Zhu Kaishan and Xia Yuanzhang were talking beautifully back and forth when Niu Dejin stood up and said:
"Shopkeeper Xia, this is not how you drink the wine. You are stingy. That's the behavior of women. We are gentlemen, so we have to change to a bigger bowl."

Then he waved his hand outside and shouted: "Brother, bring the wine jar over here and change it to a larger bowl."

The waiter hunched over and moved the wine jar, while the other one changed the large bowls for several people present at the same time.

Zhu Kaishan admired and said while drinking:

"I have been in Yuanbao Town for a long time, and I have drunk wine from various places, but after drinking it, the sorghum roasted by Tangjia Dashaoguo in our town is still delicious. It is strong and soft, and it goes into the throat. It's like a stream of oil flowing into your stomach. After taking it, a scent comes out of your throat, which is so relaxing!"

Niu Dejin nodded and agreed:

"That's the 'Four Beauties' of Yuanbao Town, which are famous far and wide."

Xia Yuanzhang couldn't help but curiously said:

"Oh? Then I really don't know, which 'four beauties' are they?"

Niu Dejin laughed loudly, stroking his beard and said:
"You don't know this? Let me tell you, these four beauties are - the Tang family's cooking pot, the mouth of the tobacco bag, the hot quilt, and the big girl's legs."

Zhu Kaishan asked Niu Dejin: "Do you know about the 'Four Great Beauties' and the 'Four Great Treasures of Gold'?" Niu Dejin was stunned, shook his head repeatedly and said: "I have never heard of this, you Tell me, which are the 'Four Most Valuable Money'?"

Zhu Kaishan immediately grinned and said:
"A carpenter's axe, a bricklayer's knife, a bachelor's luggage, a big girl's waist."

"Hahaha~ Brother Kaishan, I didn't expect you to be in the same camp!" Xia Yuanzhang couldn't stop laughing.

On the other hand, Jin Boutou sneered slightly, and Niu Dejin looked calm:
"You're a foreigner, your smile is not friendly!"

Jin Baotou still maintained a cold smile and said:

"I laugh at you because you are a toad at the bottom of a well who has never seen Tian'er."

Niu got the golden fire, suddenly stood up and said:

"Where did you come from? What right do you have to laugh at us!"

Jin Baotou still smiled and said:

"Brother, don't get angry. Can't you just listen to me? We also have a few 'Big Four' there. Don't you want to hear it?"

Zhu Kaishan opened the ox and got the gold. He pointed at the golden handle and said:

"Brother Lao Niu, tell him not to come out of our Yuanbao Town unless he can."

Jin drank a bowl of wine boldly, wiped the corner of his mouth and said:

"Then let me first talk about our nook and cranny's 'Four Big Yellows' - the forest after autumn, the body of a tiger, the belly of my eldest sister, and the golden head of a dog."

Zhu Kaishan slapped his palm on the table with a loud bang:
"Okay, it's indeed the 'Four Big Yellows'! Are there any more?"

Jin Baotou continued:

"Wow, there are so many of them! The 'four great fragrances' - roe deer tendons, flying dragon birds, hericium mushrooms, frozen dumplings; and the 'four great joys' - big smoke bubbles, the flag of Jingou, and the mother on the kang Hey, my little one calls me a donkey. The 'four whites' - winter snow, sheepskin coats, big girl's buttocks, frost-stained grass..."

Zhu Kaishan laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, that's enough. It sounds like you're from Lao Jingou?"

Jin Baotou looked surprised when he heard this, raised his head and said:

"This eldest brother has great eyesight. I'm from Laojingou. That's a treasure."

Zhu Kaishan hid his thoughts and tried:
"Then what are you doing in Yuanbao Town? Recruiting gold diggers?"

Jin Baotou said with a smile:

"Exactly, does this elder brother have an idea? Then come with me. We, Lao Jinguo, have no one else. There is plenty of gold. You can just find a place to sit. Don't move while you sit there. If you are not careful, you may scratch the ground with your hands. Just pick out a golden pimple!"

Niu Dejin curled his lips and said, "What you said is a bit mysterious."

Jin Bantou knew that the other party did not believe it, but he was not annoyed: "It's not mysterious, this was all in the early years, but now we still have a lot of gold in Lao Jingou, and the gold diggers there have made a lot of money."

Zhu Kaishan squinted his eyes and asked with a hint of emotion:
"When are you leaving?"

Jin shook his head and said:
"Let's go as soon as we can. We won't be able to cross Caodianzi after the ice thaws. It's a bit late now."

Zhu Kaishan pretended not to understand and then asked:
"Then why?"

Jin Baotou explained:

"Dianzi will become a big sauce vat once it thaws. It is no joke to cross the big sauce vat."

Seeing that Zhu Kaishan was so curious, Jin Bangtou said with a smile:

"If you want to dig for gold, you have to prepare early. How about I give you a number first?"

Zhu Kaishan didn't do any ink and made a decision on the spot:

"Okay, you give me the number, by the way, and my son, both of them!"

When Niu Dejin heard this, he also started to cheer: "Give me your number, too. I want to see if old Jin Gou is as mysterious as you said."

Zhu Kaishan ignored him and asked again:
"You come from Laojingou. Let me ask you about someone. There is a leader there named He Laosi. Do you recognize him?"

Jin shook his head and said, "I recognize it. Why, do you also recognize this big brother?"

Zhu Kaishan shook his head hastily, how could he admit it:
"I don't recognize him. I've heard people say that He Laosi is an expert at gold mining. He knows the veins of gold. When he gets into a river, he can point his finger and he's almost sure there's gold!"

Jin took a mouthful of vegetables with his head and asked while chewing:
"I heard that in the past two years, He Laosi and a brother-in-law have been working together to dig for sand gold in Wudaohezi, Laojingou. Do you recognize this person?"

Zhu Kaishan was shocked and shook his head: "I don't recognize him, what? This person also has He Laosi's ability?"

Jin nodded and said:

"If you have the ability, he and He Laosi can read gold veins."

Zhu Kaishan chuckled innocently: "Why do you care so much? Just have He Laosi. With him here, you still have to worry about not digging for gold?"

Jin Bangtou sneered: "Don't count on it, something happened to He Laosi!"

Zhu Kaishan's heart was tense, but on the surface he was still stable:

"What's going on? How can something happen to such a powerful person?"

Jin Baotou smiled mysteriously and stopped talking.

Zhu Kaishan was so anxious that he drank wine slowly, but it was inconvenient to ask again...

After returning home, Zhu Kaishan, who was slightly tipsy, lit a fire and smoked a cigarette, looking at the Kanto fields in late winter and early spring, which were already a little green.

Wei Chunfang saw Zhu Kaishan's appearance and walked over cautiously and said:
"You didn't say a few words when I called you back. What happened?"

Zhu Kaishan sighed and said:

"Something happened to my brother He Laosi. I'm afraid he has already gone to the West!"

When he said this, he was obviously angry, otherwise he would not say this about his brother.

Wei Chunfang was shocked, took Zhu Kaishan's hand and said:

"Then don't go! If He Laosi is really dead, and you jump in again, wouldn't that be the same fate as He Laosi?"

Zhu Kaishan shook his head and said softly:
"If He Laosi really dies, he must have died for me!"

Wei Chunfang obviously didn't understand the twists and turns here, and said in a daze:

"Why would He Laosi die for you?"
