"Boss Zhao, you can help you see, but I don't guarantee that I can bet on the rough..."

Hearing Zhao Hongtao's request, Abao smiled bitterly on his face. Since the gambling tree is a word for gambling, it means that luck is far more important than experience. Abao has bet with Lao Gu several times in recent years, and has won and lost. He has no confidence in the gambling tree.

Therefore, compared to gambling trees at a relatively cheap price, Abao prefers to buy cut and peeled yellow rosewood trees directly. Although it is much more expensive, it does not require any risk. As long as it is made into beads or handicrafts, Abao will make sure to make a profit.

"Abao, you just need to tell me the year of the tree..." Zhao Hongtao also knew that his plea made Abao feel a little embarrassed. If Abao wins every gambling, there is no need to bring himself to bet on the tree.

"This is no problem. Amin will explain it to you later..."

Abao thought for a while, lowered his voice and said, "Boss Zhao, the longer the Huanghuali tree is, the thicker the grid inside it will be. In addition, the fewer branches, the higher the chance of being out of line. If you master these points, you can make a preliminary judgment..."

"Abao, you have something else you forgot to say..." After hearing Abao's words, Man Jun added: "The worse the environment in which the Huanghuali tree grows, the better the quality of the grid inside. Abao, am I right?"

Although Man Jun was the first time he participated in gambling trees, he had a lot of contact with Abao before, so he had a good understanding of Huanghuali Tree. He might not be able to win by asking him to gamble, but he could still say a few words in theory.

"Brother Man is right..."

Abao laughed when he heard this, pointed at Amin and said, "But Amin won't tell you which tree was dug from there. At most, he will only tell you which ones he planted..."

"That's fine, there should be a difference between wild and planted..."

Zhao Hongtao is in his forties, but at this moment he is so excited that he is like a child, constantly rubbing the yellow rosewood tree on the ground with his hands, and his eyes can't wait to see the situation inside through the trunk.

Just as Zhao Hongtao asked Abao for knowledge about gambling trees, Aming also came over. He had just picked some star fruits and placed them on the table under the straw hut. Aming said, "Old Gu, how are you looking? Boss Zhao and the others are new here today. Why don't I... let me talk about the rules first and then you can see?"

"It's all the same thing, just tell me the price is not enough..." Lao Gu looked even more enthusiastic than Zhao Hongtao. After hearing A Ming's words, he said without raising his head: "Aming, I'm here to drill a hole. Can you let me drill a hole?"

"No, I'm just gambled all today and I can't drill holes..."

Aming shook his head, looked at Lao Gu and said, "Lao Gu, we are old friends. This ugly thing is ahead. If you drill holes in the tree while I am not paying attention, don't come to our Miao Village again in the future..."

Although the Miao people are very enthusiastic, they are not polite to those who do not abide by their rules. After hearing Lao Gu's words with a hand drill, Amin's face suddenly became a little unpleasant.

"Amin, what you said, is I, Old Gu, such a person?" The few people next to him could see that Old Gu was still a little concerned about Amin, so he simply took out the hand drill in his bag and said, "Is this thing OK to put it there?"

"Well? Lao Gu, I'm not right to the people. This time I'm gambling all, so I can't use my hand drill..." Seeing Lao Gu handing over the hand drill, Amin's face calmed down.

"What is Lao Gu's use of that hand drill?" Although Fang Yi merged with society quickly, he grew up on the mountain. He really didn't know what the hand drill was for, so he asked Abao in a low voice.

"Hand drilling can drill holes in wood. At that time, you can see whether there is a grid inside from the wood chips brought out from the drill bit. As long as you drill a few more holes, you can naturally judge the thickness of the grid, and the difficulty of gambling trees will be greatly reduced..."

Abao explained to Fang Yi. When he saw Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun’s faces were also confused, he simply said to Aming loudly: “Aming, explain to these guests that you have me what it means to be full gambling and half gambling. They have been in contact with gambling trees for the first time, but they don’t understand it very much…”

"Okay, then I'll tell you some bosses first..."

Just after getting 40,000 or 50,000 yuan from Man Jun, Aming's attitude towards Man Jun was still very good. He said now: "What we are talking about here is that the whole huanghuali tree is not hurt at all. We can only judge whether the inside of the tree is standard from the appearance. The trees I took out this time were all greedy...

