Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Chapter 1196: American birds (5/5)

Taking advantage of the sunshine in the afternoon, people picking up treasures are busy picking up what they have photographed.

Li Du waved his hand, and Godzilla and the bodyguards went in to clean up the exhibition room he took.

The director of Saatchi stood beside him in despair, watching him wave his hand to arrange for people to enter, and asked with wide eyes, "You photographed this room?"

"Yes," Li Du laughed. "I took a few rooms and wanted to see if I could make some money from them."

Curator Saatchi is by no means an excellent businessman. When he heard what Li Du said, Limara held his arm and said, "This museum has been cleaned up by the city government, banks and several universities. How can there be anything valuable in it? Why don't you sell me the things in this house, I'll give you two thousand dollars ... "

Li Du looked a little weird.

After noticing this, the chattering curator of Saatchi changed his statement again. He swallowed and tried hard to say, "Yes, I have a lot of affection for the buildings and tables and chairs here. I want to buy tables and chairs."

Li Dudao: "I respect your feelings for this building, but if you want to buy some tables and chairs, not only I have them here, but also many other rooms ..."

"I'll buy them all," Curator Saatchi interrupted. "I'll buy all the tables and chairs and put them in my home to reproduce the museum scene."

As he spoke, he looked pitiful, and continued, "You will promise a bad old man, right? You will definitely promise, I have lived here for a lifetime, and God, I have become one with this place. ... "

At this point, his expression suddenly changed, he closed his mouth slowly, and then stared at Li Du carefully.

Li Du was flabbergasted by him and said, "What's wrong, Mr. Doctor?"

Director Saatchi said, "Last night, last night I saw you on the street? Are you guys right?"

He looked at Godzilla and others, whose shape and appearance were more recognizable.

Li Du generously said, "Yes, I was walking around last night. We did meet, what happened?"

Director Saatchi's complexion turned blue. He stopped talking and stared at Li Du again with straight eyes.

Li Du shrugged, no longer ignored him, and directed everyone to pack the contents.

Now the exhibition room is in a mess, the shattered ceiling is falling down, the cement blocks, wooden floors and their fragments are falling everywhere.

Godzilla cleared out a table, and with both hands, he pulled Nine Cows and dragged the large table out.

The table is solid wood, which was originally very hard, but now it has fallen from the second floor and was hit by concrete blocks and chairs during the fall process. The table is inevitably scattered.

Godzilla dragged it with brute force, the table broke completely, the table was pulled apart, and the solid wood table finally broke apart.

This table was originally sturdy. Instead of using four legs to support the table, it used two thick, wide solid wood planks.

After the tabletop was pulled down, a wooden board revealed the hollow inside.

Godzilla glanced inside and said strangely, "Oh, boss, there's something inside."

Li Du asked: "What? No one would hide silver coins in the prison warehouse like that?"

Godzilla shook his head and said, "No, it's a big book."

Li Du said disappointed: "Who would put books in the table support? What books?"

"A big book." Godzilla lifted the wooden board and poured the book out, and then a super-large book that was one meter long, sixty or seventy centimeters wide, and more than ten centimeters thick was poured out.

Seeing this book, curator Saatchi's expression changed greatly, but instead of reading more, he hid aside and made a phone call.

With a look of wonder, Li Du moved the book out, and treasure pickers were attracted around him. They all came together and asked, "What book is this? Why is it so big?"

With a name on the cover, Li Du read: "Birds of the Americas? The author is John James Audubon. Who knows this book and this person?"

John James Audubon, the name is not well known to the Chinese, but to the Americans, it is absolutely thunderous.

Just as Chinese students have done the stories of ancient scientists Zhang Heng, Shen Kuo, Xu Xiake and others from elementary school, American students have also learned the story of John James Audubon.

Looking at the names in this book, some treasure pickers were stunned: "God, John James Audubon? Well-known painter and naturalist two centuries ago, the bird illustrations he made have always been American. National treasure. "

"This is the book," Birds of the Americas, God! Am I not dreaming? Did you find a "Birds of the Americas"? This is the national treasure he is famous for! "

"Yes, that's it, Birds of the Americas, Turkey, and Tetrapods of the Americas. These books are national treasures."

The exclamation of the treasure picker attracted more people to come to www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but the curator of Saatchi didn't come near, he went to the side and looked at the street outside with a somber look.

Soon after discussions, Li Du learned about Audubon.

In the minds of Americans, this Mr. Audubon is as famous as modern European scientists and medieval Renaissance artists. He has left countless paintings throughout his life. Each work is not only an important material for scientific research, but also A rare masterpiece of art.

The American academic community called Audubon "the greatest bird naturalist in history". He was born in France in 1785 and immigrated to North America at the age of 18.

Because of his excellent hunting skills in the countryside when he was a child, Audubon came to North America to hunt a large number of birds, fixed them with wire to make temporary specimens, and then drew them according to a one-to-one ratio.

This approach is a bit cruel today, but because of technology at the time, naturalists could only rely on this method to accurately record the details of the appearance of wild animals.

Everyone was doing this at the time. Audubon's reputation for many years is because he has improved the painting methods of bird museums through years of bird watching and big bird experience.

The birds in his pen no longer stand as silly as in the early paintings, but show various natural habits: flying, foraging, brooding, hatching, fighting, and so on.

Because a large number of birds have become extinct in recent times, people must understand these birds hundreds of years ago only through these museums.

Among them, Audubon's museum paintings are the best way, and among these best ways of understanding, there is a road to Kangzhuang, which is the "Bird of the Americas" in the hands of Li Du.

Someone checked the book's current transaction price on the Internet, then opened his mouth in shock. Others went to check and they would open their mouths when they saw the price.
