Jian Jiashan had the loudest voice, and took the lead in saying: "Mom, in my opinion, the two paintings are the most valuable, you see, how well the eight horses on the painting are drawn, the whole body is strong and lifelike, Mom, what do you say?" “

The old lady smiled, did not answer his words, and asked Jian Jiabao and Jian Jiacheng again: "The second, third, and daughters-in-law of your respective families, you all pick them well!" ”

The three daughters-in-law picked three jade ornaments on the desk, and Jian Jiabao and Jian Jiacheng picked two calligraphy and paintings.

The old lady asked Jian Ai again: "Girl, what do you like?" ”

Jian Ai bit her little finger lightly, as if she was making up her mind, she pointed to the purple clay pot on the coffee table and said, "That, purple clay pot!" ”

After Jian Ai finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Zuo Tang, but saw him frown slightly.

Jane Ai thought to herself, wrong? It's not a purple clay pot, but it's obviously only this thing over there, if you say it wrong, then what is it?

The old lady smiled even more, looked at Zuo Tang and asked, "Xiao Zuo, tell me, what do you say is the most valuable in my living room?" ”

Zuo Tang turned his head and pointed to the tea set in the corner of the wall, and said with a smile: "Old man, there are many valuable things in your living room, but the most valuable thing is the wooden plate on the coffee table." ”

Except for the old lady, everyone else was stunned, and the three brothers of Jian Jiashan and their daughters-in-law didn't expect that Zuo Tang actually said that such a tea set plate for drinking tea was the most valuable.

Just now, when Jian Ai said that the purple clay pot was the most valuable, they were a little bottomless in their hearts.

At the beginning, they didn't think about it, antiques, it must be that the more precious the East Plateau, the tighter it is.

The purple clay pot tea set, after the old man passed away, it was rarely used, and no one touched it in the corner, and the old lady occasionally sat to make a pot of tea, they all thought they were missing their wives, so they didn't care.

But what is that wooden plate worth?

Everyone has doubts in their hearts.

But which one is the most valuable, what Zuo Tang said doesn't count, it doesn't count until the old lady says it, so everyone looks at the old lady again.

At this time, Jian Yong, the son of Jian Jiacheng, bought a box of tools and came back.

Now is the critical moment for the old lady to uncover the mystery, so Jian Jiacheng just put the tool box on the coffee table quietly, and did not let Zuo Tang open the watch immediately.

The old lady's face was as usual, except for Zuo Tang, everyone else's hearts were raised, and they were eager to know if they were selected.

Jian Ai naturally didn't know if she had chosen the right one, but in her heart, she still believed in Zuo Tang.

After all, Zuo Tang's performance in the jewelry store surprised her, although she didn't understand, she also knew that that kind of technology and eyesight were far from being achieved by ordinary people.

"Well, since you've all picked it out, I won't say much about it, I just want to hear Xiao Zuo's opinion."

The old lady said as she tilted her head towards Zuo Tang with a smile, she wanted to hear Zuo Tang's reason for picking the wooden plate.

Zuo Tang spread his hands and praised the old lady: "Old man, the antiques in the living room are all genuine, none of them are fakes, especially the sandalwood plate, which is a good thing in a million." ”

Everyone had heard Zuo Tang say just now that the wooden tea tray was the most valuable, but except for the old lady, no one else understood what the wooden tray was worthy.

At this time, I heard Zuo Tang say that it was "sandalwood", it seems that I have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember, what is this sandalwood, just such a wooden plate, even if it is valuable, where can it be worth?

Zuo Tang had already used super vision to sweep through the living room, and everything was imprinted in his mind at the moment.

While thinking about it, he said: "Among the six calligraphy and paintings, the horse picture is the most valuable, about 30,000 yuan, but these six paintings are not ancient paintings, nor are they from the hands of famous artists, and the price of the other five paintings is about 3000~6000." ”

"The three jade ornaments picked by the three aunts, the most valuable should be the rooster carved from bloodstone, the color on the jade is cleverly matched, and the carving skills are excellent, but the bloodstone itself is not very good, so the price will be discounted, and it should be worth 50,000."

