Chapter 1030 Snail Fossil (9000 Words, Monthly Vote +2)

Lin Xiuqing was there again this morning looking at the dried fish. She was really afraid of rain.

As long as it was dry enough, she quickly put it away and moved all the freshly dried ones outside the open space into the workshop.

The earliest ones were all dried inside the workshop. There was not enough space to dry them in the back, so they were hung at the door or outside the wall. There was no cover at all, and it looked very insecure.

So from yesterday to today, she kept collecting the dry ones and moving the wet ones in, so that the small room in the workshop was full, and Wang Guangliang came over and said that they couldn't put it away.

After walking around for a while, Ye Yaodong went to watch them move goods on the tractor. After the new year, their delivery of goods was much more orderly. When the bags of goods were collected and packed, they would also be weighed with a wooden scale. , each bag is fixed at about 100 kilograms.

In this way, the number of bags of goods transported each time and the weight can be directly calculated, which is very trouble-free. Ah Qing can also count the weight of the goods that are put into the warehouse every day, and the weight of each time that is shipped out of the warehouse, it seems to have begun to take shape.

The originally immature faces of Wang Guangliang and others have become a little more mature after more than half a year of serious work. They no longer look as careless and arrogant as they did at the beginning, and they look like a good young man. .

Sure enough, people still have to take the right path. A positive life can change a person's mental outlook.

"Work hard, kids. I will give you a salary increase at the end of the month. How much money was originally given to you?"

Wang Guangliang's eyes lit up and he immediately ran over, "Brother Dong, my sister-in-law originally calculated 40 yuan for us."

"Okay, with the new year and new atmosphere, a salary increase is also appropriate. I will give you all a 5 yuan increase, and I will give you 45 yuan at the end of the month."

"Thank you, Brother Dong. We are really lucky. Fortunately, we hugged each other shamelessly. Otherwise, we would still be wandering around every day. How could we be as happy as we are now and still receive wages."

"Work hard and I won't treat you badly. At the end of the year, I will give you another year-end bonus so that you can happily marry a wife early."

"Don't tell me, Brother Dong, I'm only 18. During the Chinese New Year this year, someone came to my house to introduce me to a partner. They said that my monthly salary is dozens of yuan, which is better than my parents, and I can marry a wife."

"Me too, me too. During the Chinese New Year, all the seven aunts and eight aunts at home came to ask me how much my monthly salary is. They all praised me for my achievements and wanted to introduce girls from their relatives to me. Oh my god, I'm so enthusiastic. , even in the first half of last year, I was still considered disgusting.”

"Isn't it true? Last year during the Chinese New Year, everyone pointed their fingers at me and preached. This year, everyone has changed their attitude and praised me for my achievements. The girls came over one by one and said that they can get married first and get the certificate later. I almost lost my virginity."

"Hahaha, I see you chatting with this girl every day after dinner, and walking with that girl, and your mouth is split to the back of your ears. Honestly, have you ever gotten into a haystack..."

"Go away, I'm very picky."

Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "You have to choose. You are now salaried people. There are not many people in the village at your age who can earn more than you. What kind of village beauty? Isn't it up to you to choose?"

"Hehe, that's right."

"Hurry up and get to work, don't talk nonsense, load up the cart and send it to the city as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, work, work."

Ye Yaodong also went home and brought a bucket of hairy fish over. The top was covered with ice cubes, and then covered with rags. No one could see what it was. He put it in the corner behind the tractor. Anyway, it was fine. Continue to stack the dried fish.

After the tractor was piled with high-end goods, he used the nylon bags that had covered the boxes in the yard to cover the dried fish and tied them waterproof. After checking, he waved his hand and asked the two to open. Set off on the tractor.

The weather won't be good lately, just in case.

Then he went to the village committee to call Aguang and explain to him.

Huimei had asked for leave years ago, saying that Aguang had some work outside the store and she would have to help out for a few months. Fortunately, the village committee had nothing to do. She usually only sorted out the documents. It wouldn't be a big problem without her.

