Spirit Stone Hunter

Strange to say, when the two little guys saw each other, they immediately stopped crying. This made the adults marvel, and they had to admit that the two little guys really cried because they were separated from each other.

Quickly put the two little ancestors to sleep.Nurse Wang and Aunt Liu fell asleep in the baby room.In the living room, Zhan Jiu, Ma Xiaotian, Huo Congting and Ying Feng sat on the sofa and didn't speak for a while.I was really speechless by the two children.

In the end, it was Ma Xiaotian who spoke first: "Otherwise...you two can move here too."

Ying Feng nodded: "That's the only way. Otherwise, you're busy with the work of the studio every day, and it's not convenient to run back and forth. Anyway, I'm fine."

Zhan Jiu exhaled secretly: "We cleaned up the rooms for you. We can live here for more than a year at most. However, the house on the Hexi side is always left unattended. I will go back to sign a purchase contract in a few days. By the way, go to the property and ask them to check and clean it once a week. Otherwise, brother Ting, you can go back with me, otherwise I can't sign your house. And I have to find a suitable studio address in Hexi. When the time comes The Beijing side will be handled by Bai Sheng, and Xiaotian and I will be in charge of the Hexi side. The main sculptors will go to Hexi. That side will be operated as the main processing factory. We need to find a factory with a reasonable price. You have to bring the kind of dormitory building. It’s not realistic to build it now.”

Huo Congting nodded without hesitation: "Okay. I just happened to go back to school. I promised the school to give me a quota for miners. I have to go and see."

Ma Xiaotian asked: "There are still miners in our school?"

Huo Congting looked at him: "Did you not read the enrollment brochure carefully before going to school?"

Ma Xiaotian nodded frankly: "That's right. I only read the cheapest and easiest basic subjects."

Huo Congting didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "All universities have mining majors. Most of them are Quebec students. Occasionally, there are ordinary people with strong physique. Our school's mining major is well-known all over the country. Otherwise, I can't just agree."

Zhan Jiu was also moved: "Otherwise, I need at least a miner who only contracts with me. If Xiaotian goes to other mining areas to contract ore in the future, he should be more at ease with his own miners. In addition, the studio also needs a simple design. Personnel. The current engraving majors are all machine engraving, and if there are hand-carved ones, they can also be recruited. At present, there are only Teacher Yuan, the three of them and Xiaotian in the studio, which is really not enough."

"That's right. I can't count it in yet. I can at most make some simple carvings and jewelry. I can't handle carving fine patterns on something as hard as jadeite. I didn't expect Bai Sheng to use this method to make people The waste stone is booming so fast. After he sends Ruixue Qingsong to the National Lingshi Museum next week, it is estimated that the jade carvings will be hot again. I am anxious and powerless." Ma Xiaotian became more and more excited when he thought about it, but in the excitement More anxiety.The great "Qian Jing" has a feeling of being poorly grasped, which is really bad.

Ying Feng suggested: "I see that there are some good carvings on the Internet recently. You might as well contact those sellers and ask if they are interested in cooperating with the studio. This is better than looking around. You can also ask Lingshi Market to be familiar with it. The owner of the store will help you find them in the market."

Ma Xiaotian slapped his thigh. "That's right! This is a good idea! Although it may not be feasible, the goal is clear. Xiaofeng, you are so smart!"

It only took half a day to move from the hospital to the studio dormitory.They put their things in the storage bag, went through the discharge procedures, met with the dean, and left completely.

Finally moved to a temporary home completely, Ma Xiaotian also felt a sense of joy of being completely discharged from the hospital.So he decided to make a table of delicious food to celebrate.

The kitchen in the dormitory was specially built by Zhan Jiu, and it has all the appliances in it, which can fully meet all the needs of a small cook.

"This corn is very fragrant. I'll use it to stew with pork ribs and beans later. Then rub the corn kernels to make pork tortillas." Looking at the ingredients bought by Zhan Jiu, Ma Xiaotian calculated that this evening's meal would be all right. do something.

Ying Feng was also helping him in the kitchen, but Huo Congting was called to the central laboratory today, saying that some new discoveries had been made in the artificial spirit stone map, so he lied about going to buy clothes for the two children, and secretly ran to I went for a run outside the city, and by the way, I also hunted a gray-haired rabbit and a long-tailed pheasant for some reason.Anyway, he didn't go there for long, Huo Congting hadn't come back when he came back, Zhan Jiu almost went to the warehouse after buying vegetables.Successfully prevented Zhan Jiu from becoming a secret agent. "It's not cornmeal, why use freshly rubbed corn kernels to make biscuits." After fluffing the chicken feathers, he asked while washing it.

Ma Xiaotian continued to toss and serve these dishes on the table. "It's not the tortilla. It should be a pie. It's stuffed with boiled corn kernels, pork and diced carrots. Wrapped in glutinous rice dough, it's fried out, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's delicious. It's delicious." gone."

"Why have you never done it before?" Ying Feng was curious.

Ma Xiaotian touched his nose.I can't tell him that I ate it in my previous life before my grandparents passed away.But think about it, two lifetimes added together, it has been 40 years. "My parents did it before. Then I lived alone, just enough to eat and drink. How could I think of this."

Ying Feng nodded: "That's right. Then today I have to try the tortillas you made. Sister Wang said that Xiaohui will be able to increase the liquid staple food next month. I think thick corn syrup is pretty good."

