Chapter 14 Apple Orchard Lion Head
The next morning.
Lin Yi was suddenly awakened by a powerful shout from outside the door!
He quickly put on his clothes and went out to take a look. As expected, his grandfather was practicing martial arts. The wind from his punches was so strong that the air trembled non-stop and he let out a thunderous roar!
Lin Yi clicked his tongue in admiration. His grandfather had been practicing martial arts since he was young and had not let it go until now. When he was young, he could hold a big knife and face five East Japanese devils at the same time!
Seeing that Lin Yi had come out, Lin Tonghe raised his eyebrows and took half a step forward. His palm pierced through Lin Yi's ear at lightning speed. His sleeves fluttered in the wind as he casually pulled Lin Yi into his arms. He rubbed his elbows and gently stroked Lin Yi's temple.
Lin Yi almost felt as if he had been pricked by needles and almost fainted!
"Grandpa, you're going to kill me!”Lin Yi held his head and complained. He almost thought his head was going to be blown up by his grandfather.
"Not to the extent of killing you. I just swept you with my force. However, at least ten Japanese and American devils died in the arms of my Arhat Eighteen Hands!”Lin Tonghe smiled slightly, his expression somewhat smug!
Lin Yi rolled his eyes helplessly. He really thought he was going to die just now.
"Get up. What's this pain to a man? Moreover, your footsteps are so weak. Have you forgotten the pole-standing skills I taught you?”
Without any explanation, Lin Tonghe directly lifted Lin Yi up.
"Come, practice with me."
As he spoke, Lin Tonghe stood up naturally. His feet were shoulder width apart, and his hands were placed on both sides of his waist. His eyes were closed as he looked forward.
Lin Yi sighed helplessly and got into a stance.
However, just as Lin Yi stood down, Lin Tonghe gently patted Lin Yi's tailbone. Lin Yi jumped up like a frightened cat, and his hair stood on end!
"What kind of horse stance is this?”Lin Tonghe said sternly.
In the morning, Lin Yi was tortured to the point of suffering. His entire body was sore and he limped on the mountain road.
"Do you know why I suddenly want to teach you martial arts now?”Lin Tonghe suddenly said.
Lin Yi shook his head. When he was young, he had practiced with his grandfather for a few years. Later on, he was busy with his homework in junior high school, so he did not learn anymore. Although his grandfather grumbled a few times, he had never forced him like today.
"You were just a student in the past. At most, you would fight with your classmates. You might as well not learn and avoid trouble. But now that you're going into society, it's different.”
At this point, Lin Tonghe paused and his expression darkened. After a long time, he said faintly,"The world is a little too chaotic now.”
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before nodding.
After all, this was not the era of peace and righteousness in the future. There were still many " heroes " in various places.
...
The hill where the walnuts were planted was not far from the village. After walking less than two miles, Lin Yi saw a dense walnut forest.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the densely packed walnuts in front of him. In his opinion, these little cuties covered in spots were simply little gold ingots! It was all money!
"This walnut forest is about 40 acres, with more than 30 walnuts per mu. I planted it with the members back then.”Lin Tonghe touched the walnut tree and sighed, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
"I originally thought that I could take the walnuts to exchange for some needles, thread, brain, or apples, persimmons, pears, etc. from other villages. At the very least, the children in the village could eat them themselves to nourish their brains and be snacks.”
"Who would have thought that the walnuts would grow, but the species was not right? A normal walnut tree can produce 500 catties of dried walnuts, but this walnut tree is good. A tree can only produce 300 catties of dried walnuts, and the walnuts are very big. Ordinary thin-skinned walnuts only weigh three coins, but this one is actually half a kilogram!”
"The number of walnuts on a tree is less than twice that of a normal walnut tree!”
" That's not all. Most importantly, the skin is frighteningly thick after it's smashed open. Moreover, the walnuts inside are only a little bigger than peanuts. They can't be exchanged. Even the children are unwilling to eat them. They find it tiring and not delicious.”Lin Tonghe shook his head helplessly.
There were few things that he could not do in his life. Even if it was an American camp, he would definitely be able to take it down if he said so. This walnut forest was one of the few failures in his life.
However, Lin Tonghe did not notice that Lin Yi's eyes were already shining. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
Heavy meant big size, and thick skin meant good texture. These were the two most important indicators of Wenwan Walnuts.
As for the small result and the small walnut, it was not a problem in Lin Yi's eyes at all!
The most important thing now was to see what kind of walnut it was. He didn't ask for anything like a lion's head or an official's hat. He just wanted a chicken's heart, tiger's head, or a young master's hat.
Moreover, from the experience of the richest man in the town in his previous life, this walnut tree species was definitely not trash. Otherwise, how could he earn millions in an instant?
"Let's go and see what kind of walnuts these are.”Lin Tonghe laughed.
At this moment, the walnuts had just ripened. The skin was green and translucent, round and shiny. Lin Yi took a look and carefully selected them. Then, he picked two walnuts of different sizes.
Using the knife he carried with him, he gently cut the big walnut. As soon as the blade entered the green skin, Lin Yi's face suddenly lit up.
