10: Explode the Dragon Head Again

"Please!"

Liu Tianji also nodded.

Ultimately, he was still a businessman at heart.

When it came to probabilistic events, he had his own set of standards!

If the probability didn't reach a certain level, even if two hundred thousand yuan was nothing to him, he wouldn't pursue it.

Su Can watched his serious expression, and his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.

Although he had an inexplicable confidence in the century-old walnut tree, when it came to probability, not even the heavens dared to be too absolute until the very last moment.

Even if these five hundred-plus walnuts had a ninety percent fruit-bearing rate, the probability of getting all bad fruits was still very high.

So, to say Su Can wasn't nervous was clearly a pretense.

His palms were actually sweating a little.

After all, it was over two hundred thousand yuan!

It was not a small sum, whether for him in his past life or in his current one.

Watching Old Liu close his eyes slightly and casually grab a handful of walnuts from the pile.

Su Can's expression tightened involuntarily, his mind completely captivated.

Liu Tianji looked down at the walnuts he had grabbed; they were noticeably smaller than the previous one.

Su Can also noticed and immediately felt less optimistic.

As expected.

After carefully examining them, Liu Tianji took out a marker and only made two marks.

"It really is a probabilistic event. With so many large fruits, I casually grabbed a small one!"

Su Can smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems this walnut has no edge (affinity) with being multi-ridged, and the size of the walnut when opened won't be very large. It all depends on whether the appearance is good!"

Driver Xiao Wang also stared intently, waiting for Liu Tianji to act.

Liu Tianji shook his head slightly, already having a premonition.

So he acted decisively, cutting along the mark, and a large ridge was immediately exposed.

However, before Su Can and Xiao Wang could see clearly, Liu Tianji suddenly stopped, casually tossed the walnut aside, and said faintly, "It's a dud!"

He had no interest in continuing to open it, tossing it on the ground and reaching into the pile of walnuts again.

Driver Xiao Wang, on the other hand, picked up the walnut curiously and looked at it.

Su Can also stepped closer and glanced, noticing that the large ridge that had been exposed was slightly twisted from the beginning, a not-to-be-ignored flaw!

"It's indeed a dud!" Su Can shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

He could only pray that the next walnuts opened would have a decent appearance.

Otherwise, if the other party didn't buy them in bulk and he had to open and sell them one by one, it would be a huge hassle for him.

"Oh?"

Just then, Liu Tianji suddenly let out a surprised sound.

Su Can quickly looked over and saw Liu Tianji's expression suddenly become excited. He repeatedly rubbed the walnut in his hand, seemingly in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Old Liu?"

Su Can was also a bit confused by his appearance.

But Liu Tianji had no time to pay attention to him; he continued to rub the walnut, deepening his perception.

His expression grew increasingly excited, and then he quickly used a marker to circle five marks in a row.

It wasn't until he saw the marks that Su Can suddenly realized.

"Old Liu, this! Could it be another five-ridged dragon head?"

Su Can's expression couldn't help but become excited. If he could really open another dragon head, then this round would be stable.

"While I'm not one hundred percent sure, based on my many years of experience, it's about eighty to ninety percent certain!"

Liu Tianji was clearly very excited, his face flushed with emotion.

For a cultural play enthusiast who has reached an obsessive level, being able to personally open a dragon head is definitely something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Tianji picked up his tools and began to cut along the first mark.

Crack!

A piece of shell was cut open, revealing a large ridge inside.

The ridge was thick, vibrant, and its texture and color were full, looking very good at first glance.

Liu Tianji's eyes immediately lit up: "Good! We have one!"

"Let's look at the second one next!"

Liu Tianji excitedly turned the walnut and cut along the second mark.

Su Can also seemed to have his mind controlled, his gaze fixed on his movements.

With a soft sound, Su Can's heart tightened, and his gaze instantly focused.

The next second, he heard Liu Tianji excitedly say, "We have one! The second one is also there!"

"There really is one!" Su Can saw it clearly, and his heart also stirred with excitement.

Immediately after, Liu Tianji eagerly began to open the third mark.

Crack!

As the third mark was cut open.

A vibrant large ridge appeared before their eyes.

The three people instantly let out a surprised cheer.

Next was the fourth mark!

The moment the cut was revealed, all three held their breath, their eyes fixed on it.

At this moment, the three people had clearly forgotten about practicality, leaving only the thrilling feeling of opening a blind box.

When the shell on the cut was peeled away.

When a vibrant and full large ridge was exposed.

Whether it was Su Can, Liu Tianji, or Driver Xiao Wang, they all cheered like an appreciative audience.

"We have it! We have it! It's four-ridged, hahaha..."

The three of them combined were over a hundred years old, yet at this moment, they were as happy as children.

This was probably the charm of cultural play!

After laughing for a while, the three of them composed themselves. Looking at the last mark, they were excitedly anticipating it, but also couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

It was Su Can who took a deep breath and said, "Old Liu, go ahead. It's just this one cut, one way or another!"

"Then... shall I go ahead?" Liu Tianji looked at Su Can with some hesitation.

Su Can nodded and said, "Go!"

"Good!"

Liu Tianji himself was a very decisive person, but he was so obsessed with this craft that at the last step, he became a bit indecisive.

Because once a person has too high expectations, if those expectations are dashed, the sense of disappointment can crush them.

"Then I'll start!"

Liu Tianji took a deep breath, constantly praying that he would open a dragon head.

The next second.

Crack!

He cut open the last mark.

Instantly, three pairs of eyes stared intently.

At the cut, a thick, ridged, deep red large ridge, incredibly eye-catching, stood out.

The three people immediately exchanged glances.

The next second, a joyous, almost boisterous laughter erupted from the main hall.

"It's done! Five-ridged! It really is five-ridged! Hahahaha..."

"A five-ridged dragon head! This is stable now, it matches! Hahahaha!!"

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I, Liu Tianji, would actually be able to personally open a dragon head! Hahaha"

"Quick, quick, Xiao Wang, bring me the brush and calipers from my toolbox. I need to clean it and measure its size and appearance to see if it can form a perfect pair with Su Can's!"

Liu Tianji suddenly became excited again, asking the driver to get the tools and quickly clean the walnut.

The moment the walnut was cleaned, the three people couldn't help but exclaim again, "Good stuff! Perfectly shaped!"

Especially when the dragon head opened by Su Can was also brought out and placed together, a sense of amazement made all three genuinely like it.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Liu Tianji admired it for a while, full of praise, then looked at Su Can and said, "I'm a man of my word. I'll take all these walnuts for two hundred twenty thousand."

"Old Liu, aren't you going to open another one to see?"

Su Can asked with a smile, though he was greatly relieved inside.

"No need! Business is about integrity, and I also trust my intuition. This deal will only make a profit, not a loss!"

"Also, I will pay for these two dragon head separately."

Liu Tianji examined the two dragon head, throwing out a surprising statement to Su Can without even looking back.

Su Can wasn't pretentious; having just been reborn, he was short on money, and he sincerely nodded, "Alright, then I thank Old Liu for his support."

"You don't need to thank me. I don't know why, but you always give me the feeling that you're not an ordinary person. This can be considered an investment on my part."

Liu Tianji smiled, then picked up the calipers and began to measure the error between the two walnuts.
