Chapter 33 Gambling on Green Skin

Bet on walnuts?

Literally, it is the gambling behavior with walnuts as the carrier. It's just that Yun Shan can't figure it out anyway, how can Walnut bet? It's not a dice, is it possible to compare the size?

Seeing Yunshan's doubts, Liu Haibo said with a smile: "A pair of walnuts, starting from the tree, to being able to start playing, needs to go through a lot of procedures, including: going down the tree, peeling, drying, pairing, and playing with hands.

Betting on walnuts is also called betting on green skin. The so-called green skin is a walnut that has just come down the tree and has not yet shed its skin. When the walnut has just come down the tree and has not yet been peeled, no one can see what it looks like inside, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.

At this time, you rely on your experience to select two pairs of green skins of the same size and shape, negotiate the price, select a pair of green skins, pay the seller, and then the seller will peel off the green skins. If the walnuts are large, shaped, and clear, and the two match, the bet is won. "Buying a pot through the skin" starts at a thousand yuan, and if it is processed into handicrafts, the value will be higher. If the value of the walnut is high, it is a rise, and if the walnut is flawed, it is a loss.

Gambling on green skin, one depends on eyesight, two depends on experience, and three relies on luck. Luck is more important than the first two, so for players to bet on luck and play with heartbeat.

Now with the prosperity of walnut gambling in the walnut market, many people are very hot and impulsive. Although gambling on walnuts but this bet is not the other bet, the general junior players bet on green walnuts is to play, a small bet on pleasure, play good is luck. ”

Yun Shan nodded, roughly understanding what it was like to bet on walnuts.

The principle is similar to that of the Jade Gambling Stone. There is jade in the stone, the price of jade is high, the price of raw stone wool is low, some customers buy jade rough by luck, if the good jade is made after cutting, and the loss is lost if there is no good jade.

So, betting on walnuts and stones is a truth. Although I know that the stakes are very high, there are countless people who rush to it, maybe they are the lucky ones destined by God?

Thinking of this, Yun Shan couldn't help but be interested.

When he was in college before, he also read the news that the gambling stone was called a multimillionaire, and he thought it was very exciting and interesting, although it is not a gambling stone, but it is a gambling walnut with the same effect as the gambling stone, and he can't help but want to see it, if there is a chance, it is not impossible to try to play a few handfuls.

This is like buying ** lottery at a glance, although I know that it is almost impossible to win the lottery, but I still can't help but want to try it.

Liu Haibo walked around a corner with Yunshan, and behind him were two escalators more than ten meters high, leading straight to the basement.

"This is the underground garage of the exhibition, which is different from the outside garage, which is only used inside the exhibition hall. So there are very few people in ordinary times. ”

Yun Shan looked at the empty passages around him, and he had to admire the wit of these people in his heart. The exhibition area is definitely not allowed to gamble on green skins, and the trading area is too narrow, so it has to be said that it is a very good idea for these merchants to choose the location in the empty underground garage.

The two of them turned through a dark passageway, and suddenly came to an underground hall, and the bright lights were a little dazzling.

In the underground hall, there are more than a dozen stalls, each stall is placed with at least a dozen baskets of cyan walnuts, each frame of walnuts has at least several hands at the same time in the flip to select the green skin, in front of each stall gathered less than a dozen people, more than dozens of people, the whole hall is noisy, boiling, at least hundreds of people.

Yun Shan was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect that there would be so many people here. But it's a relief to think about it, the whole flower show came to more than 100,000 visitors, and there were thousands of people in the special exhibition area alone, so it's not surprising that hundreds of people gathered here. And listening to what Liu Haibo just said, gambling on green skins has just started here, and after a while, the news spreads, and I'm afraid the number of people will skyrocket.

Yun Shan followed Liu Haibo all the way through the crowd and came to the innermost end.

It was a huge stall with 30 baskets of green-skinned walnuts in front of the stall and hundreds of people gathered in front of the stall.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, in his forties, and was flanked by two young people, a man and a woman. The man holds a sharp knife with the length of a finger and is responsible for opening the walnuts for the guests, while the woman uses a brush to clean the flesh of the freshly opened walnuts.

Although the two of them are quick with their hands and feet and cooperate tacitly, they are still a little too busy, and there are too many people who choose green skins.

Yun Shan glanced at it and found that the biggest difference between this stall and other stalls was the price.

When Yunshan just passed by other stalls, he saw that the price of green skin in other stalls was almost fixed, the price of each pair of green skin was between 200~500, and the price of green skin in the same stall was the same.

In front of this stall, the price of green skin is divided into several levels. For example, the basket in the middle is the most expensive, 2000 yuan apiece, the quality is also the best, the walnuts are uniform and round, and there are a few walnuts cut in half in the frame, it can be seen that the green skin on the surface is very thin, and it is a top good color.

To both sides, the quality of the green skin is reduced, with the decline is also the price of the green skin, to the outermost two baskets are completely crooked melons and cracked dates, the green skin is potholed and even has insect eyes, and the price has also dropped to 50 yuan a pair.

