The Black Card

Chapter 70: What is Agarwood

The man walked behind the counter, took out a bracelet from the inside, and gently placed it in front of Shi Lei.

"This is one of the cheapest things I have here. Take it and look at it."

According to Yan Shilei, after picking up, I only felt that the scent that came from my hands was slightly different from the scent in the store, but it seemed to be the same source.

Seeing Shi Lei's nose twitch, the humane said, "Smell it?"

Shi Shilei nodded and said, "What kind of wood is this? It is so fragrant. It tastes similar to yours, but not exactly the same."

The man was slightly surprised, and said with interest: "Oh? Then what are the differences?"

Bian Shilei sniffed his hand in front of his nose, and found that it was close together, but the taste was much lighter, and it didn't smell refreshing at a distance.

"No, I don't seem to have smelled similar aromas before. But the aroma of this bracelet seems to be subtle, relatively low, with or without milk, and with a little milky aroma. The aroma in your store is unrestrained. Very, it was mixed with a little spicy feeling. But after getting used to it, the spicy feeling became a sweet taste, even the saliva in my mouth seemed to be a little bit sweet now. "

The man looked at Shi Lei up and down, and he laughed: "The little brother is interesting. The first time I touched Agarwood, I can say so many words, it is not easy. Hehe, there is fate, and time is coming Closed, if you are interested, sit down and have a cup of tea, let me tell you about this agarwood? "

Shi Shilei smiled and hurriedly said, "That would be nice, but the price of your stuff is relatively high, and I may not be able to afford it."

"I didn't sell it to you again, do you know why I asked you to sit down?" The man withdrew the bracelet, but didn't hurry to put it in the counter. Sit down opposite.

"I said just now that you come in and you have a destiny. Generally speaking, in our street, there are very few strangers coming in after 4 pm. Basically, people who come here often exchange items here. Old customer. Today, a friend gave me a box of good tea. I brewed it, and I thought that good tea must have a good fragrance, so I burned a stove of my personal treasure. Just click on it and you will Come in, this is my fate. "

Shi Shilei quickly waved his hand and said, "I just happened to pass by and I was bored before I wanted to come in and see ..."

"Fate can be made without heart. If you come with a purpose, it is not fate."

Shi Shilei watched the man make a pot of tea, poured two cups, put a cup in front of him with a bamboo clip, and made a gesture of asking for tea.

I took a sip of tea, even if Shi Lei didn't know any tea art at all, I also felt that this cup of tea had a good smell on the teeth and cheeks, which was very delicious.

如何 "How about tea?" The man seemed to ask casually, with a smile in his eyes, looking at Shi Lei.

Shi Shilei put down the tea cup, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe the tea flavor, so he said, "Good tea."

"Gone?"

Shi Shilei was a little stunned, and he bowed his head embarrassedly, "I don't know how to drink tea, and I don't know about tea. I just wanted to find a word to describe it, but I found that there was no word when I searched my stomach.

"Haha, this is the highest state of tea tasting. There is no word of beauty, only the simple word of good tea. There is another allusion about this word of good tea. I won't work on it. If the little brothers are interested, you can Baidu. It has something to do with Tea Saint Lu Yu. "

Shi Shilei nodded and asked: "You haven't told me yet, how did you know that I was here for the first time and knew nothing about antiques!"

The man filled Shi Lei with tea again, so he said, "Actually, the first time you came was because I saw that you were playing with Wenwan. Well, it ’s because you do n’t know anything. Because if you are not the first time, , You have at least a superficial understanding of Wenwan, you will not be so surprised to see that the price here is quite high. As long as you have a little understanding of Wenwan, you will definitely know what Agarwood is. Ancient It is said that there are four major fragrances, which are the four best spices in ancient times. Among these four spices, the first is agarwood, and the other three are ambergris, musk and sandalwood. .Even if you don't know much about Wenwan, I believe you should have heard of musk and sandalwood at least? "

Shi Shilei nodded and said, "There is a rheumatoid analgesic cream that has a musk component. My impression of sandalwood is only a sandalwood fan when I was a kid."

The man also nodded and said, "What you said is not really real musk or sandalwood. The former is artificial musk. It is really necessary to use natural musk. The painkiller is afraid that few people can afford it. And the latter , It's a craft, with a touch of sandalwood spices. If it's a real sandalwood fan, it's very valuable. "

"Hey, I really don't understand anything. It seems that Ambergris has also been heard in TV series, but Chen Xiang hasn't heard much."

"That's because agarwood is far more scarce and more expensive than any kind of spice. You can tell from the price in my shop. The string I just showed you can only be said to be barely okay. It is called Agarwood, it is very low in oiliness, and is produced by artificial means to secrete oil. Agarwood, strictly speaking, is not the string of wood in my hand. This wood is called white wood, and it does not have any fragrance, wood. Extremely loose, it should be regarded as one of the lowest density woods in nature. Plants growing in the wild will inevitably be touched by insects and beasts and even flooded by lightning, which will leave scars on white wood ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and Once Shiramu is injured, he will secrete a kind of oil to repair his wounds. Over time, as short as several decades and as long as hundreds of years, the agarwood in my hand is formed. "

Shi Shilei seemed to understand, saying: "Then in fact, agarwood is the oil contained in this wood. The more oil there is, the more agarwood is, so the more expensive it is."

The man laughed and took a sip of tea before saying, "Yes, that's the truth. Of course, in the process of forming Agarwood, there are many other conditions. The price that just made you exclaimed is Agarwood. Agarwood is roughly divided into water sinking, soil sinking, and ants sinking according to the way it is formed. Water sinking and soil sinking can be called inverted agarwood. The so-called inverted rack refers to the white wood that was soaked after death. In the water, some are buried in the soil. After deep age, the fat-free part rots and decays, but the part that has condensed fat remains. The water in the water is sinking, and the nature in the soil is soil sinking. .As for ant sinking, it is caused by insect bite, collectively called ant sinking. "

Wu Shilei only felt that his eyes were wide open. This knowledge may be searched on the Internet, but it was never as clear and simple as this man told.

"Natural agarwood is basically an inverted racket nowadays. Those items that have been sunk have long been bought out. However, since agarwood is a rare spice, there have been people specializing in fragrant agriculture since ancient times. The method of cutting and bruising makes Baimu injured to secrete oil to form agarwood. However, due to the relatively simple means, the agarwood formed in this way basically has only a thin layer on the surface. It is possible to use as a spice or as a powder for incense, but If you want to make hand-string text and play with these, it is not realistic. However, with the development of technology, some people use the hanging bottle method to inject white bacteria into the white wood, so that it can continue to secrete oil. Slowly, it is now more prosperous. Agarwood market. "
