Lin Haoming did not answer Shi Li. It was not convenient for Shi Li to ask further questions, so he took Lin Haoming to the furniture store.
Qingshen wood is considered a first-class precious wood in the heaven. Although it cannot be refined into treasure, when made into furniture, it will emit a light fragrance and have a refreshing effect.
Because of this, Qingshen wood furniture is naturally the first choice for homes with status and wealth.
As people like Qingshen wood, the cultivation and use of Qingshen wood gradually began to be divided into different levels. According to industry rules, Qingshen wood is now mainly divided into upper, middle and lower grades. In addition, there are some defective Qingshen wood. Sacred wood has also been made into utensils, but it can only be regarded as miscellaneous items. On top of this, there is also a more precious and top-grade Qing Shen wood. However, furniture made of this Qing Shen wood is not available in places like Dishan City. , generally cannot be seen, and most people cannot afford to buy it.
There are two shops selling utensils in the black market. Coincidentally, there is only a wall separating these two backyard workshops. However, because they are enemies in the same industry, this wall has not been opened like other places. Come here People here must go around from adjacent shops.
Under the leadership of Shi Li, Lin Haoming went to a shop called Anjutang. Because of Shi Li's relationship, the shopkeeper took the initiative to greet Lin Haoming while being quite busy.
Different from the shops he saw before, the shopkeeper of Anjutang is a woman, and she is also a pretty and graceful woman. On the way here, Lin Haoming heard Shi Li mention that this beautiful woman was originally bought by Anjutang in the early years. A maid, An Hui, from a famous family, finally married the eldest young master as his concubine because of her quick thinking and beauty. However, she did not expect that not long after marrying, the eldest young master of Anjutang died. In the chaos, Anhui came out to preside over Anjutang. Unexpectedly, he not only stabilized the foundation, but also developed prosperously. Now he is the most important person in Anjia's Anjutang.
Lin Haoming only saw An Hui's generous and decent look and the calm look in his eyes, but he felt that there shouldn't be much discrepancy between what Shi Li said.
Lin Haoming felt much more comfortable facing such a strong woman than facing a woman like Gao Fangfang.
After a few greetings, Lin Haoming directly said that he planned to take a look at the Qingshen wood desks and bookcases, and planned to buy a few to decorate his study.
The place where Qingshen wood is used most is in the study. Lin Haoming's idea was not surprising at all. As the shopkeeper, An Hui also asked habitually: "I don't know which grade of Qingshen wood Mr. Lin needs, and how big the bookcase should be." Yes, how long do you want the desk to be? I have ready-made ones in my shop. If you want to customize them, there’s no problem, you just need to wait for a while!”
"Let's take a look at the ready-made ones first, but I only look at the top quality ones!" Lin Haoming said directly.
"Only looking at top quality!" An Hui was a little surprised when she heard this. After all, Lin Haoming was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't bring any entourage. Although he was with Shi Li, looking at the way the two people were talking, he thought he had something to do with Shi Li. It was only because of friendship that Shi Li was allowed to accompany him.
"Master Lin is not an ordinary person. He just spent a moon crystal on a few brocade handkerchiefs. Shopkeeper An, don't make mistakes!" Chu Liang naturally wanted to save Lin Haoming's face and deliberately raised his voice.
"I'm the one who said it!" An Hui was stunned when she heard it, and then started to apologize.
Lin Haoming just smiled and said: "Is there any ready-made one?"
"Of course we have this, but there is only one set. After all, top-grade Qingshen wood is expensive and is often customized. Our shop usually purchases top-grade Qingshen wood and customizes it according to the customer's wishes." An Hui also seemed quite sincere at this time.
"How long does it take to customize a set?" Lin Haoming asked casually.
"As long as we get the drawings, we can deliver the goods in about a month. If the patterns that need to be engraved are complicated, or if some famous masters are involved, we may need to wait a little longer." An Hui said truthfully.
"Then let's take a look first!" Lin Haoming stood up and said directly.
"Okay!" An Hui immediately led Lin Haoming through the back hall to a room on the side of the middle courtyard.
After opening the door, Lin Haoming immediately smelled a faint fragrance, which was indeed the smell of Qingshenmu.
Inside the room, separated by screens, there are several different sets of furniture, including ones for bedrooms, halls, and of course study rooms. All of these sets are made of Qingshen wood, and they are all top-grade Qingshen wood. Made.
Lin Haoming knew that although doing business with An Hui seemed to be no different from ordinary shops, and could even be customized, the furniture in front of him might not all have the right origin.
There are all kinds of origins, but most of them come from the homes of high-ranking officials who have committed crimes and quarrels. Also, many of them are sealed objects. It is obvious that the process of appearing here is not glorious, and some of them come from other cities.
An Hui walked directly to the bookcase, gently touched the two matching bookcases on the left and right, and said: "A bookcase, a pair of bookcases, plus an armchair and a recliner, a total of five items in a set, all of which are of the highest quality. Made of sacred wood, Mr. Lin can take a closer look."
"Isn't everything here made by Anjia Workshop?" Lin Haoming just looked at it casually and asked.
"Of course, complete sets of high-grade Qingshen wood furniture are expensive, and we have to collect a deposit before we can start construction. Only this set and that set here are produced by Anjia, and they are mainly accumulated after others broke the contract, but the others are not from Anjia. The craftsmanship is not bad, but the carvings on the drawer of the bookcase and the patterns on both sides are definitely made by famous artists. The auspicious clouds on the side of the bookcase are as lifelike as those of the masters in Dishan City!" Anhui is used to it. introduced.
"Since the An family's craftsmanship is so good, why are they selling these?" Lin Haoming asked.
An Hui was a little surprised when she heard this question. She glanced at Shi Li and saw that Shi Li had no reaction. Then she smiled and replied, "Young Master Lin is joking. If the An family doesn't do this, the other family will naturally do it. Although I The An family believes that their craftsmanship is better, but if the price is low enough and all the guests are taken away, our An family will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind!"
"I see, so the appliances here are cheaper than those officially produced by your An family?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.
An Hui thought that Lin Haoming only said this to keep the price down, but she regained her composure and said with a smile: "This is natural, but if I customize it, it is usually more in line with the buyer's wishes, and if there are some problems, we will also deal with the aftermath. .”
"If the An family made the same set of things, how many yuan crystals would it cost?" Lin Haoming asked, pointing to the bookcase in front of him.
"If they are exactly the same, according to the materials and handicrafts of the master, it will cost about this amount?" An Hui stretched out three extremely slender fingers as white as jade.
