Chapter 19: The Treasure of the Town Stall

At the end of the episode, Wu Duo patted the dog cage, "You are really good at fertilizer, you recognize it as a fake monk, right?"

Fertilizer shook his head and lay down again.

Wu Duo carried the dog cage, looked around, and then walked up the stone steps;

Since you're here, you might as well ask the stall for a mouthful. Thinking so, Wu Duo stepped forward.

These stalls sell mostly special handicrafts, including wooden beads, Buddhist altars, incense burners, candlesticks, and so on.

Wu Duo walked to a stall and squatted down.

The owner of this stall is a thin man who looks like he is in his thirties. The reason why Wu Duo chose his stall is because the other stall owners are aunts and sisters;

"Brother, how do you sell this bracelet?" Wu Duo first picked up a string of bead bracelets of about 2.0 and said.

"Little brother, you really have a vision, this is the treasure of my town stall! Authentic black-fleshed old mountain sandalwood, the abbot in Yunye Temple has opened the light!" the stall owner grinned, his teeth were quite white, "It hasn't opened yet, you sincerely want it, just give a thousand!"

Wu Duo sneered in his heart, he hadn't recognized the wood of this bracelet yet, but the authentic black meat Laoshan sandalwood, a string of bracelets with a 2.0 bead diameter, a thousand yuan to buy?

And the smell is weird.

The wood of Laoshan sandalwood, like the small-leaved red sandalwood, is also mainly produced in India. According to the level from low to high, the order is yellow meat, red meat, and dark meat. This black meat must have a growth period of more than 100 years and be stored for decades after cutting to have the effect, because the core material is oily, dense, and mellow, so it looks a little black.

At the same time, the sandalwood flavor of black meat is generally very sufficient.

Nowadays, it is not easy to see real black meat on the market, and it is basically new ingredients.

"Have you opened the light?" Wu Duo asked with this words, "What is the origin of this Cloud Leaf Temple?"

"This Yunye Temple is a Pure Land Temple, dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, that is, Amitayus Buddha. The stall owner wanted to sell something, and he immediately explained.

"It's impossible to have dogs in this temple, right? There are no stray dogs around this temple. ”

"Of course it's impossible to have dogs, and there are no dogs around. Qianhui Mountain's management and sanitation are very strict, how can a stray dog like such a place!" The stall owner said, looking at the dog cage beside Wu Duo, "What's the matter?

"Brother is joking, what kind of light does the dog drive?"

"Who says you can't, you can hang a brightened sign for him!" the stall owner picked up a small wooden sign, and there was nothing on it, just a simple cut and polished square wooden card.

"Thanks, I'll take a look at it again. When Wu Duo heard this, there was nothing to ask, so he prepared to leave.

The stall owner was unhappy and was about to speak, but another old lady squatted down in front of the stall. The old lady was dressed very plainly, and she still held a string of Buddha beads in her hand, like a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha.

She pointed to a wooden candlestick at the back of the stall, "Boss, I'll take a look at the candlestick." ”

The stall owner didn't talk to Wu Duo anymore, picked up the candlestick and handed it over.

Wu Duoben wanted to get up, but he was attracted by this candlestick. He hadn't paid much attention to the candlestick before, but at this time, the candlestick was held in the old lady's hand, and when it shook in the sunlight, it seemed to glow with a hint of gold······

"Auntie, you really have a vision, this is the treasure of my town stall!" The stall owner didn't mind that Wu Duo was still there, and used the "treasure of the town stall" on the bracelet on the candlestick again.

"It's pretty chic to look at. The old lady replied.

"That's, this is a candlestick made of gloomy wood of Jin Sinan, and it's an old antique from the Qing Dynasty, it's a good thing!" said the stall owner.

"Aren't all candlesticks a pair?"

"I said it's an old antique, and I can't help it!" the stall owner replied, "This can also be used alone!"

"Isn't there any other candlestick?" the old lady was obviously not interested in the so-called antiques, "I want to use it, it must be a pair!"

"Yes, yes!" the stall owner also saw that the old lady was not interested in this, so he immediately took out a pair of brand-new candlesticks from the large cardboard box beside him, and the outside was still wrapped in jute paper, "This is mahogany, the workmanship is very good, and it is also of high grade." ”

Seeing that the old lady put down the single old candlestick, Wu Duo picked it up and said to the stall owner, "I'll take a look." ”

The stall owner was busy with the old lady's business, so he only nodded to Wu Duo, and then talked to the old lady again.

Wu Duo first took a closer look, this candlestick has a height of one foot, the base is semicircular, the middle is cylindrical, the top is saucer-shaped, the overall shape is relatively simple, there is not too much carving, only a few strings.

This is really like the gloomy wood of Jin Sinan, but the quality of the wood is average.

Gloomy wood is a charred wood that has undergone natural changes, so it is lighter to start, and it is not suitable for candlesticks, because candles will be inserted on the candlesticks, and the light wood is not stable.

However, the base of this candlestick is sealed with copper, so that the bottom is much heavier and becomes stable.

After examining it, Wu Duo put on the middle finger of his left hand······

When Wu Duo was done, the old lady also bought a pair of new candlesticks and left.

"Brother, how do you sell this candlestick?"

"Look at it, say that you have vision, you just have vision! Everything you look at is the treasure of my town stall!" The stall owner just took the old lady's hand, and he was in a good mood, "This is the only old antique I have here, and it is very expensive to collect!"

Wu Duo smiled and waited for the following.

"In this way, I will give you the lowest price, a whole number of 10,000 yuan!How about it?"

"Yen?" Wu Duo laughed.

Many people know that golden silk nan wood has been a precious wood since ancient times, and it is limited to the royal use, so when it comes to golden silk nan, it will feel that it is worth a lot.

But in fact, the modern golden silk nan wood handicrafts and the golden silk nan gloomy wood handicrafts, the price of both is about the same, and they are not very high, depending on the quality.

For example, a string of beaded bracelets of gloomy wood of Jin Sinan, ordinary condition, dozens of pieces can be done.

And if the quality is good, the water ripples are beautiful and full, and it will reach hundreds or more than a thousand.

Of course, there are also expensive ones at the collection level, such as gentian striae, tumors and scars, which may cost tens of thousands.

Therefore, the value of small handicrafts, even if they accumulate to the same amount, is not the same as the whole wood and large furniture. Crafts can even be made with offcuts.

Moreover, ancient and modern times are different in that the ancient technology conditions were limited and the market was not open.

This golden silk nan's gloomy wood candlestick, from the value of the wood, is a matter of several hundred yuan.

Wu Duo is not haggling.
