Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 177 Walnut
The boss used gloves to remove the green skin of the two walnuts, opened them, and put them one by one into the small basin next to them. The basin was filled with [-]% clean water. After washing the walnuts, they carefully brushed them with a brush.

"Hey, not bad, it looks like a good match!"

The middle-aged man standing next to Meng Zhen watched with concern, making comments from time to time.

"Brother, congratulations, ha ha, this pair of walnuts is very good, Xiao San, give me the ruler, I will measure it!"

The boss took off the gloves stained with walnut juice, took the caliper from his companion, picked up the washed walnuts in the basin, and began to measure them separately.

"Well, yes, although the size is not particularly big, but there are 37, yes, the appearance is also good, hey, brother, look at the texture, it is an official hat!"

After the boss finished measuring, he wiped the walnuts with a towel at his feet, and then handed them to the customer for him to see for himself.

"This teacher, what is an official hat?"

Meng Zhen asked the people around her in a low voice. She only knew about the situation of Wenwan walnuts, but she didn't know what kind of walnut it was.

"Oh, it's a kind of Wenwan walnut. To put it simply, the shape of the walnut is very similar to the hats worn by officials of the Ming Dynasty. It's hard to say the specifics. Hehe, this thing can only be felt, but it can't be expressed in words. Play After a long time, I will naturally understand. In fact, the appearance of this pair can only be regarded as average, but if you can spend 100 yuan to gamble out such a walnut, it is considered a big bet..."

Seeing Meng Zhen's curious look, the man next to him explained in detail.

"Oh~~" I still don't understand, isn't it just a walnut, why can't she see what looks like an official hat? !
"Hey, buddy, do you want to sell this pair of walnuts? How about I buy them for [-]?"

The two were talking quietly, and the tourists at the stall were also beaming when they knew that their bets had gone up.A man in his forties came over next to him, looked at his walnuts, and asked aloud.

"Sell? Yes, hehe!"

It's really good, I earned 300 yuan as soon as I got it, and the tourists happily sold the walnuts to the buyer on the spot.Anyway, he was just here to join in the fun. He wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to make money, so he didn't counter-offer, and just settled the deal at the price he said.

"Hehe, did you see, this teacher is so lucky, he made a net profit of 300 yuan! Come on, come on, is there anyone else to try his luck?"

The boss didn't feel jealous when he saw someone's betting went up. Instead, he treated him as a living advertisement and yelled at the onlookers.

"Auntie, Auntie, what are you looking at?"

Meng Zhen was hesitant to try it too, Xiaolang squeezed in from the crowd, holding a Pleasant Goat doll in his hand, which seemed to be a prize for the ring.

"Bet on Qingpi. Xiaolang, do you want to try it?"

Meng Zhen pulled him by his side, and started to gamble as he watched the tempted person pay the money.

"Green skin? What green skin?"

Xiaolang didn't understand either, so Meng Zhen simply explained the rules of the game.In fact, betting on the green skin is relatively simple. First, the two selected walnuts should form a pair, and then they should be large, good-looking, and free of cracks. Then, they should be heavy enough to be touched by hand, and the light ones are not ripe.

"Oh, that's right!"

Xiaolang also watched curiously. Some people at the stall lost their bets, and some made a small fortune.Walnuts with good quality and good texture, the person who buys them will buy them directly.

"Boss, how did you bet on walnuts?"

Although I heard an explanation from an enthusiastic person just now, Meng Zhen still confirmed the rules of the game with the boss just to be on the safe side.

"This pile of walnuts costs 50 yuan to choose two. This pile is [-] yuan. This pile is relatively large, and it costs [-] yuan. If you have good eyesight and good luck, the two walnuts you choose can make a pair." Son, and the appearance is good, then the bet is up. Of course, if you can't make a pair, or a big and a small, hehe, then..."

The boss lit a cigarette and explained casually.His three piles of walnuts were harvested from the mountains by the catty, but now he bets on pairs. Although people here don't recognize them, the dozens of pairs just now made him a small profit. It's beautiful, so when I hear Meng Zhen's questions, I'm willing to answer them.

"Oh, that's it, hehe, I don't know much when I first came into contact, can you help me choose?"

Meng Zhen squatted down as he spoke, and began to look through the piles of green skins.

"Okay, hehe, I guarantee that the ones I choose for you are all in pairs, but I can't say whether the quality is good or not. However, let me choose, the price is not this price, no matter which pile, it is Two hundred yuan a pair!"

When the boss saw that the business was coming, he cut off the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile.

"Tch, if that's the case, it's better for me to choose. Auntie, let me choose a pair, don't I just choose two that look the same!"

Xiaolang rolled his eyes when he heard the boss's words, he has been to Jieyang, he has no problem with such difficult rough stones, let alone this little green skin? !

"Okay, hehe, Xiaolang, let's choose a pair and see who's lucky!"

Meng Zhen's interest also came, and she began to choose carefully.I don't know if it was her illusion, but when she touched the walnut, she felt the heat in her palm, as if there were two different air currents flowing in her hand.

