Unparalleled Treasures

Naturally, the three girls couldn't tell anything. After looking at it for a long time, they still felt that the jade wrench finger might be the best, followed by the thick gold chain worn around the neck, and those gold rings. The worst should be the one. silver ring too.

Zhu Senlin is naturally much stronger than the girls. After looking at it for a while, he still pointed to the jade wrench and said, "This jade wrench should be valuable, of course, except for the cigarette stick my brother mentioned, but I would like to ask Take a moment, this tobacco rod is black and not slippery, it is only a few inches long, and the front and back are made of iron, how much is such a piece of wood as thick as a finger worth?"

After Zhu Senlin got the golden nanmu brought back from his hometown by Zhang Can last time, he knew a little more about wood, and also knew the value of golden nanmu, but the wood of Gu Jiulong's small cigarette was a little black, It doesn't look like golden nanmu, and if you look at the price, the golden nanmu that is as big as a beam is worth more than 100 million, and this tobacco rod is only three inches long and as thick as a finger. In this regard, even if it is made of golden nanmu, calculated proportionally, the value of this cigarette rod is only tens of thousands of yuan at most.

Or Gu Jiulong's cigarette rod is indeed only worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the other things on him are worthless, so the cigarette rod is considered to be the most valuable.

But Zhu Senlin also knew that whether it was worth the money or not would not be known until Zhang Can came to explain.

Zhang Can looked at the meditating old man. The old man must have been shocked by his words. Naturally, he didn't know his ability to see through black and white eyes. This was beyond the ancient man's imagination.

"Well, Lao Zhu said a little bit, so I'll talk about it again!" Zhang Can smiled, and he was not polite. As the saying goes, excessive modesty is pride, and Zhang Can is naturally not the kind of person who is proud.

"First of all, let me talk about the seven ancient rings and chains. Among the seven rings, only the silver ring has a little value. The others, including the jade wrench, are all fake."

Zhang Can's words startled everyone present!

The three girls were not very surprised, but Zhu Senlin and Gu Jiulong were more surprised, especially Gutou, who was already surprised when Zhang Can said that cigarettes were the most valuable, and now he said that these rings are also It is very accurate, and then think about Zhu Senlin's introduction, saying that Zhang Can is a master of masters, is it true?

Is this young man named Zhang Can really that strong, so strong that his eyesight is better than his?

Although the old man was puzzled and astonished, he still didn't ask first. He wanted to see what surprises Zhang Can would say later.

Zhang Can pointed to some rings on the coffee table, took one casually, shook it in his hand, then put it down, and said, "These rings are actually not gold, but copper mixed with other non-ferrous metals, and The density is similar to that of gold, so the color and weight also look similar, which will definitely make ordinary people misunderstand that it is gold, and that jade wrench..."

Zhang Can pointed at the jade wrench again and said, "That jade wrench is not jade at all, but made of glass. It has been processed and has high technological content. Some super-hard elements have been added to the glass. After high-temperature treatment, it is made of glass. The hardness is much harder than ordinary glass, and the hardness of jadeite is the highest among jade. If the hardness is only measured, this kind of specially made glass is not much worse. Then it is tested in terms of color transparency and so on. They will all be fooled!"

Listening to Zhang Can's explanation, the old man squinted his eyes, feeling uncertain in his heart, because this kind of high-tech product has not been released for a long time, and it is rarely released in the world. He also gave the ring to many colleagues After testing, no one could see that it was a fake, but Zhang Can was a little strange, because he really only saw it with his eyes, and he didn't even touch it with his hands!

At that time, Gu Jiulong suspected that Zhang Can had seen this new technology product, otherwise he would not have such good eyesight. He had only seen it, or been fooled, or had a relationship, and had obtained this product. Then take it out to deceive others, otherwise, with Zhang Can's age and knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to recognize this thing.

Gu Jiulong hesitated, and Zhang Can said again: "These rings all have some technological components, especially the jade ring ring, but the thick chain is completely fake, and the inside should be made of iron. So the weight is there, but the surface is plated with gold water, and only the surface layer is gold, it looks very thick, but in fact it should be the least valuable!"

"Is it real?" Liu Xiaoli took the thick chain, turned it over and looked at it. She had much better eyesight than her younger sister Liu Xiaoqin and Zhang Hua, but she also couldn't tell if the chain was real or not.

But Zhang Can was very accurate about the seven rings and one chain, and the most valuable thing was the tobacco rod, and he was also accurate, but he still didn't tell the origin of the tobacco rod.

The old man pondered, and seeing Zhang Can looking at him with a smile, he nodded, and then said: "Boss Zhang, tell me again, my cigarette is the most valuable, so where is the value?"

Zhang Can smiled and said: "I don't know if Gu Gu has heard such a saying: 'Even if there is a box full of gold, it is not as good as the ebony one!' Is this tobacco rod made of ebony?"

"Hiss..." Gu Jiulong couldn't help gasping, and was speechless for a long time!

