Chapter 350: Picking incense

Han Peacock looked at the two elephants eating leaves leisurely on the side, just their size, which discouraged many predators in the jungle, after all, they were not the two old and weak elephants, but adult strong elephants.

If there is danger, the elephant can also warn them in advance and tell them that there is danger, plus this side has a wide field of vision, and it is not easy to be attacked by wild beasts, so that Han Peacock is really not afraid of wild beasts coming to attack them.

After a while, everything that should be arranged was arranged, and Han Peacock got up again, ready to look for it again, and maybe he could pick a lot of agarwood.

At this time, Han Xing also knew what Han Peacock had discovered, so he was also very excited, and Bai Xiaoyi and the others had already run to the agarwood tree in the distance to visit the agarwood tree.

Han Peacock could hear their conversation and laughter from a distance, and since Weijia and several people were guarding them, Han Peacock didn't worry about their safety, so he didn't care about them.

However, from the few words that floated in the distance, Han Peacock found that he really ignored something.

For example, these living agarwood trees, it can be said that the agarwood trees are full of treasures, but Han Peacock only saw the agarwood produced by the agarwood tree species, but ignored this small piece of agarwood forest.

Agarwood is a treasure all over the body, the leaves can be processed into tea, agarwood can be refined into essence, one gram of gold, the general branches pruned down every year are also purchased, can also be sold to pharmacies for dispensing, fruits can be sold or self-cultivated seedlings for sale.

If all these agarwood trees are dug up, this visit to the Three Kingdoms will not be in vain.

It is important to know that the cultivation of agarwood in Ludao is also very promising. As long as the environment is not too outrageous, the agarwood tree is easy to grow, and it is definitely a tree species that is very suitable for large-scale planting.

Planting agarwood, harvesting gold, this is not false at all, the leaves of the agarwood tree can be deeply processed into agarwood tea from young leaves to old leaves, and Han Peacock has a tea garden, although he does not have much thought to manage, but it is also very good to add an agarwood tea.

Agarwood stalks are processed into hygienic incense. As long as you light it at home. Mosquitoes are most afraid of the smell of agarwood, but it repells mosquitoes and does not kill mosquitoes, and is the king of incense used and recognized by all religions in the world;

The agarwood stalk is processed into a length of 3~4cm, and the medicinal materials department acquires it. After 5~6 years of planting. The diameter of the tree has reached more than 15 cm. At this time, artificial incense can be made.

Artificial incense can be harvested after 2~3 years, and agarwood contains rich life elements, such as calcium, zinc, iron, manganese, etc. It has reassuring miraculous meridians, awakening the brain, clearing the liver and nourishing the spleen and stomach, clearing the mind and helping sleep, reducing flatulence, indigestion, detoxification and beauty, lowering blood sugar and lipids, and anti-cancer.

After cutting, the agarwood tree head is set aside for three or five years, and it is a good agarwood, and its value may be more expensive than the body of the tree.

Such a good thing is simply hard to find, and he is absolutely lucky to be able to encounter such a small piece of agarwood tree in the jungle.

Although a large number of agarwood tree plantations have been born in China with the hot agarwood market, it is not so easy for those plantations to harvest agarwood.

Especially the agarwood tree that grows up, the price is very expensive, as long as it can produce incense, it is expensive, and it is not cheap to plant incense.

The premise of the incense tree is that the incense tree should grow to a certain extent, and the oil glands of the tree should grow completely, which can provide sufficient resin secretion.

Generally speaking, wild agarwood trees need to grow for more than 30 years before the tree itself has enough oil glands for it to secrete resin.

It is difficult for incense trees that are less than 30 years old to produce incense, and only when they have grown for more than 30 years and the oil glands have matured can they secrete enough resin to produce enough resin for incense after injury.

Of course, the agarwood tree cultivated in modern times can bear incense in six to seven years, but the quality of such incense can be imagined.

And this small piece of agarwood tree here, there is no one less than the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, such an agarwood tree, without thirty or fifty years, will never grow so thick.

There are more than 100 agarwood trees growing here in a row, most of them are 7 to 10 meters high and the bowl mouth is thick, among which there are two agarwood trees with a DBH of about 70 centimeters, these two agarwood trees have grown for at least 100 years and are more than 20 meters high.

From the outside, the agarwood tree is similar to an ordinary tree species, with dark gray bark and snakeskin-like patterns.

However, these agarwood trees are crooked one by one, so Han Peacock deduced that they have encountered large mudslides or floods, otherwise they would not be like this.

"Big brother, these are agarwood trees?" Han Xing sent the translator Lajiawa to Liu Wu and Bai Xiaoyi, and he himself followed Han Peacock.

