Chapter 304: Huanghuali Maza

Soon after, Wang Guan turned the corner and walked out of the alley, and immediately saw that the street in front of him was very prosperous, with pedestrians and vehicles passing one after another, dozens of times more lively than the deserted alley

"Hurry up."

At the same time, Yu Feibai waved on the opposite street, with a look of excitement on his face. Wang looked over and found that the shop opposite was the Dabao Ya Play that he saw in the alley. If you look closely, the area of the shop is very large, and it is more than 100 square meters.

You can see all kinds of antiques in the store through the transparent glass, not to mention the quality of the antiques, but the thought of being able to run such a large store at least shows that the store is very strong, and there must be a lot of good things in the store.

With such thoughts, Wang Guan walked across the street, and before he could stand firmly, he was dragged into the store by Yu Feibai. But as soon as he entered the store, Wang Guan's feeling was immediately different. The blazing lights illuminate every corner of the shop, making many ceramics and jade pieces shine brightly, full of jewels.

At this moment, a sweet-looking female clerk walked over, turned her eyes, and smiled at Yu Feibai: "Hello gentlemen, what can I do for you?" ”

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and there is truth to this. Among this group of people, Wang Guan's clothes are ordinary and of good quality, but they are far from the tens of thousands of brand clothes.

As for Chen Shaofeng, it seems that he was lucky that he was not kicked out on the grounds of disheveled clothes, and there was no need to expect him to have much purchasing power. And Jiang Yi, who had been silent, stood behind Yu Feibai like a shadow. It also highlights Yu Feibai's status.

Well, the biggest reason why this female clerk judges people by her appearance is probably Yu Feibai is the most handsome among them......

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless. Being in the antique shop, Yu Feibai's mind was already attracted by those antiques, and he didn't bother at all, after hearing the inquiry. He waved his hand directly and said, "Let's take a look casually, you don't have to deliberately greet us." ”

"Oh......" The female clerk retreated with some disappointment.

At the right time, Chen Shaofeng sat down on a chair in the store. A little sluggish, he said: "Bai Shao, you can look at things by yourself, I want to rest for a while." ”

"I didn't expect you in the first place." Yu Feibai shook his head. His eyes scanned, and he suddenly walked towards the shelf on the left.

On the shelf, there is a small horse za, which looks very delicate, and the bracket with crossed legs is wooden, and the surface color is bright, which is very beautiful and generous, simple and elegant.

At this time, Yu Feibai picked up the little horse and looked at it for a moment. A slight smile appeared on his face.

"Something good?"

Wang Guan walked over, looked curiously, and saw that the face of Mazha was a hand-woven pattern, and the decoration was antique. The middle is supported by a brass shaft, which is relatively strong and durable. Of course. These are secondary, mainly to see whether the quality of Maza's bracket is good or not.

The bracket is a wooden structure, and if it is high-quality wood, then the value must be higher; If it's low-quality wood, no matter how good the workmanship is, it's not worth much.

"It seems to be Huanghuali." Yu Feibai whispered.

"Hai Huang? The more yellow? It's true? Fake? Wang Guan asked quietly, after all, Huanghuali is also divided into varieties. And the quality is different, and the price is also very different.

In fact, many people think that Huanghuali is a tree name, but in fact this is a fallacy. Huanghuali is just a literary name, it has a scientific name called Dalbergia fragrant, and even how many varieties of this wood there are, there is no accurate statement until now.

However, among the Huanghua pear varieties, the best quality is of course Hainan Huanghua pear, which is also known as Haihuang. As for the more yellow, it is Vietnamese Huanghuali. The price difference between the two is ten times, not to mention that there are some worthless woods such as grass rosewood, iron pear wood, etc., which often come to pass off as real huanghuali, so you need to be careful and vigilant. …,

Yu Feibai also knew it in his heart, so he didn't dare to be careless, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he was a little unprepared to say: "This ...... It should be Hainan Huanghuali. ”

"Are you sure?" Wang Guan asked, picked up the maza with his hand, and observed it carefully.

"I really can't say for sure." Yu Feibai said honestly: "If it is a new wood, you can smell the fragrance and look at the texture to identify." However, this thing seems to be some years old, and the texture on the surface is a little lighter, and the breath is even lighter, so it is difficult to judge. ”

"Then you have to be careful."

Wang Guan said in a low voice: "Although I don't know much about Huanghuali, but when I was in Shudu, didn't Old Man Yang say it." In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ancients had already begun to use shoddy products to pass off Vietnamese huanghuali as Hainan huanghuali. So don't look at this Mazha as if it is an ancient thing, it must be Hainan Huanghuali. ”

"That's ......," Yu Feibai nodded lightly.

