In the afternoon, Ning Fei was teasing Xiao Quan and Xiao Fei at Qingfeng Temple. The village chief knocked on the door outside and shouted:
"Ning Fei, people from the Geological Bureau are here."
After Ning Fei opened the door, he saw a total of four people outside. The village chief Qin Zheng was on the side, and on the other side was an assistant-like figure.
One of the two people in the middle, Ning Fei knew him, was Zhu Mu, a civil servant from the Geological Bureau. The last time he discovered the stalactite cave, it was Zhu Mu who came over and gave him a cash reward of 50,000 yuan and a certificate.
The other person was an old man, and his body looked a little rickety, but Ning Fei saw something different in his eyes.
Faces come from the heart, and when you reach a certain age, you can see something through faces.
The facial features here refer to the facial features in a natural state, not when performing or being emotionally excited.
For example, some people have very smart eyes and are smart at first glance; some people have a fierce look between their eyebrows and are not easy to mess with; and some women look very wealthy and aristocratic, obviously coming from wealthy families with good foundation.
This old man's eyes were not worldly or utilitarian, he was calm and would not deliberately change when he met someone.
Zhu Mu who was on the side smiled immediately when he saw Ning Fei, his eyes were polite, and said: "Hello, Mr. Ning, let me introduce to you. This is Xu Qiu, a professor and geological scientist from the General Bureau of Geology in Kyoto. senior."
"Hello." Ning Fei greeted Xu Qiu kindly.
Xu Qiu looked at Ning Fei and felt at first glance that this young man was very nice and made him feel very comfortable.
"Hello." Xu Qiu also responded politely.
"I'm still broadcasting, don't you mind." Ning Fei asked again.
"No problem, it's not a secret." Zhu Mu replied immediately.
"Okay, please come over there."
Several people walked into Qingfeng Temple. When Jiang Xue saw someone coming, she also prepared a pot of tea, went to the living room, and poured tea for everyone.
Netizens watched this scene the whole time. It is relatively rare for local civil servants to visit.
After sitting down, Zhu Mu said:
"Ning Guanzhu, it's like this. According to the new "Chinese Cultural Relics Protection Law" and "Chinese Ancient Fossils Protection Law", there will be a relevant rating and different rewards for the ancient cultural relics and ancient fossils discovered by the people. .”
"Of course, there will be a certain difference between our rewards and market auction prices."
"Professor Xu is here specifically to grade the chalk cicada amber."
"On behalf of the Geological Bureau, I would like to sincerely thank you for contacting us."
Zhu Mu's attitude was very sincere, Ning Fei just nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."
After saying that, Ning Fei took out the chalk cicada amber and handed it out.
Ning Fei was seen holding a piece of golden transparent amber in his hand, with a lifelike white cicada wrapped in the middle, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xu Qiu's attention was immediately attracted by the amber in Ning Fei's hand.
When he took the amber from Ning Fei, his hands were shaking a little.
"The way you looked at that scientist was dull just now. I thought it was fake. Now he looks so serious."
"That person is Xu Qiu? Oh my God! Xu Qiu is an authoritative professor of geology. Many of his discoveries have been written into geology textbooks!"
"Is this old man so powerful?"
"Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, what do you think?"
"I remembered that he had a very authoritative paper in which he discovered traces of meteorites from fossils from the Jurassic era and proved that meteorites were the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs!"
"That was his early paper. Xu Qiu's subsequent papers are very impressive!"
"You mean, this old man is a very authoritative scientist?"
"That's right!"
"Qingfeng Temple is amazing, you can even see scientists."
Many barrages are discussing this matter.
No one expected that the Geological Bureau was supposed to handle the matter of Ning Fei picking up the chalk cicada amber, but a scientist would come over specifically.
In fact, Xu Qiu didn't need to come in person, he could just wait in the Qincheng Geological Bureau. But knowing that such an important piece of amber was outside, he really couldn't wait, so he immediately took Zhu Mu and came over.
Xu Qiu carefully held the amber in his hand, then took out a small tube-shaped magnifying glass and observed it carefully.
Everyone else looked at him silently.
The little animals in the house were not disturbed by these guests. The little dog and Xiao Fei were playing in the backyard, the little fox was lying on the corridor basking in the sun, and the little falcon flew away to an unknown place.
"It's a chalk cicada from the early Cretaceous period, and it's actually so completely preserved!"
After Xu Qiu confirmed it, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Without professional equipment at hand, Xu Qiu could only judge the approximate age of this piece of amber through chalk cicadas.
The more he looked, the more excited he became.
Current geological research in China has almost no understanding of the Cretaceous era.
It is undeniable that in the field of geological research, China lags far behind some of the world's leading powers.
In particular, research on prehistoric creatures is even scarcer. Chinese scientists can only accumulate some knowledge about prehistoric creatures by studying articles published by foreign research institutions.
And now, the piece of chalk cicada amber picked up by Ning Fei has undoubtedly helped the research in the field of Chinese geology!
Even if the research produces results, the field of Chinese geology may even shock the entire geological world!
This thing is really priceless for geological scientific research.
"This piece of amber is too precious. Comrade, may I ask, where did you find this piece of amber?" Xu Qiu was particularly excited, and his eyes became a little brighter.
"I now suspect that that place was probably the place where the earliest moths were born and evolved in the Cretaceous!"
