Chapter 152 Let’s Open a Museum, Delicious Braised Pork (35)

After receiving the news from the research institute, Su Ran rushed over immediately.

"what's the result?"

Looking at the excited researcher Su Ran in the laboratory, he could guess that the research results would be better than he thought.

"Come in and take a look first." The director of the institute, Zhang Chaoyang, took Su Ran into the laboratory. Looking at the various results and data on the screen, Su Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile: "How is it, do you understand it?"

Su Ran pointed at the line of professional terms above and said, "Does this paragraph mean that it has been clearly detected that some iron and nickel components have been detected in the nugget gold?"

"That's right." Zhang Chaoyang nodded with a little surprise.

"So this nugget of gold does contain nickel-iron meteorite."

Su Ran continued to read on, and when he saw the column for the gold nugget content, his mouth widened slightly: "The gold content of this piece of gold nugget is actually 95%."

This also means that apart from a small amount of rare metal impurities such as nickel-iron meteorites, the gold content of this nugget is higher than Su Ran had previously speculated.

Zhang Chaoyang suppressed his excitement and said: "Modern research believes that gold is formed when massive stars explode as supernovas, and then when neutron stars collide, because only at such moments can heavy metal elements such as gold be synthesized."

"These gold fragments wandered in space and formed larger asteroids in the process of colliding with other asteroids. When the Earth was formed in its early days, a large number of meteorites with high gold content fell on the Earth."

Just as Zhang Chaoyang said, the earth was in a molten state at that time, and heavy metals such as gold were concentrated deep in the earth's core, where they still remain today.

If it could all be dug out, then everyone on earth would be able to get tens of thousands of tons of gold.

He also looked at the nugget gold on the test bench and said, "Based on the current research results, this nugget gold was indeed brought to Earth by an asteroid meteorite. The nugget gold was formed in space."

This result was within Su Ran's expectations, but it also surprised him a little.

The county-level research institute also used this nugget to infer the gold content of the upper reaches of Linhai. However, due to confidentiality, it cannot be made public.

"What are you going to do with this nugget of gold?"

Zhang Chaoyang and the county-level leaders all looked at Su Ran.

Su Ran did not answer, but asked: "I lent it to you for research and there are results. Can I take the things back now?"

"Forehead……"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

But in the end he said, "Of course."

Su Ran was quite satisfied with this answer. Perhaps it was because of his status that no one dared to rob him in front of him.

When Su Ran walked out of the research institute with the gold nugget and the research report, a group of people saw him out, and they seemed a little reluctant to let him go.

Feeling the gazes from behind, Su Ran stood still, turned around, forced a bright smile on his face, waved at them and said, "No need to see me off, my family is waiting for me to have dinner, so I won't sit here for a while."

Zhang Chaoyang wiped his eyes, took a breath and said to the people around him: "What is this kid talking about? He can just put the gold nugget here, and he doesn't have to sit here in person."

"Go slowly, Jinzi. How can we live without you?"

……

"What? Are you saying that this piece of gold nugget is really an alien object?" Chen Sisi looked surprised.

Su Ran corrected him, "All the gold you have encountered is from outer space, but this nugget of gold was formed in outer space."

Chen Sisi said she didn't understand what Simida said. She only cared about how much the gold was worth now: "Su Ran, just tell me how much it is worth."

The old man also looked over curiously.

Su Ran stretched out a finger.

"One...ten million?"

Su Ran shook his head.

“It won’t be one hundred million, right?”

Chen Sisi widened her eyes in shock.

Su Ran retracted his finger and said seriously: "To be precise, its value can no longer be measured simply by money."

Chen Sisi doesn’t understand these, because after all, it’s just a piece of gold.

A gold that looks relatively rare.

However, she and Grandpa asked in unison: "So what are you going to do with this nugget of gold now?"

Mantou stared at the gold nugget in Su Ran's hand, probably because he felt that this golden stone could be exchanged for a lot of delicious food, so he was drooling.

Su Ran pushed the steamed bun that came closer to her with her hand: "Go away, your saliva is dripping on my shoes."

Mantou's eyes were red and he burst into tears while holding back his tears.

Daddy is so mean to me!

Ahhhhh!
I'm going to hang myself at your doorstep!
Chen Sisi hurriedly hugged Mantou in her arms and comforted him for a while.

