- "It's still early, let's not go back yet." Zhao Hongyu looked at the sky. It was now around nine o'clock in the morning, which was still very early. "Two pheasants and a hare are not enough to eat. Let's hunt more."
After fighting for a while, Zhao Hongyu sat down on the ground, tilted his head and suggested.
Of course Emma doesn¡¯t want to go back so early, she is at the playful age now.
"Okay, okay, I know there is a place with a lot of prey."
Emma said happily to Zhao Hongyu.
Since Emma knows the places where animals often hang out, it is of course a good thing.
Zhao Hongyu and the others in this province are in big trouble.
"Wait a minute, I want to leave a mark here. This is the first time, brother, that you have accompanied me to the secret mushroom garden."
As she spoke, Emma took out a small white stone from her military coat pocket, then found a black rock and drew it on the flat rock surface.
Indians now also have the habit of scribbling on some rocks or cliffs, which Zhao Hongyu finds very interesting. He walked over, intending to see how the little girl's 'graffiti' level was.
However, when Emma took out the small white stone from her pocket, Zhao Hongyu's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Emma, ??can you show me the little stone in your hand?"
Zhao Hongyu seemed a little excited, and his voice was vibrating.
Because there is a circle of golden metal on the small stone, which is shining with a unique luster under the reflection of the sun.
Hearing this, Emma stopped graffiti, looked back at the excited Zhao Hongyu, raised her right hand and handed over the small white stone, "What's so interesting about this? I know there are many in one place. .¡±
Emma felt that Brother Zhao¡¯s reaction today was really strange.
Aren¡¯t they just some small stones? Apart from leaving white marks on black rocks, these stones have no use at all.
None of the children in the tribe liked this kind of stone. They just picked up a few pieces because they liked to scribble on them.
¡°Hasn¡¯t this big brother seen this kind of stone?
¡°Well, if that¡¯s the case, just take him to that place and pick up a few more pieces.
Emma found it a bit funny, and at the same time thought Zhao Hongyu was quite cute.
¡°Oh my God, an eleven or twelve-year-old Indian girl actually thinks that the 15-year-old boy Zhao Hongyu is cute. If Zhao Hongyu knew what the little girl was thinking, he would probably be ashamed to death even if he didn¡¯t burrow into the ground.
Zhao Hongyu didn't know what the little girl Emma was thinking. He lowered his head and looked at the small white stone in his hand with a serious and serious expression. He kept playing with the small white stone in his hand, and at the same time he kept thinking in his heart. .
Well, the golden substance wrapped on the surface of the stone should be gold if I read it correctly.
The sun shines down through the branches of the forest, and the golden luster shines in your eyes and makes your heart tremble.
This should be quartz stone!
Soon, Zhao Hongyu made a preliminary judgment.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu, he fell silent and stared at the stone. The little girl Emma stopped making any sound. She stood beside Zhao Hongyu very quietly, tilting her head and looking at the little brother.
She couldn¡¯t understand why this little brother was so interested in this useless stone. She really didn¡¯t understand it at all.
Song Hu also walked over at this time. He stopped next to Zhao Hongyu and asked in a low voice: "Chief, is this gold?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu nodded silently.
"It should be. If it were not gold, its luster would not be so dazzling." After speaking, Zhao Hongyu threw the white stone in his hand and said to Song Hu: "Do you know what kind of stone this is?"
Song Hu shook his head and responded angrily: "I'm not a geology major, how could I know what kind of stone this is." Song Hu only had a primary school education, and he sighed in frustration.
"If he hadn't been selected to be a soldier, he wouldn't have known so much knowledge.
Three years of service as a compulsory soldier is not for nothing.
But even so, he couldn't possibly know what the stone in Zhao Hongyu's hand was.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and said to Song Hu: "This is quartz stone. There is nothing wrong with this kind of stone. It's just that this quartz stone vein usually contains another metal.Half a lifetime later, that¡¯s gold! "When it was mentioned that the semi-raw mineral vein of the quartz stone was gold, Zhao Hongyu's face shone with excitement and excitement.
"Oh, there is such a thing." Song Hu was also interested. This was the first time he knew about this matter. At the same time, Song Hu sighed in his heart, it is good to be educated and knowledgeable, and the culture of the leader is better than that of someone with a primary school diploma like him.
