Drafting contracts, going through procedures, etc., need to be stamped by the government and village committees, but they are not so fast.

Therefore, it can be regarded as giving Zhao Tianming and them enough time, mainly Zhao Tianming and Zhou Yun did it, and Comber helped move the soil on the side.

Digging in the direction of the rat hole, after half an hour, a strip two meters long, half a meter wide, and nearly two meters deep at the deepest point. Because of its proximity to fruit trees, it destroys the root system of many fruit trees.

Anyway, the house had to be sold, and the two fruit trees were no longer remembered. He thought that he would call his grandson and granddaughter over for a while, pick all the fruits, and let Zhao Tianming and them bring some back to taste it, he couldn't eat a lot.

Two fruit trees, because of good service, every year he fertilizes the fruit trees. As a result, the fruit was abundant and the growth was very gratifying.

"Slowly, as if you've dug up, a box. Zhao Tianming said.

Strangely, the well that the man had said before was not found. Zhao Tianming thought to himself: Maybe the man himself made a mistake, although I don't know how he knew these inside stories.

Zhou Yun and Kang Bo both had joy on their faces, which was an unexpected surprise.

Comber never dreamed that the old mansion where he had lived for so many years still had treasures hidden underneath. If it weren't for Zhou Yun to bring Zhao Tianming today and help check if there was anything valuable, maybe I would have missed it.

I have lived for decades, if I miss it like this, and when it is sold, there is news that the old mansion has dug up treasures, and I will really regret it.

"Do you want to help?" Zhou Yun asked.

The people digging down are mainly Zhao Tianming. This guy is also a bit strong, and he is quite a gentleman, after all, the people who dig below are the easiest to get dirty.

Zhao Tianming shook his head: "No, I need to dig a little more to the side, and you can get the mud on it a little bit." Comber, go and close the door, don't get this out of the way. ”

In this case, even if the treasure is dug up and left, it will not affect the transaction of this house.

Comber reacted and immediately went to close the gate of the courtyard. Zhou Yun transferred the mud dug out by Zhao Tianming to the side, so that Zhao Tianming could easily pile up the mud.

After another minute or two, Zhao Tianming finally dug up a small box thirty centimeters long, twenty centimeters wide, and more than ten centimeters high.

It's not so much a small box as a box, and with such a small box, there are only a lot of things that can be contained in it. The box also carries a small ancient lock, made of copper, which has not corroded through the ground after being buried in the ground for a long time.

Zhou Yun was very happy, what treasures were in it, whether it was her share or not, in fact, she didn't care very much. This treasure digging experience made her feel very refreshed.

took the treasure chest dug out by Zhao Tianming and hurriedly took it to the side.

Zhao Tianming climbed down, did not rest, and hurriedly filled the mud that he had dug up. When Comber saw it, he couldn't help nodding slightly, this young man was really careful and reassuring.

After getting it done, Zhao Tianming picked up the water brought by Zhou Yun and took a sip.

"How do you open this lock? Or do you smash the box? Anyway, the box is made of wood, so it should be easy. Zhou Yun said.

Zhao Tianming walked over: "I'll take a look." ”

The wood of the box, he found that it was made of mahogany, shook his head and said, "Don't smash it, this is a wooden box made of red acid branches, which is more valuable than the radio of Comber just now." ”

The material of the red sour branch wood is different, and the color of the heartwood is dark and light, and the wood color is roughly divided into reddish and brownish.

Zhao Tianming told the two of them that the reddish red sour branch heartwood is lemon red, reddish-brown to purple-red-brown, often with obvious black stripes, and the density is heavy, and the main production area is the Indochina Peninsula. The color of the heartwood is also dark and light, the color is light yellowish, and the texture is straight.

The texture of the red sour branch wood that is common on the market is straight, and there are chestnut brown stripes that resemble black sour branch wood, which is called "green tendon" in the industry, just like the green tendon under the human skin - blood vessels.

The high-quality long-term wood color becomes darker, deep jujube red to purple-red, the color is quite similar to sandalwood red sandalwood, and the wood is as delicate as Lu's black sandalwood, which is the top grade of red sour branch wood.

"The red sour branches of this box belong to the brownish system, and the heartwood is newly cut purple-red-brown or dark reddish-brown, often with black-brown or chestnut-brown pinstripes, and is produced in Southeast Asia. The high-quality heartwood is purple-red or dark reddish-brown, and the chord cut surface has a skin pattern similar to that of a yellow croaker belly. Look at this wood grain, it's made of the best red acid branches. This chest, it is a treasure in itself. Zhao Tianming said.

Zhou Yun and the others were a little dizzy when they heard it, but when they heard that it was a treasure, they naturally couldn't open the lock violently.

She also thought that it would be fun to let the man just buy the house at a high price, and finally couldn't dig up anything.

Zhao Tianming touched the surface of the box and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The box was waxed, and the protective box had been buried underneath for so long that it hadn't rotted.

The process of making furniture from old mahogany should also be the same as that of rosewood, that is, the final process should use the method of mixing the base color and then scalding the wax, and the practice of ordinary hardwood must not be used--- lacquer.

Because the old mahogany is full of wax, it can be smooth and lubricated by just rubbing wax, and the luster is durable, giving people a pure and subtle beauty. If modern lacquering techniques are used, it is precisely the fine nature of the wood and the natural beauty of the grain that are obscured.

The red sour branch belongs to the old mahogany, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the old mahogany and the small-leaved red sandalwood, huanghuali and called the "three major tribute wood" dedicated to the court.

Therefore, this box itself is worth a lot of money, not to mention tens of thousands.

He observed the box, and there were exquisite carvings on the surface, which was the most precious, and it had to be artistically processed to be called a work of art.

Then, look at the copper lock. The chemical structure of copper is also relatively stable, and it will be more corrosion-resistant than iron, which is one of the reasons why it is more precious than iron.

This copper lock has a layer of patina on the surface, which is also known as patina.

If you look closely, you will find that this is a more popular lock in the Ming Dynasty, called the three-color lock.

The development of ancient copper locks is different in each dynasty, the ancient locks are representative of the bronze locks of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the three-reed locks of the Han Dynasty, the shrimp tail silver locks of the Tang Dynasty and the square locks of the Song Dynasty, the three-color locks of the Ming Dynasty, and the longevity locks of the Qing Dynasty, all of which are the characteristics of the copper locks of that era.

Ancient locks appreciate the value of higher, and there are fewer imitations on the market, collectors can choose shape, ornamentation, carving are better copper lock collection, can also be used to decorate the old-fashioned furniture at home.

The three-color copper locks of the Ming Dynasty, the white crane locks, combination locks, secret door locks, four-open locks, inverted pull locks, and locks of various figures, animals and text shapes of the Qing Dynasty are all worth collecting.

This lock is also a treasure, and Zhao Tianming is a little worried.

"Just find someone to sawn open this lock and don't break the box. Zhou Yun said.

Zhao Tianming shook his head: "No, the key is that this lock is also a treasure." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yun and Comber were also dumbfounded, how did they feel that this box was full of treasures?
