Chapter 015 [Jin Si Nan]
"Junzi, let's call a car to transport these beams back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Qin Fan pretended to be in pain, but his heart was already happy, if it weren't for the Zhao family's eyes and ignorance of real gold, he would not have been able to buy these four priceless treasure trees for a mere 10,000 yuan.
"Xiaofan, aren't you crazy, you bought these broken pieces of wood for 10,000 yuan? If Uncle Qin knew that he wouldn't break your legs? Fang Xiaojun lowered his voice and whispered in Qin Fan's ear.
"Don't worry, you can't lose money on this deal, and it's still a big profit."
Qin Fan gave Fang Xiaojun a look, turned to Zhao Yuanguo and said, "Uncle Zhao, I'll take away these pieces of wood." ā
"Cheng, if you like anything, just go to Uncle Zhao and get it, Uncle will give you an acquaintance price." Zhao Yuanguo counted the stack of thick banknotes in his hand and said happily.
"This is the price of acquaintances, it's like slaughtering us like pigs."
Fang Xiaojun pursed his lips and said with an unhappy expression.
These wooden beams are invaluable, and Qin Fan doesn't dare to find a random place to throw them away, in case he loses them, it's too late to cry. After thinking about it, Qin Fan decided to put these wooden beams in the Fang family's compound first.
The distance between this old house in the Fang family's compound is not too far, but these wooden beams are too heavy, and Fang Xiaojun and Qin Fan really can't move them alone, so they called a truck to help.
"How are these pieces of wood so dead and heavy, I'm tired to death."
Finally moved these wooden beams into the car, Qin Fan was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he urged the driver to drive the truck to the mouth of the alley outside the Fang family's compound.
"These two boys are really in the water, a few broken logs are too hard to chop firewood, and they are still like treasures." Zhao Yuanchun sneered sarcastically and said with a mockery.
"The second brother is right, no one wants a hundred yuan of these pieces of wood, and this kid is still in a hurry to send money to our Zhao family, it's really lacking heart." With an extra 10,000 yuan, the Zhao brothers have no reason to be unhappy.
Hearing the words of the two younger brothers, Zhao Yuanguo suddenly seemed to grasp something, turned to Zhao Yuanchun and asked, "Second brother, what did you just say?" ā
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yuanchun said inexplicably, "I said that those two boys had water in their brains, and a few broken pieces of wood were too hard to chop firewood." ā
"No, no, it's the next sentence."
"They're still baby-like?"
"That's right!" Zhao Yuanguo suddenly thought of something, and said with a gloomy face, "What kind of treasure do you say these pieces of wood are?" Those two boys are not stupid, how could they spend so much money to buy a few broken logs. ā
Zhao Yuanchun was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief, "No, these pieces of wood have been in the Zhao family's mansion for hundreds of years, if it is a baby, how can no one know, and those two boys can be cheaper?" ā
"It's just that we can't see it, how can these two boys know that this is a treasure? Besides, what is a few broken pieces of wood worth? ā
Zhao Yuanguo also felt that it made sense when he thought about it, but he was always a little uneasy, and he always felt that there was something strange in it.
"I always feel uneasy, Yuanchun, you go to Fang's house to take a trip to see if there is anything boring, come back and tell me."
"Okay, then I'll go."
ā¦ā¦
Fang's compound.
"Just put these logs here, thank you, master." Qin Fan paid off the transportation fee, closed the door, and stared at the four black pieces of wood with excitement on his face, his eyes shining.
"Xiaojun, where did you get these pieces of wood?" Fang Zhenxing heard the movement in the compound and walked out, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Fang Xiaojun told Fang Zhenxing what had happened, and when Fang Zhenxing heard that they had exchanged 10,000 yuan for these four broken logs, he angrily looked for sticks everywhere to smoke Fang Xiaojun's ass.
"Uncle Fang, don't be angry yet. I bought these pieces of wood with Xiaojun, and I'm sure they're priceless treasures. Qin Fan hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade.
"Xiaofan, you say these broken wood are treasures?"
Fang Zhenxing put down the stick in his hand, glared at Fang Xiaojun fiercely, and asked curiously.
"Tell me what kind of treasure these pieces of wood are, I can't take these sticks in vain." Fang Xiaojun said with a sad face.
Seeing Fang Xiaojun's anxious appearance, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Qin Fan's mouth, and he pointed to the wood on the ground and said, "The material of these beams is not ordinary elm, but the most precious golden silk nan among nanmu. ā
"Jin Sinan?" Fang Zhenxing was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Fan, are you sure these are golden silk nans?" ā
"Eight or nine is not far from ten."
Fang Xiaojun was confused, unable to understand what Qin Fan was saying.
"It's amazing, Jin Si Nan was the emperor's wood in ancient times, and only the royal family is eligible to enjoy it, and the dragon chair of the emperor Lao Tzu is made of Jin Si Nan."
Although Fang Zhenxing is a martial artist, he has a lot of research on history and knows the fame of Jin Sinan.
