Qi Xiang understands very well that this is the demeanor of picking up the leak. Whether it is a big leak or a small leak, as long as it is a leak, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is more intoxicating than fine wine, sweeter than candy, and it makes people want to stop, and the aftertaste is endless......

It is also necessary to admit that with the rise of the national collection, at least more than 90 percent of the people who play collecting now are rushing to pick up leaks and get rich overnight.

But you Wei Ye, although you can't say that you regard money as a floating cloud, your own professionalism has also made him get out of a relatively low-level stage and tend to be more aesthetic.

In other words, the leak that Wei Ye picked up may not be very valuable, but it must be very valuable.

Qi Xiang understood this, so he was naturally very interested: "Master Wei, what kind of stuff have you found, can you open my eyes?" ”

"No problem." Wei Ye was also refreshed and handed over the skewers directly.

Qi Xiang stretched out his palm, and waited for Wei Ye to put the skewers away, and then he grasped and looked at it steadily.

At first glance, he was a little surprised, and saw that this bracelet consisted of fifteen beads. Each bead, about the size of a thumb, is very rounded, and the surface is mottled and twisted.

But beads like this are clearly artificial fake jade beads.

Qi Xiang looked at it again, carefully identified it, and still came to the same conclusion. Such fake jade beads, which are pressed and synthesized on an industrial production line, cost a few yuan at most.

Don't look at the bracelet is now shiny, as long as you wear it for a long time, it will become dull and dull, or even cracked and broken.

Qi Xiang didn't believe it, with Wei Ye's eyesight, he would be planted on this string of beads with a fake eye.

At this moment, Wei Ye smiled and asked, "How is it, the thing is good, right?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Xiang hesitated a little, and said: "Master Wei, forgive me for being clumsy, I can't see anything good about this string of beads, and I ask you to give me some advice." ”

Qi Ming is not superstitious about authority, but he is even more convinced that even if Wei Ye wants to make a fool of himself, it is impossible to make a mistake on this bracelet. The simple method of elimination, either Wei Ye is wrong, or his eyesight is limited and he can't see it really.

Wei Ye glanced at him approvingly, reached out and took the bead string back, and then pulled it a little harder, and actually directly tore off the rope of the bead string.

In Qi Xiang's surprised gaze, Wei Ye casually stuffed a bead to a child next to him, and said with a kind smile: "Take it and play with it." ”

The child was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, grandpa." ”

"Good!"

Wei Ye touched the child's head, and walked away a few steps in time, so as not to be misunderstood by others that he had malicious intentions and abducted and sold the child.

Regarding Wei Ye's actions, Qi Xiang was also a little confused and puzzled.

At this moment, Wei Ye's palm flipped over, and he saw a shiny bead shining in his palm.

"What is this?" Qi Xiang's heart moved, thoughtful.

"Look at it." Wei Ye handed over the beads again.

Among the strings of beads, Wei Ye only left one of them.

Qi Xiang was very cautious, and took the beads over and looked at them carefully. As soon as you get started, you'll immediately notice the difference.

There is an idiom in China called "Fish Eyes Mixed Beads". Because in ancient times, the eyes of big fish were similar to pearls, and some black-hearted merchants simply mixed fish eyes into pearls to sell them to trick people.

Similar to this kind of shoddy and indiscriminate tricks, whether ancient or modern, is not uncommon, and there are not a few.

But the flip around, if a pearl falls into a pile of fish eyes, who can be sure that the pearl is a pearl, not a fish eye?

Qi Xiang exhaled and smiled bitterly, his expression was a little self-deprecating, but also a little firm: "This is ...... Agate! ”

There are many fake things, and it is naturally easy to be deceived by the illusion, so that the real thing is ignored. But now, the real thing has been picked out, and no matter how bad Qi Xiang's eyesight is, he can still identify it.

Not surprisingly, this bead should be a natural agate stone. The color of the thing is bright and bright, natural and pure, smooth and delicate. The texture is natural and smooth, the colors are distinct, the sense of hierarchy is strong, and the bands are obvious.

Looking at the light, the beads are still as oily as glass. All kinds of signs indicate that this must be agate.

"Well, it's Onyx." Wei Ye also affirmed his judgment.

Qi Xiang smiled and sighed: "Master Wei, you are still like a torch and observant, you can be called a ...... of fiery eyes."

Looking at the same bracelet, people easily recognize the pearls and pick up a small leak, but he is ignorant, and he has to be reminded again and again to understand what is going on, this is the gap.

"You can watch more, learn more, and you can do the same in the future." Wei Ye said a word of encouragement in passing.

"I'll work hard......" Qi Xiang returned the agate beads, and then said with a smile: "By the way, Master Wei, I have something else I want to ask you for." ”

"What's the matter? You said. Wei Ye asked, he was in a good mood now and didn't mind giving advice.

"Is there agarwood in your old shop? Agarwood! Qi Xiang emphasized that this was the main purpose of his stay and others.

