Chapter 192 Mine
Wearing a safety helmet, they entered the mining area. The mining area was a bit deserted because it was a holiday and no work was started. Only a few people were on safety duty, which made it convenient for Chu Ge and his team to explore.
Only after he actually got inside and listened to Calvin Choi’s introduction did Chu Ge realize that Lao Zhu was not a good person either, at least not in his early years.
Because there are no real purple clay mines in Nanjiang.
This guy, Lao Zhu, made his fortune by pretending that some kind of shitty sand was good purple clay...
In other words, the big pot that Chu Ge uses to make tea is not made of good material.
The couple clenched their fists, both thinking about going back to beat up Lao Zhu.
“Although it’s not real purple clay, it has everything it should have.” Cai Zhijian pointed to the sandstone section and introduced: “Look here, the topsoil layer, then the yellow stone layer, below is red clay, then cotton-head armor clay, then green clay, look at this side, there is also a red clay layer…”
Chu Ge's eyes were full of circles, while Qiu Wuji kept nodding his head.
The old lady had seen a lot, but the otaku Chu Ge really didn't know. He thought that mines were just pieces and trucks of rock. He didn't expect that a piece of rock could be divided into so many layers, and each layer had its own uses.
How the hell can ordinary people tell which kind of teapot is good? Don’t they just listen to the merchants’ bullshit?
“So it’s not true that what we sell is a dud. The products are still good. As for whether they have the value of health preservation… hehe.” Calvin Choi smiled and said, “I can’t say whether there is real purple clay, but we do have fake purple clay.”
Indeed, due to the nourishment of spiritual energy, if we really talk about the health benefits, Lao Zhu's fake thing is now truly priceless, even though the content is very thin after being made into a pot.
I'm afraid the main reason for not selling it is this, because the value of this kind of thing is inestimable now. If it were sold as ordinary minerals, how could they be happy with it? They wouldn't even be willing to pay double the price...
As the three were talking, the cable car gradually reached the bottom of the mine.
In fact, the mine is not very deep. It is not on the same level as those coal mines. You can still see the sky when you look up... But no matter how shallow it is, there are still some tricks.
Turning into the mine tunnel, the mine lights on both sides were dim, and as we went deeper, we felt a chill and a creepy smell. The footsteps of the three people in this environment sounded like something from a horror movie.
Calvin Choi’s smile began to seem a little forced: “Well… well, there haven’t really been so few people coming down to see it, it’s a bit…”
"Don't worry." Chu Ge patted his shoulder carelessly: "If there really is a ghost, I'll knock the man out and give him to you, and the woman... um... give her to my Qiuqiu as a maid."
Calvin Choi was somewhat helpless: “Whether it’s a man or a woman, keep it for yourself…it’s almost time.”
The mine was not really deep, and we reached a big pit at the bottom not far away.
Chu Ge jumped down and fumbled around for a while: "Is this the bottom?"
"Yes, this is the bottom of the current mining process. Of course, there is more than one mine, and this should be the deepest one. If you want to see other places, we will look at them all later."
Chu Ge smiled and said, "Old Cai, you don't have any special abilities, but you are also concerned about this?"
Calvin Choi smiled and said, “It’s my own mine, okay? Everyone cares so much about it, how can I be as heartless as Meng Meng? Besides, maybe I can get supernatural powers from it…”
"That's right, I have an idea." Chu Ge smiled and said nothing more. He squatted at the bottom of the mine, reached out and pressed the ground lightly, trying to sense if there was something fishy going on deeper.
Qiu Wuji had already done this. Her slender hands were placed on the bottom of the pit, and a faint light flashed in her eyes. It was obvious that she had tried her best to mobilize her spiritual sense, which covered an unknown area underground.
As a result of the exploration, it can be said that there were discoveries, because the bottom of this pit had been dug into before, but for some reason it was filled up again.
It can also be said that there is no result. All the rock layers in this entire area contain a faint spiritual energy, and there is no place that is particularly strong, and there is no clear source of flow, as if it has always been like this since the creation of the world.
