    Shu Ze was too lazy to talk to him and said with a smile: "Then I wish you good luck."

    "Thank you Master Shu for your kindness." Luo Haixu hugged Shu Ze and left with the others behind him. One of them, a foreign young man with blond hair and blue eyes, also looked at Meng Zitao and Shu Ze.

    "It's really unlucky that I met this kid!" Shu Ze said unhappily.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "This boat doesn't belong to him, so why do you care about him? Just ignore him next time you encounter him."

    Shu Ze smiled and said: "Just seeing this guy makes me feel very unhappy. Every time I see him, I really want to beat him up."

    Meng Zitao laughed and said, "You can beat me up if you want, I'll be a cheerleader by the side."

    "You kid"

    In a joyful atmosphere, the two of them had some fun on the boat. During this period, Shu Ze also met several business partners. In addition to keeping in touch with each other, he also introduced Meng Zitao, which also increased Meng Zitao's connections.

    Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was time to hold the free trade fair.

    The free trade fair was arranged by the organizer in a hall on the ground floor. When Meng Zitao and his party arrived at the scene, many guests who were preparing to sell items had already put some of the items they carried with them on the shelves prepared by the organizer.  .

    These things can be sold or exchanged, and as long as both parties are willing, the deal can be concluded.  There were quite a few customers who came to shop and sell treasures. Meng Zitao looked at their clothes. It seemed that many of them should be rich and powerful people. Of course, the things these people brought out would not be bad, otherwise they would not be able to afford that person.

    Of course, there are also some who look a little worse for wear. These people are probably the owners participating in tomorrow's auction, and they probably want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

    When the group of people arrived, the hall was already a little lively. From time to time, people were seen bargaining, and some were making deals on the spot.

    Meng Zitao glanced at the items that had been placed in the hall. Most of the items for sale were antiques, such as famous people's calligraphy and paintings, jades and jewelry, bottles and cans. Although they looked precious, to Meng Zitao, they were not considered valuable.  It was a rare item, and the price of such a thing would definitely not be low, so Meng Zitao felt a little unenergetic.

    For Shu Ze, he really likes these things. For him, money is not an issue, the key is to be real and precious, and the things here seem to meet his requirements.

    So, Shu Ze pulled Meng Zitao around and helped him do the appraisal.  Meng Zitao had the right to add experience to himself.  After wandering around like this for a while, Shu Ze also gained something.

    Shu Ze paid for a white jade poetry plaque from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Meng Zitao noticed a large group of people gathered around a stall not far away. Everyone seemed to be chattering about something, and from time to time they were talking to each other.  Pointing at the stall.

    Out of curiosity, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze walked over together. When they took a closer look, they discovered that there were several pieces of wood placed on this person's stall, and they were all agarwood. Meng Zitao suddenly realized that this person was  They are selling agarwood.

    Agarwood and agarwood are not the same thing. Agarwood is a mixture of oil and wood fiber secreted by the tree after the agarwood is injured. Some people may be wondering, why buy this agarwood?  One word, gamble.

    Everyone has heard of gambling on stones, gambling on walnuts, etc., and gambling on Wenwan is the most popular thing now. It is thrilling and is the favorite of players from all walks of life.

    ??Betting on agarwood, as the name suggests, is to buy the embryo of agarwood, that is, agarwood, and then cut the material yourself.  Those who bet on agarwood want to carve out a piece of oily water with one knife. For example, if they bet on Qinan, if they win, the value will naturally be astronomical.

    Of course, gambling on information is very risky. If you are not careful, you will bet on bad information and lose everything.  When it comes to gambling, you have to maintain a peaceful mind, and you have to be able to afford to lose when you can afford to play.

    However, in the literary and entertainment circles, there are always some instances where gambling materials have made a lot of money, which really makes many players excited. Therefore, many people, especially those rich and stubborn, are quite bold in their actions, often tens of thousands or even a few dollars.  With a hundred thousand dollars worth of big stuff, of course there are definitely many people who will lose the bet.

    Last month, Meng Zitao heard that a big boss from Ling City went to Qiongdao to inspect a project and happened to come across an agarwood embryo that looked "old, weak, sick and disabled", so he decided to take a gamble and spent 20 million to buy it.  Unexpectedly, after cutting it open, it was discovered that although the appearance and interior of this piece of agarwood was damaged in many places, and it looked very old, there was actually no grease in it. This suddenly cost the person 20 million!

    "Is this a bet on agarwood?" Shu Ze raised his head and took a look.p; "Made, why is this kid always unexpected!" Luo Haixu couldn't help but cursed, but when he thought about it, he still chose the wood according to the original plan. He didn't believe it, and he would always be unlucky!

