Lu Lu didn't think he had a high level of artistic accomplishment, but that didn't stop him from judging whether the things he saw looked good or not, whether they looked comfortable or not, and whether he liked them or not.
In one word, it is pleasing to the eye and that is enough.
Art is priceless... A simple sentence raised what Kong Siren was doing to a much higher level, and directly hit the weakest point in his heart. This is something he has stuck to for many years.
And Lu Lu really likes these things.
The two of them just hit it off.
In these days, a mediocre piece of rotten wood will later become a high-end ornament, loved by rich people. This is worth doing, and it can also be regarded as a later investment and accumulation of wealth.
For twice the salary, Lu Lu didn't think it was a waste.
After entering the house, Kong Siren specially brewed Lu Lu's treasured tea, and immediately treated Lu Lu as a distinguished guest.
The two sat cross-legged on the Kang and chatted for a while, mostly about the selection of various carving materials.
This made Lu Lu learn a lot of things.
Kong Siren was afraid that Lu Lu would forget it, so he even copied the material information and gave it to Lu Lu to take away, so that Lu Lu could selectively prepare the carving materials when he encountered it.
Of course, Lu Lu also took away the six tiger tooth pendants with silver tiger heads carved with patterns and two tiger teeth decorated with Momoyama jade.
These tiger teeth, which are nearly ten centimeters long and decorated, are exquisite, simple yet domineering. They are rare accessories. There are many tooth pendants like this in later generations, but most of them are abroad, using Bengal tigers and the like. So what?
Comparable to big claws.
It will become increasingly difficult to obtain in the future, and similarly, this is something that continues to increase in value.
After leaving Kong Siren's house, Lu Lu did not stay too long and rode Zhui Feng back to his home meadow.
Zhang Shaofeng and others started making noise as soon as Lu Lu returned to Caodianzi.
"Lao Wu, you want to be lazy on purpose, right?"
"I said I would take a trip to the district and then come back. Who knows, it must be intentional to stay there for so long."
"We all know that scraping oily skin is dirty and tiring, and washing fur and stretching it is cold. If it were me, I would be lazy."
…
Listening to several people joking around, Lu Lu just smiled and led Zhui Feng back to the stable. When he came out, he took out six tiger tooth pendants and distributed them to several people: "For everyone.
It can be regarded as a testimony and token of our brotherhood, and it can also ward off evil spirits."
When several people saw what Lu Lu handed over, they were all stunned.
I never thought that tiger teeth, which are usually taken lightly, would become so beautiful after being processed and modified.
Several of them are hunters, and they especially like the wild nature contained in it.
"When did you do this?"
Zhang Shaofeng looked at the tiger tooth in his hand fondly and asked a little strangely.
"That's the big claw I made last time. On the day you sent it to the district, I asked someone to do it. Two big claws and eight teeth were made. Our six are the same style, using silver tiger
For the first and the other two, I was a bit selfish and left it to Xiuyu and the children, using Momoyama jade..."
Lu Lu said and took out the other two tiger tooth pendants.
Several people became more and more envious after seeing it. The Momoyama jade was carved into the shape of big paws sleeping lazily based on the lines. It was not so ferocious and looked very gentle and gentle. It had just the right combination of wildness and laziness, which sounded like a very different match.
, but it’s actually quite pleasing to the eye.
"They are all good things. When will I have the opportunity to make big paws again, I will also get a Daidai for my family..." Zhang Shaofeng said, constantly looking at the Momoyama jade and tiger teeth that he took from Lu Lu.
pendant.
"I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to hit big claws in the future!" Lu Lu said with a smile: "However, you can consider wolf teeth, bear teeth or something like that."
Then, he looked at Chen Xiuqing and said, "Wolf fangs and bear fangs are available at Qingzi's place!"
What this guy likes to do most is that when he kills a wolf or a blind bear, he will try his best to knock off the fangs and hide them himself. You can often see him smashing them hard against the mouth of his prey with a stone in his hand.
Look.
