It's all from the villagers, and it doesn't have any effect on Archie, of course he is very happy, "Okay! ”

However, at this time, the two men beside Archie, one tall and one short, that is, the two buyers, showed a look of displeasure.

Whether it was Zhang Lu or Lao Xie, naturally they didn't tell the truth. Zhang Lu saw that there were a lot of sea yellow trees, and of course Lao Xie knew that this was just a pretext, so he cooperated with the situation. However, even if this is the case, the buyer is reluctant to be watched while the transaction is made.

Seeing this, Tang Yi said with a smile, "Don't worry, we are also businessmen, we know the rules of business, we just open our eyes, I don't listen to you to negotiate the price, I just want to see what is going on with this gambling wood!" ”

"That's it, Lao Xie and I grew up in the same village, bare-assed, very relieved!" Archie also said on the side.

"Let's go!" The tall man nodded. On other people's land, he has to be a little smoother, and besides, he also wants to save time.

Several people came to the backyard of Archie's house, Tang Yi saw that the tree was really like a slingshot, the diameter of the main trunk was about twenty centimeters, but it was only about half a meter high, and then there were two large forks, the diameter of the forks was about ten centimeters, and there were many small forks more than one meter up.

Obviously, only the main trunk and two large forks of more than one meter can be used, and the head of the tree cannot get out of the "grid".

The blue-gray bark and green leaves were not visible to the layman, but the two men, one tall and one short, stared very seriously.

After watching for about ten minutes, the two looked at each other and nodded, and walked to Archie's side.

Tang Yi and Zhang Lu also looked at each other and nodded, and avoided it outside the hospital, because they would definitely have to negotiate the price next.

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard, closed the door, walked a little farther away, and lit a cigarette each.

"How's it going, do you see what's going on?" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"This tree is thirty or forty years old, and I'm not very optimistic!" Zhang Lu squinted his eyes and said, "Haihuang has to be ten or twenty years old before it begins to give birth, if it is fifty or sixty years old, the best big tree may be able to give birth to a grid of twenty or thirty centimeters thick, and an ordinary tree, fifty or sixty years is a grid of more than ten centimeters thick." However, this tree is only thirty or forty years old, and even if it is qualified, I am afraid it can only make a few rolling pins. ”

"It is enough to be able to make a rolling pin and make Buddhist beads." Tang Yi asked, "How do you negotiate the price of gambling wood?" ”

"It's more complicated, and it seems to be mostly a matter of feeling. In fact, any experienced buyer will have an estimate. Zhang Lu explained, "For example, this tree, according to the trunk and bifurcation, estimate how much it can be out of the ordinary, how much it can be out of the moderate, and then estimate it according to its weight, and then naturally try to lower the pressure." But it can't be too low, and the tree owner isn't stupid. ”

"How big is the gap between the estimated weight price of this kind of gambling wood and the clear material in the timber market?"

"For new materials like this kind of manual intervention, less than 50 years old, the estimated price is at most seven or eight hundred yuan a catty. If it is an old tree, it looks good, and the estimated price can reach 2,001 catties. The good material on the market, that is pure, the price is very transparent, ordinary, about 3,000 a catty, what pattern is good, and even grimace, a catty is easily over 10,000 prices. ”

Tang Yi nodded, "It seems that as long as you can get out of line, even if it is a few centimeters in diameter, or even two or three centimeters in diameter, you can make beads, and you won't lose if you win the bet." ”

"Of course. However, if you lose it, you don't have a penny! For example, pure white material, such as toothpick grid, then burn it as firewood! ”

As the two were talking, the door creaked open, and Archie poked his head out, "After collecting the money, come in and see the ingredients!" ”

Lao Xie didn't leave the hospital with Tang Yi and Zhang Lu just now, but went to the house to drink tea. When Tang Yi and Zhang Lu entered the hospital, Lao Xie had already watched again.

Two men, one tall and one short, were holding the pickaxe prepared by Archie, picking the roots of the tree.

The sea yellow material, the upper part of the thick roots, naturally can not be let go, the so-called root material, is the part that refers to.

After digging a pit and a half meters deep, the two men dug up the roots of the tree, and at this time, the short man suddenly exclaimed, "There is a grid on the roots!" ”

Tang Yi fixed his eyes, and sure enough, on the section of the thick tree roots, a small piece of purple-brown mixed with yellow patterns appeared, and the color felt a little, but it was no more than two centimeters long, no more than one centimeter wide, and the shape was not very regular.

Even so, the faces of the two men were so pleasantly surprised.

Just as Tang Yi was fixed on it, suddenly, a light and shadow began to extend upwards along the grid that appeared! It's intermittent, though not so bright, like an X-ray.

Although the brightness of the light and shadow is slightly worse than normal light, the layers are clear, the middle part is whitish and shiny, and the edge part is gray and dark.

Tang Yi was overjoyed! It seems that this white and shiny one should be the lattice inside the tree!

This is a situation that has never appeared, according to the past, the wooden treasure, there will be a turquoise treasure, but it is an antique with years, now this is a living tree, but the heartwood part is more valuable.

However, under scrutiny, such light and shadow can appear! This is not the same as the Baoguang projection that appeared in the gambling stone, the Baoguang projection has colors, and even the color and level of the blue eyes and purple pupils can be seen clearly, and this one is more like a black and white negative!

However, this sense of light reminded Tang Yi of the purple dragon that had appeared in his mind! It's a purple light, but the light is similar to this! And this black and white color is a bit like the black and white tones in the mysterious space of the Xuanyu Holy Ring!

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Tang Yi also observed that the distribution of this sea yellow tree is really interesting!

At this time, two men, one tall and one short, had already begun to use a simple chainsaw to see the tree with Archie's assistance.

Since the root has a bit of purple avocado, it naturally starts from the place where the root and the trunk are connected.

A rustling chainsaw sounded, and soon the roots and trunks of the tree were separated. As a result, the two men, one tall and one short, were dumbfounded! The whole big whiteboard, how can there be any qualification?

The two of them discussed for a while, and a small piece of purple-brown was found at the bottom of the root, and a few centimeters were sawed down and a piece was cut. As a result, there was indeed still a purple-brown wood, but it was the size of a matchhead!

The eyes of the two of them were cold. Archie said on the side, "Keep cutting, maybe you can get out of the ordinary somewhere!" ”

Now, of course, we have to continue to cut. As a result, I made another cut above the size of the match head on the root material, but there was nothing.
