Chapter 40: Encountered Blocked
Tang Feng’s confidence is not unreasonable. The formation of bloodstone is because the red mercury sulfide penetrates into the kaolin stone and the earth-shape. The two blend together and become a natural gem. In addition to removing the main component of mercury sulfide, the blood of bloodstone also contains a small amount of iron, titanium and other ferrogenic metal elements. The content of the metal elements is the reason why the chicken blood appears different red. The more the content, the darker the blood color.
The small piece of gravel in Tang Feng's hand, the Changhua fossil with more than half a ton of weight, and the blood color inside that is suspected to be Dahongpao with a large amount of blood, which shows that the metallic coloring elements of the three are equal and are in the same strata. The stones in the same strata are formed in the same age, and the penetration time of mercury sulfide is equal. All signs indicate that the Changhua fossil with more than half a ton of weight should contain chicken blood. Of course, this is just an inference made by Tang Feng's longitudinal connection between three chicken blood stones of different sizes. As for whether there will be or how much chicken blood is inside, it can only be determined until the stone is untied.
The people and things have been gone, and all that is left is left is to leave fate.
Then, a bloodstone appeared next to the Changhua fossil, which was more than half a ton of weight. The blood of this bloodstone was distributed in strips, commonly known as "blood". Pan Decai directed the migrant workers to follow the clues and dig several meters behind the suspected Dahongpao, but found nothing. It is no wonder that one digging a large nest was potatoes.
After working hard for most of the morning, Pan Decai returned with a full load. Today's harvest was good, and a total of more than ten bloodstones were carved out. Pan Decai happily went on the battle himself and carried the suspected Dahongpao with another person down the mountain with the suspected Dahongpao weighing about 30 kilograms. No wonder he was so happy. Although this bloodstone cannot be regarded as the real Dahongpao, it is enough to match his half-year harvest.
Small pieces of stone can be lifted, and the Changhua fossil weighing more than half a ton can only be pushed with a cart. The cart that transports large pieces of stone is actually an ordinary wooden two-wheeled cart. When going down the mountain, it is not a cart, but a dozen people pulling the rope tied to the cart behind it, in order to prevent the cart from rolling down the cliff.
Not long after the departure, the sky began to be gloomy. Pan Decai said, "Brothers, add more fuel, the value of this Dahongpao can double the wages for more than 3 million yuan." This ancient mode of transportation is very dangerous when the sky is clear, and the road is even more slid when it rains. Everyone is counting on being able to go down the mountain before it rains.
At noon, a group of people turned around the valley, and the small market had already appeared under the cliff at their feet. Before everyone could be happy, the raindrops as big as beans were smashed down on their heads. A group of people hurriedly ran into a cave not far from the road to hide from the rain. They said it was a cave, but it was actually a stone pit dug artificially on the cliff. It was very shallow inside and could not accommodate many people. Tang Feng had just run halfway through and saw a few migrant workers holding carts. He didn't want them to have nowhere to hide from the rain for a while, so he turned back and ran under a raised boulder further away.
The mountain rain fell as soon as it was said. After a while, the whole mountain was shrouded in a cloud of rain and mist. Tang Feng had just stood still, and Liu Yue ran in under the rain. Tang Feng was a little surprised. He had just seen Liu Yue hiding in the innermost part of the cave. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"If you can come, I can't come?" Liu Yue asked back.
Tang Feng himself felt that this was unnecessary. The rain was very heavy. The rain had already floated inside. There was only a small circle left on the dry ground. He gave up most of the dry place and said to Liu Yue: "Hide in a little."
Liu Yue leaned against Tang Feng as she spoke. Her clothes were wet, and water droplets rolled down from the hair outside the baseball cap. The sudden rainstorm caused the temperature to drop suddenly, and the cooler it became more and more cool when the mountain wind blew. Although Liu Yue held her shoulders tightly, she could not suppress her body trembling.
Of course, men should have the demeanor of a man. Tang Feng asked Liu Yue softly, "Are you cold?" This guy's thinking is always half a beat slower than others. Liu Yue didn't say anything, just nodded gently.
Tang Feng took off his coat and gently put it on Liu Yue's body. Liu Yue turned her face and said to him with a smile: "Thank you."
