This table case is more than 4 meters long, half a meter wide and 10 centimeters thick, the entire case surface is actually a board, not spliced! The luxury of Huanghuali made Chen Qiusheng respect. However, this table case has gone through the cutting board from the rice supply to the large canteen, and although there are no scars on its surface, it has witnessed the vicissitudes of time.
The table was originally treasured by a timber merchant surnamed Zheng, but after liberation, due to family changes, it was donated to the village nunnery. The villagers, however, did not treat the table as a treasure, but used it for a variety of purposes. Although Chen Qiusheng was once moved, in the face of the words "for divine affairs", he dismissed the idea of buying.
However, the legend of this yellow flower pear offering table does not end there. In desperation, the village held an "auction", in which several merchants participated in the auction, and finally a merchant surnamed Fu bought it for 248,000 yuan. The deal was already a huge sum for the village at the time, but this table case began its international journey.
