Play treasure master

Chapter 575 Abandon Gold and Silver, Take Sandalwood

Yu Yao thought for a while, "You said 180 million, I also use that number, but it's only [-]."

"What?" Zhang Yiming seemed not to believe his ears.

"One thousand and eight hundred yuan." Yu Yao repeated every word.

"Brother!" Zhang Yiming suddenly changed his title, "Are you kidding me?"

"Boss Zhang, you said it yourself, asking for a lot of money, and paying back the money on the ground. Why is it a joke once I pay it back?"

"Okay, okay, I'm busy. Mr. Yu is a master! You must be very busy, so I won't stay!"

"It's not in vain." Yu Yao raised his hand and pointed to a wood carving on the shelf closest to the counter, "If you don't want to sell silver medals, I still want to see this."

This wood carving is brownish-yellow, like a big seal.The height is eleven or twelve centimeters, and the side length is about eight centimeters.The part of the seal button is carved in a special way, not in the shape of a dragon, phoenix or animal, but a three-dimensional landscape.

The mountain is meandering, undulating and circling, very imposing, and there are rivers running in the valley; in the close view, there are pavilions, woods, and pools on the mountainside.Around the seal button, there is also a circle of auspicious cloud patterns carved.

"Oh?" Zhang Yiming was taken aback for a moment, "Mr. Yu still has research on woodcarving!" He changed the title again.

"It looks like sandalwood, it's interesting. It's good to play with." Yu Yao smiled slightly, "I feel a little sorry for bothering Boss Zhang for so long and not giving you some money."

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Yiming laughed loudly, "It's indeed sandalwood. Since Mr. Yu has taken a fancy to it, I'll bring it here for you to take a closer look."

Sandalwood, also called white sandalwood by some, was not found in China at first, and was mainly produced in India, Indonesia, and Africa. Later, it was introduced and successfully cultivated in parts of southern China.

The biggest feature of sandalwood is its fragrance.The scent of wood can be clearly smelled when made into bead string toys, and it is also very good to burn incense with broken wood.

The so-called Shen Tanlong musk, agarwood, sandalwood, ambergris, musk; it is also one of the four famous spices.

Among the sandalwood, the most famous variety on the market today is Indian Laoshan sandalwood. The darker the flesh, the better the quality. Players generally like to call it "black meat old material".

However, Yu Yao noticed this sandalwood carving, not because of the material, but because it feels old enough.

Yu Yao picked it up and took a look, it really was a seal!Sure enough, it is old enough!
Moreover, because the size is not small, the printed text is clear, and the printed text can be read at a glance:

The treasure of Daoguang Yulan.

After reading the seal, Yu Yao smiled and looked at Zhang Yiming at the same time.

Zhang Yiming couldn't see what it meant from Yu Yao's smile, and for this kind of thing, his level was far worse than that of copper, gold and silverware.He brought this seal together when he was collecting a batch of copper incense burners, and it looked pretty, so he placed it next to a Panlongding-style burner on the shelf.

"Mr. Yu, is it good enough?" Zhang Yiming laughed.

To be honest, he could tell that the seal was not new, but he couldn't understand how old it was, he couldn't tell whether it was 20 years or 200 years.The most important thing is that there is a "Treasure of Daoguang Yulan" engraved here!
He also checked, "The Treasure of Daoguang Yulan", isn't it jade? !
This kind of emperor's seal is not a formal seal. Although the same seal may have multiple seals of different materials; but the sandalwood one is really a bit unreasonable. If you want to say that the small seal is okay, this square and big It seems impossible to use wood for the seal.At the very least, it is easily damaged and not easy to store for a long time.

The things used by the emperor don't last long, so it seems a little bad, right?In the Qing Dynasty, it seemed that only an old lady like Cixi liked to use sandalwood seals.

Therefore, based on this alone, he felt that it was impossible for Emperor Daoguang to be idle.

Yu Yao didn't respond, and smiled at Zhang Yiming again, but flipped his hand over again, and slightly shook the inscription on the vertical surface of the seal towards Zhang Yiming.

On the vertical surface of this sandalwood seal, there is indeed an inscription engraved: the light of mountains and rivers, carry forward in the heart, carry the momentum, and use softness and strength.

And there is a signature: determined.

The lettering is running script, and the engraving is very skillful. It is written with a knife, which is powerful and elegant.

But just because of the inscription, Zhang Yiming further determined that this could not be the idle chapter of Emperor Daoguang!The things used by the emperor, even if they are not official seals, have to be handled by the manufacturing office. How can it be possible for craftsmen to inscribe and sign the seals casually?
Moreover, this "determination" is unheard of, and the investigation is fruitless.

After Zhang Yiming yelled, Yu Yao was basically convinced that Zhang Yiming couldn't understand this thing!
So, he showed the inscription to Zhang Yiming again.If you don't understand it, this inscription is even more proof that this thing is most likely a fabricated handicraft!

Sure enough, seeing Yu Yao like this, Zhang Yiming waved his hand lightly, "I won't talk about anything else, if Mr. Yu wants it, then let's see and give him a price!"

Yu Yao didn't hesitate this time, "This thing is very interesting, and it will last for ten or twenty years. So, it's still one thousand and eight, how about it?"

Zhang Yiming heard it, "Mr. Yu, even if it is a handicraft that has just been made, this piece of high-quality sandalwood spice is more than one thousand and eighty, right? Let's look at the carver again, and let's talk about it alone. , It’s not something that can be carved by someone in one thousand and eight!”

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

This piece of sandalwood wood is of high quality. Just buying a similar piece of wood costs thousands of yuan. At the same time, the carving work is really good. A woodcarver with this kind of skill is not an ordinary master. Wood is also expensive.

"Mmm..." Yu Yao replied vaguely, noncommittal.

Yu Yao already offered such a low price, Zhang Yiming simply let it go, "Even if this 'Treasure of Daoguang Preview' is worn away and treated as a handicraft without printed text, you shouldn't offer [-]!"

Yu Yao put down his seal and got up, lit a cigarette, and took two steps, as if hesitating.In fact, he was already happy in his heart. Talking about it as a modern handicraft is a leak no matter what!
"That's fine, Boss Zhang, offer the lowest price!" Yu Yao stood still and said.

Zhang Yiming pondered for a while, "If you want me to tell you, I'm afraid I have to add another zero, eighteen thousand!"

"It's high!" Yu Yao immediately waved his hands.

"Mr. Yu, I have the ability to collect this thing. You have good eyesight and you are a meat eater. At least let me handle the soup, right?"

The two of you came and went and talked for three to five minutes.In the end, Yu Yao won the seal with an integer of 5, and Zhang Yiming put it in a brocade box of a suitable size.

After the business was done, Zhang Yiming's attitude became better, and he asked Yu Yao to have a light meal tonight.Yu Yao didn't care whether he was sincere or not, after directly refusing, he took good things and left immediately.
