Jianbao life

Chapter 93
When the four young people heard this, they also wanted to see what good things could be washed out of this rotten wood, so they agreed.

The five of them got up and walked towards the exit together. It took about half an hour to accompany Mr. Yu through the transaction process of this piece of wood.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Mr. Yu specially called the best carpenter in Fulong Street to come over to prepare the materials before going through the process. When he came out, the master was already waiting.

That piece of wood was very heavy, so I found a cart and walked all the way to the master's workshop.

The master was very excited when he heard that Mr. Yu was going to clean the gloomy golden silk nanmu he had just photographed, and he was gearing up and waiting.

"His name is Uncle Huang." Mr. Yu first introduced, "This is one of the most trustworthy masters in Lao Mo's hands. Whenever there is any wood on Fulong Street, he is called to handle it."

The four young people all said hello together: "Hello, Uncle Huang." They also sat with Mr. Yu and waited for the ingredients to be cut.

Uncle Huang waited in the workshop for a while, full of joy, looking forward to some good material.

Uncle Huang stretched out his hand expectantly and lifted the red cloth covering it. He heard that there will be two particularly good materials today, both of which are gloomy wood and golden silk nanmu.

But when Uncle Huang lifted the red cloth, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, and there was no expression on his face that he shouldn't have. If Uncle Huang's thinking is too superficial, this seemingly rotten wood may be a piece of wood. Head covering?
"Mr. Yu, you bought this piece of wood, are you sure you want to open it?" Uncle Huang walked over to put on his work clothes by himself, and confirmed with Mr. Yu again.

Mr. Yu nodded with a smile: "Let's open it, I'm also looking forward to what good things can come out of it."

"Okay." Uncle Huang responded, nodded and prepared to start his work.

This gloomy wood, Phoebe nanmu, was buried in the mud in low-lying places such as ancient river beds due to some unknown earthquakes, floods, and mudslides, under the action of microorganisms such as anoxic, high pressure, and bacteria.

After thousands of years of carbonization to form dark wood, it is also called "carbonized wood".

It has been passed down from generation to generation by master carpenters of all dynasties, and they all use the handicrafts made of this gloomy wood as things to ward off evil spirits.Therefore, there is also the ancient saying: "A half square of dark wood in a home is better than a box of treasures."

However, Uncle Huang didn't hold out much hope that any high-quality wood could be produced, but Mr. Yu valued this wood so much, Uncle Huang also had to pay attention to it. First, he looked at this rotten wood carefully, and considered How to remove the outer layer of rot.

However, the loss of this piece of wool is also very considerable.

This kind of dead wood stump deeply buried in rivers and lakes, as time goes by, is soaked and shaped in the bottom sediment, and the internal fat and sugar of the wood are completely dissolved in the water.

If it was buried too long ago and completely lost its original wooden structure, it would become very fragile.So be very careful while handling it.

Although microorganisms are isolated in the water and reproduce and slow down decay, the decay process still exists. Once the decay reaches the core of the wood, its properties will be closer to ordinary charcoal, which will lose its value in the sense of collection. This is how nature is. Brutal selection of trees with rare value.

The wool that has been handled before, the rotten skin removed is basically about one centimeter thick, which is normal loss. I wonder if this loss can be controlled to a minimum.

Uncle Huang also had no idea, but he had to confirm with Mr. Yu: "Mr. Yu, your piece of wood may wear out a lot, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Mr. Yu nodded: "It's okay, just let it go, I still believe in you."

Li Heng was not nervous looking at this situation. After all, Shenshi said before that the wear rate is not high, and the things inside are nothing compared to the rotten skin that was worn out.

Lin Weiya and Mo Qiuyan didn't know as much about this kind of thing as Li Heng and Mr. Yu, so they didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Uncle Huang to deliver the materials himself.

After Uncle Huang got a signal from Mr. Yu, he started working.

Uncle Huang's workshop is fully equipped with machines, such as hand saws and electric sanders.

Uncle Huang uses the traditional method of sanding wood. First, he roughly removes the rot on the outside with tools such as a hanging grinder, hand chisels, and hand saws. The main purpose is to clean the surface.

The wool of Jinshen gloomy wood is very dirty, because it has been buried in the ground all year round, and there are any tiny particles on it, and the soil may penetrate through the slightest gaps. If the surface is not cleaned first, the material will be cut directly. The possible damage is irreparable.

After about 10 minutes, Uncle Huang finally cleaned up all the rotten skin on this rotten wood, which was about 1.5 meters long and about 1.2 meters in diameter. .

"This...is less wasted than I imagined." Uncle Huang looked at the rotten skin on the ground and said in surprise.Maybe it's really a good thing inside.

Immediately his confidence increased, Uncle Huang first started sanding with the coarsest sandpaper, and wiped it with a damp cloth after each layer of sanding.

If you don't do this, the burrs on it will become rougher and rougher, and the wood will not be bright enough.

The more Uncle Huang rubbed, the more frightened he became. Although the surface was still very rough, the golden light on it became more and more dazzling, even more dazzling than the golden nanmu that Uncle Huang had seen before!

Uncle Huang had a vague feeling that this time, he might open the legendary gentian pattern!
Seeing that Uncle Huang was getting better and better, Mr. Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, also left his seat very anxiously, and leaned forward to watch Uncle Huang's work, so that he could see the real appearance of this piece of wood with his own eyes at the first time.

"...Oh my god!" Uncle Huang finally polished to the brightest layer, and seeing the color, he couldn't help exclaiming, "This is actually the legendary gentian pattern!"

"What! Gentian pattern?" Hearing this, Mr. Yu was overjoyed and hurried over to take a look. He had the same reaction as Uncle Huang, and both gasped.

Although the current wood only reveals only one surface, the golden gentian pattern on it has gradually revealed a dazzling color, and the golden color is pleasing to the eye.

"I didn't expect to see this kind of top-quality golden nanmu in my lifetime!" Uncle Huang sighed, "Mr. Yu, your vision is really vicious! You can still pick out such a piece of rotten wood!"
