After the old man left, Li Junhao calculated the money on his body, because he bought a mobile phone, he still had to leave some spare, and only about 26,000 could be used when he was full.

After chatting with Zhu Hejun before, he understood that the price of good wood is not cheap now, and with the little money on him, it is estimated that he can only afford to buy nanmu, and he can't afford to buy a little more.

A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, it is said that it is the current Li Junhao, who passed by the bank before, and saw that he was counting the accounts after work there, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, if it wasn't for the constraints of right and wrong, he almost wanted to rob it, and in the blink of an eye, a few large boxes of money could be easily obtained.

Standing in place and watching the workers cut the wood, Li Junhao can only sigh that the people of this era are too smart, everything can be done by machines, although convenient, but it lacks the traditional beauty of ancient times.

In the old days, whoever wanted to find a carpenter, they all asked the tooth broker to help shout, they had many doors, the craftsmanship was good was a price, and the craftsmanship was a little worse was another price, no one dared to ask for money, and no one was lazy and slippery, otherwise the reputation was over, and no one would be willing to invite them again in the future.

Tooth people will not, that is smashing their own signboard, they know better than anyone how important credibility is, if you invite a bad craftsman, you will first run to the employer to ask for forgiveness, if you can't guarantee that the employer is satisfied, a few more gossips, but also to smear the face of the tooth man.

Therefore, whoever hires a craftsman, then does not need to worry much about it, and generally tries to do their best, how cheap the materials are to buy, and get paid after the end of hard work, and will say thank you to the employer, and each job represents their good reputation.

From going to Liushui Town, to reading modern books, combined with what he saw and heard in Yangdong, Li Junhao always felt that there was something missing in this era, although the material aspect was far richer than a few centuries ago, but the spiritual aspect was indeed a little less humane, and he could really experience this.

In the words of the scholar Svendian, it is probably this: the etiquette collapses.

Many sage words and folk sayings have been soaked and tasted in the long river of time.

It can't be said that all the things in ancient times should be used now, such as bandits killing people and saying that they are good men in the green forest, such as the cheap nationality of the poor, etc., it is better to abandon them now, but he feels that some good things should at least be retained.

Li Junhao was a little uncomfortable when he got along with modern people, but now that he thinks about it, it may be because he has lost that human touch, and he is very indifferent everywhere, which makes him feel strange......

Regarding the "collapse of etiquette", after reading the history books that filled the three shelves, Li Junhao began to have a different opinion, as if every dynasty was saying this, but the society as a whole is still improving, but it's just a pity that people are indifferent.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the king ignored the national politics and favored the beauty, and the people felt that it was better for the three generations of antiquity, at least not messing around, and the etiquette was broken.

In the Warring States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes fought endlessly, and Confucius felt that it was better to be in the period of the auxiliary government of the Zhou Dynasty, at least not to kill indiscriminately, and the etiquette collapsed.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu marched north for many years, and the universe was boiling, and everyone felt that the founding period was good, and the rule of Huang Lao was at least not indiscriminately taxed, and the etiquette collapsed.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives and the chaos of the princes made everyone feel that they had lost the spirit of loyalty of the Western Han Dynasty, and they dared to kill the king, and the etiquette collapsed.

During the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the flame of civilization retreated to the south, the barbarians started to kill, and the Han people did not want to make progress and worship the Buddha all day long, losing the most precious martial spirit of China, and the etiquette collapsed.

In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the great eunuchs abolished the emperor at will, and the festival envoys became emperors at will.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Han court, and everyone cried and shouted, "There is no Huaxia after Yashan......

For the next history, he has not experienced it so it is not clear, through the records of historical books and classics, it can be seen that the Han people experienced a short period of prosperity and fell into perennial darkness, until now after the establishment of the government, it began to get on the right track.

The words "freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness" are pasted everywhere, and he has seen them countless times along the way, which shows that this era is reshaping the concept of etiquette and music, which is enough to satisfy Li Junhao.

Soon after, a sturdy man with a shaved head and a figure like a butcher walked up, he looked Li Junhao up and down, his tone was a little uncertain, and asked, "Are you going to buy half a square of wood?"

It's no wonder that the middle-aged man asked, looking at Li Junhao's appearance really doesn't look like a rich man, just now the old man told him that there was a wood carver, and in his impression those craftsmen who can carve with good wood are generally the kind that are old and do not lack food and clothing.

Li Junhao smiled, his eyes reluctantly removed from the dragon's blood, what he planned to carve, this wood is the most suitable, but unfortunately he can't afford it, even if it's just an arm-thick branch, he can't afford it, since ancient times, dragon's blood wood has been priceless, and the golden silk nanmu belongs to the royal exclusive precious wood.

opened his mouth to introduce himself and said: "My name is Li Liuxian, I'm tired of you, I have more than 20,000 yuan on me, what kind of wood can I get?"

Also, take the liberty of asking how much is this 10,000-year-old dragon's blood wood worth?"

"Dragon's blood?" The middle-aged man took out the key and opened the door, during which he said happily: "Many people want to buy, but I don't plan to sell, three meters of good wood, it is more than enough to build a set of tables and chairs, now there are very few such logs, and the value is appreciating every year, someone sold nine million the year before last, and someone sold twelve million this year, and it is rare and expensive, why should I sell it."

Because of this piece of wood, it has helped me attract a lot of business, and when others are ready to buy wood, they will think of me Song Qian, and there is no need to advertise, the advertisement has already been played. ”

The astronomical amount that needs to be looked upon, even if he has been prepared for a long time, Li Junhao still feels depressed in his heart, nodded and said: "That's the truth, if it's me, I won't sell it." ”

Song Qian looked back, and then asked, "You are so young, help the master buy wood?"

I basically know all the wood carving masters in Yangdong, who did you learn from?"

"No, no, no, I bought it myself, I haven't done it for a long time, and I want to do something. ”

Hearing Li Junhao's words, Song Qian's expression was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he just gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, look at it, I'm eighteen or nineteen years old, I'm still in college at your age."

It's really okay if you don't have it, ordinary people are reluctant to buy such good wood, what have you carved before?

20,000 is not much, less is not much, this price can buy nanmu, ebony, sandalwood and the like, what kind of specific do you want, carved out of different wood texture is different, and the shape is not the same.

Look at these roots, they are also suitable for carving, and the price is cheaper than wood, so choose ...... for yourself."
