Everyone followed Ye Junwei to the next room, and the first thing that caught their eyes was an old table of eight immortals, as well as four benches, which were combined to be exactly one.

Wen Haoyang stepped forward and looked at these tables and stools, and then asked a little strangely, "What kind of wood are these furniture made of?" I don't think I've seen it before. ”

Ye Junwei spread his hands and said: "This table and bench of eight immortals were given to me by my father-in-law a few years ago. ”

"Hazelnut." Chu Chen reminded.

"Yes, it's hazelwood furniture." Ye Junwei suddenly realized, and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up with a smile: "In the end, he is an expert, well-informed." ”

Chu Chen smiled modestly, and Wen Haoyang asked, "Teacher Chu, what kind of wood is this hazelnut?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "To put it simply, the oak hazel wood is actually the mulberry plant. ”

"Zhemu?" Ye Junwei was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "Zhemu seems to be available in many provinces of our country, so how did it become the local furniture of Zilang in Su Province?" ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Zhemu is indeed produced in many places in our country, but not all Zhemu is called Quercus hazelwood, only the Zhemu produced in the alluvial plain of the Yangtze River, due to the relationship between water and soil, the quality is superior and outstanding, and it is called Quercus hazelwood." ”

"I see." Wen Haoyang nodded clearly: "Teacher Chu, what about the texture of this wood?" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "This kind of wood has the reputation of 'Chinese red sandalwood', do you say it's good?" Moreover, the hazel is the same as the red sandalwood, ten oaks and nine empty, ten oaks and nine bends, the trunk is uneven, and there are many grooves. Cutting materials need to repeatedly figure out how to cut materials, even if the raw materials are not empty, the utilization rate after making is about 25 catties per 100 catties. You can imagine. How much wood does Mr. Ye need for this set of furniture? ”

"That's right." Ye Junwei's expression was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "Teacher Chu." Since oak hazelwood can be compared to red sandalwood, its value in the market should not be low, right? ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "On the contrary, the price of hazelwood furniture is not comparable to that of rosewood furniture. ”

"Why is that?" Ye Junwei was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Chu Chen analyzed: "It's very simple, first of all, although the hazelnut wood is comparable to the red sandalwood, it has not been elected to the palace after all, and it is not as good as the red sandalwood in terms of status." Another one. It's the popularity, you go to the market and ask, how many people know about oak hazel? But Rosewood, needless to say, you should know that it is almost a household name. ”

"Therefore, although the oak hazel wood is now very rare, because many people do not know much about this precious wood, and it does not have a relatively noble identity, it is natural to have such a market value as it is now."

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Ye Junwei looked very regretful, but he also reacted quickly. Hurriedly said: "Teacher Chu, since this kind of wood is so rare, does it have a lot of room for growth?" ”

Chu Chen nodded: "That's theoretical." Specifically, it depends on the acceptance of oak hazelwood furniture in the market. ”

After Chu Chen's affirmation, Ye Junwei seemed very happy, but after a while, he hesitated again and said, "Teacher Chu, how much is this set of furniture worth?" For the sake of my son's tuition, if it is appropriate, I can only endure the pain of parting love. ”

Chu Chen looked at Wen Haoyang. said, "Wait a minute, let's discuss." ”

"No problem......"

Chu Chen and Wen Haoyang came to the side. Asked, "Haoyang, are you interested in this set of furniture?" ”

"I do have some interest. But ......"

Chu Chen waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Since you like it, then it's okay, I'll give you a market reference price, eight thousand yuan, as for the specific amount, you should talk about it." ”

"I'm a little embarrassed." Wen Haoyang scratched his head and laughed a few times.

Chu Chen waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, it's not too early, we have other things to see." ”

Wen Haoyang heard the word time, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he walked up to Ye Junwei with a smile: "Uncle Ye, we discussed it just now, what do you think of this set of tables of six thousand?" ”

"Only six thousand?" Ye Junwei looked at Chu Chen with some surprise, obviously dissatisfied with the price.

Chu Chen smiled slightly, although the market reference price is eight thousand, but six thousand is already good, after all, the market for hazelnut furniture is like this, if you go to an antique shop to sell it for so much money, only those who like it will spend eight thousand yuan to buy.

"No, this price is too low, I might as well collect it myself and wait for the appreciation." Ye Junwei shook his head.

"Uncle Ye, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's discuss it again......"

I don't know if Wen Haoyang really likes this set of furniture, or because of what, he just took Ye Junwei to grind hard bubbles and wanted to take down this set of furniture, but he was reluctant to give it too high, and the highest was not even eight thousand. Of course, Ye Junwei would not agree to such a price, so the situation was deadlocked for a while.

"This guy can't be trying to stall, is he?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly sneered, with Wen Haoyang's expression, he couldn't help but think so. So, he gave Zuo Shan a look and asked Zuo Shan to pass on the situation. Zuo Shan nodded slightly and went out.

