Qingyan had just thought of this, and before she could speak to Chou Chou, Chou Chou took the initiative to send a message to her: "Yanyan, why don't I go to the mountain to have a look. I heard that coal can not only make iron, but there is also something like this in my space." How much gold is there, what if it can also be made into gold?"
It was digging the Xiangxiangna gold mine. Although there was a lot of nugget gold in it, it was relatively pure and could be directly exchanged for money.
Most of it is still in the state of ore, not gold that has been refined and purified.
If you want to spend it as money, you have to refine it again.
Although neither of them knows any refining methods and have never been exposed to it, there are plenty of gold mines anyway, so they can try it slowly.
Moreover, this coal sounds like a good thing, just in case it is needed at some point. Anyway, the space is very empty, and no matter how many things you have, you can put it there.
Qingyan thought that was fine. After all, she didn't know how much coal was left in the neighboring village. If it wasn't enough, she might have to add some secretly.
Of the five men in the village, one remained in the village in case something unexpected happened and several women couldn't handle it.
The remaining four people carried baskets and went to the next village.
They walked on the front foot, and Chou Chou also ran towards the direction of Meishan on the back foot.
Although Wangshan is said to be a dead horse, it doesn't look far away but is actually not close at all. With Chou Chou's speed, I really don't have to worry about it. I think I can be back at noon.
Lan Hua on the side watched Chou Chou quickly disappear from sight, and quickly turned to Qingyan and said: "Sister Xue, your monkey has escaped!"
Qingyan patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay. It went out to play on its own and will be back soon. Little monkeys can't sit still."
Lan Hua looked at the direction where Chou Chou disappeared, then looked at Qing Yan without saying anything more.
She still felt that Sister Xue was a fairy, and that monkey could not be her spiritual beast.
She had accidentally seen Sister Xue talking to the monkey. The monkey nodded and shook its head. How could such a spiritual being be an ordinary monkey?
There is also the divine power that can kill Khitan soldiers with one move, except for the immortals who don't think so.
The two of them stared at their original positions for a while, while Yang Erzhuang was left behind to pack up the wheels.
Lan Hua looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong with the two of them now, so she said to Qingyan: "Sister Xue, didn't you say you like wild flowers? Can I take you to pick them? It's not far away there. It's right there. Behind the slope."
Qingyan looked in the direction she pointed. It was a low slope in the west. It was indeed not very far.
When they walked to the slope, they found that the view was better on this slope. On the left was Yangjiaping, and on the right was the so-called neighboring village where Yang Dashan and the others were going. Here they could also see the four Yang Dashan people walking over there. .
This seems to be the dividing line between the two villages.
Qingyan also found that the houses in the neighboring village seemed to be more regular than those in Yangjiaping. There were a few adobe houses that she had seen that were square, unlike those in Yangjiaping where they were all round.
She curiously asked Lanhua: "Why are the houses in your two villages different in shape?"
Lan Hua looked in the direction Qingyan pointed and said, "It used to be the same. Later, a few people over there worked in the coal mines and earned some money, so they built the same tiles as the houses in the town. house."
After listening to Lan Hua's words, Qingyan looked over again and took a closer look. It was true that there were pieces of tiles placed on the roof.
The color was not like the modern red tiles, it was gray, and it was almost not much different from the adobe wall, so she didn't notice it for a moment.
However, she was still a little curious, "Then you can also build a square adobe house like that here. If you can't afford tiles for the roof, you can just use the current mud and thatch roof."
Lan Hua shook her head and said: "My grandma said that if you build that kind of house, you must use thicker and straighter wood as the purlin, otherwise the mud and grass will collapse.
But the good wood on the mountain is owned by its owner, and we can't cut it down casually. The only ones we can use are the small trees on the hill. Not only do they not grow straight, but they are also very short and crooked, so we can only do it. into a dome.
After this is made into a dome, it is rare for the roof to collapse and crush people to death..."
Qingyan nodded, so that was it. She really didn't think about it that much, she just thought that they were all adobe houses and they were all the same.
It turns out that when you were really poor, you couldn’t even build an adobe house.
Thinking about what her father had told her before, in Hong Kong City in the early days, many people from the mainland had no place to live, so they just built shacks on the side of the mountains.
It's the kind that's just surrounded by a few wooden boards or snakeskin bags. It's probably even tattered than this.
That is to say, the climate there is warm. If it were like the climate with four distinct seasons here, many people would probably freeze to death in winter.
The two people were chatting and walking forward. They continued to go up the slope and when they went down, they found a very small hill there.
There are a lot of weeds in the mountain col, and some even have scattered small flowers. This must be the place where the orchids are talking about.
Sure enough, Orchid said to her: "Sister Xue, look, I'm talking about here. Now the flowers have faded. There are not many. If it is spring, they are all here.
There are yellow, red, purple and pink ones, they are very beautiful! I will take it back and display it in the house. It smells delicious! "
Qingyan looked at the scattered little flowers and the lush weeds.
It was said to be wild grass, but there seemed to be some wild vegetables in it that grandma had recognized.
Yes, they are wild vegetables. There is one with yellow flowers called Popo Ding. When spring comes, grandma will take her to the lake next to their alley to get some and eat them with sauce.
She didn't like it very much. She thought the leaves were a bit throaty and bitter.
However, my parents and grandparents all like to eat it and say that eating it will relieve the internal heat.
She only recognized two or three of them, and one of them was amaranth, which she liked to eat because it could be eaten stir-fried or blanched in boiling water and served cold with garlic. She didn't recognize the others.
However, due to the season, the pole has grown very tall and has begun to seed. I guess it cannot be eaten, right? She doesn't quite understand this.
I heard Orchid say: "This, this, this, these are all edible. When we are in the green season in the spring, we will get some and eat them as vegetables. Now the vegetables at home are growing, so no one eats them." Already..."