Hearing Xu Qiu's conclusion, Ning Fei couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
This old man is amazing!
Ning Fei had always respected scientists who dedicated their lives to science, so he took out a map to check the longitude and latitude, wrote the longitude and latitude of the mountain on paper, and handed it to Xu Qiu.
Of course, Ning Fei did not let the netizens in the live broadcast room see the longitude and latitude.
"The research on this piece of amber is of great significance. I will go back to the General Administration for instructions and will try my best to fight for the corresponding rights and interests for you."
Xu Qiu took the longitude and latitude handed over by Ning Fei and didn't know how to thank the handsome young man in front of him.
For a person like him, who devotes himself wholeheartedly to the field of science, few people or things can touch him.
Now this piece of amber really makes this old man who is nearly seventy years old feel that the blood of Shen Shen is boiling.
It was as if he was still the passionate young man he was back then and could climb another mountain of scientific research.
"Okay, please excuse me." Ning Fei did not refuse the rights he deserved and said with a smile.
He abided by the law and handed over ancient fossils with scientific research value. He deserved to be rewarded by the superiors.
Then, Zhu Mu said many polite words of thanks to Ning Fei, but Ning Fei only responded gently.
After a while, these people left.
The village chief Qin Zheng did stay.
"You are so powerful now that great scientists are coming to your door. You don't know how high the status of scientists was in my time. If a scientist can come out of the village, the whole village will be proud of it."
Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Ning Fei knew what the village chief was talking about. He remembered clearly that when he was in elementary school, the teacher asked everyone what their ideals were and what they wanted to be when they grew up.
The most common answers are scientists, followed by astronauts, teachers, doctors, etc., all of which are good professions.
Of course, Ning Fei's answer was a Taoist priest, and he was laughed at by many little kids at the time.
Nowadays, times are changing, and so are the ideals of young people.
There was also a short video on the Internet. The teacher asked primary school students what they would be like when they grow up. The most common answers were "star" and "singer". There are also several primary school students who hope to become an idol trainee like Cai when they grow up. .
Everyone has their own choices, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"I was lucky enough to pick up a fossil. I didn't expect that they would come up in person." Ning Fei replied.
"Village chief, I just picked some peppers this morning and I can't eat them. Please bring some."
Ning Fei was going to get the peppers again, but he remembered that he was still live broadcasting, so he shook his head again and just said: "I am live broadcasting, but it's not working yet. I will send it to you when I get a chance."
It is normal for villagers to give each other some things from the vegetable garden. Especially the village chief has a high prestige in the village. Many people like to give him cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and green onions. They are not worth much, but The village chief happily accepts it every time if it can attract feelings.
But the Internet can easily amplify a thing. This kind of thing is reasonable and illegal. If Ning Fei really gave it away now, in the eyes of others, it would be like the village chief went to the villager's house to search for things.
Many people don't know the truth and like to accuse someone from the moral high ground.
Ning Fei is very smart, so he considers things very carefully.
"This is all a trivial matter. I originally came to you because someone from Mashan Village next door came to me as a matchmaker and asked me to ask if you would like to meet their girl. Now that you have a partner, I won't bother you. "
Qin Zheng took out the dry cigarette, added some shredded tobacco, lit it and took two puffs.
For someone like him who is used to smoking dry cigarettes, ordinary cigarettes are completely boring and tasteless.
When Qin Zheng saw Jiang Xue, he understood that Ning Fei had decided that this was a lifelong matter.
It just so happened that Widow Liu from the next village liked to be a matchmaker. She had been eyeing Ning Fei for a long time and annoyed him several times. Qin Zheng's idea is that Ning Fei is the most outstanding young man in Qinshan Village, and he can like you from Xiaopo Village.
Now that Ning Fei has company, he can refuse.
Ning Fei heard what the village chief meant and knew that the village chief had misunderstood. But regardless of this misunderstanding, he really didn't want the village chief to help him with this kind of thing.
In a place like Qinshan Village, the village chief is like the head of the family. Which family does not have a wife is also the village chief's problem. Especially some lazy people, that is the village chief's number one problem.
"Old Xu, do you want your wife or not" which was very popular some time ago also has this background.
After hearing the village chief's words, as expected, a netizen started to joke and posted: "Lao Ning, if you want a wife or not, as long as you open the mouth of gold, I will bring it to you later."
This barrage also made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room happy.
Jiang Xue, who was on the sidelines, was a little cautious when she heard the village chief said that she was Ning Fei's partner. Then she took a peek and found that Ning Fei's expression did not change and he did not refuse, and he suddenly felt happy.
Of course, she also knew that Ning Fei was trying to avoid trouble, but this feeling was still quite good.
When Ning Fei was seeing the village chief off, he heard another thing.
"Recently, a program crew came to the village. It seems to be quite a large program crew. They rented the house of Old Li's family in Dongtou, and are renovating it. They said they will start filming in a month or two." Village Chief Qin Zheng laughed. He said that Qinshan Village is becoming more and more popular, and he is naturally happy.
"A program team is coming to our place?" Ning Fei asked with interest after hearing Qin Zheng's words.
"Yeah, I don't know what kind of big star he is. It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect the life of the village."
With that said, the village chief left.
Ning Fei also went directly back to the backyard and continued to play with the three cute pets.
No matter what happened to him, it was still not as important as what happened to these three little guys.
