Chapter 228: Don't look at the red sandalwood chair
Using gold and pearl to compare the price, the pearl is very disadvantaged, because the proportion of gold is large, and the weight of a small piece of gold catches up with a large piece of pearl.
Even if we use this method of price comparison, 82 grams of pearl is equivalent to 410 grams of gold, and a pound in the Ming Dynasty is basically 500 grams, but it is only 16 taels and 1 catty, and 410 grams is more than 13 taels. One tael of gold is topped with ten taels of silver, which is one hundred and thirty taels of silver.
In the Ming Dynasty, one or two silvers could hold a very high-grade banquet.
In fact, there is no way to calculate at all, the stages of social development are different, the level of productivity is different, and various material needs are different.
However, it is certain that the pearl was very precious in the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Fengcao and Yu Yao combined, this 82-gram piece of amber is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars now, to say the least. At the same time, this is only the value of materials, not counting the value of antiques, which is after all a thing of the Ming Dynasty. So this Ming Dynasty Po pen holder is more than a million things.
At that time, the person who made the pen holder from this piece of pearl was obviously very knowledgeable, and the shape of the pen holder at that time may have been similar to that of the pen holder, so in order to reduce the loss, he carved it with ※.
At the same time, the grinding is also coarse, because the finer the polishing, the more it will be grinded off. This makes the grain pattern on the surface plus the slurry, a bit like the caviar pattern of rhino horn.
Buying more than a million things with fifteen thousand is, of course, a big leak.
"Why do I feel like it's a bit of a fantasy today?" Yang Rui touched his head.
"That's why I said, luck is important. And these leaks are not being picked up, and people don't sell this kind of thing in the first place! Just a piece of green jade is considered a jade stall, but the stall owner is also mainly engaged in modern handicrafts. Yu Yao said to Yang Rui.
Lin Fengcao sighed, "There is another sentence, I have a deep understanding, listen to people's persuasion, eat enough! Originally, I didn't really want to visit Panjiayuan, but you invited me, but I was embarrassed to refuse; later, I didn't want to visit the stalls and greenhouses, but you made me change my mind." ”
Yang Rui laughed, "Okay, you invited it at noon." ”
"That's fine. But now you listen to me, you don't like to go to the store, you go for a walk. Lin Fengcao responded.
The three of them went to the shop area together.
In fact, many store owners, a considerable part of the source of goods, are caught from the stalls and put in the store to sell. Generally, if you open a store, you need to have more funds, eyesight, and connections.
The advantage of the store is that there is a place where you can talk about business and trade, so you pay attention to regular customers, big customers, and shopkeepers with new faces often don't pay much attention, especially those who visit the lights, and they are sent away in a few words.
Only those who look like real players will say a few more words and have the opportunity to develop long-term customers. Then there are those who come to sell things, and they will be more attentive when they have good things.
I went in and out of several stores, but I didn't find anything that fitted my eyes, but there were real things and good things, but the price was not ambiguous at all.
The three of them walked to the door of a store that mainly sells old woodware, Lin Fengcao wanted to go in and have a look, Yang Rui waved his hand, "You two go in and see, I'll smoke a cigarette outside." ”
Yu Yao was actually not very interested, "In this way, Mr. Lin, you look at it first, I will also smoke one, and I will go in when I am finished." "This means, if you come out before you finish a cigarette, then you don't have to go in.
If it doesn't come out by then, then it's possible to see something, and it's not too late to go in.
As a result, Yu Yao kept smoking, and Lin Fengcao entered the store before he came out.
When I went in, Lin Fengcao really fell in love with something and was negotiating with the shopkeeper.
This is a Qing Dynasty Huanghuali Maza, but the soft mat is not the original, it is newly matched, the material is beautiful, light yellow bran pear with patterns.
The price has not been able to come down, the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, and he will not give an inch, "You get what you pay for, you can't buy good things at the price you say." ”
"Good things can cost more. But you're a mazar, you're a small worker, and the main thing is that the material is beautiful. ”
"I can't hide it, I'm really high on this thing, I really can't come down. ”
At this point, the shopkeeper is not lying, it is indeed high and cannot be lowered. This is not a bulk string of wooden beads and the like, the previous has already been earned, and the last two pieces can even be sold at cost price. This single piece of old stuff can't go high and low.
"Forget it. Lin Fengcao understood and was ready to go. Yu Yaoxin said, yes, it's better not to come in.
"Wait, I still have old things, they haven't been put out, and they're even older, they're from the Ming Dynasty. The boss then spoke, "But—"
"What's the matter?" Lin Fengcao asked.
"That's not it, it's all beards and tails, it's just that the price is much more expensive than this Maza. ”
"As long as the stuff is good. Lin Fengcao nodded, "What object, what material?"
"The chair, the red sandalwood, and the carver ······"
Before the boss finished speaking, Yu Yao turned his head and walked out of the store.
Lin Fengcao sighed, "Okay, then don't look at it, you're busy." With that, he walked out.
"Hey, what do you mean?" the boss shouted, but Lin Feng didn't reply.
The two walked out together, and Yang Rui smiled, "For so long, is this a negotiation that has collapsed?"
"The first one is, and the second one doesn't need to be looked at at at all. Lin Fengcao waved his hand, "Let's go." ”
Lin Fengcao walked to the front, and Yang Rui asked Yu Yao behind him, "Don't look at it, what do you mean?"
"The boss said that there is a chair in the Ming Dynasty, red sandalwood!" Yu Yao smiled, "Do you still need to look at this?"
Yang Rui is on woodware, not to mention a layman, but he is really not smart, "There are chairs in the Ming Dynasty, and there are a lot of rosewood furniture, so why don't you take a look at it before leaving?"
"How can there ever be a red sandalwood chair in history!" Yu Yao had no choice but to explain to him.
The word chair is not unfamiliar to most people, and it is the top spot. In fact, the chair is evolved from Maza, which can be sat and folded, which is easy to carry, and has more armrests and backrests than Maza, making it more comfortable to sit.
The reason why the chair has become synonymous with power is because it is easy to move and carry when hunting and traveling; if the emperor is hunting, a bunch of entourage, when resting in the middle, the top chair, it must be the emperor to sit, and other people must also have a priority according to their identity. Gradually, the chair became more meaningful.
Since the chair requires portability and mobility, the material must be as light as possible. Therefore, in history, the heaviest wood that can be used to make a chair is Huanghuali. Nanmu is more abundant, strong and lightweight.
But red sandalwood will definitely not be used, because red sandalwood is too heavy, significantly heavier than huanghuali.
Therefore, there is no ancient chair made of red sandalwood.
The shopkeeper said that the red sandalwood chair of the current generation, that still looks like a fart!
The two were talking in the back, and saw Lin Fengcao stop in front of him and pick up something from the long table in front of a store.
