Chapter 455: Make more! Give it away!
"Is rosewood furniture good? Qian Guo has been nagging about it since last year!" asked the mother-in-law in confusion.
"Red sandalwood, huanghuali wood, and golden nanmu are all good things. They were used by emperors and wealthy families in the past!" replied the father-in-law.
"I have all these types of wood, but I didn't make furniture before because I couldn't find the right person to do it. My third brother knows someone who can make a few sets.
Rosewood has the following functions:
Beauty treatment: Apply rosewood powder on the skin, rub it repeatedly, and then rinse it off with clean water. This will leave a unique scent of rosewood on your hands and skin, and your skin will feel extra smooth, just like applying a layer of natural skin cream.
This is because, when kneading red sandalwood powder, it emits a substance called "wood oxygen", which not only has a calming effect on the mind, but also promotes cell regeneration with long-term use, keeps the skin smooth and shiny, and prevents the appearance of wrinkles.
In medicine: According to the records of Mongolian medical books, red sandalwood can also eliminate joint swelling and pain; applying a mixture of white vinegar and red sandalwood powder to the leg joints can eliminate joint swelling and pain; red sandalwood is also good for the stomach and intestines. Making red sandalwood shavings into the pillow core of a pillow can have a certain soothing effect on gastrointestinal diseases.
Furniture: Rosewood was first used to make small items, such as paperweights, pen holders, stoves, bottles, boxes, etc. In the early Qing Dynasty, rosewood was used more in furniture, mostly made into tables and chairs, shelves, cabinets, boxes, etc.
Now it is possible to make a large wardrobe, it just depends on the craftsmanship of the carpenter! "
Cao Dongfang gives his mother-in-law some scientific knowledge.
Father-in-law, "Phoebe nanmu and Huanghuali wood are also good, especially Phoebe nanmu!"
"Jinlan, how about we get a set of furniture like this too!"
"I don't understand their benefits!" Mo Jinlan didn't understand.
"Dongfang, what are the advantages of golden nanmu and huanghuali wood!" Song Xianxian asked Cao Dongfang when she was undecided.
......
"Golden nanmu carving can be used for the following purposes:
Furniture: Phoebe nanmu has the fragrance of nanmu and is immune to all kinds of insects. It is often used to make furniture such as cabinets. It can be used to store clothes, books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and has the effect of repelling insects.
Buddhist shrines: Buddhist shrines carved from golden nanmu are very beautiful, such as the golden nanmu Buddhist shrine in the Lama Temple in Beijing, which is one of the three treasures of the palace.
Pixiu: Pixiu carved from golden nanmu wood is a common work and one of the best-selling ones. As a magical artifact to protect the house, Pixiu has the functions of bringing good luck, warding off evil spirits, protecting the house, transforming the Tai Sui, and promoting marriage.
Tea tables, tea trays, coffee tables: Large golden nanmu can be used to make tea tables, tea trays, coffee tables, etc.
Small ornaments and bracelets: Small golden nanmu can be used to make small ornaments and bracelets, etc.
It should be noted that there are many types of golden nanmu carvings, and you can choose according to your personal preferences and needs!
Hainan Huanghuali has the following main uses:
Wood use: Huanghuali is a top-grade material for carving crafts and precious furniture. It has a fine texture, with visible or invisible grains. The scarred areas present a circular halo pattern the size of a copper coin, which is natural and beautiful!
At the same time, Huanghuali wood is rich in natural wood fragrance, which is refreshing and lasts for many years. In addition, Huanghuali wood has a small shrinkage rate, is not easy to deform, feels warm, and is hard and resistant to corrosion.
Medical effects: According to ancient medical books, Huanghuali has medicinal value and can be used to extract medicinal agarwood, which has the effects of stopping bleeding and relieving pain, promoting qi and activating blood circulation!
It is used to treat heart and stomach diseases, vomiting, coronary heart disease, and has unique therapeutic effects, especially for patients with skin allergies and hypertension.
Daily health function: Hainan Huanghuali wood powder has a mysterious aroma, which can relax muscles, promote blood circulation and improve sleep. Based on the principle of curing diseases by smelling fragrance, Hainan Huanghuali wood powder can be made into pillow cores, and then made into health pillows.
Cao Dongfang began to popularize science about golden nanmu and huanghuali wood!
......
"These three types of wood are all good. Rosewood is not used to make furniture, but it can be used for beautification. The others can be made into furniture.
Golden nanmu is good, it has the fragrance of nanmu and is insect-resistant! This way it won’t attract insects! "Song Xianxian thought of beauty again.
