The outside of the coffin was painted with a layer of brown-red paint, and the color has faded a lot. Yang Bo remembered that when the old man was still alive when he was a child, he would paint it every year, but Yang's father was too fucked up. When the old man passed away, he actually painted it. The coffin was withheld.
Yang Bo walked over and took a closer look, "What kind of wood is this?"
"It's made of jujube wood, it's very heavy." Mother Yang said.
Yang Bo dug his nails twice, but he felt that the coffin did not look like jujube wood. He took out the key, dug out a small piece of wood, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled, "This is nanmu, not jujube. The wood has Light aroma.¡±
Mother Yang suddenly turned around and interrupted: "Is nanmu more valuable than jujube wood?"
Yang Bo didn¡¯t expect Mother Yang to react so excitedly. He nodded, ¡°It¡¯s more valuable.¡±
"How much can this coffin cost?" Mother Yang asked.
Yang Bo hesitated, "It won't sell for much, probably tens of thousands of yuan."
"Exactly tens of thousands, higher or lower?" Mother Yang asked.
Yang Bo shook his head, "It should be fifty or sixty thousand. I don't know the exact amount. I need to ask the lumber dealer for the price."
Mother Yang looked up and said, "Find someone to help me sell this coffin. I don't want to keep it here anymore."
Yang Bo was a little stunned and nodded subconsciously, "Okay."
After agreeing, Yang Bo thought for a moment and then called Hu Qingqing. Her father was a timber merchant and should know better. However, when Yang Bo called, the other party turned off his phone. Yang Bo thought for a moment and understood. Hu Qingqing must be on the plane.
Yang Bo had no choice but to face Mother Yang and said, "I'm going back to the city now and will give you an answer tomorrow."
"That's fine, just be careful on the road." Mother Yang said.
Yang Bo got into the car and called Li Er. He hadn¡¯t contacted Li Er for a long time. Li Er was still very enthusiastic about Yang Bo as a customer.
Li Er has a wide range of contacts and quickly agreed to help him contact the timber merchants.
Yang Bo drove his car back to the city, and then went straight to the antique market. He needed to find a Xuande furnace to replace the Xuande furnace.
When Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty was in power, in order to satisfy his hobby of admiring incense burners, he ordered the import of a batch of red copper from Siam. In order to ensure the quality of the incense burners, the palace craftsman tremblingly informed the emperor that he wanted to make a good incense burner. It has to be refined six times. After six times, only half of the raw materials will be left.
Emperor Xuande was wealthy and had a strong sense of quality. He immediately ordered the refining to be doubled, refining it twelve times, and adding precious metals such as gold and silver. So the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them together with red copper more than ten times. After great efforts, in the three years of Xuande, the top-quality copper incense stove was finally successfully produced.
This is the origin of Xuande incense burners. These batches of incense burners are all of high quality. From the Xuande period to the Republic of China, antique dealers have been imitating Xuande incense burners without interruption. Some of them are even comparable to the real ones. Yang Bo went to the antique market not to find Authentic, but look for a similar imitation.
??The New Year is not celebrated in everyone¡¯s eyes until the Lantern Festival is over. The antique market is bustling with people, and Yang Bo begins to search carefully.
"It's easy to find an incense burner, but it's not easy to find a similar elephant-eared Xuande burner. Yang Bo searched the entire Chaotian Palace antique market but couldn't find it. After thinking about it, he entered Jiyatang.
Liu Liangyu was a little surprised, "You want to find a bronze elephant ear Xuande stove?"
Yang Bo nodded, "Yes, I'm looking for a fake."
Liu Liangyu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He paused briefly and said, "I'm going to call you and ask, because your request is a bit high, so you may not be able to find it."
Yang Bo smiled and said, "It's okay. If you can't find it, you can use something similar."
Liu Liangyu nodded, turned around and made a call.
Not long after, Liu Liangyu came back and said, "If you find an elephant-eared Xuande furnace, it will be delivered to you immediately. You can see it in a while."
Yang Bo gave Liu Liangyu a thumbs up, "I know that Brother Liu has a lot of connections, so this kind of thing will not be difficult for you!"
Liu Liangyu waved his hand, "Don't put your hat on me. In two years, you will be much better than me!"
Yang Bo laughed, "This is not a high hat."
After a while, a middle-aged man walked in, and Liu Liangyu greeted him, "Boss Zhang, thank you so much! Sorry for making that extra trip!"
¡°You¡¯re welcome, Boss Liu, if you need anything in the future, just come to me, I¡¯d be very happy!¡± Boss Zhang burst out laughing.
??After Boss Zhang put down the Xuande stove, Liu Liangyu asked Yang Bo, "How about this one?"
Yang Bo walked forward and saw that the shape of the Xuande furnace in front of him was almost the same as the one in Tutu Temple. However, this Xuande furnace was too bright and did not look like it had been exposed to the wind and sun, and Yang Bo had to apply paint on it. A layer of incense ash will do.
Yang Bo raised his head and looked towards Boss Zhang, "Can I have time to make it look old in one night?"
Boss Zhang looked over curiously, "Of course it can be done overnight. Which old-fashioned way do you want?"
"To look like it has been used for a long time, it is best to wrap it with a layer of incense ash." Yang Bo said.
"This is simple, just because of the price"
Yang Bo waved his hand, "As long as the quality is good, the price is negotiable."
"Okay, you can just pick it up tomorrow!" Boss Zhang said cheerfully.
Yang Bo negotiated a price with the other party, and finally settled the deal for 5,000 yuan. He also agreed on a specific time and place for delivery tomorrow morning.
After Boss Zhang walked away, Liu Liangyu looked at Yang Bo curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Yang Bo smiled and did not explain.
The next day, Yang Bo went to Boss Zhang to get the Xuande stove. When he saw that the Xuande stove was already covered with incense ash, Yang Bo laughed. As long as anything that can be made old is beyond imagination, there is nothing that cannot be done.
According to the agreement with Li Er, Yang Bo went to a place and met the timber merchant Boss Jiang.
Boss Jiang was about fifty years old, with a slightly bald forehead and a slicked back hair. He looked at Yang Bo with a smile, "What kind of wood do you want to sell, little brother?"
"Coffin, a nanmu coffin!" Yang Bo said.
Li Er stood aside and was shocked when he heard Yang Bo say the word "coffin".
Boss Jiang¡¯s face was a little gloomy, ¡°Boss Li, is this the business you introduced?¡±
Li Er looked at Yang Bo, "This"
Yang Bo shook his head, "If Boss Jiang is not willing, I'd better go find a Feng Shui master. They should be able to sell it."
Boss Jiang was obviously hesitant. To be honest, this business is not too big and cannot make much money, but Yang Bo also makes sense. If he really sells the coffin in its entirety, he can still make a lot of money. , after all, nanmu coffins are rare!
