It turns out that the material of this kind of briar pipe is very rare, and the pipe that Ao Kun is interested in is more than 300 years old, and it is extremely rare to see it on the market. It is definitely the best among pipes, and only a few exist in some pipe smoking hobbies.

In the hands of the owner, it is extremely precious, which is why the owner is unwilling to sell it.

The reason why this kind of briar wood pipe is precious is that only the root nodules of the briar wood that have been growing for many years are suitable for making pipes. First, root nodules with roots that are more than ten years old are dug out from the ground. The older the nodules are, the more woody they are.

The better, the more beautiful the wood grain, and the more expensive the price.

Moreover, the dug roots must be strictly cleaned and screened, leaving only those without cracks and defects. The heather roots are then cut into brick-like cubes and buried in the soil for three months before being taken out and cut into pipe shapes.

It is then "boiled" in water for twelve hours, and finally air-dried in a pergola for half a year.

These strict processes make the loss rate of briar roots quite high. After cutting the root nodules into pipe blanks, they must be selected according to the wood grain pattern and quality. Those with complete, beautiful patterns and uniform and plump texture are used to make expensive pipes.

The rest can only be made into ordinary pipes.

Ao Kun clearly remembered that the collector took out the pipe, pointed to the pattern on the pipe and said to him: "Only old heather root nodules can make such a beautiful pipe. Look at the patterns and colors on it.

, only root nodules that are more than three hundred years old can form such dense wood and such dark brown color."

The collector stared at the pipe in his hand, his eyes full of affection, and continued: "If you look carefully, you will see that there are many tiny holes between the patterns, so the wood looks hard, but because of its age

The root is dense and porous, but its weight is very light. It is less burdensome to hold in the mouth, and its heat resistance and heat dissipation will naturally be better. In the process of smoking, it can also make the tobacco that pays attention to low-temperature combustion have a better flavor."

The collector looked up at Ao Kun who was fascinated by what he heard. He smiled and continued: "Heather root nodules have no annual rings, and its age can only be determined by the wood grain. Because the soil where the heather tree grows is very poor, and the heather pipe

Famous throughout the world, it has experienced extensive deforestation over the past century and raw materials have become extremely scarce."

"A 5- to 10-pound heather root nodule takes 30 years or more to grow, and a root nodule that large can make about six pipes. In the early 20th century, you can still find root nodules that are 350 years old. Now,

The rarest briar pipe that can be seen in the world is only a hundred years old. Even briar pipes from 50 to 75 years old trees have become treasures. And this pipe is made from root nodules that are more than 300 years old. It can be said that in

It is extremely rare to see it in the world. This is why I have been reluctant to cede this pipe to you."

After the collector introduced the preciousness of the pipe, he stood up apologetically and said to Ao Kun: "I'm so sorry, sir, I can only let you go away empty-handed."

Ao Kun visited the thatched cottage several times, which moved the collector very much. It is indeed a great honor for the owner of the collection to have his collection so favored by outsiders. He was really moved by Ao Kun's sincerity.

, but he was really reluctant to give up his treasures.

Only then did Ao Kun understand the preciousness of this pipe. No wonder people would reject him several times. He stared at the expensive pipe on the table. The pipe lay quietly on the table, still exuding elegance and nobility.

Aura, dark brown Dou's body exudes a faint light, Sihu is telling him this.

Ao Kun stared for a moment, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He stood up and stared at the collector and said: "To tell you the truth, I really like this pipe, otherwise I wouldn't visit you again and again. Of course, if

I will definitely cherish this pipe when I get it, please believe this. Let me give you a blank check, fill in the amount yourself, and I will take this pipe!"

As he spoke, he took out a blank check from his check folder, bent down, signed the check and pushed it in front of the collector. The collector was stunned. He talked to the other party for so long, just to let the other party know the difficulty.

He wanted to withdraw, but he didn't expect that the other party would take out a blank check so generously, which made him at a loss.

He looked at Ao Kun quietly for a while, nodded and said: "Because of your sincerity, I won't make a price, you can fill in the check amount yourself, because I see that you really like it, and you will definitely cherish it even more. You

I will transfer to you whatever amount you fill in, even one pound." He was deeply moved by Ao Kun's sincerity.

Without saying a word, Ao Kun directly sat down and filled in the figure of one million pounds, picked up his pipe, bowed to the collector, turned around and walked out. The collector lowered his head and glanced at the check on the table, and was immediately struck by the long mark on the check.

He was shocked by the long number. He didn't expect that an ordinary-looking Oriental would go to such great lengths for this pipe.

Although this pipe is very valuable, it is rarely seen in the world. No one knows its true value. But to say that this pipe is worth one million pounds is really staggering. I didn’t expect that the person in front of me would do it for a hundred pounds.

Thousands of pounds, this is indeed an accident and surprise for this collector.

Since then, Ao Kun has collected many world-famous pipes, but he has never found one that can compare with this precious pipe. At the same time, he has never found another pipe that can make him feel telepathic. For this reason, Ao Kun never found another pipe that could compare with this precious pipe.

I cherish this pipe very much and carry it with me all the time, but rarely use it. I only take it out to play with occasionally. I usually use other pipes when smoking.

Deep in his heart, he always believed that this expensive pipe was his lucky charm. He believed that this pipe, which could only resonate with him, would definitely bring him luck. Therefore, he only used it when encountering big events.

Only then did I take it out and smoke a few bags.

Oddly enough, when he encountered difficult problems, he took out his pipe and smoked it for a few times, and he was able to overcome the difficulties successfully. For more than 20 years, this precious pipe has been with him.

Indeed, Ao Kun ushered in the glory of his drug career, and finally witnessed him becoming a world-famous drug lord. In Ao Kun's eyes, this pipe is his lucky pipe!

Today, when gunshots rang out in the middle of the night, he deliberately took out this precious lucky pipe, but he didn't expect that the hard pipe actually cracked in his rage! In his heart, this was not a broken pipe.

This is his luck being broken, this is his dream being broken!
