There were a lot of people in the innermost part, all of them were some mountain people driving motorcycles and carrying a large bag of wood to trade. It's just scraps, or branches, that they pick up from the mountains and sell here. There is basically no good material, and the good material is directly collected at a high price in the mountains, or processed into bracelets by themselves, and those that can flow to the morning market are garbage.

"How much does this cost?" The second marshal picked up a thumb-thick branch and asked.

"Eight hundred!" The mountain people glanced at it and casually quoted a price.

The second handsome was surprised, this little branch costs eight hundred? The bracelet that can be driven out of 1.0 at most is luck, and if you count the processing fee, a string of garbage will cost thousands!

"Let's go, it's not Haihuang at all, it's more yellow, deceitful!" After Wu Shixiang pulled the second handsome away, he said in a low voice.

The morning market is mixed with dragons and snakes, all here are tourists, do not know much, the mountain people are saying that the fidelity of Huanghuali, but not necessarily Haihuang. The more yellow there is, the price can be doubled.

"Now many 0.8 rosaries on the market are pretending to be sea yellow with more yellow material, because the beads are small and the patterns are not clear, so it is easy to fake."

"Doesn't it smell? Know it when you smell it? The second marshal was puzzled.

"That's the connoisseurs! The average player can't tell the difference, the sea yellow is a floral fragrance, and the more yellow is a sour fragrance, the theory says so. But what is a floral scent? What does it smell like sour? Everyone has their own standards, who can tell? ”

Wu Shixiang shook his head and said helplessly: "Haihuang is divided into east and west origins, and the more west the material, the better, mainly because of the relationship between climate and soil. And the more yellow is divided into north and south, and the really good north material is no worse than sea yellow! Whether it is oil-tight or patterned, there are superb. If the material is easy to distinguish, it is difficult to see the beads. ”

The distinction between sea and sea has existed since ancient times, not only huanghuali, but also agarwood. Vietnam has a large production there, so the price is lower, and Hainan has high quality and high price. Huanghuali can be more than twice as bad, the difference between the bracelets is not big, mainly depends on the quality, the better the more yellow and the sea yellow is about the same.

"Wouldn't it be a loss to buy a bracelet if you don't understand?" The second marshal was a little indignant.

"Then it depends on your eyesight, originally playing is to play with a mentality, you don't want to learn yourself, and you still want to pick up the leaks at the bottom price? Is there such a good thing in the world? Wu Shixiang sneered and said: "The so-called masters and experience are all lessons bought by losses!" It's impossible to find out the way before paying the tuition, but people don't talk about it after they see it. Don't just watch thieves eat meat, you don't see thieves beaten! ”

There is only one kind of person who is deceived, and real beginners will not be deceived, because they know that they don't understand, so they generally don't spend a lot of money to buy, at most spend a few hundred to play first, and it is very difficult to be deceived. The real master will not be deceived, one is to have vision, the other is to have a way, there are reliable buyers, and long-term cooperation has a sense of trust.

Only those half-people, I don't understand it, but I understand a little. I can't talk about mastery. As soon as I saw that there seemed to be a bargain to take advantage of, I was greedy in my heart and excited in my brain, and I was most likely to be fooled. It's okay to play, a few thousand yuan at most, and you can also play with a bracelet. If an antique is really going to go bankrupt, a fake is worth a dime.

All those who engage in collecting are destined to be a few, rich, idle, and eyed! The most important thing is to have eyesight, otherwise even if you have 10 billion family assets, you can lose them all.

Wu Shixiang turned around, gave up those small materials, and directly found some big materials to get started. In the past, Huanghuali was not valuable, and the mountain people used it to build houses, make tools, and some even used it to make fires. Because it is oily, it is easy to burn, and it is just right when firewood. Some mountain people collect some tools to sell, what planers, hoe rods, black, dirty, can not tell whether it is Huanghuali or not, can only rely on eyesight.

"How much does this cost?" Wu Shixiang found a good thing, an old planer, as soon as he got started, he was sure that it was sea yellow, and the weight was not light, so it was good to go back and make a carving.

"Five thousand, authentic sea yellow." A mountain man said at a fixed price.

"Five thousand is too expensive, how much is the minimum?"

The mountain people looked at Wu Shixiang, really wanted it, thought about it and said: "The boss wants a minimum of three thousand five, it can't be less!" ”

Wu Shixiang looked at the material again, it was old and oily, but after all, it was sea yellow, the weight was not light, and the size was more than enough to make an ornament. After several discussions, two thousand eight were won, which was also a bit of a gain.

"Hey, you're losing!" A man in his thirties next to him looked pity, scraped a small piece of wood with a knife in his hand, and saw that the cross-section of the two ends was grid, and the pattern was good, and he could make a grimace. But if you look at the middle, it's basically white skin, only two ends have some grids, and three thousand will definitely lose.

