Chapter 217 Digging Stones

On this day in Mingwan Village, everyone is scrambling to go to the mine to find stones.

When Lin Yanwu arrived, the mine was full of people, and the large pit was full of heads.

Lin Yan smiled wryly: "We came late, it might not be easy to dig good ore."

"That's not necessarily the case. Their tools are not good enough, and they can't dig out any good stones." Huang Ying looked at the heads below, and many people were beating on the wall of the pit with stones and logs.

They all have mining experience, and it was not easy when mining iron ore.Without other methods, it is difficult to dig out the ore with only those crude tools.

Lan Yue agreed: "We brought hammers, hammer heads, etc., all of which are made of iron, and mining must be better than them. Find a place and do it quickly."

Time is running out, and there are only five days, so don't waste it.

Five people went down to the mine, shuttled through the crowd, looking for good ore.

Lin Yan stared at a piece of green at a glance. These ores grow in stones. If you can see the color, as long as you dig it out, the quality will not be too bad.

He found a place with the pickaxe, and smashed it down with a hammer, without moving.

"No, these people seem to be crazy. Some people snatch the prey when they see it, and steal it when people are not paying attention. I have no choice but to let our people surround the prey."

After working for more than two hours, the meat exchange was finished, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Lan Jia and Yu Fei also dug seven yuan each.

Lan Yue agreed: "These stones are not big, let's repair them again, remove the excess stones at the corners, and there are not many left."

These people just watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal. They obviously couldn't do anything with this ore, but they laughed at her like this.

Lan Xing led people to maintain order, and insisted on separating people with a human wall, leaving enough space for Lin Yan and the others.

Lin Yan just glanced at the records, the stones obtained by the prey were several times that they dug out, it was simply incomparable.

"I've already gone to deal with it. The number of people is limited, so take your time. After the first batch of prey is dealt with, the exchange can begin." After experiencing it just yesterday, Lan Xing had a plan in mind, "Lin Yan, you guys came just in time. Go down there and look at the stones. We really don’t know how to exchange stones and meat.”

A wooden board was placed in the exchange place, ready to put meat.Lin Yan took out a pen and paper and said, "Lan Jia, you will be responsible for recording later, and Lan Yue Yufei and I will appraise the stone."

"That's right, Lan Xing, you have contributed the most. The stones exchanged at this moment are much more than what we dug in a day. In the next few days, we will rely on you."

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, you look after the scene, we will go over and help."

Showing a bright smile, Lin Yan turned around, and in one go, with a hammer head down, a large stone fell, and the green stone she was looking forward to was embedded in the stone.

Lin Yan smiled wryly: "Looking at the situation, it's not easy to squeeze in."

Lin Yan turned around and smiled, and continued to swing the hammer.

Lan Yue said: "I dug up 11 yuan."

After waiting for a few minutes, the processed meat arrived, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly boiled up, rushing forward, wanting to be the first to get the meat.

Seeing Lan Xing, she rushed to his side, "Why is it so messy, it hasn't started yet?"

"Okay." Huang Ying replied with a smile, "I dug up eight blue stones, and they are all beautiful. I made a lot of money today."

This piece of copper ore is really good, there are a lot of malachite and azurite, it is really too wasteful to keep it unused.

Seeing this, the few people who made room for her burst out laughing.They thought that with Lin Yan's confident appearance, he could knock down at least one stone with a hammer.

When the five packed up and returned to Ming Dahe's house with sacks on their backs, the yard was full of people, regardless of whether there were beautiful stones or not, they all rushed over to watch the excitement.

Huang Ying said: "This stone is too heavy, we will have to suffer if we want to bring it back to Sun City."

After drinking the broth, Lin Yan felt alive, "I'm really tired this day. I ate something in the morning and stayed up until the evening before eating the second meal. Everyone has worked hard."

"That's right, there is always a way. Let's go back quickly. I don't know how many prey Blue Star and the others brought back, there should be no less."

Someone asked: "Is there a lot of prey?"

Until someone yelled: "The prey is back, and those who want to change the meat go quickly."

Like Lin Yan, Lan Yue and the others also found the stone they wanted, and kept beating it with the hammer.

Several people packed the dug stones in sacks.Lin Yan's harvest was also good, digging up nine yuan.

With suffocation in his heart, he kept moving his hands, and the hammer swung faster and faster, with constant bang bang noises.

"Blue Moon, Huang Ying, let's go back too, I'm starving to death."

"Did no one handle the prey?"

They are all pure blue or green, and they look very beautiful.

Soon, the people of Mingwan Village discovered that Lin Yan and the others had different tools.But I can only watch helplessly, there is no good tool, and there is no way to get the hard stone down.

The crowd flocked away, and the mine, which was bustling just now, quickly became deserted.

Lin Yan squeezed his way in from the crowd, and the prey was blocked by people, so he couldn't see clearly.

The lively crowd fell silent in an instant.Unexpectedly, Lin Yan didn't hit randomly, but really succeeded in knocking down the stone.

Lin Yan looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, no wonder Lan Xing and the others would come back.I was immersed in mining just now, and completely forgot the passage of time, only now I realized that my stomach was empty.

"It's okay, we have a lot of people, so we can carry them separately, and we will definitely be able to go back." Lin Yan was not too worried, "Our people are all strong, and we can take any amount back."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I've only been busy for a few days. After five days, we'll be leaving." Lan Xing said indifferently.

"A lot. It's much more than yesterday, hurry up, and you won't be able to grab the meat if you're late."

Huang Ying said: "You guys are really working hard. You have to hunt and deal with so many people. When you return to Sun City, I will definitely give you credit."

She must let them see how loudly she laughs now, and the expression on her face when the ore is dug out will be wonderful.

After knocking down the stone, a crystal green color was revealed. Lin Yan was overjoyed, and without caring about the people behind him, he found the right position and continued to knock.

After more than 20 minutes of busy work, she felt that it was almost done. She looked back and saw that the people watching the excitement were still there, and she was spitting.

Huang Ying said: "Put down the sack, I'll watch over here, you go in and help first."

A few minutes later, Lin Yan changed the position of the pickaxe and continued to strike.

Lin Yan and the others dig more and more vigorously, and they don't care what other people think.

After eating and preparing to take a break, the old man Hei and Ming Dahe came over.

Huang Ying greeted them with a smile. It turned out that she was asking what they wanted the stone for.

Although I can't say it very clearly, I can still say roughly what it is used for.She told them that it was used to refine copper and make bronze wares, just like the copper wares in Mingwan Village.

Ming Dahe's eyes lit up immediately, and he proposed to exchange copper utensils for meat.Today, almost all good-looking stones were found, and it was too difficult for the villagers to dig out the stones.

Huang Ying glanced at Lin Yan, saw her nod slightly, and agreed with a smile.
