Chapter 656: Chicken Bone Fragrance

"Things are not so complicated, this thing is actually very simple, that is, we like that piece, you will make a price, there is no need to say the least amount of money at the beginning, etc., they are all mixed in this line, what is going on is very clear, isn't it?"

Seeing Luo Jianghua's hesitant look, Fang Ming "rushed" another sentence, not only to give Luo Jianghua a step down, but also to tell the other party clearly again, anyway, this is the way things are, if you insist on it, then don't blame me.

Song Miao glanced at Fang Ming again at this time, in fact, she knew that she was the same as Lin Wei, because of her background, she often came into contact with "Hongru"-style characters, and there was no problem at all in dealing with such "educated" people, but once she met an oil-like character like Luo Jianghua, many times it was just fine, but Fang Ming was not like this, he seemed to be able to be comfortable no matter what kind of person he was.

For example, although he felt very angry at himself and Lin Wei before, when he calmed down after going back, he thought about it carefully, and found that Fang Ming's strategy was very effective.

Looking at his strategy against Luo Jianghua at this time, it is also very effective.

"Such a person is a really powerful person, to put it mildly, it is called cunning, but to put it nicely, it is shrewd."

Song Miao thought secretly in her heart, but this also made her feel that it was really getting more and more difficult to achieve her goal on Dongcheng Street.

This was something she didn't expect at all before she came to Dongcheng Street, before coming here, she felt that with the Song family's status in the antique collecting world, even if she couldn't dominate here, she would be able to get a big piece of the cake.

However, after coming here, she found that this was not the case at all, she had thought of a lot of methods to no avail, and she found more and more that Fang Ming was more difficult to deal with, which was not a good thing.

"Ha, okay, you can say whatever you want."

Luo Jianghua thought for a while, and finally nodded. Although on the surface, it seems that what Fang Ming said is not much different from the reserve price he set before, in the end, no matter which piece Fang Ming or Lin Wei fancies, let him set the price himself, to put it bluntly, that is, how much he wants to set. But in fact, there is still a difference, because if the reserve price is set, it will definitely be higher than the reserve price, and now let Fang Ming say this, then things will be completely different.

"Okay."

Fang Ming nodded, turned to Lin Wei and said, "Boss Lin, the matter is settled, I think ...... Why don't you come first? ”

Lin Zuo sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that he had already lost for a while before he could compare, especially in such a public situation. Now the only way is to win the next competition.

Now that he heard Fang Ming say let him come first, Lin Zuo couldn't be polite, this time it was actually very simple to bet with Fang Ming, that is, to see who could find the best agarwood in Luo Jianghua, since this was the case, whoever started first would nod cheaply, if it was someone else, Lin Zuo might not be so nervous, but at this time, it was Fang Ming!

Lin Zuo immediately walked in front of Luo Jianghua, and Luo Jianghua had already taken down the bag he was carrying, then spread a piece of oiled paper on the ground, and then put out more than twenty pieces of agarwood, Lin Zuo immediately sat down and picked it up carefully.

At the beginning, Lin Zuo's face was still relatively calm, he was a person who had played agarwood all his life, and he was much more confident in the identification of agarwood than other antiques, so he dared to compete with Fang Ming on this, but when he saw Luo Jianghua's agarwood in front of him, he felt that he really didn't have much certainty.

Agarwood trees have a characteristic, that is, the taproot often hangs down, which can maintain water and soil well, and at the same time, because it has the characteristics of insect repellent, it is also very good for the natural ecology, so now many are also developing the planting of agarwood trees.

It should be noted that what we usually call agarwood is not a kind of tree, but the wood containing resin is formed after years of deposition, in general, it is a solid condensation mixed with resin and wood components, and the forest that can produce agarwood, such as the Malay agarwood tree, the guanxiang tree or the Indian agarwood tree, itself has no special fragrance, and the wood is relatively soft.

An important feature of judging whether agarwood is good is to look at its density, the greater the density, the more condensed resin, the better the quality, which is why people will take agarwood is not sinking water as a criterion: the more resin condensed, the greater the density, so it tends to sink in water.

