A happy lunch of guests and hosts passed quickly, and Liu Zhao picked a few mint leaves from the courtyard and used a large blue and white pot to brew a pot of mint water.

On a midsummer afternoon, drinking a glass of cool mint water, An Yang felt that the heat brought by summer would soon disappear.

Liu Zhao raised his head, sniffed in the air, frowned, and said, "There is also the smell of food." With that, he took out a rectangular wooden box from under the coffee table.

Take out a black-brown incense stick from it, light it and insert it into a small incense burner.

After a while, as the light smoke rises, the air is filled with the elegant fragrance of cool sweet flowers and fruits.

An Yang squinted slightly, savoring the fragrance from the light smoke. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked incredulously, "What is this......?" Qi Nan agarwood? ”

"Hehe, you know a lot! Not bad, authentic Hainan Qinan. Liu Zhao smelled the smell of the room with satisfaction, and the fragrant agarwood dispelled the other smells in the house.

"This quality of incense rarely appears on the market, where did you buy it from?" Because he smelled a little fire in this incense, he concluded that this was the incense that had just been made, not an old product that had been handed down from generation to generation.

"This is what I was idle and having fun with the other day." Liu Zhao grinned embarrassedly, she couldn't say that this incense was made by her family's big flowers, right?

"Well, the cool and sweet taste is drilled and long, and it is really fragrant! I don't know ...... raw material? "The fanaticism for agarwood made An Yang get to the bottom of it.

"It was left by my old man, and I made it into a wooden hairpin. This incense is made by grinding the leftover minced pieces. Liu Zhao sighed in her heart, if she didn't have Dahua's skillful hands, she would definitely throw away those agarwood powders.

An Yang looked at the inconspicuous oil-black wooden hairpin on Liu Zhao's head, shook his head and said, "You are really wasteful, do you know that this quality of Qi Nan is tens of thousands of dollars per gram!" ”

An Yang looked at Liu Zhao, whose expression was still calm, and sighed in his heart. This girl seems to be lonely and helpless, but she has amazing wealth; looks weak and slender, but proud and strong. This huge contrast makes her even more different.

"Agarwood is such an amazing species, I really don't know how it is formed!" Liu Zhao touched the valuable hairpin on his head and exclaimed.

"You're right, I've studied all kinds of precious tree species." "This is a tropical tree species of the Ruixiang family, which is injured by insect bites or lightning strikes, and the oil secreted by the trees themselves wraps the injured parts. When the trees wither and die, they can be aged for thousands of years or buried in the soil or immersed in water to form agarwood. ”

An Yang picked up the blue and white teacup, took a sip of cool mint water, and continued: "The formed agarwood is subdivided into several grades according to the amount of oil contained in it and the place of origin. The Hainan Qinan you have here belongs to the top agarwood that has disappeared for a long time. ”

An Yang looked at the slender wooden hairpin that had been cut again, and said regretfully, "Hey! Ms. Liu Zhao, do you know that what you are carrying on your head is equivalent to a single-family villa in the city center! ”

"The agarwood tree must be beautiful, right?" Liu Zhao didn't feel much of An Yang's pity, but became interested in the trees that could give birth to agarwood.

"At the back of this villa, I developed a tropical landscape garden with this agarwood tree seedlings in it." An Yang had long been accustomed to Liu Zhao's indifference to wealth, and introduced with a smile.

"If you like, I'll ask the workers to transplant a few plants for you. However, the agarwood tree is just an ordinary tree, so don't get your hopes up! ”

"Good, good! Thank you! Liu Zhao nodded like pounding garlic, because of An Yang's introduction, she had an inexplicable affection for the agarwood tree.

"Alright, it's not too early, it's time for me to go!" An Yang looked at his watch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He got up nostalgically, knowing that he had to take his leave.

"Don't forget, the autumn auction of Haicheng Auction House is in late October. If you're interested, check it out. Open the low wooden door of the courtyard, An Yang admonished.

"Okay, I'll call you then!" Liu Zhao sent An Yang out of the villa and waved goodbye: "Be careful when you drive!" ”

Until An Yang's Wrangler drove out of the villa area, Liu Zhao greeted Dahua: "Dahua Dahua, you clean up the house, I want to sleep!" ”

After speaking, Liu Zhao disappeared in place. In the living room, only the blue dress that was still on her just now lay quietly on the ground.

"Meow ......!" Dahua whispered dissatisfiedly at the place where Liu Zhao disappeared. Hey, Liu Zhao ran into the waterhole again! Lately she has been sleeping a lot under the water.

Dahua doesn't understand why he is always like a fish and can't leave the water.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by the security guards of the villa, the workers of the resort not far from here carried seven or eight saplings and knocked on Liu Zhao's door.

Liu Zhao declined the workers' offer to plant saplings for her. Dahua took advantage of Liu Zhao's efforts to send the workers and masters, and among those saplings, he sniffed east and west.

By the time Liu Zhao returned to the courtyard, Dahua had already picked out a few of the saplings.

When Dahua Meow was exhausted, Liu Zhao finally figured out what Dahua meant: the saplings it picked out were to be planted in the Roselle space! Because, there are two agarwood trees that An Yang said, and three are actually sandalwood trees in Mysore, India!

"Old Shantan! Hehe! Liu Zhao followed Dahua's suggestion and moved the five saplings to the Roselle space along with Dahua.

"Big flower, in the future, you will contract this planting work!" Liu Zhao instructed Dahua awkwardly.

She thought in her heart that according to the speed of time passage in space, there would be agarwood and a thousand years of sandalwood that could be used for incense in a year and a half!

Imagining that in the future, the house will often exude the smell of the best agarwood and sandalwood, and her mood is particularly comfortable!

"The beautiful scenery of a good day is a day, and the courtyard ...... be happy"

Humming a Kunqu opera that was obviously out of tune, she walked under the largest snow lotus in the sea of flowers, and saw that Xiaoqing was still asleep like a corpse.

Liu Zhao checked Xiaoqing's body again, and after confirming that the little green stripe was basically nothing serious, he ran to the edge of the sea of flowers to see the big flowers planting trees.

Dahua is really a good hand at living at home! It planted the five small trees in a staggered place not far from the sea of flowers, which looked pleasing to the eye.

As soon as the young trees are planted, they begin to grow taller and bud at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Liu Zhao instigated the big flower to scratch vigorously on the agarwood tree a few times.

After a while, a thin layer of dark yellow grease appeared on the surface of the trunk, enveloping the injured area little by little.

"Big flower, remember in the future, come and scratch this tree twice when you have time, so that we can have a lot of agarwood!" Liu Zhao looked at the oil that kept secreting with satisfaction, and commanded the coolie flower.
