The old lady smiled and did not answer Xie Jiashan. She asked Xie Jiabao and Xie Jiacheng again: "Second, third, and wife, you each have any one you like, and you will choose the best one!"

The three daughters-in-law all picked three jade ornaments on the desk, and Xie Jiabao and Xie Jiacheng chose two of them in the calligraphy and paintings.

The old lady asked Zhou Nan again: "Nannan, what do you think of?"

Zhou Nan stretched out his little finger and bit it gently in his mouth, then pointed to the purple clay teapot on the tea table in the tree root and said, "That, purple clay teapot!"

After Zhou Nan said this, he glanced at Zhang Can, but saw Zhang Can frowned slightly, thinking that it was broken, it was wrong, it was not a purple clay pot, but it was obviously only this thing over there. If he said it wrong, what was it?

The old lady smiled even more strongly, then looked at Zhang Can and asked, "Young man, tell me, what is the most valuable thing in my living room?"

Zhang Can smiled slightly, turned his head to point to the tea set at the corner of the wall, and smiled and said, "Old man, there are many valuable things in your living room, such as calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments, purple clay teapots, and the two mahogany furniture. These are all worth a lot of money, but the most valuable thing is the wooden plate on the tree root tea table, that is, the dark wooden plate containing the purple clay teapot. That thing is the most valuable!"

Except for the old lady, the others were stunned. The three brothers of Xie Jiashan and their wives did not expect that Zhang Can actually say that such a tea set plate is the most valuable. Just now, when Zhou Nan said that the purple clay pot is the most valuable, they felt a little unsure. Maybe it was the purple clay pot, but at the beginning they didn't think about it at all. This antique must be the more precious the thing, the tighter the tighter it is. However, the purple clay pot tea set and tea cup were all made by the old man during his lifetime. After the old man passed away, he rarely used it. There was no one to move it in the corner. The old lady occasionally sat making a pot of tea. They all thought that the old lady missed her wife, so they didn't care.

But what is the value of that wooden plate? Speaking of the top, it is just a small plate made of wood. What is the value of it?

Everyone was in doubt, but what was the most valuable thing? Zhang Can said nothing, and it was up to the old lady to say it, so everyone looked at the old lady.

At this time, Xie Jiacheng's son Xie Yong bought a box of watch tools and came back. They were meticulous tools specially used for disassembling and assemblage. However, when the old lady was talking, Xie Jiacheng just put the tool box on the coffee table and did not ask Zhang Can to open the watch immediately.

The expression on the old lady's face was not obvious, which made her sons and daughters-in-law not sure whether they were selected or not. Zhou Nan naturally didn't know whether it was right or not. However, in her heart, she still believed in Zhang Can. After all, Zhang Can's performance in the Jinshang surprised her. Although she didn't understand, she also knew that the skills and vision were far from what ordinary people could achieve. Generally speaking, clerks working in Jinshang will receive professional training to avoid making mistakes. Sales employees who go to regular storefront stores will undergo assessments and can only officially take up their posts after obtaining their job certificates.

"Well, since you have chosen all of you, I won't say more. I just want to hear Xiao Zhang's explanation and what he thinks." The old lady still said to Zhang Can with a smile on her face, asking him to explain why she chose the wooden plate.

Zhang Can spread his hands and praised the old lady: "Old man, almost all the things in your living room are genuine, such as calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments, pen holders, mahogany chairs, tree root tea tables, purple clay tea pots, sandalwood tea trays, all of them are genuine, and none of them are fake."

Everyone just heard Zhang Can say that the wooden tea tray is the most valuable, but except for the old lady, no one else understands what the wooden tray is valuable. At this time, Zhang Can said the name and said "sandalwood". His fame is not very strange. He seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember what this sandalwood is? Just such a wooden tray, even if it is valuable, how much can it be worth?

Zhang Can completely swept the living room with his black and white eyes. These things were printed in his mind at this moment. While thinking, he said, "Those six calligraphy and paintings are really the most valuable of the horse picture. However, these six paintings are not ancient paintings, they are all modern works, and the painters are not famous masters. Speaking of which, the value of the horse picture should be about 20,000 yuan, and the other five paintings range from thousands. The other three aunts chose

The three jade ornaments, the pen holder is ink jade, the texture is average, worth about 3,000 yuan, the jade reclining Buddha is carved by topaz, the carving is average, only considered medium, the jade quality is also average, worth about 5,000 yuan, the most valuable thing in the jade ornaments should be the rooster carved from bloodstone, which is cleverly matched with the colors on the jade. The craftsmen's carving skills are excellent, but the color of the bloodstone itself is not very good and the texture is also medium, so the price will be discounted, it should be worth about 30,000 yuan."

Zhang Can said this and turned around and pointed to the mahogany chair and said, "Let's talk about the one here. Those two mahogany chairs are some years old, they are real red sandalwood, but they are not the most expensive type. Two chairs can be worth about 25,000 yuan. The tree root carved tea table is also carved on the surface. The surface is also a lying Buddha. The hands are just holding the tea tray and tea set, which is very vivid. This skill is very good. The tree root is also old yellow wood. It has three or four years old. This tree root tea table is a very good work of art. In my opinion, it can be worth 20,000 yuan."

