Xu Bo'an said that the mountain man has his own clever plan, and he is not just talking about it out of thin air.
Although the "Fortune Divination Sutra" he mastered cannot predict everything about himself, he found that since mastering the "Fortune Divination Sutra", his sixth sense has become much stronger.
When encountering difficulties, he subconsciously has this sixth sense that vaguely predicts the outcome. Of course, it works sometimes and sometimes not.
Hearing that the pangolin wanted to eat the gold necklace, Xu Boan hurriedly said: "You can't taste this thing. If you want to eat it, I will find you some edible gold."< br>
It’s not that Xu Bo’an is stingy and reluctant to give this gold necklace to the pangolin.
But this necklace is just for testing to see if the pangolin can really hunt for treasure. From this point of view, it is true. It is true that gold is considered a treasure.
However, this gold necklace is not Xu Boan's own after all. If it is really bitten by a pangolin, Xu Boan will not be able to explain it to Chen Pingping.
“I can’t wait, I can’t wait!” the pangolin muttered like a chatterbox, completely different from the reserved and idiotic look Xu Boan had when he first met this little guy.
As the Pangolin said, he stuck out his tongue and licked the stainless steel tea partition at his feet to satisfy his craving.
With this movement and posture, Xu Boan even thought it was appropriate to call it an "iron-eating beast"!
"Why can't you wait? Haven't you eaten gold before? Why are you greedy?" Xu Bo'an said casually.
"That's different. The gold I've eaten before has never tasted so delicious. It doesn't even smell like the same taste at all." Pangolin hurriedly explained.
"Are you kidding me? What's the difference between gold and gold?" Xu Bo'an muttered subconsciously in disbelief.
After all, he had seen the gold brought back by Sunji Yinlou in the bonsai before, and it looked exactly like the gold he had seen in the real world.
And Li Qingshi and the people in the backing village never said there was anything wrong with the gold ring he dropped.
Gold ring?
Yes, there is a way.
When Xu Boan thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he had dropped a gold ring into Li Qingshi and the others. Just take that thing out and give it to this little guy to try.
Let me tell you, the mountain man has his own clever plan! Here comes the brilliant idea.
The pangolin beast tried hard to explain: "It's really different. The gold I ate before, what should I say? I always felt something was wrong. Although the gold before tasted like gold, it tasted very spicy. , anyway, it just doesn’t taste good enough, there seems to be a lot of impurities in it.”
Hot throat! My dear, you are quite a picky eater.
But I heard the impurities mentioned by the Pangolin! Xu Boan instantly understood the problem.
If there are impurities in gold, doesn’t that mean the gold is not pure enough?
Thinking of this level, Xu Boan nodded slightly.
After all, the development of various technologies in the bonsai world is still very backward, and the gold purification process is naturally incomparable with the purification process in the modern world.
Xu Boan remembers what he learned when he was in school. The ancient gold purification technology was relatively primitive, so the purity of gold was often low, maybe even less than 50%, and the remaining half was composed of other metal components.
Modern smelting and purification technology is very high-end, and can easily extract gold with extremely high purity, even reaching a purity of 99.9996%.
With such a huge difference, no wonder the pangolin feels so different.
In addition, the source of ancient gold in feudal society may not be as rich and stable as modern times. Some dynasties even referred to gold and other metals such as copper and iron as "gold".
Sometimes the so-called hundred or two thousand taels of gold rewarded by feudal emperors to ministers sounds very heroic, but in fact it is likely to be brass or other metals rather than pure gold.
Therefore, it is not easy for pangolins to eat some gold with high purity.
After all, people generally keep gold very well. The pangolin has limited access to gold, so it would be good if he could find some gold ore on weekdays. Not to mention it's a spicy thing. It's a miracle that he can even swallow it.
Of course, for a pangolin that can even bite diamonds, it may be like eating brittle bones.
But for Xu Boan, if this little pangolin can only find gold, it will not be of much use to him.
After all, in Xu Bo'an's opinion, it is enough to have enough money, no matter how much it is, it is just a number, not to mention that the range of the pangolin beast's sensing of these golds seems to be very limited, otherwise it would not have been used before Chen Pingping couldn't sense it in the kitchen. It wasn't until Chen Pingping moved to the restaurant that the pangolin began to sense it. In total, this distance is only about twenty or thirty meters, which is really a bit useless.
