Chapter 691 The Turning Point of Destiny

Chapter 691 The Turning Point of Destiny

Most of the placer gold deposits are small gold grains, while the large grains of gold are called nuggets, or dog-head gold. Generally, they are called bran wheat gold and Kang gold. Those who can only be called Jin Mo'er.

The higher the gold content of placer gold, the closer the color is to reddish yellow.

The quality chosen by Lu Law Firm is naturally not bad.

Especially the largest piece of dog head gold, weighing three pounds and nine taels, with a smooth periphery and no edges and corners. There are honeycomb-shaped holes in several places on the surface. pretty.

There are also a few smaller ones with different shapes and sizes, all of which are worth admiring.

He took the lead to go panning for gold once, and Lu Lu only got two shares. Even if he chose all the dog's head gold, he himself felt at ease.

Although I only take two copies, in fact, the real value is not much less than three copies. In addition to the dog's head gold, the purity is also stored there. This is the "selfishness" that I have explained to several people.

"I want to emphasize again, these things must be well hidden when you take them back, and you must not pass them on indiscriminately, let alone show them off, at least it is not suitable for this year."

After the dust and gold were separated, Lu Lu told him again, thought for a while, and then said: "Otherwise, we have been tired for a while, so we should work harder and come to my place tomorrow to help, build an earthen kiln, go Buy a bigger crucible from the district...you bring it here, I will help you smelt and purify it, remove some impurities, condense it into a lump, and store it more conveniently."

"This is the best, otherwise it's all fine powder, and if it gets scattered, you can't even pick it up." Zhang Shaofeng nodded.

"It's best to do it at night!" Liang Kangbo added.

"Okay, then come over tomorrow during the day and fix the earthen furnace. It's like a play, and it will be smelted at night. I have some coke here, so I don't need to buy it, but I'd better go to the district to buy the crucible, smelting iron, aluminum, etc. to cast pots and pans There are places here, you have to buy this one, I’m really too lazy to run away, and I can’t spend a lot of money, pay attention, it needs a larger capacity.” Lu Lu said with a smile.

"I'm going to buy things... just right, I haven't been home for more than a month, so I should go to the Armed Forces Department to report and ask what's going on." Zhang Shaofeng nodded and agreed.

The matter was settled like this, each of them collected his gold dust, and Lu Lu also sent his dog's head gold to the bedroom.

It was already evening when Wang Yan, Ma Jinlan and Aunt Duan came back, and everyone came back with half a basket and some more mushrooms.

Seeing the horses on the meadow, she immediately knew that Lu Lu and the others were back, and they all hurried back happily. As soon as they entered the house, Aunt Duan looked at them and patted her legs: "You guys are considered I'm back, and I've been there for more than a month. Look, in the last few days, Xiuyu had to stand at the intersection for more than an hour every day. The lights in the room were also on all night, and the swallows also Follow it every day, and it will almost become a watchdog.

Also, Yuejia, Wu Nakan, and Liang Pao's wife, these days, they come to Xiuyu's place every now and then whenever they have time. They didn't say anything, but people with a discerning eye can tell that they are here for a special visit. Let's see if you are back. "

"Isn't this back? Let them worry!"

Lu Lu turned over and got off the kang, and helped them put the basket on.

"Is everything alright?" Ma Jinlan looked at them and asked with a smile.

Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Auntie will care about people now! With a capable son-in-law like you leading us, what can we do!"

Ma Jinlan smiled awkwardly, of course she knew what Zhang Shaofeng meant: "Isn't the palm of the hand and the back of the hand full of flesh?"

"Just kidding... We are all good, not a piece of skin has fallen off." Zhang Shaofeng said.

"Why didn't I see what you brought back this time? Why did you go into the mountains?" Ma Jinlan looked at the yard outside and then looked around the house, asking a little strangely.

"This time we mainly went into the mountains to inspect and see what else we could do. The main thing was to walk around and visit a lot of places!"

Lu Lu didn't want to spread the word about the gold rush, especially Ma Jinlan, he was still a little worried that she wouldn't be able to control his mouth.

"I see that you are all tired and busy. The life in the mountains is hard... Anyway, as long as you come back properly!" Aunt Duan said with a face full of relief.

At this moment, Chen Xiuyu poked her head out from the kitchen and shouted: "Swallow, come in and help. They have been in the mountains for so many days and haven't eaten anything good. Let's give them a good meal tonight."

"alright!"

Wang Yan, who was blushing and hadn't spoken to the sullen Chen Xiuqing, hurried into the kitchen to help.

"Let's also go to the river to take care of these mushrooms and let them dry...You guys are chattering!"

Aunt Duan said hello to Lu Lu and others, and asked Ma Jinlan to go outside to wash the mushrooms.

Lu Lu took the child over and followed Zhang Shaofeng and the others to drink tea and chat on the kang, teasing the child from time to time.

The little guy was a little reserved at first, but after Lu Lu teased him for a while, he gradually became familiar with him, and he finally heard the little guy call out that father again.

This made Lu Lu very happy, hugged and kissed and rubbed the little guy, giggling at the stubble.

Chen Xiuyu and Wang Yan made all the good dishes at home. They worked for about three hours and prepared a table full of dishes. By the time they really ate, it was already dark.

However, fortunately, the big [-]-watt light bulb in the house is now on, so it doesn't affect it at all.

Lu Lu asked Chen Xiuyu to bring out the blueberry wine at home to entertain everyone.

