Pixiu Rearing Guide

"It's okay, we can go down to the mine to have a look first." Du Ziyu had already finished his lunch while speaking, and stood up to go to the mine again with Shen Shi: "Boss Qin, don't follow along, just let the foreman take us down. "

Du Ziyu followed Qin Muzhi back to the rest area. It was already noon, and the miners set up stoves outside the tent to cook.Du Ziyu followed Qin Muzhi into a tent, the floor was covered with wool felt blankets, and several Kazakhs were sitting around passing naan bread. Seeing Qin Muzhi coming in, the Kazakh old man patted a few hairy boys, and the boys gnawed on it. Roasted Naan got out of the tent, which made room for Qin Muzhi and the others.

Qin Muzhi made a simple salute, and called Du Ziyu and Shen Shi to sit down: "This is Kenhan, our master jade picker." He said, took the cowhide water bag handed over by the old man, poured wine for Du Ziyu and the others, At the same time, he recommended: "Kenhan, this is what I mentioned to you, the expert in identifying jadeite."

"Don't dare." Du Ziyu waved his hand with a smile, took the baked naan from the old man, and took a bite: "Let's talk about how we discovered the emerald mine?"

The old man nodded, took out a rock from a leather box behind him, and handed it to Du Ziyu: "This, last week, the one dug out of the mine is not jade."

Du Ziyu took the stone and glanced at it hastily, then concluded: "Emerald is green, but the water head is not good, and the crystal particles are coarse." He said, handing the stone to Shen Shi, and turning to Qin Muzhi: "Accordingly, emerald is produced from low-temperature and high-pressure At the junction of the plates, only the Yarlung Zangbo River has the conditions to produce jadeite in China, and no jadeite mines have been found.” The implication is that the discovery of jadeite mines in Yili is really weird.

"But Kazakhstan produces jadeite." Qin Muzhi reminded: "This borders Kazakhstan, maybe it is the rough stone brought by the river?"

Du Ziyu shook his head: "Kazakhstan's emerald production area is in the Balkhash Lake Basin. This lake is an inland lake in Kazakhstan. The melted ice and snow water from the Tianshan Mountains flows through the Ili River and flows into this lake. We are its upstream." He As he said that, his expression became subtle: "Even if the river washes over, it should be the stone that washes from us to Kazakhstan, not the other way around."

"You mean...there may not be an emerald mine if you dig out the emerald?" Qin Muzhi's face darkened, although Du Ziyu's words were not pleasant, he still chose to respect: "Let's take a look at the mine first, and then we will make a conclusion! "As he said, he looked at the old man Kenhan: "How long will it take to repair the landslide?"

"The rock mass of the Emerald Mine is very loose and needs to be strengthened first," the old master stumbled and said in Chinese: "Now it is grouting, and it will take two days of work."

"Then go to the mine in two days?" Qin Muzhi turned his head to ask Du Ziyu's opinion, seeing the latter nodding, he continued: "We have two friends who just arrived in these two days, one is engaged in geological research, and There is one who is very good at mining emeralds, and I will recommend them to you one by one when everyone is gathered."

Qin Muzhi carried half of the Qinchuan Group on his shoulders. Even if he came to Xinjiang, he was still busy. On the way back to the village, his phone was never disconnected.On the contrary, Du Ziyu was like a carefree person, looking at the mountains and the wind blowing the grass low, he let go of his whole being.

"Mr. Du." Qin Muzhi finally finished the boring business phone call. Du Ziyu turned his head in response and met this man with apologetic eyes: "I'm going to Urumqi to meet a friend, and I'm afraid I'm leaving tonight. If you want, Can I arrange someone to take you there for two days?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother you, so I'll wait for you in this small village." Du Ziyu waved his hand and declined. At this time, the jeep had already driven into the village. There were not many outsiders in this small place all year round. The sound of motor vehicles annoyed the sheep. The group bleated, Du Ziyu saw the fluffy white balls crowded together in panic, and laughed: "I quite like this."

