365 Old way

"Is this thing valuable?" Brian looked at the stone and opened his mouth to ask.

Zhang Chi said: "If jadeite is valuable, but I don't know if it is jadeite."

"Can't you see?" Cannon was a little depressed, thinking that what you just said was true, and now you add that you can't tell, isn't that poor and happy.

Zhang Chi was in a good mood at the moment, and he opened his mouth and said, "Our family is just an ordinary family. How can we know that stuff? It's like I'm holding a rough diamond now. Can you know it's a diamond?"

"I really can't see it," Cannon said after thinking for a while.

At this point Brian asked, "Who buried this thing under the tree?"

"How do I know that?" Zhang Chi shook his head.

Getting involved with Cannon and Brian, Zhang Chi stood outside the pit and dialed the phone.

After two rings, the phone went through.

"Found the cow?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Melika's voice came from the other end. She was obviously joking, and Zhang Chi would call home every day to talk about today's situation.

It's just that the call is usually made at night, but today it suddenly changed to noon, so Melika made a joke.

“Really found it”

Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Melika still didn't believe it, she opened her mouth and asked, "Then let Cannon tell me."

Cannon heard the voice, but didn't answer the phone, and said loudly: "Boss is found, more than last time, hidden in a small woods, I really like what the boss said to shit now, come on This time it was like this, and this time it was like this again, every time the boss shits, he can immediately pull out a herd of cows... ".

Uh!
Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed, and said to Cannon: "What are you talking about?"

Although it is a good thing to find a cow, but if you combine this with your own shit, why does it sound so disgusting? Also, what kind of shit do you use, how elegant is it to go to the bathroom?

Pooh!
Uneducated, I despise you from the bottom of my heart.

"Listen, I really found the cattle. You send someone over. My current position is on the route we prepared. The third camp is a little further ahead. On the hillside, there is a place not far away ...".

Zhang Chi told Melika his current location.

Where does Melika use it for positioning? It’s not easy to check the location of the satellite phone.

"Did you really find the herd?" Melika confirmed again.

Zhang Chi couldn't take it anymore, took his satellite phone to the side of a cow, and stretched out his hand to pat the cow.

"Come on, moo!"

The cow was also obedient, and he mooed to Melika when he opened his mouth.

"It really is!"

It was only then that Melika fully believed Zhang Chi's words, so she said: "You wait, I will arrange the manpower today, and I will set off this afternoon at the earliest, and tomorrow morning at the latest."

After talking for a while, Melika hung up the phone, started calling the helicopter rental company, and then gathered the cowboys on the ranch. At this time, she couldn't care about the cows at home, anyway, these cows usually They will not be lost, they are all stamped with the stamp of their own ranch, and most of them can be found if lost.

The first priority now is to drive the cattle that Zhang Chi found back to the pasture.

Melika is busy with work, Zhang Chi and the others have nothing to do, and the cattle can't run away, because Zhang Chi didn't pay attention, and the position where he herds the cattle is a bit funny, with cliffs on both sides and the other side It's not a cliff, but a broken gap, about one meter wide and ten meters deep. If a person is brave enough to jump, he can jump over it, but a cow is not so brave.

So now Zhang Chi and the others only need to stand here, and a herd of cows can't run away.

What's more, the cows don't want to run away. When they came out, they were confused. They were grazing grass in the gourd and living a beautiful life. Suddenly, they found that they came to this place, and they were all confused. Question mark, some cows are still chewing the grass from the gourd, and they haven't recovered for a long time.

For the current environment, many cows in the herd don’t like it, but they have nothing to do. Fortunately, Zhang Chi is here, and they can feel at ease. There will be several days to adapt to the environment.

Even so, many cattle are not used to the living environment in the wild. They are all used to living in a pampered life. Now they have to find grass and judge where the grass is delicious. This group of cows is a bit uncomfortable.

It's like a group of urban children suddenly returned to the countryside, and it's still the old countryside.

The three of Zhang Chi are pondering over the stone.

The stone is quite big, and it is impossible for one person to remove it, let alone one person, even if two or three people want to remove it, it will be troublesome.

First of all, this is in the mountains, there are no bridges or roads, and there are rolling mountains. If you want to get this thing away, you can use a horse, but it will be ridiculously slow.

Because there is no way for a horse to carry this stone, it is possible to pull it, but you want a horse for a cart in this place?Then you really think too much.

Cannon said: "Let BOSS prepare the stone tool, and we will break it into pieces and transport it back."

What Cannon said obviously is that he has never played with jadeite. If you cut a rough stone into several pieces, you will be scolded. How can such a rough stone be opened.

However, Zhang Chi is also a person who has never finished Jade, and he felt that Cannon's idea was a good one.

