Real scene red envelope big draw

There is no fixed time for this.

"Well, I'll go down later."

"Okay", after Zhou Rui hung up the phone, he called the second and third.

······

Not long after, people began to come out of the community.

The first one to come out was a middle-aged man wearing a training suit.

Holding a string of wooden bracelets of unknown material in his hand, he was not only playing with them.

The middle-aged man looked around, but he didn't see the delivery person.

When the middle-aged man saw Zhou Rui, he couldn't help but stepped up and asked.

"Brother, did you see a delivery place just now?"

"Hi, I'm the courier, what's your name?"

"You are a courier? Impossible?" The middle-aged man gave Zhou Rui a surprised look, with a look of disbelief.

Because it was temporary and only worked for one day, Zhou Rui didn't wear the work clothes of "Huatong Express".

Misunderstood.

"I'm really a courier." Zhou Rui opened the car door, and there was a dazzling array of things inside, all of which were couriers.

"Brother, it's awesome, you even drive a Zunyue x5, this car costs more than 100 million." The eyes of the middle-aged man couldn't help but brighten up.

"150 million", Zhou Rui nodded.

"Brother, are all of you couriers so rich?" the middle-aged man couldn't help asking.

"My friend has something to do at the moment, I'll take the place and help out." Zhou Rui smiled lightly, he didn't know the other party well, so he didn't want to say too much.

But obviously, the other party is an acquaintance.

"With a friend like you, do you still use express delivery?"

"What you said, you can afford a house here, which means you are not short of money, and you should have poor relatives in your family."

"That's true," the middle-aged man nodded.

"My name is Zhong Haifeng, my phone number is 151..."

Zhou Rui got into the car and began to search.

After a while, he took out the other party's courier.

"Sir, please sign for it."

"Wait a minute," at this moment, the middle-aged man yelled.

Zhou Rui couldn't help shivering, and almost threw away the courier in his hand.

"Brother, what are you yelling at, people are scary, do you know that?" Zhou Rui was speechless.

Can you give me some signs?

"Sorry, the bracelet on your hand." Zhong Haifeng pointed to the bracelet on Zhou Rui's right hand, his face full of surprise.

Zhou Rui wears a watch on his left hand and a bracelet on his right hand.

The bracelet on Zhou Rui's hand was also obtained from the red envelope.

It has the functions of praying for blessings, warding off evil spirits, transshipment, and gathering wealth.

Zhou Rui also put it on his wrist for psychological comfort.

When you are free, just play one or two.

Bracelets are Buddhist beads, originally called "rosary beads", which refer to a certain number of beads that run through a thread, and are used for counting when chanting Buddha or mantras.

In our country, Chinese people know the title of Buddhist beads, which should start with the translation of "Muzizi Jing" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, there is a preserved clay statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva from the Sixteen Kingdoms period, which is a statue with Buddhist beads hanging on its neck.

There are many kinds of materials for making bracelets.

For example - bodhi seed.

As Buddhist beads, there are quite a lot of bracelets made of bodhi seeds.

However, although most people wear bracelets made of bodhi seeds, they don't know much about bodhi seeds.

Bodhi seed is not the fruit of the Bodhi tree, but refers to a herbaceous plant named Chuangu that is produced near the snow-capped mountains. The flowers are spike-shaped, firm in summer and autumn, round and white in color, with a hard shell like enamel.Because it is often used as a number of beads for chanting Buddha, it is also called Bodhi.

The woody one is its other species, and it is only found in Tiantai Mountain in my country, which is called Tiantai Bodhi.

Today, "Bodhi" is already a general term, representing the meaning of "enlightenment".

"Da Tang Western Regions" says: The Bodhi tree is the tree of Pippala.In the past, when the Buddha was alive, he was hundreds of feet tall, and he was cut down repeatedly, especially four or five feet high.The Buddha sat under it and became enlightened, so it is called the Bodhi tree.

There are more than 30 varieties of Buddha beads named after Bodhi.

Some are named according to the place of origin, such as Tiantai Bodhi, Tianzhu Bodhi, etc.; some are named according to the texture, such as Xingyue Bodhi, Hyacinth Bodhi, etc.

various kinds.

Except bodhi seeds, the rest belong to the two materials of "jade" and "wood".

Jade is more precious because of its bright color, crystal texture, brilliant luster, hardness and durability, and its rarity.

The more common types of gemstones are: crystal, peridot, alexandrite, turquoise, malachite, hibiscus, aventurine, lapis lazuli, tourmaline, garnet, sandstone and many other categories.

There are also some extravagant people who use the four precious stones, diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald, to tailor their designs.

Because these gemstones are extremely precious, most of them are used by the royal family or wealthy gentry to make bracelets with these gemstones, and ordinary people cannot get them.

For example, in the book "The Chronicle of the Old Monk Xuyun", it is said that the old monk Xuyun entrusted Master Kuan Hang to bring a string of "Seven Colors and Nine Treasures Arhat Pearls" presented by a certain prince to Hong Kong and hand them over to Cen Xuelu Layman as a souvenir records.

For thousands of years, jade has symbolized auspiciousness. It is said that it can avoid evil, avoid disasters and bring luck. Skewers are also very popular.

However, the bracelet in Zhou Rui's hand was not gold, silver or jade, but made of wood.

Chapter 460 The culture of the best huanghuali bracelet

Wooden bracelets are arguably one of the most common bracelets.

