C722

The best thing about riding a motorcycle was that they could stop at any time, and Xiao Peng and Amelia weren't in a hurry to get to a nice place to stop, either because Xiao Peng wanted to take pictures or because Amelia wanted to paint, or because one of them wanted to take pictures and the other wanted to paint.

But there was one place where neither of them could bear to go: Big Josef National Park.

To be honest, the scenery here wasn't as beautiful as the scenery in the Thousand Mile Rock, but it made Xiao Peng forget about it. It was because of the Fevre Beach.

Fevre Beach is the only purple beach in the world. The reason for this was that the rocks here contained manganese garnet. The sand on the beach was originally purple ore, but after being broken by the waves, it became more and more obvious as they moved deeper into the beach. At the end of the beach, there was a large area of true purple sand. When the two of them arrived, it was already close to sunset, and the setting sun was especially beautiful on the beach.

"I suddenly feel that the tickets here are the most worthwhile of all the toll points on Highway 1! It's worth five dollars. " Xiao Peng continued taking pictures with his camera as he spoke to Amelia.

Amelia smiled and said, "I think so too. Look at this purple beach. How beautiful is it?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "This place is rich in Manganese garnet stones. If you search carefully, you will still be able to find Manganese garnet stones."

The garnet is one of the main rock-forming minerals in the upper mantle. Because the garnet crystals are similar to the pomegranate seeds, they are called garnet. The common garnet is red, but its color range is very wide, covering almost all colors of the spectrum.

In the Bronze Age of China, garnet was used as a grinding material and as a precious stone.

Now in China, the market for garnet accessories was extremely hot, especially for girls. Many of them bought garnet accessories at high prices, claiming what products they had.

Xiao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The classification of pomegranate stone is never divided into several A's. You take a string of pomegranate stones and find different merchants to tell you the number of A's of different grades. These were all methods used by profiteers to cheat money, but there was no doubt about it.

Is garnet a gem? Yes! However, they still had to differentiate between what kind of garnet stone it was! Like diamonds, all diamonds are diamonds, but not all diamonds are diamonds! The higher the grade, the more precious gems. As for the rest, they could only be used for emery.

The same is true of garnet. Because of the high content of pomegranate, the origin of garnet is almost all over the world, and the species are different, the price difference is also very large. Good garnet prices are continuous city, for example, from the Ural mountain range, 'Ural Ancestral Green', the top rank is priceless, the price is comparable to diamonds! The bad garnet can only be used as abrasives, which is often used as a substitute for the silicon sand used in sand-spraying treatment.

In addition to the Ural emeralds, the price of pomegranate produced in Mozambique is also very high, while domestic ones are mostly black, so the price is also low. The most important evaluation of garnet is the color, must be bright and pure, transparency is good. Simply put, the lighter the color the better, because garnet itself is a darker stone, light is rare, the less impurities there are, the better the crack, the more transparent the better.

After hearing Xiao Peng's words, Amelia actually went looking for garnet, but Xiao Peng was too lazy to look for it. Common garnet was divided into six types because of its chemical composition: red garnet, aluminum garnet, manganese aluminum durite, calcium iron durite, and calcium aluminum durite. Apart from the green upper grade of calcium iron, other types of garnet could only be described as of average value, similar to ordinary small crystals. Let him struggle to find a top-grade manganese aluminum stone? Xiao Peng might as well enjoy the sunset and the sea breeze on the beach.

And the most infuriating part was that garnet could also be synthesized. No matter what gem, as long as it could be synthesized, the price would plummet. The most famous was the ruby!

Ruby should be one of the most expensive and rare gems on Earth, but because of the appearance of artificial rubies, the market for rubies was pulled below the horizon! Only those who truly knew how to do it knew the value of natural rubies.

Although the price of natural rubies is still sky-high, only top luxury brands would dare use natural rubies as a raw material. It was because people knew that they would not use counterfeit goods to smash their own brands. They could confidently buy them.

However, many upstarts still disdain natural rubies. Why? Too many fakes! You bring along a ruby worth tens of millions of dollars, you see someone on the street with a few hundred artificial ruby pieces, and what's more infuriating is that the layman still doesn't know the difference. It was as if he had eaten a fly.