Generally speaking, agarwood can be divided into three levels, the first is of course agarwood, such agarwood is called "agarwood incense", the second level is semi-immersive, which is called "stack incense", or "make water incense" and the like, and there is a slight water into the water as if floating on the sand The one is also called agarwood, but generally speaking, it is called "yellow ripe incense".

For this point, Lin is very clear about nature, but theory is theory, practice is practice, and the experience of agarwood that he has studied all his life is naturally very

But there is a problem that he found that the agarwood taken out by the person in front of him turned out to be of quite good quality.

It's impossible.

Because if the other party's agarwood is real, then there is no need to sell it on the street at all. Of course, there should be a real one among these agarwoods, and he knows too well about these so-called cloth bag customers, and the things he carries in his pocket are often nine false and one true, because only in this way can he be selected by others, and then fool people through language and other ways in the process of selection, so that people can finally buy the fake ones.

Lin Wei knew that what he had to do now was to find that piece was true.

"Heh, this boss, in fact, these agarwoods are good, no matter which piece you choose, they are all good things, for example, this port of chicken bone fragrance is good."

Luo Jianghua looked at Lin Zuo who was squatting in front of him, and his heart moved, he knew whether he would be able to make a fool today or that he would be able to earn all the money for the next month's wine, it depended on this person As for the young man before, he felt that he didn't have many opportunities, and he knew that he definitely belonged to the kind of person he couldn't afford to mess with.

In fact, Luo Jianghua belongs to the kind of person who changes places with one shot in the antique circle, to put it bluntly or ugly, that is, a liar-style character who wanders the rivers and lakes, over the years, he is too experienced, he knows what kind of people can be provoked, and what kind of people are not provoked People like Fang Ming belong to people who can't be messed with.

After realizing this, Luo Jianghua immediately flickered.

Shaking his head, Lin Wei glanced at Luo Jianghua and said, "Heh, this thing ......"

Regarding the piece of chicken bone incense that Luo Jianghua said, Lin Zuo just glanced at it and then stopped looking at it.

Agarwood because it is naturally formed, so the size and shape are different, in the process of many years there have been a lot of interesting names, such as leaf incense, which refers to the shape of the agarwood as if it is a leaf, light incense, which refers to the appearance of the agarwood that seems to be a dry cracked stone, such agarwood is generally not used for play or medicine, but for decoration, and there are for example, called tooth incense, which refers to the formation of agarwood is relatively small, just like the teeth of horses.

As for the so-called chicken bone fragrance, it refers to the agarwood with a hole in the middle, just like chicken bones.

Although Luo Jianghua said this, Lin, as a veteran like this, would not be fooled.

Generally speaking, the width of a good agarwood will not exceed ten centimeters

meters, the length is only a few tens of centimeters, after all, agarwood is naturally formed, and there will never be that kind of thing with a diameter of meters.

Generally speaking, the texture of good agarwood is more official, even harder than stone, because it is naturally formed, so the surface is very uneven, many times there will be potholes, from the color is often green or dark green, some are black or brown, yellow and so on.

In addition to identifying agarwood from these aspects, it should also be noted that agarwood is composed of two parts, resin and wood, the resin part is relatively heavy in color, and the wood part is relatively light, usually it is light yellow-white, and these two colors will form a variety of textures after being mixed together.

Luo Jianghua said that the piece of chicken bone incense, the surface is very smooth, this is one of them, generally speaking, unless it is a special destination such as carving, it will not be polished, Luo Jianghua said that the surface of this piece of agarwood is very smooth, but in terms of shape, it remains in a relatively primitive state, which is impossible. Moreover, the feeling of getting started is not right, the average person used to agarwood because it was formed by resin, and they are saying that the more oil the agarwood, the better the agarwood, for the sake of laymen, so some fake agarwood will go through some methods to get some oil, it looks like a lot of oil, and it is the kind of oil that touches a hand. It's impossible.

Although the real agarwood looks full of oil, it feels like touching the oil block when you get started, but there is no oil on your hands.

Of course, this seems to be very simple, but without rich experience value, even if you get started, you can't tell the real texture of agarwood, after all, it's a high-tech era, and many things are too high to imitate.

Lin Zuo had touched a lot of agarwood, so as soon as he touched the piece of chicken bone incense that Luo Jianghua said, he knew that it was fake.
