"If no one puts forward any opinions, I will assume that everyone has approved my painting. I wonder what Mr. Wang will say now?" Han Kongque thought of Jiang Lin's words. The faces of these old guys just needed a beating, waiting to be beaten by him.
When the swelling becomes swollen, they will automatically become fat, so there is no need for them to inject themselves to look fat.
"Young man, you have to be merciful and merciful. Isn't this going too far?" Xu Xiangshan said with a gloomy face.
Han Kongque said: "You have to forgive others and forgive them? Too much? This sentence sounds familiar? I have heard a few sentences, such as relying on the old and betraying the old, such as repaying debts as a matter of course, and Zhou Lang's clever plan.
In the world, losing your wife and losing your troops, and refusing to admit your debt to the death, etc., our teacher taught us all these things when we were in elementary school."
"Haha, I know Brother Han is not a good person. I like bad people the most." Ouyang Long is still so good at attracting hatred. Lao Wang, who was originally said to have a murderous look by Han Kongque, now directly uses his eyes that can kill people.
, stabbed Ouyang Long.
But Ouyang Long just shrugged coolly and looked back with his cold eyes. Such an old man who was half buried in the earth really couldn't threaten a playboy like him.
"I've never seen Zhou Lang's clever plan to settle the world, but he lost his wife and lost his troops. I saw it several times tonight." Seeing Wang Guishan reluctantly give the Zigang card to Han Peacock, Ouyang Long
He suddenly laughed again.
This Wang Guishan had the air of a master just now, but now he has turned into a nagging, procrastinating, and difficult to part with good fortune. Not to mention Ouyang Long despises such a person, even Gao Dashan and Xu Xiangshan can't stand it.
.
In the end, Han Peacock took the Zigang tablet in his hand. Han Peacock looked at the square jade tablet as white as fat with a smile. On one side were fairy peaches, longevity stars, boys, small bridges and flowing water, and white geese.
Looking at the scene above, you can hardly imagine that such a small jade plaque can be carved with so many things. Such skills are much better than those of Han Peacock.
The craftsmanship of this sign is exquisite, the picture is beautiful, the fonts are graceful, the shape is very regular, and the jade material is also good, it is definitely mutton-fat white jade.
Such a thing is definitely a treasure. And this Zigang plate is much more precious than ordinary jade carvings. Although there are many Zigang plates on the market now, the genuine one is unique.
Everyone knows about the Zigang Jade Tablet in the collection circle, and everyone dreams of getting it. This has triggered a large number of imitations of the Zigang Jade Tablet in later generations. It is difficult for collectors to distinguish the authenticity of the Zigang Jade Tablet, especially the Zigang Jade Tablet.
The Kunwu knife skills are even more confusing.
If you want to receive a genuine Zigang jade tablet, identifying the authenticity becomes an important problem in collecting Zigang jade tablets. Han Peacock didn’t want to capsize in the gutter, so after getting the Zigang jade tablet, he started to check it carefully.
, if he is deceived by the old guy Wang Guishan, he will be in great disgrace. With Wang Guishan's character, he might really be able to do such a thing.
Therefore, Han Kongque looked very carefully. If you want to identify the Zigang Jade Brand, you must first understand who the founder of the Zigang Jade Brand, Lu Zigang, is, as well as his three major elements of jade selection principles, jade carving skills, and work characteristics.
Only then can the authenticity and specific age of the Zigang jade plaque be identified.
Lu Zigang was born in the Jiajing Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Suzhou became one of the centers of jade carving in China. Lu Zigang moved to Suzhou. He made a living entirely by carving jade and became an important master figure at that time and even in the history of Chinese jade carving.
All the jade articles he carved throughout his life were engraved with the inscription "Zigang" or "Zigang". This habit of his and his arrogant and stubborn character also became a hidden danger for the tragedy of his final life.
Legend has it that Lu Zigang became famous for carving jade with the Kunwu knife, and Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty summoned Lu Zigang to the palace.
In order to test his jade carving skills, he was given a small plain jade finger and asked to carve a picture of a hundred horses on it.
