It is no wonder that it is often described in ancient books that the finest agarwood is a priceless treasure.

Qi Xiang sighed in his heart, and he was also a little hesitant, weighing the gains and losses. 300,000 is too expensive, and it's not that he can't take it out, the problem is that after taking it out, it is time to go bankrupt and drink the northwest wind.

As if seeing his hesitation, the guy added: "Wei Ye also ordered just now, if you really plan to take the agarwood down, I can give you a nine-percent discount......"

Nine percent off is 270,000 yuan, which is a lot cheaper, at least leave him living expenses.

Qi Xiang touched his eyebrows, and suddenly made a decision: "I only brought 100,000 cash here, can I swipe the rest by card?" ”

"Yes." The guy smiled: "There is a credit card machine at the counter downstairs, just swipe it." ”

"Then wrap the stuff up." Qi Xiang said, putting the agarwood back in the box.

"Okay!" The guy hurriedly led the way.

Qi Xiang followed out of the reception room, and when he walked outside, he saw a row of black-clothed people standing on both sides of the door of a nearby VIP room. These people are burly, uniformed, and supposed to be bodyguards.

Qi Xiang was also a little curious, his eyes swept over, and then he was surprised to find that among the rows of bodyguards, there seemed to be a familiar face.

He looked at it twice, and the bodyguard also noticed his gaze, and after looking back, he avoided it unnaturally, as if he was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look directly at him.

Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he immediately remembered. That bodyguard is clearly one of Wang Dong's younger brothers, and when he was on the rooftop, he also helped carry things, why is he here?

Qi Xiang's mind was full of thoughts, and his eyes naturally looked away, and then he followed behind the guy as if nothing happened, and went down the stairs briskly. Walking down the storefront, he smiled casually: "There is such a big pomp upstairs, what is the origin of the guests?" ”

The guy twisted his head and chuckled, "I don't know, but it should be a big high roller." As soon as we entered, let us put out the most expensive treasures in the store and let him pick ......"

"Tsk!" Qi Xiang looked admiring: "Listening to the tone, is it a big sheep?" A windfall fell from the sky, and Wei Ye was about to make it. ”

"It's everyone's care......"

The guy also said a few well-behaved words, and then took Qi Xiang to the counter to settle the bill.

The 100,000 cash given by Jiang Million was given away before it was hot. In addition, when he swiped the card again, he saw the balance SMS reminder from the bank, and Qi Xiang's heart was like a knife.

Anyway, the agarwood incense is in hand, Qi Xiang settled his mind and said goodbye: "Then I'll go first, and you can help me talk to Wei Ye when I go back, and sue ...... guilt."

"Well said, well said." The guy was enthusiastic: "Thank you for your patronage, welcome back." ”

"You have to have money to come." Qi Xiang sighed lightly in his heart and walked out of the store quickly.

Walking away, Qi Xiang's footsteps stopped, and then he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, the phone was connected, and Jiang Wan's hearty laughter came: "Brother Qi? ”

"It's my ......" Qi Xiang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Boss Jiang, I just saw a person in the Boguya toy shop in the Confucius Temple, he seems to be Wang Dong's younger brother, and we have met on the rooftop before." But now, he has actually transformed into a bodyguard for a big man, don't you think it's strange? ”

"Oh?"

Jiang Million was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "It's indeed a little strange...... But that's someone else's business, brother, so don't worry about it...... By the way, are you free tomorrow? Come over to me when you have time, and I'll treat you to dinner......"

“…… Well, see you tomorrow! ”

Jiang Million hung up the phone quickly, so that Qi Xiang didn't have a chance to inquire about the situation of Na Gu Ding.

"Aren't the results out?"

Qi Xiang thought about it and went back directly. Vaguely, he also understood Jiang Million's implication, maybe that person was very big, and Jiang Million was worried that he would get into trouble, so he would have such a warning.

However, this is also in line with Qi Xiang's intention, if it weren't for Jiang Wanwan's constant care for him, he probably wouldn't have made this call......

After returning home, Qi Xiang also put this matter behind him and began to sort out bags of spices.

According to the records of the incense book in the basement, he weighed different amounts of spices, then put them on the cutting board, quickly cut through the mess, chopped the various spices, and then pounded them into powder.

Agarwood, worth 270,000 yuan, is also this step.

When Qi Xiang was pounding agarwood with a pestle, his heart seemed to be dripping blood, and his arm was a little weak and trembling.

Finally, all kinds of spices were pestled into powder, and these spice powders were mixed together, mixed with water, placed in a pot, and boiled over high heat.

While boiling, stirring causes the slurry powder to boil, and gradually forms a white paste condition.

At this moment, the whole kitchen is filled with a strong aroma.

The air is like a dense atmosphere, filling the whole space, fragrant. It's just that this aroma is too strong, too much, very choking, and not very pleasant.

Qi Xiang held his breath, and after the incense powder became a paste, he hurriedly turned off the fire, first covered the pot, and then covered the top of the pot lid with a thick towel, and then ran out quickly.

