I Can Extract Abilities From Antiques

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Hu Muzhi saw a man who was about seventy years old sitting on the chair of the Eight Immortals in the middle hall, wearing a melon rind hat, wearing a gray tunic suit, and leaning on a cane in his hand.

The overall feeling of the old man is very refined.

"Master." The dark-skinned man shouted towards the elegant old man.

"Little Si, you're back." The elegant old man raised his eyes slightly and replied lightly.

"Yes, sir, these two are the people who came to see the red sandalwood bed." The dark man said respectfully.

"My body is a little inconvenient to move, you take them to the back room to see." The elegant old man said.

"Okay, sir." After the dark man finished speaking, he looked at Hu Muzhi and Xia Yurou and said, "You two, come with me."

While the elegant old man was talking to the dark man, Hu Muzhi had already scanned the middle hall.

Eight Immortals table, Taishi chair, Zhongtang table...

Although these things look very quaint, they are not very high-end, not to mention a piece of hardwood furniture, and they are all modern handicrafts.

Hearing the dark man's words, Hu Muzhi withdrew his gaze and entered a room in the back room together with Xia Yurou.

As soon as he entered the room, Hu Muzhi felt that the room was very dark and damp, no worse than where he lived.

The floors and walls have been water stained due to the return of damp.

There is no other furniture in the room except a canopy bed.

The canopy bed is the most used bed by the ancients. The bed is equipped with fences on three sides, and is mostly made of small materials and inserted into geometric patterns, with uprights.

But this canopy bed is a little different, the tooth plate is very large, and the gap under it is very low.

Ordinary adults can't get in at all.

"In a few days, the master will go abroad to enjoy his grandson, so I took everything I could take away from home, but this red sandalwood bed is too big and inconvenient to transport, so I reluctantly gave up my love, you two Take a look." The dark man pointed at the canopy bed and said.

Xia Yurou nodded slightly, then looked at Hu Muzhi, motioning him to take a look with her.

Hu Muzhi looked at it carefully.

The overall design of the red sandalwood bed in front of me also echoes the characteristics of Qing style furniture.

The shape is heavy and the decoration is rich and luxurious. In the structure production, in order to ensure the consistency of the appearance, color and texture, and to be firm and reliable, a single piece of wood is used instead of small wood splicing.

The characteristics have been echoed, and then we will see if it is red sandalwood.

Distinguishing red sandalwood can be summed up in five words, namely 'look', 'weigh', 'smell', 'bubble', and 'knock'.

Look, look at the texture characteristics of red sandalwood.

Weighing is to weigh a piece of red sandalwood. On the one hand, check whether it reaches the weight of red sandalwood (the volume should reach); on the other hand, pay attention to the feel during the weighing process.

Generally speaking, the number of weighted red sandalwood objects exceeds 800, and the feel will be there.

But this method doesn't work for the canopy bed in front of me, because it doesn't move at all.

Smell is to scrape a little red sandalwood sawdust with a knife and smell its smell, because red sandalwood has a faint fragrance, if the fragrance is too strong or there is no fragrance, it is suspicious.

Soaking is the most commonly used method to identify red sandalwood, which is to scrape a little sawdust and put the sawdust into alcohol.

As soon as the red sandalwood sawdust encounters alcohol, it will be immediately decomposed into pink, and it will form a sticky jelly with the alcohol.

If there is no alcohol, high-purity liquor is also acceptable.

Xia Yurou brought white wine with her before going out, that's what she did.

Knock, use authentic red sandalwood blocks, preferably "red sandalwood ruler", gently tap the red sandalwood object, listen to its sound, the percussion sound of red sandalwood is clear and pleasant, without noise.

It's just that Xia Yurou doesn't have this tool, so she can only use 'look', 'smell', and 'bubble'.

After looking at it for a while, Xia Yurou said to the dark man, "You said this is a red sandalwood bed, then scrape it."

The dark-skinned man responded, and he found a newspaper and spread it on the damp ground. Then, holding a knife, he fell down and began to scrape wood chips on the back of the tooth plate.

The scraps are generally scraped in places where the red sandalwood objects are not noticed, because this will not affect the overall appearance.

Not long after, a large piece of sawdust had been scraped in the dark man's hand.

Xia Yurou grabbed a little bit, first put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance.

The smell echoes the characteristics of red sandalwood.

Immediately, high-purity liquor and a glass were taken out of the bag.

Hu Muzhi knew what Xia Yurou was going to do, so he helped pour the liquor into the glass.

Xia Yurou put the red sandalwood sawdust in her hand into the glass.

As the red sandalwood sawdust came into contact with the alcohol, the alcohol in the glass immediately reacted, giving people a feeling of cloud and mist.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yurou's eyes lit up.

It is red sandalwood sawdust, that is to say, this canopy bed is made of red sandalwood.

"Boss, how is it? Are you still satisfied?" The dark man said in a timely manner.

"Let's talk about the price." Xia Yurou said, the implication being that this thing is good.

"Please follow me to the central hall." The dark man made a gesture of invitation toward the door.

At this moment, Hu Muzhi said, "Hello, where is the toilet? My stomach is a little uncomfortable."

"You can see it when you go out and turn left and go straight." The dark man replied.

"Manager Xia, then you can talk first, I'll go to the toilet." Hu Muzhi said towards Xia Yurou.

"Yeah." Xia Yurou nodded slightly, and went to the middle hall with the dark man.

After using the toilet, Hu Muzhi did not go to the middle hall, but returned to the room where the canopy bed was.

Although this canopy bed feels like a red sandalwood bed, there are still many doubts.

For example, there is no need to worry about finding a buyer for such a red sandalwood canopy bed. Why does this dark man come to the door to find a buyer?

Also, it was May, the weather had already started to get hot, and the air was relatively dry, and the ventilation of the courtyard was no problem. It stands to reason that the room would not be so dark and humid.

Of course, the most important point is that the place where the tanned man scrapes the sawdust is on the back of the dental plate.

No one can see it there, will the other party hide the sawdust in advance?

With a lot of doubts, Hu Muzhi didn't care about the dirt on the ground, he lay down like the dark man, put one hand behind the tooth plate, and began to grope.

Soon, Hu Muzhi discovered that there was a protruding wooden board on the back of the dental plate, as if it was stuck with glue.

The main thing is that there are scratches from the knife on the board.

"As expected, the red sandalwood sawdust is real, and the red sandalwood bed is fake." Hu Muzhi understood immediately.

What the dark-skinned man had just scraped was not the wood chips of the canopy bed, but the red sandalwood that had been pasted on the back of the tooth plate.
