Jiapigou, so he said with a smile:

   "I want this piece of agate, but if you want to buy sugar, then you guys have to prepare a big flour bag."

  The kids didn’t understand at first, but one of them was the first to react:

   "That's not a lot of money, oh!"

  The children shouted and jumped together, and the big snot bubbles were almost beautiful.

  Liu Qingshan took out two Wushi notes: "I'll give this to your lord when I go home."

   Then he took out another five-yuan steelworker: "You take this to buy sugar."

  He knew that even if the children had big tickets, they would definitely be confiscated by their parents, so he gave them another five-yuan ticket.

  The little boy took the banknotes, looked at the two fifty-yuan bills, turned them over and over, and muttered:

   "I haven't seen such money, so it can't be fake?"

  Han Huohu snatched the big ticket from Xiaowazi's hand: "I'll hand it to you later, you little bastards, why don't you want to spend money here?"

  The children took five yuan and ran away in a hurry. There was no small store in their village, so they had to travel more than ten miles to the retail store of the supply and marketing cooperative in the brigade to buy sugar.

  Han Huohu also carefully looked at the big bill in his hand: "I heard that fifty yuan was offered, and this is really the first time I have seen it."

   It’s no wonder that children don’t know each other, even adults.

  Liu Qingshan handed the piece of water to Xiaohao, told him to keep it first, and then said to Han Huhu:

   "Old Uncle Han, wait until next summer and lead everyone to look for more in the river. This kind of running water material is better in quality and more valuable."

  Han Huohu also nodded vigorously. He also thought of this problem just now. If the river is not frozen now, he wants to take someone to look for it tomorrow.

   Several people were chatting, when they saw someone push the door and enter the room, holding a three-flat and four-round stone in his arms, which looked about a circle smaller than a volleyball.

  The visitor was in his thirties, sloppy, and after taking off the dog fur hat on his head, there were several patches of ringworm on his head, which is generally called bald shavings here.

   "Scorpion, why are you here?" Han Laohu was a little disgusted.

  Han Laizi kept nodding his head and bowed his waist: "I heard that this little brother collects stones. I just happen to have one."

  This guy looks very happy, with a pair of eight-character eyebrows, and when he talks, his eyebrows are still running around.

  Liu Qingshan found the shadow of Zhang Ganzi from him, so he nodded to the other party: "Okay, I'll take a look at it on the ground first, it's big enough."

   "Okay, okay, thank you brother, thank you brother." Han Lingzi was a little excited and kept bowing.

   As soon as he shook, Liu Qingshan's sensitive ears heard the sound of cooing, as if it came from the opponent's belly.

   Could it be that he just filled his stomach with water and just wandered around?

  It’s winter, who has nothing to pour so much cold water, could it be...

   Liu Qingshan's attention was immediately placed on that stone.

   And this Han Laizi threw the stone in his arms on the ground with a plop, which was land anyway.

  I saw him clapping his hands: "Brother, let me tell you, this rock is different from other rocks. When it shakes, there will be gurgles inside."

   "I reckon, there must be water in it, and the bottle is not half full."

  Han Huohu stretched out his palm and slapped Han Laizi **** the head: "I think you are a bottle full of dissatisfaction with that guy, and you smashed my house!"

   After speaking, he rubbed his palm on his trousers twice in disgust, as if he was afraid of getting ringworm on his hand.

   But Liu Qingshan didn't pay attention to them. At this moment, he was holding the stone in his arms and shaking it gently back and forth.

   Sure enough, there was a gurgling sound inside the stone.

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help being overjoyed: "This is water gall agate, which is more precious than ordinary agate."

  Hearing what he said, Han Lingzi immediately got excited: "Brother, how much is that worth? Can I exchange for a card of Great Unity?"

  This requirement is a bit too low, even the worst water tank agate is more than this price.

  But Liu Qingshan is not a professional researcher of jade, he just learned some superficial knowledge from Master Lu.

  How this piece of water tank agate is depends on the texture and color inside, so it is difficult for him to draw conclusions.

   This kind of agate as long as there is water in it is relatively rare.

  This kind of agate often requires the carver to conceive carefully to highlight the water inside the agate.

