Liu Qingshan held the pebbles in his hand, which were roughly round and had a chubby surface, which should be because he had been washed in the water for a long time.

The stone is very transparent, and you can see a piece of golden red inside without illuminating it against the light, and the color is very beautiful.

If this is carved into an artifact and polished, it will definitely be very dazzling.

Liu Qingshan reached out to touch the little kid's head: "Where did this agate stone come from? Did you pick it up by the river?"

Since there is an agate mine, there must be materials washed by river water, which are similar to jade. Such materials are often the best grade.

"Yes." The little guy nodded, then thought for a while, grinned: "It looks so beautiful when shining towards the sun."

Looking at the little guy in front of him, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of the second son in Jiapigou before, so he smiled:

"I want this agate, but if you buy candy, you have to prepare a big noodle bag."

The little kids didn't understand at first, but one of them reacted first:

"That's not a lot of money, oh!"

The kids shouted and jumped around together, and their big snot bubbles almost made them look beautiful.

Liu Qingshan took out two tickets from Wu Shi: "Give this home and leave it to your elders."

Then he took out another five-yuan steelmaker: "You can buy candy with this."

He knew that even if the children were holding large tickets, they would definitely be confiscated by their parents, so he gave them another five yuan.

The little kid took the banknote, then looked at the two fifty-yuan bills, turned over and looked over, and muttered:

"I haven't seen such money, it's not fake, right?"

Han Laohu snatched the big ticket from the little kid's hand: "I'll hand it over to you, you little kids, get out of here, why do you want to have a meal here?"

The children ran away with five dollars. There was no small shop in their village, so they had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative retail center of the brigade to buy candy.

Han Laohu also took a closer look at the big money in his hand: "I heard it was fifty yuan, and it was the first time I saw it."

No wonder the little kids don’t know each other, even adults are similar.

Liu Qingshan handed the piece of water to Xiao Hao, asked him to collect it first, and then said to Han Laohu:

"Uncle Han, when the next summer comes, I will lead everyone to the river to search for more. This kind of flowing water material has a better texture and will be more valuable."

Han Laohu also kept nodding. He had thought of this problem just now. If the river surface was not frozen now, he would have wanted to take people over to find it tomorrow.

Several people were chatting, and saw someone pushing the door into the room, holding a stone that was flat and unrounded in his arms, probably a circle smaller than a volleyball ball.

The person who came was in his thirties and was sloppy. After taking off the dog-skin hat on his head, he had several tinea stagnant on his head. This place is generally called "baby shavings".

"Laozi, why are you here?" Han Laohu was a little disgusted.

Han Laizi kept nodding and bowing: "I heard that this guy is collecting stones, I don't have one."

This guy looks quite funny, with a pair of eight-character eyebrows, and his eyebrows are running around when he speaks.

Liu Qingshan found Zhang Ganzi's former shadow from him, so he nodded to the other party: "Okay, let me take a look first, it's big enough."

"Okay, okay, thank you guy, thank you guy." Han Laizi was a little excited and kept bowing.

When he waved, Liu Qingshan's sensitive ears heard a gurgling sound, as if it was coming from the other party's belly.

Could it be that I just filled a stomach full of water and wandered around?

In this winter, who can fill so much cold water with nothing to do? Could it be...

Liu Qingshan's attention was immediately put on the stone.

Han Laizi threw the stone in his arms to the ground with a thud, which was the land anyway.

He patted his hands: "Brother, let me tell you, this stone is different from other stones. When you sway, it will gurgle inside."

"I guess there must be water here. One bottle is less than half a bottle."

Han Laohu stretched out his hand and pulled Han Laizi hard on his head: "I think you are just a bottle of dissatisfied with that group, and you have smashed my house to a pit!"

After saying that, he rubbed his palms against his pants twice in disgust, as if he was afraid of having tinea on his hands.

Liu Qingshan didn't pay attention to them. At this moment, he was picking up the stone and shaking it back and forth gently.

Sure enough, a gurgling sound came from the stone.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel happy: "This is water-collecting agate, which is more precious than ordinary agate."

After hearing what he said, Han Laizi immediately became excited: "Brother, how much is that worth? Can you exchange it for a great unity?"

This requirement is really too low. Even the worst water agate, it is more than this price.

However, Liu Qingshan is not a professional researcher in jade, and he only learned some basic knowledge from Master Lu.

What is this piece of water gall agate like depends on the texture and color inside, so it is difficult for him to draw a conclusion.

This kind of agate with water inside is rare.

This kind of agate often requires careful conceiving by the sculptor to highlight the water inside the agate.

