Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 191: It’s hard to estimate the value of selling together. I have the book with me.

After Boss Gong left, the two opened the box.

When opening the box, he also looked at the wood of the box. It was also made of sandalwood, but it was not rosewood either.

The first thing Wu Yuansheng saw was a wooden fish. Next to the wooden fish was a string of Buddhist beads, and below were some scriptures.

He took the wooden fish in his hand and looked at it. The wooden fish was very small, about 10 centimeters long, 8 centimeters wide, and about 6 centimeters tall. There was a lotus pattern carved on the surface of the wooden fish.

I looked at its material and it looked like boxwood.

Putting the wooden fish aside, he picked up the string of beads and looked at them. The color of the beads was darker, like brown, but not like sandalwood.

The diameter of the beads was about seven to eight millimeters (less than one centimeter). He counted them and found 21 in total. They should be held in his hands for chanting.

I brought it to my nose and smelled it, it had a light woody scent.

Wu Yuansheng thought for a while and felt that the beads should be made of agarwood.

Unlike today's beads made by machines, which are all the same size and shape, the beads on this string of bracelets look different in size and texture.

After looking at it for a while, he was sure that it was an old piece of agarwood.

Authentic agarwood is more valuable than golden nanmu, rosewood, huanghuali, etc.

Especially some old wood, it is difficult to see it on the market at present, and those that can be seen, those that only cost tens or hundreds of yuan a bunch, are almost all fakes soaked in potion.

(The finest agarwood is "Qinan", which is also called "agar". Rich people may not be able to buy this.)
Since it is agarwood, it goes without saying that this bracelet is of great value.

Putting down the beads, he read the scriptures inside again.

There are many sutras, including the most famous "Diamond Sutra", "Surangama Sutra", "Mahayana Infinite Life Sutra", etc.

After reading for a while, he found that a few scriptures were still manuscripts from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China.

When he looked at these things, Boss Liu was also looking at them.

"Opening verse:

The supremely profound and subtle Dharma has been encountered in hundreds of thousands of eons. I have now seen and heard it and upheld it. I am willing to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata. "

When Boss Liu opened a scripture, he read casually.

"Xiang Zan:
The incense suddenly warms up.The Dharma Realm is clouded.All the Buddhas gathered in the sea and heard it from afar.There are auspicious clouds everywhere.Sincerity Fang Yin. "

After a while, he said again.

After that, continue to look at the back of the book.

He was no stranger to these scriptures and basically understood them.

Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect, and stresses self-enlightenment, cultivating the mind, cultivating the nature, and being pure and ethereal.

They watched for a while, and Boss Gong brought out several rolled-up calligraphy and paintings that seemed to have been framed and a gourd.

After putting it in the car, he went to get things again. It seemed that there were a lot of things in the place where he rented a house.

He picked up the gourd and looked at it. He found that the gourd was very big and special.

The total height of the gourd is almost half a meter. The two gourds are not directly connected like most gourds. There is a slender part of about 10 centimeters between them.

This part is cylindrical, about 4 centimeters in diameter, and this is what makes it special.

Except for the slender joint here, the gourd, which is about half a meter long, is still very large. It has two bellies. The larger one at the bottom has a maximum diameter of about 15 centimeters, and the smaller one at the top is nearly 10 centimeters.

The gourd is dark yellow in color, with thick pulp and looks old.Putting the gourd down, Wu Yuansheng looked at the rolled calligraphy and paintings again.

There were four paintings and calligraphy in total. After opening it and looking at it, he found that two were calligraphy and the other two were paintings.

There was a big calligraphy word "Zen" written on it. I looked at the inscription and found that the word was too sloppy and could not be read clearly, like "King X".

The other piece of calligraphy is written in "Prajna Jackfruit Heart Sutra". There are too many words, it is written in small regular script, and the signature is "XX Shanren".

There are two paintings, one of which is a pattern of lotus seeds, lotus flowers and lotus leaves. The painting looks very good, and the signature is "Zeng XX".

The other is a printed painting with the image of Buddha and the words "Namo's Master Sakyamuni Buddha" written on it.

While they were watching, Boss Gong brought out two more items. He said that these were the only items he had left.

What I took out these two times were several abacus, a pair of mahjong tiles made of old bamboo, a few kerosene lamps, and an enamel plate of "independence and self-reliance" from a special period.

There are five abacuses, four of which are made of wood and one of which is plastic.

He looked at the materials of several wooden abacus, they were all ordinary wood.

There are six kerosene lamps, two of which have no lampshades. There is an oil lamp inside that looks very early. There is a copper dollar-like double flag pattern on the glass surface, which looks like it was from the Republic of China period.

"No alms bowl or vajra?"

Boss Gong said that these were the only things available at the moment, so he asked in passing.

"No, these are the only things I bought from the family I went to a few days ago. I will definitely sell them to you if I have them. I don't need these items!"

"Okay, tell me how much these things cost in total?"

Now that he has taken it all out, Wu Yuansheng plans to buy it in a package. It would be best if he agrees. If he doesn't agree, let's wait.

"Let's do the same thing. We can't get a good estimate for selling it together. I have the book with me. If we agree on the same thing, we'll write down the price."

Master Gong did not agree with the packing. It seemed that it was impossible to "shoot with one shot".

People who engage in recycling have to keep accounts every day, so it is normal to carry paper and pen with them.

Then the two began to discuss the price.

The "transfer pillar" costs 200, the bell-ringing wood costs 100, the agarwood beads cost 100, the wooden fish costs 30, the scriptures cost 300 (there are several early manuscripts in them), the box with the word "Buddha" containing the scriptures costs 100, and calligraphy and painting cost 300.

The gourd is 100, the abacus is 30, the bamboo mahjong tiles are 150, the oil lamp is 100, and the enamel plate is 50.

Finally, after summarizing, these things totaled 1560 yuan.

When buying something, he would definitely not tell them what the wood is made of.

Otherwise, how could he "pick up the leaks"?
When doing collections, including doing other businesses, many times, it’s not all about “picking up the missing pieces”!
For ordinary people, who cares what kind of wood something is made of.

People don't care about all kinds of wood, including their value, and usually don't understand it.

Most people who engage in recycling are like this at first. They just think it's special and can be sold for money. After picking it up and selling it, they can make some money.

When Master Gong went to someone's house to buy something, these two items should have cost nothing, and they let him take them by the way.

(Many people who recycle old goods go to old houses in demolition areas to buy things, because some household owners want to make money for renovations, so they package and sell their household items to them.

Many times, some valuable and valuable items are forgotten by the demolition households themselves because they have been stored for too long, let alone the things left behind by the older generation after their death. )
"Boss Wu, let's count the clothes in the box of my car!"

After paying him 1560 yuan and putting away all the things he bought, Boss Gong said.
