………………………………………
The little ant walked on the grass and picked up a piece of biscuit crumbs. A sound came again.
“I hope you give us food.”
I squatted down and looked down at the crackers on its mouth. I took a cookie with great pride, but after I put it down, I found that it was too big for these tiny ants.
So I let the ants walk away a little, and then I crushed a whole piece of biscuit with my hands.
The little ant shouted excitedly from the side, worshiping me under the miraculous rain of food.
After I finished the food rain, it summoned many of its kind and moved the hills made of biscuit crumbs away. At the same time, it expressed its gratitude to me.
I thought of the little gold particle, so I said to it, "Can you trade more of this for food?"
It says yes, as long as I have plenty of food.
Another day later, I went to the table and saw a piece of gold the size of a cookie was placed there.
I can't believe that this is the offering they give me, it's too rich.
After showing the miracle of the two cookies, I selected the little ant I met on the first day as my messenger. Maybe it was because of my eye problems. I think this ant is much more mature than yesterday.
If described as a person's age, he was a young boy in his twenties yesterday, and today he is a mature middle-aged man in his forties.
However, I couldn't care about so much. I came to the county town with gold nuggets as big as biscuits and gold rice grains.
I found a gold shop, but I didn't take out my gold cookies first, but took out the gold rice grains first.
The owner of the gold shop was not too lazy to watch because the gold I took out was very small. I guess he knew the highlight was behind.
He picked it up and took it in front of him and looked at it.
"Where did you dig it?" he asked me.
While talking to the owner of the gold shop, I learned about it through his popular science. It turned out that it was said that this place was a place rich in gold in ancient times.
At that time, when trading with merchants, gold was usually used except for cattle and sheep.
It is said that dog-headed gold and other things were very common at that time.
After so many years of mining, large pieces of natural gold in this place can no longer be found.
Although there is still gold in the land, unless it is large-scale industrialized mining, it will take time and effort and may even be ineffective.
He also said that the government has ordered the gold-rushing ships in the river to be suspended recently. Because some children were swimming in the river, they stepped on the sand pits they made for gold-rushing and drowned.
I thought about it and found a problem, so I asked, "Why does the government not support the gold mining industry."
The boss said, "Don't look at the fact that there is a lot of gold here, it is actually not much when mined. And the grass on the ground needs to be cleaned. Don't you say that it is sustainable now? It is rumored that the central government has issued an order saying that gold will not be mined, otherwise the land will be like that..."
As the boss spoke, he obviously forgot that word. It happened that I had learned this passage in high school, and I continued his words.
“Land desertification.”
"Yes! Yes! That's it." The owner of the gold shop praised me for being knowledgeable. "They said that if grass does not grow on the ground, it will be desertified, and then our grassland will become like the Sahara Desert."
"How is it possible? Our pasture is so good, how can it turn into a desert?"
The owner of the gold shop likes to talk, but I actually noticed that there are not many gold jewelry in his gold shop. After all, there are many people here who see gold. If you want to clean up, just ask the blacksmith to melt it and fight it yourself.
It is estimated that his main business in this store is not to sell gold, but to collect gold.
It seems to be just to confirm what I think.
Someone came in outside the door.
Judging from his appearance, he was big and thick, with gold chains as thick as puppy chains hanging around his neck. He wore a black leather jacket and looked very straight when walking. He looked a bit like a socially ill person.
Of course I know that the real high-end black society is all gentle and gentle. It looks even more righteous than a gentleman on the surface. Such people can both drink and talk to the police officers at the dinner table, and can also talk to the law professors and sit and talk. This is the highest level of being a chaotic person.
However, he seemed to notice that I looked down on him, so he walked to me and pushed me away with force.
He looked at the gold particles on the boss's hand, looked at me mockingly, and said, "Lao Liang, business is not good recently, so you don't have to see this small piece of gold particles so fascinated."
I only realized that the owner of the Jinshang Shop surnamed Liang is much better than this low-level gangster.
He said, "Mosquitoes are small, but they are also meat. No matter how small we are, we can still buy them, otherwise where will the reputation of our store come from."
"I'm talking about it. I just like your personality and came to your store." The nouveau riche took out a small burlap bag from the small pocket on the inside of the leather jacket.
He put the burlap bag on the table, untied the rope that tightened the pocket, and exposed more than ten gold particles of all sizes.
I saw how big he said just now, and I thought he had a lot of gold, but that's it.
