Chapter 181 Mineral Veins
Shen Qianning had never been to Xingfu Village at night.
But the rumors about Xingfu Village before were mostly spread by rumors.
Hearing a baby crying in the middle of the night, seeing a female ghost in white clothes, etc.
But she also asked Qinglin that they had lived here for three or four months and hadn't seen anything.
And another advantage is that it is very quiet.
No one comes here to cause trouble at all.
Seeing Magistrate Sun trembling, Shen Qianning was too embarrassed to comfort him directly, so he took the initiative and said, "The location where the jade material was found is in the forest behind the village."
Someone spoke, and Magistrate Sun's condition improved.
He came back to his senses and looked at Shen Qianning: "I heard that the forest behind the village is where the villains from the previous village did their evil. Do you dare to go there alone?"
Mencun is notorious.
When he heard what the people in Mencun did, he was furious.
It is really infuriating.
When Shen Qianning thought about the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he experienced in the last days, Mencun was simply not worth mentioning.
But you can't say that.
He sighed and said: "Like Bones, I'm more worried about not having money. To be honest, I was very scared at first, and I felt anxious every step I took. But after I found the jade, I suddenly wasn't scared anymore."
The atmosphere is much more relaxed.
Magistrate Sun laughed, pointed at Shen Qianning helplessly and said, "You, you! You really want to make money."
Shen Qianning did not deny it, and said seriously: "I can't do it without making money! You don't know that I am really scared of poverty. There was a famine before and I didn't eat meat for two or three years. The adults are better, but the children are as thin as bamboo poles."
I can't help but sigh when I talk about this.
Magistrate Meng thought of those dark three years and said, "Those three years were indeed very hard."
Qinglin and the others heard footsteps and voices outside.
She vaguely heard Shen Qianning's voice and walked out of the room.
Shen Qianning saw the fire and spoke: "Qinglin is me!"
Everyone walked towards Shen Qianning.
Shen Qianning inserted the torch in his hand into the hole in the wall and said, "Prefect Sun and Magistrate Meng are here to discuss matters on the mountain. There are eight of us in total. Please arrange a place to live."
Considering that we haven't eaten yet, Shen Qianning continued: "Get some more food and we'll all eat."
So a fire was lit outside the house.
The surroundings are much brighter.
Men live here in Xingfu Village at night. People from Wei Peng and Xu Yang, it can be said that Xingfu Village is really lively.
With Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng present, Qinglin certainly didn't dare to neglect, took out the bacon and started cooking it directly.
After eating and washing up, it was already late at night. Magistrate Sun and Magistrate Meng's rooms were next to each other.
The bedding has been replaced with new ones.
The reason why there are new beddings is because Qinglin thought things through and prepared them in advance in case guests came.
I didn't expect to use it.
Shen Qianning was also tired and fell asleep while lying down.
Early the next morning, she heard voices outside.
When he opened the door, he saw that Magistrate Sun and Magistrate Meng had washed up and were pointing at the red sweet potatoes in the field and saying something.
Women working in Qingtian Village came. They didn't know Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng, but they knew they couldn't be lazy when working.
Each of them went to the fields with a backpack on their backs and a small backpack in front of them.
Shen Qianning quickly washed up and walked next to Magistrate Sun.
"Boss Shen, why do they have a backpack hanging in front of them!"
Shen Qianning pinched a stubble vine and said: "This tender tip is a very delicious vegetable, and the stem under the leaves can also be blanched and dried in the sun to be used as a dried vegetable. As for this large thick vine, it is used for feeding The tender tips of pigs are relatively delicate, so they have to be packed in separate baskets to prevent the leaves from getting rotten and making transportation inconvenient."
Magistrate Sun suddenly realized it and felt that his knowledge had also increased.
Shen Qianning saw Qinglin's wife cooking.
So he walked over and told me to fry a red sweet potato tip in the morning.
So he walked slowly around the ground with Magistrate Sun and Magistrate Meng.
"There are more red potatoes than potatoes. The main reason was that the red potato vines could be used. I raised dozens of pigs here. When the pigs are sold out, it will be another income. In the future, people will plant red potatoes, and they can also use them. Feed the vines to the pigs, so you can get more income.”
Shen Qianning explained in detail. As he walked, he told the two of them how to eat these two crops.
By the time they walked around and returned to where they were staying, the food was all ready.
On the long table, there were fried red sweet potato tips, bacon stew, and a few wild vegetables and pickles.
Magistrate Sun and Magistrate Meng ate with gusto.
Magistrate Sun praised: "This red sweet potato tip is really delicious."
Magistrate Meng continued: "It would also be a good thing if the people plant it and have another dish on the table."
After eating, Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng were both a little full.
Shen Qianning looked at the officials brought by Magistrate Sun and whispered, "Are these officials reliable?"
She was worried that the person she brought was unreliable and would cause some trouble.
Magistrate Sun obviously knew Shen Qianning's concerns and said, "I will take Wei Peng and the others up, and these officials will stay in the village."
Shen Qianning felt more at ease now.
As long as these people are not brought along, everything will be fine.
After resting for a while, we formed a team and went up the mountain.
Qing Lin took the lead, Shen Qianning was second, followed by Magistrate Sun and County Magistrate Meng, as well as the experts brought by Magistrate Sun, and behind them were Wei Peng and the others.
Shen Qianning held a pickaxe in his hand and used it to hit the stones on the roadside as he walked.
The stones in the woods at the foot of the mountain are nothing special, just ordinary stones.
Halfway up the mountain, Qinglin stopped and said, "The stone I found last time is right here."
Shen Qianning began to hit the nearby rocks with a pickaxe.
With this knock, the first stone is the desired stone.
Shen Qianning was a little excited.
Magistrate Sun and Magistrate Meng came up quickly.
After seeing clearly that this stone was different, they all showed expressions of surprise.
The people invited by Magistrate Sun also became excited: "There are so many jade stones exposed outside. There must be jade veins here. You can search again to see if there is white jade."
Find the top of the mountain from the middle of the mountain and find a lot of jade.
In particular, Magistrate Sun accidentally knocked a big stone. It took three adults to hug the big stone, and the result was also a large piece of sapphire.
Wei Peng and the others finally knew the purpose of Prefect Sun coming to Xingfu Village.
Every one of them was surprised.
Surprisingly, every day in the village, I didn’t find any jade here.
After confirming that there was a large mineral vein here, Magistrate Sun's mind became active: "Is there a road to get here without passing through the village?"
Mineral veins are important, and the crops in the village are even more important.
If there was going to be mining here, there would be a lot of people coming and going.
Qinglin was very familiar with the neighborhood and pointed to a road on the side: "You can go directly to the official road from here. The road is relatively flat, so you don't need to pass through the village."
