Lu Baocheng has no experience in the end, and the aura that Meng Zitao said, he can't feel it over and over again, he can only judge from the taste, and the two pieces of Qi Nan on the table are quite good.

"Is there a problem with both of these pieces of Qinan?" Lu Baoqian asked.

"No, it's the only one that's problematic. Meng Zitao pointed to Qi Nan in the box on the left: "If you smell and compare the fragrance of the two, you should be able to appreciate the slight difference." ”

Lu Baocheng carefully tasted the taste of the two pieces of Qi Nan, and said a little embarrassedly: "I can't smell much difference, how did this thing come about?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "This is not made, but artificially planted, and the finished product can only have this effect after a certain amount of treatment, and the price is actually not low, and the planting time is at least five years or more." ”

"Ah, can the planted Qi Nan be so close to the natural one?"

Lu Baocheng's perception is a little subversive, he has seen the introduction, Qi Nan is grown in the subtropical rainforest, tropical rainforest of the agarwood tree after thousands of years or even 10,000 years of growth, after lodging, subjected to termite eat, and termite saliva penetrates into the book, and then after thousands of years or even 10,000 years to form Qi Nan.

It is unbelievable that Qi Nan, which has been formed for thousands of years, can be successfully planted in five years, and the two are still almost the same.

Ye Tong had Meng Zitao's reminder, and also thought of the origin of this piece of high imitation Qi Nan, and said: "I have also heard before, some people have cooperated with people on the treasure island to plant Qi Nan, and have achieved success, five years of incense can sink into water, and the fragrance is also very good, it is said that it is difficult to identify, I didn't believe it before, but now I can only say that there is a sky outside the sky when I see the real thing." ”

Lu Baocheng frowned and said, "Except for aura, is there no other way to identify it?"

Meng Zitao said: "Although it is difficult to identify, but there is also a way, the color of this kind of Qi Nan is either black or gray or light yellow, the black one pretends to be Qiong Island Qi Nan, so if you see the black Qiong Island Qi Nan, then you have to be careful, others will sometimes be buried in the soil for a period of time to take out and pretend to be soil sinking, if you use this method, it is not so natural." ”

Lu Baocheng sighed and said: "But for us ordinary people, it is still difficult to identify, it seems that in the future, we can only ask experts like you to help identify Qi Nan." ”

Meng Zitao and Ye Tong both smiled, although this kind of thing is good for experts like them, but counterfeiting and shoddy products are rampant, and the damage to this industry is not small, relatively speaking, it still does more harm than good.

Ye Tong said: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry for today's incident, I'll give you a nine-percent discount on this piece of Qi Nan." ”

Lu Baocheng smiled and said, "No need, you didn't mean it, and besides, it was you who proposed to be identified." ”

Ye Tong was about to speak, and found that a phone came in, so he asked everyone to wait, and walked to the side to answer the phone, and after a while, his face changed, he looked a little annoyed, and his emotions did not calm down when he returned to his seat.

"What's wrong?" Lu Baocheng was a little curious.

"Alas. Ye Tong smiled bitterly: "It's a joke, the original owners of these two pieces of Qi Nan used this kind of planting Qi Nan to trade with others, and also used me as an advertisement, but it was debunked on the spot." ”

This is embarrassing, it would have been quite embarrassing to slap this kind of thing, but it was still spread out in this situation, and Ye Tong's embarrassment could even be felt by Meng Zitao and Lu Baocheng.

Ye Tong said depressedly: "The key thing is that there are still many peers on his side, and it was my friend who called me just now, and now I have lost my face to Siberia." ”

"Shopkeeper Ye, I don't think this matter can be left like this. The face has been lost, and Meng Zitao feels that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath.

Ye Tong said: "Yes, I also think that this matter can't be left like this, Mr. Lu, I won't sell this piece of Qi Nan for the time being, I'll notify you next time if there is a suitable one, please don't mind." ”

Lu Baocheng said that it didn't matter, and then asked, "Shopkeeper Ye, what are those people doing together?"

Ye Tong said: "There are a few peers over there who are holding a fragrance tasting meeting, and in addition to tasting incense, they will also do some transactions. ”

Lu Baocheng hurriedly asked, "Then can we go and have a look?"

"Uh, alright, let's go now. Ye Tong thought about it and agreed.

"I'm going back to Lingshi today, and I'm going to catch a plane in the afternoon, so I'm not going. Meng Zitao was a little hesitant, worried that it would be too late to come up,

"What time are you on the plane?"

"It's past six o'clock. ”

"That's just in time, let's go together. ”

Ye Tong also said that it would not be long before Meng Zitao agreed.

The three of them got out of the car at the door of a clubhouse, walked into the clubhouse, and came to a small hall under the guidance of the waiter.

"Oh, why is our Ye Da shopkeeper here?" Seeing Ye Tong coming in, someone immediately said in a weird manner, obviously this person should not deal with Ye Tong.

Ye Tong sneered: "You Shao Daxi can come, can't I Ye someone come?"