It is also among the objects that many collectors like to collect.

Especially some "literary play" lovers are extremely obsessed.

There are many types of wooden bracelets, which are divided into bamboo bracelets and wooden bracelets.

Bamboo is soft and hollow, not easy to be broken by wind and rain, and its branches and leaves are green and never wither through cold and heat, so the ancients often compared it to a gentleman who "can't take it when it's a big festival".

So deeply some literati like it.

Bamboos include huang bamboo, qiong bamboo, asparagus bamboo, arrow bamboo, palm bamboo, peach branch bamboo, variegated bamboo and so on.

Huang bamboo, firm and white skin; Qiong bamboo, high knot and solid; Arrow bamboo, strong and medium arrow, are all good materials for making bracelets.

In addition to bamboo, there are also materials such as pine, cypress, osmanthus, pepper, tung, and catalpa, all of which have different meanings.

Pines and cypresses are withered, which is a metaphor for steadfastness and longevity; cinnamon pepper is fragrant, which means that it is outstanding; tung is a beautiful tree, and the phoenix can live; catalpa is a good material, and it is used to make qin and se, all of which have certain meanings.

The more expensive wooden bracelets are mostly made of precious materials such as sandalwood, agarwood, Ganan, and ebony.

Sandalwood, also known as Zhan Tan, can be burned as a spice or used as medicine.

The commentary in "All Classics Yinyi" says: Zhantan, it is said that white sandalwood can cure fever, and red sandalwood can remove wind and swelling.

Agarwood is a kind of wood, spice and traditional Chinese medicine.When the heart of the agarwood plant is stimulated by trauma or fungal infection, it will secrete a large amount of resin with a strong fragrance.These parts are also called "water agarwood" because of their high density.

In many parts of the world, agarwood is a precious spice, which is used to burn incense, extract spices, add to wine, or directly carve into decorations.

Agarwood is also known as agarwood.Agarwood wood is hard, most of them do not sink in water, and taste slightly bitter and sweet.When burning, the smoke emits a strong aroma, and black oil oozes out.

Huanghuali wood is golden and warm in color, and the heartwood is darker in reddish brown or dark brown, with a texture of horns.Because the wood properties of huanghuali wood are extremely stable, it will not deform, crack or bend regardless of cold or heat. It has certain toughness and can be used to make various special-shaped furniture.

Its specific gravity is lighter, even lighter than mahogany.The texture of huanghuali wood is clear, like flowing water, very beautiful.

The most special thing is that there are many wood boils that are common in the wood grain. These wood boils are also very flat and not cracked, showing the texture of fox head, old man's head and old man's hair. .

There are also such as nanmu, ebony, chicken wing wood, rosewood and so on.

······

The bracelet in Zhou Rui's hand is a top-notch bracelet of "Huanghuali".

The beads on the bracelet have "ghost faces" on them.

More importantly, it is very oily.

On the outside of the huanghuali, there is a thick layer of patina.

It can be seen that Zhou Rui often plays with each other in normal times.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Rui was a little confused.

"Your bracelet is made of huanghuali, right?" Zhong Haifeng pointed at the bracelet on Zhou Rui's wrist, his eyes widened.

"Yes," Zhou Rui nodded.

He has been playing with this huanghuali bracelet for a long time.

"Can I take a look?" Zhong Haifeng asked very nervously.

He really likes the bracelet in Zhou Rui's hand.

"Okay, but you sign for your courier first." Zhou Rui nodded.

Things like bracelets and necklaces are best not to be touched by others.

But looking at the posture of the other party, it seems that if you don't let me touch it, I won't leave.

"Hey, good", Zhong Haifeng wrote his name, and then took the express from Zhou Rui's hand.

Because he didn't have white gloves, Zhong Haifeng rubbed his body vigorously to wipe off the sweat on his hands, and then took Zhou Rui's bracelet.

Seeing this, Zhong Haifeng was immediately astonished.

"Excellent, really excellent, this texture, this grimace, this oiliness", Zhong Haifeng was amazed.

I really like it more and more.

The more I look at it, the more I want it.

"Brother, can you transfer this bracelet to me?" Zhong Haifeng asked eagerly.

"I'm sorry, I can't," Zhou Rui shook his head.

"I can pay more, which will definitely satisfy you," Zhong Haifeng said hastily.

"That doesn't work either," Zhou Rui shook his head again.

"Besides, don't you already have it in your hand?" Zhou Rui looked at Zhong Haifeng's wrist.

On Zhong Haifeng's wrist, he was wearing a black bracelet.

"This one, can this compare with yours? I'm from sandalwood, and it's only a few thousand yuan. Yours is worth tens of thousands." There is no comparison between the two.

"I don't know, it was given by the elders." Zhou Rui shook his head.

In fact, he really didn't know how much it was worth.

"If you want it, you can go to the market to buy it. There should be what you want there." Zhou Rui was very puzzled.

"Yes, but not as superb as yours." The huanghuali bracelet in Zhou Rui's hand is the best of the best.

On the market, there is no sale at all.

"I see," Zhou Rui nodded.

"I really like Wenwan very much. It can be said that I am obsessed. Look at this." Then, Zhong Haifeng opened his courier.

Then take things out of it.

What Zhou Rui didn't expect was that it was still a bracelet.

But this time the bracelet is a long bracelet, and the material is different.

The beads on this bracelet are bodhi seeds.