It was difficult to carve a hundred horses on such a small finger. However, after Lu Zi had just received the order and thought about it, he carved a mountain, carved a city on the side of the mountain, and then carved a hidden head at the city gate.
A galloping horse entering the city gate is exposed.
Between the mountains and the city gate, another horse was carved, galloping towards the city gate. Finally, behind the horse, another horse was carved, protruding at the mouth of the valley, hiding in the valley, and carved on this valley.
A few knives symbolize dusty curves.
Suddenly, a grand picture of hundreds of horses that have entered the city, and countless horses neighing and running in the valley, about to enter the city, appeared on the small thumbnail (there is also a version of the horse leaving the city).
After seeing it, Emperor Wanli was convinced of his talent and rewarded him.
Later, Emperor Wanli asked him to carve a jade pot. Since Lu Zigang had become a habit of carving jade and inscribing it with inscriptions, he played a clever trick and slipped the "Leggang" inscription into the spout of the jade pot. Later, the emperor discovered it and made him angry.
He deceived the emperor and beheaded Lu Zigang as a warning. From then on, his unique Kunwu sword skills disappeared with him.
Lu Zigang has very strict principles before carving jade, that is, he is very strict about the selection of raw materials. Only the jade can be selected if it is of the highest quality, good color (consistent color), and good texture.
Then he made a very careful conception and design based on the characteristics of the raw materials and the shape. Therefore, Zigang jade, which is generally not of good quality, is almost all imitations of later generations.
Of course, to have good jade, you must also have good skills. Lu Zigang not only became a master of jade carving because of his superb skills, but more importantly, he was also an art master who knew both calligraphy and painting.
He often uses virtual reality and yin and yang techniques to carve out grand spaces and spectacular scenes in small spaces. Especially in the details that most people don't pay attention to, he also puts a lot of effort into them. He never slacks off in the slightest and strives for excellence in art.
Just like this small jade plaque carved by Lu Zigang, this plaque is four centimeters wide and six centimeters high. In such a square inch, a picture is carved with several noble figures, boys, landscapes, trees, small bridges, flowing water and water.
The swans play in the water, the current is fast and the waves are stirred up. It is also equipped with pavilions and pavilions and white clouds.
The composition is complex, the artistic conception is profound, and the layout is reasonable. Even the emotion of the water flowing under the bridge is vivid in the picture. The expressions, movements, clothing patterns, and lines of the characters are all vividly carved. Even a famous painter needs to work hard to paint on paper.
And for that.
And Lu Zigang actually used a Kunwu knife to carve a Chinese painting on such a small jade plaque so vividly. It is truly a miracle.
On the back, a Kunwu knife was also used to carve out a sentence: "Xizhi loves geese and immortals gather together, and the country is infinitely good." The difficulty of the font is also comparable to that of calligraphy masters, and the conception is extraordinary.
The value of such a jade tablet is immeasurable. It was estimated at 10 million just now, which is probably an underestimate. No wonder Wang Guishan was so reluctant to hand over this jade tablet.
Of course, this was his own fault and he was overconfident. He thought that since Han Peacock couldn't draw, he had already won, and with this, he could get a bronze cicada ring of immeasurable value. This was a sure win no matter how it was considered.
No compensation.
But today, he lost his wife and lost his troops. Of course, the idea he, Zhou Lang, proposed to Xu Xiangshan did not achieve the goal of An Tianxia. In the future, private museums will inevitably rise, which they can no longer stop.
Han Kongque carefully observed Lu Zigang's Kunwu knife skills. The more he watched, the more brilliant he became. You know, Lu Zigang did not turn jade powder into powder. He was able to carve so many patterns on a piece of jade. It was enough to see that his skills were impressive.
How superb.
"Brother Han, if you look at this jade plaque like this, it can't be fake, right?" Ouyang Long came closer and was also looking at the square jade plaque.
Han Kongque said: "If this is false, then it is not true."
"You have to be careful. There are so many fake Zigang products now, and you may be deceived if you are not careful." Ouyang Long ignored Wang Guishan's old face that had turned green and directly began to doubt his character.
