Chapter 129 Mahogany

 Xu Ning from the security unit didn't know where to tie magnets to the head of the baton. There was one in each opening.

This thing is effective on things containing iron, and is basically useless on other metals, but it can act as a deterrent.

I don’t know if this kind of inspection will become the norm. A gust of inspection will have no effect.

After pushing the bicycle and standing there for a while, I no longer waited for get off work. I pushed it outside the door, got on the bicycle, and rushed to the address given by Sha Zhu, which was in the alley beside Haizi.

When passing by the flea market in front of Wen Saner's house, I turned in.

At this time, the sky was starting to get dark, and the bustling crowd in the market was moving to leave. It was rare for Li Xuewu to push the cart in like this.

This market should be managed. The stalls or carts on both sides are neatly arranged, and it is not difficult to walk around with a cart.

Passing by a group of pigeon farmers who were preparing to close their stalls, the cages were moved causing the pigeons to coo.

After walking around for a while, I saw a seller selling second-hand kitchen utensils and walked over with a cart.

The stall owner was a burly man in his late thirties. He was loading used goods onto a trolley. When he saw Li Xuewu approaching with a cart, he quickly put down what he was doing and asked with a smile, "What do you want to see?"

Li Xuewu pulled over to the side of the car, squatted in front of the stall and tapped a dark brown frying spoon. The quality was pretty good, and it made a clanging sound when he knocked it.

Seeing that Li Xuewu didn't reply, but squatted on the ground and looked at the frying spoon, it was time to buy kitchen utensils. The stall owner didn't care about Li Xuewu's attitude and said with a smile, "Brother, we use all the kitchen utensils for ourselves. Master.

I've got a job and money is tight, why don't I just sell it to make money?"

Li Xuewu leaned over and took a look. The bottom of the pot was scraped clean and there were no lines, but traces of use could still be seen. The wooden handle of the large spoon could also be seen that it had been used for a long time.

"How much does a frying spoon like this cost?"

The big man said, "This kind of wok is Zhangqiu's old craft. Please give me 9 cents."

The common people called the wok a wok, but this big man stubbornly corrected the name.

Li Xuewu asked, "How many mouths do you have?"

When the big man heard that this comrade wanted to buy more, he quickly replied, "There are still 5 mouths left."

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'll pick it up later. Do you have a hand spoon? Give me a good quality one."

The big man nodded hurriedly, pointed to the car and said, "Yes, yes, it's over here, take a look."

Li Xuewu walked to the cart and looked at it. The big man had put it away earlier. There were seven or eight white steel hand spoons with wooden handles in the box. They were okay and met his needs.

I picked one that was in good condition and picked it up.

The hand spoon Li Xuewu wants is a spoon with a long handle and a relatively large head. It can be used to add water, soup, stir, and seasoning.

"First Evolution"

I looked at the handleless double-eared iron pot on the car, which was about 40 centimeters in diameter and in pretty good condition. I asked the big man next to me, "How much does this cost?"

The big man didn't know whether Li Xuewu wanted one with a handle or one without a handle, but he still replied, "The handleless one is a cast iron pot, for stews. You can give me 80 cents."

Li Xuewu nodded and pointed at the wooden handle wok and handleless stew pot on the ground with the spoon in his hand and said, "One wok, one iron pan, let me take a look at the dishes."

Knives and chopping boards, I’m going to fire them myself. If you have them all, I’ll buy them all from you.”

The big man said happily, "Then I'll pick it up for you."

While talking, the big man stacked the two pots that Li Xuewu picked out and placed them on the side, and opened the goods that had just been put in the car.

The big man said to Li Xuewu, "I packed up a whole set of cooking tools a few days ago. You are in luck today. Come and take a look. You can pick out what you need."

Li Xuewu raised his eyes and looked into the car. It was really complete, as the big man said, he had brought out a cook's entire set of tools.

The complete set of pots includes woks, steamers, soup pots, casseroles, hot pots, and pans.

The complete set of knives includes slice knives, mulberry knives, civil and military knives, machetes, peeling knives, peeling knives, bone chopping knives, deboning knives, pork knives, and roasting knives.

There are also some colanders, cutting boards, bowls, plates, rolling pins and other tools.

"Except for the two I picked out just now, I want all the other pots in this set. I also want this set of knives. I don't want the rest. I feel comfortable using new bowls and plates."

The big man pointed at the chopping board and rolling pin anxiously and said, "Our chopping board is made of ironwood and will never shed slag. In the early years, ironwood was also produced in the mountains here, but it has long been chopped down. Look at this piece.

It’s rare to see such a well-dressed ironwood chopping board.”

Li Xuewu knew that ironwood is a famous hardwood in the world. Ironwood is hard in texture and has excellent mechanical properties, but it is rarely seen in later generations, so he really doesn't know that it can still be used as a chopping board.

The chopping board that the big man is pointing to is more than 50 centimeters in diameter. It is a cross-cut log with a width of more than ten centimeters and is surrounded by a circle of iron hoops.

Seeing that the big man was really a little anxious, Li Xuewu looked at this thing and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I want it."

Seeing that the sales promotion was effective, the big man added, "Look at our two rolling pins. They are made of genuine Chinese toon wood. Look at how deep the color is. If you smell it, they all have a fragrant smell."

As he spoke, he asked Li Xuewu to smell it, and found that it did have the fragrance of toon, just like the smell of toon leaves that he eats.

"Chinese toon wood is very corrosion-resistant and can repel insects. As the old saying goes, "mahogany" refers to toon wood."

The big man looked like you'd make a profit if you caught up, and said, "You also know that toon leaves are edible, and they are often picked, which limits the growth of the toon tree, so we rarely see that kind of full-grown tree."

Li Xuewu couldn't laugh or cry as he took the two rolling pins in his hand. The big man also told Li Xuewu the origin of the two rolling pins.

"There are many kinds of rolling pins, including single-handed sticks, double-handed sticks, olive sticks, flower rolling sticks, and walking mallets."

"Our two rolling pins are commonly used by chefs in Henan. For dumpling wrappers and wonton wrappers, we use small rolling pins with pointed ends. When rolling noodles, we use large, thick, long and equal-diameter rolling pins."

Li Xuewu knew what the big man meant. The white gum masters in the north were the most famous ones in Shandong and Henan. The big man wanted to put nameplates on these two rolling pins.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, you can agree on the price."

Li Xuewu saw that this man was also a chef, otherwise he would not have been able to explain it in such detail and in such a clear way.

Although the big man was surprised that Li Xuewu asked for so much, he was really happy. He hurriedly helped Li Xuewu tie these things with straw ropes and hung them on the back seat of the bicycle. Xu Ning, who was in charge of the security department, didn’t know where he got them.

Magnets were attached to the heads of the batons, one in each opening.
