Chapter 611: Polishing the Rough Stone (Page 1/2)

After Lin Man got the spiritual spring water, she did not take a bath immediately, nor did she continue to explore the Tai Chi Cave. Instead, she returned to the villa and took the sand-free jade stone to the processing warehouse on a small trailer for polishing.

Back at the processing warehouse, she first weighed the raw stone with a scale and measured its length, width and height. Then, she happily picked up the tools and began to carefully polish this precious jade raw material.

She concentrated on polishing the jade stone finely. With each slight friction sound, the hard outer layer gradually became thinner until it finally fell off completely.

Time passed quietly, and four and a half hours had passed. The skin covering the outer layer of the jade was removed bit by bit, and the places without jade were also cut off.

The beautiful jade that was originally hidden deep inside also began to slowly reveal its true face, just like unveiling a mysterious veil, emitting an intoxicating and charming brilliance.

After another period of arduous polishing and grinding, the entire piece of jade finally appeared before us in its entirety without any reservation.

In an instant, Lin Man was stunned by what she saw - it turned out that this piece of jade was an extremely rare and precious glass-type positive green jadeite!

The texture of the jade was warm and delicate, as if what I was touching was not a piece of stone, but silky skin.

Its color is pure and flawless, as fresh and green as the new leaves blooming in spring, without any impurities or flaws.

Although it was not as breathtaking as the imperial green glass, Lin Man could not contain her excitement and joy, and stretched out her hands to gently stroke the jade.

The touch from her fingertips made her intoxicated. Just as she was immersed in it, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if such high-quality material were sold, it would definitely fetch a considerable price.

But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately shook her head. This piece of jade was so rare and precious that it would be a pity to sell it.

After a brief thought, she secretly made up her mind to keep the jade properly first.

When we find the most appropriate time in the future, we will invite professional jade carving masters with superb skills and rich experience to carve it carefully.

She needs to think carefully about whether to make it into a large ornament or process it into jewelry.

Lin Man carefully transported the carefully polished jade semi-finished product back to the space villa.

She gently raised her wrist, glanced at her watch, and was surprised to find that it was already 2:30 in the afternoon!

She was so focused on polishing the jade that she completely forgot about the important task of making lunch.

After a short rest, Lin Man decided to go to the bathroom to take a comfortable hot bath to relax and soothe her tired body.

After taking a shower, she exuded a fresh fragrance and returned to the kitchen with light steps.

In the kitchen, she casually took out a pack of noodles and a few fresh eggs from the cupboard, preparing to cook herself a bowl of simple but delicious egg noodles.

Soon, a bowl of steaming egg noodles came out of the pot. She also took out a small bowl of homemade refreshing kimchi from the refrigerator and brought it to the table.

Then, she couldn't wait to sit down and enjoy this late lunch with big mouthfuls. With the crisp and delicious kimchi, Lin Man quickly finished the noodles in the bowl.

After filling her stomach, she quickly got up to clean up the pots and pans and washed them carefully.

Then, she slowly walked to the sofa in the living room, collapsed on it like a deflated ball, closed her eyes comfortably, and planned to take a half-hour nap to restore her energy.

Half an hour later, Lin Man opened her eyes on time and went to her own spiritual field to pick vegetables in high spirits.

The moment you step into the spiritual field, you will see lush, fresh and juicy fruits and vegetables everywhere.

She skillfully picked the ripe eggplants, cucumbers and beans from the field one by one and put them into the basket beside her. Before long, the basket was filled to the brim.

Back in the villa kitchen, Lin Man immediately began to process the freshly picked vegetables.

I saw her skillfully pick up a cucumber, cut it in half with a knife, then gently scoop out the soft core inside the cucumber with a spoon, and finally cut the remaining part into even small strips.

The cut cucumber strips are evenly sprinkled with a thin layer of salt, set aside to marinate and drain the water, then taken out and spread on the net of the air dryer.

Then, she cut the eggplant into pieces of appropriate size, blanched them in boiling water for a while, took them out to drain the water, spread them on the net, and put them into the air dryer to dry.

As for the green beans, they were rubbed back and forth with salt until soft, then taken out and dried on the spacious balcony.

Just as Lin Man was busy with her work, her neighbor who lived on the same floor happened to pass by.

Seeing Lin Man drying beans on the balcony, the kind-hearted neighbor Aunt Wang approached her curiously and asked, "Xiao Lin, why did you buy so many fresh beans? Are you drying them? But it's already five o'clock, and the sun is about to set."

"It's okay, Aunt Wang. Just let it dry for as long as you can. I'll come and collect it at seven o'clock anyway." Lin Man said to Aunt Wang with a smile.

Aunt Wang looked at her worriedly. "Xiao Lin, let me tell you, half of the dried sweet potatoes I dried a few days ago are gone! You have to come collect the dried beans on time!"

"Okay, thank you for your reminder." Lin Man nodded gratefully.

In fact, Lin Man knew in her heart that her neighbor had brought back several large bags of sweet potatoes from his hometown a few days ago.

The neighbor couldn't finish eating so many sweet potatoes in a short time, so she came up with an idea. She steamed them in a big pot, cut them into strips and took them to the balcony to dry into sweet potato chips.

Who would have thought that these dried sweet potatoes were not yet completely dried, but their quantity was decreasing day by day.

Fortunately, Lin Man’s children were not at home these two days, otherwise, she would have suspected that the neighbors were implying that her children had stolen dried sweet potatoes.

After Lin Man returned home, she suddenly realized a problem - neither she nor Huo Qingci had planted sweet potatoes in their space!

Thinking about the sweet, delicious, soft and dense dried sweet potatoes, she thought that children would also like to eat them. So, she decided to plant some sweet potatoes in the spiritual field.

Lin Man got up and walked out of the house, knocking on Aunt Wang's door.

"Aunt Wang, do you have any raw sweet potatoes at home? Can you sell me a few pounds?"

Aunt Wang answered the knock at the door enthusiastically, "Hey, Xiaolin, why are you suddenly craving sweet potatoes? I still have dozens of pounds at home. How about giving you a few pounds to try?"

Lin Man quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, Aunt Wang, how can I take your things for free? I'd better buy ten kilograms from you."

However, the kind and generous Aunt Wang refused to accept Qian Linman's money. She smiled and said, "How much are these sweet potatoes worth? If they are not worth it, I will give you ten kilograms so that you can have a good taste."

Seeing Aunt Wang's firm attitude, Lin Man felt embarrassed to insist any further, but she also felt that she couldn't accept such a kind offer for no reason.

After much deliberation, she decided to go home and get something to exchange with Aunt Wang. Soon, she returned to Aunt Wang's door with fifteen salted duck eggs that she had made herself.

"Aunt Wang, these are the salted duck eggs I pickled myself. They taste pretty good. Can I trade them for sweet potatoes?"

Seeing this, Aunt Wang initially refused, but in the end she couldn't resist Lin Man's insistence and had to accept the salted duck eggs and gave her several kilograms of sweet potatoes in addition.

In this way, Lin Man happily carried fifteen kilograms of sweet potatoes home.

After returning home and entering the space, she didn't even have time to rest. She immediately buried the sweet potatoes carefully in the fertile spiritual field. She guessed that they would soon take root, sprout, and grow vines.

Thinking that it’s getting late and I need to make dinner, I might as well come here tomorrow to pick some sweet potato vines and plant them through cuttings!
