First, let's first understand what is a good wenwan walnut:

1, cortex: Walnuts with good cortex should sound crisp when playing, and the new walnut cortex should be hard and not rough. Old walnuts should be red and transparent, like red resin, which looks fake; Old walnuts feel smooth when coiled, and sound like stones or metal when colliding.

2, grain: the grain is deep and changeable, the distribution should be uniform, it looks comfortable, the edges should be generous, and there are many kinds of grains, which can be roughly divided into: dense grain and wide grain.

3, skin color: walnuts have different colors, old walnuts are dark in color and the skin is semi-transparent. The color of walnut skin soaked with chemicals is unnatural and difficult to knead. Some wild new walnuts are very dark in color (natural red skin).

4. Head: A lion's head over 40 is considered big. Generally, grafted walnuts are bigger than wild ones. Although the size of the chicken heart is large, it is all grafted, and it can't be compared with the wild lion head in terms of appreciation, collection and price.

5. Shape: Generally speaking. The price of high pile is lower than that of short pile, and the price of sharp pile is lower than that of round pile. The wide side is more beautiful than the narrow side. The concave bottom and the flat bottom are better than the convex bottom.

Second, how to choose walnuts:

1, walnuts should be cooked: Generally, walnuts are planted in September. Walnuts feel a certain weight in your hand. Lightness is generally not ripe. Ripe walnuts are rubbed in your hand, which is the sound of stone and crisp, indicating that they are mature wild walnuts.

2. Is there a crack: Cracking is a serious injury to walnuts. You usually have to give up.

3, about the pubic skin: it can be pulled out slightly, and it is difficult to be serious. But if the variety is good and the buyer likes it, then talk about it separately.

4. Walnuts with bug eyes: Don't choose. If you come to practice your hands, you can choose a cheap plan.

5. Good matching: the varieties, sizes, shapes, lines and colors of the two walnuts should be consistent.

6. Variety selection: There are many varieties of walnuts now. Decide what you want to buy according to your own preferences, recognize the varieties, and don't treat Qiu Zi as a lion's head. It is best to choose natural wild varieties that are not artificially fertilized and grafted.

7. Size and shape: The specifications and sizes of walnuts are quite different, and the prices are also quite different. The shape is still short, round, or irregular, and the price is high! ! Even if the difference between two pairs of walnuts is one millimeter, the price will be much worse.

Third, the maintenance method:

1, cleaning: the method is to soak walnuts in clean water for half an hour. Then use a needle to pick out the dirty things inside. Because the dirty things in the walnut grain have become soft at this time, it is easy to remove. Then brush it clean with a toothbrush. Finally, dry the water on the walnuts in time, and then play after the walnuts are completely dried in the shade. Never catch the wind or dry it. Usually, according to the sanitary condition of walnuts, it is cleaned once a week or so, so it is not necessary to soak in water every time. Do not use detergent, because of its strong permeability, walnuts are easy to crack!

2. Umbilical sealing: The umbilical cord of some walnuts has fallen off, which actually has no effect on the life of walnuts, unlike the description in some books-"life is not long". Whether to seal or not depends entirely on personal preference. If sealed, you can use candle oil to seal the umbilical cord, or make your own umbilical cord and seal it with some glue.

3. Oiling: At present, there are different opinions on oiling. Walnuts should be oiled less. If there is more oil, the color of walnuts will be black and not red! Form an oily shade, and the more you rub it, the darker it becomes! The simplest and most natural method is: directly break the kind of walnut you eat, take out the walnut kernel, crush it in your hand and wipe your own walnut, and then brush it evenly with a brush. But remember not to oil too often! 9C,V 4Z V)c7w ~.H

4. Preservation: if you don't play for a long time, just put it in a sealed bag. This kind of bag is very easy to buy. Don't put it in high temperature, humidity, extrusion, pollution, insect pests and direct sunlight. Also: Don't put it where children can reach (especially good walnuts). 6V9^(d I Y

Tip: Walnut was injured when it was coming down from the tree, or fell when it was playing in a dish. If it is very small or slight, it can be made up in a short time by kneading and playing in a dish, and the color can be kneaded to a consistent level, even to the point where it is not visible at all. Keeping nature is the best way to deal with it, and there is no need to repair it. Therefore, for this, players don't have to panic when they encounter such situations.

Friendly reminder: the price cannot be generalized. There is no need to compare with each other. What you like is the key!

Special reminder: to buy walnuts, buy ripe and dried walnuts. If a pair of freshly peeled walnuts is 4 1, then when it is dry, it will be about 39.
