Reborn Jewelry

Chapter 335 Catalpa Wood Jewelry Box

Although she knew that she didn't have much hope in going to the countryside to dig out the old house, but when she really faced this scene, Chu Ning was inevitably a little disappointed.

Meng Dongyue was not discouraged, and said to Chu Ning with his usual expression: "Shall we go to the next room to have a look?"

Disappointment flashed through Chu Ning's mind, and she quickly regained her composure and nodded.

Meng Dongyue glanced at Tao Fei.

Tao Fei immediately took the lead, leading the two of them into the small door on the side of the main room.

After entering, Chu Ning realized that the room next to the main room was Uncle Li's bedroom!
It is said to be a bedroom, but in fact this room is similar to a utility room.

Because compared with the slightly empty main room, there are obviously much more things in Uncle Li's bedroom!
Chu Ning estimates that 80.00% of Uncle Li's "family property" is probably stored in his bedroom by him!
In the small room, there is a very old-style canopy bed, beside the bed is a worn-out cabinet and a small wooden table with sundries, and several large wooden boxes are placed on the wall in front of the bed, and they are put together when they are tired.

Not only that, there are household appliances such as rice cooker, freezer, and electric fan in this small bedroom!

It is estimated that these things were bought by Uncle Li's children for him.

Originally, the bedroom wasn't that big, and with so many things piled up, there would be even less space left in the house.

The most important thing is that this old house is backed by a mountain, so the room is not only dark, but also a little damp.

With the indistinct light, Chu Ning even had dots of spots on the quilts on the bed, either mildew spots or mosquito corpses, and they hadn't been washed in the sun for many years.

Chu Ning: "..."

Well, she was sure, she was indeed not suitable to live here.

Although Meng Dongyue and Tao Fei were big men, they couldn't help frowning when faced with the situation in the bedroom.

However, they have no right to dictate other people's lifestyles, so naturally they have the right to ignore it.

Meng Dongyue asked Chu Ning to pay attention to the wooden furniture in the room.

"These furniture are old furniture at first glance. It must have been a few years ago." Meng Dongyue whispered, "However, it is not certain whether they are antiques or not."

Chu Ning nodded slightly.

It's just that the light in this room is really bad, and it's not convenient for people to see the furniture.

Tao Fei handed over two flashlights at the right time.

Chu Ning glanced at him.

Unexpectedly, this man who looks like a big and thick man is quite careful in doing things!
Sure enough, he is an old man in this line of work!

Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning, each with a flashlight, looked at the wooden furniture in the room.

It's a pity that looking at each piece, these wooden furniture are nothing special except that they are finer than the furniture in the main room and have been painted.

Uncle Li is an old man. Looking at the expressions of Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning, he knew that they didn't like anything.

Although it was Tao Fei who was negotiating with him, Tao Fei obviously worked for these two young people, so from the beginning, Uncle Li's attention was on Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to plan to collect the broken furniture in his room, Uncle Li felt a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly said: "By the way, my old lady left some jewelry when she was alive, do you want to see it?"

It's rare for a few people from the city to come to this poor country.Although Uncle Li is not short of money to spend, he is a person who has saved his whole life. Of course, he can earn as much as he can, and he is unwilling to miss a penny.

Meng Dongyue felt that Uncle Li's house would definitely not have anything valuable, but it would be too embarrassing if they ran such a long distance and found nothing in the end.

He glanced at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning was still calm, and said with a smile: "Then please ask Grandpa Li to show us!"

"Okay! Girl, you wait!"

Uncle Li responded cheerfully, and hurried to open his wooden box.

The wooden box was opened, revealing the quilt and big cotton jacket inside.Uncle Li pushed aside the cotton-padded jacket, and took out a red lacquer jewelry box whose paint was almost peeling off.

Chu Ning's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Meng Dongyue's eyelids also trembled.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Li's house looks dilapidated, but there are really good things!
Uncle Li didn't notice the difference between the two of them, holding the jewelry box and sighing: "These jewelry are the dowry brought by the old woman when she married me, and she treasured her for the rest of her life. After the old woman left, I thought I passed these things on to my daughter and daughter-in-law, but they see a lot of good things, so I don’t care about them, so I keep them for myself. But I’m already old, how many years can I live? Sooner or later, I’m going to accompany the old woman, so it doesn’t matter if you want to stay or not. If you can see them, take them away!”

It can be heard that Uncle Li and the deceased Granny Li have a very good relationship.

It's just that Uncle Li now cares more about his children.

The reason why he wants to exchange all these things in the family for money is because he wants to accumulate more wealth for his children?

Uncle Li handed the jewelry box to Chu Ning.

Maybe because Chu Ning is the only girl here, Uncle Li thinks she should be more interested in these things.

Chu Ning took the jewelry box with a calm expression.

Although Uncle Li looks like a good person, what he said is also very touching.But this business is business, she can't miss the loophole just because she is soft-hearted for a moment.

Besides, they have never met Uncle Li, so who can be sure that every word that Uncle Li said is true?

Knowing that Uncle Li valued more the jewelry in the box, both Meng Dongyue and Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't know if the jewelry in the box was worth anything, but they knew that the jewelry box in Chu Ning's hand was really valuable!

Because this box is a rare catalpa wood jewelry box!
Catalpa generally grows in extremely cold regions such as Northeast my country and Russia, and is a high-quality and precious wood facing extinction.

It is as famous as sandalwood, maple and other woods. It is one of the world's famous woods, and it is also known as "wood king" and "golden tree".

The growth period of catalpa is very slow, and it takes at least 60 years from planting to growing to the point where it can be taken at will.In addition, its wood is moderately soft and hard, smooth and wear-resistant, its colors and patterns are also very beautiful, and its texture is tough and delicate. It has always been loved by people and is often used to make various furniture.

But because of this, there are fewer and fewer catalpa woods today, and the prices are getting higher and higher.

The catalpa wood on the market has long been priced in units of cubic meters, and the asking price is several thousand yuan per cubic meter!
Meng Dongyue's Meng family is considered one of the top wealthy families in Hanzhou.But even so, the Meng family did not have furniture made of catalpa wood, which shows how rare and precious catalpa wood furniture is.