Ye Yaodong thought that if she had just given birth to a child, she would not be able to go to work in the past two years. With Aguang's family background, she would not be short of this salary. He was thinking about when he could go to the city to talk to her and just quit. Forget about the work of the village committee, the quota will be reserved for later use.

As for whether it will count in the future, he thinks the village committee will give him this face.

When the girls in the family grow up, they will be able to arrange a place to work if necessary.

After making the call, he rode his bicycle to town again. His father told him to buy wires and snacks for the children. A man must keep his word.

But when he finished shopping and was about to ride back, the originally overcast sky suddenly darkened, and a drizzle of rain fell unexpectedly.

"Fuck..."

Ah Qing, that crow-mouthed person who said it would rain rain early in the morning, was really right again.

The originally bright sky suddenly became clouded and darkened, and a bolt of lightning flashed across.

Boom boom~

Two thunderbolts also hit the ground, making a roaring sound.

Ye Yaodong pedaled his bicycle faster immediately, but the rain also became heavier, and large raindrops fell, directly blurring his vision.

Mudd, after cursing in his mind, he stopped the car first and put the pastries, pancakes, maltose, etc. wrapped in newspapers in the basket in front of the car into his coat pocket.

These things are just wrapped in a layer of newspaper. Unlike soda, instant noodles are waterproof.

After stuffing his pockets full, he hurried back home.

Fortunately, Ah Qing had put away most of the dried fish in the past two days, and the ones that were originally drying in the open space were moved into the workshop. At least there was a nylon bag on top, which could block some of the rain.

If you go back later, you have to look at the gap where the nylon straps are spliced ​​on the top and move the ones that need to be moved.

Your sister really doesn't follow martial ethics and engages in sneak attacks. It rained in the sea early yesterday morning, and he thought it would drift to the shore during the day. Unexpectedly, it didn't rain until today, and it rained when he went out.

It was obviously cloudy when we first came out, and there was no warning at all.

After the raindrops fell for a while, it became a little lighter and turned into a drizzle.

The hat attached to the cotton-padded jacket was blown over by the wind soon after he put it on. He was too lazy to reach out to get it again, so he just let it get wet.

By the time he rode home in the rain, he was soaked from head to toe.

The old lady rushed forward with a towel in her hand, "Wipe it quickly, wipe it, don't catch a cold. It's raining so hard right now. Why don't you find a place to take shelter from the rain on the way?" Coming back so wet..."

"Who knows when the rain will stop? This morning, it looks almost the same as in the evening. I thought it wouldn't stop so easily, so I rode back directly, ha ha~"

After he pushed the bicycle to the corner of the room and put it away, he took out the items from the front basket and placed it on the table. He then dug through the pockets on both sides until everything was taken out.

"Change out of your wet clothes first, so you don't catch a cold."

The old lady couldn't reach his face, so she could only wipe the water on his cotton-padded jacket with a towel. Ye Yaodong took the towel in her hand and wiped his face first and then his head.

"Where's my dad?"

"In the workshop, after asking you to buy wires, he went to the workshop to help. The old guy didn't let you buy it earlier and later. When he asked you to buy it, you got wet all over."

The old lady took another handcloth from under the table and wiped the rain off his body, complaining.

"It's okay, haha~ I'm going to change clothes first."

He kept sneezing and sneezing, and this time it really rained for half an hour, and his body felt cold to the core.

"Take a hot bath."

"OK."

However, after taking a hot bath, he still sneezed again and again. The cold medicine he grabbed when he boarded the boat the day before yesterday was not used because he didn't catch a cold in the rain yesterday. However, it really came in handy this time. By the evening, he felt a little better. Headache, low fever, cheeks flushed.

At this time, he didn't care about resting, so he immediately put on his rain boots, picked up his umbrella and walked to the workshop.

He had to check the condition of the dried fish, whether it had been exposed to rain, the condition of the butchering, and how much was left to be dried.

The people in the workshop were busy working there, killing fish and drying fish. It was no different from before he left, except for the patter of rain above their heads.

