Chapter 193: The Gambling Tree (4)

"This tree is considered to be abandoned...... Lao Gu took out a caliper, measured the size of the heartwood at the root of the tree, and after putting down the caliper, he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

The diameter of the heartwood is only three centimeters thick, although it is a little thicker than chopsticks, but it is also useless, at best it can only make some beads, and the size can only reach 2.0 at most.

"Old Gu, there is not much material for the roots, maybe the trunk is different......" Seeing Lao Gu's depressed expression, one of his friends said, this person doesn't know how to gamble on trees, and thinks that the heartwood contained in the trunk and roots are different.

"Lao Liu, the grid in the trunk will only get thinner and thinner, and it is no thicker than the ...... of the roots" Lao Gu shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at Ah Ming next to him, and said: "Ah Ming, cut this tree for me, one meter saws a section, and divides it into six or seven sections......"

After playing Huanghuali for so many years, Lao Gu can now conclude that this tree has lost the bet by itself, but if the quality of the heartwood in the trunk can be better, the grid produced by this tree can also make five or six strings of beads, which can make up for the loss to some extent.

"Old Gu, the surface of this tree is not very good......"

When Ah Ming sawed open the trunk of the whole tree, he was also a little speechless, the original grid at the root of the tree was very thin, who knew that the grid on the trunk was even thinner, and when it came to the last two meters, it was really only the thickness of chopsticks, and Lao Gu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Damn, it's good to be able to punch out two strings of beads......" Looking at the trunk that was divided into sections, Lao Gu would want to cry without tears, this huanghuali tree bought for more than 10,000 yuan can be said to be worthless.

"Ah Bao, this tree is a thousand yuan for you, do you want it?" Lao Gu turned his face to look at Ah Bao, although the grid was avocado, but with such a little material, Lao Gu didn't bother to peel off the outer bark of the tree to take the heartwood inside.

"Okay, Lao Gu, I want it......" Ah Bao nodded and agreed, he calculated, in addition to making two strings of beads, the grid in this tree can also make some small-sized Buddha beads, and it should not be a problem to sell them for two or three thousand yuan.

The Huanghuali tree that was bought for an average of more than 17,000 yuan lost 16,000 in a blink of an eye, and the eyelids of the onlookers jumped in this huge contrast, and Zhao Hongtao secretly called luck in his heart.

"Fortunately, Lao Man said that sentence and stimulated Lao Gu, otherwise I would have lost money......"

Zhao Hongtao would be very happy, because he had already seen it when he called for 30,000 before, when he called 30,000, Lao Gu was a little hesitant, if it weren't for the words of the Manchu army that made the other party unable to get off the stage, it should be himself who opened the tree now.

Zhao Hongtao and the others were shocked, but Ah Ming always organized a tree bet three or five times a year, and he was accustomed to this situation, and after putting those sawn trunks to the side, he opened his mouth and said to Lao Gu: "Boss Gu, since it is a gamble, there are losses and wins, and you can't open this tree?"

"Amin, this tree is sawn straight from the middle......"

Lao Gu nodded, he didn't doubt the origin of this tree, he had dealt with Ah Ming for so many years, he knew that this kid would not make the kind of Huanghuali from elsewhere to pretend to be Shishan Huanghuali.

"Huh, Gu, this tree can make you get some money back......" Ah Ming let out an exclamation when he sawed open another tree.

"Hmm, what's wrong?Is it out of the purple avocado?How thick is it?" Lao Gu, who hadn't even come up at all, hurriedly ran over after hearing Ah Ming's words, but when he squat down and saw the sawn cross-section, his face showed a disappointed expression.

"Amin, this is the material of the bran pear, not to mention that the oiliness is not big, the pattern is not good-looking, and ......it can't be sold for much money."

Although the heartwood shown in the heart of this tree is six or seven centimeters thick, the color is very light, the oiliness is not enough, and in the center of the heartwood, there is a little crack, at best it is only a middle and lower quality huanghuali.

"The rest are still sawed or not?"

Ah Ming pointed to the trunk of the tree and said, "If there is this kind of heartwood inside, you can make two or three crutches out, and you can also make a random ornament at the root of the tree, and it will be no problem to sell it for thousands of dollars in total......"

Ah Ming's opinion is very pertinent, although the heartwood of this tree is an average quality bran pear, but the bran pear is still very beautiful into a cane, and when the time comes, it can be sold as a handicraft of high-grade huanghuali when it is polished and polished and then sealed with wax.

"Let's see it all open, Ah Ming, just do as you say......" Lao Gu knew that he had lost his gambling this time, and his interest was not very high, in fact, he didn't care if he lost tens of thousands of yuan, but he just felt that he had lost face in front of a group of friends.

