Chapter 190: The Gambling Tree (1)
"Boss Zhao, it's okay to help you see, but I don't guarantee that I will be able to gamble roughly......"
Hearing Zhao Hongtao's request, Ah Bao showed a wry smile on his face, since the gambling tree has been stained with a gambling word, it means that luck is far more important than experience, Ah Bao has gambled with Lao Gu several times in recent years, won and lost the bet, and he is not sure about the gambling tree at all.
Therefore, compared to gambling on the tree at a cheaper price, Bao prefers to buy the cut and peeled Huanghuali tree directly, although it is much more expensive, but it does not need to take any risk, as long as it is made into beads or handicrafts, Bao is sure to make a profit.
"Ah Bao, you just need to tell me the year of the tree......" Zhao Hongtao also knew that his plea made Ah Bao a little embarrassed, if Ah Bao would win every bet, then there was no need to bring himself to bet on the tree,
"That's no problem, Ah Ming will also explain it to you later......"
Ah Bao thought for a while, lowered his voice and said: "Boss Zhao, the older the Huanghuali tree, the thicker the grid inside will be, and the fewer branches, the higher the probability of going out of line, you can have a preliminary judgment if you master these points......"
"Ah Bao, there is one more thing you forgot to say...... "After hearing Ah Bao's words, the Manchu army on the side added: "The worse the environment in which the Huanghuali tree grows, the better the quality of the grid inside, Ah Bao, am I right?"
Although it was the first time for the Manchu army to participate in gambling on the tree, he had a lot of contact with Bao before, and he also knew more about the Huanghuali tree, so he might not be able to win if he gambled, but he could still say a few words about the theoretical knowledge.
"Brother Man is right......
Ah Bao laughed when he heard this, pointed at Ah Ming, and said, "But Ah Ming won't tell you which tree you dug from there, he will only tell you which ones he planted at most......
"That's fine, there should be a difference between wild and grown......"
Zhao Hongtao is in his forties, but at the moment he is excited like a child, constantly rubbing the Huanghuali tree on the ground with his hands, and a pair of eyes can't wait to see the situation inside through the trunk.
Just when Zhao Hongtao asked Ah Bao for the knowledge of gambling trees, Ah Ming also came over, he just went to pick some star fruit, and after putting the star fruit on the table under the grass shed, Ah Ming said: "Old Gu, how do you look? Boss Zhao is new today, or ...... Let me talk about the rules first, and then you can see it?"
"It's all the same, you can just talk about the price......" Lao Gu's appearance was even more fanatical than Zhao Hongtao, and after hearing Ah Ming's words, he didn't raise his head and said: "Ah Ming, I came with a hand drill, can you let me drill a hole and see?"
"No, it's all gambling today, and you can't drill holes......"
Ah Ming shook his head, looked at Lao Gu and said: "Lao Gu, we are old friends, this ugly thing is said in front, if you take advantage of my inattention to drill holes in the tree, don't come to our Miao Village again in the future......"
Although the Miao people are very enthusiastic, they will not be polite to those who do not follow their rules, and after hearing the words of Lao Gu with a hand drill, Ah Ming's face suddenly became a little unsightly.
"Ah Ming, look at what you said, is my Lao Gu that kind of person?" Several people next to him could see that Lao Gu still had some scruples about Ah Ming, so he simply took out the hand drill in his bag and said, "It's okay to put this thing there for you, right?"
"Hmm, Lao Gu, I'm not right about people, this time the gambling tree is a full gamble, so I can't drill it by hand......" Seeing Lao Gu hand over the hand drill, Ah Ming's face eased.
"What is Lao Gu doing with that hand drill?" Although Fang Yi integrated into society quickly, he grew up in the mountains after all, and he really didn't know what that hand drill was for, so he asked Ah Bao in a low voice at the moment.
"Hand drill can drill holes in wood, when the time comes from the sawdust brought out by the drill, you can see whether there is a grid inside, as long as you make a few more holes, you can naturally judge the thickness of the grid, and the difficulty of betting on the tree will be greatly reduced......
Ah Bao explained to Fang Yi, he saw that Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun also looked a little puzzled on their faces, and simply said to Ah Ming in a loud voice: "Ah Ming, you explain to these guests what is called full gambling and half gambling, they are new to the gambling tree, and they don't know much about it......"
"Okay, then I'll talk to a few bosses first......
