Hello, 1983

Liu Qingshan looked at what Hou San was holding in his arms, and was a little stunned.

The thing was dark gold, with an uneven surface and a flat shape.

He is not small, about a circle bigger than a blue ball, and he looks quite heavy. Although Hou San is not very vigorous, he is still an adult.

Liu Qingshan hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to pick it up.

While Hou San put the thing in Liu Qingshan's hand, he still muttered: Boss, calm down.

That thing really feels heavy to start, I'm afraid it looks like more than ten kilograms.

This is also because the shape is relatively flat. If it is spherical, I am afraid it will be heavier.

Hou San clapped his hands: This is a golden lump brought by Medvich from the Black Bear Gang. There are too many impurities in it.

If it weren't for the fact that we didn't have a jeweler here, I'd find someone to melt it into a few gold ingots. It would look so pleasing to the eye. Now this thing looks ugly.

That's right, this thing in front of me is really ugly, not to mention the pimples on the surface, and there are still holes in some places.

Liu Qingshan carefully studied the gold lumps in his arms, and then said, Brother Hou, it's thanks to you that you didn't smelt into gold ingots, otherwise the loss would be huge.

Boss, how do you say this? Hou San was a little confused.

Liu Qingshan put the gold nugget on the ground: This should be called dog head gold. It is a natural gold nugget with impurities in it, which is normal.

The amount of this bullion is very rare, so it cannot be calculated according to the value of gold. People regard it as a symbol of wealth and good luck, and its value is much higher than that of gold.

Hou Sanyi patted his thigh: I heard adults talk nonsense when I was a child, but I have heard that whoever picked up gold and made a lot of money. Isn't that what it is?

That's right. Liu Qingshan nodded: This kind of natural gold nuggets are usually produced near gold mines, and the causes are very complicated.

It is also said that this is a gold-rich meteorite that fell to the earth, and when it burned in the atmosphere, it burned out other materials, leaving only gold, which was formed.

Liu Qingshan gently stroked the golden knot on the ground again: Anyway, it is very precious, and it can be regarded as a treasure.

Hou Sanze blinked his small eyes: I heard Medvich say that his subordinates just used a box of canned fruits and exchanged this thing. I don't know if there are any more?

The guy slapped his thigh again: By the way,

Boss, according to Medvich, there are quite a few gold mines over there. As I told you, kottou gold is usually near the gold mines, which is in line with it.

Are there gold mines? Of course Liu Qingshan knows that in a few decades, there will be more than 200 gold mines on the other side of Lake Baikal, and the output of gold is huge.

On Maozi's side, the land area is vast, so correspondingly, the resources are also very rich.

In fact, if it is really said, the Lake Baikal region still belongs to China for a period of time in history.

The famous Suwu Shepherd is located in the North Sea, and the North Sea refers to Lake Baikal.

It's just that some rulers in history believe that such a wild place is not very useful.

This kind of stupid concept was also a very common phenomenon at the time. Did you sell Alaska to the United States without seeing Lao Maozi?

As for the price, it can scare people to death: more than seven million US dollars, it is too cheap to believe.

That's it, Lao Mi was still stubborn and didn't pay in full.

Ding Shan also added: I heard from the Black Bear Gang that the gold over there is really cheap. In addition to Maozi, there are half of the people there. I can't remember their names, but I heard they are Mongolians. One of the tribe.

It's from Buryat. Of course, the information Liu Qingshan had was not comparable to anyone at this moment.

Ding Shan nodded: Yes, it is the Buryat people. I heard that they still live a more traditional herding life. Sometimes they graze by the river, and they can find gold in the river.

For them, this gold is not good for eating or drinking, except for jewelry, and it's not very useful at all.

While talking, Ding Shan smacked his lips from time to time, looking really envious.

If it were changed to this side, then there would be more cattle and sheep, and they would not go to panning for gold every day.

Liu Qingshan also understood a little: it is no wonder that a box of canned fruits can be exchanged for such a large piece of gold.

Those nomadic tribes in Buryatia may never have been to the city in their entire lives, and gold is really of little use to them.

Hou San also babbled: Unfortunately, if those Buryatians also come here for border trade, and we exchange materials for gold, then it will be fun.

Liu Qingshan also felt a move in his heart, the Buryat people can't come, they can go.

They can't make it through, but the people of the Black Bear Gang should be fine if they can bring back the jade and gold.

Mainly in Buryatia, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the government is beyond reach.

