It turns out that this kind of briar pipe is very rare in its material, and Ao Kun has a crush on this pipe for more than 300 years, which is extremely rare to see on the market, and it is definitely the best in the pipe, only a few are stored in the hands of some pipe lovers, which is extremely precious, which is why the owner is reluctant to sell.

This kind of briar pipe is precious, because only the root nodules of the briar that have grown for many years are suitable for making pipes, it is first of all to dig out the root nodules of the tree with a root age of more than ten years from the ground, the higher the age of the nodules, the better the wood, the more beautiful the wood grain, and the more expensive the price.

And the dug roots have to be strictly cleaned and screened, leaving only those without cracks and flaws, and then the heather roots are cut into brick-like squares, buried in the soil for three months before they can be taken out and cut into pipe-shaped, and then "boiled" in water for 12 hours, and finally dried in the pergola for half a year.

These strict processes make the heather root wear rate quite high, after the root nodules are cut into pipe blanks, they also have to be selected according to the wood grain pattern and quality, the pattern is complete and beautiful, and the texture is uniform and plump, which is used to make expensive pipes, while the rest can only be made into ordinary pipes.

Ao Kun clearly remembers that the collector took out the pipe, pointed to the pattern on the pipe and said to him: "Only the old briar root nodules can make such a beautiful pipe." You look at the pattern and the color on it, and it takes only three hundred years of nodules to form such a tight wood and such a dark brown color."

The collector stared at the pipe in his hand, his eyes were full of affection, and continued: "If you look closely, you will see that there are many tiny holes distributed between its patterns, so it looks hard wood, but because the old roots are dense and porous, its weight is very light, and the burden on the mouth is small, the heat resistance and heat dissipation will naturally be better, and in the process of smoking, it can also make the flavor of tobacco that pays attention to low temperature burning better."

The collector looked up at Ao Kun and listened intoxicated, smiled and continued: "Heather nodules do not have growth rings, but can only know its age from the wood grain, because the soil in which the heather tree grows is very poor, and the heather pipe is famous all over the world, and it has been cut down a lot of people in the past hundred years, and the raw materials have been extremely scarce."

"A 5 to 10 pound heather nodule takes 30 years or more to grow, and a nodule that size can make about six pipes. At the beginning of the 20th century, 350-year-old nodules can also be found. Today, the rarest heather pipes in the world are only 100 years old, and even 50 to 75-year-old heather pipes are treasured. And this pipe is made from nodules that are more than 300 years old, and it can be said that it is extremely rare to see in the world. That's why I've been reluctant to cede this pipe to you."

After introducing the preciousness of the pipe, the collector stood up apologetically and said to Ao Kun: "I'm really sorry, sir, I can only let you go home empty-handed."

Ao Kun visited the thatched cottage several times, which made the collector very moved, and it was indeed a great honor for his collection to be so valued by outsiders. He was really moved by Ao Kun's sincerity, but he was really reluctant to give away his treasures.

It was only at this time that Ao Kun understood the preciousness of this pipe, and it was no wonder that people would reject him several times. His eyes stared at the precious pipe on the table, the pipe lay quietly on the table, still exuding elegance and nobility, and the dark brown bucket body exuded a faint glow, and the four tigers were telling him what to do.

Ao Kun stared for a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, he got up and stared at the collector and said, "I won't tell you anything, I really like this pipe, otherwise I wouldn't have visited you again and again." Of course, if I get this pipe, I will cherish it, please believe it. In this way, I will give you a blank check, fill in the amount yourself, and I will take this pipe! ”

As he spoke, he took out a blank check from his check-box, bent down to sign it, and pushed it in front of the collector. The collector was stunned, he told the other party for so long, just to make the other party retreat, but he didn't expect the other party to take out a blank check so generously, which made him overwhelmed.

He looked at Ao Kun quietly for a while, nodded and said: "For your sincerity, I won't make a price, and you can fill in the amount of the check yourself, because I see that you really like it, and you will definitely cherish it even more." I will transfer to you as much as you fill in, even one pound sterling, I will transfer it to you", he was deeply moved by Ao Kun's sincerity.

Ao Kun didn't say a word, just sat down and filled in the figure of one million pounds, picked up his pipe, bowed to the collector, turned around and walked out. The collector glanced down at the cheque on the table, and was immediately stunned by the long number on the cheque, he did not expect that an Oriental man with an unassuming appearance would actually make such a big deal of money for this pipe.

Although this pipe is very valuable, it is rarely seen in the world, and no one knows its true value, but it is staggering to say that this pipe is worth millions of pounds. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him sold a million pounds, which was indeed a surprise and surprise for this collector.

Since then, Ao Kun has collected many world-famous pipes, but he has never found a pipe that can compare to this expensive pipe, and at the same time, he has never found a pipe that can only make his mind feel it. For this reason, Ao Kun usually cherishes this pipe very much, and always carries it with him, but rarely uses it, only occasionally takes it out to play with it, and usually uses other pipes for smoking.

In the depths of his heart, he has always believed that this precious pipe is his lucky charm, and he believes that this pipe, which can only resonate with him, will definitely bring him luck. Therefore, he only deliberately took it out and smoked a few bags when he encountered a big event.

Strange to say, after he encountered a thorny problem and took out his pipe and smoked a few pots, he did turn evil into good fortune and get through the difficulties. For more than 20 years, this precious pipe has been by his side, and it has indeed accompanied Ao Kun to usher in the glory of his drug career, and finally witnessed him become a world-famous drug lord in charge. In Ao Kun's eyes, this pipe is his lucky pipe!

Today, in the middle of the night, when the gunshots rang out, he deliberately took out this precious lucky pipe, but he didn't expect the hard pipe to crack under his rage! In his heart, this is not a pipe shattering, this is his luck shattering, this is his dream shattering!

Ao Kun's eyes were firmly fixed on the broken pipe on the coffee table, the originally powerful heart suddenly jumped violently, his face turned white, his body shook violently, and slowly slumped on the rattan chair behind him.