"I don't know what to do with this nugget of gold for now."

Su Ran was serious. If it were sold, this gold nugget would definitely be a hot commodity.

Just look at the private messages in the background, bosses from home and abroad are offering higher prices than each other.

But selling this nugget of gold for 10 million is a good price, right?

Fifty million is ok, right?
I just always feel that it’s a pity to exchange this money for something.

The main thing is that Su Ran is not short of money now.

For example, he has saved up almost seven million yuan.

As for donating to the country...

There is no doubt that Su Ran is indeed a very patriotic person. If he had 100 million, he would be happy to donate it.

But now he really has a piece of nugget gold.

I'm not a saint, and it really hurts for me to donate.

Just when he was puzzled, Zhao Youcai, director of the Provincial Museum, came to see him.

"Brother, I heard that you found a nugget of gold. It seems to be a cultural relic. I don't see this kind of thing very often. Let me have a look."

Su Ran brought the gold nugget to Zhao Youcai.

"Oh, the quality is quite good, 99% of it is a rare item!"

Zhao Youcai laughed, and out of professional habit he subconsciously took out dust-proof gloves from the car and carefully examined the nugget of gold.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this thing is really good, better than many of the cultural relics in our museum. Brother, listen to my advice, if you want to sell this thing, don't sell it to those foreigners."

Zhao Youcai and Su Ran almost reached a consensus on this point. Su Ran smiled and said, "I don't plan to sell it for the time being, but I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet."

Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up: "Haven't you thought about it? This is easy. Since the country hasn't asked you for such a precious thing, you should just keep it as a collection for yourself."

"Whether it is used to appreciate it to maintain its value, or passed on to future generations to sell for family income when they fall on hard times, it is much more meaningful than just selling it now."

Su Ran nodded and said, "Well, Brother Youcai, what you said is indeed correct. I always feel that even if I sell it for tens of millions, it will be useless. There is still a lot of room for its appreciation in the future."

Zhao Youcai laughed mysteriously, put down the gold nugget he was examining, walked over to Su Ran and hugged him: "You have a lot of ideas, and you are so lucky, always picking up treasures in the forest. Since you are not short of money, why don't you just open a museum yourself?"
-
Su Ran had never thought about Zhao Youcai's suggestion.

"Is it feasible for an individual to open a museum?" Chen Sisi asked, squatting on the side, supporting her chin with both hands.

Zhao Youcai smiled and said, "Why not? Do you know Malay? He owns four private museums with thousands of collections. His worth is still hard to estimate."

"You said that these cultural relics will be passed down to his descendants for generations to come, and he will be born as a museum director. Even if he is a complete idiot, what's the point of working for him with this family background?"

"And the most important thing is," Zhao Youcai said with a chuckle, "if you find any treasures in the future, you can legally add them to your own museum. With your connections and contributions, the higher-ups won't refuse."

Zhao Youcai was truly considering Su Ran, and this suggestion really made him see the light.

"How about it, do you want to do it? I can take you there to get the qualifications tomorrow. I have acquaintances in this area, brother."

"But if you want to build a museum, you need a place." Zhao Youcai looked around the room, "You can't just exhibit it at home, that would be inappropriate."

Su Ran thought about it and agreed: "How much does it cost to build a museum?"

Zhao Youcai thought about it and said based on his experience: "About two million. Of course, this is the simplest kind of museum."

Su Ran now has more than 7 million, so 2 million is still within his reach: "If we can build a museum at the foot of Linhai Mountain, it will be quite inspiring."

The money was well spent, as he would always find some valuable things in the forest that were not easy to sell in the future. It would be a good choice to display them in a museum.

And being a museum director is pretty cool, right?

So the next day Su Ran went to the village and expressed his desire to approve a piece of land.

If it were an ordinary villager, it would definitely be difficult to get approval, but this was Su Ran, and the village owed him a lot of favors before, so even if it was just going through the procedures, he got all the green lights.

Moreover, the village leadership team almost unanimously agreed that Su Ran's decision was beneficial to Qijiaqiao Village.

"With Xiaoran's fame, plus the fact that our village will have a museum in the future, it will be able to attract a large number of tourists. At that time, we can develop some small projects, such as farmhouses, etc. Why worry that Qijiaqiao can't go nationwide?"

Chow Tai Fook spoke in a high-pitched voice.

