Chapter 143: So many golden pheasants are here to bring gold! (55)

The golden pheasant spit a golden bean into Su Ran's hand, which made him feel both magical and a little surprised.

The audience in the live broadcast room was extremely excited.

"Oh my god, it's gold beans. Brother Su, you got it."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect this golden pheasant to be so grateful that it actually gave Brother Su a piece of gold."

"It's just a small golden bean. We don't even know if it's pure or not. There's no need to get so excited."

As the saying goes, even a small fly is still meat. This is a piece of gold after all, so why can't we be excited?

If you picked up a hundred dollars on the street, you would probably be happy all day.

Su Ran was also very excited at this moment, and quickly scratched the head of the Golden Pheasant with his fingers: "Is this gold specially sent to me? Thank you so much, little one."

The surface of the golden bean in his hand was not smooth, but had many rough holes. This meant that this golden bean was definitely not dropped into the forest by someone and picked up by the golden pheasant.

"The gold in my hand is the most typical placer gold. The purity of this kind of gold is not high, so its value is not as good as ordinary gold."

Su Ran shook a piece of gold the size of his little finger in front of the camera. Regardless of whether this piece of gold was pure enough, its dazzling golden appearance in the sun made the audience drool.

"Gold is indeed the most beautiful thing in the world. It is so tempting."

"Brother Su, let's not talk about anything else for now. Just tell me how much this piece of gold is worth."

Su Ran took the gold placer and examined it carefully: "If it is gold as big as a little finger, it would weigh at least 20 grams. According to the current gold price of 700 per gram, it would be 14,000 yuan."

"But the purity of the gold sand is definitely not enough. The one I have in my hand only has a gold content of 30%. It can be extracted to be about six grams, which is about four thousand yuan."

Originally, the audience thought that the gold in Su Ran's hand was worthless, but they didn't expect it to be worth four thousand!
"That brother from before, come out soon. You call this unnecessary excitement? Four thousand yuan, that's equivalent to my monthly salary. I'm so envious of Brother Su."

"Speaking of which, Brother Su, do you want to hand over this gold?"

Theoretically, if gold is found in the wild, it should be handed over to the country. Su Ran also intends to hand it over. After all, this small piece of gold is only worth four thousand yuan. It is definitely valuable, but Su Ran is not willing to cause trouble for his future self because of a small piece of gold.

Unexpectedly, the official actually came out and responded to Su Ran in the live broadcast room.

"In recent years, the policy has been relaxed, especially for villagers living in the forest. We have always encouraged everyone to rely on the mountains to make a living and get rich together. As long as it is not a particularly large gold mine, private individuals can keep it to supplement their household income."

Although everyone knew that Su Ran was not short of money and there was naturally no question of subsidizing the household expenses, many viewers were delighted that Su Ran was allowed to accept the gold.

In the past, people always criticized someone for digging up gold under his own house and being forced to hand it over. Now this wave of operations has gained a lot of goodwill.

This is exactly the effect that the official wants.

It's just a piece of gold, how much is it worth? No one can get much benefit from it whether it is handed over or not.

It would be more worthwhile to gain some favorability and break the public's stereotypes.

"No, why can't I get such a good thing? Why can't my cockatiel bring me a piece of gold? Even if it's just gold dust, I'll be happy."

"I've already shown it to my starling. I've kept it for so long, it's time to let it go out and make money for me."

There was a lot of joy in the live broadcast room, and netizens all hoped that their own parrots could go out and pick up some gold.

But is it so easy to pick up gold in a big city?
"No matter what, this piece of gold is more valuable. I should thank the little guy."

Su Ran touched the golden pheasant lovingly, and the little guy also rubbed his head against him actively.

"Brother Su, I think you don't need to thank me at all. After all, this is the meal fee it paid for you."

Meal expenses?

This word is very vivid. Su Ran was left in tears and amused by the audience's words.

"So the other golden pheasants are too ignorant of the rules. The little ones know to take the lead and set an example, but they didn't do anything. Is it so easy for my Su family to eat the food for free?"

The audience hoped that other golden pheasants would come and give gold to Su Ran, but there weren't so many good things that could happen.

Just when Su Ran didn't take it seriously, unexpectedly a group of golden pheasants ran down the mountain.

