Chapter 76 Stone View
Does the old bark and new branches contain hard work?
Nie Yun's brain turned quickly, and he did think that there was indeed such a saying in some bonsai books. Generally speaking, old trees and new branches are relatively rare in the bonsai world. Therefore, there are generally all kinds of bonsai with old trees and new branches.
Dead trees in spring, old and strong, and with hardships...
Among them, dead wood in spring generally refers to an old pile, which grows a new branch, which is in sharp contrast to the huge old tree stump. On an old stump that looks almost dead from the outside, there is a new branch, which can often give people a sense of joy.
This form of bonsai is also "rotten and magical"!
And when you are old, you are strong. Generally, a large number of new branches are born on an old pile, which is full of vitality and gives people a sense of prosperity.
As for the bitterness, it is a rare form of bonsai.
Old bark, wrapping new branches!
Or, in a tree hole in a rotten old pile, a new branch suddenly appeared, giving people the feeling that the old tree stump consumed all its vitality, just so that this new branch could grow luxuriantly. It's absolutely appropriate to call it hard work!
Now, in front of the wolf's nest, the old pine pile in the weeds is the "staking" tree shape. Such a tree shape, placed before the old wolf's nest that gave birth to the little wolf, can be said to be extremely appropriate. Because of this, Zhao Jianhong said that this old pine pile was valuable!
"Well, this bark is well preserved. The old wolf walked back and forth and grinded the old bark like this, like a root carving... The bark is so intact that the price of this old pile is probably higher. Conservatively estimate, take it out and sell it, tens of thousands of yuan is still no problem!" Zhao Jianhong touched the old pine bark and said with some surprise.
Nie Yun also took a look. The old pine was on the edge of the wolf's nest. The old wolf walked back and forth, and the fur polished the old pile. It really polished the bark of the old stump like the surface of a root carving, which was extremely smooth.
Not only is it smooth, but even on the surface, it seems to be coated with a layer of dark red enamel!
Wooden gadgets, if you play with them from time to time, if they are stained with something on the surface, they may turn dark red. Some old people in the countryside tied a small walnut on their bags and played with it for decades, just like red jade.
After the root carving, the root carving is carved and coated with a layer of red oil, which also wants to show this characteristic.
And this old pine pile is made of a coyote walking back and forth and naturally polished with fur. In the words of the old people in the countryside, I'm afraid it is stained with the spiritual name of the coyote. Those root carvings that are deliberately smeared with red oil can't be compared with them.
The biggest problem with the old piles found in the wild is that the old bark is easy to rot and not solid enough, so the value of bonsai is greatly reduced. This old pine, this old bark is well preserved, and one side is also polished red by the coyote fur, which is a pretty good old pile. Because of this, Zhao Jianhong judged that this bonsai was worth more than 10,000 yuan!
It is worth more than 10,000 yuan. Among the bonsai, it can be regarded as the best.
For example, the old golden osmanthus and the fairy deer ancient pine sold by Nie Yun before are only a "strange" word. It is rare and rare. There is only an old pile of dragon claw golden osmanthus in the whole north, and the ancient pine in the shape of a fairy deer is also extremely rare, so it was sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands and millions.
To put it bluntly, Nie Yun's bonsai before, especially the old golden osmanthus, had a greater hype.
If it is just such an old golden osmanthus introduced by Nie Yun from the south, even if it is strange, it is worth only 500,000 yuan.
And that old golden osmanthus, Mr. Zhou, has been carefully cut for eight years. He fell ill more than a month ago and came back to life. Even so, this old golden osmanthus is worth 1.5 million yuan. That is, Liu Junwei dared to speculate, and the price was raised by 3 million yuan. In addition, Zhuang Yawen dared to follow the price, which only reached a sky-high price of 3.5 million yuan.
In terms of ornamental value, the old Jin Gui may not be much better than this old pine root!
Flower bonsai is often hyped, which is also a major phenomenon in the industry, such as orchids, some rare varieties, even sold at a sky-high price of tens of millions, which are actually hyped.
In terms of ornamental value alone, are these tens of millions of orchids really much better than a pot bought for dozens of yuan?
This answer is definitely no. Personally, I have something good. It is estimated that many people look at ordinary orchids worth dozens of yuan a pot, which is more beautiful than tens of millions of orchids...
Although the "excess and bitterness" of this old pine is also strange, it is just a relatively common plant type. The value is relatively high, but it is not too outrageous. The 10,000 yuan estimated by Zhao Jianhong should be almost its actual value.
"I'm afraid this old pine pile has been going on for at least more than ten years, and it's quite good to make bonsai. Unexpectedly, there are unexpected gains next to this coyote's nest. Brother Nie Yun, take the engineer's shovel to get out this old pine pile, bring some soil, and go back to prune and cultivate it. It's a top-quality plant! At that time, I can't say that I have to compete with the price!" Zhao Jianhong straightened up and smiled at Nie Yun.
This old pile was found by Nie Yun, and even this coyote nest was found by a charcoal ball, so this old pine naturally belongs to Nie Yun.
Even if this is discovered by Zhao Jianhong, Zhao Jianhong will definitely give it to Nie Yun!
