Han Peacock carefully stroked the Buddha statue, especially those places where the colors were concentrated, and carefully felt the craftsmanship of the bronze painting. The reason why the colors in these places are so well preserved is because the craftsmen at that time carved the painted layers.

Feeling the unique charm of this Buddha statue, Han Kongque said with a smile: "Do you believe me when I say it's worth more than 100 million?"

Fatty Liu said: "If it's from the Ming Dynasty, I'd still believe it. If it's from the Qing Dynasty, it would be great if it could fetch four to five million."

"Hey, even if it is from the Qing Dynasty, the price of a large-sized Buddha statue is no less than tens of millions. And this Buddha statue is not made of clay. If it were really made of solid clay, it would not be so light. Let me tell you, it is made of copper, and it uses

I have learned the craftsmanship of bronze painting." Han Peacock said with a smile.

"Copper? How is that possible?" Fat Liu came over in disbelief and knocked it gently with his hand. Sure enough, it was not a clay sculpture at all.

"Do you believe it?" Han Peacock said proudly.

Fat Liu looked at the bronze Buddha in surprise. His old man specialized in bronze ware, so even if he was uneducated, he still knew some bronze ware decoration techniques. He had never heard of this bronze ware painting.

"Can there be paintings on bronze vessels?" Fat Liu asked in surprise.

Han Peacock chuckled and said, "When I get home, I'll learn from your master. The technique of painting bronzes has been around since the Shang Dynasty. The most famous painted bronzes are the painted bronze carriages in the Mausoleum of King Qin."

"You picked up a big leak again? You said your luck is too bad, right? How many times have you picked up a leak recently?" Fat Liu looked at Han Peacock with envy and hatred, and almost gritted his teeth.

.

Han Peacock smiled: "This Buddha statue must not have been there for a day or two. But no one took a second look at it. He said that the people in that store, they work there every day and have looked at it for so long,

I didn’t think of anything else. This is my skill. Treasures are prepared for those who are prepared. This is why the virtuous will live in the treasures.”

"I think a virtuous person stole it, right? People like you are the biggest thieves of the country." Fat Liu said.

Han Kongque said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you."

"Xiao Han, you said that your luck has been very good recently. Now the gap between us is really too big. You have made a fortune, and you don't want to help your Brother Liu." Fat Liu said that Han Peacock has not been with him recently.

He was a little bit complaining.

Han Kongque thought that he had indeed had less contact with Fat Liu recently. So he immediately said: "There is a big operation in the past two days. If you are willing to participate, I will count you as a share."

"A big operation? Can there be a big operation on Taobao? You don't know which one to go to, right?" Fat Liu made a gesture of digging a hole.

Han Kongque said: "I want to do this, but I am not digging other people's ancestral graves, but looking for some works of art. Don't ask too many questions now, you will know when the time comes. Sometimes, getting rich overnight is not very easy."

Difficult things.”

"Is such a good thing really possible?" Fat Liu asked doubtfully.

Han Kongque said: "Forget it if you don't believe it."

"Believe, believe that the Korean peacock will live forever. This sentence is my motto. When will the action start?" Fat Liu said.

Han Peacock smiled and said: "In the past few days, I have been watching your performance. If you perform well, you friends can participate. After all, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun together."

"Are all your friends participating? It seems like the action this time is not small!" Fat Liu said.

"Of course." Han Kongque said.

Fatty Liu said: "Why don't you give me a hint in advance on how to perform well so that I can have more opportunities then. If you can tell me some details of the action in advance and let me prepare early, I can get more benefits then.

"

"Well, my brother is getting married recently, and he will come to have a wedding banquet then! I won't send you invitations. As for the rest, don't think about it. If I tell you now, maybe nothing will happen to me.

" Han Peacock said.

Fat Liu said contemptuously: "If you want a gift, just say so. Since you said so, I will definitely show it when the time comes."

"I don't mean that. Even if you don't bring any gifts, can I still kick you out?" Han Kongque said with a smile.

Fat Liu said: "I don't have the nerve to eat and drink for free. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a big red envelope."

"Then I can rest assured. You must know that I have prepared a lot of recipes. The gift money is too small, and I can't even get the food money back." Han Kongque said.

Fat Liu said: "I won't tell you more, I'd better go home! However, your house is really well decorated. Which decoration company did you find to decorate it?"

Han Peacock looked at some of the furniture placed in the room, and then looked at the entire room. He couldn't help but feel that they didn't match.

The furniture at home, in addition to some simple sofas and the like that the real estate company originally placed here during the simple decoration, now also has some kitchen utensils, which are just some gas stoves and used pots and stoves.

I think Han Rongrong should have brought these things up. These things have nothing to do with the luxurious chandeliers and high-quality wallpapers.

Seeing the teasing expression on Fat Liu's face, Han Kongque knew that this boy was making fun of him.

"The house has just been renovated and I haven't bought any furniture yet. If you are free tomorrow, help me move the furniture." Han Kongque said, looking at the somewhat empty house.

"No time." Fat Liu answered quickly. He must not have time to ask for work.

"I have some prawns here, do you want to eat them? You must be out of time, so I'll give them to you," Han Kongque said.

Fatty Liu said: "I'm free. I was free when I helped you work just now. Will I be free now that I'm eating?"

Han Peacock laughed, but he was really a little hungry. In the afternoon at the fish house, he just held Liu Catkin in his arms to let her sleep well. He didn't eat much at all.

"Wait a minute, I'll just make some food." Han Kongque said, and then walked into the study room he had prepared. Now there were no books or bookshelves in the study room. Instead, there was a set of kitchen utensils. It seemed that he needed to lock it.

The door is closed.

