    No matter how reluctant he was to part with it, Uncle Cao knew that depending on the situation at home, these antiques he carefully collected would definitely fall into the pockets of others, so he gritted his teeth and said: "My things are all here, you guys take a look first  Bar."

    After saying that, he sat down on the chair at the door.

    ??Everyone nodded, and then walked towards the target that they were interested in.

    Meng Zitao walked towards a wooden statue. He had no choice but to do so. Uncle Cao may have had few artifacts in the room due to his interests and other reasons, and the location was close to Cheng Qiheng. Meng Zitao could only let Cheng Qiheng take a look first.  Moreover.

    This is a wooden statue of a warrior. The warrior frowns and stands with his sword in his hand. The statue wears a helmet on its head and ear protection on both sides. It wears shoulder pads and a shawl on its upper body. The joint between the shoulder and the shoulder has an animal face swallowing its mouth;  The armor has a protective mood and is used to enhance defense; the lower body has a shorter knee skirt.  This form of warrior attire should be in the style of the Song Dynasty.

    In addition, traces of painting can be seen on the surface of the samurai statue. However, most of the painting has fallen off because of time. In addition, only the hilt of the sword in the samurai's hand is left.

    Meng Zitao carefully observed the statue in front of him and compared it with some information in his mind to determine the authenticity and age of the statue.

    Meng Zitao usually observes things with his own eyesight now, and then uses his powers.  After all, although this power was convenient and accurate, it seemed like a piece of pie falling from the sky. Its origin was unknown, and he was worried that it would disappear one day.

    Precisely because of this sense of crisis, Meng Zitao wanted to do everything possible to train his eyesight and improve his appraisal level.  When I reach Wang Zhixuan's level, even if I don't have any special powers, I can still prosper in the antiques industry.

    After observing for three to five minutes, Meng Zitao used his superpower. He nodded secretly. This was indeed a warrior statue from the Song Dynasty, and its value was not much as he judged, around thirty thousand.

    After thinking about it, Meng Zitao placed the warrior statue in an alternative location, but he had no idea of ??winning it. The main reason was that the statue was larger, nearly one meter high. He took it back.  It's really not convenient.

    Next to the warrior statue, there were all furniture. Meng Zitao glanced around and found that these were all cork furniture.

    In the furniture market, everyone should have heard of softwood and hardwood furniture, but what is softwood and what is hardwood?  How to distinguish softwood from hardwood?  I believe many people are quite confused about this.  Just like Meng Zitao, before he came into contact with the antique business, he didn¡¯t know how to distinguish between the two types of furniture.

    In fact, "softwood" and "hardwood" are not based on the softness and hardness of the wood texture as the only criterion. A considerable part of the softwood furniture is also very hard.

    Then why is it so divided?

    In fact, "cork" is a scientific name. For example, "cork" includes nanmu, beech, cypress, walnut, etc. There are corresponding trees for each type. For example, nanmu is a nan tree, beech is a beech tree, etc.

    "Hardwood" is actually a literary name. For example, hardwoods include rosewood, huanghuali, mahogany, chicken wing wood, iron wood, ebony, etc. There is no tree with the scientific name of iron tree, and no tree is called ebony tree.  Let me explain again, what is mentioned here is the scientific name. For example, the scientific name of Huanghuali is Dalbergia Dalbergia.

    So why is this happening?  In fact, the reason is very simple. In our country, cork furniture is actually native trees, so everyone knows the name of the wood.  As for hardwood, except for huanghuali from Qiong Province, the rest are basically imported.

    Because of this, before the ancients saw the imported wood, they did not see their whole picture, only the trunks, so they did not have a fixed name, so they gave it a literary name.  Literary names usually sound nice, such as red sandalwood, which means purple energy coming from the east.

    Later, the people came to call the wood brought in from outside as "hardwood", and the locally produced wood was called "firewood".  Later, "firewood" was also called "cork".

    Thinking about the explanation of "softwood" and "hardwood", Meng Zitao thought to himself: "The reason why the price of hardwood is much more expensive than softwood is that it corresponds to the old saying, foreign monks like to chant sutras?"

    Putting this thought aside, Meng Zitao observed the cork furniture in front of him. Cork furniture is cheap, which is good for him. At least he can afford it, right?

    What makes Meng Zitao a little disappointed is that the furniture in Uncle Cao's place are all ordinary furniture, and the quality is not very good.

    In fact, this is normal, because cork furniture has experienced too many years and is generally not in good condition. It is either deformed or missing an arm.The legs are really not that good in appearance and can easily give people a bad impression.  From this point of view, it is normal for hardwood furniture to be more popular than softwood furniture.

    Meng Zitao didn¡¯t have much idea about these ugly cork furniture, but since he had seen them all, he was ready to finish them all.

    Soon, Meng Zitao saw the last piece of furniture, which was an official hat chair.

