PS: It's been the third watch, is there still a monthly pass? Ask for support.

"You smell it, too, and it's certainly not the smell of flowers."

At the same time, Wang Guan chuckled and explained: "Even if there is a residual smell of flowers in the house, don't forget that the doors and windows of the house are open, and the wind blows. The floral fragrance is very light, and no amount of incense will be blown away by the wind, and there will definitely be no residual breath. ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the situation of the house and found that there was a bamboo forest next to the house, and the sound of squeezing could be heard from time to time, so they knew how frequent the wind was. Even if you sit in the house, you can feel the cool breeze, so everyone can feel comfortable.

Seeing this situation, everyone also agreed with Wang Guan's judgment. In this way, the question arises, what is the smell if not the fragrance of flowers?

However, don't underestimate anyone, without waiting for Wang Guan to explain, An Shengxian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was shocked: "Agarwood, this is the smell of agarwood." ”

"That's right, it's agarwood."

In the audience, it was not only An Shengxian who had used agarwood alone, but after someone sniffed the breath, he immediately echoed it and agreed with An Shengxian's judgment.

"The Buddha shrine is an agarwood product ......"

Someone revealed the answer, and others reacted. I didn't think it was strange when I realized it.

After all, in Buddhism, agarwood is one of the main spices for bathing the Buddha. Prayer beads carved from agarwood and Buddha statues are precious ritual objects. The incense made of agarwood is not only used to worship the Buddha, but also is the best incense for meditation. Then the use of agarwood to make Buddhist shrines is not uncommon.

Of course, the most important thing is that agarwood is indeed very precious. In the case of the same amount, the value of agarwood is no longer higher than gold, but higher than gold.

Don't look at agarwood is a wood product, but the mahogany on the market is sold in tons, and pineapple wood is sold in catties. And agarwood is sold in grams. It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a piece of wood can be sold by the gram, and the price is 100 times that of gold, and even has no price.

"That's not right!"

At the right time, some people were puzzled: "Doesn't it mean that agarwood generally has no smell, and it needs to be lit to be able to smell the aroma?" Those fragrant agarwoods are soaked by black-hearted merchants with essences......"

"You're right and you're not right."

Wang Guan chuckled: "The general agarwood is indeed not fragrant, but there are exceptions, the more high-end and high-quality agarwood." The clearer its aroma will be. This aroma is very elegant, which is clearly different from the pungent aroma of soaking in essence. ”

"That's right." An Shengxian nodded and said: "I have seen a kind of agarwood that costs 30,000 yuan per gram, which can also exude a cool and sweet smell when it is not burned, and the breath is very sweet and rich." ”

"Thirty thousand per gram?" One person was dumbfounded: "Isn't that a hundred times more expensive than gold?" ”

"What Boss An said should be Qi Nan agarwood." Wang Guan explained: "If among the many gemstones, the most dazzling is the diamond, then Qi Nanxiang belongs to the diamond in agarwood. ”

"Agarwood is an extremely rare and precious spice in nature, and it takes a long time to form, usually decades or even hundreds of years."

Wang Guan talked eloquently: "And Qi Nan incense is a precious variety formed in the high-grade agarwood. The oil contained in it is richer than ordinary agarwood, the texture is softer, viscous and tough, and the sharded pieces can even be formed into incense beads. At the time of the Song Dynasty. Qi Nanxiang is already a piece of gold, and now it is only 30,000 per gram, which is not much higher. ”

"Is that Buddha shrine Qi Nan agarwood?" Someone asked curiously.

"It's hard to say." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "It's hard to judge if you don't get started." ”

Meanwhile. Everyone looked at Liu Huaen, and under his translation, Wu Gang directly shook his head and said no. But it made many people sigh in disappointment, after all, they also want to see what a piece of gold treasure looks like.

Wu Gang laughed again and suddenly beckoned.

"He asked everyone not to be disappointed, Qi Nanxiang is very precious, he can't buy it, but he also has a collection of good agarwood of excellent quality, and invites everyone to visit." Liu Huaen smiled and took the lead in responding.

Others were also interested, so they naturally followed.

After a while, everyone came to another house, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was very spacious, and there were many things already placed, as if it were a warehouse. Of course, it can also be called a collection room.

The things here are Wu Gang's collection, many of which are Burmese objects, some of which are exquisite works of art, and some of which are tattered and very inconspicuous. Anyway, it's a mixture of fish and dragons.

As for the precious agarwood, Wu Gang was placed in a cabinet alone. At this time, he opened the cabinet, and everyone immediately saw that there were seven or eight pieces of "rotten wood" on the top shelf. The reason why it is rotten is mainly because the material of these woods is loose, light and fluttery to pick up, and there is no weight.

However, it is precisely these characteristics that indicate that these woods are agarwood.

You must know that although it is always said that agarwood agarwood, in fact, agarwood is not a kind of wood, but a special kind of incense tree "knotted", mixed with oil (resin) components and wood components of solid condensation.