"Agarwood?" Wei Ye raised his eyebrows: "You want?" ”

Qi Xiang nodded vaguely, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, it's hard to find agarwood incense now, you should have it in your store." ”

Qi Xiang repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to be incense, mainly because he also knew how to do it.

Generally speaking, the greater the density of agarwood, the more resin condensed, and the better its quality, so the ancients often divided agarwood into different grades based on whether it can sink into water.

Those who sink when they enter the water are called ashen incense; secondly, those who are half-floating and half-sunk are called stack incense, also known as paper incense, water incense, etc.; Again, the one that enters the water slightly and floats on the surface of the water is called Huang Shuxiang.

Qi Xiang specified that he wanted agarwood incense, mainly because some people could not believe in the quality of agarwood on the market.

Due to the scarcity of agarwood, the formation of agarwood also requires a certain probability, which is hard to find, so the ancients regarded high-grade natural agarwood as a priceless treasure.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that one or two sank and one or two gold. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the saying evolved more directly into an inch of gold.

In modern times, the price of agarwood has skyrocketed, far surpassing gold. There are profits to be made, and naturally some people dig out their minds to ripen agarwood through some means, and even forge agarwood.

In the era of rampant fakes, Qi Xiang had to be careful not to be deceived.

"The water sinks, but there is a ...... in my store"

At this time, Wei Ye smiled and said: "It's not much, just two or three." ”

"Two or three is enough." Qi Xiang hurriedly said: "Please also ask Wei Ye to cut his love." ”

"Open the door to do business, you want to buy, can I still sell it?" Wei Ye waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go and sit in my store." ”

Wei Ye's shop is not far from here, and it took more than ten minutes to get a car.

It is a two-storey store, Bo Guya plays four black characters on a white background, ink is dripping, iron painting silver hook, giving people a classical impression full of charm.

The decoration of the store is also antique. Carved bamboo and wood window grilles, oily wooden floors, and rattan woven tables and chairs are all full of ancient fashion.

"Master Wei, you're back."

Qi Xiang followed Wei Ye into the store, and several shrewd and capable guys surrounded him one after another.

"You are busy with your own ......" Wei Ye said, after all, there are still customers in the store, leaving the guests around you one by one, this is putting the cart before the horse.

A few guys also understood Wei Ye's temperament, and hurriedly nodded and dispersed, and continued to work.

"Xiao Qi, let's go upstairs."

At the same time, Wei Ye beckoned lightly and took Qi Xiang to a reception room on the second floor.

"You sit down first, I'll go get agarwood."

Wei Ye poured him a glass of water and left the reception room.

Qi Xiang took a sip of water and looked at the layout of the room with interest. The windows are bright and clean, the style is elegant, and the calligraphy and paintings are hung on the snow-white walls, which seem to be the works of small masters.

High-end, atmospheric ......

This is Qi Xiang's overall impression of Bo Guya's play, and he is very envious in his heart. Think about your own small shop, compared to it, it can't be on the table at all, it's a world of difference.

Qi Xiang sighed and admired the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

Time passed inadvertently, and more than ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, but Wei Ye did not come back.

Qi Xiang was a little strange, wondering if he should go out to take a look at the situation.

At this moment, a guy pushed the door in, with an apologetic smile on his face: "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay......" Qi Xiang frowned slightly, looking left and right: "What about Wei Ye?" ”

"A regular customer suddenly came to the store, it was an old friend of Wei Ye, and he personally came forward to entertain him." The guy smiled lovely, and after explaining, he held the box in his hand: "Mr. Qi, this is the agarwood you want, Wei Ye asked me to bring it." ”

It's good to have agarwood......

Qi Xiang stretched his brows and said with a smile: "Wei Ye has a lot of nobles, which is understandable. ”

The guy nodded yes, walked over with a smile, put the box directly on the table, and gestured: "Mr. Qi, according to your request, this is the only water left in the store, you can take a look." ”

Qi Xiang opened the box and saw a piece of wood that looked like dry tree bark appeared in front of his eyes.

The wood chips are a little thick, black-brown, only the size of a baby's palm, and the texture is relatively fine, and a little grease can be seen with the naked eye.

There is no doubt that this is agarwood, an agarwood that can sink to the bottom of the water.

Qi Xiang looked at it and asked, "Can you get started?" ”

"Yes......" The guy naturally will not object.

Qi Xiang picked up the wood chips, only to see that the surface of the wood chips was not very smooth, with wooden textures, but not very regular, as if they were made of many mixed textures.

On top of that, the wood chips have no smell and do not smell the slightest aroma.

Qi Xiang also knows that this is a normal phenomenon. After all, only when agarwood is burned, will the aroma come out. It does not burn, and the aroma of agarwood is in a restrained form, which is very interesting.

"What is the price of this piece of water sinking?" Qi Xiang asked, and after researching, he felt that the quality of this agarwood was good and should not be missed.

"Three hundred thousand!" The guy said with a smile, and the price quoted made Qi Xiang's wrist tremble slightly.

"Three hundred thousand?"

Qi Xiang's expression was a little complicated, although he also knew in his heart that agarwood was definitely not cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive......
