Lisco's American Life
346. Mysterious tenon and tenon technology
The tired mercenaries had gone to rest with their families, and David also led all the cowboys from the ranch over.
"gentlemen."
There was no neat greeting, and all the cowboys took off their hats to greet Lisko.
"Why are you all here? Has anyone left at the ranch?"
Lisko watched as almost all the cowboys he knew came over.
"I've made arrangements, sir. All the things on the ranch are done. Now it's time for the cowboys to rest."
David smiled and answered Lisko.
"You all need to work an extra job."
Lisko teased the Cowboys.
"You know sir, I have a family."
David answered, then passed Lisko, arrived at the trailer and waited.
"Sir, I need money."
Jimmy scratched his hair, smiled innocently, and then walked over.
"Sir, the materials for sculptures are very expensive."
Hammer was smoking his pipe.
"Sir, I also want to buy a house."
Weiss shrugged.
"Sir, I recently got a girlfriend and my expenses have increased a lot."
This is Hambo.
“The wine in the bar is also very expensive.”
The cowboy prodigal Onegin also walked over.
Lisko looked at everyone dumbfounded, and could only wave his hands helplessly, signaling everyone to start working.
In fact, salary is not necessary for the Cowboys. They just want to give back to the boss who has always treated them well within their own capabilities.
Lisko watched with some pride as everyone started to get busy. People's hearts are full of flesh. When you give something to others and then get gratitude and feedback from others, you will feel that everything you do is worthwhile.
Not in vain.
And there seem to be very few people who get along like Lisko and the cowboys at Lee's Ranch. Their relationship is more of an employer-employee relationship, rather than a relationship of becoming friends and family.
However, Lisko's kind attitude did not make the cowboys feel that they could do anything wrong. Instead, they became more respectful to Lisko.
Although Payne felt very tired, he felt much better when he returned to the ranch. He did not follow the mercenaries to rest. Instead, he directed the cowboys to carefully remove the logs with things from the containers one by one.
Remove it from the inside and place it firmly in the tent.
David drove the crane, and the cowboys skillfully tied the front and rear ends of the logs with ropes, signaling David to start raising the crane and moving the car.
Everything is done quickly and skillfully.
The basic facilities of the ranch also include cranes, which are needed in many places.
One hundred logs were completed in only two hours with everyone's concerted efforts.
The Buddha statues made of stone carvings were also removed together.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest. There's nothing else to do later. David, please arrange to supply beer to everyone."
Lisko never left, holding his arms and watching everyone finish the work.
After all, this is not just a log. It would be a bit embarrassing if the things carried inside were scattered all over the floor because of everyone's excessive movements.
Although he was not afraid of the cowboys knowing these things, it would not be a good thing if they found out.
And the reason why he has been staying here is also because of this. If something happens, he can handle it in time.
Fortunately, everyone's movements were light and neat, and there was no situation like Lisko expected.
This also made Lisko and Payne, who had been watching, breathe a sigh of relief.
The cowboy's job is just to transport these things from the container to the tent, and they can't help with the following things.
Watching the cowboys walking arm-in-arm towards the dormitory, David was carrying a few bottles of wine that Liscott specially brought out from the wine cellar to comfort everyone. It seemed that everyone was planning to have a drink and a carnival.
"gentlemen."
Payne stood next to the log, watching Lisko coming over very excitedly, and directly lifted up the covering cloth on the log.
Lisko looked carefully up and down, left and right, and found no clue at all. With his level, he couldn't tell how the log was hollowed out and things put in.
Payne saw Lisko's doubts and smiled mysteriously. He held the upper part and twisted it to the right. The originally tightly closed log was separated to both ends, and a golden light flashed.
"Hiss~"
Lisko immediately stepped forward to watch. He did not shift his gaze to the gold inside the log, but squatted on the ground and looked at the log.
"This is called sǔn mǎo".
Payne proudly read out these two words, and Lisko recalled it carefully before he realized that the other person was talking about the ancient Chinese furniture craft of mortise and tenon.
"There is a Chinese member of the mercenary team. His father's generation did this, so he is very familiar with these things."
Payne introduced that at first, everyone was worried about how to hide things discreetly. Li Kui, a Chinese team member, came up with the idea. He spent a few minutes to make a mortise and tenon joint between the two logs, and then closed them.
Then paint it with the mixed paint of the color of the tree trunk.
There is no trace at all, and this bunch of ignorant foreigners are calling it a miracle.
Of course Lisko knew about it. He remembered that there was a time in his previous life when this structural method was very popular, and he also went out of his way to check this information.
The original purpose of Payne's introduction was to see his boss's surprised look, but Lisko's reaction was completely beyond his expectation, which made him a little disappointed.
The two people worked together to pour out the gold from the opened log. The scattered gold ornaments were piled into a small pile, Lisko's eyes flashed.
Fortunately, it is now covered by a tent, otherwise this scenery would have caused many people to exclaim.
“It’s really spectacular,”
Lisko touched these golds. These things have been symbols of wealth since ancient times. I don't know how many people have worked hard, lost their lives, and sold their souls for them.
Lisko was lost for a while, suddenly felt very boring, and threw the gold in his hand on the ground.
He picked up the sledgehammer next to him and beat the Buddha statue hard.
Once, twice,
The inside of the Buddha statue was smashed open, and the gems and gold ornaments contained inside poured out in the rain.
Fortunately, I put a thick blanket underneath it from the beginning, otherwise there would definitely be some damage.
Lisko picked up the gem closest to him, which was a sapphire. He held it and looked at the sun to observe. The blue color was like the sea, deep, mysterious and beautiful.
The entire area is as big as a quail egg, and the gemstone in such good condition is worth more than the same weight of gold.
According to Payne's statistics, this treasure contains more than 5,000 gold chains weighing 2.5 kilograms, 8 gold crowns, nearly 10 tons of gold ornaments and various jewelry, 35 kilograms of gold coins from the East India Company period, 25
A Napoleonic coin, more than 8 tons of gold ornaments, 9 small elephants made of gold, and countless gemstones of various colors.
