Unparalleled Treasures

The old lady smiled, did not answer Xie Jiashan, and asked Xie Jiabao and Xie Jiacheng: "Second child, third child, daughter-in-law, whichever one you like, choose it!"

The three daughter-in-laws all picked three jade ornaments on the desk, while Xie Jiabao and Xie Jiacheng picked two pieces of calligraphy and painting.

The old lady asked Zhou Nan again: "Ninny, what do you like?"

Zhou Nan stretched out her little finger and bit her mouth lightly, then pointed to the purple clay pot on the tree root coffee table and said, "That, the purple clay pot!"

After Zhou Nan said this, he glanced at Zhang Can secretly, but saw Zhang Can frowned slightly, thinking that it was bad, it was wrong, it was not a purple clay pot, but it was obviously only this thing over there, if he said something wrong , what is that?

The old lady smiled even wider, then looked at Zhang Can and asked, "Young man, tell me, what do you think is the most valuable thing in my living room?"

Zhang Can smiled slightly, turned his head and pointed at the tea set in the corner, and said with a smile: "Old man, there are many valuable things in your living room, including calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments, purple sand pots, including those two mahogany furniture. Ah, these are all worth some money, but the most valuable thing is the wooden plate on the root coffee table, that is, the dark wooden plate containing the purple clay pot, that thing is the most valuable!"

Except for the old lady, everyone else was stunned. The three Xiejiashan brothers and their daughters-in-law did not expect that Zhang Can actually said that the tea set and plate for drinking tea were the most valuable. Just now when Zhou Nan said that the purple sand pot was the most valuable, they I was a little confused, maybe the purple clay teapot was really valuable, but they didn’t think about it at all at first, this antique, the more precious it must be, the tighter it is to hide, but the purple clay teapot tea set, teapot The teacups were used by the old man to make and drink tea every day during his lifetime. After the old man passed away, they were rarely used. They were placed in the corner and no one touched it. The old lady would occasionally sit and make a pot of tea. They all thought it was a tea cup. The old lady was missing her husband, so she didn't care.

But what is that wooden plate worth?At the end of the day, it's just a small plate made of wood. What is it worth?

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but which one was the most valuable, what Zhang Can said didn't count, it had to be said by the old lady, so everyone turned their attention to the old lady.

At this time, Xie Yong, Xie Jiacheng’s son, bought a box of clock tools, which are micro tools specially used for dismantling and assembling clocks. Let Zhang Can open the watch immediately.

The expression on the old lady's face was not obvious, making her sons and daughter-in-laws not sure whether they were selected or not. Zhou Nan naturally didn't know if it was right, but in her heart, she still believed in Zhang Can. Chan's performance in the gold store surprised her. Although she didn't understand it, she also knew that the skill and the level of eyesight were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Professional training to avoid mistakes. Sales staff who work in formal stores will pass the assessment and can only officially start work after obtaining the work certificate.

"Well, since you have all chosen, I don't want to say more. I just want to hear Xiao Zhang's explanation and his opinions." The old lady still said to Zhang Can with a smile on her face, and let him Explain why you chose the wooden plate.

Zhang Can spread his hands and praised the old lady: "Old man, almost all the things in your living room are genuine, calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments, pen holders, mahogany chairs, tree root coffee tables, purple sand pots, sandalwood tea trays, which one? They are all genuine and none of them are fake.”

Everyone has just heard Zhang Can say that the wooden tea tray is the most valuable, but except for the old lady, no one else understands what is so valuable about the wooden tray. At this time, Zhang Can said the name and said, " Sandalwood", the reputation is not very strange, I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember, what is this sandalwood, just such a wooden plate, even if it is valuable, what is it worth?

Zhang Can had already scanned the living room completely with his black and white eyes. These things were all printed in his mind at the moment, and while thinking, he said: "Those six calligraphy and paintings are really the most beautiful picture of the horse." It is more valuable, but these six paintings are not ancient paintings, they are all modern works, and the painters are not famous masters. Speaking of which, the value of the horse painting should be around [-], and the other five paintings are all The three pieces of jade ornaments picked by the other three aunts are black jade, the texture is average, and the value is about [-]. The jade reclining Buddha is carved from topaz. Generally, it is worth about five thousand. The most valuable jade ornament should be the rooster carved from the bloodstone, which is made by cleverly matching the colors on the jade. It is also medium, so the price will be discounted, it should be worth about [-]."

When Zhang Can said this, he turned around and pointed to the mahogany chair and said: "Let's talk about this side, those two mahogany chairs are some years old. They are real red sandalwood, but they are not the most expensive type. The two chairs can The value is about [-]. The tea table is carved from the root of the tree, and a reclining Buddha is also carved on the surface, holding the tea tray and tea set with both hands. The root coffee table is a very good work of art, in my opinion, it can be worth [-] yuan."