"Mr. Ye, can I appreciate the contents of these boxes?" Chu Chen asked.

"These are the things I'm going to transfer, you can ...... look"

With Ye Junwei's instructions, Chu Chen opened the box and observed them one by one.

To say, Ye Junwei's collection can be regarded as a fine product, such as the Ming Dynasty Longquan kiln melon ridge lotus leaf lid jar, the Qing Dynasty Qianlong pastel celestial ball bottle, the Qing Jiaqing bamboo carving "Night Tour Chibi" pen holder, etc., a total of five pieces of Eastern artifacts have a remarkable place, the overall value of nearly 300,000 yuan.

With such a high price, Chu Chen felt that with Wen Haoyang's watch, it was estimated that he could buy one, could it be that the other utensils were left over to him?

When Chu Chen finished identifying everything one by one, the negotiation between Wen Haoyang and Ye Junwei also ended in failure, Wen Haoyang was a little frustrated at this time, but Ye Junwei's face was not very good-looking, the reason is very simple, anyone who has been entangled in such chatter for nearly twenty minutes will not be in a good mood.

"Teacher Chu, have you seen all these things?" Wen Haoyang asked in some surprise.

Before Chu Chen could speak, Ye Junwei said angrily: "You don't look at how long it has been since this happened, just with Teacher Chu's eyesight, can you not finish it?" ”

Wen Haoyang hurriedly looked at the time, apologized to everyone again and again, and then said hello to the two, and picked up the things to read.

Wen Haoyang's expression made Chu Chen even more convinced that Wen Haoyang was trying to delay time.

Anyway, being idle is also idle, so Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Ye, do you have anything else?" ”

Ye Junwei said with a smile: "I still have a set of "Xuanxuan Chess Sutra" here, although the book is complete, but the quality may not be in your eyes. ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not necessarily, maybe it is exactly what I want?" ”

"Okay, I'll show you......"

Then, Ye Junwei took Chu Chen to a bookcase not far away, he opened the bookcase with a key, and saw that there were nearly 100 thread-bound books inside.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you have a lot of ancient books in your collection. ”

Ye Junwei replied: "Most of them are ancient books and some manuscripts from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, all of which are worthless things, and the best one is this set of "Xuanxuan Chess Sutra......"

As he spoke, he carefully took a few ancient books to Chu Chen.

"Xuan Xuan Chess Sutra" was originally known as "Xuan Xuan Collection", the word "Xuan Xuan" comes from "Lao Tzu" "Xuan Zhi Xuan and Xuan, the door of all wonders", which is a metaphor for the number of chess "haunted and changed, unfathomable". Because the book contains "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", it is also called "Xuanxuan Book of Chess".

The book is divided into six volumes, each according to the ancient six arts of "ritual, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, and mathematics". The gift scroll contains articles on the theory of Go, and the literature value is extremely high. The two volumes of music and shooting are mainly based on the corners of the ancient method. The most essential part of the whole spectrum is in the three volumes of the Emperor, the Book and the Count, and the content is the 387 type of the masterpiece of the ancient chess master in the endgame, death and life, etc., which is exquisite and rigorous, mysterious and wonderful, and can be called the masterpiece of Go in the Yuan Dynasty.

After identification, this is indeed the original version of the "Xuanxuan Chess Sutra", but what makes Chu Chen feel a pity is that the preservation of this set of ancient books is really worrying, although the page numbers are complete, but there are a lot of insect bite marks, and there are some mildew spots, and the quality is indeed as poor as Ye Junwei said.

Seeing Chu Chen frowning, Ye Junwei smiled bitterly: "Actually, this set of "Xuanxuan Chess Sutra" was handed down by my ancestors, but I didn't know its preciousness at the beginning, and it was placed a little randomly, and then it was accidentally drenched in water by my son, and it turned out to be like this. ”

In the end, Ye Junwei sighed distressedly, if it was the original condition, he believed that even if there were no 30,000, 20,000 would still be sold, but now, let alone 20,000, 5,000 is enough.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Mr. Ye, I don't know how much money do you want for this set of ancient books?" ”

Ye Junwei was very surprised when he saw that Chu Chen had the idea of buying: "You are ......?"

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "If you put it here like this, the quality of this set of ancient books will definitely get worse and worse, so I want to buy it back and ask the master to repeat it." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Ye Junwei hurriedly said: "Since Teacher Chu, you said so, I will ask for 3,000 for this set of "Xuanxuan Chess Sutra". ”

"Can ......"

Chu Chen nodded, and casually took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Ye Junwei.

Next, seeing that Wen Haoyang was still pretending to look at the artifacts in his hand, Chu Chen continued to look at the ancient manuscripts in front of him.

"Huh? ......" (To be continued) R466
