Chapter 298: God's Gift

This time, Li Yi chose the state-owned timber trading market located on Yehai Avenue, in fact, there are more shops here to gamble on wood, and they are bigger, but because he explained to Gu Feng that he was betting on Huanghuali, he was ranked second by Gu Feng here.

This market is different from the timber market they went to yesterday, the wood of the merchants is mainly all kinds of mahogany, although the average price is much lower than that of Lao Haihuang, but the variety and quantity are completely different.

Passing through the normal timber trading area, Gu Feng parked the car in an empty field, Zheng Shusen got out of the car and looked, I'll go! It's really piled up this time, how to bet on this?

Li Yi got out of the car and took a look, saying that it was a bit exaggerated to say that the piles were piled up, but it was indeed a lot, just the few that he saw in front of him, adding up to more than 500 pieces of wood, and there were many large materials of more than 50 centimeters.

"This is mainly for mahogany furniture manufacturers, and yesterday's market was mainly for Huanghuali fans, of course, it is different. Gu Feng, you drive along, let's go around casually first. ”

Li Yi's focus on coming here has also changed, although finding wood with cool air is always the first priority, but there are all kinds of mahogany here, and there are many good materials, the reason why he chose to come here is mainly to buy some of the various materials to take back.

Different woods, their carving techniques are often different, more contact, try each, for the progress of his carving skills, should be helpful.

But after only looking at more than a dozen, Li Yi sighed softly, it seems that even if you find wood containing cool air here, it is unlikely to find it out.

Because, because of the large number of wood here, most of them are stacked in piles, and this way of stacking, although it is convenient for the spirit card to absorb the cool air, but after the absorption, he has no way to tell which wood it is drawn from!

You can't buy a lot of them and look for them slowly, right? What's more, even if he buys them all, because the cool air is gone after absorbing it once, how can you let him tell the difference?

Since he can't find wood with cool air, he should concentrate on buying wood, anyway, this trip to Hainan is not empty, at least he knows that there may be the answers he needs in the primeval forests of Hongshan, Vietnam.

Li Yi really doesn't know much about cool air, before discovering the demon eye, he always thought that antiques and gems contain cool air, which is a natural thing, but since he found cool air in the demon eye and huanghuali, since he found that cool air can also help him breathe underwater, he has been a little blindsided.

Li Yi once regarded cool air as a criterion for judging whether an item is precious, even if he found that there may be zài cool air in ** plants, he still insists on this opinion. However, the fact that the cool air could help him breathe underwater made his understanding of the cool air change drastically.

Perhaps, the cool air is the incomparably magical aura that has been described in various novels?

If it is aura, it is indeed easier to explain, first of all, as far as antiques are concerned, because people are the spirits of all things, valuable things created by human hands, and after a long period of precipitation, it is not very surprising to have aura.

And all kinds of gems are born from the spirit of Zhong Tiandi, and it is better to understand it if you have aura. As for the demon eye and huanghuali, it can be explained for the same reason.

However, if these speculations are really true, then the aura that is formed as the essence of heaven and earth only has a little effect? No way! However, how can we find its other functions, do we really have to find two Dao Treasures to cultivate immortals?

However, whether others believe it or not, even if he has a treasure like the Spirit Appreciation Card and He Shou Wu, he doesn't believe that there is really a store for cultivating immortals, and he won't be stupid to try.

Let's just do it first, this is his helpless choice after thinking about it repeatedly, but otherwise, what can he do?

Putting his mind down, Li Yi walked towards a shop pù with two huge logs thrown at the door of the house.

The diameter of these two logs is more than 40 centimeters, and the length is also more than 3 meters.

With such a large material, if the quality is really good, the price is a bit considerable.

Especially the huanghuali, Li Yi also found a tree nodule the size of a baby's skull at one end of the wood. There is such a big tree nodule on Huanghuali, it's amazing, this wood is definitely tens of millions!

Huanghuali is different from other wood, because its own oil contains a special substance that can kill bacteria, so it is difficult to produce disease, and furniture made of Huanghuali is rarely destroyed by insect infestation.

Therefore, the tumors on the Huanghuali can be described as extremely valuable, if the golden silk nan gloomy wood that Li Yi untied yesterday is replaced with a Huanghuali, because the storage of those tumors is likely to be more than five times more valuable!

It is basically a recognized fact that there is no tree nodule on Huanghuali, and even if there is, it will not grow much. And once the tumor appears, if it is big enough, it is definitely a rare treasure!