    ¡°You¡¯ve made your choice, let¡¯s go and untie it.¡±

    Shu Ze had full confidence in Meng Zitao, and the group went to unravel the raw materials together.

    There are more machines, so they don¡¯t have to dismantle materials one after another. Moreover, dismantling wood is not as troublesome as dismantling stone, and the results can be obtained quickly.

    "What! Why didn't I think of this?" Luo Haixu was overjoyed when he saw his result. Then when he looked at Meng Zitao, he was suddenly stunned.

    Shu Ze laughed loudly: "Zi Qinan! Zi Tao, you are really awesome!"

    Meng Zitao smiled lightly, not feeling proud about it.

    ??Purple chinensis is one of Vietnam¡¯s specialties.  It is also a kind of Vietnamese cooked agarwood. The flesh of Vietnamese purple chinensis is reddish-brown, and its taste is numb and bitter.  Those with high and uniform fat are top-grade. They can be divided into two types in appearance. One is grey-purple in the form of slabs; the other is red-purple in the form of twisted threads.

    Purple chess pieces with gray-purple plates are extremely rare and can be called the best among purple chess pieces.  Its initial fragrance is light and floral, and after five or six minutes it turns into an unforgettable strong sweet-cool fragrance, with an almond-like finish.  As for the reddish-purple twisted filament-shaped Purple Phyllanthus, the initial fragrance is also elegant and floral, the main fragrance is warm and mellow with almond fragrance but no coolness, and the tail fragrance has obvious frankincense.

    Both of these two kinds of chess nan are beautiful, but Meng Zitao personally prefers the gray-purple plate-shaped chess nan, and this one is just like this. Its value can definitely compete with the top-quality green chess nan from Qiongdao, while the red one is  Purple chess nan is more common.

    Because the humidity of Qianzhong Qinnan is very high when it is unearthed, its appearance is somewhat similar to that of soft red soil that has not yet dried out, and its aroma is all scented with almonds, so it is very easy to confuse people.  In short, the scent of chess nan will change before and after, and there will be frankincense, but red soil will not. You should distinguish it carefully, otherwise it will not only be wrong but also make a joke.  Obviously, the seller sold the Ziqinan wood as red earth sunken wood.

    "Okay, we can make a choice."

    Luo Haixu could only agree with a sullen face and let Meng Zitao choose. Fortunately, the items in his hand did not cost much, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss.

    After a while, Meng Zitao chose a piece of jade. Even though this jade looked less precious than others, it actually had an extraordinary origin and was the work of Qiu Chuji.

    Anyone who has read Jin Yong's novel or the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will probably be familiar with the name Qiu Chuji.  Taoist priest Qiu in the novel can be said to be chivalrous and courageous, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and his martial arts is also top-notch among the Quanzhen sect.

    The beauty of Jin Yong¡¯s novels lies in the perfect combination of fiction and reality.  Many of the characters in the novel actually existed in history.  For example, the Taoist Qiu we are talking about now.  But can you think of it?  Historically, the real Qiu Chuji was not only the leader of Taoism, but also the originator of jade carving.

    It should be said that Qiu Chuji first learned jade carving from a Taoist priest. After the Taoist priest passed away, he followed his will and continued to travel around the world, focusing on jade carving. He worked hard to learn a variety of craftsman skills, and also learned how to shape jade.

    After the capital was established in the Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji came to the capital and settled down in Baiyunguan.  Although the capital city at that time was already the capital of the country, it was not very prosperous, and the craftsmanship of jade carving was far behind that of Jiangnan.  Especially after years of war, many poor people have lost their means of livelihood and are struggling to survive.

    After Qiu Chuji settled in Baiyun Temple, he devoted himself not to preaching scriptures but to making jade articles.  He draws on the strengths of many families, and the jade pieces he makes are all outstanding and have a unique artistic style.  This caused all the officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen and rich people in the capital to rush to buy it. Everyone was proud to own the jade made by Qiu Chuji.

    ¡°Moreover, Qiu Chuji also specially selected some young people from poor families to teach them the jade craftsmanship.  Due to Qiu Chuji's advocacy and cultivation, the jade industry in the capital gradually developed and expanded, and Baiyun Temple became his training center.  At this point, he has become the ancestor of Beiyu.

    However, due to various reasons, Qiu Chuji¡¯s jade carving works are not heard to be handed down. Now people can only get a glimpse of Qiu Chuji¡¯s jade carving style and level from the jade carving works of the Yuan Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
