Chapter 108 The Unique Charm of Wood

I bought the seeds, and today's goal was achieved. By noon, I felt hungry.

"Ya, let's have something to eat first and then go shopping. I see that there are food sold there, which happens to be the center of the flower and bird market."

"Okay, I'll eat first and then go shopping. The flower and bird market is quite big. We only visited halfway through the morning. There are antiques and goldfish sellers in the diet area."

"I haven't been there any more. I've been here before. I've been here and I can just come over and take a look later."

Yanzi and I walked to the diet area and looked at it. We really didn’t know what to eat. After all, we are not professional in diet, so we didn’t feel very delicious. We could only eat some light meals casually.

"Baby, be full."

"Well, it's really not delicious, so I can only eat some casually first and keep my stomach up. You said the food here is not very delicious, why are there so many people?"

"It's an exclusive business, there's something to sell food in this market, otherwise you have to go outside the market."

"Forget it, let's go and have something delicious tonight."

Leave the dining area and walk towards the antique shop.

"Ya, there are obviously fewer shops here, and they feel very ancient."

"Of course, there are all antiques here. After all, not everyone likes it, especially young people, there are even fewer ones."

"Look at what's fun about these woods? I saw that they all like to wipe them around. Isn't this just a decoration?"

"Hehe, wood is also very particular. Let's take you to see it, you'll know."

I pulled Yanzi into a large wooden skewer shop. There were still quite a lot of people inside, but most of them were middle-aged people, so there were fewer young people like us.

In the ordinary area, pick up a string of pine and cypress and hand it to Yanzi.

"Ya, what's so fun about this?"

"You smell it."

"Well, there is a faint smell of wood."

"Hehe, this kind of sandalwood is very cheap in wood, but its taste has a refreshing effect."

"So amazing?"

"Yes, come here, I'll take you to see the Star Moon Bodhi."

When I walked to the counter, I saw a string of Bodhi, some that had not been sold before, and some that had been sold to the point of turning red.

"Baby, look at this."

“Aren’t these two strings the same variety?”

"Yes, you see, the red one is formed by slowly playing with the white one next to it, and gradually patina."

"Will this thing change color?"

"It's amazing. Don't look at these things without vitality, but they're very interesting."

Yanzi seemed to be a little interested and started to stroll in the store.

"Ya, what do you think this is? The crimson red looks so beautiful, shiny, is this wood?"

When I saw Yanzi's bracelet, it turned out to be Xiaoye Rosewood.

"Baby, this is red sandalwood, it's very unique."

"Well, it looks like a little shining star."

Seeing Yanzi interested, I asked the salesperson to help me get a string.

"Yanzi, bring these white gloves."

"Wow, you have to wear gloves to touch this."

"Of course, everyone has oil on their hands. If you play with small-leafed red sandalwood, you must prevent the oil from touching the surface, so you must use gloves to play with it."

"So fine."

"If you take it and look at it, this string is of good quality. If you look closely, it will feel very extended and bright."

Yanzi looked at it for a while and said.

"Yes, Ya, this one looks so bright, so beautiful."

"Hehe, I know that the wood is special. In addition to this, there are also the huanghuali, golden nanmu, and diamonds next to it, which are all very interesting."

"What is the pendant I saw at the door just now? Is it also wood? But it feels a bit like white jade."

"Oh, the one you are talking about is Thousand-Eyed Bodhi, that one is not wood, it is just a fruit, it is the hardened endosperm of the raffia fruit."

"Oh, no wonder that it looks a bit like jade, white."

"Baby, that one is not just a white one. You just saw that one is just a very common one, and there are a fewer greens and the least reds."

"Why didn't I see those just now?"

When I heard Yanzi ask such a dull question, I gently flicked her forehead and said with love all over her eyes.

"Baby, you are so cute. It's very rare. How could it be so easy to see?"

"Then isn't this a shop? You can buy and sell it. No matter how small it is, there are, there are."

At this time, I took out a raw material for Thousand Eyes Bodhi that had not been polished for her.

"Is this?"

"This is the Thousand-Eyed Bodhi you just saw, but this is the original material. After polishing, it will become what you said in plain sight."

"Ah, that's what comes from this."

"Yes, many people don't buy the finished product directly when buying Thousand Eyes Bodhi. They choose a raw material themselves and ask the boss to help polish it. To see if they have good character, they may polish it into green or red Bodhi."

"What should I do if I don't like when polishing it."

"There is nothing else. Although the shops here will also be recycled, they are only limited to green. The red ones are very rare and there are too many white ones. They can sell them by polishing them themselves and they don't need to be recycled at all."

"Oh, so that's it. Although this is not as good-looking as the bracelet I just saw, it feels good."

"Each of them has their own feelings. I think the rosewood you just saw is of good quality, and I have been playing with it for a long time. The patina is ready and the price will not be cheap."

"Then the one I just saw is usually less expensive."

"If you buy the ordinary red sandalwood, it will only cost a few hundred yuan for yourself to play slowly, but like the finished product you just held in your hand that you have already played, if you buy it directly, it will probably cost a few thousand yuan. If it is the best, it will cost tens of thousands."

"It's so expensive, right? Then I can buy one and sell it."

"Baby, playing this is no less than growing flowers and grass. It even needs to be more refined. The time period is also very long. You need to avoid soaking water or sweating when playing. You need to use cotton gloves when taking it out. It is not so easy to play well."

“It’s so complicated.”

"So there was a word about the stubborn children of the feudal dynasty, which was called "don't betrayal and lose your ambitions."

"Then were the most expensive ones on the counter just now the one I got?"

"No, look, there is a yellow one next to the small-leaf red sandalwood, which is called yellow rosewood. It can be thousands of casually. Now the most expensive wood should be that, because there are fewer and fewer wood, which is called rare things."

"Will anyone buy the raw materials for these woods directly?"

"Yes, some people like to buy wood directly. If it is red sandalwood, it will be rich. It is a bit like gambling stones. And many celebrities spend money to buy a lot of red sandalwood wood collection."

"Hey, I really don't understand the world of rich people. There are so many people who can't eat this thing."

"This is the so-called quality of life, so the most expensive decoration should not be European style, but Chinese style decoration."

"That's the same. If you use the Huanghuali you mentioned to make a table, how much does it cost."

"You really don't mention the old officials and nobles in the past, they really use Huanghuali to make seats, so Chinese things are really high-end, elegant and up-to-date."

"Agree, let's go, the things here are so expensive and can't afford them."

"Baby, don't you like this Thousand-Eyed Bodhi? We can buy this raw material for them to help polish it. If you are lucky, you will get the red one."

"Okay, if I get the red one, I can sell it in the store and make some money. Isn't it very smart?"

"Hehe, I guess you won't be willing to buy it if you really polish it into red."

Yanzi saw that I guessed what she was thinking, and stuck out her tongue and said.

"Let's talk about it then, let's choose one first."

Yanzi chose one from a pile of raw materials.

"Ya, what do you think of this? Will it turn red?"

"It's possible. If you choose, don't change it, just this one."

"Okay, listen to you."

I took the raw materials that Yanzi chose and handed them to the staff.

"Hello, we chose this, please help us polish it."

"Okay, this one is 10 yuan per person. I will start polishing after I have chosen it. No matter what the polishing is, it cannot be replaced or backed up. If there is a good quality, we can recycle it, green 4o and red 2oo."

"Well, we're sure, so polish it."

The staff took the Bodhi raw materials we selected, dipped in water, and prepared to start polishing.