The blade had only sunk two to three millimeters into the peel, and it had already touched the walnut shell!
What did this mean? It meant that the green skin was extremely thin, and it also meant that the walnut inside was definitely not small.
No matter what kind of walnut it was, the size of the walnut would always be the most important indicator of its price. Compared to a walnut with four eights, the value of a walnut with three eights was like heaven and earth. One could be worth a few hundred yuan at most, while the other could be worth hundreds of thousands. The difference was hundreds of times.
Lin Yi cleaned up the white silk that was attached to it.
At this moment, a walnut that looked like an apple with an apple base appeared in front of Lin Yi. It had a dignified appearance, thick edges, and a flat bottom.
"Apple Orchard Lion Head!" Lin Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and roared.
Although he knew that the walnuts on the walnut tree were definitely not some trash species, he did not expect them to be lion heads in the apple orchard!
The Apple Orchard Lion's Head could not be compared to the Mud-pointed Lion's Head, the Baby's Breath Lion's Head, and the Kylin Lion's Head that Kangxi had made. It was even more different than the clouds and mud, but it was definitely one of the top quality walnuts!
Lin Yi took a closer look and confirmed that this was the Apple Orchard Lion Head. The Apple Orchard Lion Head's green eyes were quite unique. It had a round tail and a round valve, and the lines were stretched out. It was very beautiful.
Apple orchards were grown in the mountainous area west of Yanjing. The first characteristic of apple orchards was that they were short and round, just like apples.
The third was that the skin was super hard, the sound was super crisp, the color was fast, and the lines were very good. Even the top and tip of the stomach had lines. This part of the other walnuts had the least lines.
The most important thing was that the green fruit had a special characteristic-it had a thin skin and a large filling.
Looking at how big the green fruit was, the walnut was almost the same size when it was peeled open. It was a classic lion's head of the old breed. Because it was very plump and round, with a circle in the middle and a square in the circle, it was shaped like an apple and was called the apple round.
"How much is this worth?" Lin Tonghe blinked and asked.
"This pair is worth at least 20 yuan!”Lin Yi said solemnly.
"So expensive!" Lin Tonghe gasped.
It wasn't like he hadn't sold these walnuts before. It was just that he didn't sell them back then. It was called exchanging work points.
A pound of walnuts had never been sold for a single work point. At that time, a strong laborer in Qianfang Village could earn about eight work points a day. At the end of the year, one work point was worth about two cents.
However, he had never sold any walnuts that cost two cents per catty. All of them had rotted in the ground.
Now, Lin Yi was telling him that two walnuts cost 20 yuan!
He must be crazy!
It was even more overboard than robbing money!
Seeing his grandfather's incredulous look, Lin Yi smiled. Apple Garden Lion's Head, was 20 yuan a pair expensive?
In the future, even though there were more than 40 acres of land, more than 1,000 walnut trees, and hundreds of thousands of walnuts, they would probably be robbed in less than an hour.
At this moment, with the rapid appreciation of stamps and antiques, the price of Wenwan Walnuts rose steadily under the hype of people with ulterior motives. However, compared to the future, it was simply insignificant.
Wenwan walnuts were really copied around 2008. It reached its peak in 2015 and then fell.
At that time, for example, a pair of lion heads in Apple Orchard would cost at least 2,000 yuan. It was terrifyingly high.
However, it still couldn't stop people from gambling crazily. If they could get a pair of four threes or more, it would be worth at least 5,000 yuan.
If it was more than four fives, it would basically cost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. If it was more than four eights, it would cost 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.
At that time, people joked that the best walnuts were more expensive than a BMW.
At the end of the day, was Wenwan Walnut worth this price?
It was not worth it. No matter how good the walnuts were praised, they had no effect on strengthening the body, slowing down the aging of the body, preventing cardiovascular diseases, and preventing strokes.
Legend has it that when Shen Nong was tasting hundreds of herbs, he accidentally picked two walnuts. After peeling them, one was smooth and the other had deep patterns."Edible!"
The one with the deep pattern is hard to break when you stab your hand. The skin is thick and it is difficult to take. I hold it in my hand for a long time and say: "You can fool me!"
This was the earliest record of Wenwan Walnut.
Lin Yi did not believe it at all, especially the so-called Shennong records at the end. It was simply putting gold on his face.
In his opinion, it was money that moved people's hearts.
Especially the appearance of gambling green skins, which greatly increased the value of the literary walnuts.
At this moment, the Wenwan Walnut had already left its original function and became a financial product.
If people were optimistic about the price of Wenwan walnuts, they could hold back and wait for the price to rise.
In other words, Wenwan Walnuts had two characteristics: gambling and stocks.
Lin Yi cut another walnut open and couldn't help but grin.
Although he didn't have a vernier calliper in his hand, he could see with his naked eye that the apple garden behind him was obviously bigger than the previous one.
This was the charm of gambling gangsters.
Even the Apple Garden Lion's Head, which was famous for its thin skin and large filling, could not be sure how big the walnut inside was until it was completely peeled open.
