Chapter 200: A face is worth ten thousand dollars

"It's really earned......"

Man Jun, who almost had his eyes on the section of the Huanghuali tree, also raised his head, his face was full of excitement, and said: "Fang Yi, this material can make beads for the eyes, and if the texture inside is regular, at least it is a 3.0 large bead......"

As we all know, such as Huanghuali such a precious wood, large boards are used to make furniture, small ones can also be made of ornaments or handles, only to make furniture scraps and size of the material is not enough, will be used to make beads. ←,

Therefore, the general Huanghuali bracelet, many beads may not be on a material, different work and the same material, which makes the value of the beads themselves a lot lower, and then there is a larger diameter of the beads, the more expensive the material, the higher the value, just like the 1.8 beads can only be sold for a few hundred yuan, and the 2.0 beads will cost at least thousands of dollars.

As for the 3.0 or more Huanghuali beads, it is rare on the market, especially the 3.0 tiger skin pattern best material, which can be called rare, and according to the judgment of the Manchu army, this material should be able to make the right eyeballs, and the grade can be further improved.

As for the eyes mentioned by the Manchu army, it means that on the beads of Huanghuali, a pair of eye-like lines appear, and they must be symmetrical from side to side.

However, due to the natural growth of wild yellow pear trees generally growing under harsh conditions, deep mountains and remote soils, alternating water and drought, wind and rain breaking, so most of the branches are sinuous and twisted, and there are few straight dry materials and branches with regular shapes, and it is difficult to make a whole bunch of regular patterns and uniform eyeballs if the heart of the tree is not straight.

In addition, the wild yellow pear tree has "ten trees and nine emptiness", most of the sea yellow tree heart has a heart split or simply hollow, in this case, it is more difficult to find the right raw materials for the eyeballs, even if it is made of the sea yellow eye bracelet, the center of the tree eye or between the eyes of the heart crack is also a very common phenomenon.

Therefore, a string of pairs of eyes, neatly aligned, no cracks and no supplements of Huanghuali is very rare for the eyeballs. The Manchu army also did a period of Huanghuali business a few years ago, but he has never seen a perfect string of eye-to-eye Huanghuali beads.

However, the material in front of him was planted by Amin from the mountain, and the trunk is straight and straight, and there is a great possibility that it will produce straight material. So after looking at the section, Man Jun also became excited, if he could really make such a string of beads, he could use it as a treasure in his small shop.

"I'll peel off the bark on the outside first......" Seeing the excitement of the Manjun, Fang Yi knew that he had picked up the treasure again this time. There was no nonsense at the moment, and after beckoning everyone to get out of the way, he waved the mountain knife to decompose the Huanghuali tree.

"Yes, it's good material, but these nodules will have an impact on the beads, and they can't be considered really superb...... Fang Yi cut the four- or five-meter-long Huanghuali material into six or seven sections, except for a few sections that were held in the arms of the Manchu army, the rest were held in the hands of Zhao Hongtao and Lao Gu to check.

"Boss Gu, didn't you say that the beads with tumors are grimaces? Aren't the grimace lines also very good?, why does Boss Gu say that having a tree nodule is not considered the best?" Fang Yi, who had just learned some Huanghuali knowledge from Zhao Hongtao's mouth. Somewhat puzzled, he said to the old advisor.

"Grimaces are indeed superb, but who told you that the nodules are grimaces?" Old Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after glancing at Zhao Hongtao, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Boss Zhao, why don't you explain it to Brother Fang?"

Lao Gu smiled and led the topic to Zhao Hongtao, because the outside world usually thinks that Huanghuali's tree nodules are grimaces, and people who don't have real talent and learning really can't answer this question.

The reason why Lao Gu wants to pay attention to Zhao Hongtao is because whether it is the other party Yi or Zhao Hongtao, who also won the bet on the tree today. Lao Gu was a little unconvinced in his heart, he asked himself if he talked about his understanding of Huanghuali, the two people in front of him were not as good as himself, and it was just luck that they could win the bet.

"Boss Gu is testing me?"

After hearing Lao Gu's words. Zhao Hongtao shook his head with a smile and said, "Then I'll talk about it, Fang Yi, grimaces and tree tumors are actually two different things, people who are new to Huanghuali outside think that grimaces are tree tumors, but they are actually wrong......"

Zhao Hongtao is not just an academic player. He has been studying wood for nearly 20 years, and he has used or collected all the precious wood in China, and he loves Huanghuali, so whether it is in theory or practice, Zhao Hongtao can be called an expert.

