"It's really profitable..."

Man Jun, who almost put his eyes on the section of the Huanghuali tree, raised his head now, his face full of excitement, and said, "Fang Yi, this material can make eye-catching beads, and if the patterns inside are regular, it will be at least 3.0 big beads..."

As we all know, precious wood like Huanghuali, large boards are used to create furniture, and smaller ones can also be used to make ornaments or hand-held pieces. Only scraps and materials that are not enough in size can be used to make beads. ←,

Therefore, for ordinary huanghuali bracelets, many beads may not be on one piece of material. Different materials work and the same material make the beads themselves much lower. In addition, the larger the diameter, the more consuming the beads, the higher the value, and naturally the higher the value. Just like a bead of 1.8 can only be sold for a few hundred yuan, while a bead of 2.0 is at least a thousand yuan.

As for Huanghuali beads above 3.0, it is rare on the market, especially the best tiger skin pattern material with 3.0, which can be regarded as rare. Moreover, according to Man Jun's judgment, this material should be able to make eyeballs, and the grade can be improved by one level.

As for what Man Jun said about eye contact, it means that on the beads of Huanghuali, there are patterns that look like eyes, and they are symmetrical on the left and right.

However, since naturally growing wild huanghuali trees generally have poor growth conditions, deep mountains and remote areas, alternating water and drought, and wind and rain, most of the branches are twisted and twisted, and there are few straight dry materials and branch materials with regular shapes. It is difficult to make a whole string of patterns and uniform eyeballs without straightening the heart of the tree.

In addition, wild yellow rosewood trees have the saying "Nine out of ten trees" and most of the sea yellow trees have heart cracks or are simply hollow. In this case, it is even more difficult to find raw materials suitable for eyeballs. Even if the sea yellow eye bracelet is made, there is heart cracks between the center or between the eyes of the tree.

Therefore, it is very rare to see a string of huanghuali, which is neat and uniform, without cracks and no supplements. Man Jun also had a business of huanghuali in the past few years, but he never saw a perfect string of huanghuali beads for huanghuali beads.

However, the material in front of me was planted by Aming from the mountain. The trunk is straight and straight, and there is a high possibility of straightening the material. So after looking at the section, Man Jun also became excited. If he could really make such a string of beads, he could be regarded as a treasure in his small shop.

"I'll peel off the bark outside first..." Seeing Man Jun's excited look, Fang Yi knew that he had picked up the treasure again this time. He didn't say nonsense at the moment. After asking everyone to move aside, he waved his ridge to break up the Huanghuali tree.

"Yes, it's a good material. These tumors will have an impact on the beads. They are not really the best..." Fang Yi cut the four or five-meter-long Huanghuali material into six or seven sections. Except for the few sections held by Man Jun in his arms, the rest were taken in his hands by Zhao Hongtao and Lao Gu.

"Boss Gu, didn't the beads with tumors be just grimaces? Isn't the face patterns also good? Why is Boss Gu not considered the best if he has a tree tumor?" Fang Yi, who had just learned some knowledge of Huanghuali from Zhao Hongtao, said to the old consultant with some confusion.

"Ghost faces are indeed the best, but who told you that the tree tumor is the grimace?" Old Gu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhao Hongtao, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Boss Zhao, why don't you explain it to Brother Fang?"

Old Gu smiled and brought the topic to Zhao Hongtao, because the outside world usually regards Huanghuali's tree tumor as a grimace, and people without real talent and knowledge can really not answer this question.

The reason why Lao Gu wanted to examine Zhao Hongtao was because whether it was the other party Yi or Zhao Hongtao who also won the same gambling tree. Lao Gu was a little dissatisfied in his heart. He asked himself that if he knew Huang Huali, the two people in front of him were not as good as him, and they could win the bet, it was just luck.

"Boss Gu is testing me?"

After hearing Lao Gu's words, Zhao Hongtao smiled and shook his head, saying, "Then let me talk, Fang Yi, grimace and tree tumor are actually different. People who have just come into contact with Huanghuali outside think that grimace is tree tumor, which is actually wrong..."

Zhao Hongtao is not just an academic player. He has been studying wood for nearly twenty years. He has been using or collecting all the precious woods in China. He loves Huanghuali, so whether in theory or practice, Zhao Hongtao can be regarded as an expert.

People who play Huanghuali know the saying "Face" means ghost face. It has almost become the signature or synonym of Huanghuali. The Ming Dynasty's "Gegu Yaolun" records: "Raipe...the flowers with ghost faces are cute."

