After the divorce, I became a mountain god

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."

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.

"Can't wait, can't wait!" the pangolin muttered like a talker, completely different from Xu Bo'an's reserved and silly look when he first met this little guy.

As the Pangolin spoke, 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 Bo'an 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 taste the same at all." Pangolin explained hurriedly.

"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 from Bonsai before, and it looked exactly like the gold he had seen in the real world.

Moreover, 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 Bo'an thought of this, he suddenly remembered that he had dropped a gold ring for Li Qingshi and the others. He could just take that thing out and give it to this little guy to try.

Let me just say, the mountain man has his own clever plan! Here comes the brilliant idea.

Pangolin tried his best to explain: "It's really different. The gold I ate before, how should I say? I always felt something was wrong. Although the gold tasted like gold before, it tasted very spicy, and I just didn't think it was good enough. When you eat it, it seems like there are a lot of impurities in it.”

Hot throat! My dear, you are quite a picky eater.

But I heard the impurities said by Pangolin! Xu Boan instantly understood the problem.

If there are impurities in gold, doesn't that mean that the gold is not pure enough?

Thinking of this, 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 remembered that he had learned when he was in school that ancient gold purification technology was relatively primitive, so the purity of gold was often low, perhaps 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, it's no wonder that the pangolin beast feels very different.

In addition, the source of gold in ancient feudal society may not be as abundant and stable as in 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 to find some gold ore on weekdays. Not to mention that it is harsh on the throat, it is a miracle that it can be swallowed. .

Of course, for a pangolin that can even bite diamonds, it may be like eating brittle bones.

But for Xu Bo'an, if this little pangolin can only find gold, it won't be of much use to him.

After all, in Xu Bo'an's opinion, as long as you have enough money, it's just a number. What's more, the pangolin's sensing range of gold seems to be very limited, otherwise Chen Pingping wouldn't be able to sense it in the kitchen before. It wasn't until Chen Pingping moved to the restaurant that the pangolin beast sensed it. Calculating this distance is only about twenty or thirty meters, which is really a bit useless.

Xu Bo'an immediately called out the bonsai and asked Li Kanshan: "Li Kanshan, do you still have the gold I gave you earlier?"

Li Kanshan hurriedly said with a strange look on his face: "Grandpa Mountain God, the gold mountain was traded to Sun Ji Yinlou in exchange for the blue rose stone you asked for. There is nothing left for Xiaomin."

Xu Bo'an felt a little embarrassed, thinking that it would be inappropriate to ask for the things he had given away. The other party had already used up the imperial green in order to help him change it, so it would be really difficult for him to ask for it again.

"It's okay, I just want to use some temporarily without having to poop."

"Grandpa Mountain God, I know that Master Zou Shengsheng, the master of yellow goods in Sunji Yinlou, has some gold. He used some to supplement the village a few days ago. If it is urgently needed, I can ask Master Zou if he can borrow some. ”

Well, there is no end to the road!

Gold is coming soon.

Although it may sound a little 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 Boan quickly found Zou Shengsheng. Zou Shengsheng was carving something carefully with his head lowered. Xu Boan narrowed his eyes and observed, only to realize that Zou Shengsheng was actually carving a gold ornament. It looked like it was from a mountain temple. Mountain statue.

Generally speaking, gold models are made by casting, and Zou Shengsheng's careful carving is very thoughtful.

"Zou Shengsheng, what are you busy with?" Xu Bo'an asked.

Zou Shengsheng hurriedly replied: "As for Grandpa Mountain God, it is a great blessing for me to be under the protection of Grandpa Mountain God. Now that the mountain temple is being rebuilt, I want to do my best to carve a pure gold statue of the mountain god and place it there." In the temple, he is respected by thousands of people and worshiped with incense.”

Xu Boan was very satisfied when he heard that Zou Shengsheng wanted to recast his golden body. "You are thoughtful!" Xu Bo'an praised.

Although the gold 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 to carve a statue for himself with so much gold. .

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 put the chain of the gold necklace in and asked: "It's just right. Come and help me see if these yellow goods are the same as the ones you have." What's different."

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 carefully outside, 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 chew it with his teeth, but this chain was too hard for him. It was too thick and smooth, and it was impossible to eat it.

Seeing this, Xu Bo'an felt a little calm. After all, gold is relatively soft, so it is secondary for him to leave a mark when he takes a bite. After all, the little people are small to begin with, and their mouths are just a little bit tiny, so they can't be seen with a bite. 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 to pay tribute to Grandpa Mountain God." Make a golden body.”

Xu Boan 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 make one of the brightest statues in the world for Grandpa Mountain God." 's golden statue.

Good guy, this pie painting is so easy to come by. Your apprentice eats a lot of pie after following you.

"It's easy. I'll give it to you tomorrow." Xu Bo'an changed the topic and said, "By the way, you still have some extra yellow goods on hand. Give me some to use first."

Hearing that Grandpa Shan Shen would give him the best yellow goods tomorrow, Zou Shengsheng's face turned red with excitement. When he heard the second half of Xu Bo'an's words, Zou Shengsheng was a little surprised and his expression froze, which was called 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, I only have some leftovers. If Grandpa Shan Shen needs it, please take all of it." ”

Xu Bo'an 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, do you have any instructions?"

Lu Yan smiled and said: "Haha, don't take the instructions seriously. I will go back right away. I want to sit with you for a while. Is it convenient for you to watch me for a while?"

"It's convenient. Brother Lu is here. It's convenient at any time."

"Okay, let's make an agreement then. I'll be there in a moment."

Because he had to entertain guests, Xu Bo'an put away the bonsai, left the tea cup 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."

"Come here, what else do you 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. You must have just bought this house, and it is still a bit 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 natural texture that originally existed on 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 was not only a work of art, but also a reverence and praise for nature. While admiring it, people can also feel the uncanny workmanship 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 on it can be depicted so clearly and realistically. I like this baby very much. Then I won't be polite to you, Brother Lu. I will be disrespectful to this thing." ”

Seeing that he had given the right gift, Lu Yan immediately said happily: "Haha, it's not a treasure. Don't be polite to me. This is what we do. It's not expensive. If you like it, come back." I’ll take you to see our research center. Just ask if you like anything.”

Xu Bo'an smiled and said: "Haha, he is indeed the boss of a mining company. He 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 and catching up with the east wind. My grandfather was born absentee from work in his generation. It was really not easy at that time. Not only did he have to cut coal with pickaxe , shovel after shovel is loaded with coal, and coal has to be carried out basket by basket.

By the way, having said that, 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. "

"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. Inlaid 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!”

The leather box is opened. A gleaming golden watch was revealed inside.

Good guy, good gold. This is coming.
