Chapter 5: Qi Nan!
This is the charm and risk of gambling wood, willing to gamble and lose, all by eyesight!
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is rare to have so many good materials in Nha Trang today, don't miss it when you pass by!"
The thin man had just made a big deal, and shouted excitedly: "Today's big reward, all wood is 10% off!"
One sentence attracted a lot of people, and they walked up to see the wood, and the stalls became lively in an instant. Wen Yiming was also mixed in the crowd, carefully distinguishing various aromas, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Boss, how much is that?"
The thin man looked up and saw Wen Yiming, who was full of student anger, looked at his fingers, and frowned: "That root?"
Sure enough, there were several strange-shaped pieces of wood in the far corner of a pile of wood, which should be the root of the agarwood tree, large and small, covered with mud, and thrown on the ground in a mess.
"That's a good thing, little brother should like it, a thousand!"
The thin man squeezed out a smile, although the guy in front of him looked like a student, but after all, he was a guest at the door, and said casually: "This batch is all old Nha Trang materials, and the roots have the strongest taste, if you come out ......"
"Don't ...... Don't!"
Wen Yiming hurriedly waved his hand, interrupted the thin man's words, deliberately scratched his head, and pretended to be embarrassed: "Boss, I don't understand agarwood, I just have nothing to do to go to the market today, I usually like root carving, and the first time I saw agarwood, I want to find a piece to study." ”
After speaking, he took out his wallet, opened it and opened it with only three hundred yuan, took it all out and handed it to the thin man, and said, "Poor student, only three hundred!"
"Come on, I'm happy today, it's a friend!"
The thin man stood up, took three hundred pieces, pointed to the root of the tree and said, "You go and pick one yourself, it's too big!"
Wen Yiming nodded, walked to the corner, picked up a small piece of the most inconspicuous tree root, handed it to the thin man, and said, "Just this little one, you check it!"
The thin man was in a good mood, so he glanced at it casually and said magnificently: "Okay, take it away!"
Looking at Wen Yiming's back, he smiled and said: "Stupid scholar!
"It's really good luck today, opening the door is a big deal, and now even the roots used for stepping feet are grabbed?" Thinking of this, the thin man was even more proud, looking at the others and said loudly: "Pick and choose at will, ensure the old material, Tong Su is not bullied!"
Wen Yiming held back his excitement, quickly left the market, walked to a place where no one was, carefully picked up the roots of the tree, and said excitedly: "Baby, this is the real baby!"
Wen Yiming was like a treasure, holding the roots of the tree with both hands, and gently brushing away the soil with his hands, there was actually a hidden hole. It's dark inside, what's the East XC in it?
Leaning in front of the nose and taking a deep breath, a cool breath goes straight to the brain along the nasal cavity, overflowing with fragrance, refreshing the mind, and clearing the brain.
Then the fragrance turns, into an elegant medicinal fragrance, with a light bitter taste, a long aftertaste, smell a deep breath, a slight sweetness stimulates the taste buds, full of relish, as if drinking fairy water, the whole body is refreshed.
Before he could finish enjoying it, the aroma changed again, and the thick frankincense exploded in his nose, silky and smooth, as if he was making a milk SPA for his nasal cavity!
"The first fragrance is cool, the fragrance is fragrant, the tail fragrance is frankincense, one wood and three changes, it is worthy of Qi Nan!"
"I'm glad I met this nose, otherwise who would have thought that a rotten tree root would actually hide Nha Trang Hei Qi Nan?"
The so-called Qi Nan is also one of the agarwood, that is, Ganan incense, the Qing Dynasty Cha Shen Xing's poem "Learning from Chen Zhangpu Xin" poem: "The mountain rents and loses the seashell, and the city is cheap Canaan." ”
In ancient times, it was called agar, which was softer than agarwood. Usually in a large piece of the best Shen Spice Seeds, only a very small part can be regarded as Qi Nan, which is extremely precious, and can be described as one or two worth a thousand gold!
This piece of Qi Nan is also lucky, just met Wen Yiming, otherwise I don't know when I will see the light of day again, maybe it will be used as dry firewood and burned!
Not all agarwood smells change, only Qi Nan has the characteristics, agarwood is divided into three stages, the first incense, the original incense, and finally the tail incense. Ordinary people can only smell the first fragrance at room temperature, which is very light, and the back needs to be heated at high temperature to experience it with heart, and the process of tasting the aroma is incense.
Wen Yiming took a taxi home directly, first slowly wiped the soil with clean water, and then picked up a knife and cut the roots of the tree little by little, for him, Qi Nan's location was already clear through his sense of smell.
"Haha, it's really Hei Qinan!"
Looking at the egg-sized wood in the palm of his hand, the color is dark, and there is a trace of strange texture when you look closely, the whole piece of agarwood is completely wrapped by the oil thread, which is worthy of the best Qi Nan incense in Nha Trang!
"Huh, is this an ant drain!"
Wen Yiming took a deep breath again, more intuitively experienced the mysterious and alluring aroma of Qi Nan, and his expression was shocked, as if he had discovered something?
"I see, I said why is it fragrant at the root of the tree, the magic of nature!"
Wen Yiming couldn't put it down and played with Qi Nan, kept enjoying the wonderful smell, and was satisfied after a while, the time was already noon, I had a casual meal, and went out again in the afternoon, going straight to the antique city in the city center.
"This is it, a street of cultural play!"
There is a street next to the antique city, and on both sides are large and small shops, a gathering place for high-end cultural toys. Entry-level players like to go to the Chenzhai Market, which is full of stalls and is very cheap. Veteran players generally come here to pick out the high-quality products, and of course, the price is much higher.
Wen Yiming watched as he walked, the purpose was very simple, to shoot Hei Qi Nan! What he needed most now was real money, otherwise he would be hungry, and he wouldn't be able to eat Qi Nan with his arms. Rather than this, it is better to make a move as soon as possible, accumulate the first pot of gold and continue to pick up leaks.
In the face of thirty or forty shops on both sides of the street, ordinary people must be picky, but they can smell a difference, follow the smell and walk again, although passing by a few agarwood shops, they can smell and know that the grade is not high, and they can't eat the top goods like Qi Nan.
"Yaxiangju?"
Finally, I looked at the antique three-story building in front of me, and the gold-lettered signboard wrote three words, Yaxiangju. Nodding, the whole street is the most fragrant, it must be good.
Wen Yiming pushed the door in, the hall of nearly 100 square meters was magnificent, and the glass cabinets on both sides displayed a lot of agarwood, and all kinds of fragrances almost drowned him like a tide.
"Sir?"
Wen Yiming quickly came back to his senses, looked at the beautiful shopping guide in front of him, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"
Xie Hong was stunned for a moment, looking at this strange guest curiously, dressed plainly, with a somewhat immature face, and looking at the age, he was a college student. He smiled and asked, "Hello sir, is there anything you need?"
Wen Yiming smiled and asked politely, "Do you buy agarwood here?"
"Of course!" Xie Hong smiled slightly and explained: "Our Yaxiangju is the most powerful merchant in the local area, so we naturally buy good agarwood, do you have agarwood?"
"Well, a piece of Nha Trang Qinan, I don't know if you can eat it?"
"Qi Nanxiang?"
Xie Hongyi frowned, and said quietly: "Do you think this is good?" Please move to the second floor, I will ask a professional appraiser to take a look, if it is really Qi Nan, the price is not a problem." ”
"Okay!" Wen Yiming nodded, he was impressed by this store, the shopping guide was polite and courteous, and he was not surprised to hear Qi Nan, it seems that his strength is profound, and he is looking for the right person.