Just took forty or fifty thousand yuan from the Manchu army, Ah Ming's attitude towards the Manchu army is still very good, and he said at the moment: "The whole gamble we are talking about here means that the whole Huanghuali tree does not have any injuries, and we can only judge whether there is a grid in the tree from the appearance......
As for the half bet, that is, you can cut off the trunk, you can look at the grid on the cut surface, according to the thickness of the cut grid, and then bet on whether these grids can penetrate the entire trunk, whether there will be a fault in the middle, whether the pattern will change, this is called a half bet, the risk will be smaller than the full bet......
There is also like Lao Gu, drill holes in the tree by hand, and you can judge the quality of the pear inside through the hole, which is also a half-gambling category, but it is more exquisite than the half-gamble......
The lattice in the yellow pear is actually because of the changes in the structure of the trees that produce oil and oil inside, and the pear is usually divided into two kinds: avocado and bran pear, and the bran pear is more common, and most of the rosewood produced in the general thirty or forty years is the bran pear.
The quality of avocado is higher than that of bran pear, among which purple abase is the best, of course, there are many people who love the tiger skin pattern in bran pear, and the price difference between top bran pear and avocado is not very much.
Experienced people can judge the quality of Huanghuali in a tree as long as a little sawdust brought out by the drill, and Ah Ming is considering that Zhao Hongtao and others are in contact with gambling trees for the first time, so they set the rules of full gambling, otherwise they have no chance to win Lao Gu.
"Ah Ming, the rules are clear, tell me the year and price of these trees...... Lao Gu had already been a little impatient when he heard it, and as soon as Ah Ming's words fell, he opened his mouth and shouted.
"The six trees are divided into three years......"
Ah Ming didn't talk nonsense, walked to the middle of a few trees, and said: "The two trees on the left are twenty-five years old, and they were planted by my grandfather in his yard when I was a child......
The two pear trees in the middle are almost fifty years old, and I dug them from the mountains more than ten miles away, and the two on the right are the yellow pear trees on the stone mountain, which are also the last two remaining trees on the stone mountain, and they are also about fifty or sixty years old......"
"What?Huanghuali on the Stone Mountain?" After hearing Ah Ming's words, Lao Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Ah Ming, didn't you say that the pear trees on the Stone Mountain have long been gone? Why did two more come out?"
As a native of Qiong Province, Lao Gu naturally knows that in the entire Qiong Province, the distribution of Huanghuali in Lingshui area is the least, but there is one thing that is the most famous, that is, the quality of Huanghuali growing on Shishan is much higher than that of Huahua pear trees in other places.
"These two were found on a cliff, Lao Gu, the stone mountain is so big, maybe there will be a few left, you also know that the pear trees on the mountain are difficult to find......"
Ah Ming explained to Lao Gu that although the name of the stone mountain is called Stone Mountain, it is only called because there are more rocks in this mountain and there is a karst cave in the mountain, which does not mean that the whole mountain is full of stones, on the contrary, the woods on the stone mountain are also very dense.
It is not easy to find the pear tree in a mountain full of greenery, because for visual reasons, even if you walk next to the pear tree, you tend to ignore it.
Therefore, although the Huanghuali trees on the stone mountain have been repeatedly cut down by dragnets, there will still be some missing, and after Ah Ming received a call from Bao, he wandered around the stone mountain for four or five days before he found these two huanghuali trees.
"Amin, how much do these two trees on the stone mountain cost?"
The last time Lao Gu saw the Huanghuali tree growing on the stone mountain was last year, it was a two-hundred-year-old tree, and the heartwood that bloomed was not only of good quality, but also very thick, enough to make a set of circle chairs, and was bought at a price of 200,000 yuan.
The person who bought the Huanghuali tree was from Beijing, and Lao Gu once inquired, and after the person placed the tree for more than a year, he made a set of circle chairs with the heartwood inside, and sold it for 800,000 yuan, which tripled after coming and going.
At present, although these two yellow pear trees are not as old as the last time, they are now rare to see fifty years old, and if you are lucky, these two trees may add up to make a good chair.
"The reserve price of the twenty-five year trees is 6,000, and the reserve price of the middle two trees is 12,000, as for the two trees on the stone mountain, the reserve price is 20,000 yuan, and if you want to bet, you can bet on the two trees together, and if you don't sell them separately, several bosses can consider ......."
Ah Ming simply quoted the price of six huanghuali trees of different years and origins, the same huanghuali trees of fifty or sixty years, and the ones that grew on the stone mountain were much more expensive than the others.