Liu Haibo's pair of walnuts was bought here, but he didn't open it himself, but a guy who was so lucky that he spent 200 yuan to pick a pair casually, and after cutting it, it turned out to be a three-edged Daben, and he earned 20,000 yuan when he changed hands.

Seeing Liu Haibo bringing people back, the stall owner's big eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile. Their favorite thing about this business is two kinds of customers, one is the repeat customer who brings in new customers, and the other is the customer who gambles on good goods. And Liu Haibo just accounted for both.

The middle-aged stall owner grinned and said loudly: "The pair of three-sided Daben that this boss just collected, worth 20,000 yuan, was picked in these baskets, you have to hurry up if you want to buy it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked excited, and many customers from other stalls also switched to this stall, and other stall owners could only shake their heads and sigh, who let them not open good goods!

The more you buy, the more walnuts you will produce, and the greater the probability that good walnuts will naturally appear.

Sure enough, in just ten minutes, several pairs of good walnuts were opened on this stall one after another, the best pair was in a basket of 2,000 yuan, and the buyer spent 10,000 yuan to buy five and finally got a pair, and the hand was taken away at a price of 30,000 yuan. Although the other pairs did not sell for tens of thousands, there were also several thousand, compared to the thousand dollars that bought the green skin flowers, these buyers were considered to have gambled.

According to the Matthew effect: the good is the better, and the bad is the worse. The middle-aged stall owner's business was overwhelmed by the successive opening of several pairs of good walnuts, and the business of other stall owners naturally declined a lot.

Liu Haibo saw that his eyes were hot, and he went down to buy more than a dozen pairs, all of which were at every price, but unfortunately he only opened a good walnut, in order to make up a pair, he opened dozens of them one after another, spending more than 30,000 yuan in total, but unfortunately he didn't match it.

30,000 yuan is nothing for Liu Haibo, a big boss, just go to the hotel less, but the key is that there is a good walnut in his hand but he is not worthy of it, which feels like raising a good son and not finding a daughter-in-law, and it is not a taste in my heart.

In the end, in desperation, Liu Haibo had to give up the idea of gambling, and found a single accessory from the middle-aged stall owner, and finally made a pair.

There are a lot of such single accessories, all of which are cut by the stall owner himself, peeled the green walnuts that have not been matched, and put them in a large pot for the losers to choose from the walnuts, at least this can reduce the loss of the players betting on the green skin.

However, this is also a middle-aged stall owner's abundant supply, and other stall owners can't do this, because it is not so easy to set aside some good walnuts for pairing.

At the same time, this also confirms the saying that good walnuts are not difficult to find, but the difficult thing is to pair.

Yun Shan watched from the sidelines, and at the same time, he was also carefully observing the methods of others to select green skins, wanting to learn from the learning experience. But this line of work is similar to antiques and gambling stones, the method is dead, it all depends on the individual's eyesight, and the eyesight is exercised in thousands of practices, and it is almost impossible to learn the essence of it just by looking at a few glances.

Therefore, Yun Shan followed others for a long time, and also carefully observed the green skins that bloomed good walnuts, and finally did not learn any good methods.

Liu Haibo bought two pairs of good walnuts today, he was very happy, and when he saw that Yunshan did not end up, he said with a smile: "Yunshan, you also go down to play, if you win the bet, you will lose the bet, and if you lose the bet, it will be mine." The account is on the elder brother. ”

Yun Shan smiled and thanked the other party politely, he is now also worth tens of millions of dollars, and there are millions in the account every day, this little money is really nothing, since he is here, just play and have fun, anyway, it's just to have fun!

Liu Haibo knew that Yun Shan didn't understand this business at all, so he poured out what he knew about gambling on green skins like pouring beans from a bamboo tube:

"The size of the green peel is similar to the first one, and the weight of the two green walnuts is roughly the same, and then look carefully at the base below, which is a very important link. Because many walnuts may not be the fruit of a tree, there are many kinds of bases, such as pointed, pitted, and flat. When you pick, try to choose the same, such green skin is generally grown on the same tree, and the walnut shape inside is similar after peeling, which is easier to match.

Then there is the look at the height of the shell. The older ones tend to have dry and thin skins, while the new ones will be thicker, and the walnuts are small after they are opened, so when choosing walnuts, you must not simply compare their size, which is also a very important link.

Another trick is to find a back hand before betting on walnuts, see if the seller has a single accessory, and if so, quickly find a merchant to match. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to gamble on my own with a tendon like I just did, and I wasted a dozen pairs of green skins in vain. ”

The corners of Yun Shan's mouth twitched, and he just picked it according to what the other party said, only to find that for a layman like him, almost all green skins look the same, just like a patient with strict face blindness who sees a bunch of black people together, dizzy and can't find anything.

For these unreliable theoretical knowledge, Yun Shan could only roll his eyes in his heart. For each basket he took a couple of pairs to prove his feelings. Since the theory is not reliable, he has to verify it with practical actions

Suddenly, he felt a strange aura, an extremely familiar feeling, which shook his heart slightly.
