Chapter 32 Playing Walnuts

A plant that claims to be able to bloom eighteen colors, I have to say, anyone will be attracted. Yunshan is no exception.

What's more, the eighteen flower bones on this camellia have not bloomed or withered for three years. This made Yunshan even more interested.

Yun Shan decided that if possible, he could try to buy this camellia, as long as the price was not too outrageous.

That's why Yun Shan asked.

"Yunshan, do you want to buy this camellia?" Old Uncle Yang and the others were a little surprised, and they didn't quite understand why Yunshan wanted to buy a camellia that couldn't bloom.

"I want to try it, as long as the price is not too expensive, I can buy it back and play with it!" Yun Shan nodded and smiled.

"Then I'll help you ask!" Liu Haibo offered to help Yunshan take the lead,

"Then thank you, Mr. Liu!" Yun Shan smiled and expressed his gratitude.

Doing business is like this, you have to ask for directions first, especially for items such as flowers and cultural toys, there is no fixed price, and it is easy for sellers to temporarily increase the price according to the buyer's intentions. Therefore, if you fancy a good thing and want to buy it, you must not be too eager, you must send someone to explore the situation first, and then negotiate the price.

After a while, Liu Haibo came back, his face was a little ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard's heart is too dark, don't talk about it if it's less than a million." ”

"He's crazy, a rotten camellia sells for a million? No one wants 10,000 yuan! Old Yang Tou exclaimed.

"Don't say 10,000, it's just a hassle to take care of it for nothing!" Lao Li said disdainfully. Indeed, in his opinion, the greatest value of camellia lies in the flower, if it can't bloom, then it is better to buy a fruit tree! Anyway, how many fruits can you eat every year, right?

"A million! It's not too expensive! Yun Shan muttered to himself.

"If that flower can really bloom in 18 colors, let alone a million, even 10 million will never be able to buy it. But didn't you listen to Brother Yang? That flower is fake! Liu Haibo exclaimed, "You don't really want to buy it, do you?" You are crazy! ”

"Don't worry! A million is nothing to me, but I don't want to spend a million on a meaningless thing! Yun Shan said with a smile. Although he can now earn millions a day, it doesn't mean that he will take a million and waste it casually, which is not in line with his character.

Old Uncle Yang and the others were also slightly relieved, they were really a little worried that Yun Shan would have a hot brain and gamble with one million.

Although he is unwilling to spend a million to gamble, Yunshan does not intend to give up just like that, and it is the king to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit. He decided to find an opportunity to make a branch or a bud on this camellia, he believed that with the help of spiritual water, he would be able to give birth to an identical or even more perfect camellia, and then he would know if this flower was the real Eighteen Bachelors.

At this moment, Uncle Yang met a few old men, who were obviously acquaintances, and they were chatting happily together.

Yun Shan felt bored and took the initiative to say, "Old Uncle Yang, you talk, I'll go shopping first." ”

Yun Shan browsed around the region while looking for flower owners to buy flower seeds. Originally, he planned to get a few flower branches or something while people were not paying attention. But it turned out that it was almost impossible, except for some large and leafy varieties such as camellia, most of the other flowers on display were very well cared for, let alone a branch, even a leaf could not escape the eyes of the flower owner.

Therefore, he simply gave up the plan to take the sheep by the hand, and retreated, and after fanciing which flower he liked, he went to the owner of the flower to buy seeds. The people who can come here to exhibit are all treasures, so the seeds in the hands of these flower owners are also extremely precious, and it is difficult to find them on the market. The price is also a lot more expensive than ordinary seeds, but for Yunshan, it is all small money, and it is not distressing.

But there are exceptions, some flowers are not bred by seeds at all, or the owner of the flower does not have seeds. For example, the owner of the eighteenth bachelor's plant, called Lai San, the flower was planted by his father, and Yunshan also asked, just such a plant, which was made by his father from the mountain, and it has never bloomed, let alone the seeds. Since this is the case, Yun Shan can only be a gentleman on the beam once, and when the other party is unprepared, he pinch off a bud the size of a fingernail.

