Had dinner in the evening.
Dong Xuebin held the pair of top-notch dwarf lion heads like a treasure and admired them from front to back and left and right. They were beautiful, so beautiful. After achieving his goal, he was in a very happy mood. He hummed a little tune for a while. Finally, he put them away and continued to peel them. There were still more than a hundred left.
Eighty-fifth…
Chapter 121…
Chapter 154…
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that he drove out all the green skins, took them to the hut, and piled them densely into a bed.
Dong Xuebin was so tired that his hands cramped, and he sat on the end of the bed and panted.
The quality of these lion heads belongs to the mid-range and upper range. There are not many that are too big. There is only one that is above 46mm, but there are many medium-sized ones with 40mm and 41mm. After resting for a while, Dong Xuebin began to do the last step - pairing. How much this batch of walnuts can sell for, the size is not the most important, the most important thing is whether they can be paired.
Searching and searching, choosing and choosing, comparing and comparing...
8:10: A pair of 38mm dwarf lion heads are attached.
8:15: A pair of 40mm dwarf lion heads are attached.
8:16: A pair of 36.5mm and 36.9mm are barely matched.
8:17: A pair of 43mm and 43.3mm are matched.
An hour later, the pairing work was finally over. Apart from the dozen or so defective walnuts that were infested with insects and infestations, the remaining dwarf lion heads basically all had "matches", and the best match was a pair of dwarf lion heads with a side length of 45mm, and The pair of 44mm and 44.5mm should also be worth a lot of money, and the worse one is a pair of 35mm and 36mm that is barely enough.
Very good record
Dong Xuebin estimates that these dozens of pairs of walnuts will definitely fetch a good price.
After fidgeting for a few minutes, Dong Xuebin couldn't wait any longer, so he packed the walnuts in plastic bags, and put them separately into the suitcase that his mother got back last year. Later, the bags were not enough, so he put them in plastic bags. Went downstairs to do some shopping. After everything was packed, Dong Xuebin took his suitcase downstairs and headed north along the road to a walnut store on the east side of the bridge at the north entrance of Heping Street.
Fortunately, the store was open and the lights were on inside.
Dong Xuebin immediately opened the door and walked in, only to see three or two people standing in the store. The owner was playing with a pair of red and shiny old lion heads to introduce to the customers. Judging from the pulp, it must be at least dozens of years old. , is an extremely precious thing for children.
The shop owner took the time to look at Dong Xuebin, "Buy walnuts? Give them to others or play with yourself? How big a size do you want to choose?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Do you collect walnuts here? Match them well."
The shopkeeper blinked, "What?"
"They're all dwarf lion heads."
"Oh?" The shopkeeper was interested and made room on the counter, "Can you take it out and take a look?"
"Of course." Dong Xuebin opened his suitcase as he walked. He first touched the best pair of four or five lion heads and took them out. He wanted to try out the price offered by this store. If it didn't work, he would change to another one. "You Let’s see how much this pair can give, 45mm.”
The two players who came to pick walnuts were slightly startled: "Hey, this is a good thing."
The shopkeeper took it carefully, took a look at it, and then measured it with a caliper, "...it's really four or five, good guy, enough to hold your hand." Looking up, the shopkeeper asked: "Little brother, the walnuts are good, how many do you want to sell?"
Dong Xuebin said: "How much do you want to charge?"
After pondering, the shop owner lowered his eyelids and looked at the pair of dwarf lion heads again and again, "They match well and are quite big. Well, nine thousand, okay?"
Dong Xuebin felt that the price was okay, but he was not in a hurry to give up. Instead, he took out a pair of 44mm lion heads from the box and asked, "How much can I give you for this pair?"
"Any more?" The shopkeeper's face was stunned. After taking it to measure, he said silently: "This couple can give you five thousand and five thousand at most."
Dong Xuebin thought for a while and picked up another pair of 43mm ones, "What about this one?"
"Hey, this is not small, um, about two thousand."
Dong Xuebin lowered his head and took it out again, "Take a look at this again."
The shop owner became interested and said, "Haha, little brother, take it out in one go and let's calculate the price together. How about that?"
"Okay." Under the surprised eyes of several people, Dong Xuebin placed the plastic bags on the counter.
The customer was speechless and said: "Khan, young man, have you packed the tree? Why did you buy so many?"
Another person said: "It's so valuable to wrap a tree. How can a tree with a lion's head cost hundreds of thousands?"
Dong Xuebin smiled, these dwarf lion heads were not bought at the price of lion heads, but at the "cabbage price" of large chicken hearts. Yes, they were the same as those bought for free.
The shopkeeper started to calculate the price, "... I'll give you one thousand for this pair... Well, this pair is not ideal. Although they are big, it's probably five hundred... This one is small, four hundred at most... And this one , 35mm and 36mm are too small and not worth much if paired with a pair. We won’t accept them. How about you take them back and exchange them?”
Dong Xuebin said: "It doesn't matter if it's cheaper, I'm too lazy to cause trouble."
The shopkeeper said, "Okay, I'll count you as seventy for this couple... Well, one hundred for that couple."
After a while, the shopkeeper used a calculator to add up the prices one by one. Except for seven or eight pairs of lion heads that were not well matched and did not sell for much, the rest of the prices were pretty good, ranging from several thousand expensive to cheap ones. Dozens or hundreds of dollars. After the last calculation, the shop owner said: "It's out, the total is sixty-nine thousand five hundred. Well, since the quantity is so large, I'll give you a round number, seventy thousand yuan. Don't forget to come back to me if you have good walnuts in the future." ”
Seventy thousand
Seventy thousand
seventy thousand
Dong Xuebin was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
so much
Why so many
How come there are so many
The shop owner looked at him, "Do you want cash or..."
"...Cash" Dong Xuebin blurted out.
"Okay, wait a moment." The shopkeeper turned around and called the servant, "Zhao Er, take out 70,000 yuan from the safe."
Dong Xuebin took a deep breath and knew that he was not dreaming. After waiting for five minutes to receive the money from the shop owner, he quickly pretended and returned home in a daze.
I originally went to Panjiayuan and Shilihe to look for walnuts just to capture Liu Hua, the deputy director. Who would have thought that I would get such a big windfall? If I include the 30,000 yuan left in my bank for missing coins, I The total assets on hand now have reached 100,000 yuan.