This Zhang Can, when we met for the first time, I wanted to embarrass him, but I didn't expect him to shock me even more!

Gu Jiulong was stunned for a while, and then asked again: "Since you said it was made of ebony, do you know about ebony and have you seen ebony?"

Zhu Senlin had never seen Wumu before, but he said with a smile: "Old Gu, if brother Zhang has never seen Wumu, how could he recognize it?"

Zhang Can said with a smile: "Actually, this ebony has several other names, such as sinking wood, oolong wood, oriental godwood, etc. In ancient times, there were many precious woods in primeval forests. In earthquakes, mountain torrents and other natural The tree stumps buried deep in rivers, lakes, and oceans during the disaster, these stumps and dead trees were soaked and ground by sediment and water in the bottom of the water, and gradually changed their original physical properties, and the material was strengthened. After grinding, these sunken woods will be carbonized. Generally, sunken woods are effective for at least three to four thousand years, and those with more than 4000 years are normal, and those with tens of thousands of years are considered to be of high quality. Sunken wood does not deform, has a heavy weight and high density It will never be eaten by insects. The ancient sunken wood can be compared with red sandalwood. It is the essence of the tree, the soul of the wood, and the utensils made of ancient sunken wood. They are usually at the bottom of the deep sea, rivers and lakes, and it is extremely difficult to obtain them. There are very few sunken wooden utensils that can survive in the world, so there is a saying that "even if there is a box full of gold, it is not as good as the ebony side". In fact, after the Qing Dynasty, ebony no longer belongs to the category of wood, and has been included in the category of 'treasures', but..."

Zhang Can's words already made his younger sisters Zhang Hua, Liu Xiaoqin, Liu Xiaoli, and Zhu Senlin feel like they were dreaming, and Gu Jiulong was also a little crazy. He didn't know that Zhang Can seemed impossible to have those words. How can young people who know so much know so much?

If you just said that those rings of his are fake and worthless, those reasons may be known from other sources, but his tobacco rod is indeed made of sunken wood, and it is not easy for him to get it. He never leaves his body all year round and carries it with him at all times, but he has always used it for smoking, so no one doubts that his tobacco rod is a good thing.

But when the old man heard Zhang Can say "but", he was also shocked. His sinking wooden tobacco rod is extremely precious, and he knows its value. Zhang Can is the first person other than himself to recognize it. What came out already surprised him, and Zhang Can's tone seemed a little inappropriate at this time, which surprised the old man, and hurriedly asked: "Boss Zhang, you are talking about it, but what? What's wrong? Or is this thing fake too?"

Zhang Can shook his head and said: "This thing is not fake, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is a valuable thing. It is true that sunken wood is rare and more expensive than gold. But I mean, it is a pity that the raw material of this tobacco rod It's just a relatively common material among sunken woods, not the most precious kind of "dark wood". The value of dark wood can be said to be truly unparalleled among woods, and it has far exceeded the value of rosewood. Of course, it must be ancient. I also know that among the trees, red sandalwood is the most important, but the sunken wood has actually been soaked and polished by sea cement and sand for thousands of years, and it is no longer a wood, just like oil and coal, which are also made of wood, but Can you call it wood?"

Hearing this, Gutou heaved a long sigh of relief. It turned out that his pipe was not unprecious, not worthless, but not the most precious 'gloomy wood'!

Gu Jiulong himself knows the preciousness of gloomy wood. The origin of gloomy wood is rare and precious in the world, and it can be compared with any jewel or jade. It is rare, has a low yield rate, is non-renewable, and the probability of obtaining it is too small, so it is the best of the sunken wood.

The old man stared at Zhang Can for a while, couldn't help but smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Boss Zhang, I am very unconvinced when I hear Lao Zhu talking about you, I never believe that a young person can be so strong." Eye skills, I only think that you rely on luck, but now it seems that I was wrong, and I was wrong too much. It turns out that in the antique industry, there is also a thing of the Yangtze River. With my eyesight, I don’t think I’m qualified to carry shoes with you!”

"Hehe..." Zhang Can couldn't help laughing. Although this old man is pedantic, he likes his personality. He is straightforward and refuses to admit defeat. But if he really convinces him, he will definitely admit defeat. Well, it's hard to find such a person who doesn't value face.

Zhang Can is absolutely satisfied with Gutou's coming to the shop as a master chef. Gutou's appraisal skills are definitely very good. The head is much worse!

Zhang Can said with a smile immediately: "Old, in fact, I was just lucky. I happened to come across a book that recorded sunk wood before. I read it carefully. When I saw an ancient tobacco rod, I really paid attention to it. When we arrived, I also tried to guess, but unexpectedly, this guess was right!"

Gu Jiulong shook his head and sighed: "Boss Xiao Zhang, you don't have to hide it. You are not only good in appraisal skills, but also have a good heart. This is an even rarer thing. I think that my job is really worth it." Already!"
