Chapter 36 Long Insight
"Old Ma, are you talking nonsense? A dime a pound? Firewood isn't that cheap. ”
He Xiao was a little confused, and he couldn't help but refute.
"Hey, a few years ago, I really used this rosewood as firewood to burn, this wood is strong, and it is forbidden to burn it when used to make steel."
Seeing that he was so surprised, Ma Weidu smiled and said again, but it was a pity to say this.
The wood of Huanghuali is strong and firm, not easy to crack and deform, and it is really a bit violent to use it to burn fire.
At his house, there is a long table of Huanghuali in the early Qing Dynasty, more than four meters long, and it can be seen from this hanging leg that the end is very flat, and it is not deformed at all.
After 400 years, it has not been deformed at all, and you can say how good this wood is.
"This rosewood is really good, but it's not too expensive, I didn't lie to you."
"A dime and a catty, it sounds a bit exaggerated, but let me tell you, our Beijing Tongrentang has a Huanghuali there to make medicine, and I heard that it is only a few cents a catty."
A few cents......
He Xiao turned his head and glanced at the furniture on the ground, a large table with missing legs, the price was eight yuan, and it was not too much of a loss according to the weight.
Not to mention the furniture, which are all old objects, and the latest ones are decades old.
However, looking at these broken furniture with missing arms and legs, He Xiao's heart suddenly became a little unsettled.
"Old horse, don't keep picking on the furniture for me, pick more good ones for me."
"Sneer......"
Hearing He Xiao's words, Ma Weidu rolled his eyes.
"Okay, can it be your turn? As far as that Gege is concerned, people have already begun to collect this thing and pour it into the Xiangjiang River. ”
"In the territory of the capital, all the trust stores, as long as they are complete red sandalwood and rosewood furniture, have already been picked by others, Xiao He, it's too late."
After speaking, Ma Weidu was happy in his heart, and he also had a share here.
There are a lot of Huanghuali furniture in his house, and many of them are leaks from trust stores.
"Yes, I'll just collect the tattered goods, forget it, you can pick it for me quickly, I want the tatters too."
He Xiao felt a little heartache, this was five years earlier, and good things must be everywhere.
But don't look down on these rags, in another twenty years...... No, not twenty years, another ten years, this pile of broken furniture, that's a good thing.
If you can meet it, you can't miss it.
"Brother He Xiao, are these pieces of furniture?"
Feng Gang led two three-wheelers, and as soon as he entered the store, he looked at the broken furniture on the ground, which was twice as large, and he was a little blind.
How can this be so much more effort in a while?
Is it really a rag?
"Yes, it's all, Lao Feng, I'm sorry for you, show me more, these broken legs are also with me, I'll go back to the car beads and use them."
Feng Gang looked back at the two people he had called, with a wry smile on his face, "Well, I'll call a few more people." ”
After a while, Feng Gang led two more people in.
Plus he himself was a total of five people, and they hugged the wooden furniture and moved it out.
There was a lot of commotion here, and everyone else in the store was curious to see the excitement.
He Xiao didn't care, he walked to Ma Weidu's side and looked at it carefully.
When he met something he couldn't understand, he asked the old horse.
He is a layman, and he can't always rely on blindness to collect things, he can learn a little bit, and maybe he can mix with everyone in the future.
Ma Weidu didn't hide it, and talked about Huanghuali's knowledge as soon as he opened his mouth.
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and in the end, he didn't need He Xiao to ask, he took the initiative to introduce it.
He Xiao listened carefully.
……
After a while, seeing Ma Weidu casually push a pair of complete small square stools to the corner, He Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Huh? Old horse, isn't that pair of small square stools Huanghuali's? Look at that grimace, it's the same as the one you introduced? ”
"Huh? Ahem. ”
Ma Weidu's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he reached out and pulled the pair of small square stools back.
"......" He Xiao.
Well, he almost missed a pair of good things, but this is still watching under his nose, this old horse is really not a good thing.
He Xiao looked at him with disdain.
"Ahem, Xiao He, I am short of a pair of stools at home, can you give it to me?"
"Sensei, old horse, I invited you to help me pick things today, don't do anything to hurt my buddy's righteousness."
He Xiao grabbed the small square stool, hurriedly called the salesman, took out the money and paid the bill, this can't let others cut off their beards.
When the thing was his own, he took a closer look.
This pair of small square stools has a gray appearance, and there are no carvings on it, just a simple small square stool, placed there, and it looks very inconspicuous.
If it weren't for the old horse's movements, he really wouldn't have noticed.
"Alas......"
Ma Wei sighed, his heart aching.
"Old horse, what do you say about this pair of small square stools?"
"Look at this formula, like ...... in the late Ming Dynasty"
After saying that, Ma Weidu stopped talking, it's really weird, he only came here last week, why didn't he see it at that time.
It hurts, my heart hurts so much.
"Huh, from the end of the Ming Dynasty?"
He Xiao was so surprised, but when Lao Ma said that he looked at this pair of small square stools, it was really a bit similar to the wooden bed at his house.
The main thing is like the style, at a glance it looks very simple, and if you look closely, there is a bit of atmosphere in the simplicity.
"Old Ma, what is the difference between the furniture of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty?"
"Ming Dynasty furniture heavy structure, less decoration."
"Qing Dynasty furniture is heavily decorated and gorgeous."
Ma Weidu lost his previous good mood, said a few words casually, and then stopped.
"Heavy structure, heavy decoration ......"
In just two sentences, He Xiao suddenly felt that he understood.
I looked back at the half of the wooden screen, the carving in front is an orchid, the back is the word Fu, there is a vase and a bookcase on the upper half, and the bottom is carved with a beast.
"Old Ma, this screen must be an object from the Qing Dynasty, right?"
"Republican."
He Xiao: "......"
Well, it's not that simple.
He Xiao shook his head, and didn't guess blindly, he walked to Ma Weidu's side and looked at it carefully.
This old horse is not an honest man, so it's better to watch more.
With a complete pair of small square stools, Ma Weidu picked out two bookshelves from the Republic of China and a flat-headed case with two drawers at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Except for these few complete pieces of furniture, everything else is a lack of arms and legs, and He Xiaozhi has a toothache.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
It's a shame that so many good pieces of furniture have all been made like this.
Speaking of which, people in this era do not cherish it, what ancient broken furniture, put it at home is a thing that occupies space.
What is popular now is sofas, coffee tables, and bedside tables.
When you get married, if you have a few electroplated folding chairs, it will be a row, and who would be rare with ancient tattered furniture.
