Chapter 387: Agarwood

The stall owner gave Chu Chen a thumbs up with a smile and said, "Brother, you really have good eyesight, this set of books is a treasure!" It was I who finally received it from a scholarly family, and when I opened the business, I will say an auspicious number, 80,000, how about it? ”

"Eighty thousand?"

Before Chu Chen could speak, Chu Yulan next to him was stunned and said, "Boss, are you trying to rob money, such a new set of books actually costs 80,000 yuan?" ”

The stall owner smiled and said: "Girl, you don't understand, this set of books is from the Ming Dynasty, you calculate, how many years have been in the Ming Dynasty to now, it is still 80,000 yuan!" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Boss, since you say so, then I am a little puzzled, just like you said, the Ming Dynasty has been hundreds of years now, why are things still so new?" ”

"Hehe, there are also good ones for safekeeping, you can't generalize."

"Anyway, 80,000 yuan is too expensive for this set of books, so at this price, you might as well sell it to someone else!"

"Little brother, then what price do you want, if it is suitable, then it will be given to you!"

"I think a thousand is good." Chu Chen said.

When the stall owner heard this, he immediately said with a very exaggerated expression: "Hey, little brother, this price is a bit outrageous, you won't be teasing me!" ”

Chu Chen shook his head, didn't say anything, just turned his head and left, this stall owner definitely didn't think that this book was the original version of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have been able to offer a price of 80,000 at all, so he was completely sure that this stall owner would stop him.

"Hey, little brother, nine thousand. Nine thousand, I'm greedy for the night. You've got to make me some hard money! ”

"Six thousand eight, do you like to sell or not!"

"Gotta get it! Open business today. I'll give it to you! Saying that, the stall owner also showed a very distressed look, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, three hundred yuan of things, changed hands and earned more than 20 times, this money-making speed, it is also a gamble stone can be compared!

After the money and goods were clear, Chu Chen took the six books and left, walking for a distance. Chu Yulan opened her mouth and asked:

"Brother, this book is so new, at most it should be from the Republic of China, will six thousand eight be a little expensive?" In other words, she is not optimistic about this set of things.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "I don't know how the previous master preserved it, but this is indeed a set of original books from the Ming Dynasty, although it looks quite new, but this paper and the old color on the paper, in addition to this ink." But it's not something that can be done by being a fake. ”

"Ahh Chu Yulan said with a surprised face: "Is it really from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise why should I buy it, wait a while to get to the bright spot, you should know it at a glance." ”

"And how much is this set of books worth?"

"150,000 or 60,000!"

Listened to Chu Chen give the price. Hu Yong and the female bodyguard, who were following behind the two, couldn't help but be speechless for a while, so they didn't talk about this gambling stone. How to buy a few books, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars with one turn. This Chu Shao is inevitably too good at making money! ……

After all, this is Ping Chau, and I visited a few stalls next. It's either jade or jadeite rough, and the quality is not very good, Chu Yulan yawned boredly.

After walking for a while, we finally saw a more interesting stall, although the stalls are also full of stones, but they are some unique stones, everyone took a closer look, only to know that the original here is selling strange stones.

The shape of these stones is strange, at first glance, it really doesn't necessarily mean what the stone looks like, only when you see the nameplate under the stone, you think about it, you will find that there is a little meaning.

There are also many kinds of stones here, like what flesh-shaped stones, Qingtian stone and Tian Huangshi, of course, the latter two are definitely not true, but similar, if it is really Qingtian or Tian Huangshi, the stall owner will definitely not be placed here.

However, there are not only strange stones here, but there are also some rough stones for sale, but what is sold here is not a jade rough, but a rough stone of chicken bloodstone, and these chicken blood rough stones look like they are all chicken blood rough stones mined from the old pit.

The old pit chicken blood rough stone mentioned here refers to the Changhua chicken blood stone.

Changhua bloodstone is divided into old pits and new pits. The central area east of Kangshan Ridge, west of Walnut Ridge and Yuyan Mountain in the area of Hongtongyan are old pits. The area from the west of Kangshan Ridge to Greystone Ridge is a new pit.

The bloodstone of the old pit is vivid, the texture is moist and transparent, delicate and oily, and the color of the new pit is not bright enough, but one thing to note is that the old pit and the new pit can not be generalized, there are old pits in the new pits, and there are new pits in the old pits. That being said, the old pit is always better than the new one.

Jadeite has gambling stones, and bloodstone also has gambling stones, especially now that the raw materials of bloodstone have decreased, making the bloodstone gambling stone has begun to become a trend.

However, unlike jadeite, bloodstone can judge the color and blood shape from the appearance, which is undoubtedly clearer than jadeite, as for the amount of bloodstone, it depends on luck, which is somewhat similar to jadeite gambling stone.

