"This is an agarwood tree about ten years old, this is the incense mouth that has just opened, and it will almost be able to produce incense after seven or eight years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"How much will this cost if it sells for it?"

Old Han was stunned for a moment, and said puzzled: "Sell? We all plant trees to pick agarwood, and few people sell them directly. Do you want to raise your own? ”

"No, leaving Hainan, where do I go to raise agarwood trees? The environment is not suitable, just ask. ”

"This one is at least more than 20,000, and now the wild agarwood tree is protected by the government, and wild agarwood is scarce. Basically, it was all artificial, and we started to introduce seedlings and propagate them ourselves. Now that the technology is mature, it is basically self-sufficient. ”

He took the two of them to continue walking towards the back mountain, and the entire hill was covered by him, and seedlings were planted in the greenhouse. Once mature, transplant into the wild. After ten years of natural growth, you can artificially cut the incense.

"This is the incense cut two years ago, and now the wound has begun to form incense, but the grade is still low, the oiliness is not good, and it will take at least another seven or eight years to produce incense."

A piece of agarwood with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was cut with a large wound near the root, and the surrounding area was protected with plastic, allowing the tree to naturally secrete oil and condense into spices little by little. This is the process of incense formation in the most natural environment of agarwood, which has to continue for more than seven or eight years, so the time cost is very high.

"Then you will take it down and sell it when the time comes?" Wu Tianyuan lowered his head and smelled the incense, the taste was very light, and the oiliness was not enough.

Lao Han smiled mysteriously and said, "No, I'll sell incense directly under the tree!" ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Tianyuan asked a little puzzled.

"Now fake incense is rampant on the market, and Hainan agarwood is the top grade since ancient times, and the price is the most expensive in Nha Trang, Vietnam. Therefore, there are black-hearted merchants who are shoddy, and use cheap production areas to pass off Hainan agarwood to make profits. ”

Lao Han is a little disgusted, in recent years, agarwood has been popular, the price has risen, and there are unscrupulous merchants who have begun to sell fakes, using Xingzhou spices as Hainan agarwood to sell, the price difference is several times, and the quality is not good. The person who really makes agarwood carries the black pot, and his reputation is getting worse and worse.

"So you invented selling incense directly under the tree? Let people watch the agarwood go down the tree with their own eyes? Wu Tianyuan suddenly realized and admired a little.

"There is no way, otherwise, how can guests rest assured that they will spend a lot of money to collect incense? Hey, what a helpless move! ”

Lao Han took the two of them around again, he has only planted agarwood for seven or eight years, and the longest in the garden is only about ten years of agarwood. Now it is mainly maintained by the sale of agarwood seedlings, and the agarwood tree will have to wait for a few years, which is why the local people are reluctant to plant agarwood, the cycle is too long, and the return on investment is slow, so Lao Han has been promoting the benefits of agarwood.

"The government is also very supportive of our agarwood growers, both in terms of capital and technology, and now there are more than a dozen households in the village following me, and more and more people are engaged in the agarwood industry. In a few years, I'll be the president of a green bank. ”

Lao Han is very pleased that agarwood is his life's work, not only bringing wealth, but also a kind of fate. People must always do something meaningful to future generations in their lives, otherwise they will come to the world in vain.

Wu Tianyuan was in awe, and respected Lao Han, a simple but persevering businessman, saying that the cultural inheritance is a bit big, but the protection of local characteristics is well deserved. Hainan is full of rare treasures, agarwood, sea yellow, clams, coral, as well as the newly popular stars and moons and coconut shells.

Sticking to one thing for decades, no matter what the outcome, is admirable. He decided to cooperate with Lao Han and vigorously supported him to plant agarwood.

"Old Han, you have been making agarwood for more than ten years, you should have a lot of excellent products in your hands, right? Can you open our eyes? ”

On the way back, Liu Meizi couldn't help but ask, the little girl wants to know what the so-called best agarwood on the market looks like?

"Haha, it's not me bragging, in the local area, my old Han said second, no one dares to say first!" Speaking of this topic, he was very proud.

"I have been collecting incense everywhere for more than ten years, and I also have some favorite things in my hands, and I will take you to see it when I get home in a while."

A few people returned to Lao Han's four-story building, he took the two of them up to the fourth floor, opened the heavy safety door, and a strong fragrance came to his face.

"It's so fragrant!" As soon as Liu Meizi entered the door, she couldn't help but exclaim.

The room of more than 60 square meters is full of large and small agarwood, the fragrance is fragrant, and the heart is relaxed. Ryumiko is attracted by a similar root sculpture at the door. In front of me is seventy or eighty centimeters high, all of which are whitebark roots, and have a peculiar shape.

"This is also agarwood?"

Old Han approached proudly, pointed to the inside of the wood and said, "Take a closer look, what's in the wood?" ”

The two of them walked in curiously, and a faint fragrance hit, and they looked at the wood that had been hollowed out by insects and ants, and it was densely packed with holes, which was very wonderful.

"This is insect eye incense, in the early years I harvested incense from the mountains, and met this agarwood root, which has a history of almost 100 years at least. It's a pity that it was cut down, leaving only the roots. But being transformed into a rare carving by insects is wonderful, right? ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at it carefully for a while, and sighed that nature is wonderful, more than one kind of insect parasitizes it, coexists peacefully, and transforms the home together.

"Can this also produce agarwood?" Wu Tianyuan asked.