"You can pull it down! I think it's cooler over there. Go over there and cool off. Don't make trouble here. But, Xiao Han, this thing is too valuable after all, so you still have to take a good look." Chen Jiayi came over, of course.
In the end, he didn't forget to add insult to injury. Who told these old guys not to give him face?
Although Han Kongque has never been exposed to the Zigang Pavilion, he is no stranger to the Zigang Pavilion. After all, every jade carver cannot ignore the existence of Lu Zigang.
Therefore, he still has a deep memory of the characteristics of the Zigang brand. No one can match this or that carving skill.
It is not difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. The long lines carved in the traditional jade carving process are generally slightly deeper and wider when the knife is inserted, and slightly shallower and narrower when the knife is withdrawn. The Kunwu knife is the same when the knife is inserted and the knife is withdrawn.
The depth and width.
The knife technique was completely cut with an extremely hard but slightly blunt tool, which also verified the possibility that many later generations speculated that the Kunwu knife was made of diamond.
Without a good knife, it is almost impossible to carve finely on hard jade.
When engraving short lines using traditional craftsmanship, a point weight is used instead of cutting, so the line is deep and wide in the middle and shallow and narrow on both sides: the Kunwu knife has the same depth and width.
The lines carved by traditional craftsmanship are V-shaped; the lines carved by Kunwu knife are basically the same width, narrow and deep, and are U-shaped.
This all shows the sharpness of his Kunwu knife. Without such a knife, even modern machinery would generally carve a V-shaped line when encountering a turning point, and would not carve a U-shaped line.
.
Modern imitations are basically carved with modern high-speed tools, so the lines the knife passes through are too smooth, but appear stiff and lack a sense of roundness, and there are chipping phenomena on both sides of the knife edge line to varying degrees.
Because the purpose of those who make imitations is to make profits, and because of their eagerness for quick success and quick success, they cannot carve carefully with a calm mood like the ancients. The carved works are vulgar and have no charm, making people uncomfortable at first sight, and have no simple and elegant style.
.
Modern imitations are carved by modern people, so they will inevitably incorporate the aesthetic taste of modern people into the works, without any traces of historical style. This is easier for people who understand the history of ancient and modern Chinese arts and crafts to distinguish from this point.
Authenticity.
There is also a kind of current people who use CNC engraving machines and ultrasonic technology to imitate Zigang jade tablets. Although they are very beautiful, they lack the ancient charm and patina. The traces carved by mechanical high-speed tools are extremely obvious. At the same time, the fonts used are basically computer fonts.
The font can be seen at a glance and is relatively easy to identify.
"Xiao Han, you took advantage this time." Jiang Lin's eyes turned red when he looked at the Zi Gang card in Han Kongque's hand.
Chen Jiayi also said: "You have gained so much today, why don't you contribute the painting you drew? You can't let all the brothers watch you eat meat, we can't even drink some soup."
"You know it's a visualization picture, but you still want to read it? That's my secret." Han Kongque refused without hesitation.
Chen Jiayi said: "The bad habits of Broomstick Zizhen are terrible. If you are willing, you can watch our family's kung fu at will."
"I'm not interested. I've gained a lot today. How many of you should I invite to have supper?" Han Kongque said.
Chen Jiayi said: "No need. Let's just eat ants!"
As soon as Chen Jiayi finished speaking, a waiter came to invite them.
Han Peacock knew that this was the theme of coming here tonight.
After walking into a place that looked like a conference room and a restaurant, Han Kongque and the others found a seat to sit down.
Soon, a waiter brought out plates of ants and placed them in front of everyone.
There is no need to remove the wings of the ants, just fry them. The wings will become burnt and they will really look like grasshoppers. The wings are also edible.
Although you don’t need to add oil when frying, the fried ants are still similar to the fried ones. The fried ants in the end are all baked in oil. This is because the oil in the ants’ stomachs has come out, and the wings have also been fried.
It's gone. The remaining bit has been fried and is crispy.
