The old man still had some guesses in his heart that Zhang Can might be a descendant of a carpentry family, familiar with wood, so he could recognize so much wood, but no matter how familiar he was, there were also woods that he couldn't recognize, such as those that he couldn't see, which were extinct, or extremely precious wood, and this young man was unlikely to recognize them!

And the two small pieces of wood he took out are basically impossible to see on the market, and extremely precious wood, and because they are precious, so he has not carved them into works, but treasured them, and now it is naturally difficult to take them out Zhang Can, to see if he has real talent and learning, or usually in the family environment to see a lot of recognition before he can recognize it, at this time, the old man just wants to try Zhang Can to see if he recognizes it, as for his stone, it is naturally going to be cut for him. Zhang Can took the two small pieces of wood in his hand, although they were very small, but he felt heavy in his hands, these two pieces of small wood were very weighty.

As soon as the old man took it out, there was a faint fragrance floating in the store, Zhang Can smiled, raised one of the pieces, and said to the old man: "This piece is light red and brown in color, it looks like it has a slight luster, the texture is black and white, the depth is staggered, the structure is evenly proportioned, and the weight is hard and heavy, this is a piece of Indian ebony." ”

The old man couldn't close his mouth when he opened his mouth, although he knew that it was very likely to be difficult for Zhang Can, but he didn't expect Zhang Can to recognize the wood very lightly, but there was still the last piece left, which was also the thing at the bottom of the old man's box, I don't know if Zhang Can could recognize it.

Zhang Can was really surprised to see the old man, and did not speak, and immediately took another piece of small wood in front of him, looked at it, and then sniffed again, smelling the faint fragrance, and then said: "On the surface of this piece of material, the pores are not very fine, and the color is also a little dull yellow, well, this thin aroma and taste is 'drilled' into my nose, and then look at the shape of this piece of material, as if it has been made with oil, but after I touched it, there was no oil mark on my hand, I am sure that this is a piece of Hainan agarwood." ”

The old man opened his mouth and said "ahh......hh

Before the old man came back to his senses, Zhang Can said again: "Master, but the color of your agarwood is dark yellow, and the texture is not very fine, it is not the best agarwood, and if it is counted, it can only be regarded as a second-class grade, but it is also rare!" ”

The old man was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't help but ask, "Little ...... Little brother, how can you recognize these things of mine? What the hell do you do? ”

Zhang Can smiled and said: "Master, I am an antique appraiser, I used to be in Jincheng, I just came to the capital, I am not familiar with the capital, and it is the first time to come to this street, so the master laughs!" ”

"No, no, your eyesight skills are very high, I didn't tell you that ......" The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious, how can a young man like you know so much?" In the antique appraisal industry, it is difficult to learn the technique well! ”

Of course, Zhang Can knows the old man's thoughts, in the antique industry, young people can't learn and don't have the patience to learn experience and skills, and the appraisal of antiques, experience is especially important, that experience can not be learned from books, besides, learning from books is only on paper in the end.

smiled and said: "Master, I only know a little bit about it, I am not a master, and there is ......" said and raised the black wood in his hand and said: "In fact, agarwood is called agarwood, which is somewhat misunderstood, agarwood is not a kind of wood, unlike sandalwood, sandalwood is real wood, and agarwood is a solid condensate mixed with resin and wood components in a special incense tree, this kind of incense tree actually does not have a special fragrance in the wood itself, And the wood is also relatively soft, such as the Malay agarwood tree, the Guanxiang tree, the Indian agarwood tree, which can form agarwood, the more coagulation these trees produce, the greater the density, the better the quality of the formation, the people in ancient times did not have modern scientific instruments to identify, so they can not sink into water to divide the agarwood into different grades, into the water that sinks, that is the best grade of agarwood, in ancient times called 'agarwood', half-floating and half-sinking is called 'stack incense', slightly into the water and floating on the water, that is the worst, called ' Huang ripe incense', this piece of the master must be able to sink into the water, it is 'agarwood incense', but it can't be regarded as the best in agarwood, but the value is also amazing, at least worth hundreds of thousands, and that piece of Indian ebony is only worth about 10,000 pieces! ”

Zhang Can said this, and even made the value of the old man's treasure clear, the more surprised the old man became, he really looked away, and he didn't think that Zhang Can was really a master!