Therefore, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, Huanghuali's "ghost face" is like a huge "magnet". It has attracted countless lovers of Huanghuali for hundreds of years. Huanghuali with ghost faces is regarded as a treasure among the best products, priceless and has become the target of people's pursuit and search.

However, many people think that the tumors and branches of Huanghuali tree are ghosts. In fact, this perception is wrong. The tumors and branches form not ghosts, but a defect in Huanghuali wood.

Just like a grimace formed by a tree tumor, it is actually the effect of the heartwood after the tree tumor is peeled. Although various beautiful patterns will also be produced, the tree tumor itself is a kind of scar defect, and the grimace formed will also have scars, which is not very perfect.

The real grimace with a huge face is a round spot formed by mutations in the heartwood that is about to be completed during the growth of Huanghuali tree. The diameter of the real grimace generally does not exceed 25p pixels. Only such spots are the real grimace.

However, it is difficult to see if there is a grimace on it without polishing Huanghuali material, so Lao Gu pointed to the places with tree tumors and spoke, which is actually a kind of mentality of saying that the grapes are sour when they cannot eat them.

"Boss Zhao is indeed very knowledgeable, but it's a pity that if this material is really grimaced, its value will be doubled..."

When Old Gu heard Zhao Hongtao's explanation, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know the true meaning of the face. He understood it by chance when he met a big collector. Unexpectedly, Boss Zhao, who looked a bit like an official, knew it.

"Hehe, if it's not the best, it's not the best..."

Fang Yi smiled, reached out and took his material from Lao Gu's hand, and said indifferently: "Anyway, I just spent 6,000 yuan to gamble. As long as these materials are worth more than 6,000..."

Although others cannot see the patterns on the unsmoothed yellow rosewood, Fang Yi can see with his eyesight. After Zhao Hongtao explained the real grimace, Fang Yi recognized that there was such grimace on these materials.

However, Fang Yi knew that if he told the grimace at this time, he would be jealous, so he simply responded to Lao Gu's words. Anyway, he was the one who made a fortune in the end.

"More than 6,000? There may be more than zero afterwards..." Hearing Fang Yi's words, Old Gu became more and more depressed. Today, he, Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi had three bets, but in the end he had to lose, and Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi both gained a lot.

"Okay, today's gambling tree is over, right?" Lao Gu said, "Let's go down the mountain to have a meal. I'll call and have someone take the wine directly to the hotel. I'll have a good meal with Boss Zhao today..."

Although the gambling tree is not good today, Lao Gu still admires the knowledgeable Zhao Hongtao. Moreover, seeing Zhao Hongtao's behavior, Lao Gu can also see that he is an official person, so it is always not harmful to make friends with him.

"Okay, I'll stop drunk with Boss Gu today..."

Zhao Hongtao won a tree today, and he could earn at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. He was in a very good mood, but he suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned to look at Abao and said, "Abao, didn't you say there is a natural cave in the stone mountain here? If time allows, let's go and take a look?"

When Zhao Hongtao was in school, there was no major in the museum department in China, so he graduated from the history department. In the history department, Zhao Hongtao took the geology major. He first started with cultural relics with jade objects, and later he gradually fell in love with various wooden cultural relics.

So out of professional habits, Zhao Hongtao was worried when Abao talked about the natural cave in Shishan. After betting on the trees, he did not forget to go to the cave to check it out, wanting to verify what geographical changes it caused.

"Boss Zhao, are you talking about the cave in the back mountain?" Before Abao answered Zhao Hongtao's words, Lao Gu said first: "What's the beauty of that place is dark and gloomy? I bet that you will turn back if you walk less than fifty meters..."

"Fifty meters, is that hole so deep?"

Zhao Hongtao was stunned when he heard this. He had seen a 50-meter-deep cave before, but most of them had been pulled into the cave and installed on the projector lights and developed into a tourist attraction. It could not be called a natural cave. Unexpectedly, there was such a place in the deep mountains.

"It's more than fifty meters? I see that it's more than five hundred meters. Even the Miao people have never reached the bottom of the hole, right?" Old Gu curled his lips and said, "Boss Zhao, if you are interested, go and have a look. Let's go down the mountain and wait for you first. I guess you will lose interest when you see it. You can't see anything in the dark inside..."

"Okay, then Boss Gu, you go first, I'll see if it's fresh..." After hearing what Old Gu said, Zhao Hongtao was even more interested. Natural caves that had not been developed are much more valuable than those already developed tourist attractions-
