Chapter 460: Gift-giving (Part II)

Zhang Chongwen heard Zhong Huan say that he would let himself appraise the treasure, and guessed that the gift in the brocade box was probably also a cultural toy such as a bracelet. However, there are too many types of cultural toys in the collection, and he can't guess what is in it without opening the brocade box.

"Xiao Huan, this ...... Is this a lion's head? ”

Zhang Chongwen was stunned as soon as he opened the brocade box, and saw a pair of walnuts with stuffy tips, low piles, large bases, and water dragon patterns in the brocade box, which were at least 45mm or more.

"What lion head? Isn't this a walnut? The lion's head is a ball. "Yuan Fen doesn't know how to collect, so he knows that there is a dish called lion's head in the restaurant.

"Mom, don't interrupt. This lion's head is a type of walnut. This pair of lion heads is big enough, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. Zhang Wei looked at the pair of large walnuts that his father took out of the brocade box and said.

"Isn't this just a pair of walnuts? I buy a dozen dollars a pound in the market, what is worth? Zhang Shumin didn't know how to play, and deliberately belittled Zhong Huan's gift, so she said disdainfully.

"Old sister, what you said is a walnut for eating, this is a fitness walnut for rubbing your hands, it is not a thing at all, don't be timid." Zhang Shulan said a little unhappily when she heard Zhang Shumin belittle her gift.

"Shulan is right, this is a literary walnut, also known as a hand-therapy walnut or palm bead, which is used to play. Although this pair of walnuts is newly planted, the piles are short, the sides are thick, the cortex is hard, the lines are profound, and the size is large, which should be the walnuts produced by the century-old trees. The most rare thing is that this pair of walnuts is very well matched, and there is almost no difference in texture. Xiao Huan, tell your uncle honestly, how much did you spend on this lion head? ”

Zhang Chongwenzai carefully looked at the pair of walnuts in his hand, but he didn't dare to estimate it. This kind of lion head can be said to have a price, there is nowhere to buy it, and occasionally a pair appears in the world, and the seller may offer tens of thousands. It is also possible to offer hundreds of thousands, depending on whether you can meet a suitable buyer.

"Uncle, I'll tell you the truth, I gambled on this pair of lion heads, and I really didn't spend too much money. Just tell me how much it's worth, and I want to see if I made a profit or a loss. ”

Zhong Huan can't say that this walnut was grown by himself. It can't be said that this walnut was bought at a high price, for fear that Zhang Chongwen would be embarrassed to accept it, so it can only be said that it was gambling. The so-called gambling on green skin means that the seller takes the unpeeled walnuts for the buyer to pick. At this time, the size and texture of the walnut are not visible, and can only be estimated by experience. Generally speaking, what you buy is not what you sell, and you usually lose more and make less money when you bet on green skin.

"I don't have a ruler at hand, so let's tell me how big this walnut is." Zhang Chongwen knew that the price of walnuts in this article was closely related to the size. A millimeter of difference, the price is far from the difference.

"Both walnuts are 48." Zhong Huan replied.

"48 ah...... Then I conservatively estimate that this pair of walnuts is worth 100,000 at least. How much money did you spend while gambling? ”

As soon as Zhang Chongwen spoke, all the people in the box were stunned. Even Zhong Jianguo and Zhang Shulan didn't expect that the pair of walnuts that Zhong Huan took out were so valuable. Zhang Shumin, Zhang Miao, Yuan Fen, and Liu Dan were even more shocked. This article is really worthless for people who don't know how to play walnuts, and it's too little meat to eat when it's smashed.

"Haha~ Then I'm really making a lot of money. I only spent a total of five thousand on this pair of walnuts. Zhong Huan said with a smile.

"Xiao Huan, your life is too good! Where did you gamble? Will you take me to see it after dinner? When the eldest cousin Zhang Wei heard that Zhong Huan's 5,000 yuan bet on walnuts could be worth 100,000, he immediately couldn't sit still.

"Zhang Wei, don't mess around. This gamble is a nine out of ten cheats, and most sellers have screened it themselves before making a move. Pick out the good ones, and there is no one in ten thousand who can match the right. Like Xiao Huan, he gambled to the best. That's harder than winning the lottery. You don't have Xiao Huan's luck, if you gamble, you will only lose money. Xiao Huan, your gift is too valuable, uncle can't ask for it. ”

Zhang Chongwen is more knowledgeable than his son, and knows that this gambling on green skin is easy to say, but it is actually difficult. Let's put it this way. It's not easy to pick out a pair of walnuts with the same texture from thousands of peeled walnuts, let alone a layer of skin. Real players know in their hearts that this fine walnut can't be gambled, so Zhang Chongwen doesn't believe that Zhong Huan is gambling on walnuts at all.

"Five thousand yuan of walnuts is not valuable, and it is not as valuable as Brother Yu's bracelet. Besides, I went to bet on Qingpi to give it to you. It's my luck to be able to pick up a big leak, and it's your luck. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even gamble, let alone pick up a spill. This walnut is what you deserve, so take it. Zhong Huan persuaded him.

"Hehe~ Look at Xiao Huan's sweet mouth. It's as if you're acting against the sky if you don't take it. Lao Zhang, I think you can accept it. Yuan Fen also smiled and persuaded, a gift of 100,000 yuan, this is a good thing.

"Big brother, you can take it."

