The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 557 When Lu

   In late autumn, the thick hoarfrost fell and dyed the ground white. At first glance, it seemed that there was snow.

On the east side of the village, before the sun climbed out of the horizon, the sound of the horn for work rang out, and the construction site of the resort came to life in an instant. The temporary prefab houses are neatly arranged under the girl mountain, and the blue roof is connected with the burning torch tree on the mountain.

  This is called a mountain in name, but it is actually a large earthen bag with a radius of less than one mile.

Just like 20 years ago, no one dared to imagine that China could develop so rapidly, and the people in Lujia Village did not expect that the wasteland bag that used to be placed under their noses without blinking an eye, more than ten years ago, in order to prevent The Torch Forest, troubled by soil erosion, has become one of the county's scenic spots.

   In fact, many people in Lvjia Village, especially the villagers at the foot of the so-called Lady Mountain, had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the winter to burn the torch forest.

  Because the torch tree is an exotic tree species, it lacks enough natural enemies, and its developed root system constantly invades the surrounding farmland.

  The sun gradually climbed up the horizon, and a large number of vehicles entered Lujia Village one after another. Some tricycles or motorcycles with trailers entered the village directly, and most of the cars went to the east.

   Across a resort construction site, many people got out of the car and pointed at the flaming red Ladies Mountain, and some people directly set up their cameras to take pictures.

   In this late autumn, under the vigorous promotion of Qingzhao County, many people came from other towns and towns to appreciate the red leaves of Shuangshan Mountain.

   At the entrance of the old village of Lvjia Village, a quaint old-fashioned archway has been erected, and the words Lvjia Village are clearly visible on the plaque made of solid wood.

   Further inside, many vendors set up their stalls, sparsely placed on both sides of the market.

  From this month, Lvjia Village officially resumes the Lvjia Village Festival, which opens on the first and sixth lunar calendar to warm up the Folk Culture Village in advance.

In the past, when the official road left Lvjia Village, the Lvjia Village Daji was prosperous for a time. It was also the best stage of life in Lujia Village before liberation. The transaction between Daji and the official road allowed the people of Lujia Village to have the financial resources to build all brick and stone houses. , not a grass-roofed adobe house.

   But the Lujia Village fair has disappeared for decades, and the people who go to the market, whether they buy or sell, are dominated by a strong inertia. Even if Lujia Village offers various preferential measures for vendors, the number of vendors who come here is still small.

   However, there is also a favorable condition. Lvjia Village is now well-known and attractive, and the nearby Majia Village, Liuwan Village and Zhangwan Village do not have large gatherings, so it is relatively easy to gather buyers.

  There are more consumers, so don’t worry about people who don’t have any sellers.

  There were not many people selling things on the big fair, but there were quite a few people who came to hang out. At this time, many people gathered at the door of an old-fashioned brick house, watching the old, middle and young people working at the door.

   "Okay!" The gray-haired Lu Zhending gave an order: "Open the mold!"

  Lv Jianren stretched out his hand, took the small hammer that Lu Dong handed over, and gently knocked open the outer mold, a crack opened, revealing a golden light inside.

   "Gold?" The onlookers were surprised.

   Another stared: "It's really golden."

   Lv Jianren, regardless of the surrounding discussions, hurriedly opened the mold to reveal the golden casting inside.

  Lu Dong squatted down, took a closer look, and asked, "It's done?"

  The castings were basically cold. Lv Jianren brushed them lightly and went to see Lv Zhending, who was experienced in hand-casting. Lv Zhending knocked on it, flipped through it again, and said, "It's done."

   Lu Jianren asked Lu Dong: "Where's the photo?"

   Lu Dong took out the photo of the golden danglu unearthed from the Han tomb in Luozhuang, handed it to Lu Jianren, and said, "Seventh uncle, the appearance is very similar."

  Lu Jianren took the photo and looked at it for comparison: "It still needs to be polished."

   Someone in the crowd shouted: "Seventh, where did you get such a big lump of gold? You even cast such a thing."

   Lv Jianren picked up a piece of scraps the size of a fingernail and threw it to the man.

   The man caught it and took a bite, then spit out with a "bah", and threw it back: "Damn, this is brass."

   Lv Jianren did not speak, and together with Lv Zhending, polished the newly casted brass to serve as Lu.

   Someone saw the report on TV and asked, "Zuoshan Eagle, what are you doing with the things from the tomb, don't you think it's bad luck?"

   "This is called Danglu!" Lv Jianren put on the face of a literate man: "You don't understand, this style unearthed from the Luozhuang Han tomb can only be used by ancient kings!"

   His nonsense can be picked up casually, and he patted the brass in his hand as Lu said, "This represents wealth, honor and auspiciousness!"

  The people in the vicinity knew that the mountain carvings in Lujia Village were very powerful, and someone immediately shouted, "You don't want to take this, do you replace the one dug out of the tomb?"

   Lv Jianren said with a bit of disdain, "If you want to eat in prison, you can go by yourself."

  The casted brass still needs to be polished and polished. Lv Jianren and Lv Zhenyi are busy again. Lv Dong is a watcher at best, and occasionally fights.

