    The stall owner smiled and gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you have such a good eye. This set of books is a treasure! I got it from a scholarly family with great difficulty. When I opened the business, I said  An auspicious number, eighty thousand, how about it?" "Eighty thousand?" Before Chu Chen could say anything, Chu Yulan next to him said in shock: "Boss, you are trying to steal money. Such a new set of books.  It actually costs 80,000 yuan?¡± The stall owner smiled and said, ¡°Girl, you don¡¯t understand. This set of books is from the Ming Dynasty. Do you think it¡¯s been a long time since the Ming Dynasty? It only costs 80,000 yuan.¡±  It¡¯s expensive!¡± Chu Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Boss, since you said that, I¡¯m a little confused. As you said, it¡¯s been hundreds of years since the Ming Dynasty, so why are things still so new?¡± ¡°Haha?  , there are some that are well kept, so we can¡¯t generalize.¡± ¡°Anyway, this set of books is too expensive at 80,000 yuan. At this price, you should sell it to someone else!¡± ¡°Little brother, what do you want?  If the price is right, I¡¯ll give it to you!¡± ¡°I think one thousand is a good price,¡± Chu Chen said.  When the stall owner heard this, he immediately said with an exaggerated expression: "Hey, little brother, this price is a bit outrageous. Are you kidding me?" Chu Chen shook his head and said nothing.  Turning around and leaving, the stall owner definitely did not think that this book was the original Ming Dynasty book, otherwise he would never have offered a price of 80,000 yuan. Therefore, he was fully confident that the stall owner would stop him.  of.  "Hey, little brother, nine thousand. Nine thousand is enough. I'm so greedy for it. You have to let me earn some hard-earned money!" "Six thousand and eight, do you want to sell it or not!" "Yes, yes! Today's  Let's open the business. I'll give you the stuff!" As he said that, the stall owner looked very distressed, but in fact he was already happy. He made a profit of 20 yuan for the items he bought for 300 yuan.  Many times, the speed of making money is comparable to that of betting on stones!  After clearing the money and goods, Chu Chen took the six books and left, walking a certain distance.  Chu Yulan asked: "Brother, this book is so new, it should be from the Republic of China at most. Isn't six thousand eighty a bit expensive?" The implication is that she is not optimistic about this set of things.  Chu Chen chuckled and said: "I don't know how the previous owner preserved it, but this is indeed a set of original books from the Ming Dynasty. Although it looks quite new, the paper and the ancient color on the paper, and this  The ink marks are not fake. "Ah!" Chu Yulan said with a face full of surprise: "Is it really from the Ming Dynasty?" Chu Chen nodded: "Of course, otherwise I will buy it.  Why, wait a moment and see where the light shines. You should know how much this set of books is worth? "After hearing this, Chu Chen gave the price.  Hu Yong and the female bodyguard who were following the two people couldn't help but be speechless for a while, so they didn't talk about the gambling.  How can you buy a few books and earn hundreds of thousands in just one move?  This Young Master Chu is really good at making money!   After all, this is Pingzhou, so I visited a few stalls next.  It was either jade or jadeite, and the quality was not very good. Chu Yulan yawned out of boredom.  After walking for a while, everyone finally saw an interesting stall. Although the stalls were also full of stones, they were some unique-shaped stones. When everyone took a closer look, they realized that they were selling strange stones.  The shapes of these stones are all kinds of strange. At first glance, you may not be able to tell what the stones look like. Only when you see the nameplates under the stones and think about them, you will find that they are a little bit interesting.  There are also many kinds of stones here, such as meat-shaped stones, Qingtian stones and Tianhuang stones. Of course, the latter two are definitely not real, they are just similar. If they were real Qingtian or Tianhuang stones, the stall owner would definitely not put them here.  .  But there are not only strange stones here, there are also some rough stones for sale, but what is sold here is not the jadeite rough stone, but the raw chicken blood stone, and these raw chicken blood stones look like they are all raw chicken blood stones mined from Laokeng.  The Laokeng raw chicken blood stone mentioned here refers to the Changhua chicken blood stone.  Changhua chicken blood stone can be divided into old pit and new pit.  The central area east of Kangshan Ridge, west of Walnut Ridge and Yuyan Mountain in the Hongdong Rock area is Laokeng.  The area from the west of Kangshan Ridge to Greystone Ridge is Xinkeng.  The color of Laokeng bloodstone is fresh, the texture is clear and translucent, delicate and oily. The color of New pit is not bright enough. However, one thing to note is that Laokeng and New pit cannot be generalized. There are old pits in new pits and old pits.  There are also new pits within pits.  That being said, the old pit?After all, it is better than a new pit.  Jadeite has gambling stones, and chicken-blood stone also has gambling stones. Especially now that the raw materials of chicken-blood stone have decreased, chicken-blood stone gambling has become popular.  However, unlike jadeite, the blood color and shape of bloodstone can be judged from the appearance, which is undoubtedly clearer than jadeite. As for the blood volume of chickenbloodstone, it depends on luck, which is somewhat similar to jadeite gambling.  similar.  