Chapter 019: Agarwood
Although Yan Shuiran is studying the secret art of physiognomy very seriously every day, there are many materials that can be used to make magic weapons in the chapter on magic weapons, including agarwood. It's just that Yan Shuiran's own knowledge is still too narrow, so she hasn't learned how to distinguish agarwood yet.
"Who said that agarwood must have a fragrance?" Yan Caiying shook her head funny and said, "You, in the future, in front of outsiders, you must not say this, otherwise people will think that I, the father, have not taught me well!" ”
Yan Shuiran nodded obediently, pulled Yan Caiying's arm and shook it uncontrollably: "Dad, just hurry up and tell me about this agarwood!" ”
It's rare that her daughter is interested, and Yan Caiying naturally knows everything.
"In fact, most agarwood is almost inaudible under normal conditions, and the rich aroma of agarwood will only diffuse when it is smoked and clearly felt." Yan Caiying explained, "Now in the market, you can smell the strong aroma of the so-called agarwood objects you usually see in the streets and alleys. It's basically a fake, mixed with various chemicals, it smells very pungent, and it can't be real agarwood at all! ”
I see!
Yan Shuiran suddenly realized.
"Good agarwood, under normal circumstances, takes at least a few decades to form, and it is becoming more and more rare on the market today." Yan Caiying looked at the wooden gourd in her hand and said with emotion, "The darker the agarwood, the better it will be." Although different types of agarwood have different colors, whether they are black, yellow or saffron agarwood, this principle is the same. ”
Yan Shuiran looked at the wooden gourd held in his father's hand, and after the wooden gourd was pierced by Yan Shuiran, the color became brighter and brighter, and it was much more beautiful than before. But this brightness does not refer to the color of the surface of the gourd, but refers to a feeling.
The wooden gourd itself is saffron red, very dark in color, already close to black. Yan Shuiran can conclude that the quality of the agarwood that makes this gourd must be of the highest quality!
And Yan Shuiran's guess was also confirmed in Yan Caiying's next words.
"Something like agarwood has to grow for at least a few decades before it has all the results. And the mature agarwood, the objects made can make people clearly feel the texture of agarwood, and there will be a greasy and cold touch to the touch. Yan Caiying stroked the surface of the wooden gourd, and her eyes became brighter and brighter, "And the high-grade agarwood objects, under normal circumstances, will naturally have some elegant and clear smells with a little honey fragrance." Even if there is no aroma, you can feel the long, long, pure aroma of it. ”
Almost all of these characteristics he said can be found on this agarwood gourd.
Yan Shuiran blinked and said, "Dad, is my wooden gourd made of high-quality agarwood?" ”
In fact, Yan Shuiran already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't show it directly.
"High-grade agarwood is very rare, but it's not so easy to find." Yan Caiying glanced at her daughter deeply, "The market price of this agarwood gourd is at least more than 300,000." Ranran, your luck, it's really good. ”
The implication is that it is determined that the wooden gourd obtained by Yan Shuiran is indeed made of high-quality agarwood!
It's amazing how much money a head can be worth when shopping on a carpet!
Yan Shuiran pretended to be delighted: "Really?!" That's great! This gourd looks so beautiful, Dad, can you help me find someone to drill a small hole in this gourd? When the time comes, make this gourd into a pendant, and I'll make a birthday gift for my mother! ”
Yan Caiying was stunned.
He thought that after he broke the value of this agarwood gourd, his daughter should be overjoyed to put things away by herself. Unexpectedly, she was happy, but in the blink of an eye, she offered to give this thing to her mother!
Her daughter's filial piety really moved Yan Caiying.
"Okay, this matter is on me, I promise that I won't delay your mother's birthday!" Yan Caiying agreed with a smile.
Yan Shuiran was still a little uneasy: "Dad, you have to remember, this is my birthday gift to my mother, but don't lose it!" ”
Yan Caiying came and went around many friends who were very interested in antiques, Yan Shuiran was really worried that this agarwood gourd would be favored by a friend of her father, but in the end, her father sold it in a daze.
This thing, in terms of quality alone, is already worth hundreds of thousands. If you add its hidden magic weapon attributes, it is not difficult to sell it for millions of sky-high prices!
If Yan Caiying really sold this agarwood gourd as an ordinary object, the loss of value would be secondary, and the most important thing is that it is really not easy to find such a cheap and spiritually powerful magic weapon again!
"Okay, okay, I remember!" Yan Caiying laughed and said, "Don't worry, I promise that I won't delay your affairs!" ”
Yan Shuiran nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Wang, the driver who was driving, couldn't help but look at Yan Caiying's father and daughter sitting in the back mirror from the rearview mirror.
He has seen Yan Shuiran a few times, and it is the first time he has found this boss's daughter, in fact, she is still a little cute, and she is not always cold like before.
And the most important thing is that Yan Shuiran casually buys something on a stall that is worth hundreds of thousands, which is even more stunning.
The father and daughter were talking and laughing in the car, and it took almost four hours to reach the destination of their trip.
This time the place they went to was called Jushou Village, a somewhat remote village under Rongcheng. There are not many residents in the village anymore, and most of them have moved to more prosperous areas. Most of the people who remain in the village today are elderly people who are reluctant to leave their hometowns, or children who are inconvenient to be taken by their parents.
When Yan Shuiran and the others arrived, He Chuan, who often ran goods outside the Yingrui Antique Agency, had already arrived first with Lu Zhiye, the foreign aid expert they invited this time.
Lui Zhiye is not a native of Rongcheng, but he has been living in Rongcheng for four or five years. He himself is a consultant of many laboratories, and he also bears the title of honorary professor of Rongcheng University, and he is not small in the antique circle of Rongcheng, and many people will find him for identification.
If it weren't for that, Yan Caiying wouldn't have been able to invite him with confidence.
"Yan Dong."
He Chuan stepped forward to greet him, and by the way, he told Yan Caiying about the current situation.
It turned out that before Yan Caiying arrived, He Chuan had already taken Lu Zhiye to the villager's house to see the previous batch of goods that they were optimistic about. And after some careful appraisal, Lui Zhiye believes that most of them are genuine and worth accepting.
