443. Change a set of tables and chairs to a set)(1/3)
Wang Yi judged that the table and chair under his butt were based on the texture of Huanghuali wood. Although he had not studied this kind of wood carefully, he had at least read the information introduction.
Huanghuali wood is a type of mahogany. It is now extinct. What still exists in the world is furniture made of wood in the past.
He has studied this kind of wood, so after sitting down, he can take a look, touch, and feel it, and then he can vaguely determine the material of the wood of the table and chairs.
Another thing is related to the age.
A large amount of ancient mahogany furniture has been lost among the people in 1982!
Nowadays, the business of collecting old mahogany furniture has not yet grown. By the second half of the 1980s, many people in rural cities would drag big trucks and drive tricycles to collect old furniture, and these people would all get rich.
Huanghuali wood furniture in old furniture has several characteristics, such as the appearance is fine and full, such as the luster after polishing, such as the texture is very clear, such as toughness and not easy to crack, etc.
Of course, it is impossible to judge the material of the wood by relying on these characteristics. However, the furniture in the reception room of the supply and marketing cooperative is very natural in color and smooth in curved surfaces. It looks yellow-brown and plain in color, but it feels comfortable to touch, and the cross-section is like satin.
Wang Yi stroked the tabletops, legs and chairs, and then wanted to smell it:
Huanghuali wood has a mellow fragrance and is quite unique. It has a spicy flavor in its faint fragrance. It can make medicinal materials. Among medicinal materials, its fragrance is professionally called "scent reduction".
Of course, the tables and chairs in front of him have been carved for a long time, and the smell has been completely emitted, so they can't smell it when they go up and smell it.
But Wang Yi had a solution. He had a knife in his pocket. He used the knife to gently snatch the gap between the mortise and tenon inside the legs of the table. He picked some powder and smelled it.
The taste is quite light, but it does have a fragrance, with the spicy aroma of some traditional Chinese medicine.
In this way, Wang Yi is 80% sure that this set of tables and chairs may be a complete set of yellow rosewood!
He wanted to ask where the tables and chairs came from, but a salesperson came in and asked, "Leaders, are you serving the food?"
Huang Zhongqiang greeted and said, "Serve the food, hurry up and let the leaders and comrades get rid of the cold."
The first dish I came here was really hot.
A pot of mutton soup.
Leader Tong got up and distributed the spoons and bowls to everyone one by one. Huo Daqiang said politely: "Come on your own, come on your own. Comrades don't be polite, don't do the official class!"
Everyone responded:
"Yes, Director Huo is approachable, don't engage in the ancient feudal society with the same style of seniority and inferiority."
"Director Huo is right, but it is not easy for you to scoop the soup by yourself. You have to take the basin over. Forget it, let Lao Tong scoop it for you."
"Teacher Wang, too, you took your bowl and scooped it for you..."
There are half a pot of dry goods in the white and turbid mutton soup, including mutton slices, mutton blood strips, and mutton liver and mutton lung slices. The steaming hot spring onion leaves are sprinkled with coriander leaves, which are mixed with white and green, making them look particularly beautiful.
Wang Yi took the bowl and thanked him, and discussed the material of the table and chairs with Huo Daqiang: "Director Huo, what kind of wood is this table?"
Huo Daqiang said casually: "It's from mahogany."
Wang Yi was speechless.
This answer is too unprofessional.
However, Huo Daqiang is also self-taught in antiques, not a versatile talent. His research major is metal and ceramics, and he lacks professionalism in wood products.
However, one of the subordinates he brought was more familiar with the wooden antique cultural relics. He leaned over to Wang Yi and said, "Did Teacher Wang see something?"
Wang Yi smiled vaguely and said, "I didn't see anything, but I thought the table and chair were pretty good, like a pretty precious wood."
He wasn't sure about the material of the table.
The clerk stroked the armrest of the chair and said, "Yes, it's really good. This should be a chair with a very good official hat, which was popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties - because it looked like the official hat of the time, scholars think its style is a good omen for the imperial examination and high school."
"When looking at ancient paintings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, whenever scholars are involved, almost all such official hats and chairs will appear."
The person said professionally, Wang Yi asked with interest: "Comrade, what material do you think it is made of?"
The clerk said: "It should be Huanghuali wood. This kind of wood is slow to develop, solid wood, very tough, and their patterns are also quite unique, so it formed a trend in the circle of scholars at that time."
When Wang Yi heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up: Awesome! Reliable!
He must admit that this comrade has a little stronger eyesight than him.
Serve mutton soup to relieve cold, such as stir-fried mutton with onions, broken mutton liver with hands, stir-fried leeks with lamb blood, chili peppers with mutton face meat and other hot dishes are served one after another.
Another clerk Yang Yi smiled and said, "Is this going to eat the whole sheep feast?"
Huang Zhong strongly recommended: "This is the sheep we raised ourselves. Try it, and the leaders all come to taste it, and it tastes very good."
The graceful salesperson brought the wine to the table again. In addition to the bottled wine, there was also a ceramic bottle. When he poured it out, he poured it out with a red drink.
Huang Zhongqiang greeted again: "Come on, Director Huo, Teacher Wang, please bring the cup over and try this thing."
Huo Daqiang smiled and said, "Is this a kombucha drink?"