This wine is softer, he doesn't want a few people to get drunk, it's not good if they go back and talk nonsense.

After a meal, several people went home separately.

Sending away a few people, Lu Lu went back to the house, immediately put together the dog's head gold and the dog's head gold and placer gold brought from Jin Zhiquan, thought for a while, and took out the placer gold, and prepared to do it when the time came. Smelt and purify it, and take a look at the sealed mallet inside. After confirming that there is nothing wrong with it, repack it back.

Then, after Chen Xiuyu had boiled the hot water, he took a comfortable bath in the bathtub, lay down on the kang and fell asleep, not having the energy to communicate with Chen Xiuyu in depth.

The next morning, he woke up naturally until the sun was high, and when he went out of the house, he saw that Chen Xiuyu was already making breakfast again. He went to the kitchen to check, and took the child out of the baby walker.

"Brother Lu, I see that in the barn, you brought back a lot of colorful stones. Besides looking good, what's the use of those things?" Chen Xiuyu obviously didn't care about those agates.

"It's agate. I think it will be very valuable in the future. You can't throw it away. I picked it up on purpose. I will go to see Uncle Kong in two days to see if these things can be carved and processed into some small things..." said Thinking about this, when the honey is cut and I am free, I will still think about it and go pick it up for a few days."

Uncle Kong can do all kinds of jade carvings, and he has such good craftsmanship. Lu Lu believes that even an ordinary stone, in his hands, has the transformation of turning decay into magic, so it should not be wasted.

"Wuyi Ridge, it's not very far from here...Brother Lu, can you take me there then?" Chen Xiuyu asked expectantly, "I haven't been out for a long time."

"If you follow, what will the child do?" Lu Lu asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Xiuyu pouted all of a sudden.

"There is a place where I can take you there." Lu Lu deliberately played tricks.

Chen Xiuyu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, she ran to Lu Lu's side, and looked helplessly, "Where is it?"

"The capital... I want to take you out to see the world!"

"The capital... is it real or not?"

"Of course it's true! I also want to buy some houses over there..."

"What are you buying a house for?"

"When we have money in the future, we can live there at any time. Besides, you can also see that there are more and more rich people now. Who doesn't think that if they can have a suite in the capital, it is the capital city. Ah! In case I can’t buy it if I want to buy it later, right? I’m still thinking about going to Shanghai to buy a set. I’ll go there in winter to watch the sea. I’ll buy a set by the Dianchi Lake in Yunnan. I’ll go there in summer. Escape from the summer heat..."

This is also what Lu Lu had thought a long time ago. How to say, it was also a place where he had many intersections in his life.

When I was a child, I left Yunnan with my mother, wandered to Shanghai, and then moved to the wilderness as a young man, which is a turning point of fate.

Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lu silently, with longing on her face: "Thinking about it is beautiful... Can we live such a life?"

"Definitely!" Lu Lu was full of confidence.

"That's fine, anyway, it's your hard-earned money, you can make the decision, I believe you!"

Chen Xiuyu's happiness made Lu Lu a little dazed. He didn't expect that the matter would be settled so easily.

Such days are indeed beautiful!

Lu Lu didn't look forward to it.

But now, he only has one thought in his heart, to make more money, otherwise he can't afford that kind of life.

Liang Kangbo and others came here sporadically after lunch. As for Zhang Shaofeng, he said he was going to the district. .

Lu Lu immediately called a few people, took the tools and started mixing the yellow mud, which was the yellow mud dug out and piled aside when the cellar was being built.

This kind of stove is not complicated. It can be pasted by relying on yellow mud alone without any other things. It is really like playing with mud. It is made like a chimney, seventy to eighty centimeters high, and a pull-out wooden bellows is added. , when the time comes, it will be convenient to blow air from the bottom to increase the temperature in the furnace. As for adding carbon, just add it from the mouth.

Several big men worked together, and within half an hour, a thick earthen stove was pasted.

It's just a temporary tool, so you don't need to be too particular about it. Lu Lu directly lit firewood in it to dry it. Even if it cracks, it doesn't matter. The smelting placer gold is only over 1000 degrees, and it doesn't need to reach the level of iron smelting.With coke and fan, it is easy to achieve. Of course, the higher the temperature, the better the effect of removing impurities.

After burning it all afternoon, and paste the larger cracks, it can be used at night.

Zhang Shaofeng came back in the evening, bought two crucibles, and even specially brought crucible tongs, so that the crucible can be easily pulled out from the fire.

So, that night, after several people went home to have dinner, they came back after dark with their own placer gold.

The charcoal fire in the earthen furnace was already very prosperous. Starting from Zhang Shaofeng, several people took turns putting their gold placer into the crucible. With the sound of the bellows constantly beating, the placer gold in the crucible was melted in the burning coke. What Lu Lu did was like bubbling soup, using a furnace hook to pick out the sundries floating on the surface of the melted golden sand lava.

As soon as the thing came out of the clay furnace, it immediately solidified and stuck to the furnace hook, and had to be broken with a hammer.

After cleaning up, pour the remaining gold solution into another crucible and cool it into pieces.

However, at this time, holding the knee with one hand and pulling the bellows with the other is definitely a physical work that requires a lot of patience. Several people took turns to go into battle, and the smelting was not completed until the middle of the night.

After several people left, Lu Lu couldn't relax, the gold sand he got from Jin Zhiquan hadn't been smelted yet.