Zhang Shulan took good care of her when she had no money before. She doesn't move around with Zhang Chongwen because she doesn't want to always take advantage of her eldest brother, not that Zhang Chongwen treats her badly. Now that she has money, Zhang Shulan feels that she should also thank her eldest brother, even if Zhong Huan really gives a gift of 100,000 yuan, she will not stop it, not to mention that this gift is still Zhong Huan gambled with 5,000 yuan.

"Then I'll really take it. Xiao Huan, don't regret it. Zhang Chongwen saw that Zhong Huan and his sister were full of sincerity, so he couldn't help but say happily.

"Isn't it just two walnuts, what's there to regret." Zhong Huan said disapprerovingly.

After Zhang Chongwen made sure again and again, he put away a pair of walnuts. The bracelet given by Yu Gongce can only be regarded as a precious gift, and it is not difficult to buy a better one. But Zhong Huan's pair of walnuts can be met but not sought. Zhang Chongwen decided to take this pair of walnuts to the circle of friends in two days to show off, which also opened the eyes of those Tibetan friends. Some of his Tibetan friends were richer than him, but none of them had such good walnuts. When this pair of walnuts comes out, it will definitely be more valuable.

Yu Gongce's original intention to provoke the topic of gifts was to chill Zhong Huan, but he didn't expect Zhong Huan's literary play walnuts to become the focus of everyone's attention again, which made him angry.

Zhang Shumin and Zhang Miao didn't expect that the walnuts that Zhong Huan gave away would be worth 100,000 yuan. They didn't know how to collect literary toys, so they didn't doubt Zhong Huan's words, they all thought that Zhong Huan gambled with 5,000 yuan on walnuts, so they could only secretly say that Zhong Huan was lucky. At the same time, their mother and daughter felt a little suffocated, who let Zhong Huan use a gift of five thousand yuan to compare his eight or nine thousand gifts.

"Zhang Miao, your brother is good enough to pretend to be 13. will also pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Yu Gongce muttered quietly.

"He used to be a poor bird. Who knows how you've been shaking lately. Forget it, we don't usually deal with him, so don't be so idle. "Zhang Miao doesn't want Yu Gongce and Zhong Huan to fight for richness, it is better to spend that spare money for herself, there is no need to spend it at her uncle's house.

"What do you mean? You don't think I'm as good as this poor bird, do you? Yu Gongce wanted to leave just now, but now he was fighting with Zhong Huan, bent on extinguishing Zhong Huan's prestige.

"I didn't say that. I just don't think you need to compare with him. You're better than him everywhere, that's obvious. As a strong person, why bother to prove anything to a weak person? Zhang Miao saw that Yu Gongce was angry, so he persuaded him flatteringly.

"Although what you said is very reasonable, your uncle and they don't know that I am better than him. If I am compared to him today, how will I still be in your house in the future. No, I'm going to find a way to show my skills. Yu Gongce said unadmittedly.

"So what are you going to do? Don't mess around! Zhang Miao said with some worry.

"Don't worry! I've got an idea. You'll see. Yu Gongce's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

The other people in the box didn't know that Yu Gongce was going to make a mistake. Everyone chatted for a while and arrived at the meal, and Zhang Chongwen hurriedly served the food. Yu Gongce took advantage of this time to go to the bathroom and make a phone call.

Soon the meal was served on the table, and the three families began to eat and drink with cups. It is rare for the brothers and sisters of the Zhang family to get together, so they naturally chat while eating, and the atmosphere is happy.

The restaurant opened by Zhang Chongwen is not large, it is a one-story bungalow, and the boxes are all next to the lobby. Halfway through the meal in the box, everyone heard someone shouting in the lobby outside. It's normal for drinking and punching in this restaurant to be louder, so the people in the room didn't care.

"When~When~When~"

There was a commotion outside, and there was a knock on the door of the box. Zhang Chongwen couldn't help frowning when he heard the knock on the door. The dishes he ordered had already been served, and he had also told the waiter not to disturb him if he was fine. Now there's a knock on the door, and it's wrong.

"Xiao Wei, you go out and see what's going on." Zhang Chongwen didn't want the restaurant incident to affect the family reunion, so he asked his son to go out to have a look.

Zhang Wei said yes and left the box. When he opened the door, the people in the room could see that it was indeed a waiter who knocked on the door, and there seemed to be many people standing in the lobby, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Big brother, can Xiao Wei handle it well? Why don't we go out and have a look. ”

In Zhang Shulan's view, Zhang Wei and Zhong Huan are the same generation, even if he has married a wife and had children, Zhang Shulan still inevitably treats him as a child. So as soon as Zhang Wei left the table, Zhang Shulan was in no mood to continue eating.

"Don't worry, Xiao Wei can already be on his own. Besides, he can't handle it and will come back. Zhang Chongwen saw that everyone at the table had put down their chopsticks, so he explained everyone.

Although Zhang Chongwen said this, everyone should be worried or worried, and they all listened to the movement outside the door. The others listened vaguely and not really, but Zhong Huan could hear clearly what the people outside were saying, and he could see through what was happening outside.

It turned out that a group of people came outside, and there were nearly 30 people, saying that they were having a company dinner and wanted a private room. Zhang Chongwen's restaurant does not have such a large private room, and the largest private room has two tables and twenty people at the end. So the waiter asked if they could sit separately. This group of people didn't do it, so they wanted to wrap up the lobby. However, there were other guests in the lobby, which made it difficult for the waiter. (To be continued.) )