Seeing the beautiful golden pheasants landing in the yard, Su Ran's eyes widened: "What are you doing here? It's not time for dinner yet."

It has only been a few hours since their last meal. Could it be that these golden pheasants are hungry again?
What was unexpected was that the golden pheasants lined up in a column and came forward one after another to spit out small golden beans of different sizes from their mouths.

The audience was stunned for a moment, and Su Ran was also stunned.

Not only him, even the official in the live broadcast room was stunned.

What’s going on? So much gold?

The shiny gold sand piled up into a small hill in front of Su Ran. The gold pieces were of different sizes and purities, but their cumulative value was very large.

"Oh my god, it's really what I said, with so much gold, Brother Su is really rich now."

"Brother Su, all this gold is enough to make a fortune."

Su Ran squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully. The smallest piece of gold in his hand weighed only one gram, and the largest weighed more than forty grams.

After counting nearly seventeen gold sand grains, if we take an average weight of twenty grams and then average the gold content, it would be worth at least one hundred thousand yuan.

This time Su Ran really made a profit.

He said that the cost of making a few meals of pig food might not even be a thousand yuan, but now, his investment has appreciated several times.

Look at these well-behaved and lovely golden pheasants. They are not chickens at all; they are clearly your lucky cats!
"So can I accept this gold too?" Su Ran asked with a smile to the live broadcast room.

"sure……"

The official replied with gritted teeth.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give up this little bit of gold, it’s just that Su Ran’s luck is so good.

But there is nothing to say about this matter. There is a saying that goes "Good deeds will be rewarded". Su Ran is so kind that he is willing to provide food for the golden pheasants. The fact that this kindness has been rewarded is something that everyone should be happy about.

The old man was standing at the door with a pipe in his mouth and was very happy. Faced with so much gold, who could keep his mouth shut?

Su Ran was very happy. He said, "Since these golden pheasants can bring me so much gold, it means there must be a gold mine on the mountain. I will go and help look for it."
-
Gold placer is a very interesting thing.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that placer gold is different from ordinary gold.

They are mainly found at the bottom of rivers or in low-lying areas.

Under long-term exposure to wind and sun, the gold ore that gradually emerges from the surface will be washed into the river with various impurities and gold ore after the stone cracks, and then continue to settle at the bottom of the river and mix with mud, stone and sand.

That's how the gold prospectors washed the sand in the riverbed and sifted for gold.

There is also another situation where the rock gold in some mountains is washed away by river water, and the gold stone is separated from the quartz ore to form gold.

Because this type of gold is as fine as sand, it is called placer gold.

On the way up the mountain, Su Ran had been sharing knowledge with netizens, and everyone had learned more about gold dust. A group of golden pheasants walked in front, and they could bring gold dust to Su Ran, which meant they knew which riverbed had this stuff.

So they are well-deserved as guides.

The sound of the gurgling stream was getting closer and closer. When we walked out of the coniferous forest, we saw a winding, incredibly beautiful stream in front of us.

Standing on the bank of the stream, Su Ran stretched out his arms and greedily breathed in the fragrance in the air.

The smell of nature is like the most tempting poppy, paralyzing people's nerves and making the whole person relax.

"The air here is really comfortable. People say the air abroad is sweet. I think the air here is not bad either."

Su Ran withdrew his hand, took off his shoes and submerged his feet in the water.

"Yes, yes, yes. Those who say that the air in foreign countries smells good have never smelled the smoke of gunpowder on the streets of the United States, or the stench of homeless people in some dirty and messy neighborhoods."

"I'm not hungry. I'll be quiet after a few days."

There are holy places everywhere, but such places often require people to take the initiative to find them.

On the other side of the river, ripples appeared.

Looking up, I saw an elk drinking water on the opposite bank of the river.

It seemed to have noticed Su Ran's presence. It didn't run away, but just looked up at him quietly.

Su Ran greeted it, and the elk lowered its head and then raised it again, as if nodding in greeting.

At this moment, Su Ran felt in a very good mood.

"I didn't expect that this place not only has beautiful scenery but also has such interesting animals."

"Brother Su, is this Santa Claus' mount?"

Glancing at the bullet screen on his wrist, Su Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Santa Claus rides a reindeer, and what you are seeing now is an elk."

