Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 531 Golden Rice

The dried stalks of the carnation are relatively tough, so many of its leaves will not fall off, and its head, which is underneath the dried petals, is its seeds.

Normally, its seed capsule will break apart naturally, and then the seeds will fall nearby and continue to germinate and grow.

The most important thing is that dianthus is a perennial plant. As long as its roots are not damaged, the dianthus will not die.

Therefore, as long as the carnation plant grows, it will normally grow in large patches and grow more and more.

Wang An walked up to the piece of straw, opened the remaining seed packet and took another look, and finally confirmed that the whole piece of straw was carnations.

When his expectations were confirmed, Wang An was in a very happy mood.

Although the ground is thawing at this season, it has not completely melted yet, which means the land is still very hard.

But for Wang An, this is not a big deal.

In fact, it’s not just Wang An, it’s the same for everyone.

As long as it's treasure hunting, let alone the frozen soil that has not completely melted, I am not exaggerating at all. Even if it is a hard rock, you have to break it with a sledgehammer.

I've spoken. As long as the money is in place, even if you are in a manure pit, I will jump in with my mouth open and pull you out.

That's just my nature! That's just my nature! That's just how I am. Awesome!

Wang An first tried digging with a shovel, but he could not dig any deeper after digging less than 3 centimeters.

So Wang An took off the sack containing the gold nuggets and the 81-bar on his back and put them aside. He picked up the shovel again and started to compete with the land with gritted teeth.

As the sound of "thump thump thump" was heard, sparks would fly every time the shovel touched the ground.

Don't get me wrong, the reason for the sparks is that there are a lot of large and small stones mixed in the soil.

Therefore, it is very normal for sparks to be produced when the shovel head hits the stone.

I have to say, digging a hole on the ground where soil is mixed with stones is a very difficult task.

The key point was that the soil was half frozen, which meant that Wang An had to use a lot of force every time he shoveled.

Just after Wang An had shoveled countless times, with a "crack" sound, the wooden shovel bar in Wang An's hand could no longer bear the double impact of Wang An and the ground, and went straight to see the Buddha!
It actually committed suicide!
To be honest, the shovel lever is actually quite sturdy, but you have to know that it is not thick. Especially when prying heavier objects, when the weight exceeds the limit that it can bear, it is inevitable that it will break.

The reason why the shovel handle in Wang An's hand broke was because Wang An inserted the shovel into the crevice of the stone and subconsciously used too much force when he pushed it out, so the shovel handle broke.

However, the sudden breakage of the shovel handle also shook Wang An.

Wang An took the only remaining section of the shovel in his hand, rushed forward, and plunged into the straw stalks.

Fortunately, Wang An was lowering his head, so the top of his head was like a bulldozer, knocking down all the straw wherever it passed.

I have to say, when a person puts all his strength on his head, the power is quite evil.

To be honest, although Wang An looked very embarrassed while lying in the straw, he was actually fine, because the cotton hat on his head took all the responsibility for Wang An. Wang An stood up, looked at the half-broken shovel in his hand, sighed deeply, and threw the half-broken shovel far away.

Failure at the critical moment, what a fuck!
Looking at the shovel with only one section left, and then looking at the small hole that had been dug more than ten centimeters, Wang An picked up the shovel, rubbed the broken part of the shovel on a stone, and squatted there to start digging.

It’s true that the short-handled shovel is quite useful. At least it’s much better than using your hands.

As the sounds of "bang leng" and "bang leng" were heard, Wang An dug the pit about 5 centimeters deeper.

Just as Wang An pushed the loosened stones and soil aside and was about to shovel down with the shovel again, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Wang An shouted "Fuck!" and even his breathing became rapid.

The reason why Wang An lost his composure was that he saw a scene that he had never seen in his past or present life.

At the roots of these carnations, there are many, many small golden particles densely packed.

These small gold particles look about the size of millet grains. Of course, there are some slightly larger ones, but the largest one is not as big as a rice grain.

I have to say that the shocking effect of this scene is quite strong.

The main thing is that Wang An has never seen such a situation, and has never even heard of it.

You have to know that in his previous life, Wang An traveled all over the country, and he knew a lot about various anecdotes and customs in various places.

But this kind of rice made of gold is truly unique to Scorpion Baba. With Wang An’s knowledge, he has never seen or heard of it before!
Wang An put down the shovel in his hand and picked up the golden rice in the pit one grain at a time.

After Wang An picked up all the golden rice in the pit, he also pushed aside the pile of earth and rocks that he had previously pushed aside, and there were indeed a few grains of golden rice inside.

The color of this golden rice is also golden yellow, but for some reason, the luster is a bit dull and not as bright as the gold nugget I picked up earlier.

After Wang An carefully inspected the pile of earth and rocks and the dug pit, he had about 2 taels of golden rice in his hands.

After picking up the golden rice, Wang An stood up and looked at the large field of carnation straw that had not yet been dug in front of him. Suddenly, he had a feeling that "all the wealth in the world is in my hands."

Because this is where golden rice is produced, and the gold mine has not been found yet!
The small pit in front of us is only about thirty or forty centimeters in diameter. If the entire field of carnation straw is dug up, how much golden rice can be obtained?

Thinking of this, Wang An took out a small cloth bag that he had used to hold bear bile and put all the golden rice in it.

Wang An tied the mouth of the cloth bag with great satisfaction and put it into his shoulder bag. Then he lowered his head to pick up the shovel and continued to dig.

This time, Wang An did not dig the hole as hard as last time, because Wang An discovered that this golden rice was not only at the same depth, but could be found wherever there were carnation roots.

Wang An also discovered that when the depth of the pit exceeded 15 centimeters, the golden rice disappeared.

Therefore, Wang An speculated that the existence of these golden rices might be related to these carnations.