The three brothers and three women of the Xie family were dazed, but they never expected that the things placed in the living room were worth tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. They always thought that the old lady hid the old man's antiques in the room because there were indeed two large boxes locked in the room. However, they did not expect that the old lady took all the valuable things in the living room and never moved them. They really didn't expect that the things placed in front of them were genuine products worth tens of thousands!

What I didn’t expect was that the tree root tea table carving could actually be worth 20,000 yuan!

Zhang Can pointed to the purple clay pot again and said, "Let's talk about this purple clay pot tea set, a pot and six purple clay cups. This thing, at least before the late Qing Dynasty, was produced by the Qing official kiln. The pot and the bottom of the cup have the marks and seals of the official kiln, which is the least difficult to recognize..."

"Brother Zhang, you're so happy to tell me. Are these things in my house really worth so much money?"

The most curious thing is Xie Yong, Zhou Nan’s uncle’s son, and the third-year junior high school student, asking curiously.

Fortunately, others were attracted by Zhang Can's explanation, and no one thought about what Xie Yong was thinking. In fact, Xie Yong was thinking in his heart that if he had to exchange one for money, he could have a few good friends with him.

Zhang Can smiled and said, "Let's talk about that wooden plate. This wooden plate is really expensive. I believe you all know the high-end mahogany furniture. This wooden plate is also mahogany, but different from the types of those two mahogany chairs. This is the most precious type of mahogany, called 'rosandalwood'. The preciousness of mahogany is mainly based on a thousand years of ingredient. Besides, after the mahogany has been produced for thousands of years, the trunks are curved and seldom have straight trunks. The largest diameter is only about 40 cm. That is the limit. Generally, hundreds of thousands of mahogany are only about 20 cm, and purple sandalwood is

The trunk of the wood is twisted and has a lot of hollow spaces. There is a saying that "Ninety-ten sandalwood is empty", so there are very few materials that can be used, and it is more precious to red sandalwood. Generally speaking, the furniture that red sandalwood can be made is extremely small, and the most things are made are Buddhist beads, pendants, hand beads, etc., and this plate, you see, the texture is twisted and purple-black. Although the plate is made of wood, the weight is like iron cast. What is even more rare is that the wooden plate is about 40 cm long and more than 30 cm wide. This is already an extremely rare large material among red sandalwood. If it comes to the price, I really can't say..."

The old lady's eyes were a little glorious, staring at Zhang Can and admired it very much, while Zhou Nan's uncles and aunts were all stunned for a while. However, Xie Yong stretched out his head and asked, "How much is this plate worth? If it is more expensive than those, it will be worth at least 100,000 or 80,000, right?"

After listening to it for a long time, Xie Yong wrote those words, including those teapots, cups, tree roots and chairs, which were worth tens of thousands of yuan, which made him feel itchy. He heard that the wooden plate was more expensive and he was even more curious. The wooden plate was small and easier to get. If the price was good, it would be easier to get it out, so he quickly asked how much this thing is worth.

Zhang Can pondered, he really didn't know much about the value of this rosewood. He had heard Lao Su mention it a little before. If you want to say it, this rosewood is more valuable than the golden nanmu he made in his hometown river. The reason why the golden nanmu is not as big as the red nanmu. After it becomes a timber, the trunk of the tree is large and straight, and it can be made into large furniture. However, the tenth of the red nanmu is empty and the trunk is twisted, so it cannot be made into large furniture at all. Therefore, the price of rosewood is more expensive than that of golden nanmu.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Can said, "I can't say the specific price, but I can mention that the red sandalwood is empty and it is rare in the world to make a ingredient that is as wide and long as this plate. A few years ago, a red sandalwood carved lion statue about 20 centimeters was auctioned in Jincheng. The final transaction price was 6.6 million yuan. Although this plate does not have the carving work of that lion, it is so wide and long, and it is truly unique. I think its price is no less than that of the lion statue. At least, it is almost the same!"

"Oh... more than six million? God..."

The people in the hall suddenly exclaimed. Xie Jiashan, Xie Jiabao and other three brothers and their wives all changed their faces. Although their family is still rich, they are definitely not people who take six or seven million seriously. Moreover, the main reason is that this wooden plate is worth so much money, which is really unthinkable. From childhood to adulthood, they have never taken it seriously. Unexpectedly, it is a precious thing worth six or seven million!

But is it not sure if it is as Zhang Can said, and they still need the recognition of their mother and old lady. The old lady should know the value of this rosewood plate.

The old lady finally slowly closed her smile, looking at the rosewood plate in a daze.

The old lady didn't say anything, and the brothers of Xie Jiashan were anxious. The three wives also surrounded him and asked in a verbal manner: "Mom, is the wooden plate real or fake? Is it really worth that much money?"

The old lady seemed to be addicted to memories, as if she hadn't heard it.

Zhou Nan and Xie Yong stepped forward, and on one side, hugged the old lady's arm and shook it gently before waking the old lady.

The old lady said "Oh", looked at Zhang Can and remembered the situation just now, nodded, and then asked: "Young man, then you said this is a wooden plate made of rosewood, so do you have any way to prove it?"
