Unlike Jiachuan, as long as it is not in the rainy season, the water flow of Liangshan Prefecture can be predicted, and there will basically be no outbreak of mountain torrents.
The current stream is still one month away. The upcoming rainy season is still there. The stream is not full of water, and a considerable part of the stream bed is exposed on both sides. This part of the stream bed can be used as a trail for horse riding and walking .
The bottom of the stream is very clean, without much fine sand and mud, it is all big and small stones. There are a lot of red sapphires inside the stones, but they are not as bright as water, and many of them have edges and corners.
Fortunately, it is bigger.
Zhou Zhi said with some concern: "Maybe this hot spring pool will not exist for long."
"Why?" Mai Xiaomiao asked in confusion: "Isn't that a pity?"
"Because there may be a Nanhong mineral deposit in this upstream. If the Nanhong price rises, there will be many people coming to mine it. ”
”Is there any way?” Mai Xiaomiao said worriedly. "I'm afraid it's very difficult." Li Laosan said: "If the minerals here really become a wealth, it will definitely not stop the covetousness."
" One method is to seal the ore directly and not allow mining." Zhou Zhi said: "It doesn't matter if it is a waterside mineral. If it is an underground mineral deposit, the law stipulates that it belongs to the state and the state is not allowed to mine. According to the geographical conditions here, machinery and other things cannot be transported in. Can't destroy it."
"There is another way to develop in an orderly manner. Use a reasonable and controllable method to slowly mine the minerals without causing major environmental damage."
"Nanhong Mining and Gem Mining Mining Deposits Similarly, the ore veins are not too large, and the reserves are often less than ten tons. I personally think that using the second method is more appropriate, but which one is used depends on how the country does it. "
" No matter what. It's the method, is exploration the most important? "Li Laosan said: "Don't all those who engage in minerals should explore first?" "
" It depends on whether the state or the country thinks it is worth it. "Zhou Zhi said: "Just like a bloodstone, although it has high value, it is not worthy of a big fight for individuals from the national perspective."
" Then it's better to just leave it alone. "Li Lao San waved his hand: "It's a pity to ruin this place."
"It's not that easy." Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly, "I just hope that the people in Lianhe Township will become rich soon, while the prices of Nanhong are rising slowly, making the villagers look down on the 'little wealth' here and pay more attention to their own villages. The environment and agricultural ecology will bring about protection. "
Agate and flint are easy to find here. Some are still large, but not many that can be worth processing by Suzhou. Most of them have white textures or black dark crystal frozen, which looks unsightly.
But even so, I still picked up a few pieces for Li Laosan. After checking, Zhou Zhi felt that the quality was quite good, and he said he could send it to Suzhou to process it into handicrafts.
This is much more meaningful than what I bought directly. Li Laosan was very happy and said that he did not come in vain.
Zhou Zhi was secretly happy. What was easily hyped up after being involved with people like Li Laosan. How did jade become in the future? Didn’t it be that a few Taiwanese guys used the stories of several “mothers of the country” like jade to fool Hong Kong people, and that became popular?
The three of them rode up three or five miles, but were blocked by a small waterfall ahead. If they wanted to move forward, they had to climb over the mountains on both sides of the waterfall. The horses were absolutely unable to take them.
The waterfall is not big, but because the valley has the function of gathering sounds, the sound is very strong. The water mist blows with the mountain wind, as if it is light rain. Under the waterfall is a deep pool formed by the impact of water flow for many years. The waterfall is green and green. Both sides of the waterfall are covered with aquatic plants such as Cangpu, which grow lushly.
This is the first time Zhou Zhi has seen Cangpu in Liangshan Prefecture. The climate here is too dry and is not suitable for the growth of this type of plant. It is just that this regional environment constitutes a kind of "Microclimate" allowed them to survive here.
Acorus granulated is also one of the aesthetic interests passed down by ancient literati. It is still full of interest to place it on the desk in the study room. However, Zhou Zhi believes that doing this thing in the study room of the grain station can only increase worries. It is so difficult to support this thing under climatic conditions.
Li Laosan is from Hong Kong Island. He has seen this thing a lot, but Mai Xiaomiao thought that it was an orchid, so he was so happy.
At home in Zhouzhi, Manzhou, Mai Xiaomiao had seen all kinds of orchids and liked them very much, so she brought several pots when she left.
Zhou Zhi told her that these orchids are easy to raise in Shu, and if they bring Lianhe Township, they may not survive. The wheat seedlings do not believe in this evil.
The result was that even Li Lu, Liang Guangping and Liu Hongtao, the agricultural experts, had no choice but to use them, and finally put them in the vegetable greenhouse to survive.
After knowing that Cangpu is not an orchid, Mai Xiaomiao felt that it was meaningless here.
After admiring the waterfall for a while, and collecting Nanhong materials, several people embarked on the return journey.
"I'll leave this to you." Li Laosan handed over the material to Zhou Zhi: "Grind a string of beads for your sister, and I said I did it."
"So Shameless?” Zhou Zhi was very surprised.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read! "Don't you think your sister knows? Everyone needs an excuse." Li Laosan was not ashamed but proud.
"It's better to do it yourself, pick a piece of good quality, polish off the sharp edges, throw them into a sand bucket to polish, drill holes and put them on the rope, which is a good casual pendant." Zhou Zhi suggested: "When send it to Hong Kong Island, you can send it to you. , ask my sister to find a designer to customize a Jinto, which would be very beautiful. "
"Is it difficult?" "Not difficult at all." Mai Xiaomiao volunteered: " Now I will do it, Brother San, I will teach you when I go out! "
It's really not difficult to make things that are in shape. It's just to install the grinding wheels with electric grinding to remove the shells and flaws on the surface of the material. Grind the edges according to the shape of the utensil, and the rest is thrown into various polishing sand buckets with vibrating friction for polishing.
After polishing the material to a certain level, use the wool wheel and polishing paste to polish it into a mirror, and the things are done.
This set of things is not expensive, and Zhou Zhi also purchased them. The flame red inside Nanhong is particularly suitable for making pendants of large and small in this way. The natural flame patterns inside can be displayed to the greatest extent, just like the blood-red transparent crystal Wrapped with balls of bright red flames, it is now one of the interests and hobbies of wheat seedlings.
But Zhou Zhi's hobby has advanced to grinding beads. He uses a grinding wheel on the concave spherical surface to gradually process the stone into a spherical shape, and put it in a polishing barrel to process it into a round bead.
Although they are all apprentices, they are at least as craftsmanship as they are advanced. (This chapter ends)
