Chapter 406 Not just an alien, but also a tumbler
In the front and back yards of the store, Fang Ming discovered that this store also had the same structure. After passing through a back door of the store, he immediately saw a small yard planted with some flowers and trees. There was a small table in the corner of the yard. There were two people sitting there, and Fang Ming saw that the second child of Ma Lao Er that Luo Tian had mentioned earlier
It was one of them, and the person sitting opposite him was an old man who was about his age. The two of them were obviously familiar with each other, and they were drinking tea.

"Well, how did you come in?"

Seeing Ma Shihua come in, Ma Lao Er obviously showed a surprised expression on his face, especially seeing Fang Ming and Luo Tian who were still following behind him.

"Dad, I saw a pair of odd-shaped walnuts. They look pretty good. I want to open them and have a look."

"Oh?"

Ma Laoer now understood what was going on, and dared to say that the walnuts belonged to the two people behind. His son saw it and wanted to help others open it, so he led it to the backyard.

"Oh, you two, don't know how to address them? Please sit down."

Ma Lao Er stood up, asked Fang Ming and Luo Tian to sit down, and after a few words of politeness, he took the walnut from Ma Shihua's hand. He was a veteran, and this walnut immediately knew that his son's judgment was correct.

"Who does this walnut belong to? Mr. Luo's?"

When Luo Tian heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Old Ma, this is not mine, it's Boss Fang's."

"Oh?"

Ma Laoer was ashamed for a moment. He saw that Luo Tian was older and he had the smell of a fellow worker, so he thought the walnut belonged to Luo Tian, ​​but he didn't expect that he guessed wrong, and what Luo Tian said The tone, the young man who introduced himself as Fang Ming just now and Luo Tian are not on the same side.

"Old Ma, Boss Fang bought these walnuts from two stalls."

Luo Tian's words immediately moved Ma Lao Er's face. The two walnuts in front of him were indeed special-shaped walnuts, and according to his experience, they must be quite good.

Obviously, if such walnuts appear in one stall, nine out of ten people who have played with walnuts will buy them, but if they appear in two stalls, that is another matter.

He is very clear about the conditions of the stalls outside. Often there are hundreds or thousands of walnuts in a stall for people to choose, and he can find two green-skinned walnuts that are not much different from different stalls. This definitely requires vision, and generally only a veteran walnut player who has played walnuts for a lifetime can do this.

The problem is, it is absolutely unreasonable for Fang Ming to be so young.

Looking at Fang Ming carefully, the more Ma Lao Er looked at him, the more surprised he felt. He was tall and strong, and quite sunny. This was Fang Ming's first impression, but if he looked carefully, he revealed another very Amazing breath.

"An old hand at antiques?"

I don't know why, such a thought came to Ma Laoer's mind, but then he shook his head lightly, thinking how is this possible?First of all, this is simply impossible in terms of age.

"Heh, Mr. Fang, I wonder if your walnuts are willing to change hands? I can offer 2 yuan."

What Ma Lao Er said surprised Luo Tian. The walnuts in Fang Ming's hands were good things, and he could tell that, but he never expected that they would be so valuable, especially considering that they were green-skinned walnuts. The next is even more so.

Ma Lao Er has been playing with walnuts all his life, so his eyesight is needless to say, he is definitely a famous person in the industry, and if he speaks, it means that he is absolutely optimistic about Fang Ming's pair of walnuts.

"Master, it seems that he is really a master!"

Luo Tian has been by Fang Ming's side all the time, knowing how he bought this pair of walnuts, he naturally understands that it is all based on his eyesight.

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "Sorry, I want to keep this pair of walnuts for myself."

"Well, since that's the case, it's better for a gentleman not to take what others want."

Ma Laoer handed the walnuts to Ma Shihua. It was good for walnuts, but he had seen too many walnuts in his life. To be honest, it would be nice to buy them, but it didn't matter if he couldn't buy them.

Ma Shihua took out the tools a long time ago. After taking the walnuts, he slowly rubbed off the skins and rinsed them with water.

Fang Ming saw that Ma Shihua's hands were strong, and they were very stable and skillful when grinding.

The whole process does not take long, only about ten minutes, because this is only a rough opening, as long as the outer skin is removed, and the inner lines can be seen, it is enough, and the rest can be carefully cleaned later.

"Wow!"

Ma Shihua soaked two walnuts in the water, washed them carefully, picked them up, and a shocked expression appeared on his face!

Ma Laoer was drinking tea slowly, but when he saw Ma Shihua's expression, he was stunned for a moment, and put down the teacup involuntarily.