The old man was stunned, and quickly invited Zhang Can to sit down, and then said: "Little brother, hey, hey, my old man has always thought that his eyesight is good, but I didn't expect to plant a big heel fight today!" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he put the two pieces of wood back in the cabinet and locked them, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call, and as soon as the phone rang, he said loudly: "Boss, give me a sufficient amount of fatty sauerkraut, and the side dishes are also enough for me, huh...... Hurry up and send it over, old Wu Tou's seal stall, don't send it to the wrong ......"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Can smiled and said, "Master, will it disturb your meal time?" ”

Old Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "What do you say?" I'm a person, that's a person who doesn't care about anything when he meets a confidant, for many years, my old Wu Tou hasn't met a person who can be eye-catching, not to mention that it's still as young as you, it's really rare, rare, I'll eat fat sausages and drink rice wine with you today, and talk about antiques ......"

Only then did Zhang Can know that the fat intestine called by Lao Wu was meant to entertain him, and immediately said: "Master, how can you be embarrassed?" I was just...... Just ......"

"Don't use anything just no, your stone, you can rest assured, how you want to cut, I'll cut it for you!" Old Wu Tou responded with a smile, reassuring Zhang Can, and then took the stone that Zhang Can gave him and looked at it, and then asked strangely: "Little brother, according to your eyesight skills, you shouldn't take anything worthless, what's so strange about this stone?" ”

At this time, Lao Wu Tou felt that the stone that Zhang Can took was not so simple, because the hand that Zhang Can had just revealed was too powerful, and if Lao Wu himself, if these things were not his, and he did not bother to get them, then he might not be able to recognize them completely unmistakable, which means that his knowledge is not as good as Zhang Can, but you must understand that he has been dealing with wood and stone all his life, and Zhang Can said that he is an antique appraiser, an antique appraiser, and the best thing should be antiques. It's amazing to be able to learn such a high level of skill in wood!

Therefore, Lao Wu Tou felt that although the stone Zhang Can took looked like an ordinary stone on the outside, it was estimated that there must be some mystery.

Zhang Can thought about it, and felt that if he wanted to hide it at this time, he would definitely not be able to hide it, so he simply admitted it generously, but if he pushed this to his own skills, presumably Old Wu Tou would not think of anything else, but would only admire his skills.

"Hehe, master, this stone looks like an ordinary stone, but I think it's a little different, this stone has skin, especially from the two white textures in the middle, it can be seen that the epidermis is white in the blue, the texture is fine and dense, and this texture is from the outside to the inside, I think there may be jade in this stone!"

"Jade?" Old Wu was stunned, knowing that Zhang Can would not find an ordinary stone to cut for no reason, but he told him that there was jade in it, but he didn't believe it very much, he had been dealing with wood and stone all his life, and now he was old, and he was not famous in this area of the capital, but a few decades ago, in the Jiangnan area, he was a famous figure, only because of some sad things to hide in the capital to engrave seals to live, with his vision and technology, he has a deep understanding of jade, especially nephrite in China, The fist-sized stone that Zhang Can gave him in front of him, but no matter what method he used, he couldn't tell that there was jade in it.

Of course, Lao Wu Tou didn't dare to be 100% sure that Zhang Can's stone was really just an ordinary stone.

After looking at it for a long time, Lao Wu Tou looked at the quartz clock on the wall, and immediately said: "I'll cut this stone first, it won't take much time to cut a few knives, the dish I ordered will be delivered, it will take half an hour, it is better to cut it first, hehehe, come on, you come and watch me cut." ”

Zhang Can did not shirk, immediately went over to look, the old Wu Tou here the knife is far from being compared with the jade factory, after all, the old Wu Tou is not a professional jade carver, he is good at and likes the domestic nephrite, especially known as the "king of the stone" Tian Huangshi, if it is the old Wu Tou in the past, the collection of the best Tian Huangshi also has a few sides, but after the incognito to the capital, it can be on the four walls, only a skill remains, but the time is too long, and it is far away to the north, and now few people still recognize the "North and South Eagle King" of the year"The so-called Southern Eagle King Wu Guan!

Old Wu Tou fixed the stone, aimed the small cutter at the drawing line on the stone, and then turned on the power supply on the cutter, and cut it slowly and steadily.

The stone chips on the side of the fist-sized stone spilled out, Zhang Can was not in a hurry, and under the perspective of the eyes, this knife could not destroy the jade inside.