This unknown little village had been silent for too long, like a dusty night pearl. It was Su Ran's arrival that wiped the dust off the pearl bit by bit.

After obtaining approval from the village, Su Ran invited a construction team to start building a museum at the foot of Linhai Mountain.

The location is just a little closer to Su Ran's home. It's surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery and good air.

In particular, the terrain is very wide, and a parking lot can be built on the side in the future.

We asked a professional cost estimator to do the math and found that the total cost of building the museum is about 2.23 million.

This also includes labor and various miscellaneous expenses.

Su Ran didn't feel bad about losing two million. Only investment can bring returns, and the five million in his pocket still made him feel at ease.

"It will take at least three months to build the museum, which will coincide with the summer vacation. The number of visitors to our village should surge."

Su Ran sent a WeChat message to Chow Tai Fook, and the news quickly spread in the village.

The news also reached the ears of young villagers working outside the village.

Less than two days had passed, and there were some faces in the village that were both familiar and unfamiliar to Su Ran.

Su Ran was cooking early in the morning. He weighed a few pounds of the freshest pork belly from the town to make braised pork.

Big Black Bun was already waiting in the main room, and Aunt Wang was also chatting with old lady Aunt Liu.

"Have you heard that recently several children in the village have returned to the village? I asked around and they said they are planning to stay in Qijiaqiao." Although Aunt Liu has a bad temper, she is also a gossip girl in the village and always has first-hand information about what is happening in the village.

Aunt Wang felt that these young people came back because of Su Ran's construction of Qijiaqiao. She looked at the old man and smiled, "Those kids probably heard from their elders that our Xiao Ran made a fortune in just half a year thanks to Lin Hai. They all saw the way to make money here."

"Oh, what kind of way to make money? How could they learn this way?" Even Aunt Liu had to admit that Su Ran was indeed much better than ordinary children.

Seeing the two of them praising their grandson in various ways, the old man was very happy listening to them.

I felt so proud.

Su Ran is currently being affectionate with Chen Sisi in the kitchen.

The fact is that Chen Sisi was just helping out, and seeing how close they were, the fans started to make a fuss in the live broadcast room.

It is still early, the time when office workers are commuting, but Su Ran's live broadcast room already has more than 500,000 people watching.

Even a host with tens of millions of fans cannot achieve such data.

"I'm so sorry for being late, everyone."

"I just came downstairs and on my way to the company, I couldn't wait to open Su Shen's live broadcast. In the past, the only things that attracted me were the sword-forging competition and Odebiao, but now it's only Brother Su."

"I'm on the subway right now, and there are so many people around me watching Su Ge's live broadcast. I feel so familiar with him for some reason."

"What I can't forget the most is the bowl of pig food that Su Shen made. I can't help drooling just thinking about it now."

"By the way, is Brother Su making braised pork now?"

Su Ran glanced at the comments without stopping his work and said, "Yes, I happened to come across some good pork belly when I went to town, so I thought of buying some to make braised pork."

Braised pork is quite particular, and if you are good at it, it will be the most impeccable delicacy.

If it's not cooked well, you'll feel sick after just one bite.

At this moment, Su Ran had already prepared all the side dishes and condiments. The pork belly on the chopping board had bright colors, as if covered by a layer of filter, and it looked delicious.

"At first I thought Su Ran had dragged out his own black pig and slaughtered it, but I didn't expect it was bought from the market."

The audience thought it was not native pork, Su Ran smiled and said: "This is also native pork, look at the thickness of its skin."

Su Ran picked up a long strip of pork belly. The skin looked particularly thick under the camera: "The skin of local pork will look thicker, about 0.4-5. The skin of pigs fed hybrid feed will be thinner, about 0.2-3."

"Although the skin of sow meat is also very thick and very unpalatable, it is much easier to tell whether it is sow meat than whether it is native pig meat."

"Besides, when you look at the color of the meat, do you think it is very bright red? In fact, I have never used beauty filters in my live broadcast room, because local pork is like this. On the contrary, the color of those feed pork will be lighter, or even white."

What Su Ran said was relatively intuitive and clear, and almost everyone had an impression of it in their minds, and they will try to buy the right local pork in the future.

But you don’t actually need to learn this.

After all, in big cities, the price of local pork is there.

It is just more expensive than regular pork.