Han Peacock said: "These are agarwood trees, you see those agarwood trees, they should all have been injured, and they can all produce incense, but we haven't dug incense once, I don't know how to dig it." ”

Very unexpectedly, Han Xing said: "I know a little bit about this, I have seen the information in this regard, agarwood pregnant in the belly of the ancient tree, it may be in the root, it may also be in the stem or in the branch, it is not visible from the outside, the ancients knocked its roots with an axe and listened to it, that is, they knew where the knot was, and broke the tree and took it." ”

Han Peacock smiled: "So there is no other way to collect, find agarwood with alienated resin, and collect it after cutting?" ”

Han Xing said: "When I was in school, one of our professors liked agarwood very much, so he once told us in class that in ancient times, incense pickers could not act alone, at least five or six people formed a group of incense pickers.

Because there are too few people in the mountains to support, too many people are not conducive to distribution, the time to go up the mountain is generally very long, too long is difficult to support the energy, too short and difficult to search for good incense.

Incense harvesting tools are particularly indispensable, the most basic of which are pickaxes for digging, as well as knives, saws, hooks, etc.

The necessities of life on the mountain must also be prepared and carried with them, such as vegetables, rice, meat and dried vegetables, etc., if it rains, the incense pickers have to hide in the caves, and sometimes even eating becomes a problem.

In fine weather, the agarwood leaves seem to become soft and light, and experienced incense pickers can see this quality from a certain distance.

If it is a fragrant tree with smooth bark, it has not yet produced incense, if there are galls, pits, etc., then it is necessary to pay great attention, often there is incense.

The skin and soil of the incense buried in the ground will be a little dark in color, and flowers and plants generally do not grow on such mounds.

There is a good fragrance under such black soil, and some of them have grown into the cracks of the stones in the ground because of their age, and such incense needs to be carefully hooked out of the cracks in the stones with hooks to maintain its intact properties. ”

"You kid knows how to memorize it, but can you apply what you've learned?" Han Peacock's eyes looked at the black earth under his feet faintly.

The soil here is a little dark in color, and there are a lot of places in this place, all of which do not grow flowers and plants, no wonder the water and soil here are good, but nothing grows! It turned out that there was agarwood underneath.

Perhaps because he understood Han Peacock's eyes, Han Xing couldn't help but follow Han Peacock's gaze and looked at the ground.

"Big brother, you mean there's agarwood down here?" Han Xing was a little incredulous.

Han Peacock said: "Look at the surrounding environment, this place is very suitable for the growth of agarwood trees, and you look at this bend, if there is a lot of water on the mountain, will it impact this bend?" Are you looking at these agarwood trees, do they look like they have been washed by the water? ”

Han Xing said: "If that's the case, why is there an agarwood tree here, but there isn't a single one in the bay over there?" ”

Han Peacock said: "You have to carefully analyze the topography here, you see, is it that the closer to the river, the higher the ground?" The bend of this creek has been raised a lot by silting up over the years, so it is likely that if there are trees here, they are probably buried in the ground. ”

Although what Han Peacock said was speculation, his water control magic clearly told him that what he said was true, and there were many trees buried under their feet.

Although it is not certain that these are agarwood trees, it is true that there are trees, and combined with the characteristics of the land above the agarwood, the possibility of having agarwood below is even greater.

Han Peacock speculated that the trees in the bend of this small river were not buried in the ground in a year or two, but after countless years, the scene here was formed.

Perhaps, every year in the rainy season, when there is a flash flood on the mountain, it washes this place once, and finally after countless washes, the current situation is formed.

If Han Peacock didn't come here, the one hundred and ten agarwood trees that Han Peacock and they saw now might have been buried under the silt just when the next flood peak arrived.

The small swamp not far away is the best evidence, that swamp should be formed by the impact of this year's flash floods, if this is the case, this small river bend road, there must be a lot of wealth buried.

If the mud brought by the flood buries the agarwood tree underneath at one time, it may be possible to obtain some agarwood, but more than one washing will definitely make this agarwood forest buried in the ground produce more agarwood.

And now, what is the texture of the agarwood tree that has been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years?

After the death of the agarwood tree, buried in the water and soil, it absorbs the essence of the sun, the moon, water and the earth, and is conceived in spring, summer and autumn for hundreds of thousands of years.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, perceiving the distribution of agarwood below, imagining the possible output underground, even with Han Peacock's well-informed, there is a feeling of seeing money, if this place is really the same as he speculated, he is really going to make a fortune this time.

Han Peacock and Han Xing discussed it, and Han Peacock said his plan, so Han Xing no longer drooled over those dark lands, but set his eyes on those living agarwood trees. (To be continued......)
