Chapter 93 Lightning Strikes Qi Nan

Lao Han slapped his chest and said proudly: "Haha, it's not me that I brag. I, Lao Han, said the second place, but no one dared to say the first place!"

"For more than ten years, I have some favorite things in my hands. I will take you to see when I get home later."

Wen Yiming was very excited. Qiongzhou agarwood has been passed down for thousands of years, with more than a dozen varieties. Many fine products are only known for their reputation. Today I finally have the opportunity to see them.

Several people returned to Lao Han’s four-story building. He took the two of them to the fourth floor and opened the thick safe door. A strong fragrance came to his face.

The house with a large and small agarwood is filled with more than 60 square meters, with a strong fragrance and refreshing spirit. Ling Yuxin was attracted by a similar root carving at the door, and the one in front of her was seventy or eighty centimeters tall, all of which were white bark roots, with strange shapes.

The fragrance came. When he looked closely, he saw that the wood had been eaten by insects and ants, and it was densely filled with holes, which was very wonderful. Ling Yuxin said in surprise: "The fragrance of insect eyes?"

"This is my early years when I collected incense from the mountains. When I met the roots of this incense tree, it was at least nearly a hundred years old. Unfortunately, it was cut down and only the roots were left. However, it was transformed into rare carvings by insects. It was a natural fun, right?"

Wen Yiming nodded secretly, lamenting the wonders of nature, and there are more than one kind of insects parasitized in it, living in peace and transforming the home.

Unfortunately, the roots of the tree are dead and can only be secreted by the remaining oil. However, with insects participating, the smell of this insect eye is quite strange. Their secretions mixed with agarwood can produce a richer flavor, which is also an interesting thing.

"Qiongzhou's top-quality chili nanmu is divided into three types: one is raw knot, with varieties including green osmanthus, chicken tongue, oil knot, tree heart oil knot, etc.; the second is insect leak, including insect leaks, oil knot, insect leak cream; the third is ripe fragrant, with many varieties, gold silk knot, sugar knot, honey knot, etc.."

Lao Han shared many years of experience and said: "The reason for the formation of this tree root is very similar to that of the worms, but the quality is incomparable to the worms. The conditions for the scented scent are very harsh. Not only is the tree age longer, the environment is suitable, and the cooperation of insects is indispensable."

"The secretions produced by different types of insects are different, and the taste varies greatly. For example, there are many tropical rainforests in Nha Trang and the climate is humid, which is most suitable for the production of insect leaks. Once it appears, it is basically a sky-high price."

"Generally, agarwood oil is from the outside to the inside, while agarwood is from the inside to the outside, which is why it has a stronger fragrance. The raw and sedimented china tastes sweet and cool; the ripe molasses are usually golden, and naturally fall off is purple mixed with gold, and the taste is spicy. There are also some warm and irregular horizontal lines and s-patterned oil lines on it."

Lao Han took out a small piece of Qinan from the cabinet and said, "Qinnan has a very soft texture, so except for the raw fragrance, no one will go to the bracelets or carvings. It is too wasteful and easy to wear. It is made of whole materials for natural artistic ornaments."

"This piece of quality is OK. Last year, someone paid 800,000 yuan to buy it. I was reluctant to do so. Now it's estimated that one million yuan is fine."

"The first fragrance of raw and chrysanthemum is a refreshing fragrance, cool and sweet, and some also have the flavor of baked cake; honey and chrysanthemum is wheat and milk; insect-leak aroma has the most complex flavor, some have the flavor of roasted sweet potato, and red date sugar water flavor, and coconut milk flavor, each one is different."

Having said this, Old Han was in a hurry and said: "It's not easy for you to come here. Today, let you see my most proud baby, Lei Daoqian!"

"Thunder strikes Qi Nanmu?" Wen Yiming and Ling Yuxin looked at each other and were very surprised. You must know that Yuka is already a small probability, and even if you are hit by lightning, you can survive, it is simply in a million!

Lao Han opened the safe, took out a piece of black agarwood that was seven or eight centimeters long and two or three centimeters wide, carefully held it in his palm, and said proudly: "This is my most proud baby, it's full of oil and lightning strikes Qi Nanxiang!"

