Li Guang nodded, the other party is an expert, he has confidence in rhino horn, and he can sell it at a high price, but there are many musks, so he cautiously and tentatively: "500,000?"

Wen Yiming frowned, and said firmly: "Two hundred thousand, I will pay this price at most!"

"200,000?" Li Guang thought for a while, and said deliberately: "Okay, Mr. is a friend of Yan Lao, and he is also a cheerful person, we will cooperate for a long time in the future, and 200,000 transactions!"

Wen Yiming nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, I will contact you often in the future, and remember to find me if you have good things." ”

The two sides completed the transaction, they were all happy, Li Guang left quickly, Yan Sihai poured a full tea for Wen Yiming, and puzzled: "Why doesn't Mr. stop lowering the price? Although rhino horn is rare, six million can definitely be cheaper." ”

"Since it is a friend introduced by Yan Lao, the first transaction should naturally be refreshing!" Wen Yiming tasted tea and said easily: "Make a good impression, and have the opportunity to cooperate for a long time in the future, this money is worth it." ”

After speaking, he picked up a piece of musk in the middle and displayed: "The use of musk has a long history, and the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu met in the poem "Lilac": falling into the blue musk deer at night. Ancient literati and painters all added a little musk to the high-quality musk to make 'musk ink' to write and paint, the fragrance is quiet, if the calligraphy and painting are sealed, it can be stored for a long time, anti-corrosion and moth-proof. ”

"In the ancient book "Introduction to Medicine", it talks about musk: clear the customs and reach the muscles. Inside the bone marrow. "Compendium of Materia Medica" cloud: Cover musk to run, can pass through the disadvantages of the tricks, and open the meridians. The meaning is that musk can quickly enter the muscles and bone marrow, and can give full play to the medicinal properties. ”

"Musk deer produce the most incense after the age of 3, and the peak period of incense secretion is August ~ September every year, and there is less incense secretion from October to February of the following year. There are two kinds of incense: hunting musk deer and live musk deer. ”

"Hunting musk deer for incense is to catch the wild adult male musk deer, the glandular sac is cut off with the skin, the hair is cut short, the shade is dry, it is commonly called the shell musk or hair fragrance, the sachet is opened, the sac shell is removed, and the musk kernel is called. ”

"The live musk musk musk is carried out under the conditions of artificial breeding, and now the rapid incense method is adopted, that is, the musk deer is directly fixed on the leg of the musk grabber, the hair covered with the mouth of the musk deer is slightly cut off, the alcohol is disinfected, and the spoon is stretched into the bag and slowly rotated, and then it is pulled out to dig out the musk. ”

Yan Sihai listened curiously, interlaced like a mountain, he was very curious about the incense, especially after tasting the meditation incense, he was simply shocked.

Wen Yiming gently stroked the musk with his hand and introduced: "Although the musk is condensed and firm, it is elastic. When identifying the appearance, take a little musk kernel, put it in the palm of the hand and rub it with your fingers, do not decolorize, rub it into a ball, knead it to disperse, do not stick to your hands, and emit a strong aroma is better. ”

"In perfumery, if animal fragrances such as musk are missing, the aroma lacks dynamic emotion. Only when animal fragrances are applied to flavors and other formulations can they play a role in fixing, accentuating, rounding and balancing the whole aroma, bringing vitality to the whole aroma and endowing it with touching emotions. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Yiming smiled slightly: "Elder Yan doesn't know, this transaction seems to be a loss for Wen, but it's not!"

Yan Sihai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Oh?

"With ambergris, there are three levels of flooding, sand seepage, and fish food, and musk is the same, and there are also three grades. ”

Wen Yiming picked up the musk in his hand and introduced: "The third-class musk is the incense of the heart, the musk deer was chased and killed, frightened, ran wildly on the top of the mountain, and was killed in a panic. The hunter opens the ventricles and takes out the incense that has congealed in the blood flow, which is the incense of the heart. ”

"This kind of incense is relatively dry, fishy, it is the lowest grade, and the effect of the incense is poor. ”

"The second-class musk is the navel incense, which is naturally secreted when the musk deer is alive, and the incense is in the navel part, and its fragrance is leisurely, the fishy smell is light, and the fragrance effect is good. ”

"As for these two pieces of musk, they are the real best!"