Everyone is very familiar with gambling stones, what gods are difficult to break an inch of jade, a knife to heaven and a knife to hell. In fact, gambling on wood is no worse than gambling on stones, and sometimes it is more difficult than that! Because the rough stone has weight, field, and skin color, the master can roughly judge the result through the details, and there is a guarantee.

And wood is born and raised, and there are too many external factors, and no one knows what it looks like inside. The gambling is greater, and now the Huanghuali wood is very expensive, often thousands, once it is opened to make a bracelet, it is a big loss.

"Go and see, there's an old purple avocado over there!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the people around him, and many people went in one direction, Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai glanced at each other, and followed to see the excitement. It turned out to be a mountain man who had just arrived, and took out a piece of old material that looked like a purple avocado, seven or eight centimeters in diameter, more than ten centimeters long, and the material was very regular, standard bead material.

"How do you sell this?" Someone next to him began to ask for the price, and there are often some connoisseurs here who come to shop for goods, in case they can pick up a leak.

"Thirty thousand! The material just picked up from the mountain, the big material was taken away by other bosses, just this small section, the authentic purple avocado old material. ”

The mountain people are veterans at a glance, and explain the key points clearly in a few words. One is picked up in the mountains, or cut from the material; The second is the old material of purple avocado, which has already been accepted by the big boss. When the onlookers heard this, they became more enthusiastic and started to study it.

Wu Shixiang frowned, instinctively felt weird at first, the purple avocado is a top-grade avocado, with a strong sense of fluorescence, and the pulp is as beautiful as glass beads. It is the most expensive variety on the market, and if there is a grimace or an eye, then there will be at least 30,000 in a string!

The color of this material looks correct, and the oil tightness can also be good, but he just feels that it is wrong, so he can only make sure that it is done. Wu Shixiang found an opportunity to take over the wood, very pressing, and the result was instantaneous, and the system prompted the same as his own judgment, the more yellow! Bury the roots!

"I'll give 20,000!" A man with a southern accent shouted, looking like he was going to win.

"Don't sell it, this kind of material is not expensive for 30,000 yuan, a fixed price, a lot of money!" The mountain man replied without raising his head.

"Twenty-five thousand, the calculation is that you can make two strings of bracelets, one string is combined to ten thousand, I don't make some money?" The man didn't give up, and continued with the material.

"Boss, look at the material, there is obviously a pattern, at least it is out of the right eye. How much is a bunch of purple avocados for the eyes? A string can pay off, and the rest is net profit! ”

The mountain people are experts, the person who said a word did not speak, carefully discussed with others, and finally took the material for 20,000 nine, and the mountain people finished counting the cash and rode away on a motorcycle.

"Friend, could it be Yue Huang?"

Wu Shixiang watched everyone slowly disperse, a little unbearable, walked up to that person, and reminded in a low voice.

"The more yellow?" As soon as the man raised his head, he was a little dissatisfied: "This oiliness and density can't be more yellow, more pressure on the hand!" ”

"Some of them are more yellow because they grow in a different environment, such as a riverside? Or is it a creek? Wu Shixiang continued to say one more word.

The man was a little dissatisfied, glared at Wu Shixiang, and affirmed: "I have been playing with wood for more than ten years, and Haiyue can still tell the difference!" ”

Wu Shixiang smiled bitterly and turned to leave, there was no way, he said this, and people still didn't understand. Hey, ask for more blessings.

"Is it really more yellow?" The second marshal said curiously as he walked.

"Well, the more yellow it is, it's the standard buried root!"

The second marshal was a little puzzled: "What is a buried root?" ”

"Huanghuali is not only the trunk and branches, but also a large part of the roots, that is, the part that is buried in the soil. In the past, there was a lot of material, and no one used the roots to do anything. Now the branches are scarce, and the one just now sells for eight hundred. Many people have the idea of tree roots, because they are in the ground all year round and the color is very dark, so they say that it is a purple avocado. The root has strong water absorption and large moisture, and it must be pressed. ”

"That's obviously the buried root material, and the more yellow it is, the sea yellow can't reach this weight even if it's the root material. I can't see it now, after half a year and a year, he will cry! ”

"What will it become?"

Wu Shixiang predicted: "Once the water evaporates and the oiliness is not enough, the wood fibrosis is obvious, the brown eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and there is nothing beautiful to speak of." If it is not well preserved, it will definitely crack, whether it is better to make 0.8 prayer beads, the bracelet will definitely not work. But I think that person is also an expert, and the beads are about to be sold, so I pity the player who doesn't know who it is. ”

Wu Shixiang didn't have much interest in watching the morning market, and he was considered to have gained something, and he didn't come in vain. The two of them returned to the hotel and had a sumptuous seafood meal at noon. In the afternoon, I was ready to take a taxi to the real destination, the East Lake Flower and Bird Market, to find an acquaintance Xiao Zheng.
