Chapter 388: Bai Qi Nan (I)
With doubts, Chu Chen said hello to the stall owner, and began to carefully observe this piece of agarwood, according to the various characteristics of this thing in his hand, plus the spices he had been exposed to before, he immediately recognized that this thing was not agarwood at all, but Qi Nan, also known as Qi Nan.
To say that Qi Nan is indeed agarwood, many people think that Qi Nan is just an agarwood after reaching a certain amount of oil, but this is not the case. Strictly speaking, Qi Nan and Agarwood belong to two completely different substances. The oil components contained in each of them have not simply changed quantitatively, but have reached a qualitative change.
Compared with agarwood, the production of Qi Nan requires more time and coincidence, the so-called 100-year agarwood, 1000 years of Qi Nan. There are many different theories about the formation of Qi Nan. Some people believe that Qi Nan is produced after the "agarwood" has undergone various changes after being injured many times and repeatedly injured in the production process.
Some people also believe that the agarwood tree is stimulated by different insects, ants, and beehives at the same time during the incense-making process, resulting in chemical changes in special smells. There are also people who believe that Qi Nan is the product of "dead sinking" after long-term mellowing and deterioration in the soil under special conditions.
However, in any case, Qi Nan is the best of the best agarwood, it does not need to be burned itself has a clear fragrance, the fragrance is more prominent than agarwood, and the medicinal properties are also more warm. In ancient China, the emperor's bed must have three spices, namely musk, dragon incense and Qi Nan incense, which can also be seen from the precious Cheng dΓΉ of Qi Nan.
Agarwood was needed in the incense candle recipe that Chu Chen got before, and it was also noted that Qi Nan was better, so he had seen Qi Nan in the company. And I have smelled the fragrance of Qi Nan, and the one in the company is already the top Yingge green in Qi Nan in the market. But the fragrance is two points worse than this piece of Qi Nan, which makes him feel incredible when he thinks about it.
But since it's better than Yingge Green. Then Chu Chen also knew what kind of chess Nan was this thing in his hand.
The stall owner waited until Chu Chen withdrew his gaze, and then asked, "Little brother, how is it, do you want this agarwood of mine?" β
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, please ask the boss to give a price!" β
The stall owner said with a sly look: "Little brother, I guess you also smelled the smell of my piece of agarwood just now, and I won't say much, two hundred yuan a gram, and my piece of agarwood is a little more than two kilograms." Even if I count you 400,000, I won't count a fraction, how about it? β
Hearing the stall owner's offer, Chu Chen couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this stall owner must have thought that this thing was agarwood, although this is indeed the price of low-grade Qi Nan, but if the stall owner thinks that this is Qi Nan, the price will definitely be more than that.
In fact, the stall owner thinks that it is normal to be agarwood, it is so big. It's unbelievable that the quality of agarwood is so good, not to mention the more precious Qi Nan than agarwood? Not to mention the stall owner, if Chu Chen couldn't identify it, he wouldn't believe that Qi Nan would have such a big piece at all.
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Boss." Your price is a bit unkind, I admit that your piece of agarwood is really good, but you have to know. On the Sino-Vietnamese border, ordinary agarwood costs less than six yuan a gram. You can't be more than thirty times high in this piece of agarwood, right? β
The stall owner scratched his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that the little brother is still a person in the industry." Okay, you give a price! β
"Sixty dollars a gram, how about it?"
"No, no, no!" The stall owner said excitedly: "Sixty is not good, at least one hundred and two!" β
"Eighty!"
"One hundred!"
"Let's take a step back, ninety dollars a gram, how about it?"
The stall owner thought for a while and said: "Ninety yuan is fine, but you can't wipe the fraction, my piece of agarwood has a total of 2,045 grams, you give me 184,000, I don't believe you can weigh it!" β
"Okay!"
Chu Chen responded, and then really took out a portable electronic scale from his bag, and the electronic scale actually had its own calculator, and everyone else who looked at it was a little dumbfounded.
After confirming that the weight was correct, Chu Chen said to the stall owner: "Boss, I have cash, but is it convenient to pay here?" β
Before, because he needed to buy wool, Chu Chen had enough cash in his bag and paid for the things just now, and the rest was enough to pay for these spices.
After all, the ghost market is a place with mixed personnel, and Chu Chen is not afraid to take out so much money at one time, but the stall owner does not have the strength of Chu Chen. So the stall owner got Chu Chen's reminder, so he simply packed up his things, closed and finished work, with so much money, he was ready to open an antique shop, and he would definitely not come to the ghost market to set up a stall in the future.
Next, the group found a breakfast shop and completed the transaction, and then the stall owner left happily.
"Brother, this thing shouldn't be agarwood, the fragrance of agarwood, but it's far worse than this thing!" After the stall owner left, Chu Yulan hurriedly asked with curiosity on her face.
Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "This is indeed not agarwood, but Qi Nan!" β
"That's right!" Chu Yulan said suddenly: "I almost forgot about JΓ¬ and Qi Nan, but I really didn't expect that Qi Nan would be so fragrant than agarwood!" β
Wild agarwood trees are usually blown off by strong winds or injured by animals or injured by lightning, and only after being injured by lightning will agarwood be produced at the wound, and among the 10,000 agarwood trees, a Qi Nan tree can be discovered.
In addition, Xiangdao is not valued by others now, so it is not surprising that Chu Yulan has not smelled the smell of Qi Nan.
Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Of course, it is impossible for ordinary Qi Nan to have such a fragrance, this is actually the top kind of Qi Nan, Bai Qi Nan." β
It is generally believed that white chess may refer to the green chess that is knotted, that is, the raw wood chess that contains the oil of green chess. Its texture is very soft, its aroma is incomparable, and it has a long-lasting fragrance, of course, Qi Nan is already very rare, let alone Bai Qi Nan.
Chu Yulan was stunned and said, "Brother, do you mean that this thing is the kind of Bai Qi Nan that I have only heard of, and few people have seen it?" β
After Chu Chen nodded to confirm, she still couldn't believe it and said, "Since it's such a precious thing, how can it be so big!" β
Chu Chen spread his hands and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have such a big white chess nan, it will take at least thousands of years, or even ten thousand years, and it will only be able to grow by chance, and this white chess nan doesn't know where that person got it!" β
Hu Yong heard that the wooden stake in front of him was not very big, and it would take thousands of years to grow, and his face couldn't help but show a look of surprise, but it was not for nothing that there were thousands of years of trees, and the key was to see how valuable it was, so he asked: "Chu Shao, how much can this thing be worth?" β
Chu Chen pondered for a while, and replied: "I really haven't seen this thing sold anywhere, but it has to be at least 20,000 yuan a gram, anyway, if someone sells this kind of thing for 20,000 grams, I will definitely buy it." β
In fact, Chu Chen still doesn't know much about the market of agarwood, with the quality of Bai Qi Nan in his hand, it is not possible to buy a gram for 20,000 yuan, but he has no intention of selling such a rare thing, so he will not suffer any loss.
Hu Yong's mouth opened wide, he didn't know what to say, such a stump in his eyes was actually worth more than 40 million, and the purchase price was only more than 180,000, this is simply an empty glove white wolf! But thinking about Chu Chen's gambling stone again, he gradually became numb.
This Chu Shao is a demon, and he can't look at it from the eyes of ordinary people at all!
After a while, everyone else gathered, and as soon as Liu Sizhe walked in from outside, he said with a disappointed face:
"The ghost market here is really boring, except for jadeite is jade, I originally wanted to buy a few antiques, but I couldn't find it!"
Others also expressed their disappointment, Wan Qijun said with a smile: "Every place has its own characteristics, if you hadn't participated in this public market and seen countless high-end jadeite, you wouldn't think the ghost market was as boring as it is now." β
When you think about it, it's really true, the quality of those jadeite products is poor, but compared to the store, it is still much cheaper, and it is not bad to use it as a souvenir, just like they met a few tourists before, and they bought it very happily.
"By the way, Brother Chen, it seems that you have gained a lot from your appearance, right?" Liu Sizhe saw the things in Chu Chen's hand and asked with interest.
There is no private room in the breakfast shop, and now there are more people coming in, there are many people, and it is not suitable to take things out, otherwise it will attract the attention of people who are interested, although Chu Chen is not afraid, but more is better than less, so he said:
"The harvest is indeed okay, but now there are more people, let's talk about this later, do you want to eat something and go back?"
Breakfast only lasted more than an hour, and everyone said that they were not hungry, so the group went directly back to the hotel.
On the way, the others heard that such a large piece of things in Chu Chen's hand would actually be Bai Qinan, not to mention how shocked their expressions were, if it weren't for the inconvenience outside, Dong Fat wanted to open the plastic bag immediately and take a look.
Seeing Dong Fatzi's impatient appearance, Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "I said fatty, it's not that your family doesn't have Qi Nan, although Brother Chen's piece is indeed a little bigger, but you won't be so anxious, right?" β
"Brother Liu, you don't understand!" Dong Fatzi shook his head again and again and said: "You must know that it is difficult to buy the top wild chess nan now, especially the top white chess nan, and it is such a large piece of white chess nan, it will scare people to death when you say it!" β
"There are so many precious things, I haven't seen you so excited, and I remember that you don't seem to play chess!" Liu Sizhe also knows the preciousness of Qi Nan, but Dong Fatzi's kind of appearance still makes him feel very strange. (To be continued......)
