I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques
18. Come To See Objects
"Of course." Xia Heze responded, glanced at the empty-handed posture of the dark-skinned man, and asked, "Your stuff?"
"It's a big object, you need to go and see it yourself." The dark man replied.
It is very common for cultural relics stores to visit the door to see the objects, so Xia Heze asked according to the rules.
"How big is the object?"
"Qing Dynasty red sandalwood bed." The dark man replied.
Hearing this answer, Hu Muzhi and Xia Yurou were both shocked.
You know, red sandalwood is the most advanced material in mahogany, and it is a hardwood with a deep purple color.
Best for making furniture and carving art.
The utensils made of red sandalwood can be waxed and polished without varnish, and the surface can show a satin-like luster.
Since ancient times, it is believed that red sandalwood is the most precious wood. Because it is too precious, there are fewer red sandalwood utensils than huanghuali.
Although the red sandalwood is not as gorgeous as the huanghuali, the quietness and the ancient times are unmatched by any wood.
Moreover, red sandalwood cannot be used for a thousand years, and it is often said that "ten sandalwoods and nine empty spaces", the largest red sandalwood is only about 20 cm in diameter, and its preciousness can be imagined.
In ancient times, "purple" meant auspiciousness, and in addition to the excellent wood and rarity of red sandalwood, red sandalwood was highly cherished by the royal family in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The emperors of the two dynasties did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and gathered all the skilled craftsmen in the world to create all kinds of red sandalwood furniture and accessories.
These things were really superb at the time, not to mention that they have been passed down to this day?
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that red sandalwood is "an inch of wood and an inch of gold".
Not only Chinese people like red sandalwood, but also foreigners.
It is said that there is a 15 cm long red sandalwood coffin model in front of Napoleon's tomb. Visitors are all surprised and envious, thinking it is rare.
In addition to ornamental purposes, the "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records that red sandalwood can stop bleeding and relieve pain.
So after hearing that the dark man's object was a red sandalwood bed from the Qing Dynasty, Xia Yu said softly, "Please take us there to see it."
"Okay, that's the price..." The dark man said before he stopped.
"If it is a Qing Dynasty red sandalwood bed, the price is easy to negotiate." Xia Yurou said.
"I'm relieved if I have your words, boss." The dark-skinned man smiled: "Please, boss, come with me."
"Hu Muzhi, come with me and have a look." Although Xia Yurou was very unhappy about Hu Muzhi peeking at her in the morning, she didn't dare to be careless about things like a red sandalwood bed.
After all, many people have many eyes.
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to look at Xia Heze and continued, "You are here to see the shop."
"Sister, I want to go too." Xia Heze begged.
"How can you help? Do you understand the properties of red sandalwood? If you can tell me, I'll take you there." Xia Yurou said.
"Uh..." Xia Heze was speechless.
Because he didn't know about red sandalwood at all, and if he wanted to follow him, it was just to join in the fun.
"I usually tell you to read more, but you just don't listen." Xia Yurou shook her head, but in the end she didn't bring Xia Heze with her.
But he brought a bottle of high-purity liquor.
After leaving the store, Xia Yurou asked where the dark man's object was.
North City.
Different from the alleys in Nancheng, there are many deep houses and courtyards in Beicheng.
During the Qing Dynasty, the people living in Beicheng were basically princes, dignitaries, and nobles.
So after hearing the dark man's answer, Xia Yurou naturally thought of which despicable prince and nobleman should sell his property.
"Come on, take my car." Xia Yurou said.
Cars were a real luxury in the 1990s.
You must know that the taxis in this meeting are still the means of transportation for the nobles.
And people are not satisfied with running on the street at all, if they want to take a taxi, they can go to the taxi terminal and make an appointment.
Due to the high cost of taxis, another form of transportation has been developed, a van with a dollar per kilometer, commonly known as a face-to-face.
Xia Yurou's car is a Volkswagen Santana.
In 1991, it was called a "magic car", and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a luxury car.
The price of a 18w car discourages many ordinary families.
I have to say, Xia Yurou is really excellent.
These days, there are not many people who own a car, and even fewer people can drive, and she is such a woman who not only has her own car, but also has a driver's license.
This was rare in 1991.
Under the guidance of the dark man, the three Hu Muzhi came to an alley in Beicheng.
"It's here." The dark man shouted, motioning for Xia Yurou to stop the car.
Xia Yurou braked and parked the car at the entrance of a small courtyard house.
Looking out the window, it was a set of courtyards with one entry.
One entrance, two entrances, and three entrances refer to the construction method of courtyard houses in ancient times. The first entrance represents a single courtyard, the second entrance represents two courtyards, and so on.
Although it is a first-time courtyard courtyard, the courtyard is very large, and a sycamore tree stands in the courtyard, which makes the courtyard look extraordinarily quiet.
"Boss, come with me." The dark man got out of the car, greeted Xia Yurou Hu Muzhi, and stepped into the courtyard.
