Chapter 3 Immortals can't break an inch of wood
"It smells so good!"
Wen Yiming just entered the wood market gate and seemed to be in a sea of fragrance! All kinds of wood fragrances came to his nose, flooding him like a tide.
Ordinary people will be attracted by the elegant fragrance of mahogany when they come here, not to mention the super smell of Wen Yiming. The faint fragrance of red sandalwood, the natural freshness of Huanghuali, and the more advanced agarwood, make Wen Yiming take a few deep breaths.
"start!"
Wen Yiming adjusted his breathing, and while walking, he carefully sensed the different sources of fragrance. He soon found that the originally monotonous smell suddenly had layers and strengths!
He walked to a pile of wood and was full of red sandalwood materials. It was full of large materials, at least the size of the bowl. Many businesses like to bet on their eyesight. The general materials are only 2300 and 31 kilograms. If they can bet on water ripples or fish scales, the car will make at least twice as much as the bracelet!
If you are lucky enough to gamble Venus, then the profit is definitely not going to be able to escape five or six times! Venus needs more, the material is fine enough, and a string of 2.0 can easily reach thousands. It is common to meet a rich man with two or three thousand.
Wen Yiming used to pick up finished bracelets at street stalls, and rarely bet on wood directly. In addition to the high price, it is more important that the bet on wood is too difficult. There is an old saying in the industry that it is difficult for gods to break a wood!
In fact, gambling is the same with stones. No one knows whether there is good jade in the stone skin. Even a master who has been playing for a lifetime can only judge by experience. Betting down is common, but the chance of success is higher than that of ordinary people.
This is especially true for wood. After all, jade is produced by crust movement for tens of thousands of years, and the structure inside is relatively stable. Wood is born with natural nourishment and relies on rainwater and land to make a living. Who knows what changes are there?
Wen Yiming picked up a rosewood material with a bowl of fifty or sixty centimeters thick, and put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it hard. The unique fragrance of rosewood came to his nose, but the taste was not too strong and a little pungent, and there was some moisture in it, which was definitely not the old material.
"Boss, what do you mean by this?"
The boss looked up and looked at Wen Yiming, who looked like a student in front of him, and casually said: "351 kilograms, absolutely old materials, and the chance of getting a Venus!"
Wen Yiming frowned, put down what he had in his hand, and said to himself: "Return to the old ingredients? Even if you look at it, you know it is new ingredients. The chicken blood is red. It is said that at least one fifth of the amount is heavy in water, which will cause you to lose your life!"
Of course, this cannot be said explicitly. The gambling is based on eyesight. Just like an antique business, you have the ability to make money and have no eyesight to be fooled. The reason is very simple!
The boss saw that Wen Yiming didn't say anything, and ignored it. In his opinion, the other party was not a big deal, and probably just a student who came to open his eyes casually. It was not worth taking the initiative. He slowly picked up the tea cup and continued to drink tea and listen to music.
Wen Yiming smiled slightly, and he was also happy to be idle. He just took the opportunity to try more and see how accurate the sense of smell was. He squatted down and picked up various woods, first with his eyes, and made a rough judgment based on his experience, and then smelled with his nose to see what level he was at?
"No, there is no old material in a bunch!"
Wen Yiming stood up and turned away a little disappointed. The batch of materials were all new materials. They looked old on the outside, but there was too much moisture inside. It was obviously new materials that were treated with high temperature and cool. When you buy them, not only will you suffer from weight, but you are also afraid of cracking in the future. No matter how expensive the material is, it will be worth the penny!
Wen Yiming looked as he walked, followed the smell and looked at the wood everywhere, gradually getting better. In his perception, the smell became more and more distinct. The market generally had the most goods, such as a calm lake. Occasionally, a stunning look appeared, either distant or elegant, as if a fish was rising out of the water, waving waves.
"Huh? I've discovered it!"
Just as Wen Yiming walked to the corner of the market, he suddenly felt a shock. He caught a trace of abnormality in sensitivity. He quickly followed the smell and came to a pile of wood.
"Boss, what is the price of this material?"
He picked up a piece of rosewood material that was more than 30 cm long, which was only the size of an adult's arm and was covered with soil. It seemed that it had just been shipped and the merchant had not had time to organize it.
"Which?" A middle-aged woman walked over and looked at it, saying casually: "My little brother is really eye-catching. These are all real old materials that have just come in from India. The materials for chariots and horses are absolutely top-notch!"
"Carriage and horse material?"
Wen Yiming curled his lips. The so-called carriage and horse materials are jargon. Rosewood is not scarce in India. Many locals use it to build houses and tools. Carriage and horse materials are wood used to make tools. Because it takes a long time, the wood is relatively stable and will not crack or cause other problems.
"The carriage and horse materials are not necessarily the same? I can only count the old materials, give me a real price!"
"Let me see!" When the woman heard that the other party was an expert, she picked up the wood and weighed it. It was less than two kilograms, and said with a smile: "Brother is also an expert. Today I will open a ticket for me, and you can take it away with a thousand!"
"One thousand is too expensive!" Wen Yiming shook his head and said, "Seven hundred!"
"Seven hundred won't do it! At least nine hundred and five!"
"The most are seven hundred and five, why don't I go around again!"
Wen Yiming turned around and was about to leave. The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and shouted: "Okay, take it away!"
Wen Yiming did not give money on the spot, but looked at other materials, and finally took out the money, picked up the wood and turned around and left.
"Haha, you've made a lot of money!"
Wen Yiming couldn't help but pick up the wood, sniffed hard, and said excitedly: "Venus! There is definitely Venus!"
In his opinion, this piece of wood not only tastes much deeper than other materials, but is undoubtedly an old material, but also has many other odors mixed in the middle, with stars and a whole piece of material.
"At least half full of Venus, maybe two full of Venus can be produced, but that's a treasure that's thousands of dollars!"
The so-called Venus is a metal spot produced by the growth of red sandalwood. When the wood conduit absorbs other minerals in the soil, it is polished and shines like stars. It is very beautiful. As long as there are Venus, the price will at least double. If the number of Venus is large, more than half, or even all of them are available, it is definitely a rare boutique.
No wonder Wen Yiming was excited. You should know that the wood in his hand can produce at least six or seven 2.0 bracelets, each string is at least one thousand up, half full of Venus and three thousand up. If there is really a full of Venus, you can’t even think about it without eight thousand!
With less than 800 costs, the profit will be more than ten times the profit. Who wouldn’t be excited about it?
Only then was Wen Yiming truly sure that he had magical powers and embarked on a promising golden road! Who said that only the perspective golden hand can get a bargain? The nose spirit can still do it!
"continue!"
Thinking of this, Wen Yiming became even more excited. He kept wandering around piles of wood, and carefully experienced the different flavors. Most of them are red sandalwood. There is an old saying in the wood industry, one yellow, two black, three red and four white!
Needless to mention, yellow rosewood is worth ten thousand gold, and it has been the favorite of literati and scholars since ancient times. Especially Qiongzhou yellow rosewood, after hundreds of years of mining, it has basically disappeared, and there are very few large materials. Generally, small materials appear on the market, which can only be used for bracelets. Just a string of authentic sea yellow bracelets, not counting the appearance, will cost one or two thousand. If there is a face or a tumor scar, it will be easy to have tens of thousands of pieces, which is more expensive than gold!
Erhei is the red sandalwood, which was not highly valued before the Ming Dynasty. With the development of switches and shipping in the Qing Dynasty, more and more red sandalwood was transported to China. It is graceful and elegant, with delicate texture, especially purple and rich, and is deeply loved by the Qing Dynasty courts.