Wen Yiming picked up two pieces of musk, put them to his nose, took a deep breath, and enjoyed: "This is raw incense, also called residual incense, which is the incense that the musk deer digs out with its paws." It is rumored that the place where this incense gathers is surrounded by vigorous vegetation and vitality, which is very magical. ”

Yan Sihai took a piece, sniffed it, and said in surprise: "It's really extraordinary, there is no trace of fishiness, it is elegant and natural, and it is refreshing." ”

Wen Yiming pinched a very small piece, put it in his mouth and said: "The real top grade has the feeling of drilling the tongue, when you taste the musk, the taste is bitter first, then sweet, and there is a pungent feeling." ”

"There is a silver skin inside, and the middle membrane inside the sachet is silvery-white and transparent. The inner membrane of musk is oily, brownish-red, oily. The jargon is called red and silver two heavens!"

As soon as the day dawned, the hunter got up early, lit the pine branches and used the smoke to drive away the evil spirits on his body, and then took up his gun, carried the basket on his back, and led the hound into the mountain. ”

"Due to the pursuit of humans for thousands of years, the musk deer is very afraid of people, and people cannot get close to it at all, so the musk deer is known as the least daring and lonely animal. It is like a fawn and like a sheep, and the only way to defend itself against the enemy is to run away, so its resting posture is the posture of preparing to escape. ”

"The only clue to look for is its droppings, and the musk deer only excretes in the same place, never changing places, so if you find the droppings, you can wait for the rabbits. The musk deer has a strong temperament, would rather die than give in, and when he falls into a desperate situation, he generally throws himself into a rock and dies, and his limbs are curled up in his navel when he is dying, in order to protect Yukami. ”

Wen Yiming sighed: "I think of Li Shangyin's famous sentence: Shang Yu is in the morning rain, and there is autumn light on the way back." The back dock ape harvests the fruit, and the rock musk deer returns the fragrance. ”

"I see!" Yan Sihai nodded and said, "Listening to what Mr. said, it was really an eye-opener!"

Yan Sihai filled Wen Yiming with tea again, and said with a smile: "So Lao Li seems to be shrewd, but in fact he is a treasure? Haha, he is pretentious in vain, and when he meets a master like Mr., he is still deflated!"

The two laughed, Yan Sihai had a general relationship with Li Guang, if it weren't for Wen Yiming's search for rhino horns, he wouldn't have had a deep relationship with that kind of speculative businessman at all. But today's goal is achieved, introduce them to each other, the favor falls, and the two sides can contact each other in the future.

"By the way, is Mr. free on the weekend? Last time in Hu Yuan, we had a very good conversation, and I want to invite everyone to Sihailou to get together, I wonder if Mr. can appreciate his face?"

Wen Yiming raised the teacup and said politely: "Yan Lao is naturally happy to invite Wen Mou, since I have tasted your good tea here, the others are light and tasteless, what do you say?"

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Yan Sihai laughed heartily and said happily: "Mr. likes it is an old honor, what do you like, even if you say it, if you want to say that yellow and white things are naturally not as good as Hu Jianmin and Ling Tiancheng, but if you want to talk about tea, then Yan will not let it!"

The two talked happily, chatted for an afternoon before leaving, Wen Yiming and Yan Sihai knew a lot of tea ceremony experience, how could they return empty-handed when they entered Baoshan?

At the weekend party, Yan Sihai informed Hu Jianmin and Ling Tiancheng that they were all in the Central Plains, with comparable identities and similar interests, and with Wen Yiming as the central hub, the relationship naturally became closer and closer.
