The aborigines of Hainan are of the Li ethnic group, who have lived in the mountains for generations, and used to be poor and remote, living in poverty. However, now there is an opportunity to go to the mountains to look for sea yellow and agarwood materials, outsiders can't enter the mountains at all, and it's easy to get lost. Only locals can go treasure hunting, so life gradually improves.

Haihuang is divided into east and west, from east to west, and the texture is getting better and better. The wild in the mountains is much better than that in the plains, and the more the sea yellow grows in the harsh environment, the higher the quality and the greater the density. Bawangling - Eight - Baisha - Oxianling, this is the treasure hunting route of Hainan Huanghuali.

"In the early years, there were many sea yellow in the village, but the state did not list it as a rare species, and the mountain people often went into the mountains to cut down trees and pull them back to make beams and tools." Brother Zheng introduced as he walked.

"At that time, people were able to carry the whole tree down the mountain?" The second marshal said curiously.

Brother Zheng smiled and said: "There is no need to pull the whole tree down, the sea yellow is mainly useful in the middle, hard and fragrant, and the white skin on the outside is very soft and easy to rot." The mountain people cut down the tree first, and then put it in the mountain for a few months, the white skin will be corroded by insects, and only the most essential grid will remain, and then they will go and move it back. ”

"A few years ago, Christie's auctioned a Qing Dynasty Haihuang case, which was almost 2 meters long and 1 meter wide, and it was rare to have a single material, and finally sold for tens of millions. It is estimated that there was such material at that time, and it is definitely not available now. ”

Wu Shixiang is a pity, he likes Huanghuali the most, so he pays attention to the furniture auction. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many large materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and it was the peak period of furniture. In the Qing Dynasty, Huanghuali was already very rare, and even the emperor was reluctant to use it, so he could only find imported red sandalwood instead. A large number of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture was shipped abroad, and in recent years, it has returned to China, and the price has increased hundreds of times.

"Yes, I heard that the big case was bought by Hong Kong people, and it was the owner of Jiamutang, who is known as Queen Huanghuali - Wu Jiaen. This woman is not ordinary, she made money in business in her early years, devoted herself to the collection of Huanghuali, and has a very close relationship with the old man Wang Shixiang, bought a lot of authentic Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture from him, and later operated in Hong Kong, is very famous, and is a top expert in the Huanghuali circle. ”

Brother Zheng is also an insider, he has been paying attention to information for a long time, and he introduces real big players with admiration, and every circle has legends and legends. Walnut circle is now Wu Shixiang is a legend, a bull man passed on by word of mouth. Huanghuali naturally has a master, and this Wu Jiaen is one of the top experts.

The three of them quickly walked to a house in the east of the village, where the people are simple and simple, basically they don't close the house at night, Brother Zheng walked directly into the door, shouted in the local dialect, and saw if there was anyone in the house.

"Lao Zheng, are you here? Who are these two? "Out of the house came a dark and thin man, in his early thirties, the Hainanese were very thin, probably in a tropical climate, far less burly than the northerners.

"Lao Zhou, they are my brothers, I heard that there is good material, come and see." Brother Zheng casually introduced, and then pulled Wu Shixiang to the house.

The house is very big, I built my own house, but the decoration is very simple, no furniture. Lao Zhou asked the guests to sit down, poured a few glasses of water, and beckoned the mother-in-law to cook.

"Where's the material? I was in a hurry to come last night, what was the good news? ”

Brother Zheng asked directly about the matter, he had to come several times a month, he was very familiar, and Lao Zhou had the best relationship, so I came to his house to have a look first. Many families in the village go into the mountains to look for materials, and maybe someone is lucky enough to pick up good materials.

Lao Zhou stood up with a smile, walked to the inner room, and after a while, took out a sack, which contained a lot of tree branch materials, as if there was also a tree head material.

"That's it, it rained heavily in the mountains a few days ago, and a lot of material was washed out by the rain, and the people in the village picked up some. These are all good avocados, look at this grid, it's no problem to make a skewer. ”

Brother Zheng took the sack, took out all the materials, and checked them with Wu Shixiang one by one. The material is very clean, Lao Zhou has cleaned it with water, and it is all head-covering material. There are no cross-sections, they are all trees that die and fall naturally, and it is all up to eyesight.

"These are too thin, and they can only be cared for 1.0 rosaries, and they can't come out of the bracelet." Brother Zheng first picked out the fine ones, and then focused on the materials that could be skewered.

"These are good, the pattern is clear, it can be regarded as a purple avocado, and it is no problem to get out of the right eye." Brother Zheng is an old connoisseur, and he knows the general situation with his hands. There are few branches in the elephant mountain, and they are all trees that have rotted for a long time after they have died, and they must be left behind. Mainly look at the thickness and pattern, the bigger the beads, the better it sells, and the more beautiful the pattern, the more expensive.