For example, if the carved old birthday stars are placed in the longevity peach where there is water; if the carved Maitreya Buddha is placed in the big belly of Maitreya Buddha, etc.

The objects carved in this way are often ingenious and intriguing.

Liu Qingshan was going to take this piece of water gall agate back to Zhang Duozi and asked him to carve it into a large ornament.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan became scheming: "This big brother..."

"Hehe, just call me Laizi, everyone calls me that." Han Laizi grabbed his head, making people feel a little afraid to look at him.

"Okay, Brother Laizi, do you think this is OK? I can't say the value of your agate stone. I'll give you five hundred yuan first. If it's worth a lot, how about replenishing you later?"

Liu Qingshan didn't want to get a bargain here. With his current wealth, if he still acted foolishly at these ordinary people, it would be too rude.

"Five hundred yuan!"

Han Laizi jumped up suddenly and almost pushed his head to the paper shed: "Five hundred yuan is enough for me to marry a wife!"

OK, this person is also a bachelor, and his ideal is similar to Zhang Ganzi at the time.

Liu Qingshan asked Xiao Hao to pay the money, and then said to Han Laizi with a smile:

"Brother Laizi, don't worry. I suggest you take this money first and go to the hospital to cure the tinea capitis before the girl is willing to marry you."

Han Laohu interrupted, "A man in his thirties is still there to find a girl, it would be nice to find a widow."

"The widow is also the one who is!"

Han Laizi took the money and was so happy that his eyebrows ran around his eyes. He bowed hard to Liu Qingshan, and then ran out of the house.

As a result, with a bang, my head hit the door frame, probably buzzing.

"Breaking a bright future." Han Laohu laughed and scolded. "Laizi, listen to Qingshan, go to treat skin diseases first. When the agate in our village is sold, we still have to worry about not being able to marry a wife."

Han Laohu was in a good mood, and he finally found a little bit of Wang Dafu's feeling: it's good to have money.

But it's just a little bit, after all, this matter is not guaranteed.

Everyone returned to Wang's family from Xiawa Village. The sky was dark, and Han Laohu followed him. He also decided to go to Jiapigou. Yes, he heard from his in-laws that it was called an investigation, so he also wanted to go to the investigation.

The next day, Liu Qingshan and his group set off. There were too many people and they couldn't sit in the cab. Fortunately, Wang Dafu and Han Laohu were dressed in thick clothes and sat in the car.

The truck ran for two hours and stopped and asked them to move for a while. After finally, they were bumpy all the way. After two days, they finally returned to Jiapigou.

When the truck drove into the village, it was noon, and a group of little kids gathered around first.

Liu Qingshan got out of the car and shouted at the little kids who were climbing into the car: "There is no delicious food, it's all stones. If you don't worry about hurting your teeth, you'll chew it."

The little kids lifted the tarpaulin and saw that it was really a stone, and they were very disappointed.

"I have eaten, but I have fun." Liu Qingshan took a canvas bag from the car and threw it on the ground with a slam.

Er Jiazi opened the zipper and looked at it, and immediately cheered: "Bullet shell!"

The bag is full of yellow Cancan bullet shells, which is the favorite of the little kids, so you and I split them one by one.

This is what Liu Qingshan asked for the children back from the border guards. He also came from his childhood, so of course he knew the children's preferences best.

The adults also came over, Zhang Ganzi clasped his sleeves and asked with a smile: "Qingshan, you are planning to build a house, are you going to build a house?"

Liu Qingshan also blinked: Isn’t it all the way to build a house with jade?

Dazhang Luo slapped his thigh hard: "Qingshan, you build a house, you are not planning to marry a wife, don't worry, uncle will do it for you."

Well, just as I thought of the golden house, I used it. Others hide the beauty in the golden house, so let’s hide the beauty in the jade house.

"Qingshan should get married, and those big ones are almost having children. Erbiaozi is about to get married soon, and Qingshan is left."

Zhang Dashuai also got involved. Everyone was very concerned about Liu Qingshan's marriage, and it was like a real thing.

When Liu Qingshan saw that Wang Dafu and the others were getting off the car, he was moving his legs and feet, so he quickly introduced it to everyone.

After the introduction, Han Laohu looked at both sides of the road, and was a little puzzled: Jiapigou is similar to our Xiawa Village, and they are all grass houses?

At this time, a shout suddenly came from the car pit: "Jade, Qingshan, how could you get so many jades back!"

It was Zhang Shuzi who went home for the New Year during the holiday. He was squatting in the car with excitement on his face, holding a piece of white jade the size of a fist in his hand, muttering:

"It looks a bit like Hetian jade, but it seems a little wrong. It's whiter in color, but not so gentle, strange, strange..."