Everyone was sitting there and discussing in a low voice. It rained at the wrong time. There were too many goods to be dried in the workshop. We didn’t know how long it would rain. If the freshly slaughtered meat was left out for too many days, it would not dry out and would be damaged by the rain. It might get damaged if it gets wet...

They were also afraid of being heard, so they all spoke very quietly, and they all shut up when he came in.

They were not afraid to hear their daily gossip and discussions, no matter how loud they were, but now they didn't dare to say bad words in front of him.

Ye Yaodong also walked directly past them and walked inside, where Lin Xiuqing and his parents were sorting goods.

"Have all the people outside been brought in?"

"It's taken in, where have you been?"

"Dad asked me to go to the town to buy him electric wires. I just came back after getting soaked. I told you yesterday that it would rain. Fortunately, it was a day late. I told my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law later that they shouldn't pick out the average-sized ones. Let's take them all to ferment. If they are really big, just take them out and slice them into salted fish, and don't dry them in the sun. There are enough open spaces here, and most of them are half dry."

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "That's okay, just marinate it into salted fish. It won't go bad and you don't have to wait for it to dry."

Fortunately, the fish they dry here are marinated for a while, and then the salt on the surface is washed off and then dried. As long as it is ventilated, it will not go bad even if it is dried for a few days.

It rained all day long, and the old aunts in the workshop also finished their work in the evening and went back. It was originally expected that they would have to wait until tomorrow, but most of the groceries were fermented, which saved trouble. Quite a few.

The big ones were slaughtered, marinated, and placed in a clean large vat.

In the evening, the tractor came back and said that it had not rained when we left, but it rained when we arrived in the city. Fortunately, it was covered with a layer of nylon bags and the dried fish was not wet.

They were also more careful when unloading, but there was no loss.

The whole family felt relieved after hearing it during dinner.

"It rains all the time, and I don't know when it will stop?"

"Who knows, let's wait and see in two days. Anyway, it hasn't been exposed to rain, so it won't be bad if it is left for two days."

"Pay attention to the weather forecast at night. The weather forecast is not accurate in reporting other weather conditions, but when it rains, it is quite accurate in reporting whether it will be rainy or sunny."

Ye's mother suddenly gossiped, "Wang Laoqi's family in the village made a big fuss at the door today. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home were scolding each other. It rained and they had no place to dry their dried fish. They pointed at each other. The men in the family scolded me terribly."

Ye Yaodong was confused for a moment, and then he suddenly realized who he was talking about, "Wang Laoqi and his son who went to the market to sell dried fish after the New Year, lost all their money and were beaten up?"

"Yeah, I just got out of bed a few days ago, and I asked Wang Laoqi, who had collected a lot of fish at the dock and was going to dry it again. Today was miserable. The mother-in-law was crying and cursing at the door, saying that she wanted to pay for it. I have nothing to go back to, and I still say why I have to imitate you, this is terrible."

He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "It just rained for a day or two, so it should be okay? Most of the sunburned things some time ago should have been put away."

"Who knows how long it has been raining, but I heard that his mother-in-law scolded her while collecting dried fish in the rain. After collecting it, she sat at the door crying and calling her mother. She said that the money was spent in vain. It was all prodigal men who had to dry it. Now If you don’t make any money, you have to lose it again.”

"My hair is long but my knowledge is short. I started crying even before it rained. I'll wait for the next week's rain and the dried fish will stink. It's too late to cry again...ah...the bad ones don't work, but the good ones work. Good luck..."

Father Ye looked at the glares from the whole family and hurriedly sighed twice, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.

"Where are you peeing? Are you disgusting? Are you spitting in my direction?" Mother Ye stared at him with eyes that were not eyes and a nose that was not a nose.

Father Ye knew that what he said was wrong and he was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just glared back, as if this would prevent him from falling behind.

Ye Yaodong felt that he had found the reason why Ye Chenghe couldn't speak and had low emotional intelligence.

I didn't know that his father was so "good at talking" before, and Ye Chenghe was just better than his master.

