Chapter 728 A Pile of Broken Boxes
Su Jing rummaged through without hesitation. Time passed quickly, and it was dawn. When Shi Qing got up and made breakfast and came down to call Su Jing, Su Jing still didn't see anything of value. Turning it out, he had to go upstairs to have breakfast with Shi Qing first. After breakfast, Shi Qing went to the clothing store, while Su Jing continued to sort out the garbage.
After turning around for a while, he found a lot of tattered boxes. Su Jing picked up one and looked at it. It seemed to be just an ordinary box, so he threw it into the pile of wood, and turned it out one by one, but he turned to the sixth and seventh ones. At the time, his eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw a tattered box. Although the workmanship was very rough, the material did not seem to be simple. Now, although he is not as good as a treasure appraiser, at least his vision has improved.
"My God, this is red rosewood." Su Jing took a closer look and was immediately surprised. The so-called red rosewood is a kind of leguminous sandalwood wood. The new cut surface has a unique sour aroma. It is submerged in water and generally needs to grow for more than 500 years before it can be used. The most obvious difference between it and other woods is that its wood grain often has dark brown or black stripes in the dark red, giving people an antique feeling.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, red rosewood, red sandalwood and huanghuali were also known as the "three major tribute trees" for the court. Now, it is also one of the five famous woods, which is very collectible and expensive.
Of course, red rosewood is also divided into grades. Generally, those with darker color, more oil content and higher density will be more precious, such as Lao rosewood. And the wooden box in front of him is definitely the best red rosewood. Su Jing compared it with the online information and pictures, and felt that the Lao rosewood is simply weak. Such a top-quality rosewood, placed on the earth, would not be used to create such a rough wooden box for holding things, and it would be considered a luxury to create fine furniture if it was seen by Shen Hong, Song Lao and others. When it comes to this box, it will definitely be said to be a waste.
"This reminds me of the golden nanmu box from the time and space of the stars." After Su Jing was surprised, he quickly accepted it. After all, he had even seen the golden nanmu box. However, in this world, even rosewood is used to make wooden boxes, and even if it is broken, it is thrown away as garbage, so it is worth looking forward to.
Su Jing continued to rummage, and became a little uneasy at first, because among the boxes that were found, there were several famous wooden boxes such as wenge and rosewood, and the materials were all of the best quality. Wenge is named for its texture similar to chicken wings. The texture is staggered, clear, and the color is abrupt. It is a relatively beautiful wood among mahogany, with a slight aroma and inconspicuous growth rings. Rosewood is also called Jiangxiang, the sapwood is light yellow, slightly loose, the heartwood is reddish-brown, heavy, dense in texture, and has a special fragrance, which can be used as a spice. These two kinds of wood are relatively easy to recognize, and Su Jing should have made no mistake.
And these famous wooden boxes are also very rough in craftsmanship, with a side length of nearly one meter. It seems that they are definitely not used for decoration or for holding valuables. It's just one kind of famous wood. It's too extravagant to use all kinds of famous wood to make wooden boxes.
"It seems that the world that these garbage comes from is not very simple, at least there are many kinds of famous trees." Su Jing thought, and continued to search, and suddenly found a small box whose workmanship was obviously much finer at first glance. This kind of exquisite carving, the craftsmanship is extraordinary at first glance, and it is still red sandalwood, but unfortunately it has been tattered. When Su Jing turned to the front, his eyes suddenly lit up. The carvings on the front were even more exquisite, and there were actually three exquisite oval spar inlaid. The red in the middle and the blue on both sides seemed to be gems at first glance.
"It's not really a gem, is it? It's too rich to use gemstones in a box." Su Jing thought, released his mental power, and dug out all three spar stones. The three spar stones were crystal clear and pleasing to the eye. It looks like a gem anyway. Su Jing was about to take out a magnifying glass and other tools to take a closer look. At this time, Da Wu and Xiao Wu shouted outside the closed door: "Tang Hao is here, Tang Hao is here."
"Why is he here?" Su Jing was stunned for a moment, but went out to greet him, only to see Tang Hao and an old man in his fifties or sixties standing outside, Tang Hao smiled when he saw Su Jing, "Mr. God, you are so beautiful, you can hear people talking about you everywhere, I also watched your live video, and you can play so many new tricks in the live broadcast, I am really convinced."
"Hahaha, Mr. Wu and Mr. Tang please come in. Mr. Tang came to me to say this, right?" Su Jing laughed.
"Hey, it's not just this, you set up your own auction house, and it's developing very well. I understand that if there are extremely precious gems, you will definitely get them for auction at the auction house, but if you have any leftovers, you can give me some Ah, since you didn't provide me with gems, my jewelry store is going to close down." Tang Hao showed a bitter face.
"Don't come here." Su Jing was speechless. This guy was really exaggerating. Although he lacked the jewelry he provided, it was inevitable that business would decline. After all, top jewelry is not so easy to get, but Tang's Jewelry Co., Ltd. The profit itself is very good, how can it go bankrupt? However, Su Jing still has lapis lazuli, red-silicon-boron-alumite, emerald, etc., and then took out some to cooperate with Tang Hao. In fact, it is not bad. Judging from the previous cooperation, sometimes it is more profitable than direct auction. Much more, he said, "I still have some, let's talk upstairs."
Tang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, this trip really came right. Su Jing took Tang Hao and Wu Lao up to the fourth floor. Tang Hao had seen the golden camellia, Hainan Huanghuali sofa, Hongyun Luohan, etc. on the fourth floor, but they behaved normally, but Wu Lao, who came for the first time, was stunned. .
"Do you still have lapis lazuli, sapphire, or emerald?" Tang Hao said impatiently.
"Hehe, let's not talk about those, I have three gems in my hand. Since Mr. Wu is here, please help me take a look." Su Jing said, the reason why Tang Hao brought Mr. Wu is obvious, that is, if Su Jing has gems , by the way, to identify it, it is better to set a price initially, which is more efficient.
However, Su Jing thought about it. The three gems he had just dug out of the box could be authenticated by Mr. Wu. This would definitely be more professional than himself, so that he would not have to go back to Shen Hong for identification if he was not sure. In terms of jewelry appreciation, Shen Hong and Song Lao are probably inferior to Wu Lao. After all, they are best at porcelain and various antiques, not gems.
"Come out and take a look." Tang Hao and Wu Lao both eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute." Su Jing went down to the first floor, brought up the three gems, and placed them on the table. Both Tang Hao and Wu Lao were attracted, and their eyes were about to pop out.
