Xiao Tie seemed to guess Jiulong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, just on the way, you haven't been to my house either, drink a cup of tea before leaving." ”

Since Xiao Tie said so, Jiulong also acquiesced, no matter what, there is no loss in going to see it, most people in big cities don't like to take people home, Xiao Tie doesn't treat himself as an outsider, so naturally he can't let him down: "Hou Lao, Xiao Tie is so sincere, let's go and see it by the way." ”

Of course, Hou Lao had no opinion, so Hou Lao sat in front, and it took less than twenty minutes for a group of five people to arrive at Xiao Tie's house.

Xiao Tie's home is a typical brick and concrete structure house, which belongs to the kind without an elevator, and in Egret Island, it is a bit of a year house.

Xiao Tie helped Hou Lao to walk up the stairs, stopping and stopping, Hou Lao kept panting, fortunately, the floor was not high, and he soon arrived at Xiao Tie's house.

Entering the living room, Kowloon was impressed by a portrait of a great man, Xiao Tie said that his father had been a soldier and had a deep affection for the chairman.

This hall is not big, about 20 square meters, and there are no stones, only a Bogu shelf in one corner, and a few strange stones are placed.

It can be seen that Xiao Tie said that he was not lying when he just played with stones, and after Hou Lao sat down to make tea, Xiao Tie took out a plate wrapped in red silk from the room and carefully placed it in front of Hou Lao.

After Xiao Tie opened the red silk, a flat stone was placed on an antique plate, which was about 20 centimeters long, as if it had been grilled, and its golden complexion gave people a salivating feeling.

Xiao Tie's longing eyes glared at Hou Lao, as if Hou Lao's golden mouth opened, his stone immediately turned into a phoenix.

Hou Lao did not disappoint him, and blurted out: "Peking duck! This stone is a yellow wax stone, the duck head, the duck body is like a real duck has just been roasted, and the size is also suitable. ”

Hou Lao's answer was concise and to the point.

"Old Hou, you can help me see how much it is worth. ”

Xiao Tie hurriedly asked.

"I don't generally give people an appraisal now, the last time the" chick out of the shell "was estimated at 120 million, was made a big fuss by people with ulterior motives, in fact, if one side of the stone is really the best, why not overestimate it? Xiao Huang you should be clear, since the" chick out of the shell "famous, now the number of people who play with the stone is several times more at once, this is the wealth effect, every industry should set a benchmark, so that everyone can see hope, see the future, this is the main purpose of the price of 100 million stones. ”

Somehow, Hou Lao suddenly vomited bitterness, which surprised Kowloon, but if you think about it carefully, what he said does make sense.

"Old Hou, I never listen to other people's nonsense, I only believe you, you give me a rough estimate, everyone here is your own people, and no one will say it. ”

Xiao Tie hurriedly answered, but when he heard these words in Hou Lao's ears, he looked at it carefully, and then said cautiously: "If it is the price in the market, this stone can be sold for at least 100,000, if it is an appraisal, it can be a little higher, and hundreds of thousands is completely fine." ”

These words were like a heart booster, Xiao Tie laughed from ear to ear, he quickly wrapped the 'palace duck' again, and took out a stone from the inside, this stone is not big, very much like a piece of pork belly.

"This meat stone is also good, at a glance, where did Xiao Xu pick it up?"

Hou Lao asked.

"It was the first stone I picked up, and because of it, I became interested in strange stones. ”

Xiao Tie's thoughts returned to his hometown.

……

My hometown is in Ninghua, which is the ancestral land of the Hakka people.

In May 2003, my wife was pregnant with her daughter in her hometown, and I happened to go back to see them on vacation.

My father used to go fishing near his home, and he said in the conversation that he found a small river beach with stones to pick up.

At that time, I was just interested in stones, and when I heard that there were stones to pick up, I naturally wanted to check them out.

So my father and my wife took our eight-month-old daughter and walked slowly towards the goal.

The wind, blowing from the depths of the season, is cool and cool, and with gentle fingers, it outlines the pregnant curves of the lover so movingly.

Not far away, the clear water is clear, sparkling, and the river is running tirelessly and happily!

I walked to the small river beach and began to look for stones, but after looking for a long time, I didn't find a few beautiful stones worthy of liking.

Come to think of it, it is worth it to be happy together as a family, even if you come quietly to listen to the rhythm of the river, feel the cool breeze and beautiful scenery.

Just as he was about to go home, his father actually picked up this pure natural [four-two-belly] wax stone in the grass.

The size of this small stone is not large: 7*8*3cm, and the visual comparison with the real pork belly with the same shape may only weigh about four or two, so it is also named.

As the so-called: the magic of the pork belly, occasionally found by the river at home, the natural creation is interesting, and life is related to the strange stones.

Every time I play with this little meat stone, I always think of the happy time when the child's mother took the baby in her belly with a big belly, but she still walked like a fly, walking with me on the country road.

In life, there will always be many incredible things that will come to meet us.

When this piece of natural [four-two-and-five-belly] wax stone came to my house, my intimate little padded jacket was still just a piece of moving meat in her mother's belly.

And this little meat stone is so close to our family, it came to our house more than a month earlier than my daughter and became my family's "heirloom".

Now that my daughter is seven years old, I often tell her the story of this little piece of meat.

Therefore, the elder would say to her: "Daughter, you have to treasure this little meat stone, it arrived at our house earlier than you, and it is the heirloom of our iron family!"

The daughter will be unbearable and say, "Oh, remember, Dad, why did you say it again." ”

Every stone has a story and a memory.

Behind them, there are traces of time, and wisps of laughter float out.

Every stone is a testimony, witnessing the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, and the constant warm memory of the stars.

Ever since I picked up this little stone of flesh, I've started to fall madly in love with it.

In addition to picking up stones, he has also become willing to pay for good stones, and pay for books and magazines on stone culture, so that his level of stone appreciation will continue to improve.

……

I didn't expect a stone to become so poetic in the mouth of the small iron, he has not regarded the stone as a stone, but as a kind of sustenance, a symbol of family happiness, think about it carefully, the history of the small iron stone is longer than the Kowloon, the Kowloon heart is also mixed, it seems that one side of the ordinary stone, each side has its own story, but how do you interpret it, and it is a friend or a hurrier.

Hou Lao nodded while listening: "Xiao Tie, playing with stones, you should really play with taste, don't keep thinking about how much it is worth, the more you play, the more tired you will be." ”

Jiulong saw that it was not early, and urged Hou Lao to leave quickly, Xiao Tielian said that he would stay for dinner, her lover had already prepared, although it was simpler, but it was also a Hakka taste.

Indeed, when I looked at the stone, time passed so fast, it was already past six o'clock, and Hou Lao and his party did not refuse, and ate it.

Hou Lao also knew that it was not advisable to stay for a long time, and it took less than an hour to fill his stomach.

Xiao Tie sent Hou Lao away with great gratitude, and told Jiulong that next time he came to Ludao, he must look for him, otherwise he would not be enough buddy.

Jiulong smiled, said yes, and a group of four people rushed to Gutian.
