Scarcity is precious, and this is especially true of centuries-old mahogany like Xie Bin's hand. There are finished furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but due to the characteristics of the times, the styles and styles of those furniture are obviously not necessarily suitable for anyone. However, Xie Bin can make it at will according to the customer's requirements, and the gap is obviously not small.

Just like the recliner that the netizen wanted, was there a recliner in the Ming and Qing dynasties? Even if there are a few handed down? The netizen obviously knew this, and gave up without even asking the price.

However, Xie Bin himself has some ideas, he has such a good wood, why not use it himself? How many good things can you do with a ton of wood? Xie Bin himself is not a carpenter and doesn't know, but he can't think about it. If a chair is counted as a hundred catties, then it can be made twenty, of course, excluding scraps, leftovers and losses, at least more than fifteen can be made.

A chair is sold for 3 million, Xie Bin can make about 40 million at once, and this is still the lowest estimate, in the actual transaction, the price will only be higher, not lower. However, Xie Bin has other ideas, this old Haihuang is so rare, wouldn't it be better to keep it for himself?

Just do it, Xie Bin soon had several ideas in his heart, rolled up his sleeves and started work, the first time he played rosewood, and it was more than a hundred years old, this is not easy to encounter, it is estimated that Xie Bin will be like this once in his life.

If Li Moxuan didn't really like that Guan Gong statue, Xie Bin might not have seen these old Haihuang until he was old. These old sea yellows are very well preserved, there are almost no cracks, and the wood is very delicate. It is estimated that this is precisely the way the wood can be preserved, otherwise it would have been used up long ago.

In fact, to put it mildly, Xie Bin spent five million to buy this ton of material, or take advantage of it, if it is really brought to the market, this ton of material can be sold no matter how expensive it is. However, it is clear that Li Moxuan and Xie Bin's transactions are not equal. If there was no statue of Guan Gong, Xie Bin would have paid 10 million and estimated that Li Moxuan would not have sold it; And in the same way, if Li Moxuan didn't come up with these materials, he wouldn't want to get the Guan Gong statue.

That's the case in connoisseur trading, it's like bartering, you have what I like, I have what you like, okay, let's swap it, this is the most common situation in the antique shop.

Xie Bin carefully planned this ton of material and made his own planned objects. The specific gravity of this rosewood is relatively light, much lighter than sandalwood, and it is similar to ice cubes when placed in water, half-sinking and half-floating, unlike sandalwood that sinks when put in water. The sandalwood guy can be used as ballast wood.

However, rosewood is not quiet or noisy, the texture is like flowing clouds, hidden or visible, and the rosewood wood tumor is also very delicate and smooth, and the effect is very beautiful, especially the unique pattern of the wood tumor after cutting is loved by many people, especially the unique "grimace" is one of the boutiques.

And rosewood also has a characteristic, that is, its wood is very stable, no matter the cold or summer, it is not deformed, not cracked, not bent, has a certain toughness, and is suitable for all kinds of special-shaped furniture. For example, the three bent legs have a great degree of bending, and this can only be made of yellow rosewood, and it is difficult for other woods to be competent, even if it is barely made, it is easy to deform or break.

It is precisely because of this that when it comes to making furniture, rosewood is sometimes more popular than sandalwood.

But he said that Xie Bin loves these woods very much, and he can't wait to turn this pile of wood into his imaginary objects immediately. was busy working, but he heard the sound of Doudou, Xie Bin was puzzled, the mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Chen Jianjun's.

Xie Bin took the phone and walked out as he connected it, "Brother Heizi, what's the matter?" ”

"Xie Bin, hurry up, wipe it, I'm trapped in the car by your puppy......" Chen Jianjun shouted on the phone.

Xie Bin looked out, and sure enough, he was staring at a Humvee. Among Xie Bin's friends, only Chen Jianjun has a Humvee, which has now been discontinued, although there are also on the market, but they are all second-hand cars, or military cars.

Chen Jianjun's car is a civilian type, but it has definitely been modified, you don't need to get closer, you can feel the fierce spirit when you look at it from a distance, and it is worthy of being a big guy who can go to the battlefield. Xie Bin greeted him, swooped back, squatted beside Xie Bin and stuck out his tongue to show goodwill. Xie Bin grabbed a handful of beef jerky prepared for it, put it in the trough, patted its head and let it play by itself.

Chen Jianjun parked the car, opened the door and came down, and praised it: "Good guy, yes, where did you get it?" ”

"I bought it in the flower and bird market," Xie Bin smiled, "Why does Brother Heizi have time to come to me?" ”

Chen Jianjun looked at Doudou and praised it twice, and then saw Xie Bin covered with sawdust, and laughed: "Why did you go?" Carpenter? ”

Xie Bin patted the sawdust on his body and nodded, "Yes, I was originally playing with wood, it's normal, come in and sit." ”

Chen Jianjun smiled, followed Xie Bin into the living room, and nodded as he looked at the decoration in the hall.