The three brothers of the Xie family and the three women were all in a daze, but they never expected that the things placed in the living room were worth tens of thousands of yuan. They always thought that the old lady hid all the antiques of the old man in the room. Because there were indeed two large locked boxes in the room, but they didn't expect that the old lady put all the valuables in the living room and never touched them. They really didn't expect that these things in front of them , are all genuine products worth tens of thousands!

And what I didn't expect was that the carvings on the tree root tea table could be worth 2 yuan!

Zhang Can pointed to the purple sand pot again and said: "Let's talk about this pair of purple sand pot tea sets, a pot and six purple sand cups. This thing, at least before the end of the Qing Dynasty, was made by a Qing official kiln. The bottom of the pot and the cups They all have official kiln marks and seals, this one is the least difficult to recognize..."

"Brother Zhang, it's a good idea for you to tell me, are these things in my house really worth so much money?"

The most curious one was Xie Yong, the son of Zhou Nan's uncle, the third-year student, who asked curiously.

Fortunately, everyone else was attracted by Zhang Can's explanation, and no one thought about what Xie Yong was thinking. In fact, Xie Yong was thinking in his heart that if he exchanged one for money, he could have a good time with a few good friends. up.

Zhang Can smiled and said: "Let's talk about the wooden plate. This wooden plate is really precious. I think you all know the high-end mahogany furniture. This wooden plate is also mahogany, but it is different from the two mahogany chairs. It is mahogany. The most valuable species in China is called 'red sandalwood'. The preciousness of red sandalwood is mainly because it takes a thousand years to become useful. Besides, after a thousand years of red sandalwood, the trunk is crooked, and there are few straight trunks. The largest The diameter is only about 20 centimeters, which is already the limit. Generally, hundreds of thousands of red sandalwood trees are only about 30 centimeters, and the trunks of red sandalwood trees are twisted and have many holes. There are very few materials, and the more precious the red sandalwood is. Generally speaking, the furniture that red sandalwood can make is very small. The texture is distorted and purple-black. Although the plate is made of wood, it weighs as much as cast iron. What's more rare is that the wooden plate is about [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide, which is extremely rare among red sandalwood The material is of high quality, if you talk about the price, I really can't say..."

The old lady’s eyes became brighter, and she admired Zhang Can very much, but Zhou Nan’s uncles and aunts were all dumbfounded for a while, but Xie Yong stretched out his head and asked: “Then how much is this plate worth?” ? If it is more expensive than those, it must be worth at least one hundred and eighty thousand?"

Xie Yong listened to it for a long time. Those words and paintings, including those teapots, cups, and tree root chairs, were all worth tens of thousands of yuan. The plate is small and easy to handle. If the price is good, it will be easier to get out, so I quickly asked how much this thing is worth.

Zhang Can pondered, he really didn't know much about the value of this red sandalwood. He had heard Lao Su mention it a little bit before. In terms of value, this red sandalwood was more valuable than the golden nanmu he got out of the river in his hometown. The reason why golden nanmu is not as good as red sandalwood is that the trunk of the golden nanmu is big and straight, and it can be used for large-scale furniture. Silk nanmu is more valuable.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Cancai said: "I can't say the exact price, but I can mention that it is rare in the world that red sandalwood is as wide and long as this plate. A rosewood lion statue about 660 centimeters long was auctioned, and the final transaction price was [-] million. Although this plate does not have the sculptor of the lion, it is so wide and so long, and it is really unique. I think its price is also unique. It’s no less than that lion statue, at least, it’s about the same!”

"Oh... more than 600 million? God..."

The people in the hall suddenly exclaimed, Xie Jiashan, Xie Jiabao and other three brothers and their wives all changed their faces in shock. Although they are considered rich, they definitely did not take sixty-seven million yuan as a mistake. What’s more, the main reason is that this wooden plate is worth so much money, which is beyond their imagination. They have seen it every day since they were young, and they never took it seriously, but they didn’t expect it to be worth 700. Thousands of precious things!

But whether it is what Zhang Can said is not certain, and they still need the approval of their mother and old lady. The old lady should know the value of this rosewood plate.

The old lady finally put away her smile, staring at the rosewood plate in a daze.

The old lady didn't speak, the Xie Jiashan brothers were also anxious, and the three daughters-in-law also gathered around and asked, "Mom, is that wooden plate real or fake? Is it really worth so much money?"

The old lady seemed to be obsessed with memories, as if she didn't hear it.

Zhou Nan and Xie Yong stepped forward, one on each side, and gently shook the old lady's arm before shaking the old lady awake.

The old lady said "Oh", looked at Zhang Can and remembered the situation just now, nodded, and then asked: "Young man, then you said that this is a wooden plate made of rosewood, so do you have any way to prove it?"

When the old lady asked such a question, the family's eyes were firmly on Zhang Can again. They didn't know what method he would use to prove it, or there was no way at all, or he was just talking nonsense. It's not rosewood!
