Chapter 431: The Last Two Strange Walnuts

readx;

In the 76th courtyard of Mingcui Villa, Li Youran stood next to the walnut tree in the glass conservatory, raising his eyes to look at the only two green fruits left at the top. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Qingguo's size was two sizes larger than his companions in front, and after such a long delay, the skin color finally turned yellow and cracked, and it seemed that it was finally ripe.

What do these large lion heads look like? You'll have to take a look.

Li leisurely thought, moved the ladder, and picked two green fruits from the tree.

The portion is very heavy, and it is significantly heavier than the previous one. According to the general procedure, peel, wash and dry, two dark brownish-yellow walnuts are revealed.

Li Youran took them to the glass round table by the window to take a closer look.

The walnut is very large, and because it is not equipped with vernier calipers, it can only be visually measured, and it should be nearly five centimeters. The body shape is full and solid, the edges are wide and thick, the material is delicate and crack-free, and the condition is quite good.

However, the pattern is very strange, there is no twisted flower characteristic common to the stuffy pointed lion head in front, and it is divided in the middle of the edges, and the surface of the symmetrical half of the walnut on both sides has a wide stripe that winds and spirals upward, and it is raised high. If you look closely, you can see that the sides of the wide stripes still have faint claw-like marks.

On the whole, it actually contains a majestic domineering.

As for the pairing, the two walnuts are in keeping with the tradition, and the appearance is so similar that it seems to be tailor-made.

What kind of breed is this? It's not like a stuffy lion's head. Li leisurely thought about the information he had read, and was at a loss.

He found a tablet and looked it up on the Internet, but found nothing.

It seems that it is better to ask Mr. Qu for advice.

Thinking of this, he put two walnuts in his pocket and went out to the seventy-eighth courtyard.

Old man Qu was receiving guests in the living room of his home, it was a thin old man with white hair, who was in good spirits, and had an ebony crutch resting on his leg.

The thin old man was holding two walnuts in his left hand and a magnifying glass in his right hand, and he was carefully inspecting them.

"Not bad. Yes, a good stuffy pointed lion's head. He nodded his head as he spoke.

Old Man Qu was very happy to see Li Youran. hurriedly asked him to sit on the sofa, and at the same time introduced him to the thin old man.

"Come on, let me introduce, this is the Li family kid I told you. This is the old man Zhang, just like me, and he is also a good walnut. ”

Li Youran greeted Zhang Lao.

Zhang Lao looked at him with some surprise, he didn't expect that the person who planted such a high-grade stuffy lion head would be so young.

The three of them said a few words of homely things. Li Youran immediately got to the point and took out the two new walnuts in his pocket.

"Old man Qu, these are the last two fruits on my tree, they seem to be different from the lion head in front of me, and I haven't checked them on the Internet. You help me palm my eyes. He explained the reason and handed the walnuts to Old Man Qu.

"Oh, there's a new walnut. Let me see. Old Man Qu took it and took it in his hand to look at it.

"It's huge. Rare, enough for thugs. He was amazed by the weight of the new walnuts.

Immediately afterward, his eyes became solemn.

"Hmm. This is not a lion's head. Old Man Qu observed and shook his head slightly.

"Not a lion's head? That... Li Youran wondered, isn't this walnut tree just a lion's head variety, can it still produce tiger heads and official hats?

"It's not really a lion's head, but it's in good quality and very imposing, isn't it... I'm not sure about it. Lao Zhang, you come and take a look. Old Man Qu confirmed again, and then handed the walnuts to Old Zhang.

When Zhang Lao saw such a big walnut, his interest also soared. Hurriedly took it and picked up a magnifying glass to appreciate it.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exuded excitement. He looked at it over and over again, muttered to himself, and then took out a vernier caliper from the leather bag on the coffee table. Measure the size of the walnuts.

"Four eights, hehe, good baby, really grow a good baby." Zhang Lao is happy.

"I wasn't sure what I was looking at just now, but really... Old man Qu wanted to speak and stopped.

"Beaulie!" The two of them said in unison, then looked up and laughed.

"Two, what does this dragon say? I've seen a dragon and tiger head on the Internet, and it seems to be just that. After the two laughed, Li Youran asked suspiciously.

"The so-called dragon and tiger head in the market is a gimmick specially made by some walnut merchants in recent years in order to sell at a high price, but in fact, it is essentially some mutated tiger head. It's not the same thing as the real dragon. Old Man Qu shook his head and said.

"Beaulie, in the folklore of our country, refers to the dragon that lies dormant on the ground and has not ascended to heaven, and Beaulieu walnut is a very rare variety, one in ten thousand. Come and see, on both sides of this walnut, there is a dragon coiled around, this is the head, this is the tail of the dragon, and even the dragon's claws, which are natural and vivid. It's a masterpiece. Zhang Lao explained in detail and beckoned Li Youran to come closer.

Li Youran listened to the explanation, and then looked at this pair of walnuts, it was really unusual, the dragon type was realistic, and he even felt that there was a tendency to go to the sky with wind and thunder.

Old Man Qu and Old Zhang sat together, appreciating and discussing, full of interest, and they couldn't even drink the tea on the table, and they also put Li Youran aside.

It lasted for half an hour before Zhang Lao came back to his senses and turned his head to Li Youran.

"Xiao Li, I want to accept this pair of walnuts, and I hope you will cut your love. Make a bid. Zhang Lao said this, and then looked at him with expectant eyes.

"Xiao Li, if you want to say that this old chapter is an old player, there is nothing else, but you can't see a good walnut, and you are confused at first sight, if you don't need it in particular, you might as well transfer it to him." Old man Qu also helped to persuade.

Li Youran was stunned when he heard this, he just wanted Qu Lao to help him take a look at the quality of the walnuts, but he didn't think about selling them.

But since the two elders have opened their mouths, it is not easy to refuse. Having said that, he is only more interested in hemp walnuts and pays attention to its fitness function, and is far from obsessed.

"Elder Zhang, since you like it, I don't have anything to be reluctant to. But I don't know much about the market, and this price is not easy to come out. Li Youran gave back the right to make a bid, in fact, with Old Man Qu by his side, it is estimated that the other party will not bid casually.

When Zhang Lao heard that he was willing to give up, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and offered a price of 160,000 yuan.

Li Youran was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect a pair of hemp walnuts to be so valuable. However, I have experienced a lot of things, and my psychological quality is far from being comparable to what I was at the beginning. So he nodded calmly in acceptance.

Zhang Lao was afraid that he would have a lot of dreams at night, so he immediately took out his mobile phone, asked for Li Youran's bank account, and transferred the money to him.

And let Mr. Qu be the notary, and the two parties signed a simple transfer agreement.

After the transaction was completed, Old Man Qu went upstairs to find an empty box from the bookcase and asked Elder Zhang to put away the pair of Panlong walnuts.

Zhang Lao was happy in his heart, and explained that Li Youran still had any good walnuts to sell in the future, although he was looking for him, there were many friends in the circle who specialized in playing high-end goods. This Li Youran naturally agreed.

In addition, Zhang Lao also proposed to invite Old Man Qu and Li Youran to the restaurant outside for dinner.

Li Youran refused on the grounds that there were still things at home, and then said goodbye to the second elder and left.
