Chapter 44: Lightning strikes the wood

Zhou Wen dared to say this not because of his conceit, but because of his self-confidence accumulated by experience.

Zhou Wen is not very old, but he has lived in a wood factory since he was a child, and his ancestors have been dealing in wooden magic utensils.

After Zhou Wen came into contact with Wang Lei, he could feel that Wang Lei was not familiar with wood through Wang Lei's opinions, looks, and actions on wood, so he came to this conclusion.

In fact, Zhou Wen's judgment was good, Wang Lei really didn't know much about wood, and it was the first time he had seen so much wood, and he didn't know what kind of wood it was, so he was a complete layman.

Of course, Wang Lei doesn't understand wood, but Xuanyun Daoist has studied a little, at this time, the two of them are secretly communicating, while looking for suitable wood, Wang Lei also asks Xuanyun Daoist for advice from time to time, and time passes unconsciously.

Wang Lei picked up a piece of wood, put it in his hand and played with it seriously, the expression on his face was quite rich, and then put down this piece of wood and picked up other woods to study.

"Mr. Zhou, when I used to watch TV, I also watched some collectible programs, and often said that some precious woods such as rosewood, huanghuali, and golden silk nan, do you also have them in the warehouse?" Wang Ting's big eyes scanned the surrounding wood and asked.

"Miss Wang, you really asked about this, what we are doing here is a wooden magic weapon, which is different from the collection of wood; The collection of wood is rare and expensive, and we look at the aura of wood, and the way of use and judgment standards are different. Zhou Wen did not answer positively, and cleverly diverted the topic.

"Then how do you tell which wood has a stronger aura?" Since seeing the Three Emperors' Money, Wang Ting has also become interested in magic weapons, and she also knows some knowledge of magic weapons.

"Mainly by virtue of experience and feeling, the more you go into the wood industry, the more you feel that this line of work is broad and profound, and it is also fun to study, let me say popular actors, singers, stars, I may not be able to name a few people, if it is changed to the topic of wood, I can talk to you for three days and three nights." When it comes to his professional field, Zhou Wen has become confident.

Wang Ting pursed her lips, listening to it a little boring, and said secretly: "I said a lot of crackling, but I didn't have a useful word, and I chattered." ”

Wang Ting put her eyes on Wang Lei's body again, walked over with paces, and watched Wang Lei holding a piece of wood, observing and playing with it carefully, and couldn't help but lean over to watch the excitement, and said softly: "Eh, this lump of wood doesn't look special, do you need to look at it for so long?" ”

Wang Lei was studying and was engrossed, but he didn't find Wang Ting beside him, and suddenly heard someone talking next to him, and couldn't help but be startled, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You stand aside, don't make trouble next to you." ”

"Where do I make trouble, I just want to ask you, have you chosen the wood, you have been watching it for half an hour, and it will be dark after grinding." Wang Ting looked at the sky outside and said with some concern.

"Wait a little longer, it cost thousands of dollars, you have to pick the right one." Wang Lei waved his hand and signaled the other party not to disturb him.

Wang Ting is a woman after all, and she is not very familiar with Wang Lei, and this is a remote suburb, so there will always be some uneasy feelings, but she wants to come with her, and it is not good to leave Wang Lei to go back first, so she can only continue to wait helplessly.

After a long while, Wang Lei stood up, with a satisfied look on his face, holding a piece of wood in his hand, stretching his waist, and said: "After squawing for a long time, I'm almost exhausted, and I finally found a suitable one." ”

"Found the right wood? Let me see. Wang Ting came to the spirit, revealed a happy tone, and rushed over first.

This piece of wood is dark brown, the diameter is about 30 centimeters, the height is more than 10 centimeters, the surface is not very regular, there are traces of cutting and polishing, it looks like an old material, the annual rings on the trunk are very special, piled up in a circle, giving people a very strange feeling.

Wang Ting came to the front, stared at the wood with big eyes for a while, showed a suspicious look on her pretty face, and said: "Wang Lei, this piece of wood looks very ordinary, and it seems to have been put away for a long time, so you choose it?" ”

"Not bad."

