"Miss Wang, Mr. Su, Miss Dong, please come in."
Seeing Wang Siya come in, several middle-aged men and women rushed forward to greet her. They are the children of the old man who contracted the land. They seem to know the identity of Wang Siya and are very polite.
"Miss Wang, Miss Dong, Mr. Su, it's a pleasure to meet you." Other people who came to the bidding meeting were also very polite.
Business is business. Whether they can grab it or not, they can't offend the Wang Family in the capital.
Some of them are already wondering if they can sell the land to the Wang Family as a favor if they can get it.
They don't mind working in vain, as long as Wang Yan is really willing to accept this favor.
Of course, some people really want to grab this land. After all, even if the Wang Family in the capital is rich and powerful, it is impossible to bully the market for this kind of thing.
"Miss Wang, welcome."
Even the white-haired old man sitting and drinking tea is very polite. He is the contractor of this land – Lu Xueliang. Looking at his attitude towards Wang Siya, everyone knows that Wang Siya has probably taken the lead.
"Don't be so polite, please sit down." Lu Xueliang's children greeted and poured tea for everyone, treating guests warmly.
Their thoughts are different from Lu Xueliang's. They want to sell this land as soon as possible so that they don't have to worry about this land. Lu Xueliang can also follow them to live in the city. The old man is old and they are worried about living here alone, but they don't want to live here with him.
"Mr. Lu, I heard that you like to collect peach pits?" A thin middle-aged man said.
Many competitors in the room pricked up their ears. In addition to liking Go, Lu Xueliang also likes to collect peach pits. This is no secret and they all know it.
"Yes." Lu Xueliang nodded.
"I don't know what kind of peach does the old man like, tiger head, lion head, official hat, chicken heart?" The thin middle-aged man smiled.
"Oh, I collect all kinds of things, and I like all kinds." Lu Xueliang talked about his interests and suddenly smiled.
"Some time ago, I happened to obtain an official hat. I don't know how to appreciate it, so I'll give it to you. See if you like it." The thin middle-aged man took out a box and handed it to Lu Xueliang.
"Oh?" Lu Xueliang didn't stand on ceremony and opened the box directly. Inside the box, there was a walnut.
It was steady and dignified, protruding in the shape of a dot, the two edges wide and straight, sharp and smooth.
The shape was beautiful, and it looked like the hats of Qing Dynasty officials.
It was worth mentioning that this kind of walnut was particularly sought after by the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. There was a saying, "With an official hat in hand, you can have anything you want." It was precisely because of this meaning that it was even more sought after.
"Not bad."
Lu Xueliang nodded appreciatively. Apparently, he liked it. The skinny middle-aged man was proud. He had chosen the right gift.
"Old Master Lu, it just so happens that I've also prepared a walnut. See if you like it."
At this moment, the long-faced young man sitting next to Wang Yan opened his mouth and handed a box to Lu Xueliang.
Before that, he looked at Sue with hostility.
It took a long time.
Lu Xueliang was still not polite. He took the box and opened it. Inside was a large walnut with a stable appearance, a convex belly and a flat bottom, thick edges and blunt tips, and a large concave bottom.
From the side, it looks like the shape of a horse's hoof.
Seeing this walnut, Lu Xueliang's eyes suddenly lit up, bursting out a ray of light. The thin middle-aged man and other competitors' faces changed slightly.
Those who know the industry know that this walnut is an authentic horseshoe lion head. Although this is not the rarest variety of lion head, this one is too big.
As one of the four famous walnuts, lion head walnut is a treasure series of walnuts.
The reason why it is named "lion head" is that after it is inverted, its shape is very similar to the mane of the stone lion in front of the old yamen.
Lion head walnuts have a long history. In ancient times, they were enthusiastically pursued by princes and nobles. Today, they are a very common category in literary toys.
In history, a scholar described the lion head like this: "gentle like a gentleman, honest like a sage, short and short like a dwarf, free from the dust like a child."
There are many varieties of lion head, and horseshoe lion head is one of them. Generally, the side width is more than 4 centimeters, it is more worth collecting, and the side width reaches 4.5 centimeters, it is very rare. Now the one in front of him is estimated to be 4.5 centimeters.
"What do you think, old man?" The long-faced young man caught Lu Xueliang's eyes and his face showed a trace of pride.
"Haha, very good, young man, you are thoughtful."
Lu Xueliang didn't hide his love at all. The skinny middle-aged man was a little depressed. The official hat that he had given out was inferior. The other competitors were also depressed. Some of them had also prepared walnuts, but they were far worse than the lion's head. They couldn't take them out now.
"Yan 'er, I said that Old Man Lu would like it."
The long-faced young man whispered triumphantly to Wang Yan next to him, but Wang Yan didn't hear it. His face was calm and he drank tea slowly. This reaction made the long-faced young man feel very unfulfilled.
The long-faced young man still had a smile on his face and thought: "Wang Yan just came to meet me to deal with his parents, but he didn't even look at me. I guess he thought I was a lazy rich second generation with no ability.
However, if I can make Sue.
She would probably have a whole new level of respect for him if he continued to compete.
This land is really good and it's worth taking.
While defeating the opponent, I can also develop the industry. Why not? "
What the long-faced young man didn't know was that his eyes just fell into the eyes of Wang Yan. Wang Yan has already guessed that meeting Sue here this time is not a coincidence.
The long-faced young man did it intentionally, which made her feel a little disgusted.
However, she didn't say anything. This time, her family didn't force her to marry someone else. Although the blind date was arranged by her parents, they didn't force it.
Wang Yan also went on a blind date with a normal mentality to see if the long-faced young man was worth dating. In many ways, the long-faced young man was excellent, but there was no feeling of love at first sight, so she planned to observe slowly and act relatively indifferent.
I didn't expect the long-faced man to arrange a meeting like this with Sue.
The chance encounter made her quite disappointed.
However, she didn't say anything. Perhaps she wanted to see if this long-faced young man could win against Sue.
For some reason, she really wanted to see Sue.
Suffering a setback, even just once, was good enough.
"Ah?
Did you prepare peach pits?
I prepared a peach pit, but it's not as good as others. "Dong Xun whispered.
"No." Sue replied.
He shook his head.
"How can you not prepare, I put all my hopes on you." Dong Xun laughed.
"You didn't say that he likes peach pits. Besides, I don't know anything about peach pits. Where can I get a peach pit?" Sue smiled and shook his head.
But just after saying this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, "Wait, no, I have a peach pit."
"Really?" Dong Xun and Wang Siya's eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it in the car." Sue
Running to the car was actually just for show. The walnut was in the storage bag. When he came back, there was a big walnut in his hand. Dong Xun and Wang Siya's first thought was whether they could package it in a box like others. But after seeing the walnut clearly, their eyes lit up, and Lu Xueliang suddenly stood up.