"It's okay to use rosewood to make furniture. I have a lot of rosewood. I don't need much for beauty treatments. Don't worry if I don't have any!"
"Song Qianguo, you want to make furniture. Can you find the right person? We do it too. I want a set as well." Song Xianxian said very domineeringly.
“It really exists in the East. I’ll go ask my master, who brags about his rosewood furniture to me every day.
I have a painting by Tang Bohu in my hand, which I found when I was in the army! "Song Qianguo said happily.
"I didn't expect that you could get Tang Bohu's paintings while serving as a soldier. That's amazing!"
"That's right. I did exchange some old items for something when I was in the army, including a urn from Diaoyao and a Ming Dynasty vase with twined flowers! You must be envious, right?
Call me brother, I can give you everything, I'm generous! "Song Qianguo was a little proud.
"Tsk, what good things are you thinking about!" Song Xianxian said and then looked at Cao Dongfang.
“Don’t worry, I have all the porcelain from the five famous kilns, and I also have old items from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which I have not handed over to the state.
It’s expensive to keep these old items. "
"We have them, but we don't want yours, Song Qianguo's. If you want me to call you brother, you have no hope in this life!" Song Xianxian felt that she was fine again and stood up.
"Oh, it's all over again. Song Xianxian, you haven't called me brother for ten years. How dare you do that?" Song Qianguo was helpless.
"Wait until you have something I don't have and you like it! You can't do that now."
"You have a good memory! I'll find someone to make furniture!" Song Qianguo had no choice.
"Okay, hurry up, or you won't be able to make it in time for the wedding!"
"You have good skills. Make a few more sets. Make ten sets at the same time!"
Song Xianxian: “…”
Everyone in the Song family: "......"
You are really awesome, thirty sets of furniture at once. Can you use up all these furniture?
I won't argue with you. You have money and wood. You can do whatever you want as long as you are happy.
"Dongfang, thirty sets of furniture are too many. We can't use them all. We can't use them all at all!"
“Send it to someone!”
Well! Giving it as a gift is a very strong reason!
......
Shortly after finishing dinner at his mother-in-law's house, Cao Dongfang took Song Xianxian away. The two children had just had their diapers changed and had just finished feeding.
Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian decided to take the child for a walk, take a look at the nearby streets, and then walk back home.
Song Xianxian hasn't been here for half a year. She will take a walk around when she has time and opportunity.
When you leave the compound, you can take a look at several supply and marketing cooperatives, but there are not many supplies inside. After the Chinese New Year, even agricultural and sideline products are scarce.
......
"Dongfang, sister-in-law, take the child out." At the gate of the courtyard, he ran into Xu Damao before entering.
This guy seems to be getting much better. It has only been one month and twenty days since January 6th.
He is almost healed now. The left arm doesn't even have the plaster on it anymore, and his right leg doesn't seem to be in serious condition. He can move around on his own with the help of a crutch.
There's not even a single person around. It was said that it would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but it's only been fifty days. Are the protagonists and supporting actors in TV dramas so awesome?
Can Newton's coffin still be held down? Liu Haizhong was like this back then, too. I admire you.
"Da Mao, you are well now. Congratulations. Let's go out for a walk. We just came back from my mother-in-law's house. We are tired. Let's go back first. Bye!"
"Xu Damao, goodbye!"
"Dongfang, goodbye, sister-in-law!" Xu Damao didn't dare to use his little tricks on Cao Dongfang.
After separating from Xu Damao, Cao Dongfang and Song Xianxian returned home.
......
"Mom is resting. Cao Jiajia and He Yushui are eating fried chicken. Put the kids down and we'll take a break too."
"Xu Damao is pretty good. It's only been fifty days, but he looks better and can go out by himself!"
"Xu Damao is more awesome. He broke his leg in the backyard before, and he also went to work for more than a month. Compared to him, Xu Damao is not as good as him!"
“It seems that this is the first time Xu Damao has left the compound since he broke his leg, and it has only been fifty days.
"Did Xu Damao pay Yi Zhonghai and the others the one hundred yuan he owed?" Song Xianxian asked.
"The money was given a long time ago. On the third day after I was discharged from the hospital, Yi Zhonghai went to ask for it.
Xu Damao wouldn't dare to owe money to these ten people and not pay them back. Even his father Xu Fugui wouldn't dare to do that.
It’s fine now, I’ll deal with him when I have the chance later! “Cao Dongfang is annoyed by Xu Damao’s cleverness.
"Xu Damao deserves to be punished!"