"According to legend, the elk was the mount of Jiang Ziya in our country, also known as the Four-Unlike-Side Deer."

Su Ran zoomed in again, "Look at its face. It looks like a horse but it's not a horse. Its horns look like a deer but they're not a deer. Its hooves look like a cow but they're not a cow. Its tail looks like a donkey but it's not a donkey. Of course, there's also an animal called a serow, which is also called a four-legged beast."

"Elk are unique to China, and they were once extinct in history."

Hearing this, the audience couldn't help but become curious.

"Is there any explanation here?"

Su Ran smiled happily: "The elk populations we see now were all introduced from abroad and then developed. In the past, elks were raised in royal gardens and royal hunting grounds."

"Later, a French missionary discovered that elk was a species unique to China, so he brought elk specimens to the West, where they caused a huge sensation."

"Many Western zoologists went to China and brought elks to the West by buying or deceiving them. After the two world wars, elks in China were almost extinct due to natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"Some of the elk brought to the West survived because they were kept in zoos. Later in the 1980s, a British man collected some western elk and donated them to China."

"So the elk population in China has developed on this basis."

Netizens were fascinated by the song.
The elk were taken out of the country and then came back again. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?
A gust of wind blew, and a fallen leaf broke off from the branch, then flew into the air and slowly fell onto the water.

Looking in the direction of the drifting leaves, two more elks, one big and one small, walked out of the woods.

They appeared quietly with extremely steady steps.

At this moment, it feels like a dream.

"It's true that I saw a deer in the deep forest."

The audience just felt extremely happy at this moment, as if they had merged into one with the entire forest.

At this time, Su Ran also started panning for gold in the riverbed.

The water is a little cool, but not biting. Instead, the breeze that brings a hint of warmth makes people feel extremely refreshed.

Su Ran scooped up a pile of gravel from under the riverbed with both hands, then placed it in the water and let the flowing stream wash it away. Soon a dark golden nugget of gold sand appeared in the camera.

The audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed.

"Oh my god, there really is gold under this riverbed."

"Brother Su, you are so lucky!"

"I have never wanted to get through the screen as much as I do now."

"Brother Su is getting rich without me, right? I'm unfollowing you!"

Seeing the excitement of the audience, Su Ran explained with a smile: "Don't be so excited, this piece of gold sand looks big, but it contains very little gold. Because if the gold content is high, the gold nugget will be yellow, and the more gold there is, the yellower it will be."

"But the gold in my hand is dark gold, which means that its gold content is pitifully low. If it is purified, it may not even be enough to cover the labor cost."

After searching the riverbed for a while, Su Ran didn't find much in the end.

He placed a handful of gold he had found in front of the camera and said, "I have been looking for this much and this is all I can find. The purity is not very high. It may only be worth a few thousand dollars."

"The golden pheasants must have searched this place thoroughly before. After all, they like shiny things, and they don't like these black lumps."

Su Ran felt that she wouldn't make much money if she continued looking like this.

If he really wanted to, he could actually put all the mud and sand into a basin, rinse it continuously in water, so that the mud would be carried away by the water, and then he could manually remove the large stones, and what would be left would be gold.

This method of gold panning can be used as entertainment.

Moreover, the gold grade of the gold sand washed out from the gold pan can be calculated after weighing. If it reaches the mineralization level, it means that there is indeed a gold mine upstream.

But Su Ran doesn't have the time now.

After landing, he sat down on the shore to rest and said, "I can confirm that there is gold in this riverbed. As I said before, gold sand is the weathering of gold-bearing rocks, which is carried by water and then gathered on the riverbed."

"Now that we have found the placer gold mine, there is a certain probability of discovering rock gold if we search upstream along the river. The subsequent work will be handed over to the experts. This is all I can do."

In the barrage, several official accounts that had been following the trend expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, Master Su. We will send relevant experts to conduct an on-site survey."

"Haha, I didn't expect the official boss to also be called Brother Su and God Su. That's so interesting."

Su Ran glanced at the comments and nodded: "Yeah, when the people arrive, contact me and I'll bring your people in."

He was not worried that the news would be leaked to people with ulterior motives due to the live broadcast.