Lin Xiuqing smiled and smoothed things over, "Fortunately, we have earned back all the money we should have earned. In the past two years, we have also made a lot of money selling dried fish. These groceries were also brought back from home, and they did not cost much. Compared with others, Compared with spending money to buy it, it’s not a loss for us.”

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. You won't lose money anyway. When I came back yesterday, I sold everything that could be sold for money, but these were all unsaleable. Today, most of them were poured in one piece and fermented into fish sauce. You won’t lose money.”

After a little calculation, the gloom in everyone's hearts immediately dissipated, and their expressions became relaxed. Everyone was afraid of suffering a disaster and losing money.

After calculating, I won’t lose money, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became relaxed.

People are afraid of comparison. Without comparison, there will be no harm. Anyway, some people are more unlucky. The worst one is not me, so that is not unacceptable.

The children felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and they dared to speak.

"Dad, are those snacks bought for us to eat?"

Ye Chenghu pointed to the cupboard next to the stove. Through the cupboard, they saw the instant noodles and snacks inside. In fact, he had been looking around for lunch and had already seen them.

It's just that the adults were in a bad mood and didn't say a word at the dinner table. They also kept their tail between their legs and didn't dare to say anything, let alone ask for the snacks Ye Yaodong promised in the morning.

Ye Yaodong responded softly, "You can share it after you finish eating."

"OK."

"We'll divide it later. Can you still eat it after you've just finished eating?"

"sure."

Ye Yaodong also said: "What can't they eat? One stomach for eating and another stomach for snacks. How can they still not be able to eat it?"

Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang nodded quickly like chickens pecking at rice.

"Dad is right."

Ye Yaodong turned to ask his father, "How was Ah Hai's study at the shipyard today?"

"How can he learn in just one day? He helps with chores, moves, and does whatever the masters tell him to do."

"Then take your time and do odd jobs. Anyway, you have to do odd jobs when you first go there. Fortunately, I can only do odd jobs on weekends. After working for a year or two, I can almost pass the odd job period."

"Well, it's okay to think so. Anyway, as long as I go over to do some odd jobs on the weekends, it's still a qualification. After a year or two, I can start to learn something."

"If you really don't like what you're doing, you can do something else when the time comes. It won't delay anything at all."

"Nonsense, what else can you do? How can it be better than this kind of iron rice bowl job? Go and learn other things, but if you don't have an iron rice bowl, you still have to look at the master's face. It doesn't matter when he teaches you something, you still have to be at will. You can be beaten and scolded as you like, a big factory like this is short of manpower, so they must be able to teach you, and you can’t be beaten and scolded randomly.”

"Then he has to like it anyway. Forget it, let's talk about it. I'll send him there today. After he knows the way, I can let him go by himself next week. He can ride a bicycle anyway."

"Yes, let him go by himself next time. Whoever has time can send him home and just walk. How can a half-grown boy's feet be so precious?"

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said nothing. His father also had double standards. He knew how easy it was to ride a bicycle, but he was reluctant to let his children ride it.

It rained all night. Although the mood of the whole family was not that bad, it was still not good. The weather forecast still said it would rain tomorrow.

This time it was really accurate.

And it rained not just for the next day, but for two days in a row. During this period, the couple went to the workshop from time to time and took bamboo to dump the water on the nylon canopy to prevent it from being too heavy and collapsing directly, which would be a bad thing.

Fortunately, after two days of rain, a clear sky appeared immediately on the third day. The huge sun directly drove away the irritability in everyone's heart, and also disappointed some jealous people who were looking forward to seeing if there would be any losses on their trip. A little bit.

They are not RMB. It is impossible for everyone in the village not to envy them and like them. Everyone has a dark side.

When Ye Yaodong woke up early in the morning, he was so excited by the dazzling sunlight streaming in through the window that he immediately got up, dressed and went out.

It rained for two days, which made them depressed. Fortunately, it cleared up after two days of rain. After the super sun came out, there were more people walking around the door.