   "Master Zhending, Seventh Uncle." Lu Dong asked, "Is this fit?"

   Lv Jianren, who was directly in charge, nodded and said, "This can be done, but the small pieces of the indoor museum are fine."

   Lu Zhending answered: "Come to open the furnace tomorrow to cast the largest one."

   This is not Lv Jianren's ticklish tricks, nor is he trying to imitate fakes or something, but a serious job.

   One of the Luozhuang Han Tomb projects undertaken by Lujia Village Construction Company is to provide imitation gold as Lu.

Because among a series of unearthed national treasures, the bells and chimes and the horse carriage frame are of higher value, but they are not unique on the whole, and the styles are a bit unremarkable, so it is impossible to hang them as the Luozhuang Han Tomb Museum. The icon, the expert group headed by Professor Fan and the director of the National Museum, finally selected the exquisite and unique golden Danglu as the icon.

  , which is the pattern of gold as Lu, will be registered as the trademark of the Luozhuang Han Tomb.

   After the completion of the future, gold will be hung at the entrance of the Luozhuang Han Tomb Museum and the entrance of each museum.

   The Lujia Village Construction Company, which is responsible for the construction and decoration of ancient buildings, naturally took over the job.

   Well done, the profit margin is huge.

Since Lv Jianren followed Lv Dong to see the unearthed national treasure at the excavation site of the Han tomb in Luozhuang, he had the idea of ​​imitating it. After experimenting, I finally got good results.

   Even Lu Dong didn't think that the unreliable things that Seventh Uncle thought about at random could be used at this time.

   Lv Jianren said while he was busy with his work, "Uncle Zhending, this work is done, there is still work to do later, enough for you to be busy until this time next year."

   Lv Zhending took a thermos cup to drink water, knowing that Lv Jianren's words were not reliable, he looked at Lu Dong: "Dongzi, any more?"

   "I said Uncle Zhending, what do you think Dongzi is doing? He doesn't care about the construction company, what does he know?"

   Lu Dong smiled: "I really don't know."

Lv Zhending is a family handed down craftsman. In recent years, he has used some modern craftsmanship. He has been doing hand casting for decades. As for the account of being Lu, he has a clear mind and immediately said: "Lao Qi, Uncle Zhending? People, as you know, when you speak, you spit a nail, and I won't talk to you about anything else, and the next work can keep up with this time, when the nails got married, the three..."

   "My own man, don't say such things." After all, Uncle Seven was just trying to make a tone, not really wanting to pick something up, so he interrupted Lu Zhending and said, "Uncle, can you do bronze work?"

  Lv Zhending smiled: "Bronze has a low melting point and is easy to handle."

Lv Jianren said: "At the museum, the horse carriage frame and many bronze tripods and Chunyu should be made corresponding imitations, some of which are enlarged and placed outdoors. At first, they said they were made of resin, but the county did not agree. If it is made of bronze, it has to be imitation.”

Lv Zhending's decades-old craftsmanship is not lacking in technology and confidence: "As long as there are samples, small pieces are not difficult. No matter how good ancient crafts are, they are nothing compared to modern craftsmanship. Many lost craftsmanship, What has been lost is the manufacturing method of that era, not to say that it cannot be made in modern times."

   Lu Jianren replied casually: "Yes."

  Lv Zhending said: "Large items are very troublesome, and then we will find a special factory to cooperate with."

   Lu Jianren asked Lu Dong: "Dongzi, do you have any way of doing this?"

  Lu Dong shook his head: "No. Seventh Uncle, you should ask Professor Fan."

   "Professor Fan thinks I'm not serious, so he doesn't want to talk to me." Lv Jianren said with rare helplessness: "I've said ten sentences to Professor Fan, and it's good if people can catch up."

  Lu Dong complained in his heart because the other nine sentences you said were all nonsense.

   Lv Jianren said again: "You have a good relationship with Professor Fan, and you are friends with his student. You can help and ask, and then you will get a commission."

   It doesn't matter whether Lu Dong mentions the commission or not, but when it comes to the matter of Uncle Seven, if you don't take a word of it, your whole body feels uncomfortable: "Uncle Seven, we said that there is a commission, but it can't be changed?"

  Lü Jianren said seriously: "Can your seventh uncle fool you? The company's business is handed over to me. I will give you a commission and promise to give it to you."

   Lu Dong smiled: "Okay, Seventh Uncle, I'll call now."

Although there are not many people selling things on Jijie Street, there are a lot of people wandering around in the four nearby villages. Lv Dong entered Master Zhending's house, took out his mobile phone and looked for the number. Thinking that Professor Fan might be holding a meeting in the province, he simply called Ma Ming's phone.

It was picked up quickly over there. Ma Ming just happened to return to Quannan, and said that he would ask a few senior brothers to ask. It may take a lot of effort for people from outside the industry to find this kind of thing, but the industry does not count. Disaster.

   When Lu Dong was about to hang up the phone, Ma Ming suddenly turned and said, "By the way, the matter you asked me to help you last time has become clear. I will go back to the Qingzhao construction site tomorrow. Let's meet and talk?"

   "Okay." Lu Dong replied, "See you tomorrow."
