After paying the bill, Su An wanted to say hello before leaving, but he didn't see Yang Ting after a round. He didn't know that Yang Ting was so embarrassed and regretful that he wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground. He didn't dare to see him at all and kept hiding in the back kitchen. Su An had to leave first without seeing anyone. It's better to work after eating. He drove an electric tricycle, and the horn sounded in the car filled the whole street. He was stopped by someone as soon as he turned into a street. "Little brother, you are a waste collector, right?" The one who stopped him was a 40-year-old woman wearing a sun hat and waving her hand vigorously. Seeing that business was coming, Su An stepped on the brakes. As soon as the car stopped, he stuck his head out and asked, "Yes, boss, do you want to sell scraps?"

"Yes, but the scraps are not here. Give me a ride. I have a store in the second-hand furniture market in front. There are a lot of scraps in it."

As the aunt said, she stretched out her hand to open the car door and sat down on the seat next to her.

This smooth action made Su An unable to do it.

"Drive, why are you still standing there? This damn weather, it was quite cool when I came out before, but as soon as the sun came out, it was as hot as being in a steamer!"

The aunt took off her hat and fanned hard, complaining non-stop.

Su An sighed and said, "I don't know the address, please show me the way, boss."

"Okay, it's just in front."

The aunt replied.

Following the route provided by the aunt, they arrived at the second-hand furniture market more than ten minutes later.

The aunt directed Su An to drive the car to the door of her store all the way.

After parking the electric tricycle, Su An also got off the car.

"Boss, where are the waste products? I can help sort them out and weigh them."

As soon as the auntie got off the car, her face changed, and she waved her hand impatiently, "I don't need your help, just wait."

Helpless.

Su An had to wait at the door.

While waiting, he found that the store not far in front was surrounded by people.

In this hot summer, people can still squeeze in, which means that there are either good things or big gossips inside!

People like to join in the fun, and Su An is the same.

He just wanted to go over to take a look, and the auntie who entered the store came out.

Holding a waste cardboard box in her hand.

"Okay, this is just this cardboard box, you weigh it, but don't use the scale!"

The auntie was afraid that she would suffer a loss, and said with a vigilant face.

Su An was speechless and complained: "...Your cardboard box doesn't even weigh one pound, it can't even be weighed, how can you use a scale?"

"What do you mean, do you want to get it for free? Young man, why do you always want to do good things!"

The auntie hid the cardboard box behind her cautiously, fearing that Su An would ask her for the box.

Su An was not stupid, and understood it instantly.

This auntie didn't have any waste at all, she just wanted to take a ride. After all, it would cost more than ten yuan to take a taxi for a journey of more than ten minutes, and she took his car by the way on the pretext of selling waste, without paying a penny!

This is the real freeloader!

"Well, it's my bad luck."

Shaking his head, Su An got in the car, unwilling to pay attention to this stingy and calculating auntie, and drove towards the lively crowd.

Parking the car at the side of the alley, Su An squeezed into the crowd.

Through the gap, he saw that the second-hand furniture store was surrounded by people. There were two men and an old man in his fifties. The three were discussing something. Next to them, there was a simple wooden box about half a meter long. The wooden box was purple-red all over. Under the sunlight, it had a warm texture like jade.

The old man asked with surprise: "Boss, are you telling the truth? My wooden box is really made of Hainan Huanghuali, and it is very valuable?"

The other two men were fat and thin. The thin man was in his twenties and his name was Deng Fei. The fat man was in his thirties and his name was Jiang Cai.

Hearing this, the two glared at each other, blaming each other for getting carried away and saying the real value, which messed up the business.

Deng Fei was unhappy, but he smiled and nodded affirmatively: "It's true. My family also runs a second-hand furniture store. I know a lot about furniture wood. Your wooden box is obviously made of Hainan Huanghuali, which is a bit old!"

He patted the wooden box and said: "Hainan Huanghuali is produced in Hainan Province. It is one of the four precious woods. It has high density and stable wood properties. It will not deform, crack or bend under wind and sun. It has a certain toughness. Huanghuali wood is golden yellow, while your wooden box is reddish brown, which is a darker heartwood. Look at the texture on it. The texture is very clear. If you look closely, it looks like a 'ghost face'.

This is also a major feature of Hainan Huanghuali. In addition, Huanghuali also has a faint scent of sandalwood, so it is also called sandalwood. This smell is refreshing, fresh and soft, and has a certain medicinal effect on hepatitis. "

The old man was excited when he heard it and said, "You are right. This box does have a very comfortable smell when you smell it up close. I always thought that it was the fragrance added to the paint, but it turned out to be the fragrance of the wood itself."

Deng Fei nodded and continued, "This Hainan Huanghuali was the favorite wood of officials and royal families in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was often used to make jewelry boxes and furniture. Because of this, it was over-cut and almost extinct in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Later, red wood was used. Because of this, the number of Hainan Huanghuali on the market is scarce, and they are basically old wood from the past. And your wooden box should also be left over from the past!"

"My family's furniture store is just in front. Why don't you bring this box to my store and we can discuss the price! ”

Jiang Cai couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "The customer came to me first, it's not good for you to steal the business halfway!"

"Why is it not good? I didn't sell the things to you!"

The two quarreled.

Su An saw the two quarreling and asked the aunt next to him: "Auntie, what's going on? Are they fighting over this box?"

The aunt said with envy: "Yes, this uncle brought a wooden box to this store to sell, saying that he didn't need this box because his family was going to buy new furniture, so he was going to sell it for 100 yuan. As a result, just when Boss Jiang was about to take it, this young man Deng came over and insisted on buying it for 500 yuan. The two argued back and forth, and the price was raised higher and higher. Neither of them was willing to let go. As a result, he just said that this box was made of Hainan pear wood, and now they are arguing again! "

After listening to the whole process.

Su An finally understood.

It turned out that Boss Jiang was trying to pick up a bargain, but this guy surnamed Deng saw it and was not happy about it, so he wanted to buy it at a high price. The two of them probably didn't have a good relationship, and neither of them was willing to give in. Later, the guy surnamed Deng was so angry that he directly revealed the true value of the wooden box!

No wonder I felt a strong smell of gunpowder between the two as soon as I came in.

Now the two of them are fighting even more fiercely. Both of them want to take down the wooden box, and neither of them is willing to give in!

[Hainan Huanghuali? This is one of the four famous woods, top-grade wood!]

[No Wrong, I heard that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty liked to use Hainan pear wood to carve furniture and chairs, and even the dragon throne was carved from Hainan Huanghuali! ]

[If you ask me, these two are also stupid. Wouldn't it be better to discuss the price privately? Each of them can buy it for half and spend a few hundred yuan. Now that the real value has been revealed, the price will definitely go up, and you can't even pick up a bargain! ]

[Everyone is selfish and wants to monopolize it. If you were in the situation at that time, you probably wouldn't be willing to give in. ]

[What a pity, if Brother Su had come earlier, it would have been better. With Brother Su's eyesight, he would have picked up this bargain! ]
