Play treasure master

Chapter 93
Yu Yao nodded, "The Qing Dynasty is very likely. I actually said it in the store, it is very suitable for the curtain of the Buddhist altar."

Pu Jie slapped his forehead, "That's right, I still said, this size is quite strange! According to what you said, it's really suitable for hanging on the Buddhist altar as a curtain! Maybe it's used by Concubine Xi!"

Yu Yao was speechless.

But Pu Jie continued to explain, "I'm not talking about when she was a noble concubine, but after his son became emperor, she had nothing to do except burn incense and worship Buddha; didn't Qianlong also call the Queen Mother Lafayette! She was in Shoukang Isn't it appropriate to use a Buddhist altar specially used in the palace?"

"Okay." Yu Yao waved his hand, "There's no way to be careful about this, let's talk about it after getting a professional to wash it out. The most strange thing for me is, how can such a fine piece of silk be dusted and made so dirty?"

"This, you can't be particular about it! There is a distance of thousands of miles from the imperial palace in the capital to the old farmers in the porcelain capital. As long as you can confirm that it is genuine, then it will be fine!" Pu Jie said carelessly, "Now I am more interested in Yes, it is tentatively from the Qing Dynasty, how much is it worth?"

Yu Yao sighed, "It depends on the degree of washing out. If it can't be washed out, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Nowadays, the technology in all walks of life is so advanced, we must be able to find professionals! You just say it's washed out, it's beautiful, how much is it worth?"

"I can't say specifically. There are tens of millions of large-scale Kesi works from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty. I haven't seen any auction records for small-sized ones. And this washing will definitely affect the price. If you want to really know the market The price can only be known by sending it to a big auction house. If you have to estimate it, I can only say that a million is no problem, as for how high it can go, I have no idea."

"There are two million-dollar items in one store, Boss Jin should cry."

"Crying? He's secretly laughing now! With his eyesight, he's already earning a lot!"

Pu Jie shook his neck, "This trip to Porcelain City is really not in vain! I accidentally picked up a Jingkang Yuanbao! I see, we have to go out often. For example, Yanjing, maybe we will wait for the next year. A month or so, more leaks will be picked up.”

"Aside from eyesight, luck is very important in things like picking up leaks. For example, today, Uncle Zhang came a few minutes late, and this Kesi work just passed by!" Yu Yao was not dazzled by the victory, " Yanjing? There are so many masters there, you may not be able to get any big bargains."

"You always like to say bad things. Let's go and continue shopping."

Luck is really hard to say.Sometimes when you visit the market all day, you go in empty-handed, and come out empty-handed.Sometimes it's just one good thing after another.

In fact, these days, it is not easy to find good things that you like at the right price, not to mention missing out.

The two were on the third floor of the Antique Art City, and walked around half of the shops, but they didn't find anything good.

When getting off the elevator, Pu Jie had a whim and said that since the second floor is dominated by mahogany furniture, let's take a look.

"It's all modern furniture, what's so good about it? And the wood is so expensive now." Yu Yao didn't want to look at it.

"You have a bit of foundation now. When you buy a house or furniture, don't you buy some high-end ones? Just take a look!" Pu Jie said while walking towards the shop area.

What I said was a bit reliable, besides, Pu Jie passed by first, and Yu Yao followed, so it didn't take much time to just look around.

According to the current international mahogany standards, there are more than 30 kinds. The so-called mahogany furniture in the antique city is the meaning of this collective term.However, people in the industry still like to use the old saying that mahogany only refers to rosewood, and others belong to mahogany, and they are called by their own names.

The shops on the second floor are all big shops, because the space required for placing furniture is also large, so there are not many shops in total.

Most of the furniture in the store is of antique style, but Yu Yao's head hurts seeing it, because many details are completely missing.

The two walked around, and these stores were relatively deserted.Finally, when I walked to an inconspicuous location on a corner, I found a lot of people around the entrance of a store.

Regardless of the inconspicuous location, the name of the store is quite upscale: Tanliguan.

People are divided into three, six, and nine classes, and there are rosewood and red sandalwood.

Small-leaf red sandalwood and Hainan huanghuali, from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the present, are both first-class top-grade wood, dragons and phoenixes among the woods.These two names are common names. Small-leaf red sandalwood should be called sandalwood red sandalwood, and the best one is from India.Hainan huanghuali, referred to as Haihuang for short, is named after the place of origin, and its scientific name is Dalbergia Dalbergia.

Yu Yao and Pu Jie walked over to have a look. It turned out that there were so many people around because a machine was pulled out from the door of the store and was about to cut materials.

The material to be opened is a piece of sea yellow wood about one and a half meters long and more than ten centimeters in diameter.

This piece of wood has a white skin on the outside, but the yellow-brown heartwood is exposed in the cross-section at both ends.Judging from the exposed heartwood, the diameter should be seven or eight centimeters.

Already very good.

The sea yellow wood and the white leather on the outside, that is, the sapwood, cannot be used.Only the heartwood is the real sea yellow material.

"Let's start! This piece of material is going to be made into beads. Let's make a cut in the middle first, and we'll see if you make a profit or not. Everyone! Open the material, and accept orders for prayer beads and bracelets!" A [-]-year-old The [-]-year-old man with a flat head said to the audience.

It seems that the owner of this shop does not make furniture, but small things.Nowadays, red sandalwood and sea yellow are hard to come by, such as boxes, decorations, prayer beads, bracelets, and other small things, made of good materials, and the price is also high.

"I'll go. I only heard that the bets were made against live trees. I didn't expect to see round logs cut in the Antique City of Porcelain City today!" Pu Jie laughed.

The raw jadeite cut material is called gambling stone; the sea yellow cut material is called gambling grid.

Because Haihuang can only use the heartwood, the local people call the heartwood "ge", so it is called gambling.Sea yellow can be divided into avocado and bran pear, which are also called oil pear and bran pear by local people.

If the bet is a living tree, it is much more difficult than betting on a stone.When a tree grows in the ground, all you can see is the bark and leaves. Who knows what the heartwood looks like?Sea yellow grows slowly, and the main trunk is thick, so it can be called an old tree. It is not impossible for such a main trunk to produce "chopsticks" or even "toothpicks".

Now the owner of the sandalwood restaurant is betting on the rooted logs, and the cross-sections at both ends can be exposed.

In this case, the risk is less, but it is still a gamble.Because, the growth of lattice is not necessarily uniform; it may be thick and thin at times, or even hollow.

This one has a log diameter of more than ten centimeters, and the diameter of the two ends is seven or eight centimeters. It looks very good, but after cutting it, whether it is still the same in the middle, you really have to cut it to see the difference.

Gambling prices are generally very careful.This one, according to the boss, has been decided to be a bead.Otherwise, I would never be willing to make a "one cut and two cut" from the middle first, and would carefully plan from both ends.

The rustling chainsaw sounded.