The performance of the more than 20 pieces of old-fashioned chicken bloodstones in front of me seems to be pretty good, so they are still quite popular.  Not long after Chu Chen and the others arrived, many people came forward to inquire about the price. However, the price of these rough chicken blood stones was a bit expensive, and the stall owner refused to let go, so more people asked and fewer people bought.  Chu Chen didn't do much research on chicken-blood stones, so he simply used Baojue to screen the raw chicken-blood stones. But what he didn't expect was that the quality of these raw chicken-blood stones was really good, and there were actually three of them.  The value exceeded one hundred thousand.  ¡°And what Chu Chen didn¡¯t expect was that he used superpowers on these three bloodstones and made an astonishing discovery.  "Boss, how do you sell these pieces of chicken blood stones?" Chu Chen asked the stall owner, pointing to the three pieces of chicken blood stones after suppressing the surprise in his heart.  The stall owner looked up and said: "The one on the left is 15,000, the one on the right is 18,000, and the remaining one is 23,000. If you want both, I'll give you 55,000." "Can't it be cheaper?  ?" Chu Chen asked.  The stall owner said apologetically: "Little brother, these raw chicken blood stones were borrowed from a friend of mine and used as payment for me, so the price cannot be any cheaper. If it could be cheaper, I would have made it cheaper."  "Chu Chen felt that most of the time the stall owner was telling the truth, otherwise the price of anything in the ghost market would be so exorbitant, so he pondered for a while and agreed to the price.  The three pieces of raw chicken blood stone were not too big, and they only added up to twenty or thirty kilograms. Although Hu Yong was helping to carry the three pieces of chicken blood stone, and they looked quite relaxed, Chu Chen thought about it and decided to go back early.  Come on.  But just when Chu Chen was about to make a call, he saw a stall selling stationery supplies not far away. Thinking that his father¡¯s stationery supplies were not complete yet, he decided to finish looking at this stall before talking about it.  Not to mention, there were several good things on this stall. After asking about the price, Chu Chen was a little speechless. The price was almost as high as that of an antique store, so in the end he only spent 5,000 yuan and chose  I bought a blue and white porcelain penholder from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.  After clearing the money and goods, the stall owner suddenly asked: "Little brother, I have a piece of fine agarwood here, do you want it?" Hearing that there was a piece of fine agarwood, Chu Chen also became interested and nodded.  He responded: "Okay!" Upon hearing this, the stall owner quickly took out a piece of black stuff that seemed to be about two kilograms from a bag beside him and was packed in a transparent plastic bag. Chu Chen was immediately shocked.  Somewhat speechless.  Agarwood, known as the "diamond among plants", has been damaged by animal bites and external trauma, as well as man-made cuts and erosion by snakes, insects, ants, etc., coupled with the external hot and humid environment, causing the wound to be corroded and invaded and parasitized by fungi.  Under the influence of bacteria, agarwood was slowly formed.  The growth period of natural agarwood is extremely long, generally taking decades, and good ones may even take hundreds or thousands of years to form.  It can be said that it is a precious treasure that gathers the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and is accumulated over the years.  Agarwood has strong antibacterial effect, aroma enters the spleen, refreshes the mind and regulates qi, nourishes the five internal organs, relieves cough and resolves phlegm, warms the stomach and spleen, ventilates and relieves pain, and can be used as medicine. According to historical records, in the Song Dynasty, the best agarwood was one or two ounces of agarwood.  One tael of gold; by the Ming Dynasty, it became an inch of agarwood and an inch of gold.  If it is really high-quality agarwood, it is usually measured in grams. With such a large piece in front of him, even if it is agarwood, Chu Chen feels that it will not be much better. It may be artificially cultivated.  The stall owner saw Chu Chen's expression and immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Little brother, don't look at the size of my piece of agarwood, but it is very fragrant. If you don't believe it, just open it."  Smell the plastic bag and see!¡± Although Chu Chen didn¡¯t believe it was a good quality agarwood, he had already seen it, so let¡¯s give it a sniff. What he didn¡¯t expect was that he opened the seal of the plastic bag slightly.  , an indescribable aroma came to his nostrils. In an instant, the aroma penetrated his heart and spleen, and his whole spirit was lifted.  Before Chu Chen came back to his senses, Chu Yulan who was next to him came over and asked curiously: "Brother, what does it smell like? It smells so good!" This made Chu Chen extremely surprised. He didn't expect it.  Just a little bit of fragrance came out, the girl who was two or three meters away from me just nowI can actually smell it, this is simply the best agarwood!  Seeing Chu Chen's expression, the stall owner said proudly: "How about it, my agarwood is good, isn't it!" Chu Chen nodded and tightened the seal of the bag. He was also afraid that others would smell it.  The scent is attracted, which will inevitably cause some trouble.  What just puzzled him was that he had never smelled agarwood before, but even the top-quality ones did not have such a fragrant and unique aroma!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
