My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 157 This Box Is More Valuable
For Zhangmutou Village, this is also an opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich!

And it's done in one step, as long as there is a valuable treasure hidden in the home, it will be a fortune overnight.

"Boss Fang, wait a moment." The boy from the Lin family said quickly.

His house really has something hidden.At the beginning, when my family was a bandit, I robbed the rich man's things. I thought it was useful, so I kept it all the time!
To be honest, if Boss Fang hadn't come to his house today and offered him more than 3 yuan when he saw the things in his hands, even the Lin family would have almost forgotten that there were things hidden in the house.

"Oh? Really? All right!" Fang Xing laughed.

He played with the wrench in his hand and waited patiently.

The group of little guys in the house were finally not so afraid of people. They came closer and looked at each other before waking up the adults who came to their house.

After a while, Lin Weixiang took out a box from inside.

"Boss Fang, look."

Fang Xing opened the box, inside was a colored stone, at first glance, it looked like a gem.

"Hey! What kind of gemstone is this?" Mayor Tang felt that this thing should be quite valuable, right?

However, Fang Xing's words disappointed them.

"It's not a gem, it's a kind of ornamental stone! It's called Yuhua Stone. It's a natural agate stone, also known as aragonite." Fang Xing said.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, literati and refined scholars have paid attention to the mountains and rivers, and they have been proud of the haze. It reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. There are many stories about appreciating stones in the interesting stories of Yashi. , Known as "a national treasure bestowed by heaven, a must in China".

Hearing this, the name is very loud, and it seems very remarkable.

However, its price may make people roll their eyes.

Ordinary Yuhua stones cost a ton directly. In some antique stalls, you can pick them for ten yuan. , Some even grab a handful for 20 yuan.

Of course, there are also boutiques.

A small number of high-quality Yuhua stones may cost several thousand yuan, or even more than one hundred thousand yuan.But those are very few!

Appreciation of Yuhua Stone is the pursuit of "artistic conception". The so-called scenery outside the scene, painting outside the picture, and sound beyond the strings, regardless of poetry, painting, spirit, and rhyme, are contained in the artistic conception, which requires collectors to have a relatively high level of artistic conception. cultural taste.

When appreciating and collecting Yuhua stones, they can be divided into figures, animals, landscapes, flowers and trees, characters, abstract stones, etc. according to their appearance. grade.

Here, that is, precious stones and unrivaled stones are valuable.

"Ornamental stones are also quite valuable, right?" Someone couldn't help asking.

Fang Xing nodded: "It is true that there are ornamental stones that are quite valuable. However, this Yuhua stone can only be said to be average, so keep it for yourself! If you meet someone you like, it may sell for three or two hundred yuan."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xing handed it back to Lin Weixiang, and took the box from him.

"On the contrary, this box is made of yellow rosewood, which is much more valuable than that piece of Yuhua stone."

Uh!
The people present, including Mayor Tang, were astonished.

This reversal made them a little confused!

The most embarrassing one was undoubtedly Lin Weixiang.My family actually used the most expensive box to hold an ordinary stone, and I always thought that stone was the treasure.

This time, I was speechless.

"Is this huanghuali wood? I've heard about it. I heard it's quite expensive." Mayor Tang has never seen huanghuali wood, but he has heard that it is a precious wood.

Huanghua pear is the main material of hardwood furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is favored by craftsmen in Ming and Qing Dynasties because of its yellow color, fine material, soft texture and fragrant fragrance.

Generally speaking, huanghuali has the texture of mahogany and the background color of pear.The pattern that perfectly combines nobility and elegance, stability and atmosphere is an important part of it.

Its texture is changeable, like flowing clouds and flowing water, giving people a soft and quiet feeling; or irregular scarring during the growth process, forming a variety of "ghost faces", but not all huanghuali have grimaces.

With the box in Fang Xing's hand, he saw a "ghost face".

"This thing was originally supposed to be an ink cartridge." Fang Xing said again.

Wooden ink cartridges are a little less common, and the more common ink cartridges in ancient times are copper ink cartridges, which have better airtightness.

In ancient times, because inkstones were not easy to carry around, copper ink cartridges became an important tool to replace inkstones.When the literati went out, they poured ink on the sponge in the ink cartridge. When they needed to write, they dipped the ink directly on the sponge with a brush, which saved the time of grinding ink, which was convenient and quick.

This is a kind of study treasure popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

Copper ink cartridges are divided into red copper, white copper, brass, sterling silver, silver-plated brass, etc. in terms of material, and there is also a "three-inlay" process that combines red copper, brass, and white copper.

During the period when copper ink cartridges were in vogue, many literati and artists not only liked to use copper ink cartridges, but also participated in their creation.For example, in the early days of the Republic of China, famous calligraphers and painters such as Qi Baishi, Chen Shizeng, Yao Mangfu, and Jin Cheng often went to BJ Liulichang to discuss calligraphy and painting skills.

Therefore, Fang Xing was a little surprised when he encountered a wooden ink cartridge.

"How much is it worth?" The Lin family boy asked.

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Don't look at its small box, but it's worth more than 10 yuan."

As soon as these words came out, many people present gasped.

A wooden box is worth more than 10 yuan, which is far beyond their imagination.

Originally, when Fang Xing said that this box was worth more than that stone, everyone thought that if it could sell for tens of thousands of yuan, it would be pretty good.

"Boss Fang, do you want this box?" The Lin family boy was ecstatic.

"Okay, I'll take it! I'll give you 12."

Fang Xing has no choice but to accept the system task, hold his nose!
Soon, the news exploded in Zhangmutou Village, everyone talked about it, and began to rummage through the house.The two items of the Lin family sold for more than [-] yuan, and they became the richest man in Zhangmutou Village in one fell swoop.

If the outside world listens to this, I'm afraid they will laugh out loud. The richest man with a hundred thousand dollars, what kind of richest man is this?

It is difficult to build a building with one hundred thousand yuan, and it is barely enough to buy a domestic car.

However, this is really the richest man in Zhangmutou Village.Before this, the richest person in the village had a savings of barely more than [-], and he was the only family in Zhangmutou Village who did not receive Fang Xing's donation.

"Boss Fang, let's go. I'll take you to another house." The village head said eagerly.

With such a simple and crude opportunity to get rich, the village head and the others hope to see more of them.In this way, the village may be able to transfer the title of the city's number one destitute village.

At this time, even Mayor Tang and other town leaders felt that it was more important to take Fang to wake up and go to each house to have a look and collect valuable old objects.
