The next evening, after Yun Shudai returned from filming all day, Lao He told her to prepare to leave for Haicheng.
"Don't you still have a cultural performance to attend? Aren't you going?"
"The cultural performance is the day after tomorrow. I'll leave right after my performance."
"Oh, is it the same as before this time?"
"More or less. I might visit my older brother when I get to Kunming. Oh, by the way, I received two nice things yesterday."
He then handed the plate and copper plate to Old Yun: "Have your uncle help me appraise these, or you can ask your Mr. Bai."
"Let's forget about my dad, he's not home right now. Let's talk to Mu Yin instead."
"Okay, let him see this wooden box too. Inside there's a pair of walnuts that's been played with for twenty years. They should be worth tens of thousands of yuan in the antique market. There's also some amber that I like, so I'll keep it for myself."
"OK."
Yun Shudai nodded and had already taken a picture of what He Wan had taken out and sent it to Bai Muyin: "By the way, I got you a carbide lamp from Song Yuanteng. That lamp doesn't need kerosene to light up, just like a light bulb. I'll have Tiantian go to her to get it tomorrow."
"OK."
While the two were chatting, Bai Muyin sent her a message: "[He Wan found these? Good taste. One is an enamel plate, and the other is a bronze token, probably from a very early dynasty; I can't give an exact price. The box isn't valuable, but those walnuts are probably lion's head walnuts; they're a very nice match and should be worth several hundred thousand. We'll need an expert to assess them.]"
When He Wan leaned closer and saw Bai Muyin say that a pair of walnuts was worth hundreds of thousands, she almost spat out her saliva: "Wow, really? Hundreds of thousands for a pair of walnuts?"
Yun Shudai didn't understand these things and couldn't explain them yet, so the two of them immediately picked up the walnuts and examined them.
I also searched online for information on varieties, pairings, patterns, coloring, and light sensitivity.
The two people compared them and found that the two walnuts were the same size, had very similar patterns, and were very translucent. They had been polished for twenty years and their surfaces were still very smooth.
"Old Yun, is playing with walnuts really that profitable? If so, I can do it too. There are several walnut trees on the hill behind us. I just looked them up online. The more unusual and uncommon they are, the better."
"I'll look for it in the fall. It's free, and I don't have much to do anyway. It's just something to hold and play with, I know how to do that."
"It's not that simple, some of them aren't even worth much."
"Give it a try, get a few more pairs. What if it works out? I'll start taking care of them now and keep doing it for decades. By then, I can leave them for my descendants. A good pair will be enough for them to buy a house."
"That's true."
"I quickly put it away. I've really learned a lot while collecting junk here. I've decided to study antique appraisal from now on."
Yun Shudai smiled and said, "I'll buy you a few books on treasure appraisal."
He Wan nodded. It was absolutely necessary.
She longs to go to the back hill and see the walnut tree.
Yun Shudai wasn't interested in any of that; she picked up her tablet and started drawing.
She hasn't uploaded any content for several months.
It was summer, and she planned to draw a fantasy story where her pet came to life and became a big rabbit like Totoro. They would then be on a city street at night, eating watermelon and watching the night view with a little girl.
...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. When Lao He set off for the city, Yun Shudai also had her day with the most scenes.
Today we'll be filming from dawn till night, a total of twenty-five scenes.
By noon, she felt completely exhausted and complained to An'an, "I feel like I need a snack in the afternoon. The workload is too heavy, and I can't hold on until noon."
An'an has been by my side all morning, so she naturally saw it and is now debating whether or not to give Sister Shushu an extra meal.
Then they heard Yun Shudai scream, which startled her and Tian Tian.
