Shu Ze didn't bother to talk to him more, and said with a smile: "Then I wish you good luck." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Thank you Shu Shao for your kindness. Luo Haixu hugged Shu Ze and left with the others behind him, one of them, a blonde and blue-eyed foreign youth, who also looked at Meng Zitao and Shu Ze.

"It's really unfortunate that I actually met this kid!" Shu Ze said very unhappily.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This boat is not his family, why do you care about him? ”

Shu Ze smiled: "It's just that I feel very unhappy when I see this guy, and every time I see him, I really want to beat him." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "If you want to beat it, you can beat it, I'll be a cheerleader next to me." ”

"You kid......"

In a happy atmosphere, the two had a fun time on the boat, during which Shu Ze also met several business partners, in addition to contacting feelings, the focus was to introduce Meng Zitao, which can be regarded as adding a little network to Meng Zitao.

Time passed imperceptibly, and soon it was time for a free trade fair.

The free trade was arranged by the organizer in a hall on the ground floor, and when Meng Zitao and his party of four came to the scene, many customers who were ready to sell their items had already put some of the items they were carrying on the shelves prepared by the organizer.

These things can be sold or exchanged, and as long as both parties are willing, then the deal can be sold. There are not a few guests who come to Taobao and sell treasures, Meng Zitao looked at their clothes, it seems that many of them should be rich and noble, of course the things these people take out will not be bad, otherwise they can't afford to lose that person.

Of course, there are also some people who don't look very well dressed, and these people are likely to be the owners of tomorrow's auction tomorrow, probably wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

When the group arrived, the hall was already a little lively, and from time to time I saw someone bargaining, and some people made a deal on the spot.

Meng Zitao roughly glanced at the items that had been placed in the hall, and most of the items sold were antiques, such as celebrity calligraphy and paintings, jade jewelry, bottles and jars, etc., although they looked precious, they were not rare items for Mencius Tao, and the price of such things must not be low, so Mencius Tao felt a little unrefreshed.

For Shu Ze, he likes these things more, for him money is not a problem, the key is to be real and precious, and the things here seem to meet his requirements.

So, Shu Ze pulled Meng Zitao around and helped him do the identification. Meng Zitao also has the right to add experience to himself. After walking around like this for a while, Shu Ze also gained something.

Shu Ze paid for a piece of Qianlong's white jade poetry plaque of the Qing Dynasty, and at this time, Meng Zitao noticed that there was a large circle of people surrounding a stall not far away, everyone seemed to be discussing something, and from time to time they were pointing at the stall.

Curious, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze walked over together, and when they got closer, they found that there were several pieces of wood on this person's stall, and they were all agarwood.

Agarwood and agarwood are not the same thing, agarwood is a mixture of oil and wood fibers secreted by trees after agarwood is injured.

Everyone has heard of gambling stones, gambling on walnuts and so on, and playing gambling is now the most popular thing, it is thrilling, is the favorite of players from all walks of life.

Betting on agarwood, as the name suggests, is to buy the embryo of agarwood, that is, agarwood, and then go to the material yourself. Those who bet on agarwood want to open a piece of oily water sink with a knife, such as betting on Qi Nan, if you win the bet, the value is naturally sky-high.

Of course, gambling is very risky, and if you are not careful, there will be a loss of money. When it comes to gambling, you have to keep a calm mind, and if you can afford to play, you have to afford to lose.

However, there will always be some instances of gambling materials making money in the circle of cultural play, which really makes many players excited, so many people, especially those local tyrants, are quite bold, and they are often tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of big materials, of course, there must be a lot of people who lose the bet.

Last month, Meng Zitao heard that a big boss in Ling City went to Qiongdao to inspect the project, and happened to come across an agarwood embryo that looked "old, weak, sick and disabled" on the outside, so he decided to gamble and bought it for 20 million.

"Is this a bet on agarwood?" Shu Ze stretched out his head to look at it, he turned his head to look at Meng Zitao: "Zitao, do you want to bet too, maybe it can rise sharply?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "In the past, we said that the jade gambling stone 'a knife is poor, a knife is rich, and a knife wears linen', gambling on agarwood is not only the same, but even more, even with today's level of science and technology, if you look at it on the surface, you can't judge the texture of an agarwood, and compared to gambling stones, there is no special method at all, it all depends on luck, I still forget it." ”

Shu Ze smiled: "Isn't this right, you are lucky, maybe you can bet on Qi Nan?"

Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders: "Let's talk about this later, besides, there are good and bad luck, it can't be good luck all the time." ”

When the two were talking, the onlookers who had been discussing finally made a move: "Boss, how much is this agarwood?"

"Three million. The boss gestured.

The surface of this agarwood is quite rich in oil, and there are many places of "crooked melon and cracked jujube", these are places where it is possible to have agarwood, and the overall calculation of three million is indeed not very expensive.

The person who inquired was quite satisfied with the price, but he still paid the price, and the boss refused, so he had to agree.

Swiped the card and paid, and the man took the material to untie the wood, and there was a device for unraveling the wood on the ship, but because the noise was relatively loud, it was put in the next room.

Some people start, one after another someone opens an inquiry, someone makes a deal, and of course some people feel that the price is not appropriate.

Meng Zitao also pretended to look at the remaining agarwood, in fact, he already had a goal, but Shu Ze was next to him, he couldn't show it too obviously, he couldn't choose a piece of agarwood with a lot of money.

After a while, the result of the first cutting came, and the buyer was full of joy to open the material, but who knew that after the opening was simply a bolt from the blue. The raw material only has a layer of grease on the surface, and the inside is still white wood, and there is no incense at all, and the layer of agarwood on the surface cannot reach the volume of making beads at all, which can be said to be a big loss.

In fact, gambling on agarwood is not like gambling on stones, unless you are particularly lucky, otherwise the profit is not so big, and if you make a mistake, you may lose all your money. This is also the fundamental reason why gambling on agarwood is not famous for gambling stones.

The first result is so unexpected, greatly affecting the enthusiasm of buyers, the stall owner is also wryly smiling, although he is not particularly familiar with agarwood, but he brought these few agarwood, have let the knowledgeable see, generally even if there is a problem, it is unlikely to come and go so big, only one percent of the probability of the result, so it was encountered by himself.

The buyers, who were originally going to make a small gamble, were frightened to retreat from the first result, although they were all rich people, it was impossible to give money for nothing.

At this time, Shu Ze saw Luo Haixu approaching, and was disgusted, and said with a smile: "Yo, Luo Shao, it seems that the harvest is good." ”

"It's okay, it's definitely not as much as Shu Shao's gain. Luo Haixu snorted, saw the things on the stall, and said with a smile: "Why, Shu Shao didn't choose an agarwood?"

Shu Ze said: "You didn't choose, why am I embarrassed to choose?"

Luo Haixu said: "I'm not going to choose." ”

At this time, Shu Ze noticed that Meng Zitao next to him was giving him a look, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Luo Shao, is there a chance to meet, why don't we make another bet today?"

Luo Haixu hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What bet?"

Shu Ze smiled: "Of course it's a bet on agarwood, buy one for a while, see who can bet up, and the winner can choose any thing in the loser's hand, what do you think?"

Luo Haixu hesitated again, and then agreed, he really didn't believe it, and he would even lose the bet.

"I'll do this, but who's going to come first?"

"To be fair, guess whether you win or lose. ”

"Good. ”

Of course, this is Meng Zitao's guess, and needless to say, the result is that Meng Zitao won.

In Luo Haixu's slightly apprehensive mood, Meng Zitao chose an agarwood that looked like a red clay sinking.

Laterite agarwood is the most well-known agarwood, produced in the red clay to the mountains and forests, and the incense material is mainly reddish-brown. The aroma of red clay is strong, the penetrating power is very strong, sweet with a little spicy, and there is some almond smell, and the smell is very rich. It is difficult to have large pieces of incense in laterite Shen, the largest is only the thickness of the arm, and the size of a small goat's horn is already quite precious.

To say, the price of laterite agarwood is actually not expensive, and it is the cheapest of the many agarwood trees on the scene, Luo Haixu really doesn't understand, how could Meng Zitao choose this one, is there anything greasy in it?