It seems that there is a lot of fried food. As soon as someone finishes eating, the waiter will immediately bring another plate. At first, a few people were afraid to eat it. In the end, seeing how delicious the food was for others, I tried to eat one. In this way
Come on, everyone can't stop talking.
Han Peacock not only ate it, he also kept a lot of it for himself. This food was really delicious. However, if you had never eaten it before, you would definitely not dare to eat it. So Han Peacock wanted to take some home and let his family know first.
A man tastes it and knows it is delicious. His bucket of ants is now found.
Ants are rich in various amino acids, many of which are essential amino acids. There are many nutrients that can improve the quality of life. There are now many health products made from ants on the market.
"How's it going? You guys are having a good time eating?" Liu Changfa walked in, followed by several men and women behind him.
Chen Jiayi said: "Mr. Liu has prepared well. This is my first time eating these ants."
Liu Changfa laughed and said: "Actually, the most edible termites are African termites. During the early colonial period, many European upper classes ate them as delicacies. But to be honest, the ones who eat the most termites are orangutans."
"Haha." Everyone laughed.
Liu Changfa waited for everyone to finish laughing before saying: "We are indeed well prepared this time. Regardless of whether this cooperation is successful or not, I invite you to go to my private estate in Africa.
On the yellow soil of Africa, you can see tall lumps of soil rising up one after another everywhere in the wilderness. Some of them are taller than tall adults, more than 2 meters tall.
These lumps of soil are the nests of a famous type of termite in Africa. The soil of these nests is processed and spit out by termites in their mouths. The soil is very strong and hard.
Underground is the palace of the queen ant, which is very deep. It is difficult for ordinary people to dig that deep, so few people see the queen.
Every year at the end of the rainy season, termites divide their nests. Many termites with wings fly to other places to take root and rebuild a new kingdom.
At night, these termites fly towards the lights, and the locals catch them and fry them, which is indeed a delicacy.
Every night, you will see something like bees flying around in front of the light in the house. These termites are easy to catch in the yard. It only takes a short time to catch a bucket."
"It sounds very funny! It turns out that I only know how to hunt and dig diamonds in Africa, but I didn't expect there to be such a big ant nest." Chen Jiayi said with a smile.
Jiang Lin also said: "I must go and play when I have time. Diamonds are too troublesome. It would be nice to catch a big bucket of termites. It's delicious!"
"As long as you go, I will treat you well." Liu Changfa said with a smile.
At this time, as Liu Changfa and others sat down, a woman who came with Liu Changfa handed Han Kongque and others a piece of information.
"This is our sincerity." Liu Changfa said.
Han Peacock opened the folder. There were only some names in it. He looked at it and found that there was an ocean freight company, a steel factory, a cement factory, and a construction company.
In addition to these, there are various power plants, desalination plants, agricultural reclamation companies, sand and gravel companies, fishing companies, geological exploration teams, etc. Almost everything that involves land reclamation and resource exploration is included in this document.
If Han Kongque and others accept Liu Changfa's conditions, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in developing offshore islands in the future.
However, Han Peacock can also easily discover that anyone can get these things as long as they have money and spend some time. Therefore, this is not something they urgently need, it is just a dispensable thing.
"With these things, it will be very helpful for us to develop overseas islands. I make the decision. If you really provide door-to-door things, I can let you divide a large piece of land in my territory for you to use.
"Chen Jiayi said.
Liu Changfa shook his head: "If you are not satisfied with these, you can raise the conditions! You should know that our purpose is not limited to those."
Chen Jiayi just promised to give them a piece of land, but this land still belongs to Chen Jiayi, and Liu Changfa and the others definitely don't just want this. What they want is the same qualifications as Chen Jiayi and the others. In other words, they want
Chen Jiayi, Han Kongque and others have sovereignty over part of the sea area enclosed.
"Any more and I won't be able to make the decision." Chen Jiayi also began to shake his head.
"So I invited all ten of you here. I heard that the sea area is very big. I think you need to know how much investment is needed to develop an offshore island." Liu Changfa said.
