Chapter 11 [Duck's Billed Walnut]
The middle-aged man frowned: "It's a little expensive, can I take a look?" ”
Zou Yue'e said yes and handed him the cricket scout.
The middle-aged man studied the black pearl again and again, and after a while, he looked up at her: "Thirty thousand is impossible, one thousand." ”
Zou Yue'e said: "Twenty-nine! ”
"Two thousand."
"Twenty-eight!"
"Three thousand."
"Twenty-seven thousand!"
"Let's not dwell on it." The middle-aged man smiled dumbly: "That's it, 10,000 yuan, make a friend." ”
After making eye contact with Zou Yue, I nodded and agreed.
As a man, 10,000 yuan is a high price beyond my imagination.
After that, we went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China next to Qiaobei Wumart Supermarket, and after the middle-aged man took the money and handed it to me, he changed hands, and I directly deposited it into the bank card. Looking back, I worked tirelessly for a summer vacation to earn 2,000 yuan, and now, in just two or three days, I have an extra 18,000 yuan in my passbook, which is like a dream.
On the taxi back to the front door, Zou Yue'e answered a phone call, which was made by Grandma Zou, asking her to buy rice and noodles.
Passing by the grain store on the east side of my alley, Zou Yue'e asked the driver to stop, and I also got out of the car and entered the grain store with her, and after settling the account, I didn't wait for Aunt Zou to bend down and help her hold the jade rabbit flower pot, so I took the first step and lifted two bags of rice and noodles packed with ten catties with one hand.
"What are you doing here?" Zou Yue'e snatched it from me a few times: "Whatever you can do, let me take it." ”
I walked forward without care: "It's okay, I'm home in two steps, you can help me open the door." ”
I'm a good person, and when I see someone in trouble, I can't help but want to help, even if my parents have a problem with her.
She twisted the iron ring on the door panel and pushed open the door of the oil-black courtyard, where my mother and Grandma Zou were chatting under the toon tree.
Zou Yue'e crossed the threshold and said with a smile: "I bought two bags of rice noodles, and I also bothered Xiaojing to help me bring them back, look at this trouble." ”
My mother glanced at the heavy object in my hand, frowned, and then smiled: "What's the trouble, shouldn't the neighbors in the street take care of each other, if there are any heavy things in the future, it is also called Xiao Jingna, it's okay, hehe, boy, he just has the strength to do it, don't call him to anyone, you're welcome." ”
"Okay, I'm not polite to you." Zou Yue'e smiled and said, "I'll go out to buy two vegetables in the evening, let's eat together?" ”
"No, I'll cook two more dishes, and you two will come to my house to eat."
"Don't be busy, I'm sorry to keep bothering you."
My mother pretended to be displeased and said, "Sister and sister, what's so embarrassing, you can also taste the craftsmanship of our family's sea." ”
couldn't bear my mother's hospitality, Zou Yue'e and Grandma Zou could only agree with a wry smile, and then asked: "By the way, Sister Cui, I have to go to the customer's house at night, is there a clean bathhouse here?" ”
My mother's arm pointed to the south: "There is a house in the alley opposite, fifteen yuan, but there is a stinky smell in it, it smells bad, hey, why are you going out to wash, isn't the bath bucket in the south house all brushed for you, how comfortable it is to wash with the house, hehe, I will give you two keys in a while." ”
Dinner was eaten on the white marble table in the courtyard, Kung Pao chicken, stewed pork belly, leek stall eggs, pine nut tripe, Liubiju pickles, after dinner, a neighbor aunt from the street came to my mother for a walk, but my mother did not go, but took Zou Yue'e to the south house to teach her how to open the floodgates for bathing.
Hey?
Walking?
After drinking a big bowl of millet porridge, I burped, remembered something, rode my father's 28 bicycle, cheered up with the car repair shop at the mouth of the alley, and rode all the way to Zhushikou Street.
In front of the main square, gongs and drums were beaten, and many old ladies were holding fans and twisting Yangge.
I kicked on the car and stood in front of a few stalls under the overpass. This is the place I suddenly remembered, once today, my mother came back from a walk with her neighbors at night, and told me that someone over there in Zhushikou was very lucky, and bought a pair of walnuts from a stall, and the two walnuts were almost cloned, exactly the same.
There are six or seven stalls, selling clothes, stockings, and elastic bands.
Walking to the only stall selling walnuts, I squatted down and took a few pecans piled together in my hands and looked at them. To be precise, this duck beak variety is a kind of catalpa walnut, also known as duck head, which is mostly produced in the three northeastern provinces and the northern foot of Yanshan, and the Yanjing market is not common, but it is not worth a few dollars. But anyone who has played walnuts knows that there are no absolutes in everything, and if you can match a pair of cloned duck-billed walnuts, it is also of amazing value in the eyes of those who like it.
I looked at the outsider, who was about thirty years old: "How do you sell walnuts?" ”
He said, "Five pieces a piece, ten pieces a pair." ”
I nodded, rummaging through the walnut pile. But after a while, I found out helplessly that this stupid solution was not feasible at all, I didn't have the luck of the man, I couldn't find the clones from these two or three hundred walnuts at once, and even if I had the patience, I wouldn't have the time.
There are more and more people picking walnuts, and there are even many people who pay for them.
But if one of the walnuts was picked up, wouldn't I be dumbfounded?
I smashed my mouth, twisted up the two corners of the square cloth under the walnut pile, and put a bag upward, "Boss, don't sell it yet, let's discuss something." ”
Complaints abounded.
"Hey, what are you doing, I'm picking it up!"
"yes, if you don't let you sell it, you won't sell it?"
The seller was also very upset: "What do you mean?" ”
I said slowly: "Look, you may not be able to sell out of these walnuts in a week, why don't you sell me cheaper?" ”
The boss's face moved: "How much do you buy." ”
"I want it all!"
The boss was stunned for a while, and then looked at me: "I bought a total of three hundred, sold more than ten pairs, and left, well, about two hundred and sixty seventy, if you take them all, give one thousand three, forget it, give one thousand two." ”
When passers-by heard this, they all looked at me strangely, not understanding what I was doing.
I didn't bargain: "Okay, but I don't have cash on hand, you wrap all the walnuts first, and let's go to the bank to withdraw the money together." ”
"Little brother, let me ask." The boss was surprised: "Are you planning to sell it in Panjiayuan?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, "No, I'm going to play by myself." ”
When it comes to Panjiayuan, I think of an incident.
I now have 16,000 yuan on hand, and if I find a cloned walnut and sell it, the funds will almost be enough to participate in the gambling stone of Pan Jiayuan a few days later. In fact, Yanjing can rarely see the place of gambling stones, even if there is, the jadeite wool from Yunnan in Myanmar has flowed into the capital market several times is only some stones picked by others, not to mention the small size, and the jadeite can be rubbed out is very little, and even, it can be said that it is impossible.
But who would have thought that in such a batch of "garbage wool", there was a "ice species" jade second only to the "glass species".
The more I thought about it, the more itchy my heart became, and I couldn't wait to fly to Panjiayuan immediately and wait for that day to come.