"Once I went to the mountains to collect incense. When I came back, it was raining heavily. When I was looking for a place to shelter from the rain, I accidentally found an old agarwood tree, half of which was scorched by lightning. I sent a ghost to find this fragrant nanmu in the center of the tree. Are you very special if you smell the smell carefully?"

Yin Yiming took it and smelled it. The unique aroma of Chinan was mixed with a slight burnt smell, which made the taste even more unique. He nodded and said, "After thunder strike, it is difficult for trees to heal themselves. The secretion of oil is more than that of ordinary wounds. The aroma is denser and the taste is indeed more unique."

Ling Yuxin tentatively said: "How much does this piece cost?"

Old Han shook his head, carefully put Qi Nan back into the safe, and said firmly: "No! No matter how much you cost, you will never sell it! You will always have to leave a souvenir for future generations. I guess I will not get a better fragrance than this in my life. I will never make enough money, and I will never sell this fragrance even if I die!"

Ling Yuxin nodded. It was indeed rare for lightning to strike Qi Nan. It was the first time she saw a real thing, and she wouldn't sell it if she was a small person. Although she was small, she was also a treasure worth collecting.

In the evening, the group left Lao Han's house. Wen Yiming asked on the way back: "Is Lao Han the potential stock you invest in?"

Ling Yuxin smiled and said, "There is no way. Now there are fewer and fewer wild agarwood, and more and more people like incense. What do you think you should do?"

"And foreign goods are popular in the market. The signboard of Qiongzhou agarwood has gradually been forgotten. If we don't support local industries, will we regret it after we are extinct?"

Wen Yiming nodded in agreement. Although Lao Han’s career has just begun, it is still a good seed after all. What is planted is hope and what is harvested is the future.

"Today is just an appetizer. Tomorrow we will enter the mountains and go deep into the local Li people. The vast mountains and primeval forests are the real treasures!"

Ling Yuxin pointed to the mountains far outside the window and said proudly: "Jianfengling, we are here!"

Wen Yiming looked at Ling Yuxin in surprise. She seemed to have changed her own person after leaving Zhongzhou. She changed from aloof and became lively and friendly?

Ling Yuxin stretched her body and felt comfortable. She finally went out for a trip and relaxed her heart. What's more, she naturally let go of her disguise and indulged her for a few days with the man she was moved by.

The group came to Bais County and stayed today. Someone came to pick him up tomorrow morning, and then went into the mountain. They had time to purchase some supplies in case of emergency needs.

"This is Afeng, a Miao people, who has worked together for many years and is a good friend!"

Ling Yuxin pointed to Wen Yiming and introduced: "This is the chief incense master of Yaxiangju. Wen Yiming. He will be the one who will do the matter in the store in the future. This time we are here to inspect the source of goods. You can contact Yiming from now on."

"Hello, Mr. Wen, I am Afeng, please take care of me in the future!"

The shrewd Afeng quickly reached out and greeted him: "If you have anything to do in the future, you will talk to me. I have worked with Miss Ling for many years. Everyone knows the bottom line and can definitely rest assured about the quality of the supply!"

Wen Yiming smiled and nodded. In recent years, all Qiongzhou agarwood in Yaxiangju have been purchased through Afeng. Although there are not many high-quality products, the quality is quite good, and it is considered the largest supplier in the local area.

Agarwood is different from others. It is born and raised in nature and is less and less. Only the deep mountains and forests have wild agarwood. The local Miao and Li people have come to the mountains to pick fragrance from generation to generation, and only they have first-hand supplies in their hands and can only cooperate with them.

The group drove on the road, and Afeng became a driver and went straight into the mountains to find fragrance. The road gradually moved away from the city and turned into a winding highway, passing through steep cliffs from time to time. Fortunately, Afeng, an old driver, everyone talked while driving.

"Miao Village?" Afeng was very talkative, and slowly Wen Yiming became familiar with him. He suddenly tentatively said: "Is there anyone in your Miao Village who can suck the gang?"