People who play Huanghuali know the phrase "face Wanjin", the so-called "face", refers to the grimace, it has almost become the signature or synonym of Huanghuali, the Ming Dynasty "Gegu Yao" recorded: "Huali ...... Its flowers are cute with ghost faces. ”

Therefore, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, the "grimace" of Huanghuali is like a huge "magnet", which has attracted countless lovers of Huanghuali for hundreds of years.

However, many people think that the nodules and branches of the Huanghuali tree are grimaces, but in fact, this perception is wrong, and the nodules and branches form not grimaces, but a defect in the Huanghuali wood.

It's like a grimace formed by a tree nodule, which is actually the effect of the heartwood after the tree tumor's peeling, although it will also produce a variety of beautiful patterns, but the tree tumor itself is a scar defect, and the formed grimace will also have scars, which is not very perfect.

The real grimace is a round spot formed by mutation in the heartwood that is about to be completed during the growth process of the Huanghuali tree, and the diameter of the real grimace is generally not more than 25p pixels, and only such spots are formed by the real grimace.

However, it is difficult to see whether there is a grimace on the Huanghuali material that has not been polished, so Lao Gu pointed to the places with tree nodules and spoke, which is actually a kind of psychology of saying that grapes are sour when he can't eat grapes.

"Boss Zhao is really knowledgeable, but it's a pity that this material, if there is a real grimace, the value will be doubled......"

Hearing Zhao Hongtao's explanation, Lao Gu was also stunned for a moment, he didn't know the true meaning of the grimace, he only understood it by meeting a big collector by chance, but he didn't expect that Boss Zhao, who was a bit like an official, in front of him, also knew.

"Hehe, if it's not the best, it's not the best......"

Fang Yi smiled, reached out and took his own material from Lao Gu's hand, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's just for six thousand yuan to gamble, as long as these materials are worth more than six thousand......

Although others can't see the lines on the Huanghuali that has not yet been polished and smooth, Fang Yi's eyesight can see that after Zhao Hongtao explained the real grimace, Fang Yi recognized that there was that kind of grimace on these materials.

However, Fang Yi knew that if he said the grimace at this time, he would really be hated by others, so he simply responded to Lao Gu's words, anyway, the one who made a fortune in the end was himself.

"Why not six thousand, it may be more than ...... to add a zero in the back" Hearing Fang Yi's words, Lao Gu became more and more depressed, now he and Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi had three waves of people gambling on the tree, and in the end, only he lost the bet, and Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi both gained a lot of money.

"Okay, today's gambling tree is over, right?" Lao Gu said: "Let's go, go down the mountain to eat, I'll make a phone call and ask someone to send the wine directly to the restaurant, and I'm going to have a good drink with Boss Zhao today......"

Although gambling on the tree is not good today, Lao Gu still has some admiration for the knowledgeable Zhao Hongtao, and seeing Zhao Hongtao's style, Lao Gu can also see that he is an official person, and it is always no harm to make friends with him.

"Okay, let's get drunk with Boss Gu today......"

Zhao Hongtao won a tree in a bet today, and he could earn seventy or eighty thousand yuan at least, and his mood was naturally excellent, but he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Ah Bao, and said: "Ah Bao, didn't you say that there is a natural karst cave in the stone mountain here?

When Zhao Hongtao went to school, there was no major in the museum department in China, so he graduated from the history department, and in the history department, Zhao Hongtao took a geology major.

So out of professional habits, as early as when Ah Bao said that there was a natural karst cave in Shishan, Zhao Hongtao was interested, and after gambling on the tree, he did not forget to go to the karst cave to see, and wanted to verify what geographical changes caused it.

"Boss Zhao, are you talking about the cave in the back mountain?" Before Ah Bao could answer Zhao Hongtao's words, Lao Gu preemptively said: "What is there to see about that place that is dark and gloomy, I bet that you will turn back if you don't walk fifty meters......"

"Fifty meters, how deep is that hole?"

Zhao Hongtao was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't seen a fifty-meter-deep karst cave, but most of them had already been developed into a tourist attraction by pulling wires and installing projection lights in the cave, and it had long been called a natural karst cave, but he didn't expect that there was such a place in this deep mountain.

"Why not more than fifty meters? I don't think it's more than five hundred meters, even if they are Miao people, they haven't even been to the bottom of the cave, right?" Lao Gu pursed his lips and said: "Boss Zhao, if you are interested, go and take a look, let's go down the mountain to the hotel and wait for you, I guess you won't be interested in it, and you won't see anything in the dark winter......

"Okay, then Boss Gu, you go first, I'll go over when it's fresh......" Hearing Lao Gu say this, Zhao Hongtao was more interested, the natural karst caves that have not been developed are much more valuable than those tourist attractions that have been developed.