There were several barks of dogs in the distance, mixed with whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrer, he immediately looked at Shen Shi, who moved his ears and said, "Little Wolf knows we are back."

"Then I'll get off here." The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village, and there were already other off-road vehicles waiting there. Qin Muzhi smiled and said goodbye to Du Ziyu and the others: "The temperature difference between day and night is very big in this place, so add an extra quilt at night. Especially It's you, Mr. Du, don't catch a cold in your calf."

"Understood, thank you." Du Ziyu also smiled, speaking quickly, and said, "No wonder I call you 'Papa Qin'..." blurted out, Du Ziyu felt a little regretful for not being seen, but Qin Muzhi was gentle. The smile kept the distance between the two of them in vain.

"Papa Qin?" He held back a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Shi Lai said that?"

"Say, his father never nags him like you do." Du Ziyu explained: "How about it, being a friend who came over from time to time, is it quite worrying?"

Qin Muzhi was silent for a while, as if he had really thought about this issue carefully, he opened the car door and sighed helplessly: "It's okay, I'm just a person who loves to worry."

Watching Qin Muzhi hurriedly get into another car, Du Ziyu raised his eyebrows, and casually muttered to Shen Shi: "I think Shi Lai is a good match for Qin's father?"

Shen Shi was playing with a jade pebble in his hand, and he didn't know when he picked it up, so he hummed perfunctorily.

The food at night is still baked naan, mutton, and kumiss. The ewes of the herdsmen’s family have just given birth to lambs, and they also squeeze into the felt room with the whole family, lying peacefully on the ground, and feeding a litter of lambs. The little one couldn't squeeze the older brothers and sisters, so the old Kazakh grandmother picked up the little one and fed it with a milk bottle. The lamb made a patter sucking sound and kicked its legs happily.

Du Ziyu felt that he was smelly from the smoke, so he burped without eating much. Shen Shi naturally reached out to rub his stomach. Du Ziyu heard the little son of a herdsman next to him laughing at him, and stared at him feigning anger , took Shen Shi's hand and said that he wanted to go out for a walk.

The wind outside was chilly, and Du Ziyu shivered, just as the herdsman's wife chased him out and gave him and Shen Shi a woolen blanket. He asked casually, "What is this for?"

"You Han people like our jade." The sister-in-law pinched the jade badge worn around her neck and explained: "But the white ones are not as profitable as the ones with red patterns. Ba Rener is cutting open the leg meat of an old sheep and taking this kind of jade. Put the worthless white jade in, and then sew it up. After a few years, the old sheep died, and the jade was taken out, and it became..." The herdsman's wife pointed to the blood jade wrench on Shen Shi's thumb: "This color Jade made from jade is easier to sell.”

"Sheep are timid and afraid of blood, so Ba Rener can only work at night." The sister-in-law smiled and told Du Ziyu that they sold such a piece of blood jade last month, and they will have a good year this year.As soon as Du Ziyu heard the price, he knew that the price was lowered by the jade dealer, so he sold it as natural blood jade, and the price doubled or tripled immediately.

"Sister-in-law, if you sell this kind of jade to me again, I promise to give you a good price." Du Ziyu confirmed with the herdsman's sister-in-law several times before returning to his felt room in peace.

"Shen Shi, do you think there is really emerald in that mine?" Du Ziyu took out a handful of silver beads to feed the little wolf, and Du Ziyu casually chatted about the emerald mine.

"It does smell of emerald in there." Shen Shi nodded, but denied it: "But the rough stone we saw at noon is not emerald. The taste is very similar, but it's not."

"Isn't it jade?!" Du Ziyu was stunned, he had no doubts about Shen Shi's judgment, and immediately recalled the cross section of the stone he saw: "But it looks exactly the same as jadeite, but the water is a bit worse... ..."

"I'll find out when I get out of the mine in two days." After all, Shen Shi didn't care much about these jade treasures. What he cared more about was that it was time for Du Ziyu to sleep.He stripped himself off neatly, lay down and waited. Du Ziyu glanced at him, smiled helplessly, took off his coat and went to bed.