As for wild boar tusks, they were so common that he had no idea.
Chen Xiuqing liked collecting tusks, and Lu Lu didn't stop him. After all, after a few years, these tusks would be worth a small amount of money.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, several people looked at Chen Xiuqing.
Chen Xiuqing grinned and looked at Lu Lu with resentment on her face: "Brother Lu, why are you always staring at my teeth?"
"You look like you are a petty person... I won't be done until I fight you. Don't rob me then!" Zhang Shaofeng glared at Chen Xiuqing: "My feelings have faded!"
Chen Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Aren't there just a few wolf teeth? If you need a few, tell me. I have all the wolf fangs we shot at Sukhbaru's house."
"This is so ridiculous!"
Liang Kangbo and others all laughed.
And Lu Lu also reminded him seriously: "These tiger teeth must be taken good care of. It is estimated that they will become valuable in a few years, and they can be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"So valuable?" Zhao Yongke, who was calm and unfazed, couldn't help but ask.
"There are fewer and fewer big claws, and the possibility of getting them is getting lower and lower. Isn't it normal for them to become valuable?"
Lu Lu talked about the price in twenty or thirty years in a speculative tone, which attracted their attention.
In later generations, the market price of a seven-centimeter tiger tooth with a large claw was more than 30,000 yuan, and an eight-centimeter tiger tooth could even reach about 50,000 yuan.
The two big paws that Lu Lu hit were from the prime of life, with the best teeth.
Especially the big claws of the male that he shot when he went to look for Zhao Tuanqing's family in the mountains, and the two upper fangs reached 12 centimeters. They were even rarer, and their value would only be higher. Lu Luhe planned to keep them.
The ones given to Chen Xiuyu were the two longest ones. After they were decorated, they looked like small daggers.
This book was sent by Lu Lu, not Lu Lu. They had never thought of processing it like this and wearing it. There was naturally nothing to choose from in terms of size. Lu Lu left the two biggest ones, and no one had any objections.
, it was obtained for free, and Lu Lu also paid for the money and processing wages.
Lu Lu himself felt at ease.
"No matter how valuable it is, I can't bear to sell it. The friendship between us brothers cannot be bought with money!" Zhang Shaofeng directly put the pendant around his neck, looked down for a while, and then carefully inserted the tiger fangs through the collar.
, carry it close to your body.
Several other people also nodded, put on Huya and carried it close to their body.
Lu Lu took another large and small pendant decorated with Taoshan jade and returned it to the wood carving. He personally gave the two tiger teeth to Chen Xiuyu and the child: "Keep it well and don't lose it. We are getting married, so it doesn't matter."
I give you good jewelry, consider this the first one, it is no worse than other gold and silver, it can ward off evil spirits."
Chen Xiuyu grabbed the pendant and looked through it. As she looked at it, her eyes turned red and she nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Lu asked inexplicably.
Chen Xiuyu rubbed her eyes: "I'm happy and touched. This is the first gift you gave me."
"What are you talking about? Shouldn't the first gift I give you be me?" Lu Lu said with a smile.
When Chen Xiuyu heard this, her face suddenly turned red, and she gave Lu Lu a fierce look.
But after thinking about it, she said seriously: "No, the first gift you gave me should be the fire-glazed slingshot."
"I shoot inward, and the slingshot shoots outward. What's more, I shot continuously, several times, and the child came out. Why is it not in your heart? You are thinking about the slingshot, but you are not thinking about me... ugh!"
Lu Lu shook his head.
Chen Xiuyu's face became more and more embarrassed. She suddenly put the child on the kang and grabbed the feather duster lying beside her: "Isn't it over yet?"
Lu Lu quickly jumped aside and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it tonight..."
Seeing Chen Xiuyu getting off the kang and putting on her shoes, Lu Lu hurriedly jumped out: "I'm going to shovel the oily skin, and it's time for you to make lunch."
Chen Xiuyu chased her to the door and watched Lu Lu running out of the yard. She couldn't help but exhaled a long breath, blushed and muttered in a low voice: "Pervert!"
