The biggest advantage of this yellow ripe incense stick in front of him was probably its large size.
"Yes, this is it." Su Tong nodded affirmatively." As long as He Kuo is willing.”
"Isn't it an outsider? Aren't you scolding me? I bought this piece of wood and the ones beside it from a broker. He has some overseas connections. If you like it, I can introduce him to you in the future.”
Su Tong's nose twitched slightly." The fragrance is mellow, sweet, and warm. It's not short.”
He Kuo smiled helplessly." It doesn't matter how many years it's been. It's yours now. You just have to take it with ease."”
Xia Mo, who was standing at the side, was unusually silent. He had sensed something interesting. He had personally experienced Su Tong's heaven-defying skills before. As the saying went, good friends should walk together for life. He Kuo should also have a taste of the despair and shock he had experienced.
Thinking of this, he grinned." That's right. Young Master Hekuo isn't someone who can't afford to play. Junior Brother, don't worry and just accept it. Think about that ginseng of yours. It's hard to come by. Didn't you just give it to him?”
He Kuo drove a Denali version of the Sierra pickup truck and placed the yellow incense stick in the back of the car. Then, he, Su Tong, Xia Mo, and the others made their way back to Bao Yuan House.
There weren't many customers in the shop. Wang Taichu was carefully looking at the broken porcelain pieces with a magnifying glass.
Hearing the noise, she looked up and saw the three brothers carrying a piece of wood in.
"Uncle Wang, this is what Su Tong exchanged with a hundred-year-old ginseng. Hurry up and see if it's worth it.”Xia Mo was already rubbing his hands together, ready to watch the show.
"Take it lightly!" Su Tong saw that the other two were about to throw the wood on the ground. Her heart ached and she quickly stopped them." Wait for me to get the newspaper!"”
"Aiya, it's fine. It's very sturdy.”He Kuo's mouth was straight, and although he was shouting impatiently, he still stood still with the wood on his shoulder.
Xia Mo stood behind him, also carrying a piece of wood." Let him put it if he wants to. What if it's expensive?"”He had an evil smile on his face, but unfortunately, He Kuo, who was in front of him, could not see it.
Su Tong found a few stacks of newspapers and laid them out before placing the wood on top.
"What a big yellow ripe incense!" This was Wang Taichu's first impression after seeing it. He observed, knocked, and sniffed." In the description of agarwood in Fragrance, it was pointed out that agarwood is divided into three categories, namely, heavy, stack, and yellow.”
He looked at his head again and continued,"It's indeed a high-quality yellow ripe fragrance. When fungi or dense incense trees continue to grow, an endless amount of incense will be deposited. Look, the incense is dense, strong, and strange. It is especially rich in natural creation.”
"It seems like I have more collecting cells than Xia Mo. I just randomly picked this from Broker.”Of course, He Kuo's words were full of arrogance. At least he had spent a lot of money on a few good pieces of wood.
"Tsk, I think you're covered in bacteria!”Xia Mo spat." Uncle Wang, I heard from Su Tong that this blockhead has been around for a long time?”
Wang Taichu breathed in the fragrance again.""Actually, the agarwood is the oily part of the agarwood tree that has been infected due to internal or external injuries. The time for agarwood to bear its first fragrance was about 1-10 years. The first time the incense was formed was about 10 to 50 years. The first and last incense is about 50-100 years. After that, it would take 100 to 150 years for the first incense to bear. When it reached the stage of maturity, it would take 500 years.”
"Uncle Wang, how old is this piece of wood?”He Kuo was different from Xia Mo. He didn't care about antiques. He was just curious about the specific age of this piece of wood.
Wang Taichu gently touched the grain on the surface of the wood, as if he was sighing at the long time." It should be a thousand years old."”
"With such a large size and such a high age, the price seems to be no less than three million.”Xia Mo concluded," Su Tong, you didn't lose out on this deal.”
"Three million? In that case, did I pick up something?" He Kuo said in surprise," You all saw the few pieces of wood under the table. It didn't cost ten million in total.”
"Tsk, you're a typical layman speaking layman's words. Perhaps this is the only valuable one among those few.”Xia Mo looked disgusted.
While they were bickering, Su Tong squatted beside Wang Taichu and pretended to ask casually,""Uncle Wang, don't you think the wood grain is a little strange?”
"Hmm? Strange? What's strange about it?" Wang Taichu carefully looked at the yellow incense stick from top to bottom, but he didn't find anything unusual.
When Xia Mo heard this, he thought, Hey, she's coming, she's coming, Su Tong is coming with his big move!
She immediately stopped talking nonsense with He Kuo and pulled He Kuo over.
Su Tong pointed at three different places, but the other three did not find anything wrong.
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly, what's wrong with these places?”Xia Mo's eyes were almost glued to the surface of the skin, but he didn't notice anything different.
So Su Tong took out her keychain, pulled out the file from the nail clipper, and gently poked at the first spot.
The " fragrance " of agarwood was actually a defensive weapon. It would only be secreted when the trunk or root was injured by physical damage and then invaded by microorganisms. The appearance was yellow-brown oil, which contained aromatic substances such as ambergris, guaiacol, etc., which constituted a medicinal fragrance.
These aromatic fats mainly existed in the phloem.
The phloem of Aquilaria was very special. It was not distributed around the periphery of the xylem like most other trees. Instead, it was scattered in the center of the xylem like an island. Botanically, it was called the intrinsic phloem. If one had an anatomical microscope or microscope, one could see small horizontal strips that were vertical to the xylem.
Su Tong couldn't use too much force to dig, so it was a little strenuous.
Looking at Su Tong fiddling with the surface of the yellow ripe incense bit by bit, He Kuo had a puzzled expression."What is this?"
However, Wang Taichu and Xia Mo had been waiting with bated breath. Wang Taichu raised his hand to signal him not to speak, while Xia Mo said to him expectantly,""Shut up!"
Just as He Kuo was about to retort, Su Tong finally opened the first small wound.
In fact, it was not even a small opening. It was just a very tight gap. However, it was in this almost imperceptible gap that the four people at the scene could clearly see that there was a small white paper-like thing there.
"F * ck, what is this? Why is there a note hidden inside?" Xia Mo exclaimed.
He Kuo was dumbfounded.
However, Wang Taichu's heart was beating like a drum at this moment. He had some vague guesses, but he couldn't believe it subconsciously. He was afraid that his great hope would be lost. His throat tightened and his voice trembled."Don't move. Don't use a file to pick anymore. I'll go get the needles."