When Zuo Tang said this, he turned around and pointed to the mahogany chair and said: "Let's talk about it here, those two mahogany chairs are real rosewood, some years old, but they are not the most expensive kind, they can be worth thirty-five thousand." ”

The root of the tree carved coffee table, the surface carved is a reclining Buddha, a pair of hands just hold the tea tray tea set, vivid, the skill is very good, the root is also the old yellow wood, there are five or six years of the year, I want to see, can be worth 40,000. ”

The three couples of the Jian family never imagined that these things in the living room looked inconspicuous, and they almost gradually exceeded 10,000.

They always thought that the old lady hid all the antiques in the bedroom, because the bedroom did have two locked big boxes, but they didn't expect that the valuable toys were all in the living room and never touched.

Zuo Tang ignored their surprise, pointed to the purple sand pot and said: "Let me talk about this again, a pot with six purple sand cups, this set of things, at least the official kiln before the end of the Qing Dynasty, has the mark and seal of the official kiln on the bottom, this is not difficult to recognize......

"Brother Zuo, are these things true in my family? Worth so much money, huh? ”

The most curious was Jian Yong, who asked with a surprised face.

In fact, he thought to himself that if he could exchange one piece for money, he would be able to spend months with his friends.

Zuo Tang smiled and continued to explain: "This wooden plate is a real boutique, everyone must know that the mahogany furniture is high-end, this wooden plate is also mahogany, and it is the most precious rosewood." ”

"The preciousness of rosewood is mainly due to the fact that it has been made for thousands of years, and there are few straight trunks, with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, which is already considered the limit. Generally speaking, red sandalwood can be made into very small objects, and the most is some Buddhist beads, pendants and so on. ”

"And you look at this plate, the texture is twisted purple and black, although it is wooden, the weight is like iron casting, and what is even more rare is that the body shape of this wooden plate, about forty centimeters long, and more than thirty centimeters wide, is an extremely rare large piece among the red sandalwood, and the price, I really can't say......

The old lady's eyes were full of light, and she stared at Zuo Tang with great appreciation, while several of Jian Ai's uncles and aunts were stunned, stunned for a long time, speechless.

Instead, Jian Yong stretched out his head and asked, "Then how much is this plate worth?" It's worth at least a hundred thousand, right? ”

He listened to it for a long time, and those words and drawings were worth tens of thousands of yuan, which made him itch, and he heard that this wooden plate was more expensive, and he was more curious.

Zuo Tang groaned, he really didn't know much about the value of this rosewood, he had heard Qian Cheng mention it before, if you want to talk about the value, the rosewood is more valuable than the golden silk nanmu.

After pondering for a moment, Zuo Tang said: "I can't say the specific price, but I can mention that the red sandalwood is ten sandalwood and nine empty, the larger the size, the more valuable it is, and the Hong Kong market once auctioned a twenty-centimeter red sandalwood lion statue, and the transaction price was 10.6 million." ”

"Although the carving of this plate is not as good as that of the red sandalwood lion statue, the size of the vessel is unique, and I think the price of the two should be about the same!"

"More than 10 million? Oh my God......"

Everyone in the living room exclaimed.

Jian Jiashan and the other three couples, their faces changed, although they are all rich, they will never take more than 10 million yuan.

Besides, this wooden plate, they never took it seriously since they came, but they didn't expect it to be a treasure worth tens of millions!

But whether it is as Zuo Tang said, it depends on the old lady to speak, she should know the value of the rosewood plate.

The old lady smiled slowly and looked at the rosewood plate in a daze.

Seeing that the old mother didn't speak, the Jian Jiashan brothers were also anxious, and the three daughters-in-law also surrounded them and asked in a gossipy voice: "Mom, is that wooden plate real or fake, is it really worth so much money?" ”

The old lady was so absorbed in her own memories as if she hadn't heard it.

Jian Ai and Jian Yong stepped forward, one on each side, and put their arms around the old lady and shook them gently before shaking her awake.