He naturally knows his son's temperament very well. He belongs to the kind of stuffy gourd-shaped person who rarely slaps a fart. The most important thing is that he grew up with him and played with walnuts. He has a very high vision. The only possibility is that this pair of walnuts is not just as simple as a good thing, but should be extremely rare!
"4, I will offer 4 for this pair of walnuts. I wonder if Mr. Fang is willing to part with it?"

The old man sitting across from Ma Laoer kept silent. When Fang Ming and Luo Tian came in, they just smiled and nodded as greetings. Even Ma Laoer didn't introduce his name and identity, as if he was an outsider. Ordinary, but at this time, he said something like this when he opened his mouth.

After a brief shock, Ma Laoer also came to his senses, staring at him and said, "Gao Feng, what do you mean by that, you can't play like this."

Gao Feng seemed not to have heard what Ma Laoer said, and said with a smile: "I want to buy this walnut, what's the problem? You made an offer just now, but Boss Fang disagreed, and you didn't bid again, so I'm bidding now, and I haven't violated the rules."

Gao Feng and Ma Laoer are actually old friends, so he is quite familiar with Ma Shihua's character. When he sees this, he immediately understands that these are definitely a good pair of walnuts, and they are of very high value. , and immediately doubled the price - he is confident that he will not lose money just based on Ma Shihua's reaction at this time, and he may even make a fortune. Of course, the premise is that he can buy walnuts at this price. down.

Ma Laoer is very angry and funny, but this old friend of his has such a temper, and it is not the first time he has seen it, but he will not "let go" Gao Feng so simply, but say: "Hmph Boss Fang is not an idiot, I think this walnut is worth at least 6 yuan, you can take it if you want 4 yuan? How is this possible?"

Gao Feng stopped doing it when he heard it, and said: "I said Ma Laoer, you are too insidious! Such a bad move! Do you think it is worth at least 6? The walnut is still in your baby's hands, Which eye did you see?"

Gao Feng knew that it was Ma Lao Er who had messed up the situation for him, and he clearly didn't want to buy this pair of walnuts himself, and his intentions were too bad.

"Humph!"

Ma Laoer pointed to his own eyes, and then said, "It's just my two eyes that saw it, what's the matter?"

Seeing his father and Gao Feng quarreling, Ma Shihua couldn't help but feel a headache. The old boy and the old boy are clearly two old friends, but they have to quarrel every time they meet.

"Dad, Uncle Gao, Boss Fang said that the walnuts are no longer for sale, why are you arguing?"

When Ma Laoer and Gao Feng heard it, they found that it was really the case, and the owner hadn't even said he would sell it!
Ma Shihua handed the walnuts to Fang Ming, and said, "Boss Fang, think about these walnuts. If you are willing to resell them, the price can be negotiated."

Fang Ming took the walnut, and at a glance he knew why Ma Shihua had that expression just now.

Although there is still some "meat" on the walnuts that have been removed from the skin, it can be seen that nearly [-]% of the lines are similar, and what is even more rare is that the lines are relatively large, clear, deep, and The raised part of the texture is also very round, without any feeling of "hand cutting"!

Very consistent in size!
Fang Ming looked at it over and over for a while, then put the walnuts on the table next to him.

"what!"

Ma Laoer's eyes widened, and after shaking the two walnuts, they "stand" still!
"Isn't it? That's okay?!"

Gao Feng couldn't help stretching out his hand to shake the walnut lightly. The walnut shook again, but finally stabilized and regained its footing.

"Quick, clean up this walnut."

Ma Laoer waved his hand, and Ma Shihua immediately picked up the walnut, took out a knife and a small brush, and began to carefully clean up the "meat" in the grain of the walnut.This time it took a long time, and it took almost two hours to clean the two walnuts. Obviously, this was because Ma Shihua was worried about accidentally scratching the walnuts.

After cleaning, Ma Shihua rinsed with water again, and finally dried it with a dry cloth.

The walnut was put back on the table, and as seen before, stood firmly when it finally stopped after shaking!
"This... this... tumbler?"

Ma Laoer stared wide-eyed, looking at the two walnuts in front of him in disbelief.

The characteristic of special-shaped walnuts is their strange shape, which is their value. However, the center of gravity of most special-shaped walnuts is unstable. This is of course related to their shape. "Go down, there is no way to stand up from the bottom position.

But the pair of walnuts in front of them is obviously not like this, they even stood up with their heads tilted!

This is really rare among special-shaped walnuts, not to mention that its size and texture are extremely similar!
