Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 71 Ivory Flower Basket
Lying on the bed for a long time, Du Kang was going to buy furniture.

It's just that he wanted to buy a lot of furniture, and he couldn't handle it by himself, so he had to find someone to help him.

Du Qiang is good, but he is in Mujinxuan now, so he has to go to Mujinxuan to call someone.

Isn't this nonsense, he just didn't want to go to Mujinxuan because he thought it was troublesome, but he had to make another trip.

After thinking about it for a while, Du Kang didn't go, but let Shrike come back, and he ate there.

When the Shrike flew back, Du Kang wrote a note and tied it to its paw with a rope, telling it to go to Mujinxuan to call Du Qiang.

In ancient times, there were flying pigeons who passed on books, and now there is Du Kang who passed on books to Feiniao.

Next time I have to buy a myna parrot or something that can talk, and directly direct the remote control.

Don't be like Shrike, who doesn't have the ability to learn words. Let his training techniques be superb, and you can't make birds who don't have the ability to learn words to speak.

If you think of something, you have to let it come back and carry out the Asuka transmission.

If this is mynah, it can directly let it speak there and convey information.

Commanding Shrike to fly to Mujinxuan, Du Kang took a look, and Du Qiang was installing the machine with others there.

Let it fall on the machine next to it, blew a few times, and soon attracted people's attention, and someone said strangely, "Look, there seems to be something on that bird's leg."

Du Qiang also saw it, and said in surprise, "This is not my young master's shrike."

Trying to grab it, the Shrike didn't resist and let him hold it in his hands.

Untie the rope, get the note tied to his leg, and let the Shrike fly.

Everyone looked excitedly. They had only heard of flying pigeons passing on letters, but never heard of flying birds passing on letters. They didn't expect Du Kang to have this ability.

After opening the note for a glance, Du Qiang broke his face and handed the note to Liu Erdan.

"You should read it."

He doesn't know how to read, how can he read?
Liu Erdan looked at the note and said, "Boss asked you to go to his house. I have something to do with you."

"I'm going right now."

After Du Qiang left, everyone was still talking about it. It was the first time they had met, and it was enough to make a conversation and show off to others.

When Du Qiang came, Du Kang took him to the trust store.

Mom asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

"Go shopping. The courtyard is almost finished. I'm not going to buy some furniture. I'll live in it then."

That's the way it is. Hearing that the courtyard has been renovated, Liu Yun's thoughts surged, maybe she can go and have a look.

Du Kang stopped the car, went in and went straight to the place where the furniture was sold.

Seeing the pile of furniture, Du Kang was even happier. There were many high-quality goods in it. It seems that no discerning person came to sweep the goods during this period of time.

Du Kang proudly took Du Qiang to move out, and when he saw something good, he went over to check it, and when he thought it was all right, he moved it out and put it aside.

One, two, and three, quickly piled up next to each other.

This scene caught the attention of the clerk, who came over and asked, "Do you want to buy all of these?"

"That's right, I bought a new courtyard house and plan to buy some furniture there."

Buying so much furniture at once, are people so luxurious now?

But they have no reason not to sell. On the contrary, they like such big customers very much, and enthusiastically bring people over to help and deliver furniture.

It was just right for someone to help, and Du Kang was there to pick and choose what he liked.

While busy, a clerk with a mustache and glasses came over and saw him asking, "I think you are not short of money, do you want something good?"

"What a good thing."

"It's a flower basket handed down from my ancestors, a flower basket woven from ivory."

"how much is it?"

Du Kang immediately became interested in the flower basket made of ivory.

The other party stretched out his thumb and index finger to make a horoscope, and said, "Eight hundred."

Eight hundred and one baskets are very expensive, but considering that they are made of ivory, they are acceptable.

"I can take a look and keep it as a collection if it's appropriate."

The middle-aged man had a joyful expression on his face. This basket was inherited from his ancestors and had been in his home since the Qing Dynasty.

In the past two years, the sons have gradually grown up, and they are going to sell them to prepare for the bride price, but because they are high-quality goods, they have not been sold for several years.

He is not willing to buy it if it is cheap, and no one will buy it if it is expensive. It is just a useless plaything, who is willing to buy it and spend a lot of money to buy it.

Du Kang asked him to wait a while and pay for the selected furniture first. Due to the large quantity, the trust store also helped find two carts for delivery.

Ask Du Qiang to take them to the courtyard and unload them in the front yard for now, while I go home with him.

The two came to the courtyard where he lived and asked Du Kang to wait there for a while. The man quickly dug out a basket wrapped in cloth from the house.

Put it on the table and open the cloth, revealing the ivory flower basket inside, Du Kang picked it up to check.

What a flower basket of ivory, the craftsmanship is extremely complicated, it is woven with very small pieces of ivory, the details are jaw-dropping, it is the limit level that can be achieved by hand-made.

The whole device is composed of a cover, a basket and a handle. Ivory is used as a raw material, and it is ground into a very thin slice. On it, hollow and fine flower pieces as thin as hair are carved, and then the strips of ivory are woven and combined, imitating The shape and details of the Bamboo Wooden Basket.

All kinds of ivory carving techniques are brought into full play here, such as hollowing out, openwork carving, splicing and combination, etc. The carving is proficient and refined, and its superb skills can be seen from the knife technique of engraving like silk and micro hair.

The pole is hollowed out with dense rhizomes, curly leaves and flowers, and the cover is a large peach on a plate.

Exquisite and superb production technology can be called ingenious workmanship.

Good for decoration.

That's right, it's just for decoration. Who would be willing to use a basket made of ivory? If one is damaged, you won't be able to repair it.

After talking about the price, I won it for 700 yuan.

Slapping 700 yuan on the man's hand, the man's smiling face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he began to talk more: "I think you are rushing to buy antiques to buy furniture. If you want a good one in the future, you can find me and go to it yourself." What good things can you buy?"

"You have?"

"I don't have it, but the Trust Store has it. You don't think that all the products are displayed outside. Some good things are not displayed to people."

It's not that you don't show it to people, but that no one can afford it.

Ordinary people can't afford it, so why put it outside.

Handed him a cigarette and said, "That's really great, why don't we go and have a look today?"

"Okay, I'll let you see it today."

I went there with him, but this time I didn't go to the trust store I just came to, but another one. It seems that the store is much bigger than the one just now, and it should be a place like the headquarters.

After his introduction, several people came to the warehouse.

Sure enough, there are a lot of high-quality goods inside. All kinds of furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties are made of precious wood, such as red sandalwood, huanghuali, and rosewood.

As for the best, even in this era, it is already considered a cultural relic. If you think others are so stupid, you can sell anything.

In addition to picking up leaks, the real boutique will not appear outside, and has long been in museums and other places.

But it was enough to surprise Du Kang.

The expensive furniture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was already very good. If it is another few decades, the price should not be too high.