Ma Xiaotian agreed with both hands: "I think it's good to make multigrain juice. Hey, I envy Xiaokui who can increase his staple food at such a big age. Xiaojin will drink milk for a long time. But I think the two children are so good, Xiaohui eats In addition, he must be greedy. In the morning, he snatched Xiaohui's bottle of milk to drink. I don't know what's the difference between the two bottles. At this age, he is so domineering." Xiaotian is worried about his son's future personality Silently worried.

But Ying Feng smiled: "You are a worry. It would be great if the little spirits are more lively. Besides, it is right for the Kui people to let the spirits. When they grow up and understand things, teach them the principles of how to behave. .Now you say it and they don't understand."

Ma Xiaotian shook his head: "That's not true. Living habits from childhood are very important."

"Xiaojin is just interested in my Xiaohui's stuff,"

"That's true. But even Xiaohui's can't be like this. I hope that when Xiaohui increases the staple food, he can correct Xiaojin's bad habit."

In the end, Huo Congting found out about Ying Feng sneaking out to hunt.

In fact, there is no need for anyone to tell the truth. After two sips of wine, Ying Feng himself said that he was bald.Huo Congting frowned when he heard it at first, but when he saw Ying Feng's happy smile, his heart ached again.No matter who Xiaofeng is, he is still a queer person after all. Even if he is not capable enough, a reformer who has changed his spiritual power element will still have the nature of a queer person.I want to have a wider space to display my abilities.Ying Feng is no exception.Thinking that since she was pregnant, she has managed Ying Feng so much that she rarely even leaves the house, so it's no wonder that he would sneak out.

Adding a piece of braised rabbit meat into Ying Feng's bowl, Huo Congting looked at him: "Let's hunt together tomorrow."

Only then did Ying Feng realize that he had slipped his tongue just now. "Uh... I'm actually..."

Huo Congting smiled and shook his head: "I know. So I will go with you tomorrow. We haven't hunted together for a long time. Now is the season when the fruits are ripe and the grains are harvested. It's delicious to stew pork ribs with corn beans today, you The place where I took you to pick corn when you were young should still be there, let’s pick some more and save it for the children’s meals.”

Seeing that the senior brother didn't blame himself, Ying Feng smiled: "Okay. I still remember where Xiaotian's favorite wild tomatoes and yellow bell peppers are found."

Seeing the sweet look of the two people opposite, Ma Xiaotian was overwhelmed with envy. "Ninth brother, I also want to play in the wild."

Zhan Jiu couldn't laugh or cry: "Do you want to have a picnic?"

Ma Xiaotian nodded with a smile: "Yes! You really understand me!"

Zhan Jiu gave him a fried chicken cutlet. "You can't hunt, so there's only a picnic left. But it won't work for two days, let's go on the weekend. Let's go to the wild for a while. I can't go to the mine for a while, and I always hold back in the city. It's really uncomfortable. I've been busy with business these past few months, it's exhausting. It's not as easy as being a spirit stone hunter. And every contract is related to so many people and things, and the responsibility is too great."

Huo Congting nodded: "That's not true. I went to the laboratory today, and Master and the others haven't closed their eyes for three days. We haven't been assigned to investigate the case, otherwise we really have no skills."

When it comes to the laboratory, Xiaotian can't control his curiosity. "What's the progress of the experiment? I asked you to go there specially. You are not an expert in this field."

Huo Congting sighed: "Actually, I just asked me to look at some engineering drawings. It's mainly the master's order. There are plenty of engineers who are better than me. The master originally wanted me to take over his class, but I really didn't The way to concentrate on the laboratory like him is to not go home for several years. But I have to talk to him slowly. I am still thinking about it. When the contract with the university laboratory expires, I will stop doing it. Concentrate on business It's better. Originally, I signed the contract with the school and the laboratory to find Xiaofeng."

Zhan Jiu suggested: "Then why don't we start a spirit stone hunting company together? Call some well-informed and skilled quarrymen and miners. I thought about this business before, so I signed a few queermen. I have someone under my command. , It’s much more reassuring than hiring someone else. The key is that we can use it ourselves. From mining to carving and selling, we need a one-stop solution, which can save a lot of purchase costs. Sometimes labor is not as expensive as a high-end spirit stone. "

"Let's not talk about it, just think about it. It was a beautiful day. Okay, anyway, it's not something that can be done in a day or two. Take your time. Today's task is to quickly eat well and then have a good rest. Tomorrow Xiaofeng and I will go to the wild, so you don’t need to buy vegetables. Xiaotian, you can coax the two children.”

Ma Xiaotian looked sad: "I envy you two. I have to wait for the weekend. But next week you two will return to Hexi, and I don't know how many days."

Zhan Jiu scooped up a bowl of pork rib soup for Xiaotian: "It will take at least a week. If we find a suitable factory area, I'm afraid it will take longer. Otherwise... you will go back with us?"

Think about your son, and think about home.Ma Xiaotian sighed: "Forget it. I'll stay and take care of the children. In fact, I'm still quite homesick. I haven't been back for more than a year."

Ying Feng knew what Xiaotian was thinking. Unlike himself, who grew up in the capital, he had never been away from Hexi for so long, and he might not be able to go back for a long time. His home and farm are there, so he must miss him. what. "Otherwise, you can go back with me. The children have me. They don't need us to worry about them. We just coax the children to make them laugh. They don't seem to care about it yet."

Thinking of the two boys often ignoring Lao Tzu's behavior, Ma Xiaotian smiled: "That's right. Then let Mr. Huo come back early after finishing his work. You are lonely here alone."
