Therefore, with alcohol cotton balls to identify the small leaf red sandalwood, there is still the possibility of taking medicine.

However, with an alcohol cotton ball, you can see whether the wood has been dyed or not!

Different woods have different observation methods. Still take the small-leaved red sandalwood as an example, rub it with an alcohol cotton ball, the cotton ball is stained orange red, and the part of the wood that is wiped will also change color, and when the alcohol is volatilized, the part of the wood that is wiped will return to normal. If it can't be recovered, then there is most likely a problem.

Seeing that Zhang Lu's interest was so high, Tang Yi picked up the woven bag, took out the wood, and put the woven bag on the stool, "Okay, you've had a good time." ”

Zhang Lu found a comfortable posture and pressed the triangular pimple, "From the place where the strand is forked, first saw a thin piece, okay?" ”

"No, you go diagonally down from the fork, hey, by the way, this is this place, I guess it can be revealed!" Tang Yi gestured to the side.

"Good!" Zhang Lu immediately "rustled" and began to saw. This wire saw is not simple, but the quality is very good, and it is also very sharp, and soon, a piece of wood falls.

Brushing away the sawdust, looking at the small patch of lines exposed, Zhang Lu's eyes opened wide, "Gall? There was actually a gall out of the gall! ”

As mentioned earlier, gall wood, also known as shadow wood, does not refer to a single type of wood, but to the scars of all trees.

The gall wood is the result of the proliferation of tree injuries and diseases, in fact, it is a metamorphosis of the wood.

The beauty produced by this metamorphosis is often the highest level of artistic aesthetics, such as the thin gold body, compared with normal calligraphy, the strokes are thin and thin like that, what is not metamorphosis? But it's beautiful. For example, goldfish is the appearance of a normal fish metamorphosis, which meets the beauty required for viewing.

The same goes for galls. The special pattern formed by the metamorphosis scar often has a strong sense of beauty, so that people who love wood texture are eager to flock to it.

There are large and small gall scars, mostly at the roots, and there will also be tree trunks, but they are generally small. The gall wood generally protrudes and forms a large pimple; There are also features that are not prominent, but can be seen from the outside.

However, Zhang Lu has been in the timber business for so many years, but he has never seen a gall like this sea yellow, which appears inside the wood with a forked trunk, but there is no indication at all.

"No wonder the roots are a little bit old, the trunk is a little bit old, and the rest of the place is gone, and the dare is all here, and it's integrated with the tumor scar!" Zhang Lu said as he sawed off another piece, revealing more of the gall wood.

Now, I can see it clearly, and the lines are too beautiful! It's hard to describe, it's like an abstract painting, the pattern is even a little weird, but it's pleasing to the eye.

The texture of sea yellow is the focus of many people's favorites, such as grimaces, eyes, waves, and so on. And the texture of the gall wood is undoubtedly better on this basis. Moreover, the texture of the sea yellow gall wood is very delicate, with a strong texture beauty, this kind of wood is indeed hard to find.

However, there is also a common problem of sea yellow gall wood, that is, it is easy to crack. After all, it is a tumor scar, and the density is uneven in some places, and it is inevitable that it is easy to crack.

But this piece, judging from the exposed situation, does not have any cracks! Dense, homogeneous and delicate.

Zhang Lu simply tied up his sleeves and continued to saw in the room.

Tang Yi didn't stop him, he lit a cigarette and watched.

After sawing it off, Zhang Lu ran back to the room and brought a small toolbox with a carving knife and sandpaper, and then drummed it again.

Eventually, an irregular gall of seawater pear roughly the size of a football was fully displayed in front of the two of them.

At this time, Tang Yi's room was already a ground of wood, broken skin, and sawdust.

But neither of them cleaned up, nor did they open the windows for ventilation, and they were all staring at the piece of wood.

So beautiful! And not just because of the pattern. After all, the pattern is natural and abstract, and although it has a strong sense of beauty, it will not make the two of them so fascinated.

The most beautiful thing is the color of the pattern formed by this piece of wood! At first, the color was actually revealed, but it didn't stimulate the eyes so much!

Yellow as steamed chestnuts just out of the pot, purple as grapes smeared with oil! This is Zhang Lu's intuitive feeling. It's a little vulgar, but it suddenly popped into Zhang Lu's mind.

And Tang Yi, a word suddenly popped up in his mind: Yao Huang Wei Zi!

Of course, this word is used to describe precious flowers. Yao Huang refers to a kind of yellow peony, from the Yao family, and Wei Zi refers to a kind of purple red peony, from the Wei family, which originally said that the two famous peony species of Luoyang in the Song Dynasty were originally referred to as precious flowers.

However, using this word to describe the color of this piece of sea yellow gall wood makes people feel very apt, not only beautiful, but also very high-end.

"Five hundred dollars! At first, I thought you didn't want to look in vain and shake your face in front of Lao Xie and Archie! Later, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't expect that there was such a superb piece in it! Zhang Lu muttered.

Tang Yi had seen too many treasures, and he quickly came back to his senses, "I didn't expect the color to be like this, but it feels like it may be out of line, and it may be a gall!" Indeed, the light and shadow he saw were black and white, and he could only feel the grid, the lines of gall wood, but he could not see the color.

"I'm glad I listened to you! Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, you are simply amazing! It seems that the thick sea yellow can indeed produce four or five hundred catties of good material! Zhang Lu shook his head slightly, saying this, but there was still an unbelievable feeling in his eyes.

"I just rely on feelings."

"Only the best masters will only rely on feeling!" Zhang Lu said as he picked up this piece of sea yellow gall wood and looked left and right. In his heart, he actually identified the feeling that Tang Yi said as a secret skill. He didn't expect Tang Yi to tell him this kind of magical secret technique, so he didn't ask too much.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if you tell him or not, the important thing is that he was lucky to hold Tang Yi, and Tang Yi also agreed to cooperate with him!

"You can take this material back and process it. What to do well, you just look at it, make money, half of it. However, I had to sell it in my shop as a good start to the high-volume wood business! Tang Yi said with a smile.

"How can you split it in half? This piece, I will help you design and process it for free, no money! Zhang Lu hurriedly said. At this time, he already knew that if he continued to cooperate with Tang Yi, this little profit was not important, but the important thing was long-term interests. This person, this kind of vision, that is the real source of wealth!

"You're so polite." Tang Yi handed Zhang Lu a cigarette, and went to open the window to ventilate, "That's it, you process it first, and then talk about it after processing, since you cooperate, it will be a long time in the future!" ”

The two chatted in the room for a while, and Zhang Lu went out to contact the trucks and the fellers, according to his thoughts, it must be as soon as possible, it is best to pull the tree to the county seat tomorrow, and then transport it back to Hangzhou by logistics.

That night, Zhang Lu tossed and turned in bed, he was mainly thinking about one thing, but this matter was a bit of a dilemma, and he didn't make up his mind after thinking about it for a long time.
