Chapter 30 Wood

You can't be lazy in doing things, and a "lazy" word can ruin all your achievements.

Panjiayuan tourists flock, lively and extraordinary, waving their sleeves into clouds, sweating like rain, there is nothing more prosperous than this.

Retrieving the goods stored in the corner warehouse, stepping on his waist bag, Su Ren dressed as a hawker, dragged a large suitcase, walked east, looked west, took He Shen, and looked at any small antiques that could be picked up along the way.

The little milk cat's eyes are protected by a membrane, and it is blind for the time being, but it does not hinder its curiosity, with its long tail wrapped around Su Ren's neck, sitting on his shoulders and looking back and forth, looking cute and cute, which is very eye-catching.

"That······ Hmm······ Walnut. ”

Feeling that the placket of his clothes was being moved, Su Ren turned his head in astonishment and said in surprise: "It's you, who came to return the walnuts?" ”

The voice is soft and soft, like flowing water, with a sweet energy, clean face, white skin, jeans, yellow T-shirt, white safflower canvas shoes, looking delicate and timid, a little shy, giving people a feeling of wanting to be held in their arms and carefully cared for. The melon seed face is slightly childish, with thin willow eyebrows, and a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to speak.

Seeing Su Ren's appreciative gaze, the little girl's face was flushed with shame, her big eyes dodged, and a pair of pink little hands tugged on the shoulder strap with the beautiful sheep and sheep pattern, and said in a little panic: "No... No, Grandpa liked it very much, and Dad said I was biased······ I also want to buy a pair and give it to him······ Can be ······ May I. ”

Su Ren smiled dumbly, doing business to make money, meeting is fate, scanning the bustling crowd around him, and said, "Of course you can, but not now, you have to accompany me for a while." ”

The little girl showed a big smile, nodded again and again, took a long breath of aroma, carefully followed behind Su Ren, and while he was not paying attention, she looked at the little milk cat with curious eyes, and wanted to reach out and stroke it, but she didn't dare, and her hesitant appearance was very cute.

Continuing forward, passing by a stall with various timber placements, He Shen arched his hand on the side and said: "Master, there is an old locust wood, look ······."

Although it is locust wood, the age of the tree is short, the texture is poor, and it is not comfortable to live, according to Heshen, living in the current locust wood statue is like walking into a thatched house, ventilating everywhere, the facilities are simple, and it is by no means a good place to stay.

In the past two days, He Shen has contributed a lot, and Su Ren has made a lot of money, so he didn't think much about it, so he stopped in the wood area, dragged the suitcase to his side, and stepped forward to check carefully.

There are not many items on the pad cloth, most of them are all kinds of wood, molding wood carving, there are horses, bears, domestic dogs, mountain wolves, all kinds of things, most of the animals, wood carving is full of craftsmanship, no spirituality, rigid and pretentious, at a glance, it is known that it is carved by instruments, lacking natural beauty, as for the exaggerated price tag above, Su Ren can only hehe.

The stall owner is a man in his forties, dressed plainly, with a square and honest face, and when he sees someone looking at the goods, he does not speak, and stands with his shoulders crossed.

Su Ren squatted down, the little girl's pretty face showed joy, looked left and right carefully, and then stretched out her pink fingers to gently scratch the neck of the little milk cat, the little milk cat looked like enjoyment, snoring, lifting her neck, squinting her eyes comfortably.

The locust bucket in front of me is thick, about half a meter high, judging from the annual rings at the fracture, it is about less than 100 years old, the whole is like a stake, there is no bark, and the appearance is full of knots, as if it is covered with ugly tumors.

I secretly screamed in my heart that it was a pity, if this piece was not locust wood, these tumors alone would be able to sell for an extremely high price.

In addition to the locust wood in front of him, there was also a rectangular, panel-like wood that was hit by Su Ren, thick and heavy, with traces of anxiety on one side, Su Ren asked softly: "How to sell lightning strike wood." ”

The stall owner gave a thumbs up and said: "Little brother has good eyesight, the best coarse peach lightning wood, just arrived from the mountain, sincerely want 12,000, you take it quickly." ”

The little girl heard the peach wood struck by thunder, touched the little milk cat's head, and asked timidly, "Thunder struck the wood?" Peachwood? Are they the ones who can ward off evil spirits, make them into swords, and kill demons in movies? ”

"It's lightning wood, and it's also peach wood, which repels evil spirits, purifies the mind, and decontaminates the wood."

Su Ren patted the black foam left by touching the scorch marks on his hands, and said: "This thing is not uncommon now, there are many people who specially find peach trees on the top of the mountain with a lot of thunderstorms, and put iron wires and iron pillars to attract lightning strikes, and the harvest is good every year." ”

"Huh?" The little girl cracked her mouth, how could she not imagine that the lightning strike wood was produced in this way, and her mind couldn't help but imagine that the dark clouds above were rolling in the sky, and the thunder and fire were roaring below, and the peach tree was suffering, and someone next to her laughed, waiting to harvest and sell for money.

The stall owner was very dissatisfied, and hurriedly retorted: "Don't worry, brother, this is definitely not a thing on the assembly line, the authentic old peach tree dug up in the deep mountains, the age of the tree is definitely more than 100 years old, you look at this ring, texture, layout, no splicing, find someone to ······"

"Stop! Stop! Stop. ”

Interrupting the stall owner's tirade, patting the big suitcase beside him, Su Ren pointed in the direction of his stall, looked at each other with his eyes and said: "Opposite the second Wenbao Zhai in the corner, my stall is there, they are all mixed rice and eat together, these two pieces of wood, one goes back to practice, and the other goes back to make a tea tray, how much you want to give a real number." ”

"Yo, I didn't see it, the little brother not only has a stall at a young age, but also a skilled master." The stall owner complimented him a little, and then said cheerfully: "That's okay, come and go in the street all day long, pull a repeat customer, two pieces of wood, you pay 6,000, take it away immediately." ”

"Six thousand?" With an exclamation, Su Ren didn't say a word, grabbed the little girl's arm and was about to leave, making the little girl stunned and shrunk her neck shyly.

"Dude! Brother! The stall owner hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You buy, I'll sell, don't be in a hurry······ Not expensive! It's really not expensive, you look at the lumps of this piece of wood, there are more than 20 of them, go back to polish the roundness, string the rope, that is the best bracelet, the price is at least five times over. ”

Su Ren grinned and said mockingly, "Have you ever seen someone with a locust wood bead?" ”

"This ······" The stall owner scratched his head and was speechless in embarrassment.

The locust wood belongs to the yin, raising ghosts and attracting evil, and gathering filth.

Regardless of whether it is a fallacy or a superstition, as long as you are an expert in literature and play, you haven't seen anyone with locust wood beads, otherwise this piece of wood in front of you is full of lumps and has already been snatched away by someone.

"One price, two pieces of wood and a thousand oceans, I'll turn around and leave."

Su Ren's tone was affirmative, his expression was resolute, the stall owner pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, helped to put the two pieces of wood on the suitcase, fixed them with broken ropes, and Su Ren took the money to drag the box and left immediately.

No wonder there were so many people complaining about buying and selling things in Panjiayuan in the single room of the teahouse yesterday, these stall owners, shop shopkeepers, and looking for peers.
