Chapter 2 Pepper for Agarwood

"Shopkeeper, this thing isn't cheap, right?"

As a young man who has just started working for a few years, this is the first time Chen Yuan faces agarwood.

But even so, I was still surprised.

At the same time, I also understand a little why so many people are so popular and have such high value.

It is indeed a good thing, and everyone likes it after seeing it, but now he wants to take it for himself.

The shopkeeper laughed: "It's not cheap, it's for others. With the husband's financial resources, it's no problem."

What I mean is, don’t worry, if it’s so expensive that you can’t afford it, I won’t take it out.

Chen Yuan understood, and was not in a hurry, and asked, "Can I pick it up and take a look?"

"It's all right." The shopkeeper raised his sleeve, took out the paperweight, and put it on Chen Yuan's hand.

So heavy.

The seemingly small paperweight was heavy when held in the hand, just like a brick.

At this time, the shopkeeper ordered someone to bring a basin of water and smiled and said, "This is the fragrance of water, hard and heavy. It is placed in the water without floating. You are not careful to try it."

Agarwood is a cork, with a small density and is usually floating in water.

Only when the oil content reaches a certain level can the density increase and the hardness increase. This is called the submerged fragrance.

Chen Yuan had already checked the information. In terms of price, the incense is also expensive, which is incomparable to ordinary agarwood.

And this thing in your hand can be used as a weapon, and you can even think of it when you use your butt. It will definitely be so sank that you can't even see it when you throw it into the water.

However, he still put the paperweight into the basin.

Sure enough, without hesitation, he sank to the end.

At this time, the shopkeeper took out the bracelet and put it into the water. Also, it sank to the bottom without hesitation.

He smiled and said, "My husband thinks, this fragrance is rare even if it is the entire Chang'an City. If Mr. Wang doesn't act in time, he may not be able to come again next time."

This is purely business verbal.

No matter how stupid Chen Yuan is, he knows that if he really is so rare, he cannot afford it, and the shopkeeper will not show it to him.

However, satisfaction is true.

Then he asked, "I want both, shopkeeper, please give me a little cheaper."

"It's easy to say, if you are someone else, you will have to pay four guan in any case. You, for the sake of selling peppers before, you can collect three guan." The shopkeeper looked very sincere, looking very sincere.

Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched: "Can't you lose it anymore?"

"No, you will lose money if you have a small shop." The shopkeeper smiled.

Chen Yuan shook his head, thought about it, but he didn't care anymore, so he took the two things that had been put back in the box, and left the store for a fraction of 180 yuan.

Then, I sat down at a cake shop, namely the breakfast shop.

"Shopkeeper, a bowl of soup cakes, and two steamed cakes with fillings!"

"Okay!"

Soup cakes are not cakes, but rather are an existence similar to cut noodles with cutters.

Similarly, steamed cakes are not cakes, they may be buns or steamed buns.

This is the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, any pasta was made from flowers, also called cakes.

Taste is pretty good.

Although the appearance is not so good and not very white, the wheat is full of fragrance and chewy, and it feels better than modern white and delicate pasta.

Then, cook the mutton bone soup with the cut noodles with a knife, the mutton, mutton offals in the cut noodles with a knife, and the mutton in the bun, fresh.

The portion is still quite sufficient.

I was overeating, and it only cost two cents as soon as I checked out.

It was equivalent to ten yuan and had a good breakfast, and here is the imperial capital Chang'an.

...

Chen Yuan, like many young people in modern times, lives in the countryside, lives in Xianghe, and floats in the capital.

The previous job was a teacher in the training institution. Although his life was really frustrating, he was very proud of his return home during the holidays.

Because, working in Beijing, the salary that is only enough to support a living is good to many people.

Now, I am a jobless person.

The country vigorously rectified education, and he was honored to become a member of the rectification.

It seemed that he had finished a bit of it. As soon as he came back from the Tang Dynasty, the landlord and aunt came to the door.

There is nothing unpleasant.

Originally, he didn't plan to live here again, but the landlord and aunt were afraid that he could not afford the rent if he was unemployed, so he decided to settle the deposit and refund the deposit so that everyone could part.

Then, he carried a bag and carried one of the few luggage. After nearly a month, he took the bus to Beijing again.

It took nearly two hours to arrive.

Then, I took the subway and transferred, and took another hour to arrive at my final destination, the Antiques City.

This is the largest antique art trading center in Asia, covering an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters, and has more than 600 cultural relics companies, antique dealers, and on-site operations, including many foreign companies.

There are also many people setting up stalls here and selling some things, so the flow of people is quite large and the scene is very lively.

I won’t look at these on the ground.

Although the reason why he was free to go back and forth to the Tang Dynasty and modern abilities was a so-called ancient jade that he bought for fifty dollars, the probability was too slim.

Among many companies, he finally chose a store that mainly sells precious wood crafts and is called Muya Wenwan.

"Hello sir, what can I do to help you?"

Good service attitude.

As soon as I entered the door, in the hall with antique structure, a beautiful woman with red lips and white teeth came in a smile.

Chen Yuan was a little nervous, but he was still calm down quickly, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I have a family-borne agarwood paperweight. Please help me ask if I want it."

"Okay, sir, have a rest here, I'll ask now." The receptionist was very careful and led Chen Yuan to sit down in the rest area, poured water again, and then left.

Soon, he brought an old man in his thirties and forties, a suit and tie, and an old man in his fifties and sixties and dressed in Tang suits.

"Hello, I am the manager of our store, this is my business card." The man's name is Huang Chen, who is the manager in charge of the sales here of the company.

He came up and smiled and handed over the business card, and then introduced the old man around him, whose surname was Bai, who was a senior wood art appraiser.

Then, he brought him to the appraisal room: "I heard that Mr. Chen has a piece of agarwood paperweight to take action. Can you take it out first? Mr. Rong Bai will make an appraisal first?"

"This is natural." The identification is a necessary procedure. Chen Yuan also expected this, so he decisively took out the wooden box in the bag.

But I took it wrong, and when I opened it, it was a bracelet.

Awkward!

Hurry up and put it back and get another one.

But even so, Old Bai was still extremely shocked, and Huang Chen was also full of surprise.

Before Mr. Bai could not wait to speak, Huang Chen couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Chen, will the bracelet be sold or not? Our company will buy it at a high price."

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head: "I play the bracelet myself. If you don't sell it, just sell this paperweight."

While speaking, the box was taken out and opened, and the fragrance was instantly fragrant and full of Zen.

"this……"
