Chapter 742 Ink Painting is Natural
Pick up rocks?
Zhao Yongke looked at Lu Lu in confusion, wondering what Lu Lu was trying to do.
But Lu Lu pointed at a rock with outcrops in the ditch.
This stone was half buried on the river bed, covered with snow on the top, and many places on the surface were also covered with ice, but the exposed parts were very smooth, layered with layers of different colors, green Mixed yellow, white and other colors in the middle.
The color is a bit strange...but it is a stone after all!
Zhao Yongke thought Lu Lu had discovered some treasure.
"This is a Songhua Stone. I couldn't even remember it until I saw it. There are many Songhua Stones in Jiangyuan. This is a treasure."
In the past, this was just a whetstone in the homes of ordinary people. But since the Qing Dynasty, when the emperor saw this kind of stone in his hometown, he immediately had it polished carefully and turned it into an extremely beautiful inkstone. Since then, there have been The famous Songhua Inkstone.
This thing will also be a resource that is scarce in future generations. Of course, it has also been banned from mining by many parties. In addition, the utilization rate has increased significantly, and it seems to have become an ordinary thing, and the price is not high.
But nowadays, if you can get some and hand them over to Kong Siren and process them, they will definitely be exported to earn foreign exchange or collected, and they can be sold for a lot of money.
It can be used not only for carving practical or ornamental inkstones, but also as valuable architectural decoration and materials for processing handicrafts. Especially those strange stones with unique shapes and different states have attracted much attention.
In other words, even if you just simply appreciate the natural texture, shape and color, they are all wonderful things.
Songhua stone is a rock formed from sediments. It is usually buried in mud or sedimentary stone layers and needs to be specially mined.
Of course, there are also Songhua stones that have weathered and rolled down the ravines and valleys and been washed away by running water, removing the outer mud shell and exposing the warm and jade-like parts inside, revealing the beauty hidden inside, which is the so-called Jianglao. stone.
Lu Lu saw that this piece was Jiang Laoshi, and he could pick it up directly.
He immediately walked over, moved the stone from the river bank, swept away the snow on it, and dug out the frozen layer. From his perspective, he saw that it was a turquoise stone composed of yellow, green and purple.
This kind of plain three-color pine flower stone is mostly made of sheet material, and the molding rate is very low. It is very difficult to form an ornamental stone.
The area that Lu Lu accidentally saw was washed away by running water, and the ice and snow eroded it into shape, like a mountain peak.
Carefully take out the pine flower stone weighing forty or fifty kilograms and put it aside.
Lu Lu continued to search along the river ditch. Whenever he saw an edged stone on the edge of the river ditch, Lu Lu would go up and have a look. Soon he made a new discovery, which was a light yellow stone with wood texture... …
Seeing Lu Lu's happy expression, Zhao Yongke, even though he didn't understand the value of this thing yet, confirmed from Lu Lu's expression that it was a good thing, and started looking for it.
Just choose something with a unique shape and a variety of colors.
If you don't understand, you can ask Lu Lu.
The two of them toiled in the ditch for more than an hour, and Zhao Yongke finally found a walnut-textured pine flower stone - a walnut-textured pine flower stone on the surface.
Lu Lu also found a piece of purple-robed and green-banded pine flower stone, which looked like two small towers standing side by side.
Each of these is a good thing.
Lu Lu was a little surprised that so many river rocks could be easily obtained in this small river valley.But he also found that it was difficult to see it even if he walked less than 50 meters up or down.
So, he returned to the place where he found the Songhua Stone, and headed up the hillside covered with trees and yellow weeds. He could vaguely see a stone wall hidden in the high place covered by the trees. .
After a slight hesitation, Lu Lu climbed up the hillside.
The snow-covered slopes are full of large and small stumbling blocks. If a person accidentally misses his footing and steps into the crevices of the rocks, he can injure his legs and feet and trip directly.
He swept away the snow and looked at the stones below. He found that there were also many pine flowers mixed in. Although the quality and color were inferior, Lu Lu suddenly saw hope.
Judging from the distribution of these stones, these stones clearly rolled down the hillside and were hidden among the trees and weeds.
That means that the cliff above is probably a pine flower stone vein.
Thinking of this, Lu Lu immediately quickened his pace and climbed up. Sure enough, he saw clearly layered cliffs and steep slopes with obvious signs of collapse.
Halfway up the steep slope, there was a dark hole that was mostly blocked by running water and siltation.
This is an old trap!
I actually found an old trap!
What a surprise.
In other words, this is a mine where pine stone was mined before.
Songhua Stone became famous in the Qing Dynasty, but with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the mining of Songhua Stone gradually stopped due to various reasons for a long time. After decades, people discovered that those hidden in the mountain ravines The old pit had long since disappeared without a trace due to the flourishing growth of trees. It was probably in 78 that someone discovered the old pit of Songhua Stone, bringing these precious stones into public view again.
Just because it has been mined, it is enough to show that the quality of the pine flower stone contained in it is extraordinary. It usually stands out among many pine flower stones for its beautiful shape, hard texture, correct color, clear grain, and full rhyme, and is easy to produce top quality.
Lu Lu excitedly took out the flashlight from his hunting bag and carefully got in through the entrance of the cave. Not far after entering, he saw a few dead bones. Looking at the stone wall, there was actually a lot of rust. After a closer look, he discovered that , which are pieces of shrapnel stuck in the stone wall and badly corroded.