"Jin Si Nan was a forbidden item in ancient times, and once the people found it, they immediately handed it over to the court. I guess that the ancestors of the Zhao family didn't know where to get these rare golden silk nans, but they didn't want to hand them over, so they thought of a way to paint the outside to cover up the texture characteristics of the golden silk nan, and used them as ordinary beams to build this old Zhao family mansion. ā
This also explains why the Zhao family didn't know that these beams belonged to Jin Sinan, and I am afraid that the ancestors of the Zhao family did not dare to tell people at that time, if it was known by the imperial court, it would be a big crime.
In this way, these golden silk nanmu have been passed down from generation to generation. It's just that the Zhao family didn't know that the most valuable thing in the old mansion was these four golden silk nans, and they sold the old mansion for a little profit, and as a result, Qin Fan was cheaper.
If they knew the truth, I am afraid that they would spurt out a mouthful of old blood in anger.
"Xiao Fan, how much are those four pieces of wood worth?" Fang Xiaojun's face was full of curiosity and excitement, and he didn't feel pain after being beaten twice by Fang Zhenxing.
"The value of Jin Si Nan mainly depends on the texture of the wood. The rarer the texture, the more beautiful it is, and the more expensive it is. ā
Qin Fan patiently explained, "The texture of Jin Si Nan is roughly divided into five levels, ordinary, medium, fine, best and rare. ā
"The gold silk pattern, cloth check pattern, and mountain peak pattern belong to the ordinary level, the water ripple pattern, the new material black tiger skin pattern and the gold peak pattern belong to the medium level, and the old material black tiger skin, golden tiger skin pattern, gold thread pattern, etc. belong to the boutique level."
"The best water pattern, the best wave pattern, phoenix tail pattern, golden chrysanthemum pattern, etc. belong to the best, and the gentian pattern, dragon scale pattern, gold and jade full hall pattern, and rose pattern belong to the treasures in the golden silk nan, which is a priceless treasure!"
According to the strength of the treasure light that Qin Fan saw in these golden silk nans, it can be concluded that the quality of the four golden silk nanmu of the Zhao family will not be lower than the medium level, at least they are above the middle grade, at least they are above the fine quality, as for whether they can open the rare gentian pattern and dragon scale pattern, it depends on luck.
"If you want to determine the value of golden silk nanmu, you just need to break the cross-section and look at the grain inside."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaojun hurriedly took out a sharp firewood knife from the yard, and compared his hand to break a golden silk nan to see the lines inside.
"Stinky boy, don't break it." Fang Zhenxing said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fang, Nanmu is very hard, just split a little cross-section, it won't be broken."
Fang Xiaojun didn't dare to be careless, carefully held the firewood knife, and split a section of Nanmu.
"It's golden, it's really Jinsinan!" Fang Xiaojun seemed to have won a grand prize of five million yuan, and his face flushed with excitement.
Qin Fan poked his head and looked at the cross-section of this golden silk nanmu, "The general golden silk nanmu is generally light yellow, and only the old material will show golden yellow, and the quality of this golden silk nanmu is very good." ā
The method of identifying Jin Si Nan is simple. The first smell of the smell, the real golden silk nanmu will naturally exude a unique fragrance, which is long-lasting and refreshing. And the fake golden silk nan has a camphor smell, which is more pungent.
The second look at the touch, Jin Si Nan is delicate and smooth, like a baby's skin, not cool to the touch in winter, not hot to the touch in summer, very warm.
The third view of the texture, the gold filament in the Nanmu is actually formed after the oxidation of the gum of the tree, only the best Zhennan old material, after more than a hundred years of oxidation process, will give birth to gold-like stripes.
Qin Fan pointed to the texture on the cross-section of this golden silk nan and said, "Look at the texture in the wood, does it look like a piece of gold ingots used in ancient times?" This is the gold ingot pattern, the boutique in the golden silk nan. ā
"The golden ingot pattern is very popular with merchants, and if you find a skilled carpenter to make furniture, you can easily sell it for millions of dollars."
Millions!
In 2003, one million was an unthinkable astronomical amount for ordinary people, unlike a dozen years later, walking down a billboard on the street can knock down a bunch of millionaires.
Fang Xiaojun was addicted to splitting wood, and found another golden silk nan, and without saying a word, he picked up the firewood knife and chopped it down.
The golden silk nanmu is as strong as gold and iron, and only Fang Xiaojun can split it, if it is replaced by Qin Fan, I am afraid that he will not be able to split a piece if he breaks his hand.
"Hey, this is an ordinary moire?"
Fang Xiaojun took a closer look at the lines inside Jin Sinan, and said with some disappointment.
Qin Fan's gaze fell on the cross-section exposed to the air, he chuckled in his heart, and said with a smile, "Junzi, you cut out the baby." ā
"Baby?"
"This is not an ordinary cloud pattern, but the old material Ding Ding Nan full of cloud patterns, which belongs to the best in Nanmu. This golden silk nan, even if it is just a log, the price is more than one million. ā
Hearing Qin Fan's explanation, Fang Xiaojun was so frightened that he almost lost the firewood knife in his hand.
I don't know if it's because he often helps his grandmother cross the road, Fang Xiaojun's character is bursting, and he even opened the precious old material black tiger skin pattern and the best wave pattern.
However, what Qin Fan and Fang Xiaojun didn't know was that outside the Fang family's compound, a sneaky figure was lying on the low wall, staring at the few golden silk nans with the best gold patterns, his eyes full of greed.