I don’t know if the waves on the beach are big or not, but the tide is going out, and there are half-grown children jumping and playing on the beach.

When he went out, Lin Xiuqing walked over to him, holding a handful of green Haiqing in his hand.

She smiled and said: "It's sunny. I just went outside the pier to look at the tide. I saw sea green on the rocks, so I grabbed a handful and came back. I'll make soup at noon. I'll go dig some clams on the beach later, but unfortunately there aren't any. Oysters, otherwise it would be more fragrant to put some oysters in it.”

"You want oysters? I'll sail out to the surrounding islands later to dig some?"

"Forget it, it just rained and the rocks are very slippery. It's not safe. You just caught a cold, so you should rest at home. The sea breeze on the island is stronger."

Since there is often work in his workshop, his elder sister-in-law and other neighbors are too lazy to go out to the sea to dig out these shells.

Not to mention having a boat at home, the key is that the things are heavy and even their women can't carry them. They have to rely on the men at home to carry them back every day. The couple goes out for nearly a day and a night, and they have to dig and dry them hard when they come back. There is also the risk of slipping off the rocks.

It doesn't matter if the family is poor, they can do whatever they can to earn money, but now that they have other odd jobs to do, they naturally don't want to do this more laborious and troublesome thing.

What's more, after digging intermittently for more than half a year last year, the surrounding islands were basically hollowed out. I don't know if they have grown back again after more than half a year has passed.

"Then just break two eggs and make an omelette. I'll have nothing to do later. I'll go dig some clams and fry them for a bowl."

"The eggs should be kept for hatching the chicks, as well as the duck eggs. I'd better use them for cold dressing and add some dried shrimp skin and coriander."

"That's okay. Is the hen at home laying a nest?"

"It's almost time, you have to get ready."

"Then kill a chicken tonight. There will be new chicks soon."

"Okay, I haven't finished the fish from the past two days, and you are thinking about eating chicken."

"No conflict, supplement at the same time, more exciting."

Lin Xiuqing took one look at him and went into the house first.

Ye Yaodong also went for a walk around the workshop. After a sunny day, everything looked pleasing to the eye. It rained for two days, and it felt that it didn't have a great impact on them. At most, the half-dried fish became damp again, and they had to dry out for a few more days.

After shopping, he went to take a look at the small slope next to the Mazu Temple. The small cherry seedlings that were moved there last year had grown even taller, already reaching his waist, but two more died at some point.

Originally they were planted quite densely, but now a year has passed and seven or eight trees have died one after another. It doesn't look that dense. Only a few trees are still close together, but it's not a big problem.

It has rained for two days, and the greenery on the cherry leaves has become thicker. The spring rain is as precious as oil, and it is a direct nourishment of natural nutrients.

I probably won’t be able to eat cherries this year, but I might have a chance next year.

When there is more rain, there is no need to water it yourself. When summer comes, just ask the children at home to remember to water it.

After turning around, he turned outside the pier and looked at the waves with a little spray in the distance. He thought that even if it cleared up again, the waves in the outer sea would probably not calm down so quickly, and he would have to rest at home for two days.

He slowly went home again.

After walking back and forth, the rain boots on his feet were all muddy. On the way back, he walked through puddles so that the soles of the rain boots could be removed.

The two little girls at home had been watching movies for two days. After watching TV for two days, the weather finally cleared and they couldn't stay any longer. He got up and went out. After a while, they also got up and ran out. Lin Xiuqing had to lead them. Digging clams on the beach.

Ye Yaodong saw no one when he returned home. The old lady told him that they had all gone to the beach, so he turned around and picked up a bucket and followed her to the beach.

The family dog ​​couldn't stay still and ran to the beach after it cleared up early in the morning.

When he went to the beach, he saw a bunch of sand clams and small fish here, and a bunch of conch clams there. A child approached and wanted to take it, but his dog barked and scared him away. He knew it was him at a glance. Harvest of a domestic dog chasing the sea.

"That's pretty cool, guys."

