Chapter 20 The highest realm of spending money

"Incense Hall?"

Thousands of square meters are divided into more than a dozen rooms, with elegant decoration, Qingyishui mahogany furniture and glass cabinets display various agarwood. You can tell that they are all high-quality products based on the taste alone.

Johnson browsed it once and it started with 310 grams, and the most expensive one gram was 5,000 grams. The seemingly ordinary black wood is actually worth millions!

Since you are here, let’s get it right in one step and try what the legendary agarwood tastes. Choose the most expensive one directly, Nha Trang Heiqian, 8 grams, and 40,000.

When I came to the VIP room, I was very elegant. There was a chicken wenge wooden strip in front of me with various incense utensils on it. It seemed that it was a private room specially designed to entertain guests.

Soon, the beautiful incense master wearing a cheongsam came in, sat down, stretched out his snow-white hand and picked up the towel on the table, began to wipe the incense props one by one, and said politely: "My surname is Ling, and I am honored to give you fragrance."

Take out the Chinan chosen by Johnson, put on gloves, slowly grasped it with his left hand, pick up the knife with his right hand, gently remove the size of a little fingernail at the edge, and place it in the incense test plate.

Johnson looked at the inconspicuous little black wooden block in front of him. If he had been a layman, he thought it was garbage and could blow it away in one breath! But in the eyes of the incense players, this is a rare enjoyment.

It takes millions of cars to play with watches to play with hundreds of millions of cars to play with collections.

But what did the real kings and nobles play in ancient times?

agarwood,

This is just a real money burning!

When I picked up the incense burner, it was covered with incense ash. Like a purple clay pot, both incense and tea ceremony were important. One used tea to raise the pot, and the other used incense ash to raise the stove.

A pair of jade hands moved the charcoal plate directly in front, took the white porcelain charcoal can, opened the lid, and used the fire chopsticks to pick out a piece of charcoal, three or four centimeters long, dark all over. Put it on the charcoal net and slowly ignite it with a special ignition device.

In fact, there is an electronic aromatherapy furnace now. You can adjust the temperature by pressing the switch. However, for real players, incense is not just about enjoyment, but also a process of self-cultivation. Only by doing each step by yourself can you experience the fun.

Light all the charcoal and wait until it is burned thoroughly. It is best to turn red without the open flame. Put it aside. Take out the celadon incense burner, pick up the incense chopsticks, insert it continuously and then pull it out, lasting for ten minutes.

Use fire chopsticks to stir the incense ash to make it even and fluffy and rich in air so that the incense charcoal can be inserted into it to ensure sufficient oxygen, the combustion process is sufficient, and the entire incense is completed.

Until the incense ash is stirred, gradually spread the incense ash, insert it into the middle with a fire chopstick, shake it slowly, and open a charcoal hole in a clockwise direction.

Pick up the completely reddish charcoal, stuff it into the newly opened charcoal holes, and bury the charcoal.

Start combing the ash, comb the incense ash in the middle, cover the charcoal fire, and become a valley-like shape. Use the thickness of the incense ash to control the temperature of the charcoal fire to release all the fragrance of the incense material.

Put down the incense chopsticks, pick up the ash shovel, hold the stove in the left hand, press the incense ash in the right hand, press it into a cone shape, and completely bury the incense charcoal in it. Then clean the wall of the furnace with feathers to keep the incense burner spotless.

The whole process is focused, the movements are flowing, and the rhythm is full of rhythm. The mind gradually forgets the troubles of the world as the process is quiet and peaceful.

Qianqian picked up the long ash incense stick in her bare hands, and used the top of the incense ash as the pivot point, and shaped beautiful radial patterns clockwise, so-called incense tendons. Regular patterns appeared on the smooth incense ash, which was elegant and beautiful.

Take the incense needle, insert it vertically from the top of the incense ash, and rely on your hand to the position of the charcoal fire. Use your heart to sense the temperature of the charcoal fire, determine the height, pull out the incense needle, wipe it clean and put it back in place.

The palm of your right hand is facing down, the five fingers are slightly bent, and it surrounds forward from the right side of the incense burner, covering it above the incense burner, and detecting the size of the heat.

When the temperature is appropriate, pick up the mica tablets and place them gently on the fire window, press them a little to make them stable. Use a silver clip to pick up the chinan and place them carefully on the mica tablets.

Hold the upper edge of the celadon incense burner with your left thumb, hold the base of the incense burner with four fingers, relax your shoulders, lift your shoulders, hold the furnace in front of your nose, exhale gently, inhale deeply, and taste the incense.

Johnson took the incense burner, put it to his nose, took a deep breath, and a cool air arose, as if he was in a primeval forest.

