Chapter 176: Dyeing Huanghuali
"I'm sorry, I'll ask you one more question, do you want to sell this thing after you received it?" Wu Duo asked next.
When the man heard this, he immediately smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Duo said, "Shall I take a good look first?"
"Well, I'll move it down!"
"No, no, I'll just see it that way. Wu Duo waved his hand. He had already seen it just now, and he just wanted to listen to it.
After listening, Wu Duo made up his mind and first foreshadowed, "What is this thing for?"
"It's called a couch, it's a bed in ancient times! You're young, you may not have heard of storytelling. Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Gan stole books, Zhou Yu said: I haven't slept with Ziyi for a long time, and I slept tonight! And what is the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin said: Lying next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?"
This man is quite able to speak, and he has a lot of noise, and from time to time he imitates the tone of the storyteller.
"No, is this thing so old?" Wu Duo asked again.
"I definitely won't be able to reach the Song Dynasty. The couch was used as a bed in the earliest days, and later when there was a bed, it became a tool for resting; before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were still many houses in the doors! Therefore, this couch is also from the Republic of China at the latest!"
"If you say that, it must be expensive, right? I may not be able to afford it!" Wu Duo deliberately showed timidity.
"Dude, are you here for a tour?" asked the man.
"yes, isn't this a walk through the alleys?"
"Whew, why are you running to Nancheng, how fun it is to go to Houhai. Besides, you're here to travel, such a big guy, it's not easy to afford it. ”
"It doesn't matter, I just like old things, people play here for a few days, and the things are sent back by courier first. ”
The man listened and nodded, "I'll give you a solid foundation, I collected one thousand five, I was going to send it to the old grandson who was struggling with the old furniture, and I could earn five hundred if I said the least, but if you want to buy it, I'll give you one thousand eight, save effort, isn't it?"
In fact, this couch cost only 800, and the man received 500 after bargaining.
He was originally a waste collector, but he only met Lao Sun Tou this year and began to collect old furniture, because he didn't know much about it, so the price was particularly ruthless. When I entered this courtyard just now, I also told people that I looked good at a pair of circle chairs, but because the price was too ruthless, the negotiation collapsed, so I came out empty-handed.
"It's so expensive?" Wu Duo looked "surprised".
"It's still expensive! What kind of old furniture is red sandalwood pear, there are millions of them!"
"It's cheaper. ”
"Couldn't have been cheaper. No, forget it, I'll send it to the old grandson, and I'll make two hundred more than selling you!" the man said and got on the tricycle. However, he wants to indulge in this hand, and he is much worse than the people in the antique market.
Even if Wu Duo knew that he wanted to capture him, he also responded, "Okay, okay, one thousand eight is one thousand eight." ”
"You're picking up a bargain, this thing is painted again, it's beautiful!" the man smiled and took out his mobile phone, "Oh, scan the code!"
Wu Duoxin said, how can this be painted? This can't even be brushed with oil, this has to be waxed!
This couch is an old piece of furniture from the Ming Dynasty!
And it's Hainan Huanghuali!
Why do you look like this bear?
Because during the Republic of China, it was dyed, and after several decades, it faded and faded, and it became this strange color! There are places where the color fades badly, and the yellow and brown base is leaked.
A good Ming Dynasty Huanghuali furniture, even if it is the Republic of China period, it is also a good thing, how can it be dyed?
Because in the Republic of China, as far as the furniture is concerned, the special fire of red sandalwood is much more expensive than that of Huanghuali, and there are many furniture that dyes Huanghuali purple and black to mix with red sandalwood! There are new furniture made at that time, and there are also old furniture handed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This couch, if all of them are made of Hainan Huanghuali, then as the man said, it can really be worth millions!
However, Wu Duo has not been lucky to the extreme.
Because of this couch, the frame and the six short feet are yellow pear, but the couch is elm; at the same time, the couch is a little lower than the border, because there was a matching rattan mat, but the rattan mat is now gone. Originally, there was a rattan mat, indicating that it was a couch.
The man said that it was not heavy, and it was precisely because of this that if it were all Huanghuali, the weight would definitely be much heavier.
Then again, if the whole set is made of Huanghuali material, even if it is dyed, the original owner and the man will be able to study it carefully according to the weight, so they will not deal with it so casually.
But even so, after cleaning it out, hundreds of thousands are always worth it, after all, it is the old furniture of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if you only count the border and six short-legged yellow rosewood wood, one thousand eight is a big leak!
After scanning the code and giving the money, Wu Duo smiled and said, "Big brother, are there any express logistics receiving points nearby?"
"Yes, go forward, out of the alley, turn left for dozens of meters, there is a Fengshun, I also happened to be on the way, just send it to you. ”
"Ouch, thank you so much!" Wu Duo was not polite, so he followed the tricycle and sent it to the express delivery point together.
The man rode away, Wu Duo thought about it, called Luo Yuze, and asked him if he could collect an old piece of furniture on his behalf. Of course, to let him collect it is to let him sell it.
As soon as Luo Yuze heard the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali couch, he agreed, "Don't worry, I'll find a professional master to brush it out, and I'll make a move when you come back to see it!"
Wu Duo was in a very happy mood, and remembered that he had promised Ning Shuang to cook for her, so he inquired and went to a nearby supermarket to purchase ingredients.
As soon as Ning Shuang came back, she told Wu Duo that Shen Yunzhou would have time tomorrow morning, and this matter was really going well.
Wu Duo smiled, "Good things come one after another." ”
"What's the good thing?"
Wu Duo talked about buying a couch in the afternoon, and then started cooking in the kitchen, and Ning Shuang followed.
This kitchen is a little smaller, and it is a little difficult for two people to move around, but fortunately, there is no need to prepare too many dishes, Wu Duo made a large plate of braised pork, a dry fried beans, a fish-flavored eggplant, a meat and two vegetables, all work.
Ning Shuang ate very happily, and he wanted to feed Wu Duo with vegetables, and Wu Duo was really a little uncomfortable for a while, "I said, looking at your state, do I have to stay overnight tonight to make a promise?"
Ning Shuang knocked on the edge of the plate with chopsticks, "You go back tonight and rest early, and tomorrow I have an appointment with Mr. Shen at six o'clock in the morning." ”
"When you came back, you said morning, but why is it so early?"
"A lot of his tools are in the office, and I made an appointment to meet in the office. His office, after eight o'clock, is often crowded with visitors!"
"Okay, then my stay overnight won't affect my early wake-up tomorrow. ”
"No! It's a matter of principle!"
"They all say that eating other people's mouths is short, you eat mine, and you still tell me the principle. ”
Ning Shuang suddenly leaned over, "Okay, give you back!"
