Chapter 369: Go Tiger Hunting

This "Peacock Peony Picture" is the only ready-made one, but Zhang Nan doesn't have to worry about giving it to the Indians and it will be gone: the little brother not only gave Bao Yuan a very small number of ready-made products of "Du Jinsheng", but he felt that it was not enough, because the annual output was so much, and he also placed a big order, and the money had already been paid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Peacock Peony Picture" is set to five pairs at one time, which is enough for the technicians of Du Jinsheng to be busy for several years, because such a process is extremely time-consuming, and it also requires the most skilled workers to operate.

This trip with this brocade is just a spare, which is a heavy gift, and it is generally reluctant to give it.

This made the Valma family extremely happy, and made Manu Jain a little red-eyed: Peacock, what is in the eyes of Indians is needless to say.

"Mr. Allen, I would like to ask..."

Hearing Jia Yin's words on the side, Zhang Nan didn't wait for him to finish speaking and said with a smile: "Aren't we friends, it will be a year at the earliest." ”

Know what he's going to say.

"So long?"

Manu Jain is also an understanding person.

Zhang Nan shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is no way, a brocade of this size and fineness, it will take more than a year and a half for the most skilled brocade master, I placed an order half a year ago through a relationship." So, my friend, only a year later. ”

Zhang Nan visited the traditional manufacturing workshop of Du Jinsheng around 2000, and listened to the general introduction of the factory leaders, although he could not remember how long it would take to weave such a large-scale brocade, "one and a half" was nonsense, but he also knew that it would take a long time.

Even the brocade weavers could not accurately predict when it would be completed.

Du Jinsheng's brocade I liked it very much in my last life, and I also collected some: the price of non-pure handmade and ordinary small-sized collections is only a few hundred, but the pure handmade brocade woven before the special period and the envoy period is really not low.

The Varma family thanked Mr. Allen for his generosity, and the old Mr. Varma also had gifts to give to the guests, and I don't know if it was prepared in advance or decided on the spur of the moment.

A very strong squire came to the conservatory with a long wooden box in his hand and handed it to Davenral Valmar.

Little Varma opened it and said, "This is a 17th-century aristocratic tava scimitar, which should have been captured by my ancestors during their war against the Mughal Empire, and given to you, my friend." ”

Zhang Nan was not polite, and took the scimitar with a length of nearly 90 centimeters: a silver and gold-inlaid hilt, and a dark red scabbard inlaid with various colored gemstones.

Drawing the knife out of the sheath, he exclaimed at a glance: "Good knife!"

The standard Uzi steel blade has a smooth pattern on the surface of the knife - this is not the effect of folding, although the Uzi steel is cast steel, it has its own pattern.

The handle of a regular tawa scimitar is made of iron and then gilded, but this handle is a silver handle inlaid with gold wire, and then gilded.

Zhang Nan doesn't know about this kind of gilding process in the subcontinent, although it may not be a top product, but how can I feel that this is a good knife, no matter what else, the material is Uzi steel, and it is more than 300 years old, it is definitely a good collection.

After thanking him, he put the knife away and put it in the box and set it aside.

This time, Manu Jia Yin didn't blush at all, and it is estimated that this diamond king should also have such a tawa knife in his hand.

To foreigners, an old Uzi steel knife may be a rarity, but in the eyes of India's wealthiest people, an ordinary Uzi steel tawa scimitar is not as rare as an old revolver.

Because it's not particularly rare.

In some rural India, there will be a hand of shield and a tawa scimitar in the hand of combat training, and many of them are a bit of a performative nature.

On some important festivals or when important guests visit, they often stage a "weapon slash" performance at the banquet, and some famous performers will use authentic Uzi steel knives to slash, and even sparks will splash during the evening performance, which is very exciting!

After exchanging gifts, Xiao Valma said the arrangements for the two days: Zhang Nan went to Thiruvananthapuram to play, see the most beautiful beaches in India, and visit temples that ordinary outsiders can't enter, because their family has prepared the most interesting things for VIPs.

"Tiger hunting, you say?"

Walmar said proudly, "Yes, Tiger Hunting. ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of the Bengal tiger, right?"

Hearing Zhang Nan's words, old Varma laughed and gestured to the mountain road a few kilometers away: "In addition to the gently sloping hills and plains, there are about 1,000 square kilometers of mountainous woodland, where I have planted about 100 square kilometers of pepper.

The rest of the wooded area is connected to a reserve behind it, and there are piles of tigers. There are at least 20 damn tigers in my land alone.

Because of the tigers, I lost three tenant farmers last year, and the animals sometimes even run to my villages, and every year I have to organize people to hunt tigers, otherwise the plantation workers sometimes dare not go up the mountain.

Rest assured Mr. Allen, it is perfectly legal to hunt tigers in my land, haha...

You don't have to worry about legal issues at all, it's on private land. Here, there is nothing you can't fight except for people with two legs and cattle with four legs.

If you're lucky, you can shoot a few more tigers, and after a while, the people below will finish processing, and you can take the tiger skin home as decorations. ”

At this time, little Walma answered: "There are at least a few thousand tigers in the Western Ghats and the Deccan Plateau in the east, and the government people say that there are at least a thousand in the reserve near us.

It's a headache for us, and every time the untouchables go up the hill to pick pepper, we have to send out an escort.

And every year tigers cost us a lot of livestock, and the loss of money is small, but as the owners of this land, we must do our duty to protect those who are in the land. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan noticed that the Varma barrister, the diamond king Jia Yin, and the younger brother of the little Varma didn't think it was so strange, and it seemed that they had become accustomed to it.

Seeing Zhang Nan's somewhat surprised look, Davenral Valmar suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Mr. Allen, you won't be an animal protectionist, will you?"

"No, it's just a little surprised. ”

Well, I don't really know how well India will protect tigers. But since the master invited him to go, it is better to go and see for a long time.

"It's a pity that my brother-in-law is not here this time, otherwise he would be very happy. ”

Zhang Nan said this to Alyosha behind him, out of politeness, in English.

The big man smiled, "It's a pity." ”

The rest of the Varma family was puzzled, and little Varma explained: Mr. Allen's brother-in-law had left early.

He didn't know why, Jia Yin wouldn't tell him about the cooperation in the diamond mine.

"Mr. Allen, your brother-in-law likes to hunt?"

Not really, but he had hunted snow leopards and brown bears. ”

When old Varma heard this, he waved his hand and exclaimed: "Your brother-in-law must be the most outstanding hunter, many years ago I was invited to hunt snow leopards in the north, which is a spirit in the mountains, but unfortunately I did not hunt any of them that time." Compared to it, the tiger is as clumsy as a pregnant she-goat.

The next time you have the chance, be sure to invite your brother-in-law to visit us. ”

Why are you a guest?

Tiger Hunting!

Well, then go tiger hunting.

However, Zhang Nan hates rainforests, and this is the most typical tropical forest rainforest except for the equatorial region, if you want to drill the rainforest by yourself, then you would rather stay in the manor and drink tea.

I was embarrassed to ask what equipment the tiger hunter needed.

Little Walma said, "You wear my brothers' hunting suits, and we use No. 8 shotguns, big guys." Of course, you can also use other weapons, but they don't have full automatic.

In fact, the tiger is not so powerful, and it can be taken down with a single bullet from an ordinary No. 12 shotgun, which is easier to deal with than those big wild boars that have been lying down for a long time. ”

Zhang Nan smiled awkwardly, "Do I mean you need to walk up the mountain?"

The mountains in the distance are actually not high, and for those who have seen real mountains in Zhang Nan, this area is a gentle hill, but a dense rainforest grows.

"We use elephants. ”
