What the f*ck?
The Qianlong Emperor's personal seal paste?
Longquan seal paste?
Designated by the Emperor?
Now, you might be wondering, what's the deal with Longquan seal paste?
How much is a gram of this material worth?
Well first, we need to talk about how it is made.
The primary ingredient used for its creation is lotus root.
It is said that just to create 1 gram of Longquan seal paste, one needed to use thousands of lotus roots.
Then, there's also the specially-processed silk.
Just the amount of work done to create the silk was not something that ordinary people could ever hope to achieve.
The labor cost for such an operation was sky high, and the refinement process of the silk could take up to years.
Through these two materials alone, it was clear that creating a boxful of Longquan seal paste would take a gargantuan amount of effort.
