Chapter 37 Playing Walnuts
Not long after, Qi Nianci had already let the sable lift his vigilance and could play together, which surprised the three villagers and Zhou Wentao, and was amazed!
Seeing that Yang Fan was still looking at the two walnuts in his hand, a villager couldn't help but ask, "What's so special about this walnut?"
Even if it's special, how special can it be? Let you watch it for so long.
Yang Fan handed over the walnuts: "Look, are these two walnuts the same? ”
Everyone took it over and took a closer look, and it was really as Yang Fan said, the two walnuts were almost identical, and they were surprisingly similar in appearance, feel, and even quality.
"Hey! ”
"You see, these textures are all the same. ”
"Isn't his uncle's really twins?" Zhou Wentao joked. I haven't heard of fruit having twins, but I just think it's funny.
The man who held the gun before returned the walnut to Yang Fan: "You are really careful." It's quite similar, but it tastes like it, nothing special. ”
Yang Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "This thing is valuable! You can't eat it like this." ”
Such a superb walnut is really a tyrannical thing to eat. The two walnuts in his hand are what the circle calls the "lion's head", which many people like.
As soon as these words came out, the others were confused for a while: Valuable? How valuable is it? Isn't it just like a little bit? But it's still walnuts? Can you still play with them if you don't eat them?
Yang Fan rotated the two walnuts in his hand regularly in the palm of his hand.
This action immediately reminded Zhou Wentao of something, and immediately understood why it was valuable.
"What is this called? Let me think about it, last time I saw an old guy playing with two jade beads!" Zhou Wentao scratched his head, trying to remember.
The three villagers are also loyal viewers of the TV series, and they also remember something, but they just can't tell what it is.
"It's called a palm bead. Qi Nianci said in one word.
She is a student of traditional Chinese medicine, and palm beads are a palm movement in traditional Chinese medicine, so she naturally recognizes it.
In the process of playing walnuts, use the spikes, protrusions and edges of walnuts to press the acupuncture points on the palm to achieve the effect of relaxing the pulse and strengthening the body. Some elderly people rub walnuts in their hands and do some hand exercises while exercising their brains, with the aim of reducing the rate of aging.
Yang Fan nodded: "In our collection circle, it's called Wenwan Walnut." ”
He told everyone that the walnut is a collectible walnut formed after the selection and processing of walnuts with special types and characteristics. It originated in the Han and Sui dynasties, was popular in the Tang and Song dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. People in the antique shop call it "fitness walnut", also known as "palm beads", which can not only keep fit, but also for people to enjoy.
"Listen. ”
Yang Fan took two walnuts and knocked them together, making a sound like metal colliding.
"Sonorous ......"
"How do you feel when you touch two pieces of iron together?" the villagers couldn't understand.
They found that a lot of strange things happened today, subverting their perception of the world. First a piece of wood turned into stone, and then a walnut shell turned into steel.
"Explain that this is a good article to play walnuts. Normally, it's muffled, and it can't be used for play, it's just a food. Yang Fan explained.
The two walnuts in his hand should be hemp walnuts, which are more precious.
Because it has reached a high standard in terms of individuality, color, shape, quality, etc., and due to the scarcity of wild walnut production, it has become the object of people's pursuit and collection throughout the ages. Of course, the market price is naturally not low, generally ranging from more than ten yuan to several thousand yuan, and some are as high as tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 yuan.
And due to the reduction of wild tree species, the price of good varieties of hemp walnuts is still increasing rapidly every year, so that it has become a new hot spot in people's collection, value-added and playing.
"How much is it worth?" asked the somewhat dark villager curiously.
The three of them felt that they had gained a lot from entering the mountains together this time, and this knowledge alone could point out a path for them to become rich in the future.
Sinking wood is relatively rare and difficult to find, so forget it. But they have a lot of wild walnuts here! When the time comes, they will go in and try to find some good ones, which is a way to make money, which is much better than farming in the village.
When the other two villagers heard this, they also pricked up their ears, their eyes shining.
"These two are the rarest lion heads in hemp walnuts, and the two are strikingly similar, which is considered the best, so the price will be relatively high, and more than 100,000 may also be wanted. Yang Fan didn't hide it, he knew what these three guys were thinking.
However, he is happy to see things like being able to help others without harming his own interests.
The eyes of the three people instantly widened: God, this is too exaggerated, right?
The fact that walnuts can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan is simply appalling and unheard of! Go back and tell those people in the village that I am afraid that they will be regarded as psychopaths, make money, and daydream!
Zhou Wentao and Qi Nianci were not very surprised, in the city, there were many valuable things. A stone, maybe a few million, is not unseen.
Of course, it's strange stones, the art of nature.
"What do you think of these walnuts?" asked one of the villagers eagerly.
Yang Fan was not stingy and told them some tips.
There are many tips for selection, and you can start from many aspects.
The first is the sense of touch, take a pair of walnuts and put them in your hands to beat, that is to say, relative to its volume, the amount should be enough. Walnuts are lightly fluttering in the hand without weight, generally indicating that they are not ripe, and it is possible to pick them on a hot day, that is, six ripe, so do not get new walnuts in September every year.
"Oh! it's not the perfect cook. "The black man took it to heart.
"Take it in your hand and rub it, if the so-called sound of gold and stone, that is, very real and tough, it means that it is a ripe wild walnut, if it is the empty sound of Pilapira, it is mostly grafted. To use an analogy, it's like the difference between a solid wooden ball and a ping-pong ball rubbed in your hand. If you feel that the walnut skin is soft, it is generally said that it was picked early. Yang Fan continued.
"The texture is more complicated, and it is not easy to explain clearly, so I can only give a simple example, for example, the lion's head, the reason why it is called the lion's head, then as the name suggests, its texture should be like lion hair, that is to say, there should be a winding flower, or twisted flower, not like an ordinary straight texture. ”
Everyone looked over, observed the walnuts in Yang Fan's hand, and remembered this appearance tightly.
Also, generally speaking, good walnuts have a delicate and hard texture and are heavy in the hands. The sound of new walnuts should be crushed porcelain, and the old walnuts should be kneaded as warm as jade, and the sound of collision is like jade.
After saying a lot, I don't know how much these three people remember. After resting enough, everyone continued to go home.