Yunshan found that the more expensive the flower seeds, the fewer there are, and many flowers with a price of more than 100,000 yuan have no seeds, and even more than one million yuan, he has seen several kinds, but he can't get his hands on them, which are a superb national orchid; A pansy that blooms red, white, and purple at the same time, and is called "Liu Guanzhang"; There is also a dreamlike purple Sleeping Fire Lily, only the owner of the Sleeping Fire Lotus said that he had collected a few seeds in his hand, but he did not bring it with him, and he would send it tomorrow.

At this time, Liu Haibo, who just didn't know where to go, suddenly ran back and said mysteriously:

"Cloud Mountain. Let's go, I'll take you to a fun place! ”

"What place? Mysterious and mysterious? Could there be any place in this exhibition that has more scenery than the special exhibition area? Yun Shan said strangely.

"Haha, although the scenery in the special exhibition area is unique, the real good scenery will not be seen until tomorrow. Now when it comes to the most fun place, it's definitely that! You come with me, and I'll make sure I'll let you know a lot. ”

Liu Haibo led the way, while squeaking with the two wooden bumps in his hands, and said with a little show-off: "Yunshan, do you know what this is in my hand?" ”

Yun Shan looked at it carefully, his face was slightly strange, and he said hesitantly: "It looks like a walnut!" ”

The two walnuts looked fresh, and there was a smell of green juice on them, which must have been picked from the tree not long ago. Liu Haibo has nothing to do, what are you doing with walnuts in your hands? Could it be that you are hungry? But the freshly picked walnuts have a bitter inner skin and don't taste good.

"That's right, it's walnuts! Don't underestimate this pair of walnuts, I just bought them for 20,000 yuan, if it weren't for my quick eyes, I wouldn't have been able to grab it! Liu Haibo smiled, his face full of pride.

Twenty thousand! Yun Shan was stunned! Spend 20,000 yuan on fresh walnuts? You city people really know how to play. Although he is now considered a rich man, Yun Shan still feels that he can't keep up with the rhythm of these rich people!

"This is no ordinary walnut!" Liu Haibo explained, "Wen plays walnuts, have you heard of it!" ”

Liu Haibo saw that Yunshan didn't know much about it, and explained: "Although walnut is a food, it is also a small collection variety in the antique shop, and people in the industry call it Wenwan walnut.

As the saying goes: literati play walnuts, warriors turn iron balls, rich people carry gourds, and idlers go to walk dogs. In ancient times, walnuts were the first place.

Wenwan walnut is a collectible walnut formed after the selection and processing of walnuts with special types and characteristics. It requires a deep and clear texture, and each pair of walnuts should have a similar texture, the same size, and the same weight, so it takes a lot of effort to make a pair, plus the careful carving of skilled craftsmen and the old red formed by years of play, it is even more precious. The biggest difference between walnuts and walnuts is the difference in the selection, oiling, playing, collection and trading.

As the saying goes: literati play walnuts, warriors turn iron balls, rich people carry gourds, and idlers go to walk dogs. In ancient times, walnuts were the first place. Now, you know why I spent 20,000 yuan on this pair of walnuts! ”

"You mean you're playing walnuts with a bunga?" Yunshan suddenly realized, listening to Liu Haibo's meaning, the walnuts are probably similar to antiques, and the price is very expensive. If this pair of walnuts is the legendary walnut, then 20,000 yuan is not surprising, after all, it is equivalent to buying an antique!

"My pair of walnuts has just come out of the green skin, and they are not considered cultural walnuts, only after playing and coloring and pulping, can they be called real cultural walnuts." Liu Haibo said proudly. "My walnut side is 46.5mm, belly 45.3mm, height 47.1mm, is a three-edged special-shaped walnut, commonly known as Daben. Usually, you have to spend 30,000 yuan to get a pair on the market. Today, because it was a good start, the boss gave me a discount. ”

"Then congratulations to Brother Liu, you picked up the leak!" Yun Shan said with a smile. I have also bought antiques, and I know that this line is called picking up cheap and leaking.

"Haha, what kind of leak is this! The guy who sold walnuts to me gambled 200 yuan to get such a pair of the best, and sold it to me for 20,000 yuan, which is called real leakage! Liu Haibo exclaimed, "It's a pity that I don't like to do things that I am not sure of, otherwise I would have gambled a few times, and I might be able to really pick up the leak!" ”

Yun Shan asked with a puzzled face:

"Bet? Can you bet on this walnut too? ”