If there must be a source, then it can only be said that the source is deeper and farther away, and everyone hasn't come into contact with it yet?
That’s normal. If it was easy to find, I wouldn’t have waited until now.
"Old Cai..." Chu Ge suddenly asked, "When did you discover that the minerals here are special?"
“It started when my father-in-law started making purple clay teapots himself, right?” Cai Zhijian said, “In the past, he only sold clay from minerals and made teapots for others. Later, he found that the teapots sold by others had a high repeat customer base and seemed to have health benefits. My father-in-law felt that he had been cheated, so he terminated the contract and started making teapots himself…”
Chu Ge: “Emmmm…about a few years ago?”
Calvin Choi thought for a moment and said, "It should have been about five or six years. I didn't even know Meng Meng at that time, or maybe I just met her? Anyway, this is what I heard later."
Five or six years sounds like a very random time point, but Chu Ge couldn't help but think of Yueying. She said that it also took five or six years for her superpowers to awaken.
It is around this time that my parents start to become busy.
I feel like something must have happened in those one or two years. I'll ask Zhong Yi later or just ask my mom.
"By the way, Lao Zhu doesn't plan to delve deeper into the research himself?"
Calvin Choi smiled and said, “Once a geological team came to investigate, they dug several dozen meters deeper into the pit, but found nothing, so they filled it up again. My father-in-law felt that the official couldn’t figure out the solution, so it would be even more unreliable to study it on our own. It would be better to just keep mining and make money.”
Chu Ge nodded and suddenly smiled and said, "I have an unwelcome request..."
Calvin Choi said: “You’re welcome. Please go ahead.”
"Could you please step aside for a moment? Some of our actions are not good for others to see..."
Calvin Choi widened his eyes in surprise, looking at Chu Ge and then at Qiu Wuji: “You guys can’t possibly play in this situation, right?”
Qiu Wuji’s eyes were wider than his. What’s wrong with the brain circuits of you men?
Chu Ge hugged her waist with a shameless face: "Yes, our hobbies are a bit special..."
Calvin Choi retreated, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Qiu Wuji watched Calvin Choi leave the mine expressionlessly until he heard the sound of the cable car going up. Then he secretly asked Chu Ge, “Want to burrow underground to see?”
Chu Ge also sent a telepathic message back: "Yes, it just so happens that I have been dug before, so I am relatively relaxed. Can I learn the earth escape technique?"
"You are not good enough at learning now. I'd better go down and take a look. It's the same." Qiu Wuji said: "Why did you trick him to leave?"
"Qiuqiu, you are so smart now. Just listen to what I say and you will know what I am thinking."
"Nonsense, do you really have a special hobby? What do you want to do here?"
Chu Ge secretly went to see Yunji Mountain.
Actually, I kind of do.
Qiu Wuji kicked him and said, "I'm asking you a question!"
"It's nothing, but this guy obviously has superpowers, but he keeps pretending to be a pig, so I'm naturally a little wary of him. Anyway, we should expose our abilities to others as little as possible, and earth escape is a new thing, so just don't show it to him."
"Do you feel more than just this?"
"Don't you think that as someone who works for a film and television company, he knows a little too much about mining? Moreover, he has been separated from Sister Mengmeng for a long time. When has he ever been in charge of a mine?"
Qiu Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Curiosity is the most harmful. If we don't let him see, he will definitely want to see more." Chu Ge continued to transmit his thoughts: "If we can find out what ability he uses to peek or eavesdrop on our actions, I feel that the gain will not be much less than the gain of finding the source of mineral spiritual energy."
Qiu Wuji sighed.
The heart of writing a book is dirty.
She stopped transmitting thoughts and said normally, "I'm going down. You protect me."
Chu Ge nodded, but before he could say anything, Qiu Wuji disappeared into the ground in a flash.
Chu Ge silently sensed the spiritual fluctuations around him, especially those coming from Cai Zhijian at the top of the pit.
But nothing was found, no fluctuations at all.
He frowned tightly, was he really thinking too much?