Next, wait for the balm to cool down naturally, which takes a long time.

"I don't know if I can succeed, if I can't succeed, then the loss will be great."

Qi Xiang was also a little nervous, he didn't expect that the simplest entry-level incense recipe in the incense recipe would actually cost him years of savings. If the incense making fails, he will definitely want to cry without tears.

"Sanqing Dao Ancestor, Jade Emperor, bless, bless ......" Qi Xiang prayed, immediately ran back to the room, picked up the teapot and poured it. He was busy for most of the day, and he was also tired.

Taking a breath, his gaze fell on the walnuts he had retrieved from the stall.

At this moment, this pair of walnuts is still like that, seemingly inconspicuous, but a layer of clear and agile brilliance flickers on the edge of the walnut, vague and ethereal.

Qi Xiang put down the teapot, and there was a little more scrutiny in his eyes.

He knows very well that there must be a demon when things go wrong. There must be a reason for the wind.

Walnuts are so abnormal, there must be some mystery hidden.

With this thought, Qi Xiang picked up one of the walnuts and looked at it, with his understanding of walnuts, he felt that this pair of walnuts should be the lion's head among the four famous cores, the dwarf stake lion's head.

Walnut, formerly known as walnut, is also known as Qiang peach, long live or longevity fruit.

According to historical records, this is something that Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions when he sent an envoy to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty. At the time of the Wuhu Rebellion, Shi Le, the general of the Jin Kingdom, occupied the Central Plains and established Later Zhao. Because of its taboo Hu characters, the walnut was renamed walnut, which has continued to this day.

Some people have found out that the trend of playing with walnuts should have originated in the Han and Sui dynasties, was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the long history of more than 2,000 years, it has been passed down and formed a unique Chinese walnut culture in the world.

Throughout the ages, from emperors and generals, talented and beautiful women, to officials and eunuchs, and ordinary people, they are all proud of having a pair of exquisite, bright walnuts.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the wind of walnut appreciation in the palace was even worse. A pair of good walnuts in his hand became a symbol of identity, worth and taste at that time. At that time, it was rumored in the capital that Baylor had three treasures in his hands: a wrench, a walnut, and a caged bird.

A pair of ordinary walnuts have reached the point of being comparable to a treasure, which is enough to amaze people.

In modern society, the atmosphere of appreciating walnuts has not diminished in the past. Based on years of experience, some players refer to the four best quality walnuts, lion's head, tiger head, official hat, and chicken heart, as the four famous cores.

The lion's head ranks the first of the four famous cores, the shape is full and close to the round ball type, the pattern is beautiful, many curly flowers, winding flowers, twisting flowers, there are holes and eyes, the shape is like a lion's head, so it is named.

Qi Xiang looked at the walnut in his hand, although it was said that the walnut was full of cracks, but he could also distinguish the texture in it, the tendons were like flowers, rolled and winded, it should be a lion's head.

Lion head, even if Qi Xiang doesn't know much about the price of walnuts, he has heard a little bit about it and knows some basic information.

At least he had heard that a pair of lion's head walnuts with thick pulp, red and bright, and perfect condition could be fried to more than 100,000 yuan, and there was no market.

Speaking of which, this is also the charm of cultural play.

You must know that ordinary bodhi seeds, hand-twisted gourds, and pecans are not such rare plants. But after being played with, it immediately exudes infinite charm, and its value has increased a hundredfold.

However, Qi Xiang knows better that the value of walnuts is the precipitation and accumulation of time. A pair of ordinary walnuts, after seven or eight years of grinding, will form a layer of moist pulp.

With the pulp of walnuts, it is as beautiful as amber, exquisitely clear, the sound of collision is like the sound of bones and teeth, and the color is as fine as jade......

This kind of thing is what old players call stuff.

However, whatever it is, once it becomes profitable, it starts to go sour.

The same is true of walnuts, after being sought after by the world, some people are eager for quick success and begin to use their brains. Through some means, processing, coloring, polishing, and oiling, the walnuts become very delicate and beautiful.

Ordinary people don't know how to identify, and when they see such a beautiful walnut, they will inevitably be tempted to buy it back.

Needless to say, the result must have been fooled.

And after a long time, the delicate and beautiful walnuts will dry and crack, which is unsightly.

Qi Xiang was very suspicious that the walnuts in his hands now were the product of quick success. But he couldn't figure out what was going on with the aura on the surface of the tattered walnuts?

He found a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

For example, walnuts are quite large, at least five centimeters in diameter. One is relatively easy to hold in the hand, if it is a pair of walnuts, the palm must be full, and it is difficult to coil up.

After studying for a while, Qi Xiang lowered his nose and sniffed, feeling that there seemed to be something strange about walnuts.

"No, it doesn't seem right......"

Qi Xiang pondered again, his fingers unconsciously stirred the walnuts, and suddenly a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned: "If it is a cracked walnut, the weight cannot be so heavy." ”
