A treasure-appraisal maniac

Lu Fei said as he lit up a cigarette, took two puffs, and inserted the filter tip into the mouth of the largest Jade Toad.

People were surprised to find that the cigarette burned quickly without any smoke rising.

Two seconds later, a magical scene happened. Two small jade toads, who were about to dive, slowly ejected two plumes of smoke from their mouths, and all of them hit the lotus pond.

Not to mention, the smoke slowly rotated in the lotus pond, and the mist lingered for a long time, just like Penglai Wonderland.

Against the background of the smoke, the light blue lotus leaves turned into a light emerald green.

What's even more special is that the visual illusion caused by the slowly rotating smoke gives people the feeling that the dragonfly falling on the lotus leaf seems to come alive, as if its wings are flapping gently. .??.

"Is this... reflux incense?"

Someone in the audience exclaimed, and others immediately understood.

This seems to be a jade toad for collecting wealth, but I didn't expect it to be a reverse flow incense burner. This is so amazing.

Backflow incense burners were introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty and became extremely popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Because the smoke flows back and lingers for a long time when burning, it gives people the illusion of being in a fairyland. It is also a powerful tool for wealthy bosses in today's society, and these bosses are all familiar with it.

The principle of this thing is very simple. When the incense burns, it takes a cone shape. The density of the smoke produced is greater than the density of the air, which will produce a backflow effect.

But the process of circulating it through an animal's body is much more complicated.

Apart from anything else, creating a flue inside an object without affecting its basic shape is a troublesome technology.

Therefore, in ancient times, the materials people chose to make backflow incense burners were generally wood or purple sand.

Fortunately for purple sand, a flue can be reserved during the production process, but for wooden materials, it all depends on the skill of the craftsman.

During the Qing Dynasty, it usually took half a year for the manufacturing office to make a wooden backflow incense burner.

The material of this backflow incense burner is

Tian Qingyu is a hundred times harder than wood. It is all made by hand. It may not take three to five years to make it, which shows how precious this reverse flow incense burner is.

However, this is just the material, and the real value is far more than that.

Lu Fei dragged the incense burner and said to Du Qifeng.

"To Qifeng, do you know why this reverse flow incense burner is designed like this?"

"Haha, you idiot, you don't know even if you think about it, but it doesn't matter, I can tell you for free."

"The lotus pond is green, the word "dragonfly" is homophonic to "qing", and the word "Lotus" is taken from the word "Lotus Leaf".

"Together, this is called the Three Toads Gathering Wealth and Bihe Qingtian Bureau. It is the supreme Feng Shui treasure bureau for attracting wealth."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can find someone who understands to find out."

"Now that your Du family has pushed this supreme financial situation to the outside, it will be impossible for your family not to be unlucky."

Lu Fei said and turned the reverse flow incense burner upside down. There was an inscribed seal mark on the bottom, and the two words "Zixian" were written on it.

Pointing to the seal characters, Lu Fei said.

"Do you recognize these two characters? Let me tell you, these two characters are called Zixian."

"Zixian is the name of Huo Chenggang. Huo Chenggang was a famous backflow incense burner craftsman in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. He lived to be 103 years old."

"It's this centenarian who spent his whole life making five reverse-flow incense burners."

"Including this one, there are only three in existence."

"One of them is kept in the National Museum of China. It was a trophy that was plundered in the Old Summer Palace."

"The other Xianglong Turui backflow incense burner is made of Lantian jade, which is much worse than the material of Hetian Qingyu."

“Even so, Christie’s autumn auction in Shangdu in 2005

It sold for a sky-high price of 133 million, and was acquired by Matsui Yamashita, a rich man from the island country. "

"So far, there is no one in the whole of China. Am I saying it is a priceless treasure too much?"

"It was your Du family's blessing to obtain such a priceless treasure of 150,000 yuan, but it's a pity that you pushed it away as rubbish."

"The luck of China has been passed down for five thousand years. This is the fate. Your Du family's luck will be exhausted."

"So I would like to advise you, you should eat and cook. There is really not much time left for you."

After hearing Lu Fei's detailed explanation, everyone in the audience stood up collectively, and countless rays of greedy green light hit the backflow incense burner in Lu Fei's hand.

OMG!

The blue field jade that the islanders took was worth 130 million, so how much is the hotan green jade worth?

Well, raising money is too tacky.

This supreme Feng Shui treasure bureau alone is enough to make these bosses drool with envy.

Several nearby bosses immediately offered Lu Fei high prices to buy, but Lu Fei rolled his eyes and ruthlessly rejected them.

At this time, Du Qifeng was already in a mess.

He slumped on the chair and pointed at Lu Fei and said weakly.

"Lu Fei, this is my family's treasure. Give you the money and give me the things. We won't donate any more."

"Shhh"

The scene erupted into loud boos.

Lu Fei sneered.

"Du Qifeng, don't say I won't give it to you. Even if I sell it to you out of kindness, your family's defeat is certain and there is nothing you can do to save it."

"As I said before, enjoy yourself now, lest you regret it when you are exposed on the street."

"Master Du, please take your time to feel sad. I'll take the first step."

"See you soon. If there is another opportunity to make money like this in the future, be sure to think of me!"

"puff"

Du Qifeng spurted out another mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes and passed out.

Lu Fei snorted coldly.

"If you have a prime minister, you can build a country, but if you have a son, you will not be like a virtuous man."

"The Du family has a prodigal son like you. If you can survive to this day, you can be considered a good person in your past life."

"Xiao Yao, Ruilong, let's go and find a place to drink and celebrate."

After obtaining the peerless treasure, the reverse flow incense burner, Lu Fei was not interested in looking at the remaining items.

After saying hello to his sister-in-law Wang Ying and preparing to leave, when he reached the door, Huang Guanghui, the chairman of Nanyang Trading, blocked Lu Fei's way.

Huang Guanghui said with a smile.

"Brother Lu has great skills. I admire him very much. Can you give me your contact information so that we can sit down and have a drink together?"

Lu Fei chuckled.

"Mr. Huang, at your age and my age, it's not appropriate for you to call me brothers."

"What's inappropriate? I, Lao Huang, love to make friends. You, Brother Lu, are capable. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you by calling me a brother."

"Since Mr. Huang said so, I won't be polite to you."

"It just so happens that we are going to have supper. It's better to meet by chance than to invite him. If Mr. Huang has some free time, why don't we go have a drink now?" Lu Fei said.

"Okay, Lao Huang wants it."

"Brother Lu, if you don't mind, how about going to your brother's house, where your sister-in-law cooks delicious food, and let's have a good drink?"

"Going to home?"

"Would it be too disturbing to be so late? I think it's better to have a bite outside." Lu Fei said.

Huang Guanghui laughed loudly.

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. This old lady is going crazy at home. It's too late for her to be happy if someone tastes her craftsmanship. That's it."
