Dong Xuebing stood in front of the walnut stall and observed quietly.
The stall owner shouted: "This year's Chicken Hearts are not bad. Let's bet on a pair."
Someone took a pair of Chicken Hearts and said: "I will bet on this pair."
"Ok." The lady boss with the northeastern accent took the 200 RMB note and threw it into a plastic basket. Then, she skillfully used a knife to cut the surface of the green walnut. Soon, most of the flesh on the surface of the green walnut was shaved off. After that, she picked up a brush and rinsed it with water in a white plastic bucket. After that, she used a caliper to measure the walnut. The lady boss said regretfully, "There's a bit of dark skin. One is 37 and the other is 39. It doesn't match." This size was considered to be average. It should be at least 42mm. Chicken Hearts were a flaw. Walnuts with chicken hearts or other flaws would not be worth as much even if they were bigger.
The buyer heard this and walked away speechlessly.
A while later, someone bought a pair of Lion's Head walnuts. The Lion's Head walnuts were 39mm and 41mm respectively.
The next person bought a 36mm and 38mm Lion's Head walnuts.
The next person bought a 40mm and 39mm Lion's Head walnuts.
Seeing this situation, Dong Xuebing gave up on the idea of betting on the walnuts. There were so many walnuts, and none of them had a 42mm Lion's Head walnut. The chances of a 46mm Lion's Head walnut was even slimmer. Even if Dong Xuebing was lucky, there was no chance.
But Dong Xuebing was also unwilling to give up.
10 minutes … …
30 minutes … …
1 hour … …
Dong Xuebing stood in front of the stall for 2 hours. The walnuts were getting lesser and lesser.
There were more than 100 Lion's Head walnuts, and there were less than 30 left. The Chicken Hearts were sold out, and the stall owner brought out a new basket from the back. But Dong Xuebing had not seen any Lion's Head walnuts above 44mm. A 43.8mm Lion's Head walnut was the biggest. In the future, the walnuts will shrink after the water evaporated, and the 43.8mm Lion's Head will at most be 43mm.
Too small!
All of them were too small!
At noon, he bought a Wheaten Chicken Burger Set Meal at KFC. After that, he came back here and stared at it.
10 … …
20 … …
50 … …
At 4 pm, Dong Xuebing was exhausted. His eyes were blurry, and his legs were numb.
At this time, there were not many customers, and the boss of the Northeast region had time to take a breather. The female boss looked at Dong Xuebing with a weird expression. "Young man, do you want to bet?" She had noticed Dong Xuebing since the morning and had been watching him for seven to eight hours. But he did not buy anything.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and shook his head.
Someone had bet 44.7mm, but it was still far from Dong Xuebing's 46mm.
Sigh, the chances are really too small. Let's go back?
It's getting late, and Dong Xuebing decided to watch one more couple before leaving.
"How much is the dwarf lion head?" At this time, a burly middle-aged man with a similar build as Zhuang Zhi squatted in front of the basket.
The stall owner said: "400 RMB for a pair of Panshan Lion Heads. The bigger ones are more expensive. We have 600 RMB and 1,000 RMB."
There were not many lion heads left in the basket. The burly man stretched out his long arms and searched the basket. In the end, he took out 2 rotten and yellowish green peels from the left side of the basket. He threw it to the stall owner. "I want this. Open it!" The yellowish color was due to the time they had been under the tree for too long. Even if they were kept in the fridge, the green color would not last long. But it will not affect the quality of the walnuts.
"These two are bigger. 800 RMB."
The burly man took out his wallet and said: "Open it!"
"Okay." The boss pinched the green skin, touched the knife with his blackened hand, and began to peel it skillfully.
The first Dwarf Lion Head appeared in front of them. It was 43.3mm in length, which was not too bad.
The burly man was satisfied and nodded: "Continue! Let's see if it is good enough for you! "
The stall owner picked up the second green peel and started to peel.
1 slice … …
2 slices … …
3 slices … …
"Eh! Look! Look! This walnut … … "
"Ah! That's incredible! "The crowd of onlookers exclaimed softly.
Dong Xuebing was also stunned. He stared at the half peeled green peel. Although he did not use a ruler to measure the size, he could tell that the lion head inside was very big!
The boss made an "uh" sound and didn't continue. Instead, he took the caliper and tilted it to the side. Finally, he looked at the lady boss in surprise. "It's almost 47mm, 46.8!"
Dong Xuebing was shocked. What? 46.8mm？ In the future, if I retract my hand, it will also be 46mm!
Damn! Isn't this the walnut I am looking for? It really came out!
"Hi, I would like to ask you a question." Dong Xuebing was afraid someone else would get it before him. He looked at the burly man and asked: "Are you selling this 46.8mm lion head? What's the price? "
The burly man laughed: "I am not selling! This is a good item, and I must keep it for my collection! "
Dong Xuebing quickly replied: "It is not good enough for your collection, and it will not be beautiful. You … …"
"I said I am not selling!" The burly man waved his hand and smiled at the stall owner. "Continue to peel!"
What should I do? What should I do?
Dong Xuebing was in a dilemma. This was a rare opportunity. If he missed it … …
That's right! Damn! How come I forgot about it?
BACK！！
… …
Dong Xuebing felt dizzy, and the scene changed!
"How much are you selling this short stump lion head?"
"400 RMB for a pair of Panshan Lion Heads. The bigger ones are more expensive. We have 600 RMB and 1,000 RMB."
The burly man stretched out his hands and grabbed the two big green peels on the left!
Dong Xuebing quickly bent over and grabbed the two rotten green peels before the burly man could grab them. "I want these two! Boss! Can you help me peel them? " When Dong Xuebing was choosing the fruits, he noticed that these two peels had more rotten skin and were easy to recognize.
The burly man frowned and looked at Dong Xuebing. He was wondering why Dong Xuebing was so excited. He stopped and grabbed the other two peels.
The stall owner looked at Dong Xuebing's hand. "800 RMB."
Dong Xuebing paid without hesitation. His heart was racing.
Please don't have any pubic skin! Please don't have bug eyes! Please! Oh, please!
Dong Xuebing's knife landed on the first fruit.
One time … …
Two times … …
Three times … …
After a while, under the envious and shocked gazes of the crowd, the Lion Head was peeled off!
No flaws! No pubic skin!
46.8mm！！
The burly man was jealous. Dong Xuebing was so lucky!
The stall owner and his wife were stunned. This young man, Dark Elbow, was really something. He did not sell anything from morning till afternoon. But the moment he opened his mouth, he got a 46mm fruit! Could it be that he knows how to look at green peels? Impossible! They had been in the walnut business for so many years, and they still could not understand!
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath with the lion's head in his hand.
Hahahaha! I got it!
Four sixes Lion Heads were actually in his hands!!
