Dong Xuebin held the pair of top-notch dwarf lion heads like a treasure and admired them from side to side. They were beautiful, so beautiful. After achieving his goal, he was in a very happy mood. He hummed a little tune and sang for a while. Finally,
I put them away and continued to peel the green peel. There were still more than a hundred unpeeled.
Eighty-fifth...
Chapter 121...
Chapter 154...
It wasn't until after eight o'clock that he drove out all the green leathers, 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 this batch of lion heads is mid-range, there are not many that are too big, there is only one above 46mm, but there are many medium-sized ones of 40mm and 41mm. After resting for a while, Dong Xuebin began to do the last process -
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 matched.
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 matching work was finally over. Apart from a dozen walnuts with worms and infestations, the remaining dwarf lion heads basically all had "matches", and the best match was a pair of walnuts with full sides.
It's a 45mm dwarf lion head, and there are also a pair of 44mm and 44.5mm ones that should be worth a lot of money. The worse ones are a pair of 35mm and 36mm ones that are just barely combined.
The record is very good!
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.
He went downstairs to do some shopping. After everything was packed, Dong Xuebin took his suitcase downstairs and ran 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 is open and the lights are 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 the pair.
The shop owner took the time to look at Dong Xuebin, "Buy walnuts? Give them away 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 cleared a space on the counter, "Can you take it out and have 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: "Oh, 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 squeeze my hands." 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 thinking to himself, the shop owner lowered his eyelids and looked at the pair of dwarf lion heads again and again, "They match well and are quite tall. 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 you give 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 all 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, did you buy a tree? Why did you buy so many?"
Another person said: "Wrapped trees are very valuable. 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 shop owner 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 about five hundred... This one is small, four hundred at most...
As for this, the 35mm and 36mm ones are too small and not worth a lot of money if paired with a pair. We won’t accept them. Why don’t you take them back and exchange them and ask?”
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."
Not long after, 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.
Dozens or hundreds of yuan. After the final calculation, the shop owner said: "It comes out, the total is sixty-nine thousand and five hundred. Well, since the number is so large, I will give you a round number, seventy thousand yuan. I will have good walnuts in the future."
Forgot to look for me again."
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, knowing that he was not dreaming. After waiting for five minutes to receive the money from the shopkeeper, he quickly pretended to be in a daze and returned home.
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!
What is this concept!?
It’s enough to build a house with my mother’s hometown!