"Very little, after all, the tree is dead, and it can only be secreted by the residual oil, but with the participation of insects, this insect eye smell is even more peculiar. Their secretions are mixed with agarwood, which produces a richer flavor and is also a rare thing. Old Han leaned in and sniffed deeply, and said with a look of intoxication.

"You know Qi Nan, right? The best in agarwood, it is divided into three kinds: one is raw knots, varieties of cinnamon, chicken tongue, oil knot line, tree heart oil knot and so on; the second is insect leakage, including insect leakage oil, insect leakage cream; The third is ripe and fragrant, with many varieties, such as golden knots, sugar knots, honey knots, and so on. ”

Lao Han shared many years of experience, and it was the first time Wu Tianyuan heard that Qi Nan still had so many qualities, and he was engrossed in understanding it. These are not found in books, they are all gained from experience.

"What do you mean this kind of weevil?"

"It's almost, but it's not comparable to Qi Nan Worm Leak. The fragrance conditions are very harsh, not only the age of the tree should be long, the environment is suitable, but also the cooperation of insects. Different species of insects produce different secretions, and the taste is very different, Vietnam has many tropical rainforests and a humid climate, which is the most suitable for producing insect drains. Once it appears, it is basically sky-high. ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded and continued to ask, "Then how can you tell if it's Qi Nan?" ”

"It's all about experience, and it's easy to see as much as you want. However, there are generally a few standards, generally agarwood is oily from the outside to the inside, and Qi Nan is from the inside to the outside, which is why it has a stronger fragrance. The taste of raw knot sinking water Qi Nan is sweet and cool; Ripe molasses is generally golden yellow, and naturally shedding is purple mixed with gold, and the taste is spicy. There is also Qi Nan to start with warmth, with some irregular horizontal lines and S lines on it. ”

Lao Han carefully took out a small piece of Qi Nan, and let Wu Tianyuan realize it as he spoke, "Qi Nan has a very soft texture, so in addition to raw incense, no one will go to the rider's strings or carvings, which are too waste and easy to wear, and they are all natural art ornaments made of whole materials." ”

"Brother Han, how much can this worm-eyed root carving be sold for?" Ryumiko answered.

"This? Last year, there was a Fujian man who offered 800,000 yuan to sell, and I was not willing to give up, and estimated that 1 million would be no problem. ”

Wu Tianyuan agreed, the root carving is huge, the shape is domineering, and there is the fragrance of agarwood, it definitely has face in the living room, and one million is not expensive.

"The most accurate is to use incense to identify the species of Qinan, the first fragrance of raw knots is a clear fragrance, a little sweet in the cool, and some have the taste of baked cakes; Honey knot is a wheat flavor of milk; The flavor of insect leakage is the most complex, some are roasted sweet potato flavors, and there are also red date syrup flavors, and what coconut milk flavors are, each of which is different. ”

Wu Tianyuan is really eye-opening, a small piece of agarwood is so profound, it seems to open a new field. As a master of incense, Liu Meizi couldn't let go of a good opportunity, kept picking up all kinds of agarwood, distinguishing it carefully, and trying to remember some flavors as much as possible.

"It's not easy for you to come once, let's also fall in love, let you see my most proud baby today, Lightning Strike Qi Nan!"

Lao Han is happy, Wu Tianyuan is young, but he has good taste, and he is also modest and very popular. It's rare to come from afar, and in the future, he will be his own big financier, so he will take out the secret treasure.

"Lightning Strike Qi Nan?" Wu Tianyuan and Liu Meizi glanced at each other and hurriedly followed him to the safe.

Lao Han opened the safe, cherished a piece of black agarwood seven or eight centimeters long and two or three centimeters wide, carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and said proudly: "This is my most proud baby, full of oil and water Qi Nanxiang!" ”

Wu Tianyuan and Liu Meizi took a closer look, and first a familiar fragrance came, which was somewhat similar to the taste in their hands. However, the oiliness is still poor, but the surface jade is a thin layer, or a wooden structure, a little disappointed.

"How?" Lao Han looked disappointed at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You still don't know the goods!" Don't look at this little guy as inconspicuous, it's definitely the best oily Qi Nan I've ever seen, and there's a story to tell. ”

"Once I went to the mountains to collect incense, came back just when it was raining heavily, when I was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, I accidentally found an old agarwood, half of it was scorched by lightning, and the ghost sent me to find this small piece of Qi Nan incense in the center of the tree. Isn't it special that you smell it carefully? ”

Wu Tianyuan took it, sniffed it carefully for a while, nodded and said, "It's different from others, it has a stronger flavor than others." ”

"That's it! Mainly after lightning strikes, it is difficult for trees to heal themselves, so they secrete more oiliness than ordinary wounds, and the fragrance is denser and the taste is more unique. ”

"How much does this piece cost?"

Lao Han shook his head, carefully put Qi Nan back in the safe, and said firmly: "Don't sell it!" How much money is not sold! A lifetime of playing incense, in the end always to leave a memorial to future generations, it is estimated that I will not get a better incense than this in my life, the money is not finished, and this incense is not sold! ”

Seeing Lao Han's strength, Wu Tianyuan decided: "I will inject 100 million yuan first, you are responsible for recruiting troops and buying horses, and driving the surrounding villagers to plant agarwood together, don't worry about sales, as long as the incense is good, no matter how expensive it is, it is not a problem!" ”