"What kind of tree is this? Can it be worth 3,000 dollars? Wang Ting stretched out her right hand, patted the wood, and asked.

"It's wood from a poplar tree." Wang Lei said.

"Poplar? Is it the kind of poplar tree that is planted on the street? Wang Ting doesn't know many trees, but some common trees are still known, and poplars are used as greening trees on both sides of many streets in Beijing.

"Yes, poplars grow fast, are hardy to cold and light, and have strong adaptability, so they will be used as greening trees in many places." Wang Lei said.

"If you spend 3,000 yuan, you can buy a piece of poplar material that can be found everywhere, won't you lose money?" Although Wang Ting is not a wood expert, she also knows that this kind of tree that can be seen everywhere is not valuable, otherwise it would have been stolen a long time ago, and a whole tree would not be sold for a thousand yuan, not to mention one of them, if it is polished into a board to sell, it is estimated to be worth dozens of yuan.

"You don't understand, this poplar material is very special, different from ordinary poplars." Wang Lei said seriously.

Hearing Wang Lei's words, Wang Ting knocked on the wood with her hand again, still feeling very ordinary, first shook her head, then nodded, and said, "You're right, I really don't understand." ”

Wang Ting's words were a pun, that is, she couldn't understand the wood, but also that she couldn't understand Wang Lei, such an ordinary poplar material, she was too expensive to spend 300 yuan, but Wang Lei was willing to spend 3,000 yuan to buy it, and he looked like he had picked up a baby, stupid!

Wang Ting somewhat believed Zhou Wen's words, Wang Lei may be a good feng shui master, but he may not choose the wood of the tool, this is like a person who can fly an airplane, and it is a truth that he may not be able to build an airplane.

Zhou Wen, who was in the distance, also saw the movement here, and asked, "Mr. Wang, have you chosen the wood for making zuò magic tools?" ”

"I've chosen, I'm going to show you." Wang Lei said.

"You put the selected wood on the table on the right, and I'll mark the wood and study the shape of the wood." Zhou Wen's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried at all, Wang Lei would choose expensive wood, pointed to the table on the side, and ordered.

"Hmm." Wang Lei responded and put the wood he had selected on the wooden table.

Zhou Wen took a pencil and walked over with slow steps, looking at the wood on the table, like a powerful elementary school teacher who wanted to correct students' homework.

Zhou Wen's calm attitude didn't last long, after he saw the piece of wood, he was only slightly stunned at first, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then stared at the wood for a while, and then made sure that he was not mistaken, the expression on his face changed greatly.

"How is this possible, he actually chose this piece of material, this is the lightning strike wood that my father finally recovered, at least it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan." Zhou Wen's eyes widened, although he didn't say anything, his heart was already full of thoughts, and he didn't even know that the pencil in his hand had fallen, as if he had been immobilized.

Ordinary poplar trees are not valuable, but some poplar trees that have been struck by lightning have a certain chance of changing their aura and have the effect of suppressing evil spirits and warding off evil spirits.

Of course, not all trees that have been struck by lightning will change their aura, and some trees that have been struck by lightning have not changed their aura, so they will not have the effect of avoiding evil, and they will be considered white.

"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling well? Seeing Zhou Wen standing still, staring at the wood without blinking, Wang Ting couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Wen, who has always answered Wang Ting's questions, did not pay attention to Wang Ting this time, but stared at Wang Lei on the side, and said tentatively: "Mr. Wang, are you sure you want to choose this piece of wood?" ”

"Yes, it's the right one, you can help me design the look." Wang Lei said.

Zhou Wen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and sold a piece of lightning strike wood worth tens of thousands of yuan for three thousand yuan, this time it was really a big loss.

This piece of lightning strike wood has been cut and polished, and the traces of lightning strikes can be seen on the surface, if it wasn't for his father's advance notice, he can't see it as an expert, so how did Wang Lei see it?

The other party is an expert in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

Or a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, blind!