The breeze is mixed with dew and scent of grass and trees, which makes people feel refreshed and transparent from the inside out.

At this time, it seemed to be transformed into a feather without any weight. As the breeze was passing through the jungle, the fragrance of the soil, the freshness of the grass, and various floral fragrances were mixed together, and even the smell of sunlight was clearly visible between the mottled leaves.

Suddenly, I was taken to a medicine field by the wind, and there was a faint bitterness everywhere, refreshing my mind, and the aura was long and floating straight up to the middle of my eyebrows, and my mind was filled with clearness.

After the bitterness, inexplicably sweetness surges into my heart, like a cantaloupe sweet and delicious, rich and juicy, giving people a satisfying sense of happiness. It is bitter first and then sweet, making the bitter more worthy of reminiscence, and sweetness is especially worth cherishing.

The aroma changes again, and the sweetness becomes more and more intense. A trace of condensed in the air, and a stream of smoothness, as if it is surrounded by silk, wrapped in layers, closely following each other, and is smooth at this moment.

Johnson Johnson was like being in a milk bath, his skin was surrounded by warmth, and the tranquility deep in his heart was awakened, and a baby-like innocent smile appeared on his face, as if he was returning to his mother's body, intoxicated by kindness and warmth.

Seeing Johnson's expression of enjoyment, he smiled and said, "Heiqian is also called iron knot agarwood. It is mostly hard, hard and dark in color. Among them, there are also top and top products. The good black agarwood is rich and greasy, secretes evenly, and has oily body. It has excellent fragrance. It is not comparable to other categories of agarwood."

"The first fragrance is very cool and domineering; the original fragrance is strong and has an elegant medicinal fragrance; the tail fragrance has a frankincense, which is distant and intriguing. After this piece of Qinan tail fragrance, it has a slight milky aroma, which is considered a top-quality fragrant material that changes from one tree to four changes."

Johnson picked up the black nan with a clip and put it on his nose to smell it. The fragrance was far less intense than it was after heating. He asked curiously: "There are other types of nan?"

"Qiannan fragrance has a black and soft texture, a sticky and tough texture, high oil content, sweet, rich, elegant, rare and rare. It is the best among fragrant wood. It has always been monopolized by royal aristocrats, so it is called a royal treasure. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Qinan fragrance had a saying that it was a piece of gold."

"According to color, it is divided into black chess, red chess, yellow chess, blue chess, white chess, and green chess. The appearance colors are different due to different production areas and land structures in different places. The black chess is barely considered a middle and lower chess, and the top chess is Green chess, Bai chess, and the legendary Jin chess."

The incense master said seriously: "The twelve ranks of Ding Wei's Tianxiang are recorded in: the oriole songs, orchid feathers, and golden silk knots are the three sages of Qi Nan. They are rare in a century and are rare in the world!"

When he was incense again, Johnson sniffed Qi Nan greedily, closed his eyes, and his face was full of obsession. The sense of smell that surpassed ordinary people allowed him to feel the charm of Xiang Tao more deeply, and he was a little unexcited.

After tasting Heiqian, I felt a sense of unfulfilled feeling. The beautiful incense master saw the nostalgia of the guests and suggested: "Your talent is very good. Should you try something else?"

Seeing that Johnson nodded in agreement, he stood up and left, quickly brought a tray, sat down again, and showed it: "This is the Indonesian Kalimantan agarwood of Sin Chew. It has a strong fragrance, a sweet first fragrance, and a scent that makes people shocked."

"The fragrance is far and deep, with a clear earthy smell, slightly spicy, and the aftertaste is strong and lasting, with a strong vanilla aroma, which is very intriguing."

"This spice has a clear hint of coolness, a slight herbal smell, and comes from the western Kalimantan production area."

Picking up the second piece, this agarwood is shaped like an eagle wing feather, with brown-black silky fine lines on the surface, and introduced: "The Cambodian agarwood of Hui'an is sweet and slightly sour, and is similar to honey."

"Because its strong fragrance can eliminate all odors, it is most popular in the Middle East market."

"The agarwood oil extracted from it has strong penetration. After applying it, it will not dissipate for four or five days, and the fragrance remains the same. It is known as the best perfume in nature."

"The last piece of Zoro agarwood should have been introduced into domestic agarwood varieties in recent years. The output is relatively concentrated and the price is relatively affordable."

"Its fragrance is relatively elegant and comfortable, without the earthy earthiness or the grassy fragrance of swamps. Among the many Indonesian sunkens, the fragrance is a bit similar to the Hui'an style, with a hint of sweetness, but it is more elegant, with some bitterness in sweetness, which is hard to describe in words."
