When the two of them were talking, Yu Yao didn't stop, and the man with glasses kept talking.

However, when he said that there was no way to make such a decision, Yu Yao paused, "It seems that you know things, but you don't know the owner of the goods." ”

"Little brother is amazing, it's true!"

It turns out that the man with glasses is a gamer and is particularly fond of old woodwork and furniture. However, this guy is a halfway monk, and he has no one to guide him, his eyesight is average, and his path is not good.

A few days ago, the gas company inspected the gas meter in this bungalow area, and this small man found a "long table" in an old lady's house.

When the two of them were having dinner that night, the little thing was told to the man with glasses, saying that the old lady had a table at home, and the wood was good, like Huanghuali, and the legs of the four tables were carved with dragons and phoenixes.

The man with glasses got up. It's a pity that he went from house to house too much on the day he was young, and he forgot which household the old lady's house was, and only remembered the general direction.

The man with glasses was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, held back for two days, and came up with this method, dressed as a collector of old furniture, and asked from door to door in the general range of these houses.

Not to mention, after asking the two families, one of them really came out of an old lady, and said that there was indeed old furniture to deal with.

The man with glasses was overjoyed, and was about to follow into the door, but at this time, three tattered ones suddenly appeared, and they were about to beat him, and the old lady saw it, and was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door.

After the man with glasses was pushed twice, he ran away with his head in his hands, and then he bumped into Yu Yao.

Yu Yao heard what he said, and secretly said in his heart, through his description, if this "long table" is really Huanghuali's, and there are carvings on the legs, then it may not be an ordinary thing.

"Little brother, you help people to the end, if it's really good, I can accept it smoothly, and I will definitely give you benefits!" The man with glasses groaned slightly after seeing Yu Yao hear this, and couldn't help but say quickly.

"How can I help you?" Yu Yao took out a cigarette, the man with glasses waved his hand and said no, and Yu Yao lit it himself.

"It's nothing, if you go with me, it will delay you for more than ten minutes at most. The man with glasses explained, "I was looking for trouble by those three who collected the rags, and the old lady saw it, I was afraid that she wouldn't let me in if I went again, with you, explain, I think she would believe it." ”

Yu Yao thought about it, although he didn't want to do much, he still couldn't resist the attraction of Huanghuali's old painting case, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”

The two turned back, and the man with glasses took Yu Yao to the door of a small courtyard and rang the doorbell on the door frame.

Sure enough, an old lady with silver hair came to open the door, looking more than seventy years old, she couldn't help frowning when she saw the man with glasses, "Why are you here again?"

"Auntie, listen to me. The man with glasses hurriedly said, "I actually don't collect rags, I specialize in collecting old furniture, but I was misunderstood by a few rags, but fortunately I met my friend to solve the siege." ”

Yu Yao nodded, "It's the first time he's here in this area, and he's afraid that people won't believe it, so he dressed like this." I've already said him, isn't this a snake to add to it? Just say that the old furniture is collected, and it's no such thing! I didn't surprise you, did I?"

"I see!" the expression on the old lady's face softened considerably.

The two struck while the iron was hot, and after a few more words, the old lady finally let them into the courtyard.

The old lady took them to a side room, which resembled a utility room, and was piled with some old furniture. But here, there are no old things, just old furniture from previous years.

"Anything else?" asked the man with glasses.

"Don't you take these?"

"Yes, but the wood and workmanship of these furniture are very average, and they are not worth a few dollars. ”

"And how much can you give?"

"If you want to take it all, a hundred dollars!" said the man in glasses.

"Don't talk about it! I might as well give it away!" the old lady waved her hand.

The man with glasses continued, "Auntie, do you have any beautiful old furniture to sell at home?"

The old lady rubbed her hands, as if remembering something, "By the way, there is an old table in the living room, it's useless, it takes up space, the day before yesterday, my old man said that he was going to sell it, and now he went out to play chess, you wait, I'll call and ask him." ”

"Why don't we take a look!"

"Okay, come on. The old lady then led them into the living room of the main room, and in the corner of the living room, there was indeed a "long table", which was two meters long, more than half a meter wide, and about one meter high. It was placed against the wall, with some books piled up on it, and some miscellaneous items.

"You look first. I'll give my old man a call. The old lady picked up her phone and sat down on the sofa.

Yu Yao looked at it, and sure enough, it was a long case, not a long table. Before, the man with glasses said that there was a carving on his leg, and Yu Yao thought of this.

It is said that the table is the case, but there is a difference between the case and the table. The difference is not in the size and height, but in the legs.

The position of the leg is obviously retracted into a piece, and it is called a case. If the leg position is against the corners, or just slightly indented, then call the table.

The ancients made a clear distinction between the desk and the table, and this is because it also carries spiritual things.

To put it simply, the level of the case should be high, and the level of the table should be low. For example, we say that the case is started and the case is amazing, but when we say "slap the table", the mood is relatively low.

The Chinese culture is broad and profound, which can also be seen in the distinction of a name.

The four legs of this long case are not only clearly indented, but also have large edges, on which are carved and embossed. However, it is not a carved dragon and a phoenix, but a crest, which is still different from the conventional dragon pattern, the knife work is exquisite and round, and the effect is ancient and vigorous.

Yu Yao was staring at the legs, but the man with glasses let out a sigh.

Different eyesight leads to different results. The man with glasses didn't take a closer look at the most critical legs, but found that this long case was painted!

Previously said hard wood and firewood, this hardwood furniture, it is generally not painted. If a layman paints it, it is extremely troublesome to remove it unscathed.

This long case is not only painted with a layer of varnish, but also with a layer of dark yellow lacquer.

"Huang is Huang Huali?" muttered the man with glasses, and couldn't help but scold him for being small.

If it was just paint, the man with glasses might take a closer look, but the surface of this long case is made of very small wooden strips one by one, not boards.

The man with glasses didn't take a closer look at the legs, but in fact, there were some places at the bottom of the legs that were peeling off the paint, vaguely revealing the wooden background.

Yu Yao looked at the expression of the man with glasses, and he understood, this guy said that he was a player who liked old furniture, but in fact, his level was really not good.