The more than 20 pieces of bloodstone in the old pit in front of me, the leather shell surface xiàn looks pretty good, so it is still quite concerning. Not long after Chu Chen and the others came, many people came forward to inquire about the price, but the price of these chicken blood rough stones was a bit expensive, and the stall owner still refused to let go, so that more people asked and fewer people bought it.

Chu Chen didn't have much research on bloodstones, so he simply used Baojue and screened those bloodstone rough stones, but what he didn't expect was that the quality of these bloodstone rough stones was really good, and the value of three bloodstones exceeded 100,000.

And what Chu Chen didn't expect was that after he used the ability of these three bloodstones, he made an amazing discovery.

"Boss, how do you sell these bloodstones?" Pressing the surprise in his heart, Chu Chen pointed to the three bloodstones and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner glanced up and said, "The one on the left is 15,000, the one on the right is 18,000, and the remaining one is 23,000, if you want it, I will count you as 55,000." ”

"Can't it be cheaper?" Chu Chen asked.

The stall owner said apologetically: "Little brother, these chicken blood rough stones were all borrowed from me by a friend of mine to resist me, so the price must not be cheaper, if it can be cheap, I will be cheap a long time ago." ”

Chu Chen felt that the stall owner was telling the truth, otherwise the price of something in the ghost market would be so dead, so he pondered for a while and responded to this price.

The three pieces of chicken blood rough stones are not too big, and they add up to only twenty or thirty kilograms, although these three pieces of chicken blood stones are carried by Hu Yong with the help of Hu Yong, and they look quite easy, but Chu Chen thought about it for a while, and he had to go back early.

However, just as Chu Chen was about to make a phone call, he saw a booth of stationery supplies not far away, and thinking that his father's stationery supplies were not yet complete, he decided to finish reading the stall.

Not to mention, there are really a few good things on this stall, but after asking the price, Chu Chen was a little speechless, the price was almost in the antique shop, so in the end, he only spent 5,000 yuan and chose a blue and white porcelain pen holder from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

After the money and goods were cleared, the stall owner suddenly asked: "Little brother, I still have a piece of good agarwood here, do you want it?" ”

Hearing that there was a good piece of agarwood, Chu Chen was also a little interested, so he nodded and responded: "Okay!" ”

Hearing this, the stall owner hurriedly took out a black thing that looked estimated to be about two kilograms and was packed in a transparent plastic bag from a bag next to him, which suddenly made Chu Chen a little speechless.

Agarwood, known as the "diamond in the plant", is through animal bites and external force wounds, as well as artificial cuts and snakes, insects and ants and other erosion, coupled with the external hot and humid environment, so that the wound corrosion is parasitized by fungi, under the action of the fungus, it slowly formed agarwood.

The growth period of natural agarwood and its long period generally take decades, and even hundreds or thousands of years to form. It can be said that it is a collection of the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and the precious treasures accumulated over the years.

Agarwood has a strong antibacterial effect, aroma into the spleen, clear the mind and regulate qi, replenish the five organs, cough and phlegm, warm the stomach and spleen, ventilation and pain, can enter the effect of medicine, according to historical records, in the Song Dynasty, the best agarwood is one or two agarwood and one or two gold; In the Ming Dynasty, it became an inch of agarwood and an inch of gold.

If it is really a high-grade agarwood, it is generally judged by grams, such a large piece in front of him, even if it is agarwood, Chu Chen thinks it will not be much better, and it is likely to be artificially cultivated.

When the stall owner saw Chu Chen's expression, he immediately guessed his thoughts, so he said with a smile: "Little brother, don't look at my piece of agarwood, but it's very fragrant, if you don't believe it, you open the plastic bag and smell it!" ”

Although Chu Chen didn't believe that this was a good agarwood, but after seeing it, let's just smell it, but what he didn't expect was that he only opened the seal of the plastic bag slightly, and an indescribable aroma came to his nose, and in an instant, the aroma penetrated into his heart and spleen, and the whole person's spirit was lifted.

Before Chu Chen could come back to his senses, Chu Yulan next to him came over and asked with curiosity on her face: "Brother, what does it smell, it smells so good!" ”

This made Chu Chen extremely surprised, he didn't expect to reveal such a little aroma, his sister, who was two or three meters away from him just now, actually smelled it, this is the best agarwood at all!

Seeing Chu Chen's expression, the stall owner said triumphantly: "How is it, my agarwood is good!" ”

Chu Chen nodded as he tightened the seal of the bag, he was also afraid that other people would be attracted by the fragrance when they smelled the fragrance, and it would inevitably cause some trouble. It's just that what makes him a little puzzled is that he hasn't smelled agarwood, but even the top of it is not so fragrant, such a unique fragrance! (To be continued......)