There seems to have been an unknown battle here.
It was probably because of the explosion of grenades and the like that a lot of stones were scattered in the cave.
As for the bones, they were almost covered by the accumulated soil.
Lu Lu rummaged around and quickly found a pillar-shaped pine flower stone.These stones look like tree trunks with branches and leaves. As long as they are simply cleaned and polished, and a wooden base is added, they can become natural works of art.
After rummaging for a while, I saw another piece of pine flower stone with black flowers and wood grain, and a light yellow background... This is the best among pine flower stones.
After a while, I found several pieces of pine flower stones that can be called strange stones.
There are also some ashlar stones and sheets with strange patterns that can be taken back and processed to make ink stone carving objects, which are also good things.
These color lines or patterns are like natural paintings. They are smart and handsome, the ink is natural, and the uncanny workmanship of nature is a rare good thing.
In a few decades, resources will be exhausted and the market will be sluggish. It will be very difficult to make money from this thing.
And now is a good time.
For example, Xiao Kaizi has always been fond of these things and is willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. As long as they are beautifully made, he will make a profit.
After a brief exploration, Lu Lu led Zhao Yongke to put the small stones into hunting bags and the larger ones directly on his shoulders, and returned to the camping place.
Zhang Shaofeng and others had already set up the tent, lit the fire and were cooking dinner. The food was all cooked, but Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke hadn't come back yet.
By the time it got dark, everyone became a little unable to sit still.Several people made an appointment and followed the direction Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke left while shouting and looking for them. As a result, they heard Lu Lu's voice of agreement halfway along the way.
The three of them hurriedly approached and saw the two men carrying stones up the hillside while panting. They were just as baffled as Zhao Yongke at the beginning.
"What are you doing with these rocks?" Raymond couldn't help but ask.
"This is not an ordinary stone, this is the famous Songhua Stone, baby!"
Lu Lu said with a smile: "We have stopped hunting these days and are looking for these stones. When the factory is built in the spring and the handicraft processing factory is operational, it is the time when various raw materials are needed. Bringing this thing back will play a big role." . Do you know that in the Qing Dynasty, this was a stone used by the royal family?"
No matter how much I don’t understand this thing, I now know the weight of it when I hear it being used by the royal family.
How could the things used by the emperor be so bad?
Several people helped and brought things back to the tent.
Lu Lu stood up a few stones and placed them on the snow. They were based on white snow. Looking at them from a distance, even if they had not been carved and polished, they felt that they were pleasing to the eye.
A group of people wiped their hands and faces with snow, and then sat around the campfire to eat. Lu Lu also gave a few people some knowledge about Songhua Stone.
Of course, many times, a few people are confused when they hear it, but as long as they know that this thing can make money, it is enough.
It’s not just about money!
When you get to the mountains, you can do whatever you can to make money. Why not go to the mountains? What can't you do?In addition to hunting, carrying sticks, and collecting mountain products, there are many things you can do.
"But, it's not easy to do things in this icy and snowy area. Why don't we wait until the snow melts before we do it. We can't run away from this place anyway. Just remember the location, come here in the spring, and get a few cars."
Raymond thought for a while and said: "Aren't we going to come here next year to carry the mallet? Anyway, we have to let Hua Zi and the others deliver it. We might as well call a few more people over, dig for a while, and then get a few trucks back. It also saves them from driving empty-handed, killing two birds with one stone."
Lei Meng's words stunned Lu Lu for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "Brother makes sense. Let's take a few samples back first and see what Uncle Kong says. If we can do it, then we can settle the matter and wait for the ice and snow to melt. It will indeed be much more convenient if we do it again, that’s it!”
While several people were eating vegetables and drinking, several dogs eating sable meat stood up one after another and barked at the distant woods.
And unlike in the past, when it found prey or someone was approaching, it simply gave a warning, but this time it just kept barking.
Even Lu Lu couldn't tell what the reason was.
The only thing that was certain was that something had happened. Lu Lu grabbed his semi-automatic habitually and looked solemnly at the place where Bailong and the others were barking.
Zhang Shaofeng and others did not dare to be careless. They each grabbed their guns and looked at the forest with vigilant expressions.
"What's going on?" Liang Kangbo asked in a low voice.
"I do not know either……"
Before Lu Lu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a gunshot from the forest. The bullet flew over Liang Kangbo's head and shot into the birch tree behind him.
The sudden change made several people's hair stand on end.
"Hide away!"
Lu Lu shouted and quickly ran to the side, hiding behind a birch tree.
The remaining people were not slow to react and quickly looked for trees to take cover.
Immediately afterwards, a series of gunshots came from the woods on the opposite side. For a while, banging sounds were heard, not only the sound of double-barreled shotguns, but also semi-automatic ones.
For several people, it was not difficult to tell from the sound of gunshots that there were at least seven or eight people coming from the other side.
This is a deliberate attack!
This can still be tolerated... Lu Lu directly picked up the semi-automatic, looked at the figure shaking in the trees opposite, and fired directly.
Not only that, Lei Meng, Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and Zhao Yongke also took action.
These people were all good with guns. They were attacked first, so they couldn't care about anything else. As soon as the gunshots were fired, several screams came from the forest.