  For example, if there is water in the carved old birthday star, put it in the peach;

  The objects carved out in this way are often ingenious and intriguing.

  This piece of water tank agate, Liu Qingshan is going to take it back to Zhang Shuzi, and ask him to carve it into a large ornament.

  After deliberating for a while, Liu Qingshan became concerned: "This big brother..."

   "Hey, you can just call me Laizi, that's what everyone calls me." Han Laizi scratched his head, making people afraid to look directly at him.

   "Okay, lame brother, do you think this is okay? I can't say the value of your agate stone. I'll give you five hundred yuan first. If it's worth more, how about replenishing it later?"

  Liu Qingshan doesn't want to take advantage here either. With his current wealth, if he still plays tricks on these ordinary people, it will be too tasteless.

   "Five hundred!"

  Han Laizi jumped up suddenly, his head almost hit the paper shed: "Five hundred yuan is enough for me to marry a wife!"

   Yes, this one is also a bachelor, and his ideals are similar to those of Zhang Ganzi back then.

  Liu Qingshan asked Xiaohao to pay, and then said to Han Laizi with a smile:

   "Brother Laizi, don't worry, I suggest you take the money first and go to the hospital to cure the tinea capitis, so that the girl is willing to marry you."

  Han Huohu interjected beside him and said, "An old errand runner in his thirties, where else can he find a girl? It would be nice to find a widow."

   "Meet, widow too!"

  Han Laizi took the banknote, his eyebrows were running wildly over his eyes, he bowed vigorously to Liu Qingshan, and then ran out of the house in a hurry.

   As a result, there was a bang, and the head hit the door frame. It must have been buzzing.

   "Excellent." Han Huo cursed with a smile. "Scorpion, listen to Qingshan, go and treat the skin disease first, and wait for the agates in our village to be sold, and worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law."

  Han Laohu was in a good mood, and he finally found a little bit of Wang Dafu's feeling: it's good to be rich.

   But it's only a little bit, after all, it's not guaranteed yet.

When everyone returned to Wangjiaweizi from Xiawa Village, the sky was darkened, and Han Laohu also followed. He also decided to go to that Jiapigou. Yes, he heard from his in-laws that it was called an investigation, and he also wanted to go to investigate. .

  On the second day, Liu Qingshan and his party set off. There were too many people to sit in the driver's cab. Fortunately, Wang Dafu and Han Huhu were all dressed thickly and sat in the cab.

  The truck ran for two hours, then stopped, and let them go down for a while. Finally, the road was bumpy, and after two days, they finally returned to Jiapigou.

  When the big truck drove into the village, it happened to be noon, and a group of children surrounded it first.

  Liu Qingshan got out of the car, and yelled at the kids who were climbing up the car: "There's nothing to eat, it's all stones, just chew on them if you're not afraid of getting your teeth broken."

  The children lifted the tarpaulin and saw that it was really a stone, so they were very disappointed.

   "There is nothing to eat, but something to play with." Liu Qingshan took a canvas bag from the car and threw it on the ground with a clatter.

  Er Manzi opened the zipper and took a look, and immediately cheered: "Bullet casing!"

  The bag is full of yellow bullet casings, which are the favorite of children, so you divide them up one by one.

   This is what Liu Qingshan asked for from the border guards for the children. He also came here when he was a child, so of course he knows the children's preferences best.

  The adults also came over, Zhang Ganzi folded his sleeves, and asked with a smile: "Qingshan, pull so many stones, are you going to build a house?"

  Liu Qingshan also blinked: If you build a house with jade, wouldn’t it be as good as the golden house of Emperor Wu of Han?

  Big Zhang Luo slapped his thigh vigorously: "Qingshan, you are building a house, you are not planning to marry a wife, don't worry, uncle will take good care of you."

  Yes, I just thought of the golden house, and I used it. People have a golden house to hide their beauty, so let's come to a jade house to hide their beauty.

   "It's time for Qingshan to marry a wife. The big ones are about to have a baby, and Er Biaozi is going to get married soon. Only Qingshan is left."

  Dashuai Zhang also joined in, and everyone was quite concerned about Liu Qingshan's marriage, as if it was real.

