Chapter 296 This is a Jade Mine
Every time Lu Yaoyao saw this child, she drooled, and this time was no exception.
Si Liuyan naturally took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her mouth, the corners of his mouth raised, "Little princess, you are drooling again."
When the handsome boy smiled, his delicate face looked even more beautiful.
Lu Yaoyao chuckled twice, "You're just a fool."
【I'm drooling because you're delicious! 】
【What should I do if I really want to take a bite? 】
Si Liuyan's ears turned red. What was the little princess thinking about all day?
Although he was only seven years old, he knew about the differences between men and women. If the little princess said she wanted to bite him, it would cause misunderstanding.
In the future, he will talk more with the little princess about the important matters concerning sex.
What if the little princess meets another boy in the future and bites him?
Quickly change the subject to stop the little princess from thinking too much. "Little princess, where are we going? It's not easy to walk here."
Lu Yaoyao then remembered what she was doing here, "Looking for something."
[There's no need to collect the boy's urine yet, we already have enough. We're going to look for jade this time!]
[I discovered that there are quite a few jade stones on this mountain!]
The jades of the Dayu Dynasty were very expensive and rare. A few days ago, she discovered that the mountain by the river was actually a jade mine.
Good jade is formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Although it does not have as much spiritual energy as spiritual stones, it is also a good thing.
No wonder that thing was lying at the bottom of the river practicing.
The jade on this mountain contains rich spiritual energy, which is indeed suitable for that guy to absorb.
"What are you looking for?" Si Liuyan was confused.
Seeing her pick up a transparent stone from the ground, she said, "Little princess, what are these stones for? We used to come here to pick up stones and take them back to play with."
Some of the stones here have beautiful colors, so they picked them up and played with them.
Some were picked up and pressed into the pickle jar, and the small ones were spread in the yard so that there would not be so much mud on rainy days.
"Play? What a waste." Lu Yaoyao didn't know what to say.
These stones aren't just ordinary stones; they're jade. Have you ever seen jade carvings? The jade pendants, jewelry, and hairpins carved from jade are all made from this kind of stone.
[This mountain is home to a jade mine, producing a wide variety of jade. The best jade is the warm jade. I can dig it out and make a warm jade bed for my mother.]
Si Liuyan was not very old, but he had heard of jade.
The beggar grandfather who adopted him knew how to carve jade, but later one of his hands became disabled and he never carved jade again.
When he saw the stones he brought home, he just glanced at them and threw them aside.
Now that I think about it, the beggar should have known that the stone he brought back was jade.
"Little princess, I'll help you pick up the stones. You can just eat and drink milk on the side."
Si Liuyan took down the backpack and the bottle, opened the bottle and let her drink the milk, then gave her a piece of snack.
Lu Yaoyao didn't object, as she was hungry too.
"You." She first picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then started to eat the snack in small sips.
Si Liuyan ate the snacks, smiling, "Then you can enjoy your meal here, and I'll help you pick up stones."
Lu Yaoyao nodded, "Yeah."
These stones are very valuable. If the locals could mine jade, they could earn money and never have to worry about food.
As soon as Lu Xiao arrived here, he heard his daughter’s inner thoughts: Is there a jade mine here?
If this is true, it would be good news.
"Yaoyao, what are you doing?" Lu Xiao picked up his daughter.
Seeing that her mouth was full of snack crumbs, I took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"Dad, stones are valuable." Lu Yaoyao pointed to a pile of stones on the ground.
These stones have lost their outer shells, leaving only the colorful stones.
Unlike the stones used in gambling, the stones still have the stone skin and you can't see the jade and jadeite inside.
These stones are different, they are all jades without the stone skin.
"Is this jade? Is there a jade mine here?" Lu Xiao picked up a stone and looked at it. It was indeed jade.
The white jade warms to the touch and has a smooth texture. It is indeed a rare jade material.
Lu Yaoyao nodded and drew a big circle with his two short arms, "Such a big mountain, jade, make money."
[This huge mountain is full of jade mines. These jades can be mined for hundreds of years. If everyone here came to mine jade, they would definitely live a good life.]
Even if we were to mine jade, we would have to wait until we dug out that thing at the bottom of the river.
[I've been digging for a month, I should find it soon.]
The farm tools used by the common people were too backward, and they could only dig the soil bit by bit, so the progress was a bit slow.
You can't use explosive things either, otherwise you'll wake that thing up and the result will be more harm than good.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "Since my daughter wants to make money, then Daddy will buy this mountain, okay? You can make a lot of money."
Jade mines can be bought and sold, unlike gold and silver mines which are controlled by the imperial court.
There must be quite a lot of jade on this mountain, and the little girl would not lie to him.
"Yeah, yeah." Lu Yaoyao nodded vigorously.
"Buy it! I can make tons of gold in the future. I love gold!"
All the extra land in her space needs to be maintained with gold, and of course the more gold the better.
Si Liuyan dug out a lot of jade, put it in a small cloth bag, and planned to carry it back for the little princess to play with.
Lu Xiao planned to buy this mountain, and first he had to tell his father, and then he would write a letter to Kyoto when he got back.
As long as the emperor hears that it is the little girl who wants it, he will definitely approve it.
As the sun sets, the orange-red sun hangs on the top of the mountain, as if it is about to roll down.
Lu Yaoyao sat on Lu Xiao's shoulder, humming an unknown tune.
Lu Xiao's pace couldn't help but become a little lighter.
Following behind them were Zhuifeng and Si Liuyan, who was carrying a bag of stones.
The shadows of the four people were stretched very long by the sun and were close to each other, like a painting that would never be separated.
After returning to the carriage, Si Liuyan went to wash the stones. After washing, each stone was very translucent.
The beggar grandfather’s surname was Ma, and his name was Ma Tian. He was very curious about the stones.
He picked up a pigeon-blood red stone and said, "This is a rare treasure. I'll carve a little toy out of it for the little princess!"
His hands have healed and feel more flexible than before. All these changes are brought to him by the little princess.
He had nothing to repay the little princess with, so he carved a small toy for her.
"Grandpa, what are you going to carve? Can you teach me? Once I learn it, I will carve something for the little princess." Si Liuyan also became interested.
In addition to playing with the little princess every day, he also learns a lot from the prince and Uncle Zhuifeng, and he can also find time to learn carving.
When he learns how to carve, he will definitely carve something that the little princess likes.
"Okay, I'll teach you." Martin was happy.
His craft finally has a successor.
Jade carving also depends on talent. Whether the carved object has spirituality or not depends entirely on one's own understanding.
The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself. This statement is absolutely true.