Shen Shi naturally wrapped them in his arms, wrapped them in two layers of blankets, heard the sudden wind blowing outside, whispered to Du Ziyu's ear, and said "good night" to him.

Du Ziyu hummed, and leaned closer to Shen Shi to smell the clean smell on his body, but the mutton smell on his body still couldn't cover it, he frowned, and rubbed his nose uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Shen Shi asked him softly.

"I want to take a bath," Du Ziyu muttered, "I smell disgusting..."

"Sao?" Shen Shi didn't seem to understand the word, so he deliberately sniffed Du Ziyu's neck: "What's that smell?"

Du Ziyu didn't think anything at all, but when asked by this kid, he couldn't help blushing, so he said in a muffled voice, "You don't understand."

"It's sweet on you." Shen Shi also gave up trying to understand the so-called "sao", and rubbed the tip of his nose behind Du Ziyu's ear, speaking briskly and contentedly.

"Stupid stone, what stupid things are you talking about... I'm asleep." Du Ziyu muttered, but he really didn't feel sleepy, so he could only lean against Shen Shi's arms, fingers boredly clung to his strong shoulders, and rubbed his fingertips on the tattoo on his shoulders Rub away.

Shen Shi let him make trouble for a while, then suddenly grabbed his wrist, pulled his hand to his mouth, and kissed him.Du Ziyu clearly felt that where the two of them were close together, someone's organ "squeezed through the boundary".

"You boy... what did I do?!" Du Ziyu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"..." Pixiu, who was forced to abstain from sex, seemed to be more aggrieved than him, and gnawed on Du Ziyu's fingertips in displeasure.

At this time, the lightning flashed outside, the thunder rolled, and it began to rain.The damp atmosphere slowly spread in the room, but it was warm and dry under the woolen blanket. On such a rainy night, the embrace of the lover was more like a harbor.

Just when Du Ziyu was hesitating whether to do "daily maintenance" for his harbor, there was a sudden sound of running outside, and then he heard someone yelling something in Kazakh, so he couldn't lie down anymore, and immediately Get up to see what's going on.Du Ziyu pushed open the door, and was blown back a step by the strong wind outside. The big raindrops hit his face with crackling. He wiped his face, and saw that a piece of the fence of the sheepfold in the yard was missing, and the flock of sheep was going out in fright. Run, the herdsman Amir and his eldest son were driving the flock back in the rain, and the border shepherd at home also chased it out, running around the flock and helping the owner drive it back.

Du Ziyu stood in a daze, when suddenly a ball of fluff rubbed against his feet, and when he lowered his head, the little wolf had already rushed out, howling and running towards the flock, he didn't know whether he wanted to help or make trouble, when the flock suddenly rushed into A wolf, even if this wolf is not wild at all, and is still chubby, the flock of sheep who are naturally afraid of wolves immediately panicked and ran around in a panic. Du Ziyu frowned, put on his coat and called the little wolf to chase him out, but found The pup ran farther and farther through the flock.

Du Ziyu chased after a few steps, his injured calf began to cramp due to the cold, he frowned and stopped, at this moment Shen Shi led a horse over: "I'll go after it."

"I'll go too." Without saying a word, Du Ziyu followed Shen Shi to get on the horse. There were three horses in the herdsman's house, two of which were ridden by Amir and the eldest son to drive the sheep. Theirs was a pony, and the two of them caught up with the front one. Amir, I heard Amir shout: "There are more than a dozen sheep missing, they ran away!"

"Let's go after the sheep." Du Ziyu yelled back, before Amir could respond, Shen Shi whispered in his ear, "The little wolf is going after the sheep." Shen Shi wrinkled his nose and knew which way to go. direction to chase.He clamped his legs, as if he knew how to ride a horse by nature, Du Ziyu immediately hugged Shen Shi tightly, and the two rode their horses towards the dark pasture outside the village.
