Chapter 38: Strange Old Roots
Nanmu, ebony and other woods can only be regarded as average, not top wood, but not much worse, better than the main trunk of the big tree used by Old Man Bao to carve, barely able to make do, carving out the finished product can make some money.
Li Junhao didn't expect to carve anything, his eyes swept over the trunk of the tree, and looked directly at a large area of strangely shaped roots, the root carving process has been there for a long time, and the environment he has been exposed to since childhood also enables him to identify their types through various wood colors, except for those imported from abroad.
Looking over one by one, his eyes stayed on a very strange-looking tree root, there were more than ten forks in total, not too thin, after walking over and looking, he raised his head and asked Boss Song Qian: "How do you sell the roots of this yellow rosewood?"
Song Qian looked at the root, his expression was slightly strange, and he wondered how he could choose this thing, because its appearance was too strange, it was clearly not too thick yellow rosewood, otherwise the root would not be so thin, the diameter of the cut section was only about twenty centimeters, and the roots were mostly about two or three centimeters, which looked a little messy.
Thinking about it, I don't understand what this thing can carve into, the root carving pays attention to "three points of artificial, seven points of nature", the shape and size of all a tree root directly determine its value, and the mouth said: "Brother, the money to buy this thing is enough, only more than 400 yuan a catty, this piece is only 50 or 60 catties, there are a lot of Huanghuali roots over there, do you want to pick a slightly larger piece?"
It's been in my place for many years, and no one wants it, because the roots are too thin to carve, there is a 40,000 yuan over there, and the shape can directly carve an elephant out.
These roots are old goods, once not worth a few dollars, take it back and prepare to grind into beads, I didn't expect that the price has been rising all the way in recent years, not to mention more than 30,000 yuan, even if he sold it for 3,000 yuan, he didn't lose money, and it was the idea of repeat customers to win over business.
Looking in the direction of Song Qian's finger, Li Junhao found that there was a tree root that did look like a baby elephant, which was a seven-minute day, and a little carving and polishing was the finished product, and it didn't take much effort.
Even if it was thirty-five thousand, Li Junhao couldn't take it out, so he smiled and said, "That's it, wait until I carve it and sell it, and then buy the one you said."
On the sale of catties, bother to find a name to help me calculate the price, and do you know where to sell carving knives?"
The expression is even more strange, Song Qian has been in business for so many years, and he thinks he is a well-informed person, but he can't see through Li Junhao who is standing in front of him at the moment.
looked very calm, as if he was very confident, but he chose such a piece of wood, and he didn't even have a guy to eat.
If you are not a wood carver, then it is even stranger to choose such an expensive wood directly, from this dress, it can be seen that the second ancestor, who is not very rich, looks very normal, unlike the kind of fool who likes to use money to play in the water, and can use those worthless wood outside to practice.
Others come to buy things are guests, although they think it's strange, but Song Qian doesn't say much, and says happily: "Okay, I like to do business with people like you, some guys delay me for an hour or two, and even the price is about the same, and in the end they didn't buy it, and they almost didn't make me angry!"
You are refreshed and I am also refreshed, others take Huanghuali tree roots from me, all at this price, I will calculate this for you, little brother, do you say okay?"
He made a gesture of "four, three" and "three, nine" respectively, and understood that this was referring to three hundred and ninety-one catties of wood, Li Junhao was expressionless, and told him: "You can do it." ”
"Hahaha! Brother, I really didn't give you hardship, they are all authentic old tree roots, dug up together with the trees, not the kind of rotten things that are buried in the soil and are about to rot and are dug up.
You try to carve first, show me the things you made, I know all the merchants who collect things, make sure you don't suffer, if the carving is too bad, there is no way, hahaha!"
felt that his last sentence was a little inappropriate, and then added: "I speak a little straight, little brother, don't go to your heart, everyone is carved out with a knife, my wife and their family used to do wood carving, understand how difficult this line is."
Li Liuxian, just listening to this name has a fairy spirit, come on, and when you become famous, you will carve this dragon's blood wood, and I have always wanted to find a carving master, but I can't always meet the right one. ”
Li Junhao showed a smiling face, the Song Qian in front of him is much smarter than Boss Jiang, don't look like he has a big personality, but in fact, he is very sleek and clever, and his speech makes people feel comfortable to listen to, and he doesn't mean to look down on people at all.
As for carving dragon's blood wood, just listen to it as a wind in your ears, it is likely to see everyone say this, Li Junhao was born in a merchant family, and understands that there is absolutely no harm in making more friends, this wood alone is enough to help him make friends with many people, and it is impossible to really take out this wood before meeting a truly ingenious carving master.
Seeing through it without saying it through, continuing to pretend to be a young man, he showed a faint smile and said in his mouth: "Thank you, I understand what you mean."
I didn't dare to carve such a precious wood for the time being, but I had only tried it on tofu, bamboo shoots, and radishes before, and I would talk about it after I had tried it. ”
Song Qian was even more puzzled in his heart, and felt more and more that this "young man" was interesting, and after laughing, he said: "Tools are sold in many stores, everyone likes them differently, I recommend going to the ingenuity to buy, this store has been open for more than 30 years, and you can find everything you want to buy in it."
It shouldn't be closed yet, it just happens that the lumber factory is off work, or I'll send you there, such a big wood is quite heavy, how did you get here?"
"I didn't have a car yet. I don't know where the store is, so Li Junhao didn't refuse, and said again: "Thank you." ”
may be afraid that he will have low self-esteem, and when Song Qian moved to the electronic scale, he also comforted him that he could make money in the future.
was about to move the roots of the tree up, only to see Li Junhao easily grab it, put it on the electronic scale, and after looking at the numbers on it, he took out the money from the backpack behind him and lowered his head to count it.
“…… It's really a lot of strength, so let's work out on a regular basis. Song Qian said with a smile, others are carrying heavy objects, but Li Junhao is like taking a piece of paper, and the difference is easy to see.
Li Junhao is not a character who talks a lot, he basically has a sentence to answer, he replied: "Yes, I will practice occasionally." ”
didn't talk for more than half a sentence, Li Junhao clearly didn't want to chat, Song Qian had already seen it, but he still couldn't help but want to talk to him, and felt that this young man was a little weird, and added:
"To do carving, you must have a steady hand, second, great strength, and third, you must have imagination, your strength is in the right place......"