Meng Zitao followed Ye Tong in, looked around, and saw seven or eight people sitting inside, except for three of them, he didn't know anyone else.

These three, one is Xu Youhao's granddaughter Ren Kexin, the other is Zhu Tianhua, who has eaten soft-shelled turtles in the hands of Meng Zitao a few times, and the remaining one was met when he participated in the association competition.

Seeing Meng Zitao coming in, Ren Kexin had a smile on his face, while Zhu Tianhua was very depressed, how could he participate in a private incense tasting meeting, and he could actually meet Meng Zitao, is it because he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today!

Shao Daxi is a middle-aged man with meticulous combed hair, and when he saw that Ye Tong had brought other people, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Ye Da shopkeeper, do you understand the rules, you still drag your family with you, you still ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ren Kexin: "Zitao, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you go to my grandfather's place to play?"

Meng Zitao said apologetically: "I have been busy during this time, and when I come back to the capital, I will visit Xu Lao again." ”

Ren Kexin said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you have to go back next time, are you going to leave today?"

Meng Zitao smiled apologetically: "Yes, I took the plane at six o'clock this afternoon. ”

Ren Kexin couldn't say anything when he heard this, so he made an introduction to those present.

When they learned of Meng Zitao's identity, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they were very enthusiastic on the surface, especially Shao Daxi, who was weird just now, compared with before, they were even more like two people. After learning Lu Baocheng's identity, he was even more like a Lu boss, just like a dog-legged follower, and the speed of changing his face made Meng Zitao feel amazed.

"I didn't expect Mr. Meng and Mr. Lu to be able to come, it's really an honor to be contemptible......"

The convener of the incense tasting meeting is talking about it, named Gao Yunshi, a senior incense expert who is quite famous in the industry.

Gao Yunshi said some polite words, and then announced the beginning of the incense tasting.

"Sister, have you just started tasting incense?" Meng Zitao asked in a low voice.

Ren Ketie said: "Yes, just now we discussed the incense products they brought, by the way, do you know the steps of tasting incense here?"

Meng Zitao said: "Before, Shopkeeper Ye briefly said it, but it is not very clear. ”

"Then I'll tell you about it. Ren Kexin whispered an introduction.

The rules here are, first, the person who enters the incense banquet, first, there should be no perfume or other peculiar smells on the body; second, when passing the incense to the furnace, it should be smooth and dignified, and the non-furnace owner should not fiddle with the incense ash and incense pieces; third, when holding the furnace and tasting incense, it is advisable to be stable and steady, and the elbows are drooping; after tasting the incense three times, the furnace will be passed on immediately, and the furnace must not be overpowered; fourth, the person attending the table should dress plainly and elegantly, and do not wear heavy makeup; fifth, the person attending the table should mute or turn off the mobile phone and put it in the storage box provided by the furnace owner.

After entering the table, the furnace owner will change the incense for two rounds after two rounds, and after three furnaces, the incense will be completed. Each person tastes the fragrance three times per round, and the first time the nose is cleared and the miscellaneous smell is removed. The second nasal contemplation, visualizing the fragrance. The third time I recalled, I affirmed the idea. After three times, it is passed to the next person on the left hand in turn, and passed to the furnace master for a patrol.

After listening to Ren Kexin's introduction, Meng Zitao hurriedly turned his mobile phone to silent mode.

When Ren Kexin introduced, the performers on the stage began to perform incense with the sound of the piano around the beam, she first lit a piece of charcoal, and then used the method of incense to make the taste of agarwood fully volatilized, and the whole process was very elegant and pleasing to the eye.

However, the formal tasting will not be so troublesome, Ren Ketie said, this tasting will use a charging incense burner, heated by a heating wire, separated by mica sheets, so that the volatile fragrance of agarwood emanation.

According to Gao Yunshi, the first is agarwood from Vietnam, which has a strong floral fragrance.

began to taste the incense, the incense burner turned around in everyone's hands, and then everyone expressed their opinions. Continue to taste the fragrance.

The first four incense courses are all agarwood from abroad, and the fifth is agarwood from Jianfengling in Qiongdao. After tasting the incense, the guests expressed their opinions on the fragrance comparison of "domestic products" and "imported goods" of agarwood. Some people prefer the first few "imported" ones, but Mencius Tao prefers domestic products, for him, this incense is more slender and pure.

Except for Lu Baocheng, who is not even an amateur, the other people who came to participate in the incense tasting meeting have their own opinions on the incense road, and the opinions after tasting the incense are also pointed.

For example, Shao Daxi may have some problems in terms of conduct, but in the incense road, he has very good achievements, and some of the insights he put forward have a sense of eye-catching.

This made Meng Zitao somewhat emotional, of course, he still had no change in Shao Daxi's character.

In addition, Meng Zitao's performance also made everyone admire, not only the allusions of agarwood were told in the process of speaking, but also the accurate comments on each type of agarwood, and he was able to put forward his own unique opinions, like an expert who has been immersed in it for a long time.