Generally speaking, the greater the density of agarwood, the more resin is condensed and the better its quality. Then the grade of agarwood is distinguished according to the degree of immersion in the water. When you enter the water, you will sink, which is the best incense of agarwood; half-floating and half-sinking, that is, stacked incense; Gently floating on the surface of the water, it is yellow ripe incense.

Nowadays, people are very anxious for quick success, and they can't wait for the agarwood to condense into agarwood incense, so they collect it in a hurry, the quality is naturally not very good, and the price will definitely not be very high.

Obviously, the precious agarwood that Wu Gang said definitely does not refer to these. In addition, in the cabinet, that is, at the bottom, there are two or three relatively dense woods, which are high-end agarwood.

At this time, Wu Gang took out all these things and distributed them to Wang Guan and others to enjoy, looking at their approving expressions, Wu Gang also felt very happy, grinning heartily.

Who said that you can't communicate if you don't understand the language, in fact, facial expressions are the best channel for communication. Joy, anger and sorrow are the natural instinct of human beings, and the direct expression of this emotion can be regardless of country or region. Besides, Liu Huaen, the translator, is also very conscientious, conveying everyone's praise to Wu Gang, which also makes his smile brighter.

"That's right......"

At the same time, Liu Huaen translated: "He said that he was very happy that you could come to his house as a guest, so he decided to give you a gift, everyone has a share." ”

"Really?" Many people were pleasantly surprised, and their eyes began to circle around the agarwood and the exquisite artworks in the warehouse.

However, it seems that Wu Gang is not wronged, and after making this decision, he beckoned everyone to follow him and walked to another larger warehouse next to the warehouse.

"Ahh

After coming to this warehouse, people who were a little disappointed suddenly felt even more surprised.

Because there are stones in the warehouse, which are clearly the raw stone wool of jadeite. Then without waiting for them to be happy for a few seconds, Liu Huaen's words extinguished most of their enthusiasm.

"Wu Gang said, you can pick any stone under fifty catties here." Liu Huaen smiled and said: "As long as you pick it, it will be given to you." ”

"Alas......" Many people sighed slightly in their hearts, naturally a little disappointed, knowing that they had just aimed at those big stones that were at least three or five hundred catties.

"So much wool."

At the same time, Wang Guan was curious: "Is Wu Gang also a jade merchant?" ”

"Yes."

Liu Huaen nodded and said: "It is also one of the more powerful jade suppliers in this city, and I will also participate in the public market tomorrow." These stones in front of you should also be displayed. ”

"What!"

When many people heard this, they didn't care about any disappointment, and they gathered their minds and looked at them carefully. And the focus of the measurement is not the small stones under fifty catties, but the large stones of hundreds of catties.

After all, these stones are going to be displayed, but they saw the wool in advance, so they naturally have an advantage over other peers, and they don't know that it is Tianzi No. 1 who is a big fool who seizes the opportunity.

However, Wang Guan hesitated a little: "Didn't you say that the jade merchant himself doesn't gamble on stones, how can he ......?"

Of course, it is not an absolute iron law that those who sell stones do not gamble on stones. However, ordinary jade merchants really rarely participate in gambling stones, because they are in this business and know better how risky gambling stones are.

I don't know how many jade merchants, because they have no self-control, they can't resist the temptation to cut all the goods, and in the end they often lose their money. There are many lessons from the past, and jade merchants at home and abroad must take warning.

"He's begging for money."

Understanding Wang Guan's confusion, Liu Huaen chuckled and explained: "He usually doesn't gamble on stones, but he will participate in the public market tomorrow, so he deliberately selected a piece of wool that is very likely to produce jadeite to untie, just to please a good fortune." And they didn't solve it themselves, but they wanted to send it to me, because they were afraid that the stone would collapse and be contaminated with bad luck......"

"Oh."

Wang Guan suddenly realized, and only then did he understand why Wu Gang was so grand. Of course, he was also suspicious that Wu Gang now asked everyone to watch this batch of wool in advance, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as hospitality.

Anyway, Wang Guan can be sure that the public market will start tomorrow, and Wu Gang's batch of wool will definitely be in demand. At least it was remembered by Jia Qin and others, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. The stones sent out today are estimated to be earned back tomorrow.

However, even if they understand Wu Gang's intentions, everyone will be willing to be fooled. Since you come to participate in the public market, the money will definitely be spent, and it will be no problem for anyone to earn it, and it will also be good for yourself, so everyone will be happy.

At this time, Liu Huaen kindly reminded: "Little brother, aren't you going to take a look?" ”

"Well, let's go." Wang Guan nodded lightly, and wandered leisurely in the warehouse as if he were taking a leisurely walk.

It is said that the Zen master Qingyuan Xingsi of the Song Dynasty proposed the threefold realm of Zen meditation: at the beginning of Zen meditation, the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water; When Zen is enlightened, the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water; Enlightenment in Zen, looking at the mountains is still the mountains, and looking at the water is still water.

After walking around, Wang Guan felt that he had basically reached the third realm, no matter how he looked at the stone, or the appearance of the stone, he couldn't tell if there was any jade in it...... (To be continued.) )
