    Meng Zitao smiled and said a few words of modesty, and then Xia Dayou took everyone into the house.

    Xia Dayou¡¯s wife died of a serious illness many years ago. Now he stays at home alone, living alone in a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms. It feels deserted, and elderly people tend to be lonely. Both Meng Zitao and He Wanyi feel that he is a little pitiful.

    After Xia Dayou poured tea for the two of them, He Wanyi asked: "Uncle Xia, does Sister Qingqing come back usually?"

    "She is quite busy and doesn't have time to take care of the children. How can she come back often." Xia Dayou smiled and shook his head, but there was some bitterness in his smile.

    He Wanyi thought for a while and said, "Uncle Xia, don't you like playing chess? You can also play chess with the elderly in the community to cultivate your sentiments."

    Xia Dayou smiled and said: "It's not like you don't know that I'm a bad chess player. I go to the community to play chess with others, and no one wants to play with me. They say it's boring to win, and no one wants to play with me. It's just that I  Look at this guy, I feel itchy just because I can¡¯t look at him, so I might as well just stay out of sight.¡±

    He Wanyi continued: "Then you can develop another hobby, so that you have something to do every day. Not only will you feel good, but it will also be good for your body."

    "Look at this, isn't it?" Xia Dayou showed the bracelet on his hand and said: "I am studying the bracelet now. This bracelet was bought for me by Qingqing knowing that I like this now. It is said to be made of red sandalwood.  I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s right.¡±

    Meng Zitao looked at it and said with a smile: "It's no surprise that he is from the old Zitan. It seems that Sister Qingqing is quite filial to you."

    "How do you say, what does this have to do with filial piety?" Xia Dayou asked curiously.

    Meng Zitao explained: "Generally speaking, what kind of bracelets an old man wears can tell something about his character. For example, if an old man wears a bracelet made of red sandalwood or huanghuali,  It shows that his children are filial and have a relatively high social status, because the elderly are generally reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy themselves such expensive and impractical items."

    "If an elderly person wears a string of mainstream bracelets, it means that the elderly person has an easy-going personality, is willing to be consistent with everyone, and has a lot of fun in life. He is a person who loves life and is good at making friends, because everyone can appreciate such bracelets.  Anyone who can afford it is wearing it, which is a public topic among everyone.¡±

    "And if an elderly person wears a non-mainstream bracelet, such as an uncommon variety like the Blood Dragon Wood, it means that he has a lot of personality but also loves life. He may be an old gangster. If you go east, I will go west.  .¡±

    Xia Dayou nodded and said: "Don't tell me, it really makes sense. Does that young man have anything to say about wearing a bracelet?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Indeed, there are also some sayings. If a young man wears a high-end bracelet, it means that he is a very idle person, because he has a lot of time to study what kind of bracelet is good, what kind of bracelet is valuable, and  Time is spent on selecting and maintaining bracelets, while really busy people wear watches because they don¡¯t have time to carefully select and play with them, nor do they have a lot of time to study the connotations of bracelets.¡±

    "If a young man wears a set of mainstream bracelets, it means that this person is motivated, optimistic and easy to socialize with. Because choosing bracelets has not become his main choice and hobby in life, but he does not want to lag behind others, so he just goes with it.  Everyone has bought a set of mainstream bracelets in line with the trend. If a young man wears a low-end and non-mainstream bracelet, he may be a person who has high ambitions and low abilities, and likes to show off but has no strength.¡±

    "Of course, these statements are definitely too absolute. There are exceptions to everything. These are just topics we talk about in casual chats and should not be taken seriously."

    "No, no, no, I think it makes sense."

    Xia Dayou said with a smile: "A few days ago, I saw on the Internet that the material and combination of bracelets can reflect a person's personality. For example, the contrast between the materials used on bracelets indicates that the person has a certain sense of aesthetics.  , has an open and bold personality, and is relatively smart, which avoids the repetition and monotony caused by the same material; and if the color contrast is large, it means that the person does not have an overall view, has a stubborn personality, and often has an aesthetic sense of point-to-point, which makes it easy to be fooled."

    "There are also things like the color tone of materials, which can also reflect a person's personality, etc. I want to study this aspect. Maybe in a few years, a related book will be published."

