Xiao Changyi and Li Nenggan shouted the man's name at the same time.
There is no doubt that the person Xiao Changyi was visiting with Wang Ding today was this boss Qian. Old Qian and stall owner Li Nenggan looked very familiar.
Old Qian, Qian Zhongshui, looked at Li Nenggan with a smile, and then introduced Xiao Changyi to Li Nenggan Road.
"Old Li, this Master Xiao Changyi is my friend. He is well-known in the collection circle. He likes your banyan tree bonsai. If you don't say you give it to him, you can't ask for a high price of 3,000 yuan.
.”
"Haha." Li Nenggan also laughed and apologized embarrassedly, "Well, it turns out that it's still your friend. Since we know each other, I will give you this banyan tree bonsai, and I won't charge any more."
"How can that be? You must give us money, but you'll give us a little cheaper, right? Wang Ding. I forgot to introduce to you, this is my brother Wang Ding, old Qian, I want to do it today
The bead you look at is his."
Xiao Changyi introduced, and Wang Ding nodded and greeted Lao Qian and Li Nenggan.
"Hello, younger generation Wang Ding, just like what my brother Xiao said, I must give the bonsai money to this banyan tree, and I can't ask Uncle Li to suffer a loss. You can ask for a price."
"Okay, that's three hundred yuan. You can give me one capital. I'm not happy to give it to me more."
Wang Ding was still shocked by Li Neng's words. It was not because of three hundred yuan, but because the price difference was too big, and it was ten times more.
Wang Ding was very interested in the bonsai next to him that was worth 20,000 yuan by Li Nenggan, and he also wanted to know how much it cost.
The roots of this pot of osmanthus are claw-shaped and are grabbed onto the soil. The stems are straight and the main trunk is only thirty centimeters high. There are three forks on it, and countless small forks are divided. There are also white flowers between the leaves, obviously silver.
Variety of cinnamon.
He asked casually, "Uncle Li, I still want to know, how much does your silver osmanthus bonsai cost?"
"This silver cinnamon, look carefully. This silver cinnamon is not natural."
Li Neng smiled dryly, and Wang Ding and Xiao Changyi were only looking at the silver osmanthus in front of him carefully.
After watching for a long time, Xiao Changyi discovered it, but Wang Ding still found nothing different. He looked at the stall owner Li Nenggan with confusion.
Before Li Nenggan could say anything, Qian Zhongshui's son Qian Le answered first, "This bonsai is not natural, because the roots below the silver osmanthus are tassels, only the canopy above is osmanthus, it is tassels
Make rootstocks and grafted bonsai with osmanthus scion. The native osmanthus is a southern flower and tree. Although it can survive in the north, it requires several years of adaptation. Sometimes it is not well taken care of and it will freeze to death in winter. The osmanthus grafted by tassels.
The cold resistance and drought resistance have been greatly improved, so many osmanthus bonsai in the north are grafted with tassels. This grafted silver osmanthus is not as valuable as the original silver osmanthus. This pearl can be bought for 3,000 yuan!"
Qian Le didn't say that Wang Ding hadn't looked closely yet. He opened his eyes and looked at it. Sure enough, there were tassels under this silver osmanthus, and only the crown above was the osmanthus.
"What, Xiaoding, do you like this silver cinnamon? If you like it, I will give you a pot. Do I always express it when I meet you for the first time!"
"No need, Uncle Li, I just asked, but I am still very interested in this bonsai. If you come to learn from you in the future, you must accept me as your apprentice!"
Li Nenggan has a good impression of Wang Ding, a young man. Nowadays, there are not many young people who are interested in bonsai. Li Nenggan saw that Wang Ding liked it and said with relief, "Okay, as long as you are interested, if you like it, then I will
I will tell you, the bonsai industry still has promising prospects!”
"Old Li, you really don't know. The young man in front of you is not an ordinary person. He is also a rookie in the collection circle. This time he came here to find me and asked me to see him some time ago.
A piece of bead that I picked up, by the way, you can also help me take a look at it, Xiaoding, where is the bead?"
Qian Zhongshui was still looking forward to the beads. He looked at Wang Ding with eager eyes. Wang Ding quickly took out the beads from Jin Chan's mouth.
"Old Qian, I'm not a rookie in the collection circle, I'm just interested in collecting it. I got a special bead some time ago. I want to ask you to help me." Wang Ding smiled and handed the dark purple beads.
Go past.
Mr. Qian reached out to take it and then bought the beads. His expression moved slightly, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "This thing is interesting, it seems to be a gloomy wood of red sandalwood..."
"Rose sandalwood gloomy wood!"
Wang Ding was stunned. He heard Xiao Changyi say this purple sandalwood look like it. However, the gloomy wood is rarely heard of.
"It should be true."
Mr. Qian nodded and seemed to be a little confused when he saw Wang Ding, so he simply explained: "This gloomy wood can be called a charcoal wood in a scientific definition. Since it is generally black all over, the southwest is generally called ebony."
"The formation of gloomy wood can be said to be an accident. Some woods, due to earthquakes, floods, mudslides, etc., are buried in formations or muds in rivers. Under the influence of microorganisms such as oxygen and high pressure, and under the influence of bacteria and other microorganisms,
It took thousands of years of carbonization to finally form."
Qian Lao laughed and said, "It is precisely this characteristic that makes the preciousness of gloomy wood. The ancients used gloomy wood as an evil-proof object, making handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulets. And, a saying has been circulated, "Home has half of ebony."
Square is better than a box of treasures.”
"Yuan Mei, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, also described the gloomy wood in his works."
At the same time, Qian Le added: "That's what he said. According to legend, the sunken trees were trees that were built before, and they were sunken in the sand and waves, and they passed through the disasters of heaven and earth, and they were reborn in the world, so they were buried in the soil again and would not be damaged for thousands of years.
The color is dark green and the patterns are like brocade. Place it on the ground, and you will not fly a hundred steps away."
"So magical." Wang Ding exclaimed.
"Of course, this kind of record also has a certain interpretation. However, the preciousness of gloomy wood is beyond doubt." Qian Zhongshui said: "The ancients thought that gloomy wood entered the earth for thousands of years without rotting, which was just the longevity.
The best material for wood. Therefore, the Water Sutra also records that there is a stream on the side of the village, and there are many spiritual and longevity trees in the stream. Even among the people, there is a proverb that ten thousand taels of gold are given to the underworld in exchange for ebony to sacrifice to the heavenly spirits.
.”
"There are many kinds of gloomy trees, common ones include hemp willow trees, green hill trees, camphor trees, etc. However, the most precious ones are red sandalwood and golden nanmu gloomy trees."
Qian Lao laughed and said, "The greatest wish of ancient emperors and generals before their death was probably to obtain the golden nanmu gloomy wood as the material for longevity wood. Unfortunately, golden nanmu and red sandalwood are rare, and they form dark
The probability of wood is also very low. Therefore, their wishes are destined to be disappointed." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
