Chapter Seventy-Six: The Stone Scenery is Unique
Old bark wraps new branches, is it bitter?
Nie Yun's brain spun quickly, and he did think that there was indeed such a statement in some bonsai books. Generally speaking, old trees and new branches are relatively rare in the bonsai world. Therefore, all bonsai with old trees and new branches generally have a variety of fame.
Dead wood is spring, old and strong, and there are hard and bitter ......
Among them, the dead wood in spring generally refers to an old stump, giving birth to a new branch, and this new branch is in stark contrast to the huge old stump. The addition of a new branch on an old stump that looks almost dead from the outside can often give people a sense of euphoria.
This form of bonsai is also "rotten and magical"!
When it is old and strong, it is generally an old stump that grows a large number of new branches, which are full of vitality and give people a sense of luxury.
As for the bitterness, it is one of the most common forms of bonsai.
Old bark, wrap new branches!
Or, in a hole in a decaying old stump, a new branch suddenly grows, giving people the feeling that the old stump has consumed all its vitality, just so that this new branch can flourish and grow. It's absolutely appropriate to call it bitterness!
Now, in front of this wolf's den, this old pine stake among the weeds is the shape of a tree with "hard work", and such a tree shape is placed before the old wolf's den that gave birth to a young wolf, and the meaning can be said to be extremely appropriate. Because of this, Zhao Jianhong said that this old pine stake is worth a lot!
"Hey, this bark is still well preserved, and the old wolf walked back and forth, grinding this old bark like a carving...... The bark is so well preserved, the price of this old pile is even higher. Conservative estimates, take it out and sell it, tens of thousands is still no problem! Zhao Jianhong touched the bark of the old pine tree and said with some surprise.
Nie Yun also took a look, this old pine was on the edge of the wolf's den, the old wolf walked back and forth, the fur polished the old pile, and really polished the bark of the old pile like the surface of a root carving, which was extremely smooth.
Not only is it smooth, but even on the surface, it looks like a layer of dark red enamel has been applied!
Wooden gadgets, if you play with them all the time, may become dark red if something gets on the surface. Some elderly people in the countryside have a small walnut tied to the bag under their eyes, and they have been playing with it for decades, just like red jade.
Those who do root carving, after the root carving is carved, apply a layer of red oil, and also want to show this quality.
And this old pine stake is a coyote walking back and forth, naturally polished with fur, in the words of the old people in the countryside, I am afraid that it is stained with the spirit of the coyote. Those root carvings that deliberately apply red oil naturally cannot be compared.
One of the biggest problems with the old stumps found in the wild is that the old bark is easy to rot and not solid enough, so the value of bonsai is greatly reduced. This old pine, this old bark is still well preserved, and one side is still polished red by the coyote fur, which is quite a good old pile. Because of this, Zhao Jianhong judged that this bonsai is worth more than 10,000!
Worth more than 10,000 yuan, in bonsai, it can already be regarded as the top grade.
For example, the old golden cinnamon and immortal deer ancient pine sold by Nie Yun before, the main focus is just a "strange" word, scarce, rare is expensive, the whole north is just an old pile dragon claw golden cinnamon, and the ancient pine in the shape of immortal deer is also extremely rare, so it is sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands and millions.
To put it mildly, Nie Yun's bonsai before, especially the old golden cinnamon, had a greater hype factor.
If it was just one of these old golden cinnamon plants that Nie Yun had introduced from the south, even if it was strange enough, it would be worth only 500,000.
And that old golden cinnamon, Zhou Lao has been in charge for eight years, carefully tailored, more than a month ago he was terminally ill and came back to life, even so, this old golden cinnamon is worth 1.5 million yuan. That is, Liu Junwei dared to speculate, and as soon as the price was raised, it went up to 3 million, and Zhuang Yawen dared to follow the price, which reached a sky-high price of 3.5 million.
In terms of real ornamental value, the old golden cinnamon may not be much stronger than this old pine root!
Flower bonsai is more hype, which is also a major phenomenon in the industry, such as orchids, some rare varieties, and can even be sold for tens of millions of sky-high prices, which are actually fried.
In terms of ornamental value alone, these tens of millions of orchids are really much stronger than a pot bought for dozens of dollars?
This answer is definitely no, I am personally good, it is estimated that many people look at ordinary orchids for dozens of dollars a pot, but they are better looking than orchids worth tens of millions......
Although the "bitterness" of this old pine is also strange, it is just a relatively common plant type in the end, and its value is relatively high, but it is not too outrageous. Zhao Jianhong estimated that the 10,000 should be almost its actual value.
"This old pine stump, I'm afraid it has been up for at least ten years, and it is quite good to make bonsai. Unexpectedly, next to this coyote den, there are unexpected gains. Brother Nie Yun, take a sapper shovel to get this old pine stump out, bring some soil, and go back to prune and cultivate, it will be a high-quality plant! At that time, I will have to compete with the price! Zhao Jianhong straightened up and smiled at Nie Yun.
This old stake was discovered by Nie Yun, and even this coyote den was found by a charcoal ball, so this old pine naturally belongs to Nie Yun.
Even if this pile was discovered by Zhao Jianhong, Zhao Jianhong would definitely give it to Nie Yun!
If it weren't for Nie Yun and Tanqiu just now, he rushed over to deal with this coyote, I'm afraid that he would have to fall into the way of this coyote, not to mention the loss of sunspots, he would at least have to suffer a little injury. If you are seriously injured, the consequences are unimaginable......
