Chapter 499 Dongzhu Bracelet
It is precisely because of the special and rare formation of dog head gold that it also makes dog head gold more expensive than gold.
The piece of dog's head gold in Lu Lu's hand can't be weighed in a pinch. Lu Lu can only weigh it with the nickname Chen Xiuyu and the others used to sell mountain goods, and it weighs a pound.
If this is placed in 30 or [-] years, it will be worth a lot of money at a few hundred yuan per gram.
You must know that it takes hundreds of millions of years for the production and aggregation of dog head gold to reach about one kilogram, and it is quite rare for a piece of dog head gold to reach a pound of three taels.
There are also bits and pieces of dog's head gold nuggets and gold dust in the bag. The whole bag of gold is more than a kilogram.
Since entering the Guandong, the people who came to the Great Wilderness mainly engaged in five occupations: farming, hunting, logging, carrying sticks and panning for gold.
There are many veins of gold mines around Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and the industry of gold panning has existed since ancient times.
Lu Lu didn't know whether Jin Zhiquan found the dog's head gold himself or got it from others by means, but he knew that there was probably a dog's head gold vein where the dog's head gold was found.
Isn't it a pity to beat Jin Zhiquan to death directly?
But after thinking about it, if you don't beat him to death, it's impossible for you to lose these things.
I really don't know how Jin Zhiquan messed up in his previous life. He had so many good things, but in his previous life he chose to hang himself on a tree with a crooked neck after losing money from growing ginseng.
Lu Lv thought about it for a long time, and combined with Jin Zhiquan's well-dressed clothes, even if he fled to hide in the mountain beyond Taoshan, he never forgot to hook up with the little widow, have a hot fight with the production team leader, and often eat out, it's not difficult to know, he is also A master who knows how to enjoy.
If you still gamble, no amount of money will be enough to throw away.
Lu Lu didn't bother to think too much, anyway, the thing is in his own hands now, so it is his own, no matter what the reason is.
But it was this dog head gold that gave Lu Lu a new idea.
In addition to hunting and carrying a mallet, you can also try your luck.
When he had this idea, Lu Lu almost immediately thought of Huma, the place where the most dog-headed gold appeared in Xing'an Mountains.
The reform and opening up was the time when hard currency like gold was urgently needed. Two years earlier, an extremely mysterious gold troop with over [-] people had been established, specializing in surveying and searching for gold.
But at this stage, the control is not strict enough. Some people even know the existence of the gold army and follow them all the time. When the army finds the ore vein and sets the coordinates, they exaggerately set up a machine to crush and screen the ore 200 meters away.
It was not until the mid-to-late 90s that special patrolling armed police were deployed to strictly control this kind of chaotic scene.
Of course, when looking for gold, Lu Lu just thought about it and tried his luck.
After all, there are too many people staring at this stuff, it's not real enough.
He just thought that when he had the opportunity to pass by these places, he would take a look.
When Chen Xiuyu looked at the gold, her eyes were shining, her throat became dry, and she couldn't help swallowing one after another.
Lu Lu couldn't help laughing: "Daughter-in-law, take care, these things can't be moved, you have to keep them well, you have to understand a truth, big trees attract wind, and too much money attracts disasters. If people know about these things, we will be punished." There are too many people who make up their minds, and they can't keep it at home every day, and maybe their lives will be involved."
When Chen Xiuyu heard this, she was as smart as she was, so how could she not know the power of it, her head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Lu Lu carefully packed these Goutou Jin and Jin Sha's children into a bag, tightened the mouth of the bag again, and tied them up firmly.
Now, only the last tarpaulin sack remains.
He put the things on the table, quickly unwrapped them, and found that there was also a small bag that could be tightened inside.
I squeezed it casually, and there were some marble-like things inside.
Frowning slightly, Lu Lu untied the bag, and when he saw what was inside, his eyes narrowed.
Inside the bag is a pearl bracelet, which emits dazzling multicolored light under the light of the flashlight.
Eighteen of these pearls are strung together into a bracelet.
The texture of each pearl is round and huge, and the color is crystal clear.
He could recognize at a glance that it was a pearl produced in freshwater mussels in Northeast China, also known as Dongzhu.Every East Pearl is hard-won and precious.
There is a saying that there is no clam in an easy-to-count river, and there is no pearl in a boat full of clams.
That is to say, if you look for several rivers, you won't find a mussel, and if you collect a boat of mussels, you may not be able to find a single East Pearl.
It can be seen that it is rare.
In China, the pearls produced in the West are called Xizhu, and those produced in Guangdong and other places are called Nanzhu. Both are saltwater pearls.The Dongzhu is the only freshwater pearl in China. It is difficult to form and is much rarer than marine pearls. Due to the cold weather, the formation is extremely slow.Probably because it is in the northeast, Dongzhu will also be called Beizhu. It is produced in the Songhua River, HLJ, Wusuli River, Yalu River and their watersheds.
In the Qing Dynasty, Dongzhu was a royal jewel for the royal family, and hiding a pearl privately was a serious crime of beheading.It is said that He Shen was killed, and one of the charges was for hiding Dongzhu.
Lu Lu met him in his previous life.
During the Qing Dynasty, the mussels in these rivers were almost extinct.In later generations, most of the Dongzhu that can be seen are artificially bred.
Lu Lu was still calm when he saw other things, but he was not calm when he saw this bracelet.
You know, the Dongzhu that still exists now are all antique pearls.
Each of the eighteen pearls on this bracelet is worth a fortune.The selling price of these beads alone is far higher than those dog head gold.
I really don't know where Jin Zhiquan got all these good things.
But Lu Lu also knows that all the things here can be used, only the 1 yuan and those oil and cloth tickets. As for the rest, they can only be sealed, unless they have to be taken out. emergency.