Xu Boan immediately called out the bonsai and asked Li Kanshan: "Li Kanshan, do you still have the gold I gave you earlier?"
Li Kanshan looked hurriedly. Weirdly said: "Grandpa Mountain God, that Jinshan was traded to Sun Jiyinlou in exchange for the blue rose stone you asked for. There is nothing left for Xiaomin."
Xu Bo'an felt a little embarrassed. It was really inappropriate to ask for the things I had given away. The other party had already used up the imperial green in order to help me change it. It would really be difficult for the other party to ask for it again.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to use some temporarily, it's no use."
"Grandpa Shanshen, I know that Master Zou Shengsheng, the yellow goods master of Sunji Silver House, has some gold. I have also used some to subsidize the village these days. If it is urgently needed, I can ask Master Zou if I can borrow some."
Well, there is no end to the road!
The gold is coming.
Although it may be a little bit harsh, it is better than breaking one's trust with the Pangolin.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said: "No need, I will just go find him."
Xu Bo'an quickly found Zou Shengsheng, who was carving something carefully with his head down. Something, Xu Boan narrowed his sight to observe, only to realize that Zou Shengsheng was actually carving a gold ornament. It looked like a mountain god statue in a mountain temple.
Generally speaking, gold models are made by casting. Zou Shengsheng's careful carving with one knife after another is very thoughtful.
"Zou Shengsheng, what are you busy with?" Xu Boan asked.
Zou Shengsheng hurriedly replied: "As far as Grandpa Mountain God is concerned, it is a great blessing for the little people to be under the influence of Grandpa Mountain God. It just so happens that the mountain temple is being rebuilt now, so I want to do my little bit to carve it. A pure gold mountain statue is placed in the temple, respected by thousands of people, and offered with incense."
Xu Bo'an was very satisfied when he heard that Zou Shengsheng wanted to recast his golden body. "You are thoughtful!" Xu Bo'an praised.
Although the golden statue carved by Zou Shengsheng is not big, only the size of a palm in his eyes, and just like a sesame seed in Xu Bo'an's eyes, it is not easy for an ordinary person that Zou Shengsheng is willing to use so much gold to carve a statue for himself. .
Since he is a professional yellow goods master, Xu Boan just wanted to verify whether his previous guess was correct.
Xu Bo'an put Chen Pingping's necklace in. Because the window was narrow, Xu Bo'an only stuffed the chain of the gold necklace in and asked: "Just in time, come and help me take a look at these pornographic goods and What’s different about the ones in your hands?”
Soon, Zou Shengsheng saw a long golden rope extending from the window of his room.
The golden rope is quite thick and very long. If you look out carefully, you can't see the tail at all.
Zou Shengsheng saw this and hurriedly took a few steps forward to the gold necklace. He stretched out his hand and touched it carefully. He lowered his head to smell it from time to time, and even wanted to nibble it with his teeth. But this The chain was too thick and smooth for him to put down.
Xu Bo'an felt a little calm after seeing this. After all, gold is relatively soft, so it is secondary to let him take a bite and leave a mark. After all, the little people are small to begin with, and their mouths are slightly smaller. Can't tell either. But if it is contaminated by a man's saliva, it will be too awkward.
Zou Shengsheng said excitedly: "Grandpa Mountain God, this is simply the best yellow goods! This is much better than the yellow goods I have. If Grandpa Mountain God agrees, I want to use this good yellow goods. "I want to make a golden body for Grandpa Mountain God."
Xu Bo'an hurriedly declined: "That's not necessary. I have other uses for this thing. I'll just give you some more in the future."
Zou Shengsheng has been engaged in yellow goods crafts for half his life, and his love for gold is unparalleled. He immediately said excitedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God! If I can get this treasure, I will definitely make one for Grandpa Mountain God one day." The brightest golden statue in the world.”
Good guy, this pie painting is so easy to come by. Your apprentice eats a lot of pie after following you.
"It's easy to say, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Xu Bo'an changed the topic and said: "By the way, you still have extra yellow goods in your hand, so give me some to use first."
Hearing that Grandpa Shan Shen would give him this good yellow goods tomorrow, Zou Shengsheng’s face turned red with excitement. When he heard the second half of Xu Boan’s words, Zou Shengsheng was a little surprised and his expression froze. Call it funny.
