"No, no, it's impossible. I must be dazzled. That's just a child's toy." Guo Qingtao rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the little black wooden horse again, his eyes widening again.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Lu Qingya asked doubtfully.
Guo Qingtao did not answer. He walked quickly to the little black wooden horse, took out a magnifying glass and stared at the black wooden horse. He touched it gently with his hands, smelled it for a moment, and finally polished it lightly under his feet.
"Your teacher has research on wood?" Su Jing asked.
"It can be said that he has quite a lot of research. In terms of wood, he can definitely be an appraiser." Lu Qingya said proudly, and then asked doubtfully, "But, what is so special about this little black horse?" Lu Qingya and Shi Qing Hand in hand, we walked together.
"Grandpa, do you also like the wooden horse?" It was Su Yan who was riding the horse now. She saw Guo Qingtao staring at the wooden horse, his eyes shining. I was a little scared at first, but I turned around and looked at Su Jing next to me. I was no longer scared and asked curiously.
"Yes, I like it too. How about you get down first?" Guo Qingtao said in a low voice, but he was almost anxious in his heart. Little girl, please get down quickly. How can I ride this precious treasure for you? What if the ride breaks down?
"No, my uncle gave it to me to play with." Su Yan thought that Guo Qingtao was going to snatch her treasure, so she was naturally unhappy. She grabbed the guard tightly and lay on the horse's back, entangled like an octopus. With.
"I won't rob it with you, but you come down first and don't break it." Guo Qingtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, no, no, no." How could Su Yan listen to a stranger and said to Su Jing, "Uncle, this old man wants to steal my Xiaohei."
"Haha, grandpa doesn't want to fight with you. You come down first and let grandpa take a look." Su Jing said with a smile, walked over and hugged Su Yan down. Su Yan naturally listened to Su Jing's words, but still Keep an eye on the black wooden horse, for fear of being snatched away.
"Mr. Su, is this your niece? How can you give such a treasure to a child to play with? By the way, who made this wooden horse? Isn't this rough craftsmanship a waste of nature?" Guo Qingtao looked angry. look.
"Haha, black wood is hard, so it can't be broken so easily." Su Jing said with a smile.
"Blackwood, who said this is Blackwood?" Guo Qingtao's eyes widened, making Su Jing stunned. Isn't this Blackwood? Guo Qingtao said, "This is not black wood. This is ebony, gloomy wood, and it is also the most precious golden nanmu."
"No way." Su Jing was stunned and scratched her head in embarrassment. This time she made a mistake.
"The surface of this ebony wood is heavily carbonized. It has been polished by riding and is also covered with a layer of dust that cannot be washed away. At first glance, it looks similar to black wood. No wonder you misunderstood it. However, if you scratch it a little, you can see the difference. "Guo Qingtao pointed to the place under his feet that he had just polished. Su Jing, Lu Qingya, and Shi Qing looked down and saw that the small piece of wood, in addition to black, also saw gold threads.
"It's really different. I saw it wrong." Su Jing was embarrassed. She couldn't quite trust her half-bucket of water appraisal skills.
"Teacher, what is ebony?" Lu Qingya couldn't help but ask, and Shi Qing also looked confused. In fact, Su Jing didn't know much about it. He naturally knew about golden nanmu. Last time, he picked up a golden nanmu box among the garbage in the time and space of "Star Change" and it was valued at more than three million. But it was the first time for him to see golden nanmu.
"Ebony is the common name for gloomy wood. It generally has a black skin. It is completely different from the 'ebony' in my country's mahogany standards. The formation of gloomy wood has a long history. According to available records, in ancient times, due to sudden attacks, Major geographical and meteorological changes such as earthquakes, flash floods, lightning strikes, and typhoons have buried a large number of golden nanke, as well as tree species such as red toon, hemp willow, green bar, and camphor, deep in the sand and swamps over time. For thousands or even tens of thousands of years, they have been washed by torrents, crushed by mud and rocks, especially under high pressure and anoxic conditions. After tens of thousands of years of carbonization, oxidation, and alcoholization, they have formed something like stone. Stone, plant 'mummy' that looks like wood but not wood. Dark wood has both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone. Its texture is solid and thick, its color is black and shiny, its cross section is smooth and delicate, it is resistant to decay and insects, and it is natural. Therefore, it is also called the 'Oriental Sacred Tree'." Guo Qingtao explained.
After a pause, he continued, "The value of ebony varies greatly depending on the tree species it is formed from. Among them, golden nanmu is considered the most precious. And the same golden nanmu is also graded. It depends on the grade. The age of the golden nan tree, the time it has been buried in the ground, the completeness of preservation, etc. Although I don’t have all the tools and it is just a preliminary identification, I dare to say that this piece of golden nan wood is definitely the top quality golden nan wood.”
Lu Qingya and Shi Qing were both dumbfounded. No wonder Guo Qingtao was so excited. Ordinary ebony is quite rare. Moreover, it is golden nanmu, the top-grade golden nanmu. It is naturally worth a lot of money. It is estimated that many people can only covet it. Bar. But such a rare piece of top-grade golden nanmu was used to make a wooden horse for children to play with, and the shape was so rough. They all looked strange and turned to look at Su Jing.
"It's none of my business. I didn't do it. This is how it was when I got it." Su Jing said.
"Mr. Su, where did you get it? Who is such a waste of natural resources?" Guo Qingtao couldn't help but ask.
"I found it at a street stall. How could I know who would be so wasteful?" Su Jing said, muttering in her heart. She accidentally used this excuse again. Next time, she would think of more excuses and use them in turn.
"I got it from a street stall, you are so lucky." Guo Qingtao couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. Many so-called golden nanmu in the market are actually not very authentic. It is rare to see such top-quality golden nanmu. It's hard to find even if you want to buy it.
"Uncle, uncle, can't this little black kid be played with for me?" Su Yan was young and didn't understand much even though she was listening from the sidelines. She didn't understand it well enough. This little black kid seemed to be quite precious.
"Let's do this. I'll let you play with it for now. When I come back, I'll bring you another new Trojan horse." Su Jing pinched Su Yan's cheek lovingly. If he insists on taking away the wooden horse, Su Yan will definitely not make a fuss because of her well-behaved and sensible nature, but she will probably feel a little depressed for a short time. It would be better to let her play with it first and let the dogs watch.
"Okay." Su Ya was very happy.
"Did you hear what I said? This is golden ebony, and you let children play with it." Guo Qingtao was furious.
"It's okay. It's not bad for children. Just give her another one when you come back." Su Jing said with a smile.
"..." Guo Qingtao was speechless, but this horse was not his, and he had no right to make a decision. He could only cry in his heart, God, it's so unfair, why can these guys who waste their natural resources get the treasure instead
"Su Jing seems to like children very much." Lu Qingya leaned close to Shi Qing and whispered in Shi Qing's ear.
"Yeah." Shi Qing smiled.
"Then you won't give him another child?" Lu Qingya said with a smile.
"Not so fast." Shi Qing blushed and glanced at Su Jing. He was worried that Su Jing would hear him, but he didn't know that Su Jing had heard clearly. Tsukuru didn't hear.
"Okay, let's go." Guo Qingtao saw that Su Yan was riding on the horse again, shaking and shaking happily, making a squeaking sound. Guo Qingtao couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye, and his heart ached. In order to stay out of sight and out of mind, he simply walked to the van immediately, urging him to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