"Daughter-in-law, these things are too valuable, but after all, they are things that Jin Zhiquan hooked up with those gangsters. They are all stolen goods. This matter must be kept in the stomach and no one should know about it. Otherwise, we will I'm afraid I'm going to die, so I must keep my mouth shut, and it's best not to even think about it."
Hand it over, it is impossible to hand it over, Lu Lu has only one way, hide it.
When Chen Xiuyu heard this, she also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she just nodded silently.
That night, Lu Lu couldn't wait to find Zuo Songling to make a box, so he immediately took out a wooden box for clothes from the house, put the things in it carefully, and then moved to the stairs and climbed to the wooden roof. Place things carefully in the mezzanine.
This is bound to be a restless night.
Lu Lu was better, he had experienced many things in his previous life, and he was tired from the three days of running around, so he fell asleep soon.
Chen Xiuyu couldn't fall asleep peacefully, and lay on the kang tossing and turning. On the second day, what she got in exchange was thick dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
After Lu Lu woke up, she was comforted for a long time before she fell into a deep sleep on the kang.
At night, it began to snow again, and another layer of more than ten centimeters was piled up.
Lu Lu put on his clothes and got out of the kang, took a shovel, first shoveled off the snow in the yard, cleared the road, and then started to get hay for the horses and deer, and some hazelnuts, mixed with corn, to feed the children Dragon in a cage.
After working hard all morning, it was almost noon.
Neither Ma Jinlan nor Aunt Duan came over today, but Chen Xiuqing came instead.
After entering the courtyard, he directly said to Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, the date of engagement has been chosen. The day after tomorrow... come with me again."
"No problem!" Lu Lu agreed with a nod, and instructed: "I invited Uncle Wang when I proposed marriage, this time, I have to invite him!"
"I know, I've already told them at their house! I'll call you the morning after tomorrow!"
After Chen Xiuqing finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I'm going to cook soon..."
This kid is a little abnormal today. If it were the same as in the past, once he came, he would never leave without eating a meal.
"Brother Lu, I've already eaten at home. I'm going to the market today. I have to buy some things for my engagement. The carriage is still parked on the road outside. My mother and Mrs. Duan are going too, and they're all waiting outside." Chen Xiuqing turned her head and smiled at Lu Lu, before leaving quickly.
Chen Xiuqing has always been very concerned about the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law.
No wonder neither Ma Jinlan nor Mrs. Duan came over today.
Since he was busy with something, Lu Lu didn't show any politeness to him. He went back to the house and checked in the bedroom first. Chen Xiuyu was still soundly asleep.
He didn't intend to disturb her, so he went to the kitchen to light the fire, cooked some frozen dumplings and ate them, and took a few frozen pears and put them in the cold water in the basin for later in the afternoon.
Next, there was nothing to do, so Lu Lu took the red deer head that had been left in the cellar for several days back home.
Originally, he wanted to get a complete animal head decoration, but unfortunately, to make this thing better preserved, the flesh and blood inside the deer head needs to be completely removed, so that the eyeballs cannot be left. These days, It is not easy to find plastic imitation deer eyeballs. The deer head ornaments made in that way will become empty and boring without eyes.
So, while shopping in the district, Lu Lu changed his mind and planned to make an animal bone ornament.
After finding a few sacks to place on the ground, Lu Lu took a hunting knife and carefully peeled off the deerskin from the skull.
As for the head of the deer, he found oiled paper and adhesive tape, and wrapped the place where the antlers and the skull connect to protect it.
The easiest way to remove the flesh and blood inside is to boil it in water.
Therefore, Lu Lu directly turned on the stove in the kitchen, added water to the iron pot, which was close to the position of the antlers, and set it in the pot to cook.
As for the deerskin that was peeled off from the deer's head, Lu Lu shoveled the oily skin, washed it and stretched it to dry in a frame. He only waited for the real eyeballs to be obtained in the future, and then covered the deer's head. At that time, It can also be a lifelike deer head.
When Chen Xiuyu woke up, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. She went to the kitchen and saw that Lu Lu was carves the meat of the deer head that had been cooked for nearly two hours. The mandible had been removed by Lu Lu. Use a knife to carefully remove the muscles wrapped on it little by little, and it is almost done.
After these soft tissues are cleaned, put them in a bucket and soak them in bleach for a period of time to make the deer skulls white, then use alcohol to remove the odor, dry them and fix them to make animal bone ornaments.
Seeing that Chen Xiuyu woke up and finally recovered a lot, Lu Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let you watch those things!"
"If you don't watch it, you might not be able to fall asleep!" Chen Xiuyu also laughed.
Lu Lu thought for a while, and thought it was true, maybe it would be difficult to fall asleep if he didn't watch it, this damn curiosity.
"Calm down, adjust well these few days, and just get used to it... By the way, I must be hungry. If you want to eat, I will make it for you!"
Chen Xiuyu looked at the deer head that Lu Lu was playing with: "How about frying some venison?"
Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, not to mention cooking, even putting on shoes is very difficult.
Lu Lu put aside what he was doing and went outside to dig out some venison brought back from the snow. After defrosting, he cooked a bowl of venison for Chen Xiuyu and served it with a few side dishes.
When he ate frozen dumplings in the morning, he was simply fooling around. When the food was cooked, he also poured himself some blueberry fruit wine and ate another meal with Chen Xiuyu.
After a meal, Lu Lu continued to process the deer skulls. After cleaning them, he put water in a bucket, added the bleach he bought, soaked the deer heads, and put them in the kitchen.
Next, Lu Lu accompanied Chen Xiuyu for a walk in Caodianzi for half an hour, and after dealing with the chores in Caodianzi, the day passed quietly.