He touched the head of the big yellow dog in front of him, and the dogs in the distance immediately ran over, some with a live fish in their mouths.

After rushing up to him, he directly stretched the dog's head into the bucket, and the fish fell into his bucket with a splash.

Other dogs with goods in their mouths also lined up to vomit into the bucket.

There was only one Dalmatian dog squatting there blankly. Ye Yaodong didn't care. He just squatted down and put the harvest they picked up on the ground into the bucket, and then prepared to collect the next pile ahead.

Unexpectedly, the Dalmatian who had been stunned just now ran directly in front of him, blocking his way, then opened his mouth and spit out a piece of stuff at his feet.

He looked at it as a stone, didn't care, just raised his feet and left.

But the Dalmatian jumped on his feet and barked.

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Your legs are broken. Go away."

The little black dog ran back and put the stone in his mouth again, brought it to him, and spit it into his bucket.

A plop also caught his attention.

"You guys are going to bring back whatever is dirty and smelly. What are you bringing the rocks for? There are a lot of pebbles on this beach."

As he spoke, he took out the stones from the bucket and threw them away without looking at them. Unexpectedly, Xiaohua and Xiaohei ran over and picked them up again, and continued to spit them into the bucket.

"Is this the end of it for you guys? I want seafood. Stones are useless and can't be eaten. Do you understand? Silly dogs! Hurry up and work. If you don't work, you won't have food for lunch."

Ye Yaodong kicked the dogs twice to tell them to work quickly, but he did not immediately take out the stones they threw into the bucket and throw them away. If they liked it, he would pick them back and throw them to their dogs later. nest.

I’ve only heard that dragons like gold and silver jewelry, and the dragon’s nest is full of them, but I haven’t heard that dogs like pebbles?

After mentally cursing for a moment, he moved on to find his wife and children.

The four or five dogs at their feet followed immediately, and two dogs were surrounding Ah Qing and the others, being directed by Ye Xiaoxi to dig holes.

"Bigger, bigger~"

Pei Yu also repeated Ye Xiaoxi's words, "Big~"

She is now a qualified follower and repeater.

No matter what Ye Xiaoxi did, she would follow him and imitate him. Whatever he said, she would repeat it again.

"How much have you dug?"

"Just after arriving, these two saw the sand and didn't move away for a long time, taking their time."

Ye Yaodong looked at the few scattered ones in her bucket and said with disdain: "This job depends on me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dog dug out a clam nearby, but instead of grabbing it directly into the bucket, it spit it out in front of Ye Xiaoxi, which surprised her.

"Quack~ There is quack~ Mom, there is quack~"

Sand clams are called quacks in children's mouths.

"Put it in a bucket."

She put it into the bucket that Ye Yaodong brought over. Seeing that there were other messy things in it, she curiously reached in and touched it.

"Stone?"

Ye Yaodong turned around and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Stones? From the bucket?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at his surprised look and snatched the stone she was holding, not knowing why.

Lin Xiuqing turned around and glanced, not paying attention, and continued digging until she heard him muttering, "Fossilized snail?"

She then turned her head again, "What is Luo Fossil?"

"This seems to be a fossilized snail! The snail of a conch, a fossilized snail."

He looked back and forth uncertainly at the patterns on it, and then took it to the sun to take a look.

"What is a fossilized snail?"

"This should be a snail fossil."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her and explained: "This snail fossil is somewhat similar to a gambling stone. This is a conch fossil. Uncut conch fossils are cheaper. After being cut, the price can be negotiated based on the quality inside. Some are cut into pieces. The price can increase dozens of times, which is very similar to gambling on stones.”

"It's just that this conch fossil is relatively rare. Most people will not take it seriously if they see it. They may just think it is more beautiful. Only people who know it will know about it."

"So what are you using this for?" Lin Xiuqing didn't understand what he meant. She didn't understand what he meant by betting on stones.

"Can this stone be cut open?"

"Yes, you need to use tools."

Snail fossils refer to snails or shellfish that have gradually formed a hard shell after a long period of evolution.