"How good this one is, at least 3.5 or more in diameter, it's a rare material!" Lao Zhou picked up a piece of material and boasted: "Removing 0.3 and keeping 3.2 beads is no problem, you will definitely be able to make a big hand, you see." ”

Brother Zheng didn't answer, he had already taken a fancy to this coarsest material, compared it, nodded, this one is good, it should be able to produce 18 big beads to hold.

Wu Shixiang also got started to see the material, and it was a rare opportunity to go into the mountains to gamble on wood, Huanghuali and red sandalwood are different. There are many red sandalwood materials, and it is very enjoyable to gamble, and the yellow pear material is small, especially the sea yellow, which is mostly this kind of branch material, which is not bad.

"This tree material is OK, it should be close to the roots, it is very oily, there is a high chance of sinking, and it has a good fluorescent feeling when made into beads."

Wu Shixiang handed the largest tree material to Brother Zheng, and the system gave a medium-to-high hint, but unfortunately there was a lot of white skin, otherwise there would be several strings of purple avocado bracelets of submerged old material.

"These materials are fine, I want them all, tell me the real price." Brother Zheng looked at it for a while and nodded, this time it was not in vain, the materials are good, and at least more than 20 strings of avocados can be produced when I go back.

"I'll calculate, look at this tree material, at least five or six catties, and count 30,000 for you! Then these coarser ones have a total of 20,000, and the remaining 18,000 are packed. ”

Brother Zheng shook his head and said dissatisfied: "It's too expensive, I'm the first one in the village to come to you, and no one else has gone yet, so it's cheaper." ”

The two of them began to bargain in the local dialect, Wu Shixiang looked at it, it seems that the material is not cheap, just take the tree material, the cost of each string is more than 1,000, and the market sells four or five thousand is not bad, no wonder Haihuang is getting more and more expensive.

In the end, Brother Zheng discussed with Lao Zhou, and received all the ingredients for a total of more than 50,000 yuan, and happened to have dinner at his house at noon. made a big business, Lao Zhou killed a home-raised chicken, got some wild vegetables in the mountains, and ate everyone relished.

"By the way, the old Cai family in the village picked up a piece of excellent material a few days ago, and I heard that it was a purple avocado scar! I haven't seen the real thing, but many people say okay, if you can't go and see it. ”

Before leaving, Lao Zhou remembered and told sù a piece of news, Brother Zheng was a little excited when he heard it, the tumor scar material was very rare, and he hadn't seen it for a long time, so he hurriedly took Wu Shixiang and the second marshal to Lao Cai's house.

"Lao Cai, people came all the way from Kyoto, you will be cheaper! In the future, it is indispensable to take care of the business, and buy yours at a high price if you have good materials. ”

"I can't say that far! Who knows if they'll come later? Can you guarantee it? It's easy to get a piece of the best material, and no one wants to take it away without 80,000! ”

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they heard a commotion inside, Brother Zheng and Wu Shixiang glanced at each other, and their hearts sank. Both sides began to bargain.

Three people hurried into the door, this kind of good material is rare, if you have the opportunity, you must take it. There were five or six people standing in the courtyard, and the one in the middle should be Lao Cai, holding a piece of tree material in his hand. There is also a local dressed up, presumably introduced by a middleman.

There are also three people who are obviously outsiders, the first one is in his twenties, with a somewhat feminine face, a pair of gold-wire glasses, a brand-name suit, and a superior appearance.

Next to her is a pure and beautiful girl, with big black eyes and very smart eyes, and her small mouth is muttering, and she looks like an elf and eccentric master. I watched them bargain with interest, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

He was followed by a bodyguard, in a black suit, black sunglasses, and a cool look. is obviously a rich second-generation traveler who goes to the countryside to experience life.

"Eighty thousand! You don't go to rob it! The somewhat feminine little white face said disdainfully: "The material is good material, but after all, it is a tree material, and there are a lot of white bark and wormholes in it. Eighty thousand? ”

"Do you love it! If it weren't for the villagers, I wouldn't have sold it to you! Lao Cai was very unhappy with the arrogant attitude of this young man, and said loudly: "You guys go quickly, 80,000 is 80,000, and no one is missing!" ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to go back to the house with the material, and when Brother Zheng saw that the deal had not been negotiated, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Lao Cai, don't leave yet, I heard that there is good material, and you won't wait for me to take a look?" ”

As soon as Lao Cai turned around, he saw that it was Brother Zheng, so he relaxed a little: "Xiao Zheng, you came just in time, I don't know where the outsiders came from, they seem to be rich and amazing!" Hmph, I'll show you, if you want me to be cheaper! ”
