Dongcang is a warehouse.

It was built on the east side of the city, so it was called Dongcang.

The antique collection in Dongcang is slightly different from the one in the market.

Because this is a long time ago, the antique stall owners who set up the stalls formed spontaneously, and they will gather on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar every month.

In other words, there are only two antiques in Dongcang a month.

Lin Cheng finished eating breakfast and rode a shared bicycle to Dongcang.

When I was about to get to the entrance of the alley into Dongcang, I got out of the car.

He had already seen the bustling crowd at the mouth of the alley.

It seems that today's big set is very lively.

After parking the car, Lin Cheng walked into the alley.

There are stalls from the mouth of the alley.

Lin Cheng glanced at it, this section is all a literary stall.

Every stall owner's stall has bodhi, red sandalwood bracelets and other gadgets.

There are also those that specialize in selling southern red, beeswax and so on.

After taking a closer look, Lin Cheng found that most of these stall owners were quite unconscionable.

Most of the things sold are shoddy gadgets.

As for amber beeswax, it is a pile of fakes.

It seems that counterfeiting is not only rampant in the antique circle, but also in the cultural entertainment circle.

I originally wanted to pick a suitable object in these cultural stalls as a gift for Wang Ruyan.

But when you look at it, there's nothing that catches your eye.

You can't take a bunch of bodhi seeds and say it's for you.

In case Wang Ruyan misunderstands Bodhi Zi as wanting her to become a monk and recite Buddhism, this misunderstanding will be a big problem.

As we continued to walk down the alley, there was a stall with a lot of timber at the junction of the cultural and antique stalls.

There are small-leaved red sandalwood, more yellow, sea yellow, agarwood and so on.

There are many kinds of wood, and they are all valuable varieties of wood.

Some of the wood has been cut into strips, and it only needs to be processed with a lathe to make beads.

There are also original whole pieces of raw materials.

There is even a gambling material of Huanghuali.

To say that in the wood, the most gambling is Huanghuali.

Relying on the cut fracture, to bet on whether there is yellow pear material inside.

Because during the growth of Huanghuali, the outer circle is white, and only the center circle is brownish-yellow wood.

The white bark of the outer ring is worthless, it only needs to be peeled off, and the expensive thing is the brownish-yellow wood in the middle.

And how many useful parts of a piece of wood are difficult to predict.

Because of its strong gambling nature, many people have also engaged in the activity of gambling on Huanghuali material.

It's like a gambling stone.

It's just not as well-known as Gambling Stone.

Basically, it is limited to the circle of cultural and entertainment lovers.

At this moment, there were several people, squatting in front of the stall to choose.

Lin Cheng also walked over and looked carefully in front of the stall.

These yellow pear logs vary in length and thickness, and each log has a cut at both ends.

You can see the state of the wood from the cutout.

Some of the incisions have a large yellow-brown core, while others are only a little smaller.

Generally speaking, ordinary people think that the area of the yellow-brown wood core at the incision is large, and the more useful material is produced.

However, this perception is not correct, so there are many people who overturn.

And this kind of huanghuali log is the same as the jadeite rough, and experienced people have picked a few stubbles.

What can fall into the hands of the stall owner is basically the rough stone and logs that are not very good.

Among the few people who looked at the Huanghuali logs, some people had already selected them.

After paying, ask the stall owner to help open the wood.

Everyone else was watching the stall owner's movements.

As the stall owner carefully cut through the wood with a knife, a layer of white wood was revealed.

This white wood is white bark, and it is a useless part.

The stall owner continued, and the white skin was cut off layer by layer, revealing a very slender brownish-yellow wooden core.

This brownish yellow part is the well-known expensive wood, Huanghuali.

"Alas! Why is Huanghuali so little, and this time it is a loss. ”

"It's so fine, it seems that you can only make a few toothpicks, and you can't even make a small bracelet."

"It's better than nothing, the huanghuali log I opened a few days ago is full of white skin, it's just evil."

Those who bought logs and those who watched the excitement all talked about it.

They don't have a lot of experience in betting on Huanghuali, and they don't even know how to choose.

After Lin Cheng finished reading it, he picked up the huanghuali log and studied it.

He is not uncommon to see finished Huanghuali objects.

Woodware is also a large branch of antiques.

Most of the wood ware that has been handed down now is Ming and Qing dynasty woodware.

Most of the fine products are mainly small-leaved red sandalwood and sea yellow.

Nowadays, a Ming Dynasty Haihuang Taishi chair, as long as it is in good condition, the price has to be more than one million.

If it's an old table, an old bed, an old cabinet or something, the price is tens of millions.

However, Lin Cheng doesn't know too much about this huanghuali log.

I've only heard of some experience in distinguishing, but I've never actually done it by hand.

Today, he's ready to give it a try.

Lin Cheng kept picking up the log to look at it, and then put it down again.

None of the logs caught his eye.

Because the yellow pear material at the incision is relatively light in color.

The light color indicates that there is not enough time to grow.

It is well known that the growth of huanghuali is very slow.

The yellow pear tree that has grown for more than ten years may not be able to bloom yellow pear wood.

Doesn't that sound fantastical?

The yellow pear trees that are not old enough grow with white bark.

It is only after the age that the core gradually changes, the color becomes deeper, and the wood grain shows a beautiful color and wood grain.

Therefore, the Huanghuali of ten years can only be regarded as a young age, and the Huanghuali tree of thirty or fifty years can produce high-quality Huanghuali wood.

As for the Huanghuali furniture used by emperors and nobles in the past, they are basically wood that is more than 100 years old.

Among them, the longer the growth year, the darker the color of the yellow pear bred by the wood core.

There is even a kind of purple-red pineapple wood, which is called avocado, and it is the top grade of Huanghuapear.
