Chapter 37: Cultural Play (1)
After a full meal, the rich began to talk nonsense. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although this group of people is worth a lot of money, they are no different from the old men who talk about the international situation in China and foreign countries on the street.
Wang Jiuqian read a lot of online novels, and originally thought that there would be some lofty topics, but after listening to them for a long time, he found that there were no so-called lofty topics at all. It's nothing more than real estate, stocks, finance, the economic situation, and women......
These rich people are worth a lot of money. However, in the general environment, it is just like a fish in the sea. You can only go with the flow. It's a little bigger, but it's just a fish. There is no essential difference from the ordinary grassroots.
The only thing that can be better than the grassroots is that these people know more gossip. As soon as they exchange with each other, they will have a more accurate grasp of the development situation of a certain industry in a certain region than ordinary people. It's just some, just like the jadeite rough has been cut a little bit of semi-clear material, once the choice is not right, the risk is still not small.
Legend has it that the key news that can make people rich overnight has not appeared.
Therefore, Wang Jiuqian did not have much interest. The youngest of these uncles was also more than a dozen years older than him. Although in terms of net worth, they are also people of the same level, but the generation gap is obviously a mess.
When the general trend of the world and the topic of economic development were finished, several uncles began to talk about their daily preferences. The daily preferences of these uncles are also different from what Wang Jiuqian expected. At least, these people are not as unscrupulous as rumors in terms of women......
Ming Moxuan's generation, especially the rich generation, still has a very traditional education. The family concept is still very strong. And advocating thrift and thrift. It really started earlier than the chickens, dried more than the cows, and the road was blue, which became today's vision.
After this contact, Wang Jiuqian found that the luxury of this group of people was only in the enjoyment of daily necessities. For example, driving a luxury car, eating finely, paying more attention to health and so on.
There is no rich man's character and preferences, which are comparative. Come to think of it, it is difficult for people who are more likely to become rich.
And the favorite entertainment of uncles at this age is collecting. Including antiques, jadeite jewelry, and a variety of cultural ......
Except that the bracelet that Ming Moxuan was wearing on his hand was made of glutinous ice jade beads. The bracelets worn by several others are mostly made of various precious woods. There is also amber, lapis lazuli. Turquoise, which is easy to crack when the weather is hot, and tourmaline, which has a light and bright hue, are not loved by this group of uncles.
There is a rich man surnamed Liao who is more exaggerated, not only wearing a sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, and a long string of Xingyue Bodhi that has changed color around his neck, but also holding two walnuts in his hand, constantly playing with it. After eating, this man's hand did not stop, but he saw two walnuts in his hand. I don't feel tired at all.
The rich man next to him quipped: "Old Liao, why don't you bring that string of blood-dripping lotus bodhi seeds?"
Lao Liao said angrily: "Lao Zhao, as soon as you say this, I will be angry! I will not bring that string of blood lotus bodhi seeds for a long time!"
A few people in the know laughed. That old Zhao said to a few people who didn't know: "When the Blood Lotus Bodhi Seed was just flourishing, it was very expensive. Also, the shape of this thing is really good, and it looks quite intimidating. A six-pack of three costs one or two hundred yuan. A bunch can sell for thousands!"
"Lao Liao was thinking about self-cultivation at that time, so he picked eighteen ones of similar size. And it is also equipped with mammoth ivory beads and a mammoth ivory carved Buddha head. This string cost Lao Liao more than 30,000 yuan. Back then, this string of blood-dripping lotus bodhi seeds, Lao Liao didn't show off in front of me and a few other people. There are a few who also play Bodhi, and they all say that they are worth ...... buying."
"As a result, turn over the years. The truth about the blood lotus Bodhi Zi broke out in the major literary circles. This is nothing more than the seed of a wild pineapple. It's just a common fruit and Chinese medicine. The market price is not to mention a few hundred yuan a piece, a few hundred yuan can buy a sack of wild pineapple seeds!"
"This time it has made enough of the people who spent a lot of money to play the blood lotus bodhi seed back then! Old Liao, I know that you have been depressed for several days!"
The crowd laughed. Lao Liao was not angry, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "This incident didn't just make me depressed for a few days. I'm still depressed! I can't help it, I can think of spending money to buy lessons! I've long since stopped playing the Blood Lotus Bodhi. Switched to Walnut and Xingyue Bodhi!"
Someone next to him interjected and said, "Oh! Old Liao, you have a good pair of walnut plates! The color has changed!"
Lao Liao said happily: "That's it! I have a lot of walnuts every day!"
When playing with walnuts, the emphasis is on a natural texture. The walnut with the most outstanding natural texture is hemp walnut. Basically, only in hemp walnuts, there will be a lion head, tiger head, arhat head, boy hat and other patterns of difference. Moreover, in addition to the natural texture, Wenwan walnuts also pay attention to size. The bigger, the better.
Of course, these exquisiteness are all on a walnut. Serious walnut play, not one. Instead, play a pair. This pair of walnuts is not naturally together, but needs to be artificially found and picked. From thousands of walnuts, pick the texture and size are very similar, and make a pair. The process is even more difficult than the blind date between men and women in the city today.
Sometimes, a pair of walnuts looks like twins, but in fact, they are produced in different places, and even in different years. Therefore, a pair of walnuts that look similar is far more rare than a single walnut.
And this pair of walnuts is not a successful blind date match. The person who plays with walnuts has to keep it in his hand for a long time. Until, this pair of walnuts has been soaked with various oils on the human skin and changed color. The discoloration process of this walnut is lengthy, and the color change is uncontrollable. The rarest thing is to turn old red.
Of course, this kind of play is not idle and idle. The process of playing with walnuts is a process of exercising your hands. This exercise stimulates the nerves, exercises the brain, and slows down the rate of brain aging. Therefore, the sport of playing walnuts originated in the Han Dynasty of China, spread in the Tang and Song dynasties, and prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Whether it is the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty or the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, they are very interested in playing walnuts.
Because the emperor has always liked Banzai Banzai Banzai and Shoubi Nanshan, the exercise that can delay aging will inevitably be valued.