  Liu Qingshan saw Wang Dafu and the others in the car getting down and stretching their legs, so he hurriedly introduced them to everyone.

  After the introduction, Han Laohu looked at both sides of the road, feeling a little puzzled: This Jiapigou is similar to our Xiawa Village, and they are also grass houses?

  At this time, a shout suddenly came from the carriage: "Yushi, Qingshan, how did you get back so many jade stones!"

  It was Zhang Jizi who came home from the holidays for the New Year. He was squatting in the back of the car with his face full of excitement, holding a piece of white jade the size of a fist in his hand, and muttering in his mouth:

   "It's a bit like Hetian jade, but it seems a bit wrong, the color is whiter, but not so moist, strange, strange..."

  For those who learn to carve, the first step is to learn to identify materials, so in terms of jade identification, Zhang Jizi definitely surpasses Liu Qingshan.

   "Second brother, you come down first, I still have good things here." Liu Qingshan waved Zhang Jizi down.

   Then he took out a few agate carved ornaments from the cab.

   "The quality of this agate is good." Zhang Xiaozi praised, and then suddenly became irritable, his quiet face flushed instantly:

   "This carving is too bad, it's a waste of a good thing, who carved it?"

   Seeing that what he was holding in his hand was his old birthday star, Han Huhu said, "Yes, it's me..."

   As a result, Zhang Shuzi rushed up to him and shook the old birthday boy in his hand:

   "If you don't have that ability, don't use a knife easily. You will ruin the good things. They could have been sold for a thousand, but now they are not worth even five hundred!"

  What the hell, this item is worth five hundred yuan!

  Han Huohu's eyes were also wide open. As for Zhang Ganzi's reprimand, he hadn't thought about it at all.

  Liu Qingshan saw Zhang Shuzi's heartbroken posture, and hurriedly carried the piece of water gall agate from the car: "Second brother, you should study this."

   Zhang Xiaozi squatted on the ground angrily, and checked the agate: "The texture is slightly worse than those few objects, but it is big enough, and the value is about the same."

   "Second brother, you can hold it up and shake it again." Liu Qingshan now has a bottom line in his heart.

   What are you talking about? Although Zhang Shuzi was a little puzzled, he picked up the stone obediently, and then there was a gurgling sound.

   "Ah, water gall agate!"

  As soon as Zhang Shuzi's arm trembled, the stone, which was one size smaller than the volleyball, fell down, and underneath was Zhang Shuzi's foot.

   If it hits it, it is estimated that several bones will be broken.

  Suddenly a foot stretched out from the side, and supported the stone with the surface of the foot, unloaded the force downward, and lifted it upward again, and the stone was held in Liu Qingshan's arms again.

   "Fortunately, if the water tank inside is broken, it will be a waste of things." Zhang Shuzi didn't think about his feet at all.

  Han Huhu blinked his eyes twice: If this person sees Han Laizi throwing stones directly on the floor of my house, what will happen?

  However, Han Huohu admired the young man who knew how to carve, and was so obsessed with it.

   Generally, such people are usually outstanding in their field of expertise.

  When Liu Qingshan saw Zhang Shuzi this time, he also clearly felt the change in him.

  Mainly in terms of temperament, Zhang Jizi became more confident.

  This kind of self-confidence, Liu Qingshan has felt in some successful people later.

  In his opinion, the younger generation of Jiapigou should be like this. Only in this way can Jiapigou become stronger from generation to generation.

  Zhang Xiaozi looked at the piece of water gall agate again and again, muttering:

   "Be careful when you turn back, wipe off the outer skin, look at the size and position of the water bladder inside, and then think about what to carve into. If the water bladder inside is broken, it will be worthless."

   "If this thing is carved, it will be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. If there is more courage and water in it, the value can be even higher."

  How many tens of thousands?

  Han Huhu swayed, and quickly put his hands on Wang Dafu's shoulders. He was really afraid that if he couldn't bear such a large sum of money, he would be directly knocked unconscious, which would be embarrassing.

  Wang Dafu patted him on the shoulder: "In-laws, this time your Xiawa Village also has hope."

  Han Huohu nodded vigorously, and suddenly felt a burst of heat in his heart.

  He looked towards Liu Qingshan: This is really the little God of Wealth!
