Chapter 378 Bai Qinan
Having doubts, Chu Chen greeted the stall owner, and began to carefully observe this piece of agarwood. Based on the various characteristics of the thing in his hand, and the spices he had been in contact with before, he immediately recognized that this thing It wasn't Chen Xiang at all, but Qi Nan, also known as Qinan.

To say that Qi Nan is indeed agarwood, many people think that Qi Nan is only agarwood after reaching a certain level of oil, but it is not the case.Strictly speaking, qinan and agarwood are two completely different substances.The oil components contained in each of them have not simply changed in quantity, but have achieved qualitative change.

Compared with agarwood, the production of qinan requires more time and coincidence. The so-called century-old agarwood is a thousand-year qinan.There are many different theories about the formation of Qi Nan.Some people think that Qinan is produced after the "Agarwood" has undergone various changes after the agarwood was repeatedly injured and repeatedly injured during the production process.

Some people also think that the agarwood tree is stimulated by different insects, ants, and honeycombs at the same time during the process of producing fragrance, resulting in a chemical change of a special smell.Others believe that Qi Nan is the product of "dead sinking" in the soil for a long time under special conditions.

But no matter how you say it, Qi Nan is the best of the best agarwood. It does not need to be burned to have a clear fragrance. The fragrance is more prominent than agarwood, and its medicinal properties are more moist.In ancient my country, the emperor's bed must have three flavors of spices, namely musk, longyanxiang and qinanxiang, from which we can also see the preciousness of qinan.

The scented candle formula that Chu Chen got before needed to use agarwood, and it was also stated that qinan was better. Therefore, he had seen qinan in the company and smelled the fragrance of qinan, and the piece in the company was already on the market. The top Yingge Green among Qinan, but its fragrance is two points worse than this piece of Qinan, which made him feel unbelievable.

But since it is better than Yinggelu, then Chu Chen also knows what kind of chess piece this thing is in his hand.

The stall owner waited until Chu Chen looked away, and asked, "Little brother, how is it? Do you want my agarwood?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, please ask the boss for a price!"

The stall owner said with sly eyes: "Little brother, you must have smelled the smell of my agarwood just now, so I won't say much. It costs 200 yuan per gram, and my agarwood is a little more than two kilograms. I will count it as your 40 yuan." , I don’t count the fraction, how about it?”

Hearing the price quoted by the stall owner, Chu Chen couldn't help being overjoyed. The stall owner must have thought it was agarwood. Although this is indeed the price of a low-end chess, if the stall owner thinks it is a chess, the price will definitely be more than that. These.

In fact, the stall owner thought it was agarwood and it was normal. It was unbelievable that the agarwood was so big and of such good quality, not to mention Qinan, which is more precious than agarwood?Let alone the stall owner, if Chu Chen didn't know how to identify it, he wouldn't believe that Qi Nan would have such a big piece.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Boss, your price is a little unkind. I admit that your piece of agarwood is really good, but you have to know that on the border between China and Vietnam, ordinary agarwood is less than six yuan a gram. It's impossible for Chun Chenxiang to have more than 30 times high school, right?"

The stall owner scratched his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that the little brother is still in the industry. If you do it, you can give me a price!"

"60 yuan per gram, how about it?"

"No, no, no!" The stall owner said excitedly, "Sixty is not enough, the minimum is one hundred and two!"

"eighty!"

"one hundred!"

"Let's take a step back, how about 90 yuan per gram?"

The stall owner thought for a while and said: "90 yuan is fine, but you can't wipe off the odds. My piece of agarwood is 2045 grams in total. You give me 18. If you don't believe me, you can weigh it!"

"Row!"

Chu Chen responded, and then actually took out a portable electronic scale from his bag, and the electronic scale actually had its own calculator. Others who saw it were a little dumbfounded.

After confirming the weight was correct, Chu Chen said to the stall owner, "Boss, I have cash, but is it convenient to pay here?"

Because of the need to buy woolen materials before, Chu Chen had enough cash in his bag to pay for the things just now, and the rest was enough to pay for the spices.

After all, the ghost market is a place where people are mixed. Chu Chen is not afraid to spend so much money at one time, but the stall owner does not have Chu Chen's strength.So the stall owner was reminded by Chu Chen, so he simply packed up his things and closed the door. With so much money, he planned to open an antique shop, and he would definitely not come to the ghost market to set up a stall in the future.

Next, the group found a breakfast shop, completed the transaction, and then the stall owner left happily.

"Brother, this thing shouldn't be agarwood. The fragrance of agarwood is far worse than this thing!" After the stall owner left, Chu Yulan hurriedly asked curiously.

