After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 379 Xu Boan’s Method
After a quick glance at the surrounding environment, Xu Boan soon focused his attention on the treasure cave that he had discovered earlier, which was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
In the cave, countless gold, silver and jewels left by the former beams were still lying quietly. This place was safe enough for Xu Boan, so he had never moved.
Xu Bo'an searched for a while and took out thirty gold bars as thick as fingers. Then he took a quick look at the little guys in Kaoshan Village who were busy working in an orderly manner, looking for Jin Dajian.
After a while, Xu Bo'an found Jin Dajian carving a wooden screen near the mountain temple.
Xu Boan greeted, "Jin Dajian, I need you to do something."
Jin Dajian knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, just give the order. I am waiting for you."
Xu Bo'an ordered, "I asked you to save a piece of yellow rosewood that was as tall as a person for me. Do you remember?"
"Huanghuali wood?" Jin Dajian was stunned and muttered in confusion.
Xu Boan then remembered that there is no such thing as huanghuali wood in the bonsai world. What they call huanghuali wood is agarwood.
Xu Boan changed the subject and said, "It's the wood from the agarwood tree you found earlier. Do you remember it?"
Jin Dajian suddenly realized, and said, "I remember, I remember, I understand. The piece of agarwood has been placed in your temple as you ordered, at the back wall of the hall."
Xu Bo'an glanced into the mountain temple and saw the rosewood placed against the wall, with some rattan strips carefully used as a base. It can be said that Jin Dajian was very attentive in his work.
Xu Bo'an instructed, "Okay, I see. Now I need you to use that agarwood to make a small box. It should be just enough to put thirty gold bars like this. It doesn't have to be too elaborate. Just finish it before dark today."
As he spoke, Xu Boan handed one of the gold bars to Jin Dajian.
The moment Jin Dajian saw the gold bar, he was stunned for a moment.
Although his name contains the word "Jin", Jin Dajian has never seen gold bars in his life, let alone so many of them.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this thing is definitely a symbol of endless wealth.
Given the current economic environment and consumption level in Dajing Dynasty, an average person cannot spend all of this gold bar in his entire lifetime. Therefore, who would not be confused when seeing this thing?
However, Jin Dajian quickly came back to his senses, his eyes became much clearer, Xu Bo'an nodded in satisfaction, and then he heard Jin Dajian say: "Grandpa Mountain God, I understand.
It's just that the wood of the agarwood tree you have now has not been completely dried, so it's not suitable for making objects. If the Mountain God allows, I can use some of the remaining agarwood from making other furniture to make the wooden box you want. What do you think?"
Xu Boan is not picky about this. As long as it is high-value wood like rosewood, it will be fine. Otherwise, it would be a bit mismatched to put so many gold bars in a broken box, and it would not be convenient for Xu Boan to implement his plan.
Xu Bo'an nodded immediately and said, "No problem, just come wherever you want, as long as you give it to me before dark."
Jin Dajian promised, "Don't worry, Grandpa Mountain God. This wooden box is not big, so it won't take that long. It will be finished in about half an hour, and at most another hour for some finishing. Then it will be finished and delivered to you."
Xu Bo'an said calmly: "Okay, then when you're done, call me."
Jin Dajian nodded in agreement several times, and Xu Boan's sight left the bonsai world.
After waiting for a while, Jin Dajian stood up when he saw that the mountain god didn't say anything else.
Jin Dajian immediately found a small piece of wood, and then used a carving knife and a saw to carve a one-to-one replica of the gold bar Xu Boan gave him, and then put the gold bar Xu Boan gave him close to his body.
Then Jin Dajian shouted and called over the two apprentices he had been training during this period.
Jin Dajian handed the "wooden gold bar" he had just made a one-to-one replica to his two apprentices and said, "You two, make 29 small wooden blocks of the same size as soon as possible. Be quick and give them to me when you are done."
The reason why Jin Dajian didn't give the gold bars to the two of them to compare was that he was worried that the two little disciples were too young and wouldn't be able to control themselves when they saw this thing.