"Made, why is this kid always unexpected!" Luo Haixu couldn't help but scold, but after thinking about it, he still chose wood according to the original plan, he didn't believe it, he was so unlucky!

"Let's pick it, let's unravel it. ”

Shu Ze was full of confidence in Meng Zitao, and the group went to unravel the raw materials together.

There are more machines, and they don't have to solve the material successively, and the solution of wood is not as troublesome as calcing, and the results are very fast.

"What! this ...... Why didn't I think of it?" Luo Haixu first saw his result, and then when he looked at Meng Zitao's side, he was suddenly stunned.

Shu Ze laughed: "Zi Qi Nan! Zi Tao, you are really powerful!"

Meng Zitao smiled faintly, and there was nothing to be proud of about this.

Purple chinan is one of Vietnam's specialties. It is also a kind of Vietnamese ripe agarwood, Vietnamese purple chinan has reddish-brown flesh, and the taste is numb and bitter. The high and uniform oil is the top grade, which can be divided into two kinds from the appearance, one is gray-purple and plate-like: the other is reddish-purple and twisted in silk.

Gray-purple plate purple chess is extremely rare, and can be called the best of purple chess. The nose is delicate and floral, and after five or six minutes it turns into an unforgettable, intense, sweet and cool aroma, with an almond note on the finish. The reddish-purple twisted filamentous purple Qi Nan, the first fragrance is also elegant and has a floral aroma, the fragrance is warm and mellow, with almond fragrance but no cool taste, and the tail fragrance has obvious milk.

These two kinds of chess Nan are very beautiful, but Meng Zitao personally prefers the gray-purple plate-shaped Qi Nan, and this piece is exactly this kind, and its value can definitely compete with Hainan's best green Qi Nan, and the red and purple Qi Nan is more common.

Because the humidity of the repatriation of Qi Nan is very high when it is unearthed, it is somewhat similar in appearance to the soft red soil that has not yet dried, and the fragrance has an almond flavor, so it is very easy to confuse people. In short, the fragrance of Qi Nan will change before and after and there is frankincense, and the red clay will not, so you should distinguish it carefully, otherwise you will not only lose but also make jokes.

Obviously, the seller just sold Zi Qinan as red clay.

"Alright, we can choose. ”

Luo Haixu had a gloomy face, and asked Meng Zitao to choose, and Meng Zitao chose a jade, don't look at this jade that looks inconspicuous, in fact, it has an extraordinary origin, and it is Qiu Chuji's work.

Those who have read Jin Yong's novel or the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" believe that they will not be unfamiliar with the name Qiu Chuji. The Qiu Daochang in the novel can be described as chivalrous and courageous, jealous and hateful, and his martial arts are also first-class in the Quanzhen Sect. The beauty of Jin Yong's novel lies in the perfect combination of fiction and reality. Many of the characters in the novel are historically real. For example, the head of the hill we're talking about now. Can you think of it? Historically, the real Qiu Chuji was not only the leader of Taoism, but also the originator of jade carving.

After the death of the Taoist chief, he followed his will and continued to travel around the world, and mainly studied a variety of craftsman's crafts and learned Xiangyu.

After the Yuan Dynasty built the capital, Qiu came to the capital and settled in Baiyunguan. At that time, although the capital was already the national capital, it was not very prosperous, and the craftsmanship of jade was far behind that of Jiangnan. In particular, after years of war, many poor people have lost their means of livelihood and are struggling to survive.

After Qiu Chuji settled in Baiyun Temple, he did not preach the scriptures, but devoted himself to jade making. He won the strength of many families, and the jade parts he made were all outstanding products, and had a unique artistic style. This made the capital's official eunuchs and nobles and wealthy businessmen all rush to buy for a while, and everyone is proud of owning the jade made by Qiu Chuji.

Moreover, he also deliberately selected some young cars from poor families to teach jade craftsmanship. Due to Qiu Chuji's advocacy and cultivation, the jade industry in the capital gradually developed and grew at that time, and Baiyun Temple became a training center for his art. At this point, he has also become the ancestor of Beiyu.

However, for various reasons, Qiu Chuji's jade carving works have not been heard of being handed down, and now people can only peek into a trace of Qiu Chuji's jade carving style and level from the jade carving works of the Yuan Dynasty.