Xie Bin pointed to the tea set and the freezer, "Make whatever you want to drink, I'll change my clothes." ”

Chen Jianjun was also polite, reached out and took out a can of Red Bull, drank it with a grunt, and said with a smile after Xie Bin came out after changing his clothes: "You lack a hostess in this house, do you want to find you a temporary use?" Ha ha. ”

Xie Bin waved his hand, "Brother Heizi, don't make fun of me, I am very satisfied with one Jingjing, where do you dare to provoke other women!" ”

"Hahaha, I think you can hold it for three years?" Chen Jianjun smiled: "Don't you worry about your Jingjing not wanting you?" ”

Xie Bin smiled, pretending to be infatuated and said: "Love is free, when she loves me, I give her freedom, when she doesn't love me, I give love freedom," this is Xie Bin's view from a novel, but there is indeed some truth, so I wrote it down casually.

Chen Jianjun looked at Xie Bin with contempt and said: "Don't pretend to be your love saint, if you really kick you, I guarantee that you are also heartbroken and infatuated, what is free or not," he said and asked: "We are going to play in Yun Province in half a month, will you go?" You didn't make it last time you went to Tibet, so you won't miss it this time, right? ”

"Cloud Province?" Xie Bin thought about it and asked, "With Yun Province?" It is the most suitable place for you and your sister-in-law to play slowly, places like Lijiang Phoenix are only liked by couples, what are I doing with a light bulb? ”

"Mountaineering," Chen Jianjun put the two forms on the coffee table, "This is the membership form of the Mountaineering Association, if you are interested, please fill it out." ”

Xie Bin took it and looked at it, in fact, it was nothing, it was not too formal, the level of enthusiasts was only, and it was not professional, but Xie Bin was puzzled: "What mountains are there in Yunnan?" What about mountaineering? I remember that there was a Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan Province where many people went to play. ”

Chen Jianjun smiled and said, "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, how is it?" Haven't heard of it, have you? ”

Xie Bin was stunned, how could he not have heard of the name of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain? A few days ago, when Mu Feng left, he invited Xie Bin to climb the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but Xie Bin did not agree at the time, and he didn't expect that Chen Jianjun and they would also target the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain this time.

The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is not very high, the altitude is half of Mount Everest, only more than 4,000 meters, but it integrates danger, strangeness, beauty and beauty, and the scenery in the mountain is constantly changing with the change of time and climate, and the scenery is very unique.

And because of the geographical location, the environment of this Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is also very complicated, don't look at it is only more than 4,000 meters high, but until now no human has conquered, no one has ever been able to climb to the top, so you can imagine the precipitous place of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. You must know that those professional mountaineering teams can conquer even the world's highest peak like Mount Everest, but they have no way to take the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Hearing Chen Jianjun say that he was going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, he was a little surprised, but he also knew that these people were just playing, and they would never challenge any peaks. You must know that real mountaineering is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

And the main purpose of Chen Jianjun and these people is actually to play and sightseeing along the way. In addition to the main peak of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is very steep, the surrounding places are very beautiful, and the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the mountain is relatively large, the upper side is the snow-capped ice and snow world, but at the foot of the mountain is the green grass meadows and woods villages, and there are many large and small valleys in the middle of the mountainside, and the valley is also a good place full of strange flowers, plants, rare birds and beasts.

At this time, there was such an opportunity, where would Xie Bin miss it, and said with a smile: "How can I not know the name of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I have been longing for it for a long time," said and filled out the form and asked, "What do you need to prepare?" ”

"Well, it's okay to buy a set of mountaineering equipment, and nothing else, and I don't expect us people to conquer the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain," Chen Jianjun said with a smile: "Take me to see your studio, I've always been curious about how you craftsmen work." ”

Xie Bin laughed, "You are absolutely disappointed when you see it, we are just like carpenters, we also use saws and chisels, and we also play with wood." ”

Xie Bin's words are not false at all, playing wood carving is really like this, most of the tools used by carpenters can be found here, and most of the tools and carpenters here can also be used. Just like the chisel in Xie Bin's hand, the woodcarvers have a set, but there are more models than carpenters, and they are much more fine.

These tools are nothing to look at, but Xie Bin's several semi-finished products attracted his attention, and he praised it and said: "Xie Bin, make me two bracelets, I heard that it is good for your body?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, "This is rosewood, if it is made into a bracelet and worn on the hand, it has the effect of relaxing the muscles and invigorating the blood and improving sleep, and the playfulness of the yellow rosewood is very high, you can play like Hetian jade, it is better after the pulp is produced, and it is really good to make a bracelet." ”

Uh, okay, this is Xie Bin's habit of practicing stalls, his mouth is slippery, and Chen Jianjun's eyes widened when he listened, "According to what you say, this is all a baby?" ”
