Start with buying a house

Chapter 29 Unexpected Surprise

According to the data consulted by Ouyang Dehe, although Haihuanghuali has always been a rare wood species, and there were not many left after it was cut in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was not valued after liberation.

In the era of large-scale iron and steel smelting, it was even used as firewood, and it was quite popular because of its good burning and fire resistance.

It wasn't until the early 90s that many well-informed overseas people went to Hailan one after another to buy a large number of private Haihuang furniture, which made Hailan people realize the true value of Haihuang rosewood.

But precisely because of this, almost all Hailan folk furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties has been looted by foreign businessmen.

"Auntie! Do you have any old furniture at home? How about I help you see if there is any old furniture made of sea yellow rosewood." Ouyang Dehe said with a heartbeat.

"You can take a look if you want! Did you also come to us to buy rosewood?" Auntie Li said curiously.

"I'm just curious. I'm here to have fun, just to travel, understand?" Ouyang Dehe said shyly.

"That's about the same, I said you are too young, you should not be the one who came to buy rosewood." The Li woman said with a smile.

"Does the purchase of rosewood have anything to do with age? Why can't I be the one who came here to buy rosewood?" Ouyang Dehe asked a little puzzled.

"Young people know these things. Don't tell me that you are either from Qiongdao or from Qiongdao. You are so young and don't know how to distinguish the quality of rosewood. At most, you can only smell the fragrance of sea yellow rosewood. Only then did I realize that it is Haihuang rosewood." The Li woman explained while introducing Ouyang Dehe into her home.

"And people have come to see it before, so don't get your hopes up."

After entering the house, the Li woman pointed to the few furniture in the house and said, "Just look around! There are not many decent pieces of furniture in the house."

The houses of the Li women are not the traditional boat-shaped houses of the Li people. They should have been built by the previous government and distributed to the villagers of the Li people for free.

It may have been built for a long time, and it looks a bit old, but in this house, don't expect to find leaks and touch the beams and pillars of sea yellow rosewood.

The furniture was covered with a thick layer of red paint. After a long time, the paint has peeled off in many places, but it is not easy to recognize.

Seeing this, Ouyang Dehe was inevitably a little disappointed.

But this is also normal, if it is so easy to receive sea yellow rosewood, and there is still waiting for him to buy it.

"How is it? Can't you see it?" The Li woman said when she saw Ouyang Dehe shaking his head.

"This furniture is covered with thick paint, even experienced people can't see it!" Ouyang Dehe said helplessly.

"There is no way. The old-fashioned furniture in the past was like this. It was rat-proof and termite-proof. Even so, it was still bitten by rats. Look at the back of the desk, a piece has been bitten off." The Li woman moved the desk. desk, pointing to the back of the desk.

Ouyang Dehe took a closer look and found that this was really the case.

However, the bite was pitted, and it was impossible to tell what kind of wood it was, but Ouyang Dehe found that the color was very similar to that of huanghuali.

"Auntie, what kind of wood is your desk made of?" Ouyang Dehe asked curiously.

"This must be made of rosewood too! It's quite heavy, but I'm not sure what kind of rosewood it is and whether it's worth the money." The Li woman said, unsure.

"However, there are still some leftover wood from the previous use in the house. The furniture in the house is made of those wood."

"That's it! Can Auntie let me see the remaining wood?" Ouyang Dehe said excitedly.

"Yes! But those logs are all placed in the old house. If you want to see it, then I will show you to see it!"

"Thank you, auntie. It's really valuable and good wood. Don't worry, I will definitely pay a high price to buy it from you. At least the price will be higher than others." Ouyang Dehe said immediately.

"Auntie, why are you the only one in your house? Where's uncle?" On the way to the old house, Ouyang Dehe couldn't help asking.

"I don't know where I went to drink and play cards again? The children are all studying in school, and they only come back once in half a month."

"Oh! Isn't the school able to go home once a week?"

"The traffic here is not very convenient, and it is far away from the school. It is enough to go home once every two weeks."

The old house was not far away, and the two arrived after only a few words of conversation. The old house had been converted into a cowshed and pigsty, and there was a strong smell.

However, Ouyang Dehe was used to herding cattle when he was young, so he is not unaccustomed to it.

"These are all the wood left over from the previous furniture making, you can see for yourself! See if it is the valuable Haihuang rosewood you mentioned?" The Li woman pointed to a pile of messy wood on the attic above. Said.

Ouyang Dehe went to the attic and looked at the logs. There was a thick layer of ash on them, and besides some sawn logs and boards, there was actually a pile of logs.

Ouyang Dehe walked to a pile of logs, took out a short saw prepared in advance from his bag, and sawed at the root of the logs.

As the saw was pulled, the wood chips began to fall down. Ouyang Dehe was surprised to find that he smelled a spicy smell. This feeling really made him very happy.

Although it is not yet certain that this is the yellow rosewood he wants to acquire, there is already great hope.

Soon Ouyang Dehe had already sawed a flat cut, looked at the circles of black lines on the tree ring, then grabbed some sawdust with his hands, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, this smell It was exactly the same as the sea yellow rosewood he had smelled before!

In order to prevent mistakes, Ouyang Dehe continued to verify. He took out the coarse sandpaper and fine sandpaper you prepared from the bag, sanded it once with coarse sandpaper, and then polished it again with fine sandpaper.

Afterwards, he touched the smooth surface and felt it was as smooth as jade. After polishing it with 500 fine sandpaper, the fluorescent surface was faintly revealed. Ouyang Dehe was so excited that he didn't know what to do. But these logs were... Dozens of them!After more than ten years, this is an unimaginable wealth!
But how could there be so many sea huanghuali trees in the house of this Li woman who doesn't understand sea huanghuali?

If the furniture in her house were all made of sea huanghuali, that would be amazing!
"Young man, how do you see it? Are these the kind of valuable sea yellow rosewood you are looking for?" Although the Li woman looked calm, she still had some expectations.

"Well, my experience is limited, so I'm not really sure, but it should be worth some money, but I'm curious, why do you have so much wood in your house?" Ouyang Dehe asked the question in his heart.

Ouyang Dehe had no choice but to doubt that so many precious sea yellow rosewoods appeared all at once, and they were logs. It was a bit too surprising. Suddenly, he discovered that there are so many sea yellow rosewoods.

Although this village is relatively remote, Ouyang Dehe absolutely does not believe that no one has ever entered this village to buy Haihuanghuali wood.