She returned to the kang again, but couldn't help but pick up the tiger fang she was wearing and look at it carefully.
On the kang, Xiao Zhengyang was also grabbing the tiger tooth, grinning, shaking it constantly, looking very happy.
In the next seven days, several people focused their energy on processing these furs. After stretching the frames, they dried the water inside the fairy pillar, and then put them into Lu Lu's warehouse for drying in the shade.
The weather was so cold that Lu Lu had to set up a brazier in the warehouse to keep the food warm. Otherwise, he didn't know when it would be completely dry.
The otter livers, rib caps, and bear noses were placed on the fire pipes of the underground cellar to dry, while Chen Xiuyu took the time to boil out the wolf oil and badger oil, bottle them, and send them to the kitchen.
Things have come to an end, and the weather that has been sunny for many days has once again ushered in a steady snow.
The snow was not heavy, but it was rustling non-stop.
It rained for three days in a row before it stabilized again, but the weather remained hazy.
Lu Lu, Zhang Shaofeng and others also took the time to go to the breeding farm and take a look.
Feeding sika deer has become a habit, so there is no need to worry about it. Most of the geese in the wild goose farm have been sold, and the pressure on Zhou Fangjing, Big Nose and Lin Yulong has also been greatly reduced.
There was a small problem in the beehive. Three groups of bees had their hives bitten by mice and sneaked in to eat honey. The sudden expansion of the hole and the sharp cold caused the three groups of black bees to freeze and fell on top of each other.
At the bottom of the box, the hive was also badly damaged.
Lu Lu had to set up some mouse traps around the concentrated hive.
Zhang Shaofeng suggested that Lu Lu use rat poison directly, but Lu Lu was more worried about the rats that had eaten rat poison and ran to the wild goose breeding farm. If they were eaten by the wild geese, another wild goose would have to be lost, so he thought it would be better to use physical means to prevent them.
It was better, and Pu Guiying was asked to check frequently on weekdays to see if there was any damage caused by rats.
What he is most worried about is the wood frogs in the wintering pond in Lannigou.
However, after going to see it, he found out that Lin Yulong held a chain saw every day to cut the ice surface, and also used a water pump to pump out the well water to allow the water flow to move properly. After that, he felt relieved.
Things are being executed very well.
Taking the opportunity of Lu Lu and a group of people coming to the breeding farm to inspect, Meng Zhaohua took the opportunity to find Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, I asked Mr. Lu to check the life, and I want to ask you for a favor the day after tomorrow..."
"Getting engaged?"
Since he was asking his husband to check his life, Lu Lu couldn't think of anything else besides this matter. He turned to look at Meng Zhaohua, and then at Pu Guiying who was following him: "You guys are progressing very quickly on this matter."
Meng Zhaohua grinned stupidly, but Pu Guiying said carelessly: "No matter how fast it is, it won't be as fast as you and Sister Yu, just get married and go to the bridal chamber!"
"I'm afraid I'm not as quick as you..." Lu Lu said with a smirk on his face, "You guys took care of things before you got married. Don't think I don't know."
Hearing this, Pu Guiying suddenly panicked and didn't dare to say more.
As Lu Lu was the matchmaker, he naturally couldn't run away from Meng Zhaohua's engagement, so he turned back to Meng Zhaohua and said, "Hua Zi, call me the day after tomorrow!"
"Okay, Brother Lu!" Meng Zhaohua was extremely happy when he received Lu Lu's reply.
Lu Lu called Zhang Shaofeng and others to return to Xiushan Tun. By the way, he went to Zuo Songling to talk about custom-made beehives. He also went to Bai Gou Sheng, planning to let him get a batch of wicker cages for the new year.
Paired flying dragons for easy transportation.
After things are done, everyone goes home.
Not long after Lu Lu returned home, while he was teasing the child, Yuan Bao's barking came from outside.
He went out and looked towards the main intersection of Caodianzi for a while, and saw a person walking in carrying large and small bags.
