The live broadcast was opened, and Fang Hong was holding a pot.
That's right, Fang Hong was on the street where there were still a lot of people, and he was moving forward with a pot.
"Brother Gun, what are you going to do with a pot?"
Fang Hong looked at the lens of the pot, this pot has two ears, but there is no wooden handle, and the size is thirty-eight, which is very heavy.
"This can't be the legendary meteorite cauldron, Brother Gun. β
"That's right, it's a meteorite iron pot, and the seller doesn't agree with me to open a live broadcast to broadcast the transaction process, so I opened it after I came out, and by the way, this is a Chinese. β
From Central America to the northern part of South America, the Chinese are very powerful, and there have even been Chinese presidents.
Many people are reluctant to show their faces, and in the past, the owners of Latin American estates provided a lot of money for the country for World War II.
They are still patriotic, of course, business is business, and Fang Hong used 120,000 US dollars to win this pot.
A large iron pot that has lasted for 200 years without rusting.
"So, this time you're going to risk this pot on your back?"
"Brother Gun, if you encounter a snake this time and use a pot to scare you, I'm afraid it will be very heartbreaking. β
Fang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then: "Just kidding, how can you use this pot to scare the snake, it's simple, absolutely impossible." "Is this a lot of American knives in exchange, and they are almost one-tenth of the price of the cattle ranch, and they are used to scare snakes?
The city of Honduras is very special, the roads are basically empty, there are coconut trees, and they are far apart, and the streets are modern asphalt roads, but they are not so clean.
The reason, of course, is because of the strong wind.
"The architecture here is very special, you see, typical Gothic, but it's not a megalithic building, it's a brick-burned building and a whitewashed faΓ§ade. If you look at a building, it should be a church, a typical church with a single spire in Western Europe, all of which are built of stone, and these stones should have been shipped from Europe. β
"These stones are shipped from Western Europe, and I import them?"
"I was supposed to go to Argentina before. Fang Hong: "In that case, you will know what it means that the stone was shipped from Europe." In our country, even if it is a stone road, it is only a stone slab, but the West likes it, the stone strips are inserted vertically in the ground, and they will grind at most one layer after hundreds of years, and they will not be broken, and in Argentina, too, a large number of roads are built of stone strips from Europe, not to mention churches and other buildings. β
"Actually, in the Age of Discovery, these stones were not cargo, but ballasting. When the ship sails on the sea when there is no cargo, it is easy to be overturned by the big waves, so the cargo is transported from Latin America to Western Europe, and when it comes back, it needs ballast, which is generally stone, mud or something, so in the Age of Discovery, the more developed the area, the more stones are left in European buildings, and the reason is that there are too many stone bars. β
Don't think that the Age of Discovery is just a few small boats roaming the seas, then it can't be called an era.
During the Ming Dynasty of China, the annual tax revenue was several million taels of silver, at least only two million, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the annual income was hundreds of millions, among which you can see how much silver flowed out of Latin America.
There is so much silver alone, as well as rubber, as well as South American tobacco, all kinds of potatoes and peppers, gold mines, copper mines, how much does it add up.
In fact, the scale of shipping back then was not much smaller than it is now.
A quarter of the time it was a Western European empty ship carrying strips of earth and stone to Latin America, and that was how many stones and dirt it was.
"Brother Gun, this adventure starts in this city?
"I didn't have this interest, I vomited for breakfast, and we went straight out of the city, and when we went out from here, we could see a small number of large estates, and then we would quickly enter the wilderness. β
"Honduras is tropical, the coast is a tropical rainforest climate, but the temperature is not high, the average annual is only 23 degrees, it is the summer of the southern hemisphere, Honduras is a little northerly, so it is not hot to the hottest time, when Brazil retreated, I said that I must go to the rainforest of Latin America again, this time. β
"Three-quarters of the country in Honduras is mountainous and plateau, and the interior is a lava plateau, with a lot of valleys and complex terrain, so in the wild, we can see a lot of Mayan ruins. β
"Aren't Mayan ruins a tourist attraction?"
"The Mayan Empire was once one of the three major empires in South America, before the Europeans came, it had collapsed, this big empire was the Stone Age Empire, stone buildings were everywhere, only half of them were developed into tourist attractions, they were the largest building complexes, and there were many small buildings and independent buildings that could not be developed into scenic spots, if any places were developed into scenic spots, there was no place in Honduras that was not a scenic spot. β
The three major groups of people living in South America, collectively known as Indians, have a common characteristic that they do not like to live in plain areas.
The reason is very simple, they are very warlike, so the areas along the mountains in Latin America are the former territories of the Mayan Empire and the Inca Empire, and they dare not live in the plains and do not dare to plant in large quantities, because once they enter the plains to plant, the harvest season is the season of extermination.
The Mayan Empire created a splendid civilization along the mountains of Mesoamerica, independent of the civilizations of Asia, Africa and Latin America, with really not too many buildings, and it was not easy to destroy.
Many buildings in our country are civil structures, and after a long time, or the new ruler builds a new city, it is easy to destroy the original building, but the stone building cannot be destroyed.
"It's a pity that we're in January, not May, otherwise we would have seen a spectacle. β
"What spectacle?"
"There is a fish rain spectacle in Honduras, where the fish in the sky are the fish swimming in the water. β
"Tease, is it possible to be swollen. β
Fang Hong smiled: "Tornadoes often form on the surface of the sea from May to July, and tornadoes sweep fish into the sky, and then land in some areas, forming a rain of fish. β
"Oh my God, so amazing?"
"Are you Xiao Yueyue, you can't move my God. β
In fact, talking all the way, Fang Hong had already left the city, and he was already on the edge of the city just now.
"We're in a coastal city now, and we're going inland through a couple of big estates, and today we're in the middle of the mountains before dark and we're going to see a different kind of rainforest. β
One corner will see the beacon tower, and then the corner will see the rainforest of the pyramids.
Looking at the area in front of him, Fang Hong was a little surprised, the mountains had already appeared.
As the road spiraled upward, Fang Hong was a little surprised: "I thought there was a big manor outside the city, but I didn't expect it to be a mining area." β
"There's nothing surprising about the mines. β
"Of course, don't be surprised by the mining area, have you ever seen a gold mine? This is a gold mining area!"
This is supposed to be the mountainside of a mountain, hollowed out in a large circular pothole, and the road goes up in a coil, and when it reaches a certain position, it begins to fork, and part of it spins down into the pothole.
"The country is full of gold, silver, copper, and iron ore, but fortunately, it should be abandoned. β
"Brother Gun, if you don't go down and take a look, maybe you can pick up gold. β
"That's what I thought, too. "Fang Hong, a fan of wealth, when he saw the exhaust gas gold mine, he was thinking about good things, and he didn't want to think that since it was abandoned, there must be no hair.