If it hadn't been for Nie Yun and Tanqiu, if they hadn't rushed to deal with the coyote by themselves, I'm afraid they would have the way of the coyote. Not to mention the loss of the black man, at least I would have to be a little injured. If you are seriously injured, the consequences will be unimaginable...
To put it seriously, Nie Yun can almost be regarded as his own lifesaver!
Now Zhao Jianhong has got a little wolf cub, which is very contented. It is also a natural thing for this old ancient pine to give to Nie Yun. What's more, Zhao Jianhong didn't look down on the bonsai worth tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't care about it very much.
"In this case, brother, you're welcome!" Nie Yun originally wanted to refuse modesty, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
Zhao Jianhong is bold and free, and he doesn't like to owe others the most. Nie Yun helped him block the attack of the wolf before, and he must have written it in his heart for a long time. This time, if Nie Yun doesn't take this bonsai, Zhao Jianhong will definitely be unwilling. What's more, taking this bonsai, Nie Yun has other uses.
In the last competition with Lao Jin Gui, Liu Junwei lost to Zhuang Yawen.
But this boy wants to get a bonsai for his old man, but he still has the idea of pleasing the old man. It happens that this old pine root can be given to Liu Zhong by Liu Junwei.
Although the value of this old pine root is not as high as that of the old golden osmanthus, it is just a "despous" root type. It is more meaningful for the younger generation to give it as a gift to the elders!
With a military shovel in his hand, Nie Yun looked at the old pine root.
This old pine is rooted in the cracks in the stone, and there are still some difficulties to dig it out.
After thinking about it, Nie Yun did not dig the old pine root at all, but inserted the shovel into a stone crack more than 20 centimeters away from the old pine root. He pried hard, and the mountain stone with the old pine root was also pried and shook slightly.
Digging around the mountain stone one after another, it was just a moment. The whole mountain stone had swayed back and forth. This old pine root was rooted in the mountain stone and swayed with it.
"Ring up!"
Nie Yun grabbed the mountain stone with both hands and violently, and the whole mountain stone was directly pried out by Nie Yun!
This rock is not big and irregular in shape. I'm afraid the longest place is 30 or 40 centimeters. On the rock, there are many cracks and holes. The old pine root was stuck in the mountain stone, and the root also extended to the soil layer under the mountain stone. Nie Yun pried up the mountain stone and brought out a cover of soil below.
"Brother, this old pine root connects this stone and makes bonsai together. What do you think?"
Gently putting the mountain stone on the ground, Nie Yun asked Zhao Jianhong.
"Together with this mountain stone, make a bonsai?"
This time, when he heard Nie Yun's words, Zhao Jianhong's face really changed. He frowned slightly and couldn't help but come forward again and carefully observe the combination of this mountain stone and Lao Song.
Bonsai is divided into mountain stone bonsai and tree stump-bonsai, but there are many mixed bonsai. It is common to have a pine on a high mountain, a strange stone, a small pine on the top, or an old root, and a strange stone on the bottom. Even in some pure tree stump bonsai, there are two pebbles in the flower pot, which is said to improve feng shui... As for the specific statement, it is not for outsiders...
Old pine with rocks, it's not bad, and even, if it cooperates well, it can greatly improve the level of bonsai!
Zhao Jianhong surrounded this mountain stone and looked at it carefully.
This mountain stone could only see a part outside the wolf's nest before, but it didn't show anything strange. Now it was completely dug out by Nie Yun, and a part of the wolf's nest also appeared. At this time, Zhao Jianhong found that part of the rocks in the wolf's nest had been rubbed back and forth by the wolf, which looked extremely smooth. Moreover, it happened to be integrated with the stump of the old pine, which was very suitable!
In addition, the old pine is rooted in the rocks, which shows the harsh living environment.
In such a harsh living environment, it can still give birth to a tree shape with "staking hardships", which is like an old man who can't eat enough to eat and wear, and has to nurture his descendants... This "severance" and "severance" are even more vividly displayed!
"The stone scenery is double... The stone scenery is double..."
Zhao Jianhong muttered, suddenly looked up and looked at Nie Yun.
"Brother Nie pried out this mountain stone together with the old pine. The pine stone matches well, which is excellent. If the bonsai made of old pine stumps can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, I'm afraid that the mountain stone and ancient pine match, and the mountain stone and bonsai are all good. The value of this old pine is enough to increase ten times, or even more!" Zhao Jianhong said to Nie Yun.

PS: I remember that some time ago, a book friend asked whether the knowledge of raising bonsai mentioned in the old fox book is useful in reality.
The old fox here said that the things with common sense surnames are all useful. As for some tricks, such as the preparation of special nutritious soil, don't try these...
As for the online information, online information, there are many fallacies. It is recommended that you treat them differently.
Of course, Lao Hu can't write books by the inventory in his mind. He must consult the materials from time to time. At present, the information in Lao Hu's hands is "Cultivation and Appreciation of Chinese Osmanthus" (first edition in July 2011, Jindun Publishing House, edited by Huang Ying and Deng Rongyan), "The Story of Orchids" (first in January 2009) Edition, China Forestry Publishing House, edited by Mr. Liu Yitao). The selections are relatively authoritative publications in the past two years. As for some early publications or online materials, many of them are outdated, especially for new varieties of flowers. I will tell you what materials will be used in the future.
Finally, still ask for a recommendation ticket...