    The official hat chair is named after its shape resembling the official hats of ancient officials.  It is divided into two types: the southern official hat chair and the four-headed official hat chair.

    The characteristic of the Nanguan Mao Chair is that the soft rounded corners are made at the joint between the upright pillars of the chair back and the headrest, the upright pillars are used as tenons, and the cross beams are used as tenon sockets in a tobacco bag pot style.  The chair back is sometimes made into an "S" shape using a whole plate, or frame paneling is used, which is engraved with patterns, making it beautiful and elegant.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The two ends of the backrest and the front ends of the left and right armrests are essentially the two ends of the backrest chair.

    What makes Meng Zitao feel a little curious is that the shape of the official hat chair in front of him is somewhat unique. The backrest is different from ordinary chairs. It is in the middle of two straight bars, connected by two small horizontal bars with intervals.  A square frame, there are still traces of Fujiko on this square, it should be where Fujiko noodles are placed.

    Meng Zitao is actually not very proficient in furniture, and he doesn¡¯t know the meaning of this form, but he can figure it out.

    Meng Zitao knows that this kind of rattan-faced chairs are generally from an early age, and judging from the style of this chair, it is likely to be from the Ming Dynasty.

    But the official hat chairs from the Ming Dynasty he had seen before did not have this form, so he could still push them forward. It might be from the early Ming Dynasty or earlier.

    "However, this chair is made of elm wood. It is really hard to imagine that it was earlier than the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the official hat chair only existed in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to have it earlier.

    In this way, the very inconspicuous official hat chair in front of you may be the official hat chair in the early Ming Dynasty.

    Thinking of this, Meng Zitao couldn't help but feel happy. This was an official hat chair from the early Ming Dynasty. He had never seen it on the market, and it was also very rare in museums.  Doesn't this mean that this thing has a high cultural relic value?

    ¡°Besides, things are rare and valuable. Since they are rare, it means that this thing is valuable. Maybe there is a chance?

    After a while, Meng Zitao's heart calmed down. Now all this is just his guess.  Moreover, even if he guessed correctly, if Uncle Cao also knew its value, he would not have the money to buy it.

    After a while, Meng Zitao stood up, walked to Uncle Cao, pointed to the official hat chair and asked, "Uncle, I wonder how much that official hat chair costs?"

    Hearing Meng Zitao speak first, everyone looked up and felt a little strange when they found that Meng Zitao was actually asking about such an ugly chair.  However, at this time, it is not convenient for everyone to ask, so there is no past.

    Uncle Cao followed Meng Zitao's hand and looked over. Maybe because he couldn't see clearly, he frowned, stood up and walked to the chair. When he saw that Meng Zitao was actually asking about this chair, he felt a little bit in his heart.  strangeness.

    But he also knew the rules of the antique business, so he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Just two thousand, how about it?¡±

    Meng Zitao felt happy, shook his head and said: "Uncle, you have also seen the quality of this chair, and it is made of elm wood. The price of two thousand is too expensive."

    Although, in terms of the value given by the supernatural power, the price of two thousand is completely a big mistake, but in business, business is business, charity is charity, and people who are much poorer than Uncle Cao, are these antiques for sale?  When the time comes, give them the market price?  What else is there to do?

    Meng Zitao felt that all he needed to do business was to be honest, not engage in any crooked ways, and have a clear conscience.

    Uncle Cao also shook his head: "Young man, you must also be interested in the rattan cover of this official chair. Then you should know that this chair is very old. Besides, to tell you the truth, this chair belongs to me."  I bought it years ago and it cost several hundred. I hid it for a few years, so it¡¯s normal to sell it for two thousand.¡±

    In the past few years, the market for antiques has indeed risen sharply, and the prices of many things have also doubled. It used to be sold for a few hundred, but now it is normal to sell for a few thousand. Of course, it must be good.

    In order not to appear abrupt, Meng Zitao paid back the price several times, but Uncle Cao seemed convinced and refused to let go.  In this case, Meng Zitao agreed and immediately paid the money to Uncle Cao.

    Seeing a hint of suspicion flash in the eyes of Uncle Cao who took the money, Meng Zitao knew that his performance was too hasty, which aroused Uncle Cao's suspicion.  But in the face of a leakage of three to four hundred thousand yuan, how could he be calm when he was born in a family like his? He felt that his current performance was pretty good.

    Now that the thing was in hand, Meng Zitao almost couldn't help but burst out laughing. Fortunately, he had good control, and he was on someone else's territory after all, so he didn't dare to cause trouble.

    Although Uncle Cao was a little confused, he really didn't feel that this ordinary-looking chair was valuable, so he walked back to the door and sat down.

    At this time, Uncle Cao¡¯s servant came in with three people. When everyone saw who the other party was, they were stunned (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)For sure, he felt that his current performance was pretty good.
