Chapter 199: The Gambling Tree (10)
"Three thousand each, that is, the two of us bought it together?" Manjun hesitated when he heard this, and said, "You let me see these two trees again......"
To tell the truth, for these two Huanghuali trees that are only twenty or thirty years old, Man Jun is really not very interested, let alone three thousand yuan, even three hundred He was a little reluctant, squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, and Man Jun didn't see that there was an outrageous appearance in these two trees.
The heartwood in the Huanghuali tree is the same as the jadeite rough in Myanmar, before the tree is cut, no one knows whether there is a usable heartwood inside, and the only basis for making a judgment is the age of the tree itself.
Generally speaking, the Huanghuali tree is only more than fifteen years old, the grid will appear inside, the grid that just appears is very thin, there is no way to make zuò furniture or handicrafts, only with the growth of the tree, the grid in the heart of the tree will slowly become thickened.
As the old saying goes, a hundred years of maturity refers to the precious tree species such as Huanghuali, and only after a long time will the preciousness of these trees be highlighted.
Therefore, the twenty or thirty-year-old Huanghuali tree, in the eyes of people who know the pedestrian, is inevitably a bit like a chicken rib that is tasteless and discarded, because there will be heartwood in it, but the utilization rate of this heartwood is extremely low, and if you are lucky, you can also make some beads, and if you are unlucky, you will often end up with no return.
Like the chopsticks grid that Lao Gu opened just now, there is no use value at all, and the split trunk is afraid that it will also become the firewood in the kitchen of Ah Ming's house, and although Zhao Hongtao won a bet, the other one was lost, which shows that the risk of this gambling tree is still very great.
Businessmen seek profits, but they will also avoid risks, three thousand yuan is nothing to the Manchu army, but knowing that it is a pit, the Manchu army is a little reluctant to jump down.
"Brother Man, isn't it just 3,000 yuan, it's a joke......" Seeing that the Manchu army was still grinding there, Fang Yi was a little impatient, dare to love buddies and take you to make a fortune are you still unwilling?
Knowing that one of these two Huanghuali trees contained good heartwood, Fang Yi said that he couldn't let go of anything, and seeing that the Manchu army was still hesitating, Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "If you don't buy it, forget it, these two trees are considered to be bought by myself......
"Don't mind, buy together, buy together......"
I don't know why, Man Jun suddenly thought of the "Yongle Canon" that was ignored by everyone at the auction, and hurriedly said: "Fang Yi, Brother Man believes in you this time, let's buy it together, I will ...... the six thousand yuan first."
As he spoke, Man Jun didn't wait for Fang Yi to refuse, he took out 20,000 yuan from his bag, counted out 2,000, handed it to Ah Ming, and said, "There are also 12,000 from Brother Zhao, I gave them all together, let's count them as two......"
"That's right, the two cleared ......"
Ah Ming nodded after taking the money, it seems that he has made a lot of money in this gambling tree today, but Ah Ming is dripping blood in his heart at the moment, because the tree that Zhao Hongtao won in the bet alone far exceeded all the profits from the sale of six trees.
"Fang Yi, these two trees will be handed over to you......"
After the Man Jun paid the money, he turned his face to look at Fang Yi, when he didn't buy these two trees, the Man Jun was in a mood, now that he bought it, the Man Jun also had some expectations in his heart, maybe there would be top-level heartwood in these two trees, and the six thousand yuan still had hope of returning to the capital.
"Brother Man, you always have to gamble on a tree when you go all the way to this trip, but don't blame ......me for your loss."
Fang Yi smiled, carried the mountain knife and walked in front of a tree, and without help, he set up the tree in the middle of the two chairs with one hand, and the thirty centimeter-thick Huanghuali tree had already been split in two by him.
"How's it going?" Seeing the tree being split, everyone gathered around.
"It's out, but it's too thin, it's a waste......"
"Yes, a twenty or thirty-year-old tree is too big to gamble, and it is not worth three thousand yuan a tree at all......
After seeing the cross-section of the fracture, everyone let out a sigh in unison, this huanghuali tree has a grid inside, but it is so thin that it can't even compare with the chopsticks grid, there is only a shallow line, and I am afraid that even the chopsticks can't be made.
"Brother Man, maybe the grid below will be thicker......" Fang Yi showed a look of immortality, and after letting everyone retreat, he slashed the trunk several times one after another, splitting the five-meter-long Huanghuali tree into four or five sections.