As for half-gambling, you can saw the trunks off. You can look at the grids on the cut surface, and according to the thickness of the cut surface, then bet whether these grids can penetrate the entire trunk, whether there will be faults in the middle, and whether the patterns will change. This is called half-gambling, and the risk will be smaller than the full gambling...

Also, like Lao Gu, drilling holes in the tree with his hands. Through this hole, you can judge the quality of the rosewood inside. This is also a category of half-gambling, but it is more eye-catching than half-gambling. Generally, people who play yellow rosewood all year round cannot see it..."

The grid of Huanghuali is actually caused by the internal oil production, causing changes in the structure of the tree. Rosewood is usually divided into two types: oil pear and bran pear. Bran pear is more common. Generally, most of the rosewoods that have been in the thirty or forty years are bran pears.

The quality of oil pears is higher than that of bran pears, among which purple oil pears are the best. Of course, many people also like the tiger skin pattern in bran pears. The prices of top bran pears and oil pears are not much different.

Experienced people can judge the quality of yellow rosewood in a tree by just a little bit of wood chips brought out from the drill bit. Ah Ming considered that Zhao Hongtao and others were first exposed to gambling trees, so they set the rules for gambling, otherwise they would not have any chance to beat Lao Gu.

"Aming, the rules are clear. Tell me about the years and prices of these trees..." Old Gu had been a little impatient when he heard it. When Aming finished speaking, he started to yell.

"These six trees are divided into three years..."

Amin didn't say anything nonsense, walked to the middle of a few trees and said, "The two trees on the left are from twenty-five years. They were planted by my grandfather in his own yard when I was a child. This time, in order to get a few more trees, I dug them out...

The two rosewood trees in the middle are about fifty years old, and I dug them from the mountain more than ten miles away. As for the two trees on the right, they are the yellow rosewood trees on the stone mountain. These are also the last two remaining on the stone mountain, and they are about fifty or sixty years old..."

"What? Huanghuali on the stone mountain?" After hearing Aming's words, Lao Gu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Aming, didn't you say that the rosewood trees on the stone mountain have disappeared long ago? Why are two more trees coming out?"

As a native native, Lao Gu naturally knew that in the entire Qiong Province, the distribution of yellow rosewood in Lingshui area is the least, but one thing is the most famous, that is, the quality of yellow rosewood growing on stone mountains is far higher than that of rosewood trees in other places.

"These two were found on a cliff. Lao Gu, the stone mountain is so big, maybe there are still a few left. You also know that the rosewood trees on the mountain are hard to find..."

Aming explained to Lao Gu that although the name of Shishan is Shishan, it is just because there are many rocks in the mountain and there is a cave in the mountains. It does not mean that the whole mountain does not grow in all the grass. On the contrary, the woods on the stone mountain are also very dense.

It is not a simple matter to find a yellow rosewood tree in a mountain full of green plants. Due to visual reasons, sometimes even if you walk past the yellow rosewood tree, you will often ignore it.

Therefore, although the yellow rosewood trees on the stone mountain have been repeatedly cut down by nets, they still miss some of them. After receiving Abao's call, Amin wandered around the stone mountain for four or five days before finding these two yellow rosewood trees.

"Amin, what are the low prices of these two trees on the stone mountain?"

The last time Lao Gu saw the yellow rosewood growing on the stone mountain was last year. It was an old tree that had been more than 200 years old. The heartwood produced was not only of excellent quality, but also had a thick grid. It could make a set of ring chairs and was bought for 200,000 yuan.

The person who bought the yellow rosewood tree was from Beijing. Lao Gu once asked about it. After the man placed the tree for more than a year, he made a set of ring chairs with the heartwood inside, and sold it for 800,000 yuan. It tripled in one go.

Although these two yellow rosewood trees are not as old as last time, it is hard to see the fifty-year-old yellow rosewood trees now. If you are lucky, these two trees may be able to make a good chair together.

"The bottom price of trees in the 25th year is 6,000 yuan, and the bottom price of these two trees in the middle is 12,000 yuan. As for the two trees on the stone mountain, the bottom price is 20,000 yuan. If you want to bet, you will bet together and not sold separately. Several bosses can consider it..."

Amin simply quoted the price of six huanghuali trees of different years and origins. The same huanghuali trees of fifty or sixty years are much more expensive than the others.