Han Guangrong tidied up the lower floor very well, but the upper floor that Han Kongque wanted to use became a garbage disposal station, and everything was dumped here.

Han Kongque discovered some materials in this temporary kitchen, so he took out a large pot of crayfish from Xuanyuan Water Flag and wanted to make a pot of spicy crayfish.

Now the crayfish in the Korean Peacock Xuanyuan Water Control Flag are almost overrun. Due to sufficient food, the crayfish grows very quickly and has strong adaptability. Its food range includes aquatic plants, algae, and aquatic insects.

dead animals, etc., and also kill each other when food is scarce.

Crayfish in the outside world are very dirty, but inside Han Peacock's Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, they are not dirty at all.

As Han Kongque practiced that ancient qigong, his control over the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag became more and more powerful. Now the water world in the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag has been clearly divided by him into two parts. One part.

It's fresh water and part of it is sea water.

He raised crayfish in a freshwater environment. Now there are a few catfish in the freshwater, and the others are carp, grass carp, silver carp, freshwater crabs, grass shrimp, etc.

Since this freshwater sea area was isolated for a short period of time, there is not as much water as seawater. Therefore, there are not many things cultivated in it. There is simply no complete ecological environment like that of the saltwater sea area.

Even the freshwater fish and shrimp inside were not long taken in by Han Peacock, especially those catfish, which he had just gotten in from Qianjiajiao.

Although the catfish in the iron pot is more delicious, it is more difficult to sit up, and it takes more time to process the catfish, so Han Kongque still chose crayfish.

Add water to the pot, add crayfish until the water boils, the lobster turns reddish, take out and drain the water, clean the pot and heat it, add cooking oil until it is 50% hot, add spices, star anise, green onions, cinnamon, ginger, angelica and white peony.

Stir-fry kombu, grass fruit, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili until fragrant. Add crayfish and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and beer and continue to stir-fry for 5 minutes. Add boiling water and bring to a boil over high heat.

After the water boils, add chili essence, garlic, and salt, turn to medium-low heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then add sugar and oyster sauce and stir-fry for 2 minutes to reduce the juice, then remove from the pot.

Since the materials are readily available, Han Peacock can sit up very quickly.

Both Han Kongque and Fat Liu were good eaters. A large pot of spicy crayfish was eaten by the two of them while drinking a little wine.

Han Peacock said some useless words to Fat Liu and had to deal with his temptations all the time. When Fat Liu lost his patience, Han Peacock sent him away.

Of course, Fat Liu did not forget the money he spent to buy Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Thirty thousand yuan had already been transferred to him.

After sending Fat Liu away, Han Kongque studied the painted King Kong for a while before lying on the bed.

Lying in bed, Han Peacock couldn't sleep, and began to perfect his big operation in his heart. This big operation was naturally about cherishing wood. After such a long time of preparation, Han Peacock had already prepared all the work.

, it’s just a matter of final action.

The coverage this time was relatively wide. Even if Han Kongque had prepared for so long, he could not completely cover all the targets found. Therefore, some places that he was unable to touch could only be assigned to others to complete.

In fact, Han Peacock's idea is very simple. Among other things, the golden nanmu hidden deep in the mountains of Sichuan Province in China is gone now, but the ancient emperors cut it down from there.

At that time, transportation was inconvenient and tools were simple. After many loggers cut down the golden nanmu, they usually transported the wood out of the mountains by water. If there were no big rivers around, they could only use manual lifting. Therefore, this kind of work was

They were all filled with human lives.

Because transportation was extremely difficult, it was impossible for the lumberjacks at that time to dig out the entire golden nanmu tree. The difficulty in transportation was only one aspect. If the wood carried a huge root system, it didn't matter.

Known to be more difficult to transport.

In addition to this aspect, weight is another problem. If water transportation is required, the trees can easily get caught in the water if the roots are carried. Therefore, when logging in the mountains, the trees are usually cut off from the roots.

The most important thing to note is the part of the tree stump that remains underground.

Maybe the stumps of trees cut down in modern times have been dug out, or maybe in the past generations, people around the area where golden nanmu was produced have dug out some of the stumps, but it doesn't matter.

As long as Han Kongque's speculation is correct, there must be many tree stumps hidden underground by now. Han Kongque now wants to invite people, a large number of people, to dig out all the tree stumps hidden in the mountains.

Han Peacock had already thought of the excuse, root carving, and he just wanted to collect the materials for root carving.

As for the villagers living in some remote mountains, a large part of them don't know anything about golden nanmu. Of course, not many people can recognize huanghuali and the like.

Despite this, Han Peacock still made perfect preparations.

Before going into the mountains to announce his mission, he would conduct a secret investigation to determine whether the locals knew these precious woods. Only when he was sure that they did not, could Han Peacock invite the locals to participate in the operation.

It is because of this that this operation has some uncertainties. However, as long as something can be gained, any problem can be solved.

Korean Peacock's target is of course the most important small-leaf red sandalwood, golden nanmu, and rosewood. The best quality small-leaf red sandalwood is found in India, the Philippines, and the Philippines, where the chicken blood red sandalwood is the most precious among the small-leaf red sandalwood.

Among them, the red sandalwood produced in India, Mysore, and Erbang is the best. This kind of area is definitely the place that Korean Peacock focuses on.

Of course, people in places like this are definitely more concerned about small-leaf red sandalwood, so they need to take some special measures, such as hiring residents from some remote and poor mountain villages to dig.

Those who can get to know the small-leaf red sandalwood generally have some economic foundation. If you find people whose information is extremely backward and whose lives are even more embarrassing, to help Korean peacocks dig tree stumps in the mountains, there will definitely be many people willing to do it.
