Eighty Little Spicy Daughter-in-law: My boss has a gold mine

Chapter 380 The Ancestral Goldsmithing Skill

The small cloth bag that Du Fengsheng gave to Du Yuemei contained money, which he had saved over the years.

"Father..." Du Yuemei choked up.

Du Fengsheng patted her on the shoulder weakly, "Girl, it's a good thing that father is leaving, and I'm sorry for your mother for doing something wrong... I'll be relieved when I leave!"

Du Fengsheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and tremblingly took out a broken notebook, a black stone, and a bunch of gold bars strung together like keys, and handed them to Wu Guangcheng, "This is my family's way of making gold, you I've put it away... and the touchstone and the gold medal are all given to you..."

Wu Guangcheng took it with both hands. Although he thought Du Fengsheng was a bit yin and yang before, he was very patient when teaching him, as if he wanted to pour everything to him at once.

"Thank you... Master!"

Du Fengsheng smiled, "Okay! I have a successor before I leave... Let's talk about it! How to use this thing, let your brother teach you!"

Du Fengsheng panted for a long time and took out a small red cloth bag from his arms. Inside was the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, "Guangxu, this is a piece of uncut jade that your grandfather gave me when I married your Grandma Du... I carved it into a jade pendant..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Guangxu, and added, "No one has worn this before...Leaving it to you now...It can be regarded as returning to the original owner..."

He put the jade pendant in Wu Guangxu's hand, and Wu Guangxu pushed it back, "Grandpa Du, since this is a gift from Grandpa, it is yours..."

"Keep it. In fact, I know that your grandpa wanted to give this to your grandma back then. When he came to me, I happened to be getting married, so he gave this to me..."

Du Fengsheng bent Wu Guangxu's hands and wrapped them around the pair of jade pendants, as if he had confessed everything, his eyes became cloudy and lifeless, "Guangxu, I just ask you one thing... If I'm not here, your Aunt Mei If there's anything you can help with..."

Wu Guangxu looked into his eyes, with a prayer in his heart. Du Yuemei's parents are gone now, and she has no brothers or sisters. If her husband's family treats her well, it's fine. If it's not good, she will definitely be bullied if she doesn't have a mother's family to help her.

Wu Guangxu nodded, "Grandpa Du, don't worry, I will!"

Du Yuemei had tears in her eyes, "Father, don't talk about these things, just take a good rest!"

Du Fengsheng smiled at her, "Yuemei, put the clothes on for dad!"

Next to it was the shroud he had prepared a long time ago. Liu Yueya walked out of the house and waited. Wu Guangcheng and Wu Guangxu stepped forward to help Du Fengsheng change into his clothes.

After Wu Guangxu changed his clothes, he realized that Du Fengsheng had closed his eyes at some point.

"Father!" Du Yuemei threw herself on Du Fengsheng and cried.

Wu Guangxu patted Du Yuemei on the shoulder, "Aunt Mei, please mourn..."

According to the old habit in the village, people have to stop for three or seven days when they go, but now that the weather is getting hot, let alone seven days, the smell will come out in three days.

Du Yuemei went back to the neighboring village to invite her husband and her children to watch for Du Fengsheng for a day.

Not many people came to worship in the village. After all, Du Fengsheng had little contact with other people before, so brothers Wu Dayong and Wu Dazhi naturally wanted to come to worship and offer incense.

The burial was also very simple. The strong laborers of the village were recruited, and the coffin was carried up the mountain to be buried with Du Yuemei's mother.

At the time of the burial, Wu Guangxu asked Du Yuemei to buy a lot of "dog head gold" and sprinkle it in the coffin, that is, gold ingots folded from gold paper, also known as "dog head gold".

At the same time, a thousand "gold ingots" were burned for him at the foot of the mountain.

From what Du Fengsheng said before he died, he probably understood that, just as he and his wife guessed, Du Fengsheng wanted to pay off his "debt". Superstitious or not, this was also an obsession of his during his lifetime.

There is no way to bury the real Goutoujin with him, but it is still possible to burn some origami.

As for the words he said before his death, when a person is about to die, his words are good, so it doesn't matter if they are true or false.

Wu Guangcheng took the touchstone and asked Wu Guangxu to teach him.

Wu Guangxu wiped the touchstone clean, and found several golds of different colors at home for him to experiment with.

Take gold of different colors and draw them on the touchstone one by one, each color has a slight difference in the color drawn.

"Look at the color flat, look at the light at the side!" Wu Guangxu held the touchstone and shook it against the light, "Seven green, eight yellow, nine purple, ten red...do you see this one? The color is yellowish, and the gold content is about [-]% , the color of this one is cyan, and the gold content is about [-]%..."

Wu Guangxu took the pair gold medal again, and it is easier to use the pair gold medal, just take the gold in his hand and compare it with the pair gold medal one by one.

Each pair of gold medals is marked with the corresponding gold content. The gold color is the same as which pair of gold medals, and the gold content is corresponding.

In the old days, pawnbrokers or gold collectors used this method to distinguish the fineness of gold.

"Brother, wouldn't it be more useful to give you this thing?" Wu Guangcheng felt that it was a waste to put this touchstone and the gold medal on him.

He has no gold to discern.

Wu Guangxu shook his head, pointed to his eyes, "I don't need this, I can see!"

Wu Guangcheng: "..."

This sentence is absolutely naked to show off!

They are all from the Wu family, so how can talent be inherited by one person!

That's not right, that kid Wu Guangyang is not low in talent in this area.

Wu Guangxu patted him on the shoulder, "Think carefully about the craft of gold-making, and you will definitely use it in the future. Take a good look at the book on gold-making!"

Wu Guangcheng and Du Fengsheng have only studied for a few months, and they are still far behind. In those days, Du Fengsheng's ancestors were goldsmiths in the palace, and this craft was passed down from generation to generation!

That book is not only the hand-painted gold jewelry styles, but also the techniques of goldsmithing and inlaying, which can be said to be the technical inheritance of several generations of the Du family.

So Wu Guangcheng called "Master" not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money!

There is also the set of tools for making gold that Du Fengsheng left to Wu Guangcheng, which cannot be bought even if you have money.

Although the pair of jade pendants are high-quality jade ice species, they are dead objects in a sense, and the technology can continue to increase in value.

"You must learn this set of goldsmithing skills. You can practice with my gold here. Maybe our country will allow private gold shops sometime. Then you will be able to use your skills!"

Wu Guangcheng smiled a little foolishly, "Okay, I'll practice hard!"

Compared with Jin's way of looking at the golden veins, he feels more interested in this gold-making jewelry. At least he feels that he is more talented in this area than in looking at the golden veins.

He knew what Du Fengsheng taught at a glance, but he couldn't understand what Wu Guangxu taught.
