"You just found out he didn't come? He had something to do, so he didn't eat together. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info" Tang Yi responded.

Liao Mo'er said, "He always squeezes you, and you still ask him?" ”

"I'm just afraid that he'll run on me. It's best not to come. Cao Xuanqi ordered a dish and gave the menu to Gao Taiming, "Teacher Gao, you can go ahead." ”

As he was talking, Wen Jia called Tang Yilai.

It turned out that he studied the jade bi for a while, and he couldn't figure it out, so he also came out for a walk. After walking for a while, I thought about going to the antique market to find Tang Yi, and took a taxi, but his brother said that he was going to the antique city, and he ended up in the antique city, not the antique market where Tang Yi and the others came.

If you come, you will be safe, Wen Jia went shopping for a while, and bought something!

"Come over here, then!" Tang Yi responded. hung up the phone, and said to Cao Xuanqi with a smile, "Say Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”

After more than ten minutes, Wen Jia entered the private room. Gao Taiming smiled, "What good things bought, take them out and take a look!" Without Tang Yi to accompany you, don't look at you through people, you still look at it! ”

What Wen Jia took out was a wooden box, and said to Tang Yi with a smile, "It's convenient to load things!" ”

Tang Yi saw that it was a rectangular box, which could hold about two pieces of jade, and he knew that Wen Jia was for the piece of feather wing pattern jade, and at the same time, it was estimated that in the batch of goods in Lao Tang, he still felt that there was a good piece and wanted to collect it, so it happened to be in a box. But in front of the others, neither of them would say much.

"Agarwood?" Gao Taiming glanced at it.

"How? Didn't look at it, did it? Wen Jia said with a smile, "Although I don't understand agarwood, I can examine it, things are natural, and they have not undergone post-chemical processing!" ”

Tang Yi shook his head, "Lao Gao is right, you are not right. The difference between one word and one word is worlds apart. Agarwood is agarwood, agarwood is agarwood, and agarwood is not wood! ”

"Look at it, what am I talking about, without Tang Yi, you will be blind!" Gao Taiming's face was proud.

"Huh?" Wen Jia suddenly pondered for a while, "I said, it's strange that it has to be expensive!" ”

Agarwood and agarwood are indeed completely different in nature. To use an inappropriate analogy, agarwood is equivalent to a cow, and agarwood is equivalent to a bezoar.

What is Agarwood? It is a plant of the family Ruixiang that can secrete balsam, and under the right external conditions, agarwood is formed because of fungal "infection". Therefore, agarwood is fundamentally not a wood, but a mixed spice.

Shen Tan Dragon Musk, the four famous incense, agarwood is in the first place, if it is a fragrant tree of the Ruixiang family, it can be planted and felled, and it will not be so rare and valuable!

Since this Ruixiang plant is a "family", there are many species, hundreds! It grows in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and other places.

However, not all Ruixiang plants can "form fragrance", and there are less than 20 kinds of Ruixiang plants that can completely "form fragrance", and the quality of them is naturally high. Therefore, the quality of agarwood and which kind of Ruixiang plant "incense" belong to is a basis. On this basis, the condition of external causes also affects the quality of agarwood.

These plants of the Ruixiang family, after being damaged by external causes such as lightning splits, wind breaks, insect moths, animal bites, etc., will accelerate the secretion of oil because of self-repair. At the same time, in the process, fungal infections can easily develop. The substance thus formed, after years of mellowing, finally becomes agarwood.

Therefore, the quality of agarwood is also related to the vintage.

From this point of view, the quality of agarwood is probably affected by three main factors: the foundation of incense wood, the external cause, and the year of incense. These three main factors also have specific situations, so the fragrance of agarwood is very different, and the top grade and defective products are naturally different.

For example, the top grade of agarwood, Qi Nan agarwood, can usually be divided into white Qi Nan, yellow Qi Nan, green Qi Nan, purple Qi Nan, black Qi Nan, and the fragrance is different.

The white Qinan produced in Vietnam is recognized as the best in Qinan agarwood. Bai Qinan's fragrance is strong, long-lasting and not easy to disperse, and tactful and changeable, it is said that there are five changes of cool, honey, milk, flower and fruit, whether it is directly smelled or lit incense, it feels very wonderful.

Several other kinds of Qi Nan agarwood also have different fragrances.

For example, when he was in Shanzhou at the time, Tang Yi recognized the "wooden box" related to Huang Daopo containing Pei Cui (unfortunately a piece of B goods) in Xu Yilin's hand was Hei Qinan. Hei Qinan is mostly "hard wire", so it is skillfully crafted and can barely be made into a box. At that time, Tang Yi smelled a medicinal fragrance, and a faint frankincense, which was intriguing.

There are many legends about the origin of Qi Nan agarwood and even the deification. Others say that because part of it is caused by bee bites, this medicinal value is very high.

The legend is difficult to verify, but agarwood is indeed a traditional Chinese medicine. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", the aroma of agarwood can remove evil qi, replenish the five organs, relieve cough and phlegm, warm the stomach and spleen, etc., and have various medicinal effects.

Knowing this, you will fully understand that agarwood, as Tang Yi said, is obviously not wood, but a plant-based spice!

What Wen Jia bought back was a kind of Ruixiangke wood from Vietnam, and a box made of white fragrant wood heartwood. This white fragrant wood has not been artificially processed, and the heartwood also has a balsam ingredient base, with a faint fragrance, and also has an agarwood-like but light texture.

However, it is not agarwood!

"This kind of white fragrant wood bracelet, a dozen yuan a string for wholesale, your box, that is, the cost of dozens of yuan!" Tang Yi told Wen Jia.

"This guy, one agarwood at a time!" Wen Jia said angrily, "I also know that agarwood may not be so cheap, but think about it, it may be the worst agarwood, but I bought the contents of this box, and this box was discounted by two hundred!" In this way, it seems that you are still deceived! ”

"It's hard for you to find fault with him." Tang Yi further explained, "For a long time, everyone has been accustomed to calling incense trees that can produce incense also known as agarwood. Similar to when we simply say red sandalwood, it generally refers to Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, but there are many types of red sandalwood, and even fewer people call it sandalwood red sandalwood. ”

"It's not the same thing! You're talking about wood, but agarwood is different! Wen Jia said, "But later, you will see if the contents of the box are worth it, if they are worth it, forget it!" ”

Tang Yi smiled, "I'm just making an analogy, of course it's different." However, agarwood and agarwood sometimes really can't be separated too strictly! ”

"Oh?" Wen Jia's mind spun extremely fast, so he drew inferences from his hands, "You mean, the situation of half incense and half wood?" ”

"Yes, now on the market, a considerable number of purported agarwood is not pure agarwood, but half-fragrant and half-wood."