If you get more large-scale mining equipment in the past and mine gold on a large scale, maybe it will really make a difference.

No, this matter must be discussed with the Black Bear Gang. If it happens, then there will be another way to make money.

As for customs clearance, when winter arrives, aren't there passages on the river?

Besides, they can even fix fighter jets and tanks for you, let alone gold?

Liu Qingshan remembered that the Buryat people in the Buryat Republic later kept clamoring for independence. After all, they were a branch of the Mongolian ethnic group and had nothing to do with Maozi.

So is there such a possibility: when the Soviet Union disintegrated, it pushed the Buryats and directly became independent?

After returning to the hotel from the warehouse, Liu Qingshan pondered it for a while, but it was human, so he decided to give it a try.

As for this batch of Russian jade, when Liu Qingshan was about to go back, he used a big truck to pull it back directly to Jiapigou and hoard it first.

At this moment, even Hetian jade and jadeite are not so valuable, let alone lower-grade Russian materials.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan came up with another idea: should we take advantage of the cheaper jade materials now and stock up on the last batch of Hetian jade materials and jadeite wool?

The next morning, Liu Qingshan woke up before dawn.

Because of the high latitude here, in winter, it is very late in the morning and very early in the dark.

When he woke up Li Tieniu in a room and went out for morning exercise together, the sky was still full of stars.

Now is the coldest time of the year again, and this morning is the coldest time of the day. It is estimated that the temperature is almost minus 40 degrees.

The two brothers ran for a few miles on the empty street. The sky was bright and the body was a lot warmer.

Boom, there was a neat running sound behind him, Liu Qingshan turned around to look, and immediately came a neat greeting: Mr. Liu early!

It turned out that they were all the veterans of the company. Under the leadership of Li Tie, Hu Wei and the old monitor, they also practiced in the morning.

Although they left the barracks, they did not throw away their style in the army.

Liu Qingshan and the two also ran together. While running, Liu Qingshan chatted with Hu Wei next to him: Commander Hu, your stomach is swelled, so you need to exercise.

Hu Wei has indeed gained a lot of weight. In the past two years, he has mainly expanded his territory in other places, and has been busy preparing to build an instant noodle branch. Naturally, he cannot avoid eating and drinking with local government officials.

He wasn't as relaxed as Liu Qingshan, but he was running out of breath, like pulling a bellows.

There was also a layer of hoarfrost on the front of the scarf worn on the mouth: Little, little brother, I am sleeping well, Tie Zi has to pull me up.

Old Hu, you should be exercising. Li Tieniu also said in a loud voice.

Hu Wei also nodded vigorously: This, I don't usually think about it, but when I compare it with everyone, I can see the difference.

Although he ran hard, his willpower was still very firm, and he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

The people who came out of the army were much more resilient than ordinary people.

Liu Qingshan patted Hu Wei on the shoulder and said nothing.

After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock, and the group went to Jiangshang for winter capture.

The fourth and fifth were all dressed like cotton buns, and ran in front of them happily. The younger fourth accidentally slipped and didn't get up for a long time, because the clothes were too thick.

The surface of the river is not the flat river that people imagined, but there are ice ridges distributed one by one. This is because the river water is not frozen all at once.

At this moment, Jiang Shuichang led the fishing team and was already waiting on the river.

In addition to a horse sledge, they also drove two jeeps, because the place where they fished was also six or seven miles away.

However, everyone was not busy getting on the bus. They walked on the ice for a distance before taking the transportation.

There were a lot of people coming, and the car couldn't be squeezed in. The remaining few followed behind the car, dragging the jeep, and the soles of their shoes slipped on the ice.

Anyway, the speed is not fast, it is a slippery.

After walking out for a few miles, there were gradually fishermen on the river, some pulling sledges, and some driving carriages.

The horses here have their palms hanging under their hooves, and the horseshoes are nailed with horseshoe nails, so that there is no slippage on the ice.

When Jiang Shuichang and the others were fishing, they saw a lot of branches sticking on the river surface, and some cloth strips were tied on it, fluttering with the north wind.

This is an ice hole that has been dug a long time ago, and it is completely opened up with a few stabs with an ice shovel.

Otherwise, if the ice hole is used every day, it can exhaust people to death.

A mark on the top is also to prevent someone from accidentally falling into it.

Jiang Shuichang led Wang Yufeng and they started to drop the net. The river below is flowing, so the main thing is to hang the net.

