Chapter 21 The Smelling Agarwood
Lu Mingxun looked for prestige and saw a girl about twenty years old, with a small ponytail and delicate facial features, looking at him with impatient eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, Xiao Ran, why is your temper so bad" Before Lu Ming could speak, an old man hurriedly chased him out, and when he was talking about the girl, he still didn't forget to rub the five-penny-sized gourd hand twist in his hand.
Xiao Ran glanced at the old man dissatisfied, turned his head, and turned back to the house.
"This little girl has a big temper," Lu Ming muttered as he watched the girl's back as she entered the room.
The old man pouted helplessly, "This is my granddaughter, I just graduated from the martial arts school, this one is holding back at home, and my temper is getting bigger and bigger, just because I refused her request to go out to be a bodyguard, no, it's overturned again, hey!" Between the words, there was a lot of helplessness.
However, after complaining, the old man's eyes immediately focused on the two logs he had moved, and after a short look, he leaned forward and shook them a few times with his hands.
"Old man, how about these two pieces of wood?" Lu Ming saw that the old man's expression was a little serious, and he felt that it might not be a good thing.
"It's okay at hand, it's not Kang material, the density is said to be in the past, it's just that this small piece is a new material, and there is too much moisture, even if it is made into an ornament, I'm afraid it can't be cracked" said this, the old man sighed subconsciously.
"Cracked? Isn't that a taboo defect in jadeite jade, why does this wood also have this saying? ”
The old man glanced at Lu Ming, who had an innocent expression, and shook his head with a smile: "You kid, you are still tender, for example, the value of a wooden ornament is two thousand, if there is a crack, the price will be dropped, and if you meet someone who knows how to do it, you will make a fuss about it, and it will drop more. ”
"Okay, let's move the materials to the house first"
As he spoke, the old man pushed open the glass door behind him, although it was early winter, but after some exercise just now, Lu Ming's head had begun to sweat, and after a short rest, he dragged two pieces of wood into the house.
After entering the store, Lu Ming vaguely smelled a fragrance like medicinal herbs, although the fragrance was very light, he felt very comfortable.
Outside the counter of the small shop, there are several half-person-high wooden carvings on display, and the shape is a character theme, a landscape theme, a melon and fruit theme, and behind the counter, there is a huge multi-treasure grid, each grid is placed with different small objects, Lu Ming took a closer look and found that among them, he only knew one or two jade and jade pendants, and the rest, he didn't know any of them.
As he paced in front of the counter, he was instantly attracted by the dazzling array of items in the glass counter.
The bracelets of various colors are extremely dazzling under the reflection of strong light.
A pair of tiger head walnuts that have been turned red are like carved out of red agate, transparent and bright.
The belt buckle carved with the animal face, the bamboo green standard pen holder, and the brand of various materials are really everything.
"Old man, you're really good, what do you want" Although Lu Ming was talking to the old man at this time, his gaze never left the counter.
"What am I, it's all mass-level cultural toys, and sometimes one piece of cultural toys in everyone's hands is enough to replace my storefront," said the old man with a self-deprecating smile.
When Lu Ming approached the counter, the faint fragrance became more and more aggravated, and after sniffing a few times, he looked up and found that in the corner of the counter, there was a simple incense burner, which was constantly emitting a faint white smoke.
"Old man, what kind of incense is lit in this incense burner, the taste is very special."
This time, before the old gentleman could reply, the little girl sitting at the counter with a ponytail spoke first, "You are really a 'mallet', why don't you understand anything, this is the agarwood ordered by the old man of the loser, this small piece is hundreds."
After saying this, the little girl raised her head, looked at the old man who was standing with a gourd twisting her hands, and said angrily, "You said that you always spend money to make this thing, if I don't go out to make money, see where you have money to play this in the future"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I'm just playing this, don't you also give your father a college professor, you've lived for twenty years, I'll use a penny of you, hum, I want to be a bodyguard for others, but there's no door, you just stay steadfastly, no money, I'll give it to you, no object, I'll find someone to introduce you!"
"You! Old stubborn! With that, the girl sat back in a huff and ignored them.
Looking at the opposite state of the two masters, Lu Ming didn't dare to say anything, but continued to observe these beautiful literary toys on the counter.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, I have a little brother here, I got two pieces of wood, and you will come over on a tricycle in a while, and help me pull it to you."
"Yes, in your cooking, if it's good, of course you'll be given priority, well, okay, come here"
Just when Lu Ming was inspecting the counter, the old man had already helped him contact a rental house that specialized in opening materials.
"Little brother, I just contacted a friend, he is coming over, let's take the material to him, open it, and see if it goes up or down" As he spoke, the old man walked to the wood again and looked at it.
In a simple shed full of wood, middle-aged people surnamed Lu and Liu moved two pieces of wood to the chainsaw, and after putting the wood down, the sawdust on the store instantly flew up.
"Poof! I said, how strict the safety supervision is now, you kid doesn't know how to clean up the sawdust dust, maybe one day, you are also trapped in the mountain and that workshop, there is a dust explosion" The old man was a leader, standing behind the two of them, and kept giving orders.
The middle-aged man surnamed Liu smiled innocently, "Yang Ju, you have retired from your security position, why are you still so bureaucratic, besides, what I do is a wood business, how can there be no sawdust, besides, the dust explosion must reach a certain density, right?" ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at him seriously and said, "You kid still dare to talk back?" Let the safety supervisor check your letter now? ”
"Oh, Uncle Yang, I believe it, you are my uncle, don't run on me, you see how easy it is for us to start a small business."
"Hmph, by the way, your fire extinguisher is old enough, hurry up and replace it"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Yang, I'll go in the afternoon"
The man surnamed Liu generally dealt with Lao Yang, and while pressing the switch of the chainsaw, the roar of the chainsaw turning rapidly was instantly heard in the originally quiet factory.
After everything was arranged, the man surnamed Liu turned his head to look at Lu Ming and asked
"Little brother, which one to open first?"
