Chapter 42: Old

"Okay, you pick one, and say double the price!"

The vendor looked up and saw that there was no one around, and directly asked Liu Yi to pick one, furniture usually can't be sold for a long time, unless it's a holiday.

"Okay, this is 10,000, you order, I'll take it!"

Liu Yi took out a wad of money from his bag, the seal on it had not been torn off, the vendor counted it, nodded, and the business was done.

Liu Yi carried the Huanghuali chair, this time it was a little bloody, if it was seen by people in the industry, they would definitely think that Liu Yi was stupid, but Liu Yi had his own plans, sometimes you want to get the goods at the price of the hawker, it is impossible, at least double it for you, people will definitely not sell it without this price.

In fact, the price of this Huanghuali chair is about 5,000, what Liu Yi values is not this, but old, this chair is very old, it is very close to Liu Yi's requirements, if you buy other furniture, Liu Yi does not have so long to do the old, if other furniture is made as he hopes, it will take at least ten days, who knows what will happen to Zhu Zhonghe over there?

Liu Yi stuffed this seat into the Land Rover, there was enough space for the seat, after shopping in the Penglai antique market, Liu Yi went to other markets, selected some small objects in the Ming and Qing dynasties, since you want to bury mines, naturally do a full set, just a Huanghuali seat can not let those people be fooled.

A set of tea sets from the Qing Dynasty, porcelain ornaments from the Qing Dynasty, and some antique items, he wanted to create the illusion that his predecessors were collectors or descendants of Qing officials.

In addition to these, some ancient books that are some years old Liu Yi also received some, and when he spent this money, Liu Yi was a little heartbroken, after all, the price of nearly 200,000 yuan is not a small amount.

After doing all this, Liu Yi went home, and he went home to make the Vietnamese rosewood chair more perfect.

When I got home, I said hello to the full-time nanny and the little girl, and started fiddling with the rosewood chairs in one room.

The appearance of a piece of furniture is dirty and old, there are many broken scratches, insects are still building nets inside, and even insect feces are there, and the legs are white, are these characteristics ancient furniture?

Wrong, these are not, there are many ways to make such a look, after the new furniture is done, smashed, soaked in rainwater, fished out and assembled, the legs and feet make wear marks, and also use a blowtorch to bake, as if burned, to make traces of use.

Now the counterfeiter is to use very fine sandpaper to polish the surface of the wood over and over again, then wax and rub the oil, then wipe the wood with leather shoe polish to make the wood hang with oil mud, and finally let a worker do nothing, only touch the piece of furniture all day, and within a month the so-called pulp is formed.

The pulp in Liu Yi's hand is better, and there is slurry in the place where he often strokes, and the layers of the pulp are distinct, which should not be able to be made in a month or two, or even take several months, so that the pulp will not have that astringent feeling.

After smelling the smell, Liu Yi was a little satisfied, there was no strange smell, but a fragrance.

After a careful inspection, there is absolutely no pulp where there should be slurry, it seems that the person who made the old seat is a veteran, otherwise it would not have been so natural.

There are old people who are careless, and they make the pulp in places where there should not be slurry, and people in the industry know that it is old when they look at it.

The legs of the chair have heavy grinding marks, there are whitish marks on the four feet, and the wax has also fallen off, which is completely in line with the characteristics of old furniture.

Liu Yi can only be regarded as an old bird, not a professional old-fashioned, he only needs to find out the flaws and then make the flaws old, then everything is OK.

The color is exactly the same as the color of the old object, which is completely relieved after this point Liu Yi is completely relieved, if the color is not right, he has to go to the new one, these old ones are completely meaningless, and if they are new, they will remove all the things, which is what Liu Yi can't bear.

Then there is only one obvious place, that is, there are obvious traces of mechanical carving in some places, the ancient craftsmen were not so precise at all, and there are still some obvious places in this chair that need to be polished.

There is a file in the tool room, Liu Yi picked the smallest, carefully repaired those places with obvious traces, after repairing, carefully polished with fine sandpaper, and then found some quicklime, added some water, made lime plaster, evenly smeared on it, and after the lime paste dried, Liu Yi completely removed the lime plaster, and the new steps were completely completed.

After carefully scrubbing with water and removing the lime smell, Liu Yi waxed in the new place, and after finishing, Liu Yi nodded after careful observation.

After the last flaw is made up, it looks like an old object at all, if it weren't for Liu Yi's hands, Liu Yi would be difficult to identify, I believe that those who planted mines should not have such good eyesight, even if Zhu Zhonghe can't do it, that guy is purely second-hand.

As long as they are judged to be old objects, then the fragrance or anything can be ignored, you must know that Vietnamese Huanghuali only really entered China in 96 years.

Liu Yi and Adou talked on the phone for a long time, and after hearing what Liu Yi was going to do, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked if there was anything wrong, isn't it illegal to do this?

Liu Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, let them be, if they look away and think that this is made of Hainan huanghuarosewood, then they are gone, and it has nothing to do with you, rest assured, this matter is not as complicated as you imagined, as long as you don't catch it red-handed, there will be nothing afterwards!" ”

Liu Yi was also a little worried, but when he thought that those people were going to plant mines for himself, he was angry in his heart, did he only allow others to deal with him, and not allow himself to resist?

"You help me rent a house, a month, well, it's better to have a yard, yes, I'll find an old farmer when I go, don't worry, everything is fine, when the matter is done, my brother will give you a red envelope!"

The scorpion centipede seedlings arrived in the afternoon, the speed was very fast, cash on delivery, Liu Yi paid eight thousand quickly, these scorpion centipedes Liu Yi didn't plan to let them have a good environment, just the food of the lightning marten, there is no need to be so serious.

More than a dozen large plastic baskets are densely packed with small centipedes and scorpions.

Liu Yi saw the speed of the lightning marten for the first time, just like real lightning, Leo Yi only felt a heavy and then light on his shoulders, the lightning marten appeared in the plastic basket, eating very happily, the lightning marten entered the plastic basket of the scorpion, and the scorpions in the whole basket were all huddled together as if facing natural enemies, erecting their tails and shaking the pincers to keep threatening.

It's a pity that their threat has no use for the lightning marten, nearly a hundred little scorpions entered the belly of the lightning marten, burped with satisfaction, the lightning marten licked its paws, and landed on Lewi's shoulder again, lazy.

"Hehe, Zhang Yeyi, do you see it, the poisonous insects here will be the food of the lightning marten in the future, I don't ask how good the quality of the raising, I just ask not to feed it to death!"

"Okay, boss!"

The little girl named Zhang Yeyi was so happy that she was dying, she used to think that she really wanted to raise scorpions and centipedes seriously, but she didn't expect it to be so easy now, five thousand a month, even if she was taken some shares by the housekeeping company, there would be more than four thousand, where to find such a high salary?

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it!"