Zou Shengsheng gritted his teeth and said: "Going back to Grandpa Shan Shen, I haven't saved much yellow goods over the years. Apart from the piece in my hand, there are only some scraps left. If Grandpa Shan Shen needs it, but Please take them all.”
Xu Boan was about to agree when the phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was his neighbor Lu Yan's call, Xu Bo'an answered the call.
"Brother Xu, are you at home?"
Xu Bo'an responded: "Yes, Brother Lu, what instructions do you have."
Lu Yan smiled and said: "Haha , Don’t take the instructions seriously. I’ll go back right away. I want to sit with you for a while. Is it convenient for you?”
“It’s convenient. Brother Lu is here at any time.”
"Okay, let's make an agreement, I'll be there in a moment."
Because he had to entertain guests, Xu Bo'an put away the bonsai, left the teacup with the pangolin in the bedroom, and went to the living room to wait for Lu Yan's arrival.
Soon, Lu Yan arrived.
He did not come empty-handed. In his hand, he was carrying a beautiful canvas bag. The bag was square and had the exquisite logo and signature of Dongjiang Mining Group printed on it.
"Haha, I happened to get something good today. I thought you might like it, brother, so I brought it to you."
"I came as soon as I came, what else did I bring? ! ”
“This is not an ordinary thing. This is a coal sculpture made by the research center under our mining group. It uses high-quality anthracite coal, which is non-toxic and harmless. Your house should be new. I bought it, but it’s still a little empty. I thought about bringing it to you as a decoration.”
“I just moved here, and I haven’t figured out how to decorate it yet. Thank you, Brother Lu, for thinking about it. "
While Lu Yan was talking, he took out a beautiful square box from the bag. When he opened the box, he revealed a small mountain-shaped coal sculpture fixed on the base.
This coal sculpture is only the size of a palm. In the deep black color of the coal, it reveals a calm and solemn beauty.
The surface texture of the coal sculpture is rich, which should have borrowed the original natural texture of the coal, perfectly expressing the uncanny workmanship of nature.
Although the hill is not big, it has carefully carved out the ups and downs of mountains and rivers and the vertical and horizontal lines of ravines. Those subtle textures shine with a mysterious sheen under the light, making people seem to be able to hear the sound of the mountain wind blowing and the gurgling water.
What’s more worth mentioning is that the details of the coal carvings are handled very finely. The trees and rocks on the mountain peaks are all carved lifelike, as if they are the epitome of nature. And the caves and paths hidden among the mountains are even more amazing.
Xu Bo'an saw it and loved it in his heart. This small mountain-style coal sculpture is not only a work of art, but also a reverence and praise for nature. While admiring it, people can also feel the uncanny craftsmanship and endless charm of nature.
If such a good thing is placed in a bonsai, it will be a miracle!
Xu Bo'an repeatedly praised: "It's amazing, it's really amazing. The intestinal path above can be depicted so clearly and realistically. I like this baby very much, so I won't be polite to you, Brother Lu. This "It's disrespectful to me."
Seeing that he had given the right gift, Lu Yan immediately said happily: "Haha, it's not a treasure, so don't be polite to me. Those who do this are not expensive. If you like it, I will take you to see our research center later. Just ask for whatever style you like."
Xu Boan said with a smile: "Haha, that's true. The boss of the mining company is very impressive. Unlike us who work in engineering, we can only deal with reinforced concrete. "
Lu Yan sighed: "Hey, this is just catching up with the good society. In the Dongfeng Dynasty, my grandfather was born absentee from work. It was really not easy at that time. Not only did he have to cut coal with picks and load coal with shovels, but he also had to carry baskets of coal. Come out.
By the way, I have already arranged for the anthracite you want. They are all clean coal and will be available in a day or two. Remember to ensure the storage location. ”
< br>“I understand, let Brother Lu worry about it.”
"It's nothing, it's just a piece of cake." As he spoke, Lu Yan took out an exquisite leather box from the bag and opened it: "By the way, this is also an artificial diamond developed by our group's research center. It is almost exactly the same as a natural diamond. On the customized pure gold dial, the next step is for us to create a high-end watch comparable to Rolex. You can try it out for us and give us your opinions.”
Open the leather box. A gleaming golden watch was revealed inside.
Good guy, good gold. This is coming.