The old lady let out an "oh", looked at Zuo Tang and remembered the situation just now, nodded and asked, "Young man, then you said that this wooden plate is made of rosewood, then do you have any way to prove it?" ”

As soon as the old lady asked, the family's eyes were tightly locked on Zuo Tang, and they all wanted to see what method he wanted to use to prove it.

Or maybe there is no way at all, he is simply talking nonsense, this wooden plate is not rosewood at all.

Zuo Tang looked left and right, and then said to Jian Yong: "Little brother, help me get a basin of water, I want a big basin, and I need more water!" ”

The young man is simple-minded and impulsive, and at this time he was shocked by Zuo Tang's superb skills and obeyed his words.

"Okay, okay, I'll fetch water right away!" Jian Yong didn't say a word, jumped up and ran straight into the kitchen, and after a while, he brought a big basin of water.

However, he looked very struggling, and splashed a lot of it around and around, and after putting it down in the living room, he hurried to the kitchen to find a small basin and bring water, and came to fill it up.

Zuo Tang smiled: "Enough is enough, enough of this water!" ”

The family didn't know that Zuo Tang wanted such a big pot of water, what he was doing here, and they all stared at him tightly.

"Everyone should know that wood doesn't sink whether it's wet or dry, right?"

Zuo Tang took the wooden plate, and while speaking, he put it in the water basin, and then said: "This rosewood has a fine structure, it is the most peculiar structure in the wood, and it is the only wood with a density greater than water, so put it in the water, as long as it is rosewood, it will sink into the water, which is one of the most standard ways to test the authenticity of rosewood!" ”

Jian Ai suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out that you want to test this wooden plate, will it sink into the water?" ”

Zuo Tang nodded slightly and let go of his hand.

The water in the basin was about 30 centimeters deep, and the wooden plate was only half a centimeter thick, and the edges of the four sides were about two centimeters, which was more than enough to submerge the wooden plate.

In the eyes of the people, the wooden plate falls on the water, and generally speaking, the shape of this wooden plate, like a ship, even if it is iron, does not sink all at once.

But the wooden plate only shook on the surface of the basin, and then it deflected, and then plunged into the basin at one end, barely staying, like a stone, sinking directly to the bottom of the water, motionless at the bottom of the basin.

"Sunk! Sunk! It's really sinking! ”

Jian Yong shouted excitedly, looked up at Zuo Tang, and his eyes were full of admiration.

Jian Ai bit her lip next to her to hold back a smile, and brought Zuo Tang to her, which really gave her a long face.

At this time, the old lady smiled and said repeatedly: "Amazing, amazing! Young man, my old man had the best of this when he was alive, and if he was still here, he would definitely like you! ”

"The old man's wooden plate has been placed for many years, and no one has recognized it, and there are a few master-level people among them, how much is it worth, the old man has never told me, just said that this is the most valuable treasure in his hand, it is rosewood!"

Seeing that the old lady said this, the family began to whisper to each other, and looked at Zuo Tang a little differently.

The old lady beckoned to Zuo Tang and said, "Young man, come and come, come and sit down, sit down, the person who came is a guest, I was rude just now, don't blame me for being an old woman, right?" ”

"It's no wonder, it's not weird, it's you who let me see so many antique collections, and I still feel like you're old!"

Zuo Tang had the best collection in his previous life, and of course he had a glimpse of the treasures, and he was definitely excited to see the rare objects.

Just like seeing a beautiful woman, everyone wants to see it and likes to see it, but few people will think that they will get it!

Jian Jiacheng sat on the edge of the sofa and looked at Zuo Tang, who was sitting opposite, still so calm, it seemed that the sky had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly I had no bottom in my heart, thinking that this Zuo Tang was afraid that he had real skills, and if his watch was true or fake, this would be dismantled at home, but I was afraid that I would not be able to catch the pigtails of the store, and I would have to lose more than 100,000 yuan in vain.

Zuo Tang saw Jian Jiacheng hesitate, and he didn't rush him.