The rain was still falling, and the market in his eyes was already hazy with the rain and mist. Under the huge rocks in the storm, a man and a woman were close together. Tang Feng remembered the scene when he first met Liu Yue. At that time, he was in urgent need of money and knocked the Zhu family's bamboo robbery because of his extraordinary goods, which attracted Liu Yue's extreme dissatisfaction. Good luck made people. At that time, no one expected that they would hide from the rain under the same stone eaves. Tang Feng smiled and said, "Well, I was wrong with that memorial last time."
"Haha, it's okay." Liu Yue smiled with a pursed lips: "I have something wrong, so I'm going to be even."
When Tang Feng first met Liu Yue, she was wearing a very mature professional suit, which was very different from the current girls. Her personality was the same as her outfit, which was hard to understand. He said, "I think the contrast between inside and outside is quite large."
"No, I don't think there is anything different." Liu Yue said: "Humans are complex individuals, and only monks who have attained enlightenment can be consistent in their appearance."
Tang Feng said: "Maybe, the you I know are not the real you."
"I understand what you mean." Liu Yue thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of the family. Our family is a big family. It's very harmonious on the surface, but it's hard to say behind the scenes. Living in such an environment, no one wants to write their true thoughts on their faces."
There are struggles in places where there are people, this is true for large families, society, and the country. Liu Yue’s unwillingness to show her true nature is actually a kind of self-protection. Tang Feng said: “So you always have a vigilance against the people around you, including your classmates.”
Liu Yue nodded and said, "It's not completely right, but it can be understood so much that the rain has stopped."
The heavy rain came and went quickly. After the rain stopped, everyone started to get on the road again. The mountain road was slippery and the migrant workers were a little overwhelmed. Tang Feng and Chen Yan went up to help, and Zhang Fengchun also invited the college students to help pull the cart. After some hard work, they returned to the market.
Today, Pan Decai was busy burning incense and setting off firecrackers, while Tang Feng and his team returned to the farmhouse to rest. In the evening, the sound of trading gongs came from the market. Tang Feng and Chen Yan came to the trading site together. Jiang Yuan did not come today, and Wang Pengcheng and the people from the Han and Tang Baoye were all present.
Wang Pengcheng and Mr. Xiao from the Tang Dynasty Baoye looked at each other and said, "Today is still the same rule, you are both double and I am single, but that big red robe."
Mr. Xiao nodded understandingly and said with a smile: "Everyone is his own master, so don't be polite anymore." Although he divided the sphere of influence, he was bound to fight against him when he encountered good things.
The first stone to trade was the "striped blood" of about 40 kilograms. Tang Feng was very interested, but this stone was Wang Pengcheng's odd number, and head-on battle was inevitable.
Pan Decai said: "The minimum price is 30,000, everyone should not be polite, just call the price." Of course, he hopes that everyone should not be polite.
"Add a thousand." Tang Feng was speaking. He didn't want Wang Pengcheng to pay attention because of the bid.
"I'll add another thousand." Another stone merchant also participated in the competition, but Wang Pengcheng, who did not participate in the competition, kept paying attention to Tang Feng. Tang Feng thought it was not good, and it was not a problem for Jiangyuan to appear, but a big problem for not appearing. It seems that Wang Pengcheng today must "take care of" himself.
Tang Feng and several competitors called the reserve price to 39,000. When Tang Feng called 40,000, other competitors no longer followed because the stone was not of good quality.
Pan Decai asked everyone, "Is there any higher one?"
"I'll pay 50,000!" Wang Pengcheng's first bid increased by 10,000.
"70,000." Tang Feng added another 20,000 without hesitation. Damn, that guy was obviously targeting him.
Wang Pengcheng was not vague, he said: "80,000."
Tang Feng was inevitably worried that a bloodstone with a bad quality and a base price of only 30,000 yuan was raised to 80,000 yuan by Wang Pengcheng. It would be great to encounter other stones. The most hateful thing is that the other party’s extremely vicious bid was not because of the stone itself, but because this stone was favored by Tang Feng. Pan Decai repeatedly asked, Tang Feng had no time to think about it. He smiled slightly and said, “90,000!”
"100,000." Wang Pengcheng still underestimated.
"Haha." Tang Feng smiled and said, "Longbao Company is indeed rich and powerful, and he is willing to give up the disadvantage."
"Trade is completed!" It is estimated that Pan De will go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow.
"Boss Pan, do a favor." Wang Pengcheng, who successfully bid, said: "Help me untie this stone on the spot."
"Okay!" The people around him cheered repeatedly. The on-site inspection was exciting. Tang Feng and Chen Yan looked at each other and understood Wang Pengcheng's intention.