After all, gold bars are something that is enough to arouse the greed of ordinary people, so it is better not to test them.
Sometimes, for a person, not giving him the opportunity to make mistakes is the best protection for him.
Soon, the two apprentices took the wooden blocks and left.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when his two apprentices were making wooden blocks, Jin Dajian also selected a suitable piece of board.
After the two apprentices brought the wooden blocks over, Jin Dajian stacked the thirty wooden blocks neatly several times, and then he figured out the best placement and shape, as well as the length, width and height of the wooden box.
With accurate data, it was very easy to make this wooden box. Jin Dajian did it himself and made the rough box in no time. Then, he asked his apprentice to polish it with a plant called sedge. He also invited Chen Shishi to draw some patterns on the wooden box, and then used red-hot iron wire to burnish it little by little, and finally got a wooden box with exquisite appearance.
Xu Boan had just taken a shower and rested in bed for a while when he heard Jin Dajian calling him from inside the bonsai.
"I am Jin Dajian, respectfully requesting the mountain god to show himself to me."
Xu Bo'an looked into the mountain temple and saw Jin Dajian kneeling respectfully in front of the incense table, holding a wooden box in his hands, waiting for him to show up.
The box is carefully crafted from uncarved logs, retaining the most rustic texture and color of the tree. Every grain of wood carries stories and secrets of the mountains and forests.
The box body is not decorated with paint, showing a warm and simple beauty, which reminds people of the first ray of warm sunshine in the woods in the early morning, which is warm but not dazzling.
On the lid of the box, there is a simple yet elegant painting, which looks like a clear stream without ripples, reflecting the purity and tranquility of the soul.
Although this painting is made up of only a few simple strokes, it seems to give life to the wooden box. At a glance, one can feel the extraordinary artistic charm and the harmonious beauty of nature in the ordinary.
Xu Boan was quite satisfied and praised: "Not bad, Jin Dajian, I was right about you, you are very good."
Jin Dajian said modestly, "Thank you for your praise, Grandpa Mountain God. I am deeply honored. Do you think this box is to your liking? If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please let me know and I will make corrections immediately."
Xu Boan took a quick look and was very satisfied, so he said, "No need, this box is very well made, much better than I imagined, you have worked hard."
Jin Dajian said hurriedly: "Grandpa Mountain God, it is my honor to share your worries."
Xu Boan smiled and said, "Okay, bring the things here." As he spoke, Xu Boan reached out his hand and took out the wooden box from Jin Dajian's hand.
After taking it out into the real world, Xu Boan quickly enlarged the wooden box. The size of the box was about the size of two pencil cases put together.
Gently opening the lid, Xu Boan saw his gold bar lying alone inside. To say it was alone was not quite right, as there were 29 pieces of wood similar in size to the gold bar placed inside.
"Jin Dajian is such a thoughtful person! Very good." Xu Bo'an praised silently.
After watching for a while, Xu Boan heard a knock on the door.
Xu Boan hurriedly shrunk the wooden box again and put it back into the mountain temple of the Bonsai World.
When I opened the door, I saw a tall woman in a professional suit and black stockings standing outside. She introduced herself politely, "Hello, Mr. Xu. I am the manager of our room service department. Our boss invited you to dine on the top floor. I have been ordered to pick you up. Do you think it is convenient for you to leave now, or wait a little longer to pack up?"
Xu Bo'an never cared about his appearance. Apart from brushing his teeth, he usually only spent three seconds washing his face.
"Let's go now. Lead the way." Xu Boan said.
The waiter smiled and said, "Hello, please come this way."
Soon, Xu Boan came to the top floor under the guidance of the waiter.
Shi Heng was standing in front of a French window nearby. When he heard the noise, he looked over. The moment he saw Xu Boan, Shi Heng smiled and said, "Doctor Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Bo'an glanced at the sumptuous feast on the table, wondering whether he should take some for the little creatures in the bonsai to taste these modern meals.
However, Xu Boan still did not do so. After all, there is a risk of revealing the golden finger. When it is convenient later, he will improve the food for the little ones.
