Chapter 349 Xiaoxi's First Day

Liu Yuxi has a song "Langtaosha" - the river in Chengzhou is filled with fog in the sun, and the waves are full of golden female companions. The beauty jewelry and seals of the king are all from the bottom of the sea in the sand.

In the morning, I came to the riverside and looked up. I was covered with hazy mist everywhere. After a while, the sun came out and the mist dissipated. I saw that the riverside was full of women rushing gold.

In ancient times, gold digging was extremely difficult. Gold diggers first had to mine sand, and then put it into wooden cleaning tools bit by bit to wash. Taking advantage of the significant proportion of gold, water can wash away the mud and sand, leaving behind gold shavings. These golds are often only the size of needle tips or brans, and they are not often available.

If we rely solely on God's gift, foreman Huang is not enough to support more and more workers. Now they have begun to attack the stones on the mountains. The Yellow River and Huangsha don't know what to use to judge that those things contain gold ore. Now everyone likes to call them golden fingers.

For those large gold-bearing stones, they used the method of burning holes to refine gold: that is, burning ore with burning wood, using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, burning for seventy hours. Then pouring cold water, the ore will expand, shrink, explode and break.

There are now huge stone mills next to the huge water wheel. The stone mill is connected to the water wheel with huge wood or bamboo. When the water wheel brings the water next to it, the power provided by the water wheel will cause the huge millstone to grind the broken gold-containing stones into golden sand powder as thick as corn flour, and then use the water brought by the water wheel to pull it off, completing a huge project.

The manpower that originally went to pull the golden sand was now liberated. At the mouth of the stone mill, three stair-shaped parallel slopes have formed. Each slope is almost as big as half a basketball court. The clean water brought by the water truck can be used to clean the golden sand. As long as the speed of the water is controlled, the speed of the golden sand is more than several times faster than before. Foreman Huang is now respected by everyone as "Huang Siye". There were Huangshan, Huanghe, and Huangsha, and now it is rich in gold, referred to as Sihuang for short. Sihuang Master Siye heard the twists and turns, so everyone unanimously called Huang Siye Master Huang. Old Huangtou is the second oldest, why is he also called Lao Siye? Seeing the Yellow River, Huangsha worked together to create this water truck and water mill, Lao Huangtou was willing to stay below the two. As for gold, it was grandfather everywhere. Finally, Lao Huangtou had such a title of "Huang Siye".

You should know that Huangsha only remembers that in history, he dared to call himself the Fourth Master. Huangsha only remembers that there was one person in the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, the fifth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the third emperor after entering the pass, and the fourth son of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty, the fourth son of Emperor Yongzheng, the Qing Dynasty. Huangsha naturally won’t tell them the allusions here. After all, after so many years, it is hard to say whether his appearance will be in that dynasty. Even if there is, when the real Master Huang is born, he can do what the old Huangtou can do. At worst, he will burn books and bury scholars again, borrow your name and slap you in the face. These things have been passed down by those who are good at making trouble in the form of unofficial history. Emperor Yongzheng even left the name of impersonating old friends. No matter how this transaction is considered, it is cost-effective for old Huangtou.

A thin woman, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen, got up at bed at dawn. She almost searched everywhere she lived, but couldn't find the utensils used to be used for gold digging. In the end, she had no choice but to take a porcelain bowl for eating and hurried to the place where she lalishui Jinsha.

When the woman came yesterday evening, she saw most men picking up the sand on the third step of the ladder, and she took this place for granted as a place where she had to start working today.

The autumn water now seems to be cooler than before, but for her who is used to all this, it is nothing. When she saw that there was almost no one on such a large step, she couldn't help but shivered. Looking at the next squad, there were already a group of people, and the workers were working very enthusiastically in the water. She thought to herself, she didn't know what Master Huang was thinking. If she didn't hurry up, these people would probably have a problem with their meals.

Just as she had rolled up her trouser legs and was about to take her porcelain bowl into the water, a man behind her grabbed her.

She looked back and was still attracted by the breath emitted by the man's whole body. He seemed to be dirty than every man he had seen yesterday. Even the calves were stained with dry mud. She actually had the urge to help him get a basin of foot wash water and wash the mud on his legs. Seeing the smile that the man threw, she blushed for no reason.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that the rule of Mr. Huang's Fourth is that you are not allowed to go to work before 10 o'clock in the morning?"

"I just saw it." The woman was named Xiaoxi. At this time, she was in front of this person and was speechless in her throat. She thought to herself: Oh my God, as before, they almost got up before dawn. Judging from the time they finished work at night, the time when Mr. Huang went to work here was completely the opposite of the place she had been in the past. In the past, they slept for 2-3 hours a day, and the rest of the time except for eating was almost always in the water. According to this man, for Mr. Huang, the time he stayed in the water every day was only pitiful 2-3 hours, and the rest of the time was used to sleep. This required the fat and lazy people. She felt dizzy when she remembered.

Xiaoxi seemed unable to stand the practice of sitting and waiting for death, and she actually cried aggrievedly, making the man inexplicable moments.

"I don't want to wait like you guys for the end of the month and can't even have a bite of food, woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-

The man seemed to understand what was going on, but he actually laughed in front of the woman, making Xiaoxi even more aggrieved and cried louder for a moment.

"Pick up your bowl, scoop a bowl of sand into the water and have a look." After the man finished speaking, Xiaoxi almost couldn't refuse. She was about to go into the water. When she heard that the man seemed not to stop her from going into the water, she burst into tears and laughed. She even stuck out her tongue and made a face at the man.

Xiaoxi almost scooped up a full bowl of mud and sand, but the amount almost made the porcelain bowl that Xiaoxi held one hand out of his hand. Although it had only been half a year, she could still distinguish the weight of the golden sand and the mixed soil. She was at a loss by the scene that made her unbelievable, and stood there for several seconds.

"Is this?" Xiaoxi asked almost trepidatedly.

"Jinsha." When the man said this sentence in a nearly sarcastic tone, Xiaoxi almost fainted, but the tone of the man did not allow her to question it at all. She seemed to have figured out why Master Huang was working so late. It seemed that everything had been completed in advance. They were just responsible for picking up gold, and indeed they were here to pick up gold.

"My name is Xiaoxi, you are." When Xiaoxi asked this, her chin was almost pressed against her neck.