"Old Gu, do you still want this material?" Ah Bao came up with a smile and said, "If you don't want it, sell it to me for 3,000 yuan......

"You think beautifully, I'll make two crutches and give them away, and make a carving of the remaining tree roots, nothing to do with you......"

Lao Gu glared at Ah Bao angrily, Huang Huali's crutches are not a common thing, and when the time comes, it will be considered a very expensive gift for him to give away, and besides, he has spent tens of thousands of yuan, and there is no shortage of the three thousand yuan.

"Boss Gu, I don't know if you can sell me the crutches you made?"

Seeing that Lao Gu refused Bao's move to buy materials, Zhao Hongtao didn't want to speak, but thinking that the mother of a big leader in the province was about to celebrate her eightieth birthday recently, he suddenly moved his mind.

However, what makes Zhao Hongtao a little dissatisfied is that this crutch can only be made into a straight handle and cannot be made as a whole, and he also needs to be equipped with other materials to make a handle of the crutch, which has lowered the grade of the crutches a lot.

"Boss Zhao, I'm sorry, I also plan to give away this crutch ......"

Lao Gu lost two trees in a row, which would be unhappy, and without thinking about it, he refused Zhao Hongtao's request to buy crutches, saying that his net worth of tens of millions does not need to make up for the loss by selling these things.

"Okay, Boss Gu, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this time it can only be said that it is bad luck, don't care......"

Zhao Hongtao was not very satisfied with the material of this tree, and he was not angry when he was blocked by Lao Gu's words, but comforted the other party with a lot of generosity.

"Do you bet or not?" After comforting Lao Gu, Zhao Hongtao focused his attention on the trees behind.

When Zhao Hongtao had never seen the gambling tree, he only wanted to see it, but now that he saw it, he knew that the risk of gambling on the tree was actually not inferior to that of the gambling stone, and the difference between the two was that the capital demand for the gambling stone was greater.

"What Boss Zhao said is that today's luck is really not very good......"

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Lao Gu was a little embarrassed, compared with Zhao Hongtao, his measurement was inevitably a little smaller.

However, when Lao Gu accidentally saw a few other trees on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Zhao Hongtao and said, "Boss Zhao, do you want these two trees in the middle?" If you don't want it, I'll buy it again and see what kind of material can be produced inside......

Like gambling, since the gambling tree occupies a gambling word, there will be a psychology of turning over the gambling loss, just like a gambler who loses a lot of money at the gambling table, he will often put his whole net worth up again, in order to win back the lost money.

Although Lao Gu is not like a gambler, his psychology is somewhat similar, and after making sure that the two trees he bought lost the bet, he wondered if he could make up for it on the other two Huanghuali trees of fifty or sixty years.

However, Lao Gu spoke before, and he didn't want the remaining trees, and now if he wanted to buy the other two Huanghuali trees, he needed Zhao Hongtao's nod.

"Boss Gu, I came all the way here, and I still want to gamble......" Although I saw that the two trees that Lao Gu bought were gone, but I came here by plane, if I didn't bet on the two trees to see, Zhao Hongtao always felt a little panicked.

"Amin, I want these two trees......"

After making up his mind, Zhao Hongtao turned his head to look at Ah Ming, who had just finished sawing Lao Gu's material, anyway, it was only a matter of 12,000 yuan, if he lost the bet, Zhao Hongtao would treat it as if he had bought something and took medicine to pay for tuition.

"Okay, these two trees are 12,000 yuan, Boss Zhao, do you want me to help you saw?" Although there is no Lao Gu to raise the price, Zhao Hongtao is still willing to continue gambling when Lao Gu loses the bet, and Ah Ming is still very happy.

"Wait, I'll take a look first, go back and let my little brother saw, I won't bother you......" Although Zhao Hongtao decided to buy the tree, he was psychologically unwilling to let Ah Ming open the tree, he is also the kind of gambler who loses money and wants to change the banker's mentality.

"Fang Yi, what are you doing, come, help me take a look at these two trees......

Zhao Hongtao glanced around, but didn't find Fang Yi, and looked carefully, but found that Fang Yi was squatting next to the few sections of tree trunks sawed by Lao Gu, touching the rough bark with his hands, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Brother Zhao, I don't understand Huanghuali, you asked me to help me see it, that's purely asking Yu Blind......"

Hearing Zhao Hongtao's greeting, Fang Yi walked over from those trunks, joking with Zhao Hongtao, but Fang Yi's heart was unusually surprised, because he found that his True Yuan could actually find the difference between the white wood and the heartwood in the trunk.