"Well, it makes sense. It's really difficult to get back such a big piece. It's much better to make it into a small piece. But I have a way, which is easier than opening stone tools," Zhang Chi said.

Cannon became a little curious and asked, "What way?"

Zhang Chi said: "Burn the fire, put this stone on the fire, wait for it to heat up, pour cold water on it, and the stone will naturally crack."

The method Zhang Chi said was the ancient quarrying method. In the past, people did not have modern tools to quarry stones. They all used this method. They set up firewood on the stones and burned them. After the stones were heated, they poured cold water on the stones. .

When a hot stone encounters cold water, the temperature of the surface layer suddenly drops, but the temperature inside is still high, and the force generated by the two temperature differences can crack the stone.

But Cannon didn't know that the United States had been industrializing for a long time. Let's take an example. The New York subway was opened to traffic in [-].

The Qing Dynasty fell in [-], that is to say, eight years after the establishment of the New York subway in the United States, the Qing Dynasty did not fall in China.

You calculate the time difference.

So people like Cannon and Brian don’t know this method of breaking stones. The place where Cannon came from is poor, but everyone in South America knows that the nature of Latin people is free and passionate. Diligence has one meaning.

The two of them didn't know this method, and there was a little advantage, that is, they both listened to Zhang Chi. Anyway, they were waiting for Melika to send someone over, so the three of them found firewood and started burning stones in the pit.

None of the three of them thought about how the tree would fall down as soon as they were pressed, and no one cared whether the stone was left by someone else. The treasure you find is yours. If you don't take it away, or hide it and someone else finds it, it doesn't belong to you.

It cannot be said that if you find it and bury it, it is still yours if someone else finds it. As long as you don't take care of this thing, the ownership will be transferred to others.

There are a lot of firewood here, let's burn it directly, anyway, there is nothing wrong with the three of them meeting for a while.

After burning for more than two hours, Zhang Chi also added a little oil to support the combustion.

Waiting until the stone was almost burnt black, Zhang Chi felt that it was almost done, because he didn't dare to reach out to touch the surface of the stone.

"Water!"

Zhang Chi said.

Cannon said: "Do you want to burn it for a while, maybe you can crack the stone."

Zhang Chi glanced at Cannon, wondering if this old boy was joking with himself, waiting for the stone to burn and crack by itself, how dare you think!

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi picked up the bucket next to him and poured it on the stone.

As soon as the cold water met the hot stone, a puff of smoke rose immediately, and when the smoke rose, the stone made a crackling sound
Zhang Chi continued to pour water on the stone, and the sound of crackling could be heard endlessly.

Zhang Chi didn't stop until the firewood was completely soaked, no more mist rose from the rocks, and all the water poured on it flowed to the ground.

The stone cracked, cracked five or six pieces, large and small.

Zhang Chi, Cannon, and Brian looked eagerly at the cracked stone, wanting to see the green inside.

It's a pity that all three of Zhang Chi thought too much.

When the cracked stone is separated, a part of the middle part shows green, but most of the place does not have green, which is the flowery white of the stone.

Zhang Chi is not too disappointed, because he is Chinese, he has read novels, and heard stories.

Anyway, he didn't spend any money on the stone, and now that it's cracked like this, no gems can be seen at all. In fact, there is no loss to him.

Zhang Chi picked up the piece where the small window was originally opened, and found that the small window was very capable. Originally, the piece of Luyi was like a piece embedded in the stone. Once the small crack was removed, it looked like a stone. It is full of water-green stones inside, but in fact it is only about half a centimeter thick.

This thing must be valuable, but Zhang Chi really can't tell how much it is worth.

When Zhang Chi was holding the stone to look at it, Brian suddenly yelled at Zhang Chi: "Boss, come and see".

Zhang Chi stretched his head curiously, and found that Brian was digging the stone again.

Zhang Chi felt that the child was stupid, what kind of stone was he picking with his hands, he didn't want his hands anymore, did he?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi was dumbfounded that as Brian dug out more and more stone foam, a handful of sun-green stones actually appeared inside.

"Well, there is something else," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Brian asked, "Is this worth the money?"

Cannon stretched out his head to take a look, and said: "It's really worthless, this thing is not as good as the thing I saw just now."

"You know this?" Both Zhang Chi and Brian were curious.

"You don't need to know. You can tell it's worthless just by looking at it." Cannon said, "But there may be something valuable in this stone. Boss, take everything back and drive slowly."

"Come on, everyone will share a piece, everyone depends on their luck," Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Cannon looked at Brian, and both of them shook their heads together: "You discovered this, not us together."

The two of them didn't take this thing seriously at all. Besides, the boss helped the tree out, and it had nothing to do with them.