After a while, Ouyang Najie also came and sat next to Xu Boan naturally.
The one who came later was the Sali soldier. This boy's hair was not dry yet. Apparently he was busy washing up when he received the news and did not expect to encounter such an emergency.
Dinner started quickly, and it was quite lively with several people toasting each other.
Shi Heng seemed a little drunk, but he held Xu Bo'an's hand and persuaded him, "Brother Xu, don't be impulsive. This is not easy to handle. You have to wait for an opportunity to be scolded.
Xu Boan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own way. I will outsmart you and won't cause any trouble. But I will have to borrow your name when the time comes."
Shi Heng said magnanimously: "We are all brothers, no need to say such polite words!"
Ouyang Najie on the side said with some concern, "Boan, why don't I apply for a year's leave of absence first, so that the other party will forget about my existence, and then I will apply to this school again."
Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said, "You can't delay your studies. Don't worry, just wait for my good news!"
Both the host and the guests were happy during the meal.
As night fell, Xu Bo'an drove the broken van away from Chinatown.
As soon as he left Chinatown, Xu Boan found that two cars were following him closely.
A smile appeared on Xu Bo'an's lips.
As expected, the Green Leaf Family is one of the three major families. With a population of more than two million in the entire Cui City and countless hiding places, they can still find themselves easily.
However, after they found me, they did not dare to act rashly and just stood guard at the entrance of Chinatown. This also shows that Huashu Group does have a certain strength in Cuicheng City. At least the Green Leaf Family is not willing to confront Huashu Group head-on.
Xu Bo'an was not driving very fast. When he drove into a small alley, he was stopped by several burly men.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Bo'an asked with a fake look of fear after getting out of the car.
The man who stopped the car had deep wrinkles on his head, like a Shar Pei dog, and said, "What are you doing? Humph, you kid, who have you offended or what have you done wrong? Don't you know what's going on?"
Xu Boan said pretentiously: "I don't know, are you...are you robbing?"
The big man shouted impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, brothers, take him away."
"Don't come over here!" Xu Bo'an said tremblingly while holding the box.
The big man laughed cheerfully and said, "Hey, you were so tough before, why are you so cowardly now? Don't be like this, young man. I still like your arrogant and domineering appearance.
When Xu Boan saw the two men surrounding him, he immediately showed a trace of panic and said, "No, you can't steal my money, this is my stuff."
The big man said impatiently, "You are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about! You'd better come with us obediently, otherwise don't blame us for accidentally injuring you when we try to deal with you."
Xu Boan stopped talking nonsense and immediately ran away with the box in his arms. The men immediately chased after him.
But how could they outrun Xu Boan? Even though he was carrying a lot of gold, Xu Boan was still running far ahead. In order to avoid being overtaken by them, he even slowed down a little. This gave them some illusion and confidence, making them feel that they could catch up with him if they tried harder, so that these people would not give up.
Soon, Xu Boan ran to a busy street and slowed down even more.
Those people were getting closer and closer to Xu Boan and were about to catch up with him. Xu Boan seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet and accidentally stumbled and almost fell.
Although he tried hard to keep his balance and staggered a few steps, he managed to avoid falling.
However, he failed to hold the box in his arms firmly and it fell to the ground.
The wooden box, which contained gold bars, fell on the hard ground and broke into pieces instantly.
The thirty gold bars inside suddenly scattered out, shining brightly and dazzlingly, making people feel itchy at the sight.
The next moment, it was not known whether Xu Boan did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he staggered and kicked the box. In an instant, the gold bars in the box were kicked everywhere by Xu Boan.
The eyes of those passing by were immediately attracted by the glittering gold bars. Xu Boan saw with his own eyes that those passers-by were instantly excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They immediately crowded over, stretched out their hands towards the gold, picked up the gold and put it in their pockets.
It’s good to pick it up, but I’m afraid you won’t pick it up, otherwise, it will be difficult to implement our plan, Lao Xu.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an smiled slightly. (End of this chapter)