    He Wanyi said: "Uncle Xia, I support you and hope to read your works as soon as possible."

    Xia Dayou smiled and said: "Haha, these are just some of my ideas, and researching this requires a lot of information. I am a loner, and I don't know anyone in the antique industry. It is a bit difficult to complete the research."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Maybe I can do this."Taste.  The reason why it is called this is because when viewed upside down, the walnut pattern looks like the mane of the stone lion in front of the Yamen in the old days.

    The market for on-site walnuts is growing, and the price of lion head walnuts is changing drastically every year, especially the high-quality products, which are even more expensive.  For example, in 2009, the price of a pair of newly planted lion heads with a diameter of about 45 mm is about 15,000 yuan. If they have been played for ten years, the price will be very high.

    Back to the subject, Mr. Wu shook his head: "It doesn't count years of collecting. I have only been playing with walnuts for two or three years. It's just that I'm prone to obsession. Once I like something, I won't give up until I get it. I spent all these years  I spent a lot of money on walnuts, and I felt that I couldn¡¯t go on like this anymore, so I planned to sell some of my collection and take it easy in the future.¡±

    Meng Zitao nodded and picked up a pair of walnuts with brown skin. Generally speaking, all walnuts are light brown at the beginning. After two or three years on the plate, the patina of the walnuts comes out, and the color gradually becomes darker and becomes  Brown, if played for another three to five years, the walnuts will turn maroon, and their value will rise.

    So this pair of walnuts should be walnuts that have been in the market for two or three years, and judging from the patina, they should be played with frequently recently.

    Meng Zitao was slightly confused because the pair of lion heads had the same shape, size and color, and they were also millstone lion heads.

    Mopan Shitou is one of the precious varieties of Wenwan walnuts. It has been around since ancient times. Therefore, there are many preserved old walnuts in the world. They are named according to their shape characteristics. Because the walnut piles are short and the belly is big, when two walnuts are stacked on top of each other, they are named after them.  The shape resembles a millstone, hence the name Mopan Lion Head. Because of the small W-shaped tip, it is not easy to fall off the tip when dropped on the ground, so it is also called a dull-pointed lion head. Usually, the edges are thick and strong, one is high and the other is low. It is rare to find an upright shape.

    This variety is relatively small, with a side-to-side width of generally between 38mm and 45mm, which is not very large, and the texture is convex and full. Plate a pair of relatively large walnuts, and it will feel like your hands are growing, so the value of a larger one is higher.  Different from other walnuts, it does not have a stinging feeling and can be grasped hard to play with. The overall density is high and it is easier to change color when you first get started. It is very popular among collectors of art and toys.

    The pair of Mopan lion heads in front of you are not only rare Zhou Zheng, but their size is estimated to be about 45mm, and the difference between the pair is very subtle. They are among the finest Mopan lion heads.

    Let¡¯s not talk about the price of this pair of millstone lion heads. Generally speaking, players who like to play with walnuts will not be able to cherish a pair of these lion heads before they can cherish them. How can they be willing to sell them?  This can also be seen from the batter of walnuts.

    Maybe some friends will say, isn¡¯t this seller determined not to let himself be addicted to Wenwan walnuts, so it¡¯s normal to sell it, right?

    ¡° If he just sold the other walnuts on the table, Meng Zitao wouldn¡¯t think much about it, but the key pair of walnuts is that the owner plays with it every day.  Under normal circumstances, would a person sell something he loves so easily?  It must be quite rare for people to do this, right?

    Therefore, Meng Zitao felt that there might be something wrong with the origin of these walnuts. Simply put, they might not belong to Mr. Wu himself.

    Of course, these are just small questions and speculations in Meng Zitao's mind. There may be many inside stories that he doesn't know. Maybe Mr. Wu collects walnuts just in the hope that the value of walnuts will increase and bring him benefits, and he plays with walnuts just for the sake of it.  Just increase income.

    Meng Zitao had doubts in his mind, so he asked Mr. Wu a few indirect questions. After asking these questions, he knew that his guess should be correct. These walnuts should not be Mr. Wu's own, because this man  Even the simple knowledge of playing with walnuts was wrong. He didn't believe that the other party could play with the pair of millstone lion heads and pulp discs so well.

    In this case, of course Meng Zitao cannot let the other party succeed (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