To put it seriously, Nie Yun can almost be regarded as his savior!
Now that Zhao Jianhong has a little wolf cub, he is already very content, and it is only natural that this old pile of ancient pine is given to Nie Yun. What's more, bonsai worth tens of thousands of yuan, Zhao Jianhong doesn't say that it is not eye-catching, but he doesn't particularly care.
"In that case, brother, then you're welcome!" Nie Yun originally wanted to excuse himself, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea again.
Zhao Jianhong is bold and free-spirited, and he doesn't like to owe favors the most, Nie Yun helped him block the coyote's attack before, and he must have written it down in his heart. This time Nie Yun didn't take this bonsai, and Zhao Jianhong was definitely not happy. What's more, with this bonsai, Nie Yun has other uses.
The last time he competed for Lao Jingui, Liu Junwei lost to Zhuang Yawen.
However, this kid wants to get a bonsai for his old man, but the desire to please the old man is still there. It just so happens that this old pine root can be taken by Liu Junwei to give to Liu Zhong.
Although the value of this old pine root is not as high as that of the old golden cinnamon, it is only a root type with "hard work", and the younger generation takes it as a gift to the elders, which is more meaningful!
Holding a military shovel in his hand, Nie Yun took a look at the old pine root.
This old pine is rooted in the cracks of the stone, and it is difficult to dig it out.
After thinking about it, Nie Yun didn't dig the old pine root at all, but inserted the shovel into a stone crack that was more than 20 centimeters away from the old pine root, and pried it hard, and the mountain stone where the old pine root was born was also pried and shook slightly.
It was only a moment of digging around this rock, and the whole rock was already swaying back and forth, and the old pine roots, which were rooted in the rocks, also swayed.
"Up!"
Nie Yun grabbed this mountain stone with both hands, and with a fierce force, the whole mountain stone was directly pried out by Nie Yun!
This mountain stone is not big, the shape is irregular, the longest place is afraid of thirty or forty centimeters, above the mountain stone, there are many cracks and holes. The roots of the old pine were rooted in the rocks, and the roots also extended to the soil layer under the rocks, and Nie Yun pried up the rocks and brought out a puddle of soil below.
"Brother, this old pine root connects this stone and makes a bonsai together, what do you think?"
Gently putting the mountain stone on the ground, Nie Yun asked Zhao Jianhong.
"Even this mountain stone together, make a bonsai?"
This time, hearing Nie Yun's words, Zhao Jianhong's face really changed, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but step forward again, carefully observing the combination of this mountain stone and the old pine.
Bonsai is divided into mountain stone bonsai and stump-bonsai, but there are many mixed bonsai. A pine tree on a high mountain, a strange stone, a small pine on the top, or an old root, and a strange stone below, this is a common thing. Even, some pure stump bonsai have two pebbles in the pot, saying that it can improve feng shui...... As for the specific statement, it is not for outsiders......
The old pine with the mountain stone is not impossible, and even, with good cooperation, it can also greatly improve the grade of bonsai!
Zhao Jianhong surrounded this mountain rock and looked at it carefully.
This mountain rock, which could only be seen outside the wolf's den before, did not show anything peculiar. Now it has been completely dug out by Nie Yun, and part of the wolf's den has also appeared, and at this time, Zhao Jianhong realized that some of the mountain rocks in this wolf's den have also been rubbed back and forth by the coyote, which looks extremely smooth, and it happens to be one with the stump of this old pine, which is very commensurate!
In addition, the old pine is rooted in the rocks, which shows the harsh living environment.
Under such a harsh living environment, it can still give birth to a tree shape with "hard work", which is like an old man, who is not fed and clothed, and has to raise his descendants...... The "bitterness" and "bitterness" of this "bitterness" are even more incisive!
"Stone scenery is unique...... The stone scenery is stunning, ......"
Zhao Jianhong muttered in his mouth, raised his head sharply, and looked at Nie Yun.
"Brother Nie pried out this mountain stone together with the old pine, and the pine stone matched, which was excellent. If it is said that the bonsai made of this old pine stump can be worth tens of thousands, I am afraid that this mountain stone ancient pine matches, the mountain stone and bonsai are all excellent, and the value of this old pine is enough to multiply ten times, or even more than ah! Zhao Jianhong said to Nie Yun with a straight face.
――――――
ps: I remember some time ago, a book friend asked, is the knowledge of raising bonsai mentioned in the old fox book useful in reality.
Here the old fox said, common sense surnames are all useful. As for some tricks, such as the preparation of special nutrient soil, don't try these......
As for the information on the Internet, there are many fallacies on the Internet, and it is recommended that everyone treat them differently.
The old fox writes a book, of course, can not rely on the inventory in the head, must always consult the information, the current old fox in the hands of the information, is "Chinese osmanthus cultivation and appreciation" (July 2011 first edition, Golden Shield Publishing House, Huang Ying, Deng Rongyan teacher ed.), "Orchid Story" (January 2009 first edition, China Forestry Publishing House, Liu Yitao teacher ed.). The selected publications are relatively authoritative publications in the past two years. As for some of the publications of the early years, or the information on the Internet, many of them are outdated, especially for new varieties of flowers. I will continue to talk to you about what information I will use in the future.
In the end, I still ask for recommendation votes......