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "This is indeed not Chen Xiang, but Qi Nan!"

"That's right!" Chu Yulan suddenly said, "I almost forgot about Qi Nan, but I really didn't expect that Qi Nan would be so much more fragrant than Chen Xiang!"

Wild agarwood trees are usually blown off by strong winds, injured by animals or struck by lightning, and the wounds will produce agarwood. Among the ten thousand agarwood trees, only one agarwood tree can be found, which is not to be treasured. Question, under normal circumstances, ordinary people will never see a chess piece in their lifetime.

In addition, Xiang Dao is not valued by others now, so it is not surprising that Chu Yulan has never smelled Qi Nan.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Of course it is impossible for an ordinary chessman to have such a fragrance. This is actually the top kind of chessman, white chessman."

White chess nan can be said to be the top grade among qi nan. It is generally believed that white chess may refer to raw green chess, that is, raw wood chess nan containing green chess ingredient oil.Its texture is very soft, and its fragrance is unparalleled and long-lasting. Of course, qinan is very rare, let alone white qinan.

Chu Yulan was dumbfounded and said, "Brother, are you saying that this thing is the kind of Bai Qinan that you've only heard of but not many people have seen?"

After Chu Chen nodded to confirm, she still couldn't believe it and said: "Since it is such a precious thing, how could it be so big!"

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Bai Qinan to grow so big. I estimate that it will take at least thousands of years, or even ten thousand years. It can only be grown by chance and coincidence, and I don't know where that person got this piece of Bai Qinan!"

Hu Yong heard that the wooden pile in front of him was not very big, but it took thousands of years to grow. He couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face. However, there are many trees that have grown for thousands of years. The key is to see how valuable they are. , so he asked: "Young Master Chu, how much is this thing worth?"

Chu Chen pondered for a while, and replied: "I really haven't seen this thing sold anywhere, but it must cost at least 2 yuan per gram. Anyway, if someone sells this kind of thing for [-] grams, I will definitely buy it." of."

In fact, Chu Chen still doesn't know much about the market for non-agarwood. With the quality of Bai Qinan in his hand, he can't buy one gram for 2 yuan, but he doesn't plan to sell such a rare thing, so It won't hurt anything.

Hu Yong opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say. In his eyes, such a tree stump was worth more than 4000 million yuan, and the purchase price was only more than 18 yuan. This is nothing but a white wolf!But thinking about Chu Chen's gambling with stones, he gradually became numb.

This Young Master Chu is an evildoer, and he cannot be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people at all!
After a while, other people gathered around. As soon as Liu Sizhe walked in from the outside, he said with a face full of disappointment:

"The ghost market here is really boring. Apart from jadeite and jade, I wanted to find some antiques, but I couldn't find them!"

Others also expressed their disappointment, and Wan Chengjun smiled and said: "Every place has its own characteristics. If you have not participated in this fair and seen countless high-end jadeites, you will also I don’t think the ghost market is as boring as it is now.”

When you think about it, everyone thinks this is true. The quality of those finished jadeite products is poor, but they are still much cheaper than those in the store. They are also good as souvenirs, just like they bought when they met a few tourists before. Very happy.

"By the way, Brother Chen, you seem to have gained a lot from your appearance, right?" Liu Sizhe asked with great interest when he saw what Chu Chen was holding.

There are no private rooms in the breakfast shop, and there are too many people coming in now, so it is not suitable to take out things, otherwise it will attract the attention of interested people. Although Chu Chen is not afraid, it is better to have less than one thing, so he said :

"The harvest is indeed not bad, but there are more people now, let's talk about this later. Do you want to eat something before going back?"

It took more than an hour to eat breakfast, and everyone said they were not hungry, so the group went back to the hotel directly.

On the way, when the others heard that the big thing in Chu Chen's hand was actually Bai Qinan, their expressions were shocked. If it wasn't for the inconvenience outside, Fatty Dong would have opened the plastic bag to take a look. .

Seeing Fatty Dong's impatient look, Liu Sizhe smiled and said, "Fatty, it's not like your family doesn't have Qinan. Although brother Chen's piece is indeed a bit bigger, you shouldn't be so impatient, right?"

"Brother Liu, you don't understand!" Fatty Dong shook his head again and again and said, "You have to know that it is very difficult to buy the top wild chess now, especially the top-notch white chess, and it is still such a big piece. Bai Qinan, if you say it, you will scare people to death!"

"There are so many precious things, I have never seen you so excited, and I remember you don't seem to play chess!" Liu Sizhe also knew how precious chess was, but Fatty Dong's behavior still made him feel very strange .