It was a very simple example. Sean and Martin were surprised when Xiao Peng took out a few dollars a cigar. However, they didn't have any reaction when they saw that Xiao Peng was wearing a ruby ring worth billions of dollars because they thought it was fake. It's like driving a Ferrari. People will think you're wearing real goods even if you're wearing a street vendor's outfit. People will think you're wearing fake goods just because you're sitting in a BOSS suit eating youtiao and drinking soy sauce.

In any case, the appearance of artificial garnet once again hit the market of gemstone grade garnet, and the market price fell by leaps and bounds. Uh. Except China.

In such a mystical country like China, even the cypress in the green belt could transform into a cypress of 'a thousand years of wind and rain on the Taihang Mountains'. What was impossible about it?

Seeing Amelia playing happily on the beach, Xiao Peng took the opportunity to raise his tent. "Amelia, do you need me to help you set up your tent?"

"No, I want to do it myself." Amelia had the courage to run back and set up her own tent. Seeing that she was serious, Xiao Peng took out a can of cola and drank it up. Then, he took out his Swiss Army knife and started carving on the can.

Amelia set up her tent and saw Xiao Peng holding onto a small knife as he pointed it at the can. She walked over and asked, "Xiao, what are you doing?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "I'm preparing dinner?"

Amelia did not understand. "What does dinner have to do with cans?"

"Let's put it this way. I grew up by the sea. To me, finding food by the sea is as easy as flipping my palm. It's like taking a vacation. Today, I'll let you experience it."

Xiao Peng cut off the top of the can, leaving about two-thirds of the room. He then found a piece of newspaper and rolled it up, tightly stuffing it into the can. After that, Xiao Peng found a candle to light the pot for the night and lit it, dripping hot wax onto the newspaper inside.

The more Amelia looked at it, the more confused she became. "What is this?"

Xiao Peng replied with a smile, "Make a small stove. Don't underestimate this little thing. Once all the wax permeates the newspaper, this small stove will last for at least 40 minutes. It's very convenient to prepare a few in the wild."

Amelia was interested, too, and made a little can stove. Xiao Peng took out a small stainless steel bowl and handed it to Amelia. "There are oysters on the rocks. It's best to find bigger ones. " Amelia left happily while Xiao Peng took out his fishing rod and hit Luya. Not long after, Xiao Peng caught two sea bass fish. To be exact, there were three of them. One of them was too small, so he put it back into the sea. Who knew where the fisherman was staring at him? Even Xiao Peng didn't dare to go into the water to fish up the Red Bowl! This area of the sea was forbidden from fishing for red abalone.

Normally, you wouldn't have been able to find them with a lantern, but once you broke the rules, they would instantly appear in front of you.

Xiao Peng went into the sea and picked some seaweed and other vegetables. When he returned to the shore, Amelia dug up a bowl of oysters and asked, "Xiao Peng, are these enough?"

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "Enough is enough." After saying that, he dug a hole on the beach, placed the completed Ease Jar Furnace into the bottom of the hole, took out a pipe, and went around to find some firewood. He then spread out the seaweed and seaweed on it.

Another can stove was used to cook oysters. It was cooked directly in clean seawater and served with some seaweed. It was that simple.

Amelia was puzzled. "Xiao, why don't you just use the can to roast the fish?"

Xiao Peng said, "This can be used to light a fire and cook things, but you can't use it to roast things. After all, there's a candle inside. It doesn't matter if it's just me, but you can't eat candles, can you? On the one hand, this layer of seafood underneath was used to roast fish, while on the other hand, it was used to cut off the harm caused by the wax. We'll have a simple meal today. Tomorrow, I'll go buy some seasonings and the like. That way, we'll be able to make even more delicious dishes. "

"Xiao, I think this is going to be delicious. I can already smell the aroma of grilled fish."

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "Don't be anxious, we can only eat after a while. I have some bread in my bag, bake it now, and we'll eat together later! "

Amelia shook her head and sat there unmoving. "I don't want to leave. This fish is too fragrant. I can't smell enough of it."

"Yes."

And in a car in the distance: "Ivan, I've had enough! This kind of work wasn't done by a human! I don't want to gnaw on hard bread! I don't want sausages! I'm going down to eat grilled fish. "

"Mozkov, calm down. When we destroy their car at night, they'll slow down and we can eat anything we want! "Think about when we were in Africa. We are very happy now, aren't we?"

"Ivan, there's a saying in China, 'It is hard to get from frugality to extravagance'. That's right."

"Enough, stop complaining. Hurry up and keep an eye on them. When they fall asleep, quickly solve this problem." "Damn it, this damned mosquito!"
