After filling the farm with feed, Xia Shige took a look at the 30-odd piglets crawling all over the ground. The big pigs were sold and only one male and two females were left. Now he just had to wait for this batch of pigs to grow up.
Both the cow and the sheep were pregnant with their second litter. Because the breeding cycle of cattle and sheep is relatively long, Xia Shige was reluctant to sell either of them. She planned to let them reproduce more and then sell the calves and lambs when they grow up.
After finishing all these, Xia Shige picked up the pickaxe and started digging in Taoyuan Mine.
Xia Shige has figured out a pattern. If you can vaguely see golden light, then if you dig along the light, you will most likely find a gold mine.
The ones that emit a faint black light are most likely coal mines, and the ones that emit a silvery-white light are most likely silver mines, but they may also be other precious metals.
But today, as Xia Shige was digging, he saw a faint pink halo in front of him.
She was immediately puzzled and started digging downwards along the pink light.
As she dug, the pink light became stronger and stronger, and finally a duck egg-sized stone vaguely covered with pink crystals fell at her feet.
Xia Shige picked up the stone, held it in his hand and looked at it from left to right. It was a type that he had never dug before. This mine could really dig out anything.
She looked at the stone with some confusion and said, "Is this... rose quartz? Or pink chalcedony?"
Xia Shige knew nothing about these. She took the stone, turned around and left the mine, went to the processing workshop, and put the stone into the ore processing machine.
The machine display showed [Detecting pink diamonds, removing impurities and cutting for you. ]
Pink diamond!
Xia Shige was surprised. She had seen a jewelry auction before, and she remembered that a pink diamond of several carats could be sold for a small price.
This time I dug out such a big piece...
Xia Shige happily picked up the white cat beside him and kissed it twice. The man and the cat happily lay beside the machine, watching the pink diamond come out from the conveyor belt.
Xia Shige excitedly picked up the pink diamond that was sent out. The whole pink diamond was about the size of a quail egg. The processing workshop only did some simple cleaning and trimming on the pink diamond, and it now had an irregular shape.
Even though it is only simply processed, it is still difficult to conceal its beautiful fire. The whole pink diamond is crystal clear and full of fantasy, like the diamond that the prince used to propose to the princess in a fairy tale. It will be worn on the princess's slender white fingers as a witness to the happy ending of this fairy tale.
Xia Shige held the pink diamond and played with it carefully for a while, admiring its beauty. It was perfectly pink without a single color. What was even more rare was that there were hardly any impurities or inclusions visible to the naked eye.
After playing with it, Xia Shige hung the pink diamond in his own shop.
Although diamonds are beautiful, what Xia Shige needs now is money.
As for the price, Xia Shige really had no idea about it. She discussed with the white cat for a while, and both she and the cat gritted their teeth and decided to set the price at 100 million.
It is the end of the world now, and Xia Shige doesn't know whether those rich people will still invest in jewelry under the current situation. She can only try her best.

Ever since Xu Yilan and Mrs. Li returned empty-handed from Xia Shige's attempt, the Lu family has been a little overwhelmed.
"Look at you, you can't even do such a small thing!" Lu Bo slammed the table and scolded Xu Yilan: "Do you know how much Lu's funds are in short supply now? If the Li family's funds are not in place, Lu will have to file for bankruptcy directly!"
Because Lu's company was short of funds and had been in arrears with employees' wages, many employees filed for labor arbitration, and the company lost a lot of money.
The company was running out of money and the bank was pressing for loans, so the Lu family had no choice but to sell off assets to fill the hole. The land and real estate owned by the Lu family were almost all sold out. Mrs. Lu sold a lot of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and Lu Siming even sold a full display cabinet of watches from his own collection.
But these are still not enough to fill the company's gaps.
"Can you blame me for this? I came to her house in person, but she wouldn't even let me in." Xu Yilan said aggrievedly, "Mrs. Li and I brought gifts to her house, but she kicked us out without even looking at them. She has no shortage of food and clothing now, and I don't even have room to negotiate with her."
Xu Yilan felt so aggrieved that she dared not spend any money these days and she even dared not attend those gatherings of wealthy ladies.
Xu Yilan glanced at Lu Sixue, who had been keeping her head down and silent, and asked tentatively with some expectation: "Xue'er, can you talk to Yu Han again and ask him to lend some money to the Lu family first?"
Lu Sixue froze when she heard this. She said with some embarrassment, "Mom, I have mentioned this to Yuhan many times before, but you also know that Yuhan has no say. He is not the one who makes the decisions in the Song family now."
Lu Siming also sighed and said, "Mom, the Song family is also short of funds now. Several real estate projects they invested in have failed, and the bank is also demanding repayment from them. The Song family has put up for sale many assets under the Song family name, and they are now unable to take care of themselves."
After Lu Siming finished speaking, he pinched his eyebrows in annoyance. If he had anticipated the current situation of the Song family, he would never agree to the engagement between Lu Sixue and Song Yuhan. This was simply throwing meat buns to a dog.
Lu Siming glanced at Lu Sixue's snow-white face and petal-like lips again, and his mind moved slightly. He said tentatively: "Since the Song family can't help, let's just cancel the engagement between Sixue and the Song family."
Lu Sixue was shocked when she heard this and quickly shook her head: "Brother! What nonsense are you talking about!"
