"What are you doing? Are you rebelling? Your legs are broken. Go away."

The little black dog ran back and put the stone in his mouth again, brought it to him, and spit it into his bucket.

A plop also caught his attention.

"You just bring back whatever is dirty and smelly. What are you bringing the rocks for? There are a lot of pebbles on this beach."

As he spoke, he took out the stones from the bucket and threw them away without looking at them. Unexpectedly, Xiaohua and Xiaohei ran over and picked them up again, and continued to spit them into the bucket.

"Is this the end of it for you? You want seafood, but rocks are useless and cannot be eaten. Do you understand? Silly dogs! Hurry up and work. If you don't work, you won't have food for lunch."

Ye Yaodong kicked the dogs twice to tell them to work quickly, but he did not immediately take out the stones they threw into the bucket and throw them away. Seeing if they liked it, he would pick them back and throw them to their dogs later.

nest.

I’ve only heard that dragons like gold and silver jewelry, and dragons’ nests are full of them, but I’ve never heard that dogs like pebbles?

After mentally cursing for a moment, he moved on to find his wife and children.

The four or five dogs at their feet followed immediately, and two dogs were surrounding Ah Qing and the others, being directed by Ye Xiaoxi to dig holes.

"Bigger, bigger~"

Pei Yu also repeated Ye Xiaoxi's words, "Big~"

She is now a qualified follower and repeater.

No matter what Ye Xiaoxi did, she would follow him and imitate him. Whatever he said, she would repeat it again.

"How much have you dug?"

"Just after arriving, these two saw the sand and didn't move away for a long time. They were walking slowly."

Ye Yaodong looked at the few scattered ones in her bucket and said with disdain: "This job depends on me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dog dug out a clam nearby. However, it did not take it directly into the bucket, but spit it out in front of Ye Xiaoxi, which surprised her.

"Quack~ There is quack~ Mom, there is quack~"

Sand clams are called quacks in children's mouths.

"Put it in the bucket."

She put it into the bucket that Ye Yaodong brought over. Seeing that there were other messy things in it, she curiously reached in and touched it.

"Stone?"

Ye Yaodong turned around and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Stone? In a bucket?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at his surprised look and snatched the stone she was holding, not knowing why.

Lin Xiuqing turned around and glanced, not paying attention, and continued digging until she heard him muttering, "Fossilized snail?"

She then turned her head again, "What is Luo Fossil?"

"This seems to be a fossilized snail! The snail of a conch, a fossilized snail."

He looked back and forth at the patterns on it with some uncertainty, and then took it to the sun to take a picture.

"What is a snail fossil?"

"This should be a snail fossil."

Ye Yaodong glanced at her and explained: "This snail fossil is somewhat similar to a gambling stone. This is a conch fossil. Uncut conch fossils are cheaper. After being cut, the price can be negotiated based on the quality inside. Some are cut into pieces.

The price can increase dozens of times, which is very similar to gambling on stones."

"It's just that this conch fossil is relatively rare. Most people will not take it seriously if they see it. They may just think it is more beautiful. Only people who know it will know about it."

"So what are you using this for?" Lin Xiuqing didn't understand what he meant. She didn't understand what he meant by betting on stones.

"Can this stone be cut open?"

"Yes, you need to use tools."

Snail fossils refer to snails or shellfish that have gradually formed a hard shell after a long period of evolution.

These shellfish were buried during the movement of the earth's crust and were subjected to high temperatures and high pressures, eventually forming this beautiful snail fossil. The snail fossil has rich and diverse textures and different shapes. Each piece is unique, and there may also be crystals inside.

stone.

Even if there is no crystal, the conch fossil will be very valuable if you carve it casually, because it can be carved into conch dzi beads.

This snail jade is about the size of a baby's fist. The texture on it looks very unique, as if there are various shells growing on it, but it is extremely smooth to the touch.

Conch fossils are first formed into fossils, and then may be jadeized, eventually forming a rare gemstone.

The piece he had on hand looked like it was just a snail fossil, not a snail jade. If it were a snail jade, it would be rare.

However, it cannot be concluded that there are no crystals in this snail fossil, but he does not have the tools to open it.

Lin Xiuqing watched him touch around, but she still didn't understand what this stone could be used for. Wasn't it just that the texture was different from ordinary pebbles?

Ordinary pebbles have a smooth surface. At most, the colors on the stones are different. The stone in his hand looks like it has various conch-shaped patterns. It is quite strange, but I don't think it is very pretty.

After all, it was also dusty.

"So what do you use this stone for?"

"Take it home and collect it."

"Collection is a ghost. I still have a bunch of broken corals at home that you insist on leaving behind. Now I want to pick up this stone again."

"It's useful, but it's hard to judge now. Anyway, take it back first, it's not like there's no place to put it."

"The drawers are full, where is there room to put things?"

"Let me tell you, this stone can be used to carve Faluo Dzi beads even if there are no crystals in it. This stone can be used to carve many Faluo Dzi beads."

Lin Xiuqing was confused, not knowing what the Falun Dzi Pearl he was talking about was.

Ye Yaodong also felt that he was playing the piano to a cow.

"Forget it, I tell you, you don't know. Just put it away first and put it with those small corals."

"Are the beads you mentioned valuable? Can they be carved directly from this stone? Can they also be carved from stone?"

"Yes, yes, I told you that you didn't know, so you still want to ask? This is not an ordinary stone, this is a snail fossil. It is a fossil that evolved from a shell. It takes many, many, many years to form."

Snail fossils can be carved into Dharma snail beads, which are Buddhist jewelry and are most popular among Buddhists, especially Tibetan people.

In Buddhism, the conch is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness and is believed to bring good luck and blessings. Therefore, the conch has become a treasure in the hearts of believers.

Now, people all over the country have just gotten rid of food and clothing, and have not yet pursued higher spiritual needs. Of course, this thing can only be kept in hand as a collection.

So he wasn't too excited when he saw it at first. After all, he couldn't sell it at a high price and he couldn't open the stone.

However, the texture on this stone is extremely dense. Generally, each texture on this stone has a different shape and is unique. It cannot be found exactly the same. It is rare and cannot be copied. The denser the snails are, the more precious they are.

The one I have on hand doesn't look like a bargain.

He had misjudged his vision earlier. Under the sunlight, the inside of the bucket looked darker. He thought it was a stone, so he took it out and threw it away without even looking at it. Fortunately, the two dogs were smart and picked it up.

"So how much would this rock cost?"

"I don't know, I can't sell it for money now."

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes, "Looking at how rare you said it was, I thought it was worth hundreds or thousands of dollars."

"Then there will definitely be some in the future."

"Believe me, it's just a stone."

Ye Yaodong ignored her and waved to the two dogs, "Xiao Hua Xiao Hei, you two, come here."

Two dogs that were digging a hole immediately ran over. One dog touched his chin, and the other dog touched his head.

"I'll give you extra food tonight."

"Woof woof woof~" the two dogs barked together, sticking out their tongues after barking.

"How did you find this stone? Where did you find it?"

The spotted dog immediately lowered its head and held the corner of his clothes in its mouth to pull him away. He stood up and prepared to follow the dog to see where he found it and see if there was anything else.

Lin Xiuqing watched him come and leave shortly after, and quickly shouted, "Where are you going?"

"Look for rocks."

"I'm full after eating."

It’s too late, I’ll add another one later
