"I'm not as good as you! I'm a layman to agarwood. Yang Rui shook his head, "When Yu Yao said that it was unusual, my thinking was biased, and I was always wandering around on antiques, thinking about whether the thing itself was special, for example, whether it was specially customized by Emperor Jiaqing or something." ”

"This leak should be picked up by Mr. Yu!" Lin Fengcao was convinced.

Yang Rui was also very convinced, the opportunity was originally his, but he was not only clumsy, but also too stubborn, he couldn't complain about others for missing the opportunity, but he had to thank Yu Yao.

However, Yang Rui said angrily, "It's just that I spent more money and let Bai Yonghai earn an extra 100,000 yuan in vain!"

Yu Yao took a sip of wine and waved his hand, "You can't say that." It's certainly true that I don't want to spend more money, but good things are about chance, and you can't be too demanding. I feel very lucky that the two of you were able to concede one after the other. ”

Lin Fengcao said with a smile, "Mr. Yu's words are on point, in fact, if you don't want to add 300,000 in one bite, just add 120,000, if I continue to top, I want to top 300,000." ”

Yu Yaoxin said, I don't plan to sell this thing, I want to collect it, even if it is added to 500,000, I won't let go! However, of course, he won't say it, and asked instead, "What kind of play does Teacher Lin usually like to play?"

"Mr. Yu's eyesight, I can be regarded as seeing it today. I'm not afraid of Mr. Yu's jokes, I'm not playing a big category, mainly bamboo and wood tooth horns, although agarwood is not strictly wooden, but it should be good at it, but I am a shortcoming in this regard. ”

"Then Mr. Lin should also be good at old furniture?"

"That's it. I know Bai Yonghai because I bought one of his pieces of Huanghuali furniture. ”

Yang Rui said, "You haven't seen it! In the past, in his house, the old furniture of Yishui'er, and the living room we were in just now, were originally all red sandalwood pear furniture. On the front wall, there is a large middle hall, Liu Yong's calligraphy, the characters are bigger than watermelons. It's all bought!"

"Have you seen why you didn't make a move?" Lin Fengcao asked.

"I've heard it too, how can I see it with my own eyes!"

Yu Yao swallowed a mouthful of meat, "Teacher Lin, you should have been buying his furniture for the past two years, and it didn't cost less, right?"

Lin Fengcao said, "No matter how much, it's always a leak." It was a noodle cabinet, and Bai Yonghai kept his bedroom as a wardrobe, and it didn't come out. He doesn't know how to do it, the noodle cabinet shape is special, and he can't understand the year, the noodle cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, he thought it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and I spent less money than buying rosewood. ”

"His ancestor was the most prominent in the late Qing Dynasty, he thought so, can't he buy an old piece of furniture from the Ming Dynasty?" Yu Yao said with a smile, "At the end of the Qing Dynasty, basically no one made a noodle cabinet, you said one, it seems that the other one is gone?"

"A connoisseur is an expert!" Lin Fengcao responded: "The noodle cabinets are all in pairs, but they are separated and separated, and the other one belongs to his second brother Bai Yonghe." But Bai Yonghe came out early, and his noodle cabinet was the leader of a big red sandalwood case. Bai Yonghai doesn't have a reference, which is also the reason why I can pick up the leakage. ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, but what Yang Rui doesn't understand the most is furniture, "Noodle cabinet?

"The noodle cabinet has nothing to do with noodles, it refers to the shape. Lin Fengcao then explained.

The noodle cabinet is a storage cabinet, and the name is a common name, and the reason why it is called is because it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and it is a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front. When you put down noodles or eat noodles, you pick them up with chopsticks, and a bunch of noodles is also narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

Noodle cabinet is a common name for Yanjing and the northern region, and it is also commonly known in the south, called Daxiaotou. The English name is also very vivid, called "A-shaped cabinet" or "A-shaped cabinet".

The noodle cabinet has a great advantage, it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the two doors are the same, because of the center of gravity, you don't have to worry about it after opening, it can slowly close by itself.

Noodle cabinets are mainly more common in the Ming Dynasty, and they are basically in pairs. After the Qing Dynasty, it gradually decreased, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, no one did it.

Because pairs of noodle cabinets can not be placed next to each other, there will be an inverted triangle gap in the middle, which is ugly; In addition to this reason, it may also be related to the aesthetic changes in furniture in the Qing Dynasty.

I don't know why my ancestors bought this pair of noodle cabinets of the Bai family, but their house is large, so they don't have to worry about the lack of space in the house.

"It's a pity that I've been asking about the other one, but I've never been able to hear about it. After Lin Fengcao finished speaking, he sighed again, "It's still what Mr. Yu said, antiques have to pay attention to chance, and they can't be forced." ”

When Lin Fengcao introduced the noodle cabinet, he was concise and accurate, and Yang Rui didn't understand, and his tone didn't feel half condescending. This made Yang Rui, who had already eliminated his dislike for him, feel a little good, and raised his glass and said, "Follow the teacher to learn, go one!"

Putting down the wine glass, Yang Rui looked at Yu Yao, "Ming'er called Teacher Lin to join us." ”

"What can I say about this?" Yu Yao smiled.

"Oh, tomorrow Saturday, are you going to the market?" Lin Fengcao agreed.

"Yes, hurry up, let's come along, Mr. Lin, you don't have to go to work on weekends anyway. ”

Lin Fengcao thought for a while, "But I'm going to the western suburbs tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Is this also a good thing?" Yang Rui's eyes lit up.

"Robbing again?" Lin Fengcao glared at him.

"If you let me go, I will resolutely not rob this time, and I will open my eyes to the head office, right?" Yang Rui thought for a while, "Tomorrow Pan Jiayuan in the morning, and it will be too late to go to the western suburbs in the afternoon!"

Yu Yao lit a cigarette and then lit Yang Rui, "I said at the beginning that I would let Teacher Lin eat together, and you were still making trouble!"

"Hey, you have to go too! Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, give Mr. Lin a staff officer!" Yang Rui said.

Lin Fengcao joked, "Mr. Yu can go, I naturally can't ask for it." But I can't afford to pay for his eyesight and appraisal fees!"

"Teacher Lin, what is it?" asked Yu Yao.

"It's a pair of chairs, just old. Lin Fengcao responded, "It's a relative of one of my students, and this student knows that I like old furniture, and his relative also happens to want to sell it." But my student didn't understand, so I contacted yesterday and made an appointment to go tomorrow afternoon. ”

Yang Rui squinted and smiled, "Your student's relative, if it's a leak, are you embarrassed to pick it up?"

"These are two different things. And tomorrow my student won't show up. Lin Fengcao then said, "You are a public official, and you collect things in private, aren't you afraid of any impact?"

"I've always had a clear distinction between public and private. Well, you're right, two different things. ”

When the three of them finished eating and leaving, it was already past eight o'clock, Yang Rui drank a lot and called a substitute driver. I wanted to send them together, but Lin Fengcao lived far away from Yang Rui, and Yu Yao also insisted that Yang Rui go back early, and in the end, Yang Rui didn't resist them, and left with the substitute driver first.
