Many people have a misunderstanding that good furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties is made of hardwood such as red sandalwood pear, and "cork" such as fir is not good.

This is a very common idea, but it is actually wrong.

When he was in the Banmen world, Lian Tianqing once specifically refuted Xu Wen.

Of course, the angle of his refutation is not quite consistent with the direction that Xu Wen understands now, but it is also a very sufficient evidence.

Many people in the class world are also after hardwood, even to a kind of morbid degree.

As long as it is hardwood furniture, whether it is good or bad, it will be raised to a certain extent, and the corresponding non-hardwood varieties will be devalued, even without looking at the production process and production level.

This kind of thing exists no matter what era.

At that time, Lian Tianqing sneered: "Everyone knows that hardwood is good, and of course hardwood is good." But what is the reason why hardwood is hardwood? Because it is hard and has a fine texture! How is this quality and this texture formed? Is it not because it grows incredibly slowly? Everybody wants hardwood, where do you get so many hardwoods!"

"I don't know moderation, I cut it down, the hardwood in this world grows slowly and cuts fast, and one day they will cut it down!"

At that time, Xu Wen thought of what he had seen in the history books. He didn't know anything about furniture before, and he had a bit of an impression of it.

Even Tianqing is very far-sighted, and he is not wrong at all.

Two of the most prized hardwoods, red sandalwood and huanghuali, have been virtually extinct due to over-harvesting, and furniture made from them is very valuable – that is, very expensive.

At that time, Xu Wen was still thinking, in this way, things are scarce and expensive, although it does not conform to the concept of environmental protection, but in terms of market rules, it makes sense that furniture made of these materials is expensive.

It didn't take long for Xu Wen to fully understand what his master meant.

Not all the wood recovered from the outside of the old wood yard needs to be identified by Lian Tianqing and Lian Linlin.

Sometimes, before it is collected, it will be handed over and simply put on the account, especially after that monthly assessment, and there are more and more such things.

As an apprentice in the old woodyard, Xu Wen often had to go to receive goods.

This time he received a slip with the name of the timber written on it - Eagle Flat Wood.

Xu Wen was confused when he saw this name.

What kind of wood is this, I haven't heard of it before, is it rare wood?

He excitedly went over to check, isn't this a fir tree!

In the evening, he told Lian Linlin, and Lian Linlin immediately laughed.

After all, the little girl has learned longer than him and knows more than him.

She said, "Yes, Takahira is a cedar tree. Daddy didn't teach you, did he? Because this name is a fallacy. ”

The term was first coined in a royal procurement.

One item in the list given at that time was "1,300 Eagle Flat Wood", and the procurement at that time was a little confused like Xu Wen now.

What kind of wood is this Eagle Flat Wood? I haven't heard of it!

This is passed down layer by layer, and it is not clear until it spreads.

The so-called "Eagle Flat Wood" should be read as "Eagle Flat Wood".

Eagle refers to the scaffolding, and flat timber refers to the flat-headed fir wood, which refers to the two specifications of the fir wood.

Eagle scaffle fir refers to the part of the fir from the middle to the treetops, the treetop part is relatively thin, can be used as scaffolding, in ancient times called scaffolding.

Flat-headed fir is the part of the fir tree from the root to the middle, and the thickness of the two ends is about the same, and it can be used as a beam and column.

The royal family purchased cedar wood in large quantities for use in construction and furniture.

Xu Wen suddenly realized, but also understood Lian Tianqing's meaning again.

Fir is a typical high-quality cork, even the royal court has to buy a large number of fir wood to use, why do ordinary people look down on cork?

This also shows that cork or neutral wood furniture is also an important branch of antique furniture and should also be taken seriously.

When he counted the statistics before, Xu Wen saw these fir chairs at a glance.

He chose them first of all because fir was the one he was most familiar with, and his fir was as picky as even azure.

Another important reason is that most of the fir furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties has red paint, and he does not have enough materials in his hands to repair the lacquered furniture.

No matter how you look at it, in the current situation, this set of official hat chairs is the most suitable for his requirements.

Soon, Xu Wen checked the details of each part of this set of official hat chairs, sorted out the repair plan, and began to clean the dirt on its surface.

The structure of the official hat chair is not complicated, the cedar wood is easy to operate, and although Xu Wen is rigorous, it is also very fast.

Two sunrises and sunsets, he completed the first Fuzi chair.

The moment it was finished, there was a sudden rustling sound next to it.

This voice came very suddenly, and when he heard it suddenly, Xu Wen felt a little hairy in his heart.

Got a snake?

He looked to the side and saw that the sawdust on the ground was slowly moving in a fixed direction, gradually forming words.

"Mission done. Reward: Two days of free time. This chair is at the discretion of the restorer. ”

I didn't release any tasks in the early stage, but after Xu Wen completed the repair, it was automatically displayed as completed.

The difficulty of repairing the Officer's Hat Chair is certainly much greater than repairing the barrel, but the quest reward has been reduced a bit, and the free time has been reduced from three days to two days.

But what does the latter sentence mean?

Free disposal, does it mean that he can take out this chair and sell it?

In an instant, Xu Wen suddenly realized.

Is that what happened?

This is Jing Cheng, no, this Xu Mansion prepared a "way to make money" for him.

Some of the items in the Four Seasons Hall can be sold to the outside world after he repairs them, and the money from the sale can be used to buy materials and tools for the next repair, so as to form a cycle and obtain funds to repair this mansion!

The only thing he had to do in the process was to figure out how the chairs came from.

Xu Wen pondered for a moment, and did not directly use up the two days of free time - two days was too short to do anything, but settled down and continued to repair the second chair.

Restoration can only be carried out during the day, and no work can be done at night.

Throughout the day, Xu Wen was immersed in the restoration of the official hat chair.

It was not the first time he had restored it on his own, but it was the first time that he had restored such a treasure on his own.

It's as if he's gotten the world's most precious toy, obsessed with repairs and having no time to care about anything else.

It's so much fun to fix this kind of thing!

The only problem he has now is that after finishing the day, he can't sleep in bed for a while at night, and he feels a little lonely.

There is no internet, no signal, and no way to check information.

It would be nice to have a book to read......

Xu Wen thought so countless times.

After each chair was repaired, Xu Zhai would use various methods to inform him to complete the task.

Each chair gives him two days of free time, and sure enough, he has free rein for all four chairs.

After ten sunrises and sunsets, all four hat chairs were repaired and polished for another two days to stabilize all the materials used.

A soft white light fills the patio, and the soft yellow wood is as smooth and delicate as jade.

Xu Wen touched the back of his chair and stood up.

The ball came out of nowhere, and jumped onto his shoulder with a few jumps.

Xu Wen touched its little black head and walked out of the door of Xu's house again.

When he went out this time, his mentality was much calmer than last time. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, it was dark and bright all around, and he reappeared in the small living room in the basement of the Rong Mansion.
