Heaven Defying Formation Mage

Chapter 511 Mahogany and Iron Pear Blossom

Allow yourself to negotiate?Tian Pangpang rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed: "There is nothing to say about this, so I will go to ask for benefits, isn't it a bit..."

"Teacher Tian, ​​you are really..." Mo Xingnian felt helpless, so he turned his head and looked at He Cha, "He Cha, you can go with Teacher Tian when the time comes! You are so eloquent now, it would be useless if you don't negotiate Already!"

Didn't I just report the ins and outs of the incident just now?How did you become eloquent and suitable for negotiation?He Cha stared with a puzzled expression on his face.

After exhorting He Cha a few words, Mo Xingnian acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, and asked He Cha to visit Tian Zhongguo with Tian Pangpang, while she and Mo Haxiu took a leisurely stroll around this antique shop. township.

The path paved with bluestone bricks meanders, and the houses on both sides are red bricks and blue tiles, exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Stepping on the bluestone bricks step by step, Mo Xingnian stretched his arms and stretched his waist. Looking up at the blue sky, he felt very comfortable.

Mo Haxiu followed her closely, seeing her looking like she was just strolling around, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xing Nian, what are we doing here?"

"Didn't you say you were going around?" Mo Xingnian replied lazily with his eyes squinted, keeping his head up and looking up at the sky.

Is this a good time to wander around?Mo Haxiu opened his mouth, swallowed the question back, and asked again: "We have all gone to Tian's house, why did we move out to live without telling Teacher Tian's parents and Tian's family?"

"Xiao Ziming has seen the two of us, if we live in so grandiosely, wouldn't we tell him clearly that we are here to find a place for Mr. Tian, ​​and let him make preparations in advance?" Mo Xing glanced at him blankly, With a scheming look, "If you want to catch him by surprise, you know? How can you play if you expose your background so early?"

"So that's it!" Mohaxiu nodded in agreement with an appearance of being deeply taught by him, "Okay! Then let's find an inn to stay in, and then go shopping!"

Mo Xing burst out laughing with a "puchi", and tilted his head to look at him: "Xiu, you are so cute! It's already this time, do you think it's suitable for us to go shopping?"

Isn't that what I wanted to say just now?The corner of Mohaxiu's mouth twitched: "Didn't you say to go around?"

"Shopping is shopping, but it's not wandering around!" Mo Xingnian blinked at him, then pointed to the front, "Let's go there and have a look!"

Mohaxiu looked in the direction of her finger, and saw the four characters "Tian Ji Timber" written on the timber store in front of her.

The Tian family is mainly engaged in the timber business, and most of these businesses are in the hands of Tian Zhongyi.This is equivalent to that he holds the economic lifeline of the Tian family, causing most of the Tian family to become vassals of him.

The shop that Mo Xingnian and Mo Haxiu entered is relatively large in this small town, and it is guarded by Tian Zhongyi's confidants.

As soon as the two entered the store, a waiter came up to greet them immediately.

"Both guest officers, what kind of wood do you need?"

"Let's just take a look." Mo Xingnian waved his hand, signaling that the other party doesn't need to introduce himself.

Judging from the age of the man and the woman, they were only in their teens, and the shop assistant was not overly enthusiastic.Seeing that these two kids just came in to have a look, it was impossible to really buy anything, so he just let them go and turned around to greet other customers.

Mo Haxiu couldn't understand the doorway in the wood, and saw Mo Xingnian choosing the wood with a serious look, so he couldn't help but leaned over and whispered in admiration: "Xing Nian, you even know the wood!"

Mo Xingnian held a small sample of rosewood in his hand, and glanced at him with a smile on his face: "Who says I understand?"

"I don't understand that you are still watching with such relish?" Mohaxiu was stunned.

Mo Xingnian put down the red sandalwood sample, and said in a low voice, "Would you know how to pretend if you don't know how to look at it?" I came here to find out the background of Tian's family. If I entered the lumber shop and didn't look at the wood, I'm afraid it would have caused people to be angry. Are you suspicious?So even if you don't buy it, you have to put on a show anyway!
There are many people who choose wood in the wood shop, and many of them go here to choose the wood in person, and then find a carpenter to process it for themselves.Back then, He Sen's father was a carpenter who specialized in making all kinds of furniture for people.

Mo Xingnian has always been suspicious of He Sen's father's cutting corners.As a carpenter, Uncle He is naturally very knowledgeable about wood. It is impossible to find wood to replace it easily. Even if he wants to use it, he will use materials that are very similar to mahogany in inconspicuous places.When a normal person buys furniture, how can he inspect the wood so carefully? Even the Tian family, who is in the wood business, would not be able to dismantle the cradle for inspection, right?

Mo Xingnian walked around the lumber shop, and found that the iron pear wood in the shop was very similar to mahogany, but the color was darker and the texture was harder.So, she recruited a buddy and asked with a sample of mahogany and iron pear wood: "These two kinds of wood look similar, but the price difference is less than half. If someone is shoddy, how can I tell the difference?"

Hearing her question, the store clerk was immediately happy: "Tielihuamu is not a defective product, but it is not as good as this high-quality mahogany. If you want to distinguish it, you should first look at the color and weight. But after applying varnish , the color and luster of the two are almost the same, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but can only be distinguished from the weight. The iron pear flower is heavier than the mahogany, and the same chair that the iron pear flower sits on will be heavier than the mahogany.”

"I see! You are indeed a century-old store with rich experience! Thank you for your explanation!" Mo Xing nodded his head in gratitude, without any hesitation in his praise.

Hearing that she was so polite, the shop waiter was also very happy: "Look slowly, please call me if you have anything to do!" After speaking, he turned around and explained to other customers.

After Mo Xingnian knew what she wanted to know, she didn't plan to stay any longer, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a person rushing in from the door, pointing at the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter and yelling: "Shopkeeper Hao, you are so unkind! I want to buy mahogany, but you actually fooled me with iron pear flower wood! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never end with you!"

Shopkeeper Hao has fair skin, a slender face, a few strands of beard on his chin, and shrewd eyes in his slender eyes.At this time, seeing someone rushing in and scolding him in front of many guests, the shopkeeper Hao couldn't help but his face darkened, and he scolded angrily: "Second Wu, don't be bloody! Our Tianji Timber is a century-old shop, and we have always paid attention to reputation. If you come to buy wood, we welcome you, but if you make trouble for no reason, don't blame us for being rude!"
