Chapter 341: Rosewood gall
Han Xing said sneeringly: "Actually, I guessed it at first, since the eldest brother bought it, there must be a reason, among the red sandalwood, only the Venus red sandalwood and the shadow red sandalwood are more valuable."
However, the scarcity of red sandalwood with these two characteristics, especially the gall, which is formed very accidentally, and the area formed in red sandalwood is smaller, which is rarer than that of red sandalwood with the characteristics of Venus.
But since the wood texture of this general's jar is different from that of ordinary small-leaved red sandalwood, and the eldest brother is so optimistic, I guess that this is probably the shadow red sandalwood. ”
Han Peacock took the Purple Sandalwood Gall General Jar and said: "You see, the wood of this General Jar has a fine texture and a show-off texture, this is the external manifestation of the gall."
Gall is a common name, which should be called "gall", the simplest explanation of this word is tree nodules, and it is also a disease of wood, but the manifestations are different, such as "water ripples" or "watercress red sandalwood", which are all manifestations of gall.
Many people are accustomed to referring to the nodules of various types of wood as galls, but if this characteristic appears in red sandalwood, we should accurately call it red sandalwood gall.
Compared with other woods, red sandalwood rarely appears tree nodules, and usually only appears in the epidermis, so the availability of real gall wood is very low.
Scarcity is destined to the preciousness of red sandalwood gall wood, red sandalwood handicrafts or hand beads with gall characteristics, its value is much greater than "Venus", so many people think that red sandalwood with this characteristic is the best in red sandalwood. ”
"You mean it's a general's jar made out of tree lumps? How big is this lump? Plush said a little surprised.
And catkins were also curious, she had heard of it for the first time. Tree lumps, also known as tree nodules, can make such beautiful large pots.
"If this general's jar is brought back to China, how much will it be able to sell for?" Liu Wu asked curiously.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "This is not something that can be measured by money, the handicrafts or hand beads made of red sandalwood gall wood, the current market price is very irregular, most of them are sky-high asking prices, but this kind of behavior really works."
Because merchants know that this is a thing that is difficult to find once sold, people who buy red sandalwood gall wood also have such a consumer psychology, which makes the transaction price of red sandalwood gall wood repeatedly amazing. ”
"Han Xing, look carefully. Over here. There is also this part, we usually call this kind of dot-like distribution of very dense parts, "full flower", I have never seen this level of red sandalwood gall wood.
So this kind of gall wood is simply priceless. Venus is best at density and fineness, but tiny Venus has requirements for the density of rosewood. The density of red sandalwood is the best in galls.
So. When these two characteristics are combined, it will inevitably make people who like red sandalwood a little excited, which is the best red sandalwood that many people dream of.
When the red sandalwood has both Venus and gall characteristics, it will reach the top of the red sandalwood texture, compared with this, those so-called chicken blood, rhino horn, cow hair patterns and other characteristics of the red sandalwood, all become floating clouds, of course, if you don't like it, this is also a floating cloud. ”
Han Xing looked at this general jar. His expression was a little sluggish: "Big brother, do you mean this is Venus Manhua?" It turns out that I have only heard of it, but I have not seen it once, and it is a miracle that Venus can still appear on the gall red sandalwood. ”
"Ha Luha, this Three Kingdoms is really a good place, just came here, I have this kind of harvest, it seems that this trip will definitely go well." Han Peacock smiled and watched Liu Fu stroking this general jar.
Even the nodules of ordinary trees are extremely hard, not to mention the small-leaved red sandalwood, which is already known for its high density.
Moreover, such a large nodule can only grow on a larger small-leaved rosewood tree, not to mention that this is still a red sandalwood gall tree, and it is full of flowers with Venus.
The concentration of these characteristics on this general jar has turned this general jar into a unique thing, and such a thing is absolutely unattainable.
Ten sandalwood and nine emptiness, a thousand sandalwood and one tumor, which shows how precious the small-leaved red sandalwood gall is!
"It's still a big brother, even if I remember a lot of things, I can't use them." Han Xing is a little embarrassed.
Han Peacock smiled: "You have done a very good job, but there are some things, you still have to look at them more, even if you can't see the real thing, it's good to look at the pictures or something." ”
Han Xing has a good foundation, plus some books that Han Peacock has asked him to read in recent months, his professional knowledge is not weak, but he still has less experience.
There is no way around it, and if you want to accurately identify something, you have to look at the authenticity of this kind of thing, but this is obviously not easy to do.
Unlike Han Peacock, his memory can allow him to clearly remember the pictures of everything, so even if he has not seen things, he can quickly identify the authenticity of a thing by comparing the pictures he has seen.
