Xiao's shop in Yanyu Town.

Chen Yiwen was really about to go crazy along the way, he knew very well that Xiao Zining would never make a loss-making deal, but a bunch of tree lumps and two broken screens didn't look like a good thing.

Every time he couldn't help but ask, Xiao Zining just said a word, concentrated on driving, and went back to the store to talk.

With this sentence, he cleanly blocked Chen Yiwen's mouth.

Finally arrived at the store, and after Chen Yiwen helped carry the things in, he couldn't wait to ask again: "Zining, hurry up and tell me what's going on?"

"Seven thousand yuan to buy such a bunch of, is there a saying in this? I said you won't be deceived by that old thief like me, right?"

"you, do you think everyone is as greedy as you are?"

Xiao Zining grinned, drank a few sips of water and said mysteriously: "Big head, let me tell you, that old guy is out of sight this time." Did you see his expression? I clearly recognized who you were, but I was afraid that you would find fault, so I didn't dare to recognize you. ”

"Nonsense, he dared to admit me to try. Of course, this is also because I believe in you, too lazy to expose their true colors, otherwise I would have slapped them in the face. ”

"But let's get down to business, let's talk about these two screens, what's so important?" Chen Yiwen said with excitement on his face.

"Who told you that only screens are good things?"

The moment Xiao Zining said this, Chen Yiwen jumped up on the spot, looked at these tree lumps on the table in disbelief, and shouted in surprise: "You don't want to tell me that these tree lumps are also treasures, right?"

"Hehe, you're really right, these pimples are treasures. ”

Xiao Zining stretched out his hand and casually picked up a tree lump, and explained with a smile: "Have you heard of it?" Su Shi has a famous saying, called: Stone has halos, wood has galls, rhinos have tong, in order to take beauty from people, all things are sick. ”

He also said that if the West Lake is compared to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup, do you know who Xizi is? ”

Chen Yiwen was confused when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "Zining, can you explain it clearly? Let's not play this kind of hypocrisy, and give the whole thing out." ”

"I told you to read more books, but you just didn't listen, now you know that you're deflated, right?" Xiao Zining raised the corners of his eyebrows speechlessly, and when he explained again, he was very straightforward.

"What I just said is actually very simple, that is, the sickness with defects is also a kind of beauty. And this morbid beauty is talking about these lumps in front of you, which are not ugly things, they have a special term called Shadow Wood. If I'm not mistaken, these pieces are all willow shadow wood. ”

"Shadowwood, what is that?" Chen Yiwen's curiosity was aroused, and he asked with great interest.

All he wanted to know now was whether the old thief had suffered a loss, and he would be happy as long as he could be sure of this.

"Shadow wood is also called gall wood, gall means cystic tumor, simply put, it is a tree nodule that grows due to the stimulation of pests or fungi, and it is a sick product. ”

"But you can't say that this kind of shadow wood is not good, as the saying goes, things are scarce, as long as things are scarce, they are valuable, and they are of high value, just like the bezoar dog treasure. ”

"Of course, shadow wood is rarely seen in large pieces, and it is recorded that it is the famous full rack of grapes mentioned in the "Essentials of Naturalism". The shadow wood is one foot long, two feet seven inches wide, and one inch thick, full of flowers, and the flowers bear small fine grape patterns and stems and leaves, so it is called a full shelf of grapes. ”

"The pieces we came across are already considered to be the big timber in the shadow wood. Xiao Zining explained with a smile.

"And what can this thing do?" Chen Yiwen asked, looking at the wooden bump.

"If you look closely, you will see that the grain of Shadow Wood is different from the rest of the wood, and the grain is very complex, and because of the complexity, the wood lacks toughness. ”

"For this reason, shadow wood is generally used to make small ornaments, or cut into thin skin to make inlays on the surface of furniture, such as desktop hearts, desk hearts, flower hearts, chair vests, chair surface hearts, cabinet door hearts, etc. When Xiao Zining said this, seeing Chen Yiwen's eager expression, he couldn't help waving his hand and said.

"Don't open your mouth, I know what you're trying to ask, you want to ask if Kageki is worth anything, right?"

"Hehe, or you are my brother. Chen Yiwen touched his head and smiled, and then asked urgently: "Is that worth it?"

"It's worth it!

After Xiao Zining put down the tree lump, he patted the dust on his hands and said casually: "I remember watching an auction ten years ago, at that meeting, it was a Qing Dynasty mahogany inlaid gall wood pier, and the final transaction price was about 30,000 yuan. ”

"Ten years ago, you could have been able to auction that price, but ten years later, wouldn't the price be even higher now?" Chen Yiwen shouted excitedly.

"That's from the Qing Dynasty. Xiao Zining poured cold water.

"What about the Qing Dynasty? Even if we are modern, don't we still have your carvers? No matter what, one is at least worth a few thousand yuan, right?"

"Haha, just these few lumps will make that old thief lose money! He deserves it, see if he can deceive people!" Chen Yiwen shouted with excitement on his face.

Well, you win.

I'm talking to you about Shadowwood, but you're thinking about the old thief being unlucky, and your train of thought is not on the same line at all.

"The lump is a shadow tree, so what about this screen? Chen Yiwen picked up a screen as he spoke, and shouted with excitement on his face.

Or it would be addictive to pick up the leaks.

It doesn't matter if you are rich or not, as long as you can pick up the leaks, the joy that the moment brings is very satisfying.

Otherwise, could this money be seen in Chen Yiwen's eyes? But he was so excited and excited, as if he had encountered something very good.

"That fan has no value, and the market price is estimated to be three or five hundred. Xiao Zining said indifferently.

"What, worthless?"

Chen Yiwen was suddenly a little excited, put the screen on the ground boringly, pouted and raised his eyebrows and said: "I thought we could take a big advantage, but I didn't expect that this pile of tree lumps was valuable." ”

"So the screen is purely a trick, trying to blind the old thief. I said Zining, if that's the case, our deal can be regarded as a loss, you might as well let me expose their ugly colors at that time. Even if you can't do it, it's good to have a good time. ”

"I said you can't change your temper? Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my grandfather, right?"

"Can the apprentice trained by his old man do such a non-musical thing?" Xiao Zining squinted lazily, walked straight over and lifted the second screen.

He blew it gently, and countless dust floated out of the screen, which happened to fall on Chen Yiwen's side downwind, making him cough.

In the midst of coughing, Chen Yiwen asked urgently, "Didn't you just say that the screen is worth three or five hundred?"

"I'm talking about that one, not this one. Just this screen, let alone twenty or thirty thousand, even if it is one hundred thousand, I won't sell it!" Xiao Zining stared at this screen with burning eyes, glanced at the carved patterns, and his eyes fell on the words on it.

"This is a clear "Ring Luxury Screen"!"
