Chapter 128: Qi Nan

I saw a piece of wood lying inside, or spices that hadn't been burned yet.

Hu Wei hurriedly took it out, and at first glance, it should be a piece of agarwood. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, agarwood is indeed the best spice for incineration.

"Agarwood?" I don't know when, Luo Lao also came here, saw the piece of wood in Hu Wei's hand that had not been completely burned out, and asked.

The people around were talking, and the luck of this group was really bursting, and they could pick up treasures one by one.

This stimulates those who have not yet received the treasure, and the farmers work harder. Hearing the admiration around them, they knew that those treasures were worth a lot.

"It should be. After the monk finished speaking, he hurried away. It seems that this bald head is a little irritated.

"I'll take a look, old man. Luo Lao said.

In ancient times, there was a saying of "Shen Tan Dragon Musk Deer", in which "Shen" refers to agarwood.

Since ancient times, agarwood has attracted people's attention and love, yearning, it is not only the first of all incense, but also a collection of health care, collection and many other values in one.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that "one or two sinks and one or two gold". Therefore, the price of agarwood is matched with its value, especially in recent years, the price of agarwood has increased a lot, among them, the better quality of Qi Nan is already more expensive than gold, and the price per gram is even about 50,000 yuan.

"If it's Qi Nan, it's precious. Someone commented.

There are also many types of agarwood, and Qi Nan is the most precious of them.

"Didn't you say agarwood, what did you say Qi Nan did, what did you come from?" asked a villager who didn't know much about it.

"Qi Nan is the most valuable one in agarwood. The man next to him explained simply.

"The texture of agarwood is uneven, so its price is not the same, and the price of good agarwood can reach dozens of times the price of poor agarwood. Qi Nan's words, one gram is more than 50,000 yuan. Another added.

When it comes to gold and silver jewelry, diamonds are the first, and Qi Nan is the diamond in spices. The precious Qi Nan is found from the agarwood, which is originally a high-grade incense material, and the highest grade of agarwood is Qi Nan.

When those peasants heard this, they all made a slight move. One gram is tens of thousands, if you find one or two catties, then you still have it?

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" said one in disbelief.

"Exaggerated? no, not at all. A piece of mineral water is the size of a bottle, and it is worth tens of millions. ”

They don't know about agarwood, its formation is very difficult, not all agarwood trees can bear agarwood, due to the lack of resin glands of incense trees with a short number of years, generally only incense trees that are more than a few decades old can form agarwood. And due to a lot of logging in the past, agarwood trees are now very scarce.

"It's not an exaggeration to say that wood is so much more expensive than gold. Someone muttered.

Someone immediately corrected: "Strictly speaking, agarwood is not wood." ”

He explained that unlike sandalwood, agarwood is not a kind of wood, but a solid condensate of a special kind of incense tree "knotted", mixed with oil and wood components, and the wood of this kind of incense tree itself has no special fragrance, and the wood is relatively soft.

"Yes, I saw a piece last time in the Junyou Club, a rare treasure!"

Junyou Club is an internationally famous agarwood products promotion center, Junyou Club collection of giant agarwood, each piece is a rare agarwood for thousands of years, unique spirit wood, can be called a rare treasure!

"Yes, they have an agarwood Buddha statue there, that's a national treasure. ”

He remembered that the Buddha statue was completely sunken wood, formed as a whole, without splicing, and at the same time, according to a variety of different sunken wood materials, the most appropriate shape was carved, which was a very difficult carving method.

Yang Fan listened to their discussion, and to be honest, he had heard of it, but he had never seen it.

Agarwood has seen it, and I found one in Luo Lao's place, and it is a carved product, which is even more precious. Of course, it is not the rarest Qi Nan agarwood.

In the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the royal family all advocated the use of agarwood to make all kinds of scholarly utensils, with fine craftsmanship, the same as the production of rhino horn ivory. Agarwood has high requirements for the skills of the carver, its hardness is greater than that of ordinary wood, especially condensed with oil and wood mixed materials, the texture is uneven, and it is not easy to carve, so a good agarwood carving is extremely precious.

"It's Qi Nan, right?" asked Yang Fan.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, after all, in front of the Ming Mufu, there are few things that can be hidden.

"It's Qi Nan!" Luo Lao nodded.

The people around were shocked, this piece is a little bigger than a thumb, half a chopstick is long, it is worth hundreds of thousands, quite terrifying.

"After so long, this piece of agarwood still exudes bursts of fragrance, which is one of the proofs. Someone immediately gave a reason.

Generally speaking, the fragrance of agarwood will become more and more fragrant over time, while the fragrance of fake agarwood is only temporary, and the fragrance will fade or even disappear after being left for a long time. And the aroma of Qi Nan cannot be replicated. ”

The fragrance of Qi Nan can be smelled without ignition, and the large piece of old Qi Nan is like a rich mine of fragrance, with an inexhaustible feeling of smelling and inexhaustible. If the fragrance becomes a little lighter, put it in a plastic bag for a period of time, and the fragrance will still be strong after taking it out.

In addition, Qi Nan has a strong sense of oil, the new cut is particularly obvious, after the best Qi Nan is cut with a knife, the grease at the section can be pulled out like a silk yam, and if you look closely, there is a shiny grease in the cross-section of the fracture.

Yang Fan remembers that in the agarwood collection rivers and lakes, if you want to be less knifed or not, you must master unique experience.

The highest grade color of agarwood is green, followed by dark green, yellow and black are also more common, but those who are as black as lacquer are treasures. Since agarwood is a condensation of oil and wood components, you can often see clear bamboo silk grease lines and translucent grease with a magnifying glass. The higher the oil content, the better the condition and the more valuable it is to invest.

"Good goods, if you can let people smell it, you can smell the smell of Zen. Yang Fan said. It is recognized that those with sweet and milky fragrance are better, and bitter incense with Zen flavor is also cherished by the world.

He turned his eyes to look at the incense burner, which was not an object from the Song Dynasty, but an imitation of the Song Dynasty from the Ming Dynasty. Still, it's quite precious.

But compared with that piece of Qi Nan agarwood, it is really a little worse. Of course, Yang Fan is talking about the price. This incense burner is at most more than 100,000.

"Brother Hu, the auction house handed over to Yang Fan will definitely help you get a satisfactory price. ”

What is Yang Fan's auction house? Please, you are the largest shareholder, and Yang Fan doesn't even know what to say.

"I'm not familiar with you!" Hu Wei flashed aside in disgust.

He Tan secretly said: It's just that I'm not familiar with it, so I said Yang Fan's auction house! If you don't give me face, you have to give Yang Fan face, right?
