Chapter 189: Bao's Family History

"Bao, you kid is the one who must come every time......"

Seeing Ah Bao, Lao Gu suddenly laughed and said: "Last time on Lao Li's side, I lost to you in a bet, this time let's see who has more vision, but I heard that Ah Ming found a total of six trees this time, we can have a good comparison......"

Lao Gu is about the age of his early forties, he is relatively fat, and when he smiles, his eyes are almost invisible, and after saying hello to Bao, he said with a smile: "Brothers, don't rob me, I have to gamble on it today......

Huanghuali gambling tree, gambling is the material that can be used in the trunk, in their mouths is called grid, no matter how thick the Huanghuali tree, only the inside of the grid can be used to make furniture or make other things.

"It's not like I'm gambling today......"

Ah Bao shook his head with a smile, let Zhao Hongtao and the others out, and said: "These are friends from Jinling, Suzhou Province, Lao Gu, it's not me fighting with you today, don't show me a face if you lose the bet when the time comes......"

"Oops, there's a friend coming......"

Lao Gu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but immediately laughed and said: "Bao, you don't know, my bet on the tree is purely for play, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, let's have a friendly match today, how about the winner go down the mountain and invite ......you to eat?"

Lao Gu introduced Ah Bao to the friends who came with him, these people are not from Qiong Province, but Lao Gu's business partners, and they happen to have something to talk to Lao Gu, this time they are specially here to meet the legendary gambling tree with Lao Gu.

"Lao Gu, it's okay to invite you to dinner, but I can't be the master of the bet?" Ah Bao looked at the Manchu army and the others, as he said, he was helping the Manchu army to receive Zhao Hongtao today, and he would not participate in the gambling tree.

Man Jun is also a scene person, laughed at the moment, and said: "Boss Gu is a cheerful person, no matter who wins or loses in the gambling tree today, I will come to treat you when you turn back and go down ......the mountain."

"Okay, I still have a medicinal wine that has been brewed for three years, let a few distinguished guests taste it today......" Hearing Manjun's words, Lao Gu also laughed, clapped his palms, and said: "Ah Ming, hurry up and take us to see the tree, I can't wait......"

"Okay, please, the tree is in the backyard......"

Ah Ming nodded, took the lead in the front, and when they came to the backyard, they found that the backyard that Ah Ming was talking about was actually a large hillside, but it was surrounded by a fence made of wood, with an area of several acres, and some vegetables were planted in it.

"Ah Ming, your backyard is simply a back mountain...... "Man Jun said with some envy: "It's better to live in the mountains, the houses in the city are like pigeon cages, where is there such a large area......"

"Boss Man, in fact, the mountains are very good, but it's just a little inconvenient......" Ah Ming smiled honestly, and everyone came to a thatched grass shed and stood in front of it, and a few yellow pear trees about six or seven meters long were under the grass shed at the moment.

The branches and leaves of these trees have basically been cut off, but from the root to the trunk of the tree, there is no slightest damage, and there is no clue from the appearance, and no one knows how thick the materials will be in these Huanghuali trees.

"Amin, this time is good, you actually found six trees?"

Seeing the Huanghuali trees under the grass shed, Lao Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, although he wanted to rush over to check immediately, but he still turned to Man Jun and Zhao Hongtao and said, "Boss Man, Boss Zhao, or ...... Let's take a look?"

"Boss Gu, as the saying goes, the guest is as the host, today you are the master, of course you have seen it first......"

Man Jun laughed and snorted, gambling on trees is not to say that whoever looks at it first can gamble out of line, in the end, it is necessary to compete for financial resources, and there are a total of six trees, Lao Gu can't see it alone, but it is better to sell it.

"Haha, Boss Man, it looks like I have to take out the bottle of old wine that has been soaked for eight years at night......"

Lao Gu is a person who is very obsessed with gambling trees, this will already be itchy and uncomfortable, just to be able to give a sentence is good, hearing that the Manjun asked him to see first, he immediately ran to a Huanghuali tree and squatted down.

"This person is very interesting, what kind of business does he have?" Seeing Lao Gu's appearance, Zhao Hongtao couldn't help laughing and asked Ah Bao in a low voice.

"Lao Gu is in the hardware and building materials business, he started to do it in the eighties, and he has opened several branches in Lucheng, which is the richest man in our town, don't look at his big grin, in fact, he is a very good ......."

Although Ah Bao shouted one by one, he had a lot of respect for Lao Gu, because Ah Bao did the business of huanghuali and mountain specialties, and Lao Gu brought him into the industry.

In the early nineties, when Ah Bao had just graduated from high school and had nothing to do, so he helped in Lao Gu's shop, Lao Gu looked at him as a very clever person, and he also liked to take Ah Bao when he went out.

However, in the early and mid-nineties, Huanghuali was not worth much, and did not form an industrial chain like now, and naturally there was no gambling tree, so Lao Gu was just an amateur to play, but his hardware and building materials business was getting bigger and bigger, and he had to run to other provinces all day long, so he could only occasionally go to the mountains to find some Huanghuali to make something to play.

After following Lao Gu for a few years, Bao went to work at a tourist attraction in Lucheng, and when he was working at the scenic spot, Bao found that tourists from all over the world like to buy some zuò gadgets made of the island's specialties, such as coconut ornaments and huanghuali bracelets.

At that time, Ah Bao, who had already studied Huanghuali, knew that the so-called Huanghuali bracelets sold by the scenic spot were actually not made of Hainan Huanghuali wood, and businessmen who were particular about it would use Yue Huang to replace it, but some of them were not particular, and they were sold as Huanghuali by finding some wood to make beads.

Bao is a smart man, and after only one year of working at the attraction, he figured out how selling these tourist souvenirs worked, so Bao quit his job and returned to his hometown, where he found Ah Ming, who had also just returned from working in other places.

Bao asked Ah Ming to go up the mountain to help him find the real Haihuang, and after finding it, Ah Bao would pay for it, and then process it into beads himself, or send it to Haikou to find someone to help him carve it into ornaments and other handicrafts.

In the end, Ah Bao took advantage of the relationship he formed when he was working in Lucheng to send these beads and handicrafts to the counter of the tourist attraction that specializes in selling souvenirs.

At first, Bao's business was not very good, often not sold a week, but with the improvement of people's quality of life, the number of people who know how to do has gradually increased, and by the end of the nineties, Bao's Haihuang handicrafts have occupied various tourist attractions in Lucheng.

As the saying goes, drink water and think of the source, for Lao Gu who brought him into contact with Huanghuali back then, Ah Bao still has great respect for Lao Gu, and Lao Gu's most obsessed gambling tree now is the line that Ah Bao brought him into, and now the two can't tell who is whose master.

"Ah Bao, you're going to help me see these trees later......" When Man Jun and Ah Bao were chatting, Zhao Hongtao also squatted far away from Lao Gu and looked at the Huanghuali on the ground.

It's just that Zhao Hongtao found that these Huanghuali trees with complete bark and branches are completely different from the exquisite Huanghuali handicrafts he has seen.

Zhao Hongtao's experience of the knowledge about the identification of Huanghuali is useless here, saying that through the bark of this tree can not even see whether there is a grid inside, and where can the skin of the Huanghuali be used to identify its authenticity.

As for the so-called tricks of gambling trees that Huanghuali heard from others, after seeing these Huanghuali trees, it is useless, in Zhao Hongtao's eyes, these trees are not different except for the length and thickness of the trees, the rest seem to be completely different.