"kindness!"

Xiaolang also squatted down, without making a move, first he couldn't stop watching on the three piles of walnuts.Then, he began to rummage among the piles of two hundred walnuts.

Meng Zhen also experienced it with his hands, some airflows were weak and some were slightly stronger, but it was obvious that this airflow was not one kind.After picking for a long time, she chose two walnuts among the one hundred piles. The appearance was not very good, but these two green skins gave her the best feeling. The air flow was very strong, and they seemed to grow from a tree.

"Xiao Lang, have you chosen?"

Meng Zhen put the two walnuts away, and saw that Xiaolang was also holding two green skins in his small hands.

"Well, the choice is made. Auntie, this is it!"

With that said, he handed the walnut in his hand to Meng Zhen.

"Okay, boss, just these two pairs." Meng Zhen took out 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, "Now, please help me open it!"

Meng Zhen was looking forward to the walnut she had chosen. She was not so much curious about her own luck as she was curious about the effect of the airflow she felt.

"Okay!"

The boss counted the money and stuffed it into his pocket, put on his gloves, and began to peel the skin with a knife.

"Hey! Eldest sister, is your little nephew lucky enough?!" The boss saw the walnut in his hand, and without taking off his gloves, he picked up a small brush and wiped off the dander.

"Girl, do you sell walnuts?"

The middle-aged man standing next to Meng Zhen just now also saw the two cleaned walnuts, and asked a little excitedly.

"Hehe, Xiaolang, you chose the walnuts, what do you think?"

Meng Zhen knew from the boss's expression that this pair of walnuts was definitely top-grade, she said to Xiaolang with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, aunt, you can deal with it as you want, alas, it's boring!" After speaking, he clapped his hands, and squeezed out of the crowd to find friends to play with.

"Girl, if you sell it, I'm willing to pay 1000 yuan to buy it!"

The people who had been standing by the stall to purchase also hurriedly spoke out.

"Wow, one thousand?! Didn't you make eight hundred by handing it over? What kind of walnut is this? Why is it worth more than gold?"

There were tourists and local residents on the sidelines. When they heard the price, they all exploded with a "coax" and chattered.

"Sell it, but you have to tell me what's so special about this pair of walnuts?"

"Hey, girl, this pair is a three-edged 'Big Ben'. Although I haven't measured it, it is estimated to be 45 ha by my eyes. It is rare to see such a big wild big Ben! So, girl, I will give you a thousand and two. ,How about it?"

The middle-aged man explained excitedly, and then raised the price by two hundred.

"Okay, teacher, then this pair will be sold to you!"

Meng Zhen looked at the buyer and saw that he was grinning, seemingly reluctant, so he sold the pair of walnuts to the middle-aged man.

After receiving the money, Meng Zhen reminded the boss to help open the other pair of green skins. She was very much looking forward to the feel of her hands.

After opening, the walnuts are not big, but the quality is also very good. The person who bought them was not willing to buy the pair of Daben just now. Seeing that the chicken hearts are also very good, they paid 1000 yuan to buy this pair of walnuts as well. .

"Hey, Zhen Nier, you are really lucky. You spent 300 yuan, and you made nearly 2000 yuan!"

Meng Zhen came out of the stall, and the villagers watching the excitement said enviously.

"Hehe, gambling, isn't it just luck!"

There were several people who spent money and gambled nothing before.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Just as they were talking, Zheng Jian and Liu Jiajia strolled over arm in arm. Seeing that there were a lot of people around here, they also came to join in the fun.

"Hehe, bet on the green skin, it's hickory!"

I made a small fortune, and it would be a lie to say that I am unhappy, Meng Zhen said with a smile.

"Hickory?" Zheng Jian glanced at it, and said disdainfully: "Cut, I'm still betting that the biggest walnut can't catch up with the wild walnut you planted! Sister, I think those walnuts are useless if you throw them away." Blind, why not sell it too!"

Those who bought walnuts got a lot today. Besides the chicken hearts that Meng Zhen sold him, there were also a pair of good ones.Just when he was happy, he suddenly heard Zheng Jian's words, so he came over curiously:
"Girl, do you have wild walnut trees at home?"

"Yes, on the mountain I contracted for. Last year there were a lot of walnuts, but the skins were too thick to be eaten at all. I collected them and piled them in the corner. Oh, don't talk about it, here are Wenwan walnuts and my hickory nuts." It's about the same!"

It’s okay not to mention, Zheng Jianyi reminded, Meng Zhen also remembered that when she built the house, there was a wild walnut tree on the hillside. The tree was quite old. .On eleventh, the walnut tree was full of walnuts. Linglong picked some at that time, but because the skin was so thick and hard, she couldn't bite it open at all, so she threw it on the ground.Meng Zhen thought it was a mess, so he swept up the walnuts and piled them on the wall.

"Really? Is it convenient to take me to have a look?"

"Okay, let's go, let's go and have a look!"

There is another update tonight, please vote...
