In front of the walnut stall, Dong Xuebin stretched his neck and watched quietly.
The stall owner shouted: "This year's big chicken hearts are good, let's bet on a pair."
Someone took a pair and said, "I'll make a pair, these two."
"Okay." The proprietress with a Northeastern accent next to her took the 200 yuan and threw it into a plastic basket. Then she dug skillfully with a knife and quickly peeled off most of the skin and flesh on the surface of the green-skinned walnuts. I picked up a brush and rinsed the water in a white plastic bucket to remove the pulp from the gaps in the walnuts. Finally, I took a caliper to measure it. The landlady regretfully said: "There is a bit of vaginal skin, one is 37 and one is 39. It doesn't fit." This size. It is relatively average, at least it needs to be 42mm to be so-so. The vaginal skin is a flaw, and the value of walnuts with vaginal skin or other defects will be greatly reduced even if they are larger in size.
Upon hearing this, the buyer turned around and left speechlessly.
Later, someone bought a pair of lion-head green leather ones, and the results were 39mm and 41mm respectively, which was not ideal either.
Then the next person drives 36mm and 38mm.
The next ones are 40mm and 39mm, so I guess they match.
Seeing this situation, Dong Xuebin immediately gave up the idea of betting on walnuts. No, there are so many green leathers that are not even above 42mm. The chance of 46mm is even smaller. Even if he is possessed by the goddess of luck, he probably won't have any chance. Ah, money wasted in vain
But he wouldn't be willing to just give up.
ten minutes…
half an hour…
One hour…
Dong Xuebin stood in front of the stall for two hours, watching the green skin become less and less.
There were less than 30 lion-headed green skins left out of the original one hundred, and a basket of large chicken hearts was sold out. The boss later brought out a new basket from the back. However, with such a large flow of water, Dong Xuebin has never seen a lion head above 44mm. The one with 43.8mm is the largest. After the water evaporates, the walnuts will shrink again, 43.8mm. The final size is at most 43mm.
too small
They're all too small
At noon, I bought a McFragrant Chicken Burger set meal at KFC outside, and after finishing it, I came back here to stare at it.
ten…
Twenty…
Fifty…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Dong Xuebin was exhausted. Not only his eyes were dazzled, but his legs were also numb.
There was a lot less business at this time, and the boss in the Northeast had to take a breath. The wife of the boss glanced at Dong Xuebin and said with a strange expression: "Young man, let's have a bet?" She had noticed Dong Xuebin since the morning, I've been looking at this place for seven or eight hours, but I haven't bought anything.
Dong Xuebin thought about it and shook his head.
Someone just bet on a 44.7mm one, but it is still far from Dong Xuebin’s 46mm.
Alas, the chance is indeed too small, shall we go back
It was getting late, so Dong Xuebin decided to leave after watching the last couple.
"How do you sell the lion's head on a low pile?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a burly stature, about the same size as a pile, squatted in front of the walnut basket.
The stall owner said: "Panshan lion heads are usually priced at four hundred and a pair, but the larger ones are more expensive. There are ones with six hundred and one thousand."
There were not many lion heads left in the basket. The big man stretched out his long arms to pick it up. Finally, he took out two mottled pieces of green leather that were slightly rotten and yellowed from the left side, and threw them to the boss. "Here, open it." The yellowing is due to the fact that the walnuts have been planted for too long. Even if they are stored in the refrigerator, they will not stay green for too long, but it does not affect the quality of the walnuts.
"The big ones cost 800."
The big man gave him money and said, "Let's drive."
"Okay." The boss pinched the green skin, touched the knife with his dark hand, and started peeling it skillfully.
The first dwarf lion head soon appeared in front of a few people - 43.3mm, just fine.
The big man was quite satisfied and nodded, "Keep going and see if it's a good match."
The boss grabbed the second piece of green skin and slashed it with force.
One knife...
Two knives…
Three swords…
"Hey, look, look at this walnut..."
"Oh, this is incredible." The crowd watching the excitement around them exclaimed.
Dong Xuebin was also stunned, staring closely at the half-opened green leather. Although he didn't use a ruler to measure it, he could tell with a quick glance that the lion's head inside... was quite big.
The boss huffed and didn't continue driving. Instead, he took the caliper and turned it sideways. Finally, he looked at the boss's wife in surprise and said, "Nearly 47 millimeters, 46.8."
Dong Xuebin's brain suddenly became hot, what? 46.8mm? In the future, if the upper hand is retracted, it can also be 46mm.
Isn't this exactly the walnut I'm looking for? Really out
"Hello, I would like to ask." Dong Xuebin was afraid of being overtaken by others, so he looked at the big man hurriedly and said: "Do you want to sell these four six lion heads? Can you give me a price?"
The big man laughed loudly, "If you don't sell such a good thing, of course you have to keep it for collection."
Dong Xuebin said quickly: "A collection that is not worthy of my wife is not beautiful either. Look..."
"I said I won't sell it." The big man waved his hand and said to the boss with a smile: "Go on."
what to do? what to do
After the great joy and great sorrow, Dong Xuebin was extremely confused. This is a rare opportunity. If he misses it...
By the way, why did I forget it
BACK
…
My head was dizzy and the picture suddenly changed.
“How do you sell a dwarf lion’s head?”
"Panshan lion heads are usually 400 pairs per pair, but the larger ones are more expensive. There are 600 pieces and 1,000 pieces."
The big man stretched out his hand and grabbed the two big men Qingpi on the left.
Dong Xuebin hurriedly leaned over, and with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the two rotten green-skinned fruits on the side before the big man could reach them. "I want these two, boss, please open them." When he was just choosing, Dong Xuebin noticed, These two have more serious skin rot, so they are very easy to identify.
The big man frowned and looked at him. He thought to himself, "Why are you so excited?" He shook his hands and grabbed the other two.
The boss looked at Dong Xuebin's hand and said, "Eight hundred."
Dong Xuebin paid the money without saying a word, his heart pounding.
Don't have vaginal skin, don't have bug eyes, please, please.
The knife has already fallen on the first green skin.
one time…
Two times…
Three times…
After a while, under the surprised and envious gazes of the people around him, the lion's head appeared.
No blemishes, no vaginal skin
46.8mm
The big man curled his lips jealously, he is so lucky
The boss and his wife were both shocked. This young man from Dark Elbow is really amazing. He didn’t take any action from morning to afternoon, but this time it turned out to be a 46mm one. Could he know how to read green skin? It’s impossible. I’ve been doing walnut trading for so many years and I still don’t quite understand it.
Holding the big lion head, Dong Xuebin took a deep breath in ecstasy
Hahahaha, got it
I actually got the four six lion heads.