"Two gentlemen, what do you think of this Huanghuali Mazha in our store?" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby figure and a smile appeared silently, and enthusiastically introduced: "This Mazha is an antique from the late Qing Dynasty, and it is a must-have item for the royal family and nobles to hunt in the Qing Dynasty......"

As if he was afraid that Wang Guan and Yu Feibai would not understand the origin of Maza, the middle-aged man gushed endlessly: "This Mazha is a small stool, which was invented by the northern nomads, so it is also called Hu Bed." Isn't it interesting to see such a small thing, also known as a bed? ”

"It's quite interesting." Someone next to him chimed in.

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were stunned for a moment, and when they looked back, they saw that when the shopkeeper introduced Maza, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, full of big boss style, and a woman with heavy makeup, also came over to listen.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the middle-aged man smiled to himself and asked, "This thing is so small, how can you sleep?" ”

"That's right." The woman with bright makeup next to her pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it sitting and sleeping?" ”

For a while, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little speechless, these two people were obviously taking ignorance as fun.

However, as a shopkeeper, the visitor is a guest, and there is no reason to offend. Besides, he welcomes this kind of guest the most, and he doesn't understand anything, isn't it the easiest to fool?

Thinking of this, the smile on the owner's face became more kind and friendly, and at the same time explained: "Bed, install also!" It means that in ancient times, anything made of a few pieces of wood could be called a bed. ”

"The chair is also a bed?" The woman in glamorous makeup said curiously.

"That's right, the tables, chairs and benches are all beds, Hu beds." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Madame is really smart, draw inferences." ”

"Really?" The woman in bright makeup was pleasantly surprised, smiling very happily, and she didn't know if it was because the shopkeeper said she was smart, or because of the title of lady.

"Of course it's fake." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "People are teasing you, you take it seriously." ”

"Nasty." The woman with glamorous makeup didn't stomp her feet, but she took the opportunity to be coquettish more than angry.

"Boss, you're wrong." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'm not lying, in the Han Dynasty, there was no seating, and the ancients used mats to sleep and kneel." As for the tables, chairs and benches, they were all introduced by the Hu people, and were later improved and carried forward by the Han people. ”

After saying this, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai nodded lightly, knowing that the shopkeeper was not wrong.

"Oh, so I'm lonely?" The middle-aged man frowned, feeling that his face was a little unbearable.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly changed his words, and continued to smile: "Of course, your words are not wrong, boss. Later, the ancients themselves confused the bed they sat on with the bed they slept. In order to distinguish the difference between the two, the bed where we sleep is called a bed, and then the name of other things is changed, so the name of the table, chair and bench is born. ”…,

"I see." The middle-aged man nodded, not knowing if he really understood.

At this time, the shopkeeper took advantage of the situation and said: "A few gentlemen, this Huanghuali Xiaomazha is a thing of the Qing Dynasty, and it can still be preserved so intact until now, it is very rare, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"You said this is Huanghuali's?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised. Things like red sandalwood and huanghuali have been hyped up, and he no longer has common sense, and he knows how expensive they are.

"That's right, authentic Hainan Huanghuali Maza." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "In ancient times, I am afraid this thing was not an item that ordinary people could use, maybe it was something that the emperor used when he was hunting." ”

"The Emperor's Treasures?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said, "Impossible, this thing is so old, it doesn't look like something used by the emperor." ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was already happy in his heart, and immediately said with a clever tongue, and hurriedly said: "Boss, the old is right, this horse is not used to sit, but when the emperor rides a horse, he rests on the ground and makes him step on the ground." You think, no matter how good things are, if they are stepped on too much, they will definitely be old ......"

"That's it." The middle-aged man hesitated and asked, "How much is the thing?" ”

"It's not expensive, half a million." The shopkeeper held out a slap in the face.

"Five hundred thousand? It's expensive. The middle-aged man frowned, hundreds of thousands of dollars are definitely nothing to him, the question is whether it is worth it.

"Boss, this is the real price, it's really not expensive." The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "You must know that the price of a ton of huanghuali wood in Hainan is three million, and there is no market. Logging has been banned in the interior, and only antiques can be circulated in the market. ”

"That's ......"

The middle-aged man groaned again, and suddenly asked, "Two little brothers, do you want to buy this thing?" ”

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were stunned, not understanding what the middle-aged man meant.

Then, Wang Guan hesitated slightly, then shook his head and said, "We don't buy things." ”

Yu Feibai next to him also shook his head, at first, he might have been a little interested, but when he heard the shopkeeper's flickering, he felt that there were a lot of problems with this thing, and he suddenly changed his mind.

"That's ......" The middle-aged man immediately nodded, waved his hand and said, "Then I don't want it either." ”

"Ugh!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and he couldn't figure out the situation a little. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