These shellfish were buried during the movement of the earth's crust and were subjected to high temperature and pressure, eventually forming this beautiful snail fossil. The snail fossil has rich and diverse textures and different shapes. Each piece is unique, and there may also be crystals inside. stone.

Even if there is no crystal, the conch fossil will be very valuable if you carve it casually, because it can be carved into conch dzi beads.

This snail jade is about the size of a baby's fist. The texture on it looks very unique, as if there are various shells growing on it, but it is extremely smooth to the touch.

Conch fossils are first formed into fossils, and then may be jadeized, eventually forming a rare gemstone.

The piece he had on hand looked like it was just a snail fossil, not a snail jade. If it were a snail jade, it would be rare.

However, it cannot be concluded that there are no crystals in this snail fossil, but he does not have the tools to open it.

Lin Xiuqing saw him groping around, but she still didn't understand what this stone could be used for. Doesn’t it just look like the texture is different from ordinary pebbles?

Ordinary pebbles have a smooth surface. At most, the colors on the stones are different. The stone in his hand looks like it has various conch-shaped patterns. It is quite strange, but I don’t think it is very beautiful. After all, it was also dusty.

"So what do you use this stone for?"

"Take it home and collect it."

"Collection is a ghost. There is still a pile of broken corals at home that you insist on leaving behind. Now I have to pick up this stone again."

"It's useful, but it's hard to judge now. Anyway, take it back first. It's not like there's no place to put it."

"The drawers are full, where is there room to put things?"

"Let me tell you, this stone can be used to carve Faluo Dzi beads even if there are no crystals in it. This stone can be used to carve many Faluo Dzi beads."

Lin Xiuqing was confused, not knowing what he was talking about.

Ye Yaodong also felt that he was playing the piano to a cow.

"Forget it, I tell you, you don't know. Just put it away first and put it with those little corals."

"Are the beads you are talking about valuable? Can they be carved directly from this stone? Can they also be carved from stone?"

"Yes, yes, I told you that you didn't know, so you still ask? This is not an ordinary stone, this is a snail fossil. It is a fossil that evolved from a shell. It takes many, many, many years to form."

Snail fossils can be carved into Dzi beads, which are Buddhist jewelry and are most popular among Buddhists, especially Tibetan people.

In Buddhism, the conch is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and is believed to bring good luck and blessings. Therefore, the conch Dzi beads have become a treasure in the hearts of believers.

Now, people all over the country have just got rid of food and clothing, and have not yet pursued higher spiritual needs. Of course, this thing can only be kept in hand as a collection.

So he wasn't too excited when he saw it at first. After all, it couldn't be sold at a high price, and he couldn't open the stone.

However, the texture on this stone is extremely dense. Generally, each texture on this stone has a different shape and is unique. It cannot be found exactly the same. It is rare and cannot be copied. The denser the snails are, the more precious they are.

The one I have on hand doesn't look like a bargain.

He had mistakenly looked ahead. Under the sunlight, the inside of the bucket looked darker. He thought it was a stone, so he took it out and threw it away without even looking at it. Fortunately, the two dogs were clever and picked it up.

"So how much can this rock cost?"

"I don't know, I can't sell it for money now."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "Seeing how rare you said it was, I thought it was worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars."

"There will definitely be some in the future."

"Believe me, it's just a stone."

Ye Yaodong ignored her and waved to the two dogs, "Xiaohua Xiaohei, you two, come here."

Two dogs that were digging a hole immediately ran over. The dog touched his chin and the other dog touched his head.

"I'll give you extra food tonight."

"Woof woof woof~" the two dogs barked together, sticking out their tongues after barking.

"How did you find this stone? Where did you find it?"

The spotted dog immediately lowered its head and held the corner of his clothes in its mouth to pull him away. He stood up and prepared to follow the dog to see where he found it and see if there was any more.

Lin Xiuqing watched him come and leave shortly after, and quickly shouted, "Where are you going?"

"Look for rocks."

"Enough support."