The ice here is too thick, so it is very difficult to thread the net under the water.

It was freezing cold, and working on the ice was really hard work.

Maybe it was time to say goodbye to the life of the fishing team. People like Wang Yufeng worked extra hard today.

While they were proficient at netting, they roared from time to time.

Listening to the songs they sang, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but want to laugh. What's wrong with singing, he had to sing A Fire in Winter.

Sing, just sing, anyway, it's okay to scream now.

On the contrary, Jiang Shuichang sang the fisherman's song of his hometown, and the melody was very melodious:

The Wusuli River is long and long, the blue water is waving, the Hezhe people cast a thousand nets, and the boats are full of fish and fish...

It is this icy world, a little out of place.

However, it is true that the warehouse is full of fish. When the net is raised, the fish that hang up, big and small, packed in several sacks, have a bigger harvest than usual.

Boss, today we will grill the fish on the ice! Jiang Shuichang had already packed up a few big fish, split them into two pieces, and put them on the iron drill.

Wang Yufeng and the others lit the charcoal and the wooden stalks they brought, and started grilling the fish.

It seems that they are already prepared and asked everyone to taste something fresh.

There was a fire on the ice, and everyone gathered around to keep warm.

Don't say it, it's a bit of a feeling of ice and fire.

Because the heat is rising, the ice surface below has nothing to do with it, and it has not been baked.

Jiang Shuichang seemed to be really an expert at grilling fish. After both sides of the fish were slightly browned, he began to apply oil to the surface.

That's right, wiping it. All he brought was solidified lard oil. With the heat on the fish, it was coated with a light touch.

Then he lightly sprinkled the salt noodles he brought on top and continued to bake.

This time, a scent spread out on the ice surface, seducing everyone to sniff.

Jiang Shuichang smeared oil three times and sprinkled salt twice, the fish was cooked, the surface was golden brown, and he had an appetite when he looked at it.

Come on, try it! Jiang Shuichang handed over half a grilled fish to the fourth and fifth, and the two little guys ripped the fish to eat.

Wow, it's really fragrant! The little old man praised, his big eyes sparkling.

Maybe it's a different feeling to eat hot and fragrant grilled fish in this icy world.

As for Wang Yufeng and the others, they took out a few bottles of Laobaigan from their coat pockets, bit off the caps, and handed them to everyone.

There is no cup, two or three people have a bottle, just blow it to the mouth, and no one should dislike anyone.

Eating grilled fish and drinking small wine, everyone felt the same in their hearts: Beautiful!

Actually, our fishing life is pretty good, and we will miss these days if we don't keep it together in the future.

Wang Yufeng also took a sip of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Liu Qingshan smiled: It's actually quite good to start a new life.

When they returned with a full load, the market on the other side of the big island was just ending. Hundreds of people took various means of transportation and walked back with big bags and small packages. This scene is really spectacular.

Brother, let's go to the market tomorrow too! The fourth youngest thought that when he came here before, he had changed a lot of dolls in the trading shed on the island.

Shan Xing also lit her little head: It would be even better if we could go to the opposite cloth market to have a look.

Liu Qingshan immediately waved his hand: let's forget it, he doesn't want to go to the cloth market now, it's still too messy and not safe.

When he returned to the station, Hou San told Liu Qingshan: The people of the Black Bear Gang have been notified, and if there is no accident, Medovitch will definitely come over tomorrow.

Then Hou San went to the hotel for dinner. Everyone just ate a lot of grilled fish, and they weren't hungry, so they shouted to go to Hou San's new house to have a look.

So Hou San led the group to the warehouse. His new house was not far in front of the warehouse. There were two rows of newly built bungalows. It was the accommodation area for the employees of Longteng Company, which was just completed last fall.

There are nearly 20 rooms in a row of this kind of ridge, and the houses are all connected, making it easy to move around, and the most important thing is that it is relatively safe.

Generally, there are families who live in one room, and bachelors who don’t have a family live in one room. There are more than 100 employees in Longteng Company, all of whom live here.

Hou San's new house had already been neatly packed, including the furniture and furnishings in the house, and it even had a large color TV.

Everyone was very satisfied after seeing it, and they were waiting to marry the new daughter-in-law.

Liu Qingshan suddenly remembered a stubborn question: By the way, Brother Hou, have you and Anna registered? Do you have a household registration in this situation?

Hou San was stunned for a moment: I really forgot about this!
