Chapter 55: Gambling

hung up the phone, and Qi Zhiqiang arrived an hour later.

"Your piece of ratthorn root is too heavy, isn't it? How did you transport it from the village to the storehouse?"

When loading the car, Qi Zhiqiang just took a handle, and he almost didn't flash his waist. Hei Dahan didn't know that Feng Tiance was so powerful before.

"Why? Naturally, I hired a car...... Nonsense, hurry up and open the road, three hundred miles of land, and if you don't leave, you will reach noon. ”

Qi Zhiqiang laughed, and admired Feng Tiance's seriousness in doing things. Don't look at yourself in a busy day, at least a third of the time is busy with socializing and entertainment.

............

This side of the market road is not far from the entrance of the highway from Yizhou to the provincial capital, and the car will get on the highway after more than 20 minutes.

"It's still comfortable to drive on the highway, and there are traffic jams everywhere in the city, and people are getting angry...... I said Tiance, you should also go and get a driver's license, go back and buy a car, and it is more convenient to come out and do things by yourself. And if we go out together, we can change it, and no one is tired. ”

The highway from Yizhou to the provincial capital has been newly repaired for a few years, and the traffic flow is not very large at this time. Qi Zhiqiang felt that he had to take such a road when driving, otherwise he would brake and throttle for a while, which would be quite disturbing.

"Hah, I have a driver's license..... When I was in college, I gritted my teeth and got a driver's license during the holidays, mainly for a good job after graduation. Later, I worked in that garden company, and the company's engineering truck, well, was also a pickup truck, and I basically drove it. ”

Feng Tiance remembered that when he went to school, it was really not easy, and it was easy to learn a driver's license to save money and use it well.

"Damn, little madman, are you kidding me? I don't have a driver's license! Wait, go to the next service area and go in, and I'll drive you instead." ”

Qi Zhiqiang shouted with an exaggerated expression, in fact, it is only three hundred miles, and there is no need to change the driver at all, he is just bored grinding his teeth on the road.

"Kuroko, who can't shout a nickname, I'll shout too. Besides, you didn't ask me if I had a driver's license, so you blame me? I can't drive today, and I don't have my driver's license at home. ”

Feng Tiance and Qi Zhiqiang fought a few words and chatted a few days, and rushed to the timber market in the provincial capital in two hours.

"Feng Tiance, this is the timber market, it's big, isn't it? It is also subdivided into log area, board area, cultural play wood area, and so on...... After a while, we will go directly to the cultural play wood area. If you want to sell the two materials you carry, one way is for me to find a familiar boss to collect them, and you just happen to understand the market. Another way is to rent a temporary site or temporary warehouse, and you can sell it yourself. ”

According to Qi Zhiqiang's meaning, it is better to collect it directly from a certain boss, anyway, you can understand the market situation and save trouble.

"Well, let's rent a temporary warehouse, I'll stay here for a few more days and won't return with you. ”

There are still a few days to reach the time agreed with Jiang Zhe and them, and the location is in the provincial capital, so Feng Tiance might as well know more about the market in the timber market.

Qi Zhiqiang nodded, and drove directly into the timber market.

There are a lot of fixed stalls in it, and most of them are bosses who have been in this industry for many years. There are also temporary places on vacant land where goods can be stacked and traded, which is generally suitable for merchants who come from other places with large quantities of goods to buy and sell at one time. Temporary warehouses are also called temporary stalls, which are in between, and are rented on a monthly basis, that is, you have to pay a minimum of one month's rent, and you can use it for one day.

There are still some vacant temporary stalls, but the locations are in relatively remote places, Feng Tiance followed Qi Zhiqiang and quickly completed the procedures and paid the money. The market manager led the two to a stall in the northwest corner.

"Here, two, the key is for you. If there is anything you can go to the management office, I wish you two a prosperous business and good luck......"

Those who came here must be in the timber business, either buying or selling goods, and the administrator sent a word of blessing and left with a smile.

"Then unload the cargo. ”

Feng Tiance was very satisfied, and directly threw the rat lipop root and Liudaomu in the car in the warehouse. This stall is all north-south, and the north and south are transparent. The front door is the front face, which can put some samples or something, and the back door can be unloaded, which is convenient for the goods to enter and exit.

"Feng Tiance, you are slowly selling here, I'll go and see the goods that need to be purchased first. ”

Qi Zhiqiang felt that it was unnecessary for Feng Tiance to rent a temporary stall, his position was so partial, and he was a newcomer, and the two materials might not be able to be sold in a month.

"I'm not in a hurry with this little thing, so I'll go around with you first. ”

Feng Tiance was really not in a hurry, so he locked the door and followed Qi Zhiqiang to buy the goods.

Qi Zhiqiang drove the car to the parking lot and parked it first, and then walked around the cultural play timber area with Feng Tiance. Don't say it, there are really a lot of people in the market, which shows that the cultural toy market has been hot in recent years.

There is no clear definition of such a thing, and its origin can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, the literati and artists liked to put some small objects in the study, which they could hold in their hands and play with in their spare time.

Later, objects that have a certain value and can be played with in the palm of the hand are collectively referred to as "cultural play". This has a certain value, one refers to the value of the item itself, and the other refers to the cultural and artistic and historical heritage of the item.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, cultural play was carried forward and almost became the standard for the children of the Eight Banners. At that time, there was a saying that the three treasures of the literary play: wrench, teapot, and caged bird, and it was also said that it was wrench, walnut, and caged bird, which probably meant the same thing.

Feng Tiance had recently made up some knowledge in this area, so he thought about coming to see the trade of cultural timber.

"Qi Zhiqiang, why are there so many people around over there?

Qi Zhiqiang is not in a hurry to buy goods, and his business is basically based on low-end goods. But since Feng Tiance wanted to see it, he took it to see the high-end raw materials first......

"Huh, that's a shop specializing in sea yellow pears, right? Let's go, go over and take a look, maybe it's gambling." ”

Recently, the price of walnuts has dropped significantly, and Qi Zhiqiang has set the main direction on the bracelet. But he is still mainly in the middle and low end, but he is not too unfamiliar with those stores that make high-end goods in the market.

"Gambling material? Interesting, go over and take a look. ”

Feng Tiance knows that some wood has a tradition of "gambling materials", such as seayellow rosewood. This kind of wood is also useful for the core material part. The core material is soaked by the oil of the tree for a long time, and the texture is tight, the pattern is charming, and it has a faint flavor. The wood around the core material is loose and easily rotten, and does not have any value.

The core is wrapped in the center of a thick white wood rim, and it is impossible to know what is going on inside from the outside of the wood alone.

According to the rules of the trade, merchants are directly trading the whole wood, as for the buyer after buying, how many useful core materials are inside the wood, then it depends on luck, and can not be reversed afterwards.