Huang Zhongqiang smiled proudly: "Yes, you are the one who knows the goods. This drink is very popular in big cities such as Shanghai, Qiantang, and Wengzhou. They are made with tea, sugar, water and bacterial seeds after fermentation."
Other cadres said: "The newspapers say that such fermented drinks can produce substances that are beneficial to the human body. They are acidic and acidic can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria."
"It is very beneficial to people's health. Now, in the homes of people with good conditions in big cities, the elderly have to bring a bowl of this kind of kombucha every night..."
"The tea leaves used in Shanghai are messy. We use Shi Ai tea, which is a specialty of our Huangtu Township. The kombucha drinks made are more beneficial to the human body."
When talking about Shi Aicha, the leader Tong wanted to prepare a batch for Wang Yi as a gift.
This is not only because their hometown asks Wang Yi to dig a well, but also because of Wang Yi's performance in the store in the evening made him admire him very much.
Wang Yi told them about going to Waizuitou Island today.
When he learned that he had gone to buy Shi Ai Cha, the leader Tong sighed: "You are so yes, Teacher Wang, you are so angry. If you have such a thing in the future, you tell us that you don't have to spend money to buy it. As long as it is something we have in our village, you can give it to you."
Wang Yi jokingly patted the table and said, "Can you give this set of tables and chairs to me?"
Huang Zhongqiang laughed and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. This thing has been around for a long time and is not as fashionable as I'm thinking about how to retire it!"
Wang Yi was delighted and wanted to rub his nose against his face.
But the wine had already come up, and Wang Yong called out and started drinking: "There is no good wine in our countryside. Leaders, try the little Huanghelou 135 that I brought back from my hometown. This wine is not expensive, but it is not delicious. Please try to drink it easily."
"Why is this wine called Xiao Huanghe Tower 135? Is there anything to say behind 135?" Yang Yi asked with a lower chopstick.
Wang Yong smiled and said, "What's the point? This wine has been sold for 1 yuan for 60 years and 70 years, so it has this title. Now it's more expensive, and it's suddenly increased by 50 cents. It's called Xiaohuanghelou 185!"
"When it comes to this 50 cents," Leader Tong laughed, "I didn't come tonight and something interesting happened to the old bug when you didn't come..."
He carefully explained the evening farce along with Wang Yi's performance.
I like this topic at the dinner table, which can bring up the chat atmosphere.
After hearing Wang Yi's help to the old insect and the filial young man, the table was filled with respect to him.
Wang Yong even raised his glass directly: "Teacher Wang, Lao Wang, has long heard of your reputation as a good person. Although I couldn't see it with my own eyes today, Tong Buming told us everything. I admire you."
"I received your warm hospitality from you last time I visited and learned from you. Today we must treat you warmly. Come on, I'll give you a cup!"
When Wang Yi saw the glass full of wine, his scalp numb on the spot: "Minister Wang, do you really want a glass? Can we take it slowly? I can't drink enough."
Wang Yong smiled wickedly: "You didn't say that in your production team that day. The veteran named Huang Yougong under your command made us very difficult. You can do it today!"
Wang Yi had no choice but to raise her glass to drink.
Everyone applauded: "Okay!"
Wang Yi saw that there were still people who were about to raise their glasses to him, so he put down his glass and quickly got to the topic.
He happened to ask Zhuhui if he knew Zhuhui in the Niangniang Temple.
He received a confirmed reply, so he asked again: "Dear leaders, what is this Master Zhuohui's origin? He seems to be quite powerful."
Tong Buming said, "It's very powerful. Others are very capable. There are no monks in this temple, but there are just a few temple blessings."
"Later, society became turbulent, and there were always some people who came to cause trouble. Some temple Zhu was scared and ran back to their hometown to join their relatives."
"The master Zhuohui is here. Well, he asked the remaining temple Zhu to shave his head and become a monk. Then this person was able to speak and kept the Empress Temple in the hands of the young generals."
"Come on, Teacher Wang, I'll give you a cup too. Your style of doing good deeds without leaving a name for me, and I will learn from you in the future!"
Looking at the raised wine glass, Wang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Learn from each other, learn from each other."
The Huangtu Commune has made great contributions to the bitter yellow.
Especially Huang Yougong was also a member of the Huangtu Commune, but that day at Wang Xianghong's house, his parents and officials were ruthless.
The parents and officials all remember this grudge. Now that Wang Yi is here, they will naturally have to give it to you in the name of treating you well!
Wang Yi's alcohol content is indeed ordinary. The wine of Xiao Huanghe Tower 135 is very strong. After a few cups, Wang Yi became sleepy.
In this way, how could he talk to the cadres of Huangtu Township and the people of the Cultural Relics Bureau about the newly discovered cultural relics and antiques in their hometown?
But if you can't talk about cultural relics and antiques, you can't get anything out of them, then Wang Yi is unwilling to accept it:
Doesn’t it mean that this meal was in vain?
He didn't want to eat this meal in vain, so he started pretending to be drunk and waited for the topic of antiques and cultural relics to come.
As a result, the related topics were not coming for a long time. People at the table called each other to talk about food, drink, meat and wine.
Finally, I had to change the dishes as I talked about and change the positions of the dishes.
Wang Yi had an idea and slapped the table with alcohol and said, "Director Huang, leaders, your dining table is not good."
"Look at this dining table, it's too bulky and too big. There are always people who can't reach the dishes after they are ready, so they have to change the dishes."
