Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 96, Huanghuali Wood Arrives
Through sorting, Wang Li finally knew the number of valuable collections his family owned: nearly thirty boxes of ancient books and paintings before the Qing Dynasty, 400 pieces of bronzes, 500 pieces of porcelain, and nearly 300 other miscellaneous items. These were real antiques after being identified.

Only Wang Li knows about these things. Although they seem to be a lot now, the number will increase dramatically after the big storm comes.

So he didn't think it was too exaggerated, but Zheng Lan was shocked. After all, this was only the result of Wang Li's ten years of collection, and the collection cost was very low. Therefore, she had to admire Wang Li's choice of purchasing waste products at that time, which was really amazing.

Because based on her family background, knowledge and experience, she can see that Longguo will surely take off in the future, and the value of these things will increase exponentially.

On this day, good news came. The rosewood logs that Wang Li bought in South Island were finally shipped to Kyoto after several months of twists and turns. The sawmill had already notified Wang Li to pick up the wood.

The next day, Wang Li and his father went to the timber factory with cash to complete the delivery procedures. After Wang Li carefully inspected the timber, his father paid the balance.

The sawmill sent several vehicles to transport the rosewood to the underground parking lot in Wang Li’s garden.

After the car left the courtyard, he returned to the underground garage and sorted out the precious woods.

The three women in Wang Li's family did not come to watch. Only Wang Li's father and Lai San helped him sort the wood.

Wang Li took out his little notebook again and numbered all the huanghuali wood according to the size and quality of the wood, and planned the use of the wood.

Although he had purchased a lot of wood from the timber merchant in the early stage, the wood used in part of his main house was not the precious Huanghuali wood, but some other wood.

This time he planned to completely replace all the inferior wooden decorations and furniture with rosewood.

Although Wang Li's family did not quite understand his extreme behavior, he did not have many hobbies, so they did not stop him from doing this crazy thing. Yes, this method is crazy. After all, the original wood for decoration is already very good, and his method will inevitably waste some precious wood.

At this time, Wang Li was already immersed in crazy calculations and did not care about his family's strange feelings. He was planning and designing how to use the wood.

I also fantasized about living in a house with all the decorations and furniture made of huanghuali wood, the roof beams made of golden nanmu, and the roof supports made of the finest red sandalwood.

In short, time passed quickly as Wang Li stored supplies, hunted, worked, read, and enjoyed life.

It was the end of 1958, and Wang Li returned from hunting.

The weather had turned cold, and this was his last time to go hunting. He had killed a wild boar and a bear that was about to hibernate, a pretty good harvest, and now all the prey was in the storage space.

Just as Wang Li was about to reach home, he keenly sensed three malicious eyes staring at him.

This made him alert. After all, he already knew Zheng Lan's identity, and he also knew that there would be foreign special agents who might come looking for Zheng Lan again.

Therefore, he was very wary of these malicious looks.

He did not show it at this time, and walked towards his front door as if he had not noticed anything. After Wang Li entered the door, he was even more certain that someone was staring at his house, because these eyes were not withdrawn from him until he entered the door.