Zhao Hongyu smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
In fact, he knows that this matter has nothing to do with his cultural knowledge, but he only knows this because he is in the 21st century when consulting and consultation are developed, and he looks around on the Internet all day long when he has nothing to do.
After all, in the 21st century, when the Internet is developed and the consulting industry explodes, usually even stay-at-home otakus will know some information that ordinary people don¡¯t understand.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Hongyu said: "I suspect that there should be a large quartz vein nearby, and there is also a gold mine. But I am not sure about the size of this gold mine and the difficulty of digging."
After hearing what Zhao Hongyu said, Song Hu said carelessly: "Let's go and take a look first. Instead of thinking about it here, it's better to take a look at the situation over there and judge." Zhao Hongyu nodded, then turned to the little girl Ai Ma said: "You said there are a lot of this stone nearby. I wonder if you could take me to see it?"
The little girl Emma listened to the conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu, but she could not understand what they were saying at all.
What mineral veins, what quartz stone, what gold, she heard it in a confused way.
It¡¯s no wonder that the little girl didn¡¯t understand. After all, there is almost 400 years of difference. The gap in knowledge and generation gap is not as big as usual.
However, when the little girl saw Zhao Hongyu asking her to take him to a place that only she knew, she still happily agreed.
"There's nothing wrong with what I said. Emma is the only one who knows that place. Emma knows many secrets in this forest." Emma raised her little face proudly and straightened her thin body.
Looking at Emma¡¯s childish look, Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu looked at each other and smiled.
Emma is right. Other children in this forest don't like to come here to play. Even if they come here to pick mushrooms or something, they won't go into the depths of the forest.
Only the little girl Emma is brave. She likes to explore alone and dig out the secrets deep in the forest.
It is precisely because of this relationship that the little girl Emma discovered this secret garden full of mushrooms, as well as the 'useless' quartzite veins and gold.
I have to say that Zhao Hongyu is very lucky. The Indians in North America do not value gold at all, unlike the Incas on the Caribbean coast of Central America.
And because of this, the British people near Virginia still don¡¯t know that there is gold here.
"Otherwise, this place will definitely be conquered by those British guys, and then they will start digging aggressively.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Since I am here, then don¡¯t think about the golden European bumpkins here. No matter who wants to rob this golden man, I will not make it easy for him!
"Following behind the little girl Emma, ??Zhao Hongyu's heart was turning over and over again.
We walked along the creek deep into the forest for about an hour. Along the way, Zhao Hongyu saw a variety of small animals and birds.
Wild boar! squirrel! badger! Groundhog! Deer! Pheasant! Lynx! fox! Coyotes¡¡
After the little animals discovered Zhao Hongyu and his party, they all ran into the forest one after another. This makes Emma very disappointed, because these are prey.
"But now Zhao Hongyu's mind is not on hunting. He needs to quickly determine whether there are quartzite veins and whether there are gold mines in that area.
You must know that if a gold mine is really discovered and the output is huge, it will bring him great benefits.
Because the business of selling gold to space-time traders is greater than the profit from collecting furs.
The sale of furs has tended to decline now. The profit from a dozen furs a day is too little, and the quality of these furs is still inconsistent, which is very troublesome.
But if there is a gold mine, it will create a new income point and bring a qualitative leap to his development in the short term.
One gram of gold costs 320 yuan. The gold mine here can produce 50 grams of gold in one day. This is still the minimum output. If the veins were rich, the output would be even more.
At that time, if you want to buy a genetic person, you can buy a genetic person, and if you want to invest in a copycat, you can invest in a copycat.
Thinking about it, it won¡¯t be long beforeYour tribe can quickly expand.
After having manpower, I will no longer have to worry about safety issues. And the Shanzhai has received investment, and maybe it can buy some machinery and vehicles.
hey-hey!
The more Zhao Hongyu thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that happiness was coming.
"It's right here. The creek in front of you goes all the way upstream. There are a lot of these stones!"
During the moment, Emma, ??who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. She raised her finger and pointed forward and turned to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu looked in the direction of Emma's finger, and saw a frightened deer drinking water in front of them. It jumped deep into the forest and quickly disappeared into the forest.
On the branches of the Huangzhen trees on both sides of the creek, the elf squirrels were squatting there watching the outsiders.
Zhao Hongyu, Wang Hu and four genetic men embraced Emma and walked slowly over.
¡°Look, leader!¡±
Song Hu¡¯s eyesight was so good that he could see something strange in the shallow stream at a glance.