I reached into my pocket and felt the size of my golden cookies, which was much larger than his gold particles together.
"There are quite a lot. Didn't your fleet not let you do it?" asked Boss Liang. He picked up the gold particles one by one with his hands and put them in his palm, and judged the purity of the gold roughly by the color.
In this business, there is an old saying.
"Seven green, eight yellow, nine purple, ten red".
It means that the purity of blue gold is 70%, the purity of yellow is 80%, the purity of purple is 90%, and the rosy is 100%.
Of course, absolutely pure matter does not exist. Therefore, red gold is basically what we usually say, ninety-nine thousand full gold.
Most of the gold particles in this person are yellow, and only one is purple. The boss pinched these gold particles with his nails.
Then put the similar colors together and place them on a small balance to weigh the weight.
"It's still calculated based on the old price." Lao Liang thought about the amount of money, took out a stack of money from the wooden box containing the money, counted out a few pieces, and gave them to the nouveau riche.
I looked at the money in his hand and thought to myself that there was not much.
However, he probably mistakenly thought my eyes. He raised a few of the bills in his hand like a show-off and said sarcastically, "Boy, you have never seen so much money. Your gold particle is not worth so much money."
At that time, I really wanted to hold my forehead and sigh. In real life, how could I really meet someone who was like an idiot? Isn’t this giving me a face?
My hands in my pocket were tightly clamped. This person's words got me off. I have always been accustomed to being low-key, so I can barely make a high-profile look.
After the deal between the shop owner and him just now, I knew that this person was just a pseudo-nova.
But I pretended to be difficult on the surface, and said with a slightly ugly face, "In fact, I have one in addition to that gold..."
Or because of my estimated weakness, he did not leave and directly urged me, "What other good products do you have? Let me open my eyes!"
I pretended not to hear the disdain in his tone, and at the same time I felt that the heat was almost done, so I took out the golden biscuits in my pocket in timidly.
Sure enough, his face changed, his mouth wide open, as if he could stuff a goose egg in.
Lao Liang of the Jindian is not calm anymore.
He almost rushed to take away the golden cookies from my hand.
His hand gently stroked the golden biscuit, and I watched him touch the girl's smooth jade body with the emotion, touched the palm print I had just clenched my fist hard, and clenched on the gold.
I couldn't help but feel a chill all over, and goose bumps on my skin were visible to the naked eye.
Is this **?
I really couldn't stand it. So I coughed, cleared my throat and said, "Lao Liang, how much is my gold price?"
Fortunately, Lao Liang heard what I said and walked out of his strongly uncomfortable state.
He said excitedly, "When I saw that your gold particle was very purity. I didn't expect you to have such a big piece. Wait, I'll test it."
The pseudo-nova brothers on the side stopped talking. He felt that his face hurt and it was embarrassing to stay here, but he was unwilling to accept it without seeing Lao Liang's test results. With this complicated mentality, he hesitated for several years, but he remained here.
Lao Liang took out a brocade box from under the counter.
He opened the brocade box and carefully took out the things inside, trying not to leave fingerprints on it.
I have never been in contact with this industry. Based on the stories told to me by adults when I was a child, I guessed that the black stone Lao Liang took out was a touchstone.
Although there have been instruments such as electronic probe method, X-ray fluorescence method, etc., with high-end atmospheric and high-end test results in this era.
However, Lao Liang obviously does not have those equipment here.
Therefore, he still used the most accurate detection method among the old methods.
He picked up the golden cookies with my handprint and drew a trace on the dark touchstone.
If he adds a ruler in this operation, it will be more like a tailor shop where the tailor uses stone to draw cutting lines on his clothes.
Lao Liang did the same thing and drew three scratches in total.
He first looked at the colors of the three stripes, then raised the touchstone high, so that he could see his color in parallel with his sight while facing the sunshine.
"How is this number!" Lao Liang made a gesture.
Maybe it was their professional gestures, which I couldn't understand. However, he said before that he was operating honestly, and I didn't understand the market, so what he said was?
So, after selectively forgetting the old saying that there is no evil and no business, I chose to complete the transaction with Lao Liang.
When I turned around, I realized that the pseudo nouveau riche was gone. I originally thought I could hear some scenes such as "Wait for me" and "I'll be back."
But unexpectedly, he left without saying a word. This really disappointed me a little.
I said goodbye to Lao Liang, and I pinched my three houses in my hand, and paid the total amount of rent for a month, and I left the gold shop.
I saw the nouveau riche outside the door.