Because of the storage of bactericidal substances, even if there is a tumor on the Huanghua pear, the growth rate of the tumor is very slow, and it often takes hundreds of years to clearly see that it is larger.

On this huanghuali plant, the tumor body is only exposed, which is about the size of a baby's head, which shows that the age of this huanghuali tree is at least thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years!

Trees also have a lifespan, like Li Yi's He Shou Wu, which can grow for more than 10,000 years and is still alive, it is definitely an outlier in an outlier, and in the same way, this Huanghuali is definitely an outlier.

After determining these, the first thing that came to Li Yi's mind was the cool air, if there was no cool air in such trees, then he really didn't know what the cool air was based on.

However, although the scene under the perspective gave him a thrilling feeling, there was no cool air in this huanghuali plant.

It didn't matter if there was no coolness, because at this time his mind was completely attracted by the wonders he saw through his perspective, and he didn't even have time to produce even the slightest regret and chagrin.

Because he saw a huge tree nodule!

The diameter of this huanghuali is very large, long enough, and there are tumors, but why can't it be sold? It stands to reason that such a product, no matter how high the price, should be very sought-after.

Before seeing the internal situation, Li Yi guessed that it might be because of his good luck, the boss just put it out, but as soon as he saw it, he understood that it was because of the weight.

To determine whether there is a cavity in the middle of a mahogany, weight is a very important basis. Experienced gambling wood buyers, according to the different species, length, and diameter, the estimated weight is basically the same. If, after weighing, there is a significant deviation in this weight, then it proves that the wood cannot be gambled, because its interior has probably been swallowed up by a huge cavity.

This huanghuali is like that. Under Li Yi's perspective, in addition to the sapwood about six or seven centimeters thick, the heartwood part of the wood is basically a big hollow, and in this hollow, there is a huge irregular nearly oval flower yellow tumor with one large end and one small end!

It's like a human mother, and a huanghuali pays the price of hollowness, just to give birth to this tumor! The magic of creation is as it should be!

Such a big hole that almost hollowed out the entire log, of course, the weight is not right, not to mention those veterans, even an ordinary person who knows that the internal situation should be judged from the weight, it is impossible to bet on this wood!

This piece of wood is like a gift specially prepared by God for Li Yi's perspective!

After changing the perspective in a few directions, Li Yi basically determined that the weight of this tumor should be at least 70 kilograms, and such a large tumor means that this huanghuali has survived for at least tens of thousands of years!

Evil, a tens of thousands of years old ancient tree was tragically poisoned by human beings just because it was Huanghuali! In the past tens of thousands of years, how many winds and rains has it experienced and how many natural disasters have it escaped? However, in the end, it was planted in the hands of humans, who claimed to be the spirits of all things!

Putting away the emotion in his heart and carefully checking the situation of the wood, Li Yi couldn't help but be a little grateful to the master of gambling on the wood. If he hadn't accurately judged the specific size and location of the hollow, where would such a superb person still have his turn?

Although the interior is completely empty, because of the storage of the nodules, the price of this material should not be too easy to say. Li Yi decided to take a look at the red sandalwood next to him, and when the time came, he could confuse the boss for a while.

Just like mahogany, there are many kinds of rosewood itself, and it is clearly recorded in the "Taxonomy of Chinese Trees" that there are about fifteen species. However, there is only one kind of red sandalwood in the real sense, that is, what we call red sandalwood since ancient times, and that is what we often call "small leaf red sandalwood".

Rosewood can not be made for thousands of years, and it is a real "ten sandalwood and nine emptiness", the largest rosewood found at present is only more than 20 centimeters in diameter, and its precious Cheng dù can be imagined.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, due to the shortage of rosewood, the royal family also purchased red sandalwood from private traders at high prices from time to time. There are records of the purchase of rosewood almost every year in the work files of the Qing Palace. During this period, an unwritten rule gradually formed, that is, no matter what level of officials, as long as they saw rosewood, they would never let it go, buy it all, and hand it over to the royal family or local weaving institutions.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, all the timber hoarded by private merchants in various places was also bought and cleaned, and these timbers were decorated in the Old Summer Palace and the palace of the Emperor Taishang, Tongzhi, Guangxu Wedding and Cixi's 60th birthday There is little left; By the time of Yuan Shikai, all the remaining rosewood had been used up.

Therefore, in the market now, the price of rosewood is almost "every inch of wood", and some of the best old materials are even as high as 50,000 or 60,000 kilograms! For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
