The caravan soon arrived at the place of delivery, and the owner of the caravan, who was ready to receive the goods, and his men had been waiting for a long time.

"Boss Xu, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Long Yuan, as the leader of this running business, naturally had to stand up and contact the other party.

Boss Xu was a lean middle-aged man, looking at his figure, Long Yuan was really worried that the wind in Beisha would blow him away.

"You are?"

Boss Xu looked up and down, and was very surprised to see the young Long Yuan.

"Hehe, I'm the housekeeper of He Mansion, my name is Long Yuan, and I'm in charge of running the business this time. Long Yuan said with a smile, he was already familiar with this situation.

"The goods you want are in these boxes, please take a look. ”

Seeing that Boss Xu nodded and didn't ask more, Long Yuan didn't mean to take the initiative to greet him, so he turned sideways and let go of the carriage and said to Boss Xu.

Signaling to open all the boxes, a unique smell of wood permeated, and the number of goods began to be counted in the presence of both parties.

This time, the commercial goods shipped to Liting City were a kind of wood called Fengsha Mu, which was taken from the roots of Fengsha Pine and was one of the specialties of Beisha City.

Pinus aeoliolia is a coniferous species, which mostly grows in hot and dry places, and the Gobi on the edge of the sandbar is suitable for their growth. The aeolian pine is not only hard, but also the roots are huge, often a three-meter-high aeolian pine, but the roots can be as deep as seven to ten meters, and the extended root system can cover a radius of more than ten meters.

Because of the strong plasticity, the roots of the wind sand pine have always been the first choice of wood carving craftsmen, and many large families in the Dongling Continent will choose the wood carving of wind sand wood to fill the façade.

However, although the wind sand wood is good, it has a fatal flaw, that is, it is afraid of moisture, especially in humid and rainy areas, which is easy to mold and rot. It is precisely for this reason that Long Yuan and the others need to transport the wind sand wood here.

After the completion of the new wood carving transported from Beisha City, it needs to be soaked in the broken leaf water flowing down from the Zheluo Manshan Mountains, so that the cold air in the broken leaf water completely soaks the surface of the wood carving, so that the wood carving can resist the erosion of moisture, as if it is coated with a protective film for the wood carving.

"There are 40 trees in 10 years, 25 trees in 30 years, 5 trees in 40 years, and 1 wood in 50 years, a total of 71 trees, and there is no problem with the number. After the inventory of the goods was completed, Boss Xu took the list and compared them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction to Long Yuan.

"Since there is no problem, let's deliver!" Long Yuan said.

"Good. Boss Xu took out a new list of goods from his arms and handed it to Long Yuan, "Ten years of wood Fushou pine five pairs, twenty years of wood Qingluan mountain wood carving ten ......"

As the names were pronounced one by one, Boss Xu's subordinates carefully took out the delicate wood carvings from the boxes behind him and sent them to Longyuan's cargo boxes.

Each wood carving dragon yuan would use his divine sense to probe it, and only after confirming that it was correct did he nod his head and agree to load it into the crate.

"Sixty years of wood frost white longevity turtle wood carving. ”

This time, it was Boss Xu who took matters into his own hands, holding a brocade box in both hands and cautiously walking towards Long Yuan.

Coming to Long Yuan, he slowly opened the brocade box, and a palm-sized turtle with a white body came into Long Yuan's eyes.

The wood carving is lifelike, and the diamond-shaped lines on the tortoise shell are clear, which shows that the carving person has extraordinary craftsmanship and is a master's handiwork.

Long Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and a woody fragrance with a strong cool feeling slid down his nose and into his body, Long Yuan couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression.

Looking at Long Yuan's expression, Boss Xu showed a smug smile and said: "This frost-white longevity turtle wood carving is taken from the sixty-year-old wind sand wood wood heart, and then it took a year to complete by Master Qi Xingzhou Qi, it is the best of the wind sand wood carvings, it is no exaggeration to say that the value of those wood carvings before is not as good as this frost white longevity turtle." ”

Before leaving, He Xiuzhu instructed Long Yuan that this frost-white longevity turtle was the top priority of this businessman.

Long Yuan didn't dare to be careless about this, and still released his divine sense to carefully investigate the frost-white longevity turtle in the brocade box.

"Wait!"

Just as Boss Xu was about to cover the brocade box, Long Yuan suddenly shouted.

"What's the problem?" Boss Xu's face showed displeasure.

Long Yuan's frowning eyebrows twisted into a dead knot, and his eyes stared at the frost-white longevity turtle in the brocade box and said, "This wood carving is flawed. ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Boss Xu's face suddenly darkened.

"Boss Xu, don't be angry. Long Yuan pressed his hand and asked Boss Xu not to be angry first, "The wind and sand wood carving is divided into three grades, the frost is good when it enters the shallow layer, the white frost ice hand is preferred, and the white beads in the heart are fine." ”

Long Yuan had some understanding of the wind and sand wood carving before setting off, and the focus was on the distinction of the wood carving grades, which were characterized by the three sentences he had just said.

For example, the wood carving only condenses a layer of hoarfrost on the surface, and the cold does not go deep, it is classified as a good product; and if the cold is soaked into the wind and sand wood, the touch is like an ice cube, it will be classified as a good product; above this is the boutique, the wind and sand wood carving will condense a cold bead in it after absorbing enough cold air, which is the so-called white bead, it will continuously release cold air to nourish the wood carving, so that it can be preserved for a long time.

The prerequisite for growing white beads is to carve them with the heart of the tree's roots, because only the roots and hearts of the tree can absorb enough cold to produce the white beads.

"I know this without you saying it. Boss Xu was angry.

"If I'm not mistaken, this frost-white longevity turtle should be classified as a fine product, but why aren't there any white beads in it?" asked Long Yuan, pointing to the wood carving.

Boss Xu looked down at the wood carving in his hand, his face was a little ugly, "What evidence do you have to prove that there are no white beads in it." ”

Boss Xu looked down at Long Yuan, and Long Yuan did not show weakness, and also replied to Boss Xu with his eyes.

Seeing the two of them fighting each other, the guards of the caravan and Boss Xu's subordinates also became nervous, especially Boss Xu's subordinates, under the pressure of the fierce momentum exuded by Lao Zhang and others, their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out.

Seeing that Long Yuan didn't move for a long time, Boss Xu sneered in his heart: Sure enough, it was a hairy boy who had not dried up, and it scared him so easily.

Because it is difficult to see whether there are white beads in the wood carving from the appearance, even if those woodcarving masters who have been immersed for many years judge by experience, the success rate is less than forty percent.

Long Yuan didn't have such experience, so naturally he couldn't come up with the so-called evidence, but under the investigation of his divine sense, there was indeed no white bead in the frost-white longevity turtle.

"Then dare to ask Boss Xu, what if I come up with evidence?"

Long Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Boss Xu was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Long Yuan to treat him like this, but Lao Zhang, who had a certain understanding of Long Yuan's character, knew that Long Yuan would not be untargeted, and looked at Boss Xu with some sympathy, and said in his heart: This guy is going to be unlucky.

"If you come up with evidence, this hoarfrost longevity turtle white will give you, and I will give you another one of the same fine wood carvings. ”

Boss Xu said ruthlessly in his heart, looking at this posture, he made up his mind that Long Yuan would not be able to produce evidence.

"Then what if you can't produce evidence?" As a businessman, Boss Xu naturally won't let himself suffer.

Long Yuan said without hesitation: "If I can't come up with evidence, I will buy all the wood carvings in this order at the price." ”

"Okay! Boss Xu estimated the bets of the two sides, and said after finding that the price was about the same.