This kind of ability is something that ordinary people don't have, but it can be learned gradually.
When I came to the hotel, Han Peacock saw that it was not worse than the hotel in the magic capital, and the service was also very good, and the most important thing was that it was clean.
Han Xing obviously noticed Han Peacock's expression, and he smiled: "As long as you have money in the Three Kingdoms, life is very good, all kinds of luxury goods can be bought, all kinds of enjoyment can be obtained, and the price is not expensive."
Just like this hotel, the best room is only 10,000 rupees per day, which is only 1,000 yuan in RMB, and if you want a standard room, it is only 200 rupees, only 20 yuan. ”
Han Peacock and the others were all surprised, and Han Xing said again: "Brother Mao, your monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, do you know what the salary level of Lu Dao is in the Three Kingdoms?"
In the three countries, the rent of a 100-square-meter house in the downtown area of the ordinary rich is only 60,000 rubles, that is, 6,000 yuan.
Among middle-class families, 21-inch color TVs are large household appliances, and their maximum monthly income is 20,000 rupees, such a salary level belongs to a middle-class family, as long as they have such an income, they can actually join the ranks of the rich.
And the average person's monthly income is only about 8,000 rupees, that is, only 800 yuan, haluha, can you imagine how cheap the labor of the three kingdoms is? ”
Liu Wu said: "Isn't this the same as we did more than ten years ago? ”
"Yes, so the three countries are one of the countries with the fastest economic growth in the world, and their labor is cheap is also a major reason, just like us in the eighties and nineties, because of the cheap labor, it has become a factory in the world." Han Xing said.
Plush touched his head and said, "When we come here, we all have a sense of superiority!" ”
"Yes! If you listen to the governments of the three countries, they will be as powerful as they want, but when they really come, they will realize that they are a slum. ”
Han Peacock said: "The social structure of the Three Kingdoms is 'gourd type', this 'gourd' has three layers, completely separated from each other, does not cross each other, there is no intermediate transition layer, maybe someone will enter the upper class from the bottom society, but he will immediately cut off the connection with the original class." ”
Han Xing said: "Yes, this is the case of Ah Sanguo, even more serious than you think, they are at the top of the number of people, only millions of social elites, most of them have a good higher education, have decent jobs and stable income, live a very luxurious life, and are vested interests in this social system."
The second layer is the middle class, with a number of about 200 million, and having a job and housing in large and medium-sized cities is the most obvious sign of it, and at the bottom is the 800 million poor class, who live in rural and urban slums, worrying about their livelihood every day, and the poor class live on rotten vegetable leaves collected in the market for three meals a day, which can be said to be very miserable. ”
"Are they really that lazy? In today's society, as long as you do some work, how can you have enough food and clothing? "Mao is also a good young man who has received domestic education, and naturally he congenitally believes that people in the three kingdoms are lazy.
Han Xing said: "You think they don't want to work? They don't have to do it, in the countryside, the big landlords don't let them farm, so they all go to the city to live, and there are not so many jobs in the city, so they can only beg for a living, otherwise they will be so miserable? ”
The plush and others are all speechless, such a strange social system, such a wonderful country, what can they say?
72.22% of the people in the three countries live in more than 550,000 villages, and the rest live in more than 2,000 towns and cities.
Gupal belongs to the so-called lower caste class of Indian society, he can understand English easily, and with the help of Rajava, he becomes one of the guides of Han Xing.
Gupal is not from Mysore, he comes from a small village 400 kilometers away, but fortunately there is no household registration system in the three countries, so he can run around as he pleases.
In Mysore, he used to work for an airline booking office, serving tea, pouring water and cleaning, and earning 2,000 rupees, or 200 yuan, a month.
Gupal lived in a servant's room on the top floor near the company, the whole house was about 5 square metres, the rent was 500 rupees, and there was nothing in it except for a bed.
Since the house is on the top floor, the temperature of up to 45 degrees Celsius in summer makes it like a steamer inside, and it is impossible to sleep at all.
A chabadi (similar to a coarse baked dough) dipped in curry sauce is what Gupal usually eats.
This simple meal costs less than 5 rupees per meal, so even if he saves more, he will only have more than 1,000 rupees left every month.
But even this is the money that Gupal needs to bring home to support his wife and four children, who are far away.
Even so, he plans to save some money to rebuild the house in two years.
In this environment, living this kind of life, Gupal was not dissatisfied with his current situation, he said more than once: "There are many people who are not as good as me!" (To be continued......)
