"Eh!" The box was half opened and the things inside could be seen. After taking a look, Shi Yun couldn't help but froze slightly, and then his eyes lit up. What I saw was a snail inside. It was brown and red in color and criss-crossed. The front end was slightly warped, like a pouted mouth. There were four rows of blunt knobs on the surface of the shell, forming a rather pleasing geometric pattern...
"Xiaoyun, haven't you been collecting shellfish recently? Do you recognize this Wanbao snail?" Shi Xiuhua's son-in-law recognized it at a glance and said calmly. Although he was a bit snobbish like Shi Xiuhua, he was indeed quite knowledgeable. . Shi Xiuhua curled her lips, thinking that there was at least a snail.
"Of course I recognize it." Shi Yun smiled.
"What is Wanbao Snail?" Shi Guangjun asked.
"One of the four famous snails." Mu Ting smiled and said, "Xiaoyun, the collection value of Wanbao snail is very high. Now you should be satisfied."
"Hehe." Shi Yun smiled happily. In fact, children who grew up by the sea can collect shellfish more or less, it just depends on how dedicated they are. Two years ago, Shi Yun picked up a phoenix-tailed snail at the bottom of the sea. It was also one of the four famous snails. Although the size and appearance were average and could not be sold at a high price, it did not hinder Shi Yun's love for it, so he kept it. The snail was collected. Since then, he has often paid attention to collecting shellfish, and there are already dozens of them in the room. Of course he likes such a Wanbao snail.
Shi Yun opened the gift box completely, completely exposing the Wanbao snail. Seeing the whole picture of the Wanbao snail clearly, Shi Yun was even happier. Mu Ting and Shi Xiuhua's son-in-law's pupils suddenly widened with surprise on their faces.
Only when I saw the whole picture did I realize that this Wanbao snail was so big, it was simply too big. As far as they know, the larger the Wanbao snail is, the more valuable it is. A 14 or 15 cm snail is very rare, but this is estimated to be exceeded. Moreover, the appearance of this Wanbao snail is also impeccable.
"What a big snail."
"so beautiful."
Shi Yue, the pretty girl and others couldn't help but their eyes lit up in admiration. Of course, they relied on their first impression and had no idea what level this snail belonged to among the Wanbao snails. Even people who don’t know how precious Wanbao Snail is can’t help but like it.
"This Ten Thousand Treasure Snail seems to be something extraordinary." Mu Ting looked closer, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.
"Uncle, you seem to know a lot about Wanbao snails. What level does this Wanbao snail belong to?" Shi Yun couldn't help but ask. He knew the four famous snails: Wanbao snail, Phoenix-tailed snail, nautilus, and Tangguan snail, but he didn't have a deep understanding of it. After all, If you can pick up any of these four kinds of snails at the beach, it is quite rare and worth collecting. There is no time to discuss the grade.
"I only know a little bit about it. I have to ask Ah Jing about this." Mu Ting said, and everyone turned to look at Su Jing.
"I don't understand it very well either." Su Jing said. He really didn't understand it very well. He originally wanted to learn more about it. However, among the garbage from the time and space of the God's Tomb, there were several oversized Wanbao snails, among which the largest one was Su Jing. Jing measured it and found that the length was 34 centimeters. It could not be evaluated by earth standards, and she did not dare to take it out easily, otherwise the sensation would be too great. Therefore, Su Jing just picked the smallest one.
"I have a knowledgeable friend, let me ask him." Mu Ting seemed to want to find out. He immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call. The person on the other side quickly answered the call. Mu Ting turned on the speakerphone and heard a The man's rough voice said, "Lao Ting, what's going on?"
"I have a big Wanbao snail here. Please help me determine its value." Mu Ting said.
"How old." The rough man's tone sounded a little interested.
"Let me measure it." Mu Ting winked at Shi Yun. Shi Yun went to get a tape measure, then measured it and said, "20 centimeters."
"20... What did you say?" The rugged man obviously thought he heard wrongly.
"20 centimeters." Mu Ting repeated.
"Nonsense, you must have measured it wrong."
Mu Ting put down the phone and let Shi Yun hold it. He measured it again, picked up the phone and said, "20-21 centimeters."
"How is that possible?" The rough man said with a very excited tone, "Take a photo and show it to me."
"Okay." Mu Ting deliberately took a photo with the measuring ruler and sent it.
"Oh my god, how come you are so big and so beautiful."
"Then what level does this Ten Thousand Treasure Snail belong to?"
"The grade of Wanbao snail mainly depends on three aspects. One is the surface. This Wanbao snail has thick lips, bright color, moderate oval shape and smooth appearance. It is undoubtedly a first-class product. The second is the size. The bigger it is, the more valuable it is. A 20 cm one I have never seen a Wanbao snail, or even heard of it. The third thing is to look at the weight. You can weigh how much this Wanbao snail weighs."
"Isn't it bigger and heavier?" Mu Ting asked.
"That's not the case. Some are thicker and some are thinner. Those Wanbao snails that don't weigh much when held on the fingers are relatively inferior. They are just like human body dysplasia and lack of nutrition during the growth process. In short, the heavier the snails are, the heavier they are. The better.”
"Two catties and six taels." Mu Ting weighed it.
"Two catties and six taels? So heavy?" The rugged man was surprised again and said, "The ordinary Wanbao snail is very heavy at one and a half catties. Even judging from the size of this snail, two catties and six taels is still very heavy. In In terms of weight, this Wanbao snail is also impeccable. The last point is to look at the flaws. This Wanbao snail is well preserved, with no traces of corrosion or wear, and is almost flawless. To describe this Wanbao snail as first-class is an insult, it is simply supreme. The level and value are hard to measure. Where did you take the photos? Can you help me buy them?"
Hearing this, the joy on Shi Yun's face became even stronger. Shi Yue, Shi Guangjun and others sighed again. Sure enough, the things Su Jing sent were not ordinary things. I really don’t know where this guy got so many treasures.
"A relative of mine gave it to each other. It's not for sale." Mu Ting said with a smile.
"That relative of yours is so generous. A Wanbao snail of this level is hard to buy even with money." The rough man's voice was full of regret. Since it was a gift, it was hard for him to snatch it away.
"Haha, I'll introduce you to me when I get the chance." Mu Ting smiled, exchanged a few words, then hung up and said, "Ah Jing, I'm really impressed by you, you are really extraordinary. Brother, you are such an interesting son-in-law. ah."
"Haha." Shi Guanglu and Liu Xuanfeng both laughed. They really didn't care about these etiquettes. Their daughter even gave up college for the sake of this family. They just wanted their daughter to be happy. However, just because they don't care doesn't mean that other villagers and neighbors don't care. If the gift from a rich man like Su Jing is too ordinary, I'm afraid it will really cause some gossip, saying that people don't take their daughter seriously and just get some gifts. Sent away. Now, there are special honey tea fruits, as well as the supreme red fox wine not for sale, the supreme beauty powder not for sale, the best neon jade dew, the best Wanbao snail and other treasures to support the scene. When word spreads, their faces are glowing, and their daughter is also more proud.