It's just that Fang Yi's idea didn't come true, the grid revealed by the cross-section of each section of the tree was just a thin line, and when he saw that Fang Yi was still a little reluctant to swing his knife and cut it again, Man Jun opened his mouth and said: "Fang Yi, forget about this tree, let's look at another one......
At this time, Man Jun's face was full of wry smiles, he had no intention of betting on these two trees, and he was not very optimistic about the other Huanghuali tree, and he was already prepared to lose the bet.
"Brother Man, this tree will definitely be out of line......" Fang Yi shouted at Man Jun, but in the eyes of others, it looked like he was cheering himself for his lack of information.
"I don't know what the yellow pear in this tree will look like?"
When he raised the mountain opener in his hand, Fang Yi also had some expectations in his heart, he could sense whether the tree contained heartwood, but what kind of heartwood could be produced, Fang Yi couldn't sense it, after all, there was a difference between using divine sense to explore and using eyes to intuitively.
"Twenty or thirty years old, this grid shouldn't be very thick......" Fang Yi thought in his heart as he swung his knife and slashed down, this one was also cut from the middle of the Huanghuali tree.
"Huh, it seems out of line?"
"Yes, I saw it too, hurry up and take a look......"
After a tree was split in half, it naturally rolled off its chair and fell to the ground, and a few sharp-eyed people seemed to see a hint of color different from the trunk itself in the section.
"Out of line, out of line...... Fang Yi was the closest, when he picked up half of the tree trunk to watch, the other half was also turned over, and at a glance, the person suddenly shouted.
In the gambling tree, the meaning of the word out of character is not only the growth of heartwood, but also the meaning of the gambling rise, only the material of the gambling rise, others will shout out the word out of the box.
"Huh? This ...... What kind of pattern is this, why is it so beautiful?" When Fang Yi's eyes looked at the section of the half-cut tree trunk in his hand, he was immediately attracted by the pattern that was only four or five centimeters in diameter.
The lattice that appears on the cross-section is golden yellow, and although it only reveals a small round shape the size of a sake cup, the color and pattern are as colorful and beautiful as the fur of a tiger, and you will be attracted to it at a glance.
"Fang Yi, let me see, what kind of heartwood is produced?" Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun didn't expect that such a tree would actually produce usable heartwood, and they all surrounded Fang Yi at the moment, and Zhao Hongtao even leaned his head over.
"Brother Zhao, it's out of line, but this grid is too fine, I'm afraid I can't do anything except beads......" Fang Yi shook his head with some pity, although this heartwood is very beautiful, but it is only four or five centimeters thick, and the size of making a handle piece is too small, and it can only be made into beads with the lowest value.
"Huh? This ...... Isn't this a tiger skin pattern?" When Zhao Hongtao's eyes saw the heartwood in the middle of the trunk, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, "Fang Yi, you kid is lucky, this is the top tiger skin pattern!"
"Well, the top tiger skin pattern, is there any way to say that?"
After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although Fang Yi had been in contact with a lot of wooden toys during this time, they were all bargains, so he really didn't know much about Huanghuali, which was called the gold in the wood.
"You kid, when you come to Qiong Province to gamble on trees, you don't know much about Huanghuali......
Zhao Hongtao's eyes were firmly fixed on the heartwood, but he said: "Huanghuali is usually divided into eight patterns, namely fox face, grimace, landscape pattern, spider pattern, tiger skin pattern, crab claw pattern, lightning pattern and X-shaped pattern, among which the most precious pattern is the grimace and tiger skin pattern......"
"That'...... Then this tree is considered to have gone up?" Fang Yi asked hesitantly.
"Nonsense, of course the bet has risen, my beads with tiger skin pattern in Huanghuali are already good, but compared to this material, they are much worse......"
Zhao Hongtao nodded, and said a little depressed: "You kid doesn't understand anything, I didn't expect luck to be really good, if the materials in this wood are all this kind of pattern, your kid will be considered rich......"
Although Fang Yi gambled on this material that could not be made into other handicrafts because of its thickness, the tiger skin pattern Huanghuali material was originally suitable for making beads, as long as the Huanghuali material in this trunk was consistent, Fang Yi only grinded out a string of thirty-six handicrafts, the price was difficult to estimate.
Although the price of Huanghuali is not very high this year, it also depends on the quality, just like the seeds of Hetian jade are now only a few dozen yuan a gram, but the top Hetian jade from the hands of the master can still be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of prices.
Huanghuali is the same, the general quality bead bracelet can be bought for hundreds or thousands of yuan, but like the best tiger skin material made of zuò bracelet, as long as you meet a buyer you like, it is not impossible to sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
