NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 187 Obtained the small leaf red sandalwood
Luo Yunhang successfully arrived in Fuzhou Province by plane that night, stayed at a guest house next to the airport for one night, and took a bus to Xianyou County the next day.
After arriving at the place, he spent a few days and made inquiries in the timber market. He finally found out about a timber merchant who had suddenly disappeared recently. His family's ancestors made their fortune in small-leaf red sandalwood.
The situation of this family was really miserable, and Luo Yunhang couldn't stand it anymore.
The man's parents were both dead, and his wife was in her hometown with a daughter. He had been gone for several months without any news. His wife went to Haikou to look for him but could not find him. The relatives around him said that the man must have died somewhere.
In local families, it is very shameful that no male can inherit the incense and cannot be buried in the ancestral grave.
As soon as the man left, the bloodline was equivalent to being cut off. Everyone began to scheming and bullying the mother and daughter. First, they said she was not good at running the business and took over the lumber business left by the man and divided up the wood in the store. The lumber business that the man left behind closed down immediately.
The woman couldn't stop her, and she also thought that if she gave them the things, maybe they would be willing to give themselves and their children a way out.
But he didn't expect that these so-called relatives would eat people without spitting out their bones. Not only did they occupy their business, they also occupied their ancestral home.
She said that if her man left, she would no longer be a member of the clan and the house must be returned to them.
There is no such truth! The woman begged but no one helped because there were indeed many bad habits in the local area and it was difficult to change them in a short period of time.
No one is willing to help their mother and daughter get through this.
When Luo Yunhang came over, mother and daughter had already lived on the street. Fortunately, her husband still left some savings.
Although he did it with selfish motives, he really couldn't stand it anymore. These people were really too much.
So, Luo Yunhang arranged for the mother and daughter, and climbed over the wall into their ancestral home while no one was paying attention. That night, someone also climbed over the wall and came in to find the good things left by the man's ancestors.
Luo Yunhang covered himself with a white cloth, pretended to be a man and came back to claim his life. He gave everyone who came in a good meal, at least enough for them to lie on the bed for a while.
Such pretentiousness scared away several waves of people, and also made some strange noises in the room.
Soon, a lot of strange news came out in their village.
Some old people said that it was the man who came back to claim his life because they bullied his wife and children.
After such a commotion, no one dared to go to the ancestral house again. The woman moved back successfully, and no one dared to stand up and say anything.
In order to thank Luo Yunhang, the woman took out a small piece of thousand-year-old agarwood seeds left by the man as a thank you.
This was the first time Luo Yunhang saw the thousand-year-old agarwood. A piece as big as his hand felt like it weighed several kilograms.
There is a pungent aroma, and if you smell it carefully, there is also a fruity aroma, sweetness and honey aroma coexisting.
He definitely wanted this material, but he was orphaned and widowed, so how could he have the nerve to accept a gift from someone else.
So he bought it for 120,000 yuan at the market price.
When the woman saw that he didn't repay his kindness, she took the opportunity to blackmail him, and even gave her money at the highest price in the market. She treated him with courtesy in every aspect, and she was somewhat moved in her heart.
He took the initiative and said that if he wanted five large pieces of small-leaf red sandalwood handed down from his male ancestors, he could sell them to him at a low price for peace of mind.
She wanted to sell the good things left by the man in exchange for some money, and take her daughter to live in a place where no one knew them.
In fact, she may also know in her heart now that her man will probably never come back.
Nowadays, the clan members are so cruel and ruthless. If they keep them, they are afraid that they will be advantageous to others later. It is better to sell them to this somewhat capable outsider and get rid of them.
It can also leave some capital for the mother and daughter to settle down and raise their daughter well.
Luo Yunhang didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. It would be great if the woman took the initiative to sell.
The police in Haikou still need time to crack the case and pass on the news, so they still don't know the man's situation. Once the man's death is confirmed, it will be even more difficult for the mother and daughter to dispose of these belongings.
So without further delay, Luo Yunhang found someone to dig out the small-leaf red sandalwood buried in the vegetable field overnight. The man's ancestors had been sealed before being processed and were well protected.
Luo Yunhang was immediately stunned when he saw these old materials.
Worthy of being one of the three famous men.
There are two pieces of material that are fifty centimeters thick, and three pieces of material that are all thirty centimeters thick. They are undoubtedly old materials passed down from ancestors.
In order to confirm the authenticity, Luo Yunhang also verified it carefully.
After all, this is something worth millions. The method to identify rosewood is also simple. Use alcohol to gently rub the surface of the wood. If it turns purple, it is rosewood.
You can also scrape some wood powder from the wood and soak it in wine. If blood-red threads appear on the scraps, it is red sandalwood.
Old red sandalwood will not fade when soaked in water, and the color will come off when rubbed; new rosewood will fade after being soaked in water, but the color will not fade away.
As the saying goes, nine out of ten sandalwoods are empty. The diameter of the largest rosewood on the market is only about 20 centimeters.
Because the growth of red sandalwood is extremely slow, it takes hundreds or even thousands of years for a mature red sandalwood tree to grow. The yield rate is extremely low and resources are extremely scarce, so it is also said that "every inch of sandalwood is valuable."
Rosewood has the strongest texture and heaviest weight among hardwoods. Although it is not as gorgeous as huanghuali, it is quiet and ancient and cannot be compared with any other wood.
The value of these old materials is simply immeasurable.
Because it’s really hard to see such old materials on the market anymore, there happened to be a lot of valuable red sandalwood furniture in the basement of Luo Yunhang’s ancestral home.
You may need to use a lot of good materials when repairing it. Ordinary materials are not worthy of such precious good things, so these materials are just right.
Now the price of ordinary small-leaf red sandalwood on the market is only 300 per catty.
Luo Yunhang thought for a while and quoted the price to the woman: one thousand yuan per catty.
The shock on the woman's face was visible to the naked eye. She often did business with her husband and knew the prices. What she thought was that this man had helped the mother and daughter, and the red sandalwood would be sold to him cheaper, as long as he could give her at least three hundred She can accept the price of a pound.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yunhang took the initiative to quote such a high price.
They had just weighed them. The five red sandalwood sticks weighed about three thousand kilograms in total.
One thousand pounds per pound, three thousand pounds, that’s three million!
The woman quickly agreed. Just kidding, how could she disagree with such a high price?
Early the next morning, Luo Yunhang went to the bank to complete the transfer for the woman. The mother and daughter thanked him profusely, which made him embarrassed. In fact, in the end, his purpose was not pure. He came here for Xiaoye Rosewood. I just helped them out.
After seeing off the mother and daughter, he specially found a local freight company and personally escorted these small-leaf red sandalwood sticks back to Tianzhou.
To him, although three million is nothing, such precious small-leaf red sandalwood material is something that can only be encountered but cannot be obtained, even if you have money.
