Tang Yi couldn't pretend not to know, "What's the matter with me?" Do you suddenly like 'coal spirits' too? ”

"Borrow a step to speak?" The male duck put down the general's can, stood up, took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Yi.

"The general cans are not bought? The large type of Kangxi kiln, the typical picture of travertine flowers and birds, the stall owner didn't lie to you, and now it is not easy to encounter such a thing on the stall! Tang Yi waved his hand and took out his cigarette.

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded at Tang Yi, "There is a regular customer who may come to get it today, I don't say dead, I guess this person will not pay such a high price!" ”

The male duck smiled, "I just want to pick up the leak, since it's all so plain, you better leave it to the regular customers!" ”

"Pick up the leak? You've got to have the eyes of this little brother! The stall owner gave him a blank look.

"Sure enough, it's a master!" The male duck pulled Tang Yi's sleeve in his voice, "Let's take a step to speak, I've met twice, what's fate, isn't it?" ”

Tang Yi smiled, nodded, and followed the male duck to a relatively secluded place. Wen Jia also smiled and followed.

"Who is this?" The male duck nodded at Wen Jia.

"My brother, if you have something to say, just say it!" Tang Yi looked back, but didn't find Sun Xiaowei and Gao Taiming, and the two didn't know where they went.

"Little brother, I'll tell you the truth, my name is Zhang Lu, I am in the woodware business, and I came to Shudu to discuss business. For antiques, although I am very hobby, I don't study deeply. After you bought that piece of coal essence last time, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, I checked a lot of information, and suddenly found a problem, lime is not good for coal essence, on the contrary, if it is an ink ingot, lime has the effect of preventing moisture. ”

"What do you mean? I didn't get it! ”

"That's the case, you bought it anyway, and I thought about it, you were pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger at the time, you must have picked up a leak. Tell me, what's that? I know, and I'm relieved! In this way, at noon, I will do the east, let's try the special dishes of Shudu, how about it? ”

Tang Yi glanced at Zhang Lu a few times, and felt that he really didn't look like a native of Shudu, and judging from the communication between him and the owner of that store at that time, he shouldn't know each other, so he said, "It's hard to say whether to pick up leaks or not, I studied it later, and it was indeed an ink ingot." ”

"When?"

"To Song." Tang Yi stepped on the cigarette, "Boss Zhang, are you satisfied now?" So that's it? ”

Zhang Lu hurriedly reached out to hold Tang Yi's arm, "Don't, let's eat together!" ”

"I said, now that I just finished breakfast, you are too sincere!" Wen Jia teased on the side.

Tang Yi looked at Zhang Lu's outstretched wrist, and when he raised his hand, the wooden Buddha beads on his wrist were exposed, and he also brought two strings!

"Boss Zhang, what kind of carpentry business do you do? This bunch of red sandalwood willow and a bunch of Zambian blood sandalwood, is it just to mix sea yellow and small leaves? ”

"Huh? You're also a master of wood! Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, "Don't get me wrong, this is a sample I wear, there are people in Shu who want goods, when I sell it, it's all at a clear price, what should people sell, how can I manage it?" ”

This red sandalwood willow, if the pattern is good and the background color is enough, it is indeed very similar to Hainan Huanghuali purple avocado, and there are many people who sell it in the market. If you don't understand and are greedy, it's easy to be fooled.

Rosewood willow has emerged in the market in the past two years, to be honest, the texture is good, the density is greater than that of Hainan Huanghuali, and it is not easy to make a good material with a grimace pattern, but the market value is a bit of heaven and earth compared to Hainan Huanghuali. Rosewood can't even enter the category of mahogany, and Hainan Huanghuali and fragrant sandalwood are precious mahogany varieties.

And Zambian blood sandalwood, which is indeed very similar to small-leaved red sandalwood, is also a very cheap mixture.

The scientific name of the small leaf red sandalwood is sandalwood red sandalwood. There are many specific classifications of this tree species, resulting in many mixed products of small-leaved red sandalwood on the market, the most similar of which is Zambian blood sandalwood and large-leaved red sandalwood. Take a string of Buddha beads with a diameter of two centimeters in a single circle, Zambian blood sandalwood can be done for dozens of pieces, and what is the price of small leaf red sandalwood?

Tang Yi smiled again, "Meals are free, you love to study so much, the level will come up soon!" With that, turn around and leave.

Zhang Lu hurriedly grabbed Tang Yi and handed over a business card, "Little brother, could it be that you are in the antique business?" There is a lot of opportunity to cooperate! ”

Speaking of cooperation, Tang Yi stopped and looked at the business card. Zhang Lu has a store in Hangzhou, and more importantly, there is also a wood factory, which is a first-hand source.

In this antique shop, although it is mainly engaged in antiques, but cultural products are also indispensable, such as wooden Buddha beads, which are now popular in the market.

Tang Yi nodded, "I do have an antique company, and cultural products are also incidentally operated. But there is one thing, I don't want red sandalwood and blood sandalwood, the grade is not good. If you can do Xiaoye and Haihuang, you can consider cooperating. ”

"No problem, let me tell you, now India is very dead to the small leaf red sandalwood, which is already a bit like Burmese jadeite, I don't think it will be long before I can only take the road of international auctions." Smuggling is rampant in India, and it all depends on the doorway! Zhang Lu said immediately.

"India, do you still have a way?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.

"There's no way to do a red sandalwood business? Du Te said that it is old material, I can go to the old forest to gamble wood, now there are so many merchants, how many have this relationship? When Zhang Lu talked about his profession, his humble demeanor when consulting antiques was swept away, replaced by a confident and smug expression.

"Xiaoye may still have old forests to find in India, but the wild sea yellow is almost extinct in Hainan!" Tang Yi thought to himself, since there was a possibility of cooperation, he simply inquired clearly.

"That's right, the wild one, now we can only collect the old materials for demolishing the house and dismantling the furniture, and then the old materials left in individual warehouses. However, some of the artificially intervened sea yellow are also old, such as those planted in the backyard of the family and grown on the contracted hillside, which can also be used! Don't hide it from Mr. Tang, I will go to Hainan Qiongdao in two days to see some trees and gamble on the spot! ”

The so-called gambling price is another name for Haihuang gambling wood.

Haihuang is very precious, and now the market is hot, and there are many old trees that appear sporadically, and the tree owner will not cut down the tree and then sell it. Buyers also can't drill holes to see because that would hurt the tree. Therefore, there is a phenomenon of gambling wood, which is very similar to gambling stones.

What is the gambling wood? The trunk of a living tree cannot be used, only the heartwood can be used, and the other wood is all white material, and no one uses it to process the finished product.

A living tree, of course, can not see the heartwood, can only rely on the observation of the surface, relying on experience and skill to judge the size of the heartwood, this is the sea yellow gambling wood.

And the heartwood of Hai Huang is called "grid" by the locals. This is the reason why the avocados and bran pears of the sea yellow are also called oil and bran pears.
