Chapter 8: Sky-high crickets
The next morning, Xiao Wen went grocery shopping as usual.
As soon as I passed by the park, I was pulled by someone, and I turned my head to see that it was Old Man Tang.
I saw him ask anxiously, "I said, young man, how is my fire general?"
"Uncle, you're too anxious, wait until I'm done buying vegetables!"
Xiao Wen was actually quite anxious, but he didn't show it.
"Grocery shopping?"
"I said you big man, what kind of food do you buy early in the morning!"
Old Donald was stunned.
"My wife loves to eat my cooking!"
Xiao Wen smiled indifferently.
"You can buy the vegetables later, my fire general, you won't be killed by your kid!"
Old man Don was impatient.
"Look at what you said, isn't this still here?"
Xiao Wen took out a cyan jade jar, which was the one that Old Man Tang handed him yesterday.
"Come on, come on, sit down!"
Old man Tang looked like he was playing, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Wen to sit down at the stone table in the park.
"Young man, did you really cure my Fire General?"
Old Man Tang really wanted to see how the Fire General in the jar was, but Xiao Wen hadn't handed it to him yet, and he was embarrassed to grab it directly.
"It's like a fake!"
Xiao Wen smiled and handed over the jade jar.
Old man Tang hurriedly stretched out his two hands to take the jade jar, as if he was his own son, and carefully placed the jade jar on the stone table.
Immediately after, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and opened the lid of the jade jar.
Immediately afterwards, the two somewhat cloudy old eyes opened, as if they had seen some rare beauty.
Of course, at his age, he may not be very interested in beautiful women.
It was as if he had found some rare treasure, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The Fire General, who was still dying yesterday, will crawl around in the jar that is already alive.
Even looking at the situation, it seems to be more energetic than before, and it is completely impossible to see that yesterday was injured.
Old Man Tang was shocked, there is such a magical technology in this world, it is really unheard of and unseen.
"Young man, you..."
Old Man Tang raised his puzzled face, looked at Xiao and asked, "How did you cure my Fire General?"
"This is a craft handed down from our ancestors, and it cannot be said. ”
Xiao Wen smiled faintly.
"Oh, I see!"
Old man Tang had a look of understanding.
It's no wonder that if it weren't for the inheritance of his ancestors, he didn't think that a young man like Xiao Wen could have such ability.
At this time, he saw Xiao Wen take out a bamboo tube and put it on the table, and said to Old Man Tang: "Uncle Tang, you can help me take a look, how is my stunned young man?"
Stunned Qing is the name that Xiao Wen gave to this first-order cricket king.
"Oh, my old man, look!"
Old man Tang is also a big fan of this.
When he heard Xiao ask this kind of insect control master to open his eyes, he was also quite curious, wanting to see what kind of crickets it could bring.
As the lid of the bamboo tube was opened, a big blue-headed cricket inside suddenly revealed its true face.
The moment he saw this cricket, Old Man Tang's eyes opened in vain, because Xiao Wen did shock him a lot today.
This green-headed cricket is quietly dormant in the bamboo tube, but it gives people a feeling of immobility like a mountain, as if it is like a perfect work of art, strong, fierce and full of beauty.
"You..."
Old man Tang swallowed violently, his eyes a little straight.
He has been playing with crickets for some years, and he still has some eyesight, unlike the cricket Li who relied on a cricket he bought at a high price to show off his power there, but in fact he didn't understand anything.
Generally, to distinguish whether it is a fighting cricket, it mainly depends on its head, head color, fighting silk, eyes, face, teeth, thighs, and tentacles.
And this cricket he looks left and right, no matter which aspect he can distinguish, it is the best among crickets.
He even dared to conclude that this cricket was definitely the legendary cricket king, and even if it wasn't, it would not be far from ten.
"You raised this?"
Old Man Tang asked in a daze.
"That is, the insect breeding technology handed down by the ancestors, which cannot be elegant. ”
Xiao asked indifferently.
"Uncle Tang, that's the case, I've been a little short of money lately, so I want you to help me find a way to sell this stunned young man. ”
Xiao Wen went straight to the point and didn't go around in circles.
He has already cured the fire general, and I believe that this old man will still help with this little favor.
"You're going to sell it?"
Old Donald's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
Such a cricket king who is one in a million, this kid is going to sell it, and for a while, Old Man Tang felt a little worthless for this cricket.
"Yes!"
Xiao Wen nodded, joking, this thing can be mass-produced, and it is also to treat his mother's illness, no matter how much he wants, he will not hesitate.
"It's really a pity that this kind of top-quality cricket king is sold, but since you open your mouth, little brother, the old man will give you an estimate!"
Old Man Tang said modestly, then changed his words and said to Xiao Wen.
In fact, after seeing Xiao Wen take out this stunned blue, he was already itching.
It's just that a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, and he can't say it clearly, but if this kid insists on selling, then it's not planting his arms.
Old Man Tang stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Xiao Wen's eyes.
"Two thousand?"
Xiao Wen was a little disappointed, it seems that the road of selling crickets will not work.
But he also knew that this was just a bug, and it only cost 50 yuan to buy it, no matter how powerful it was, it was already a sky-high price to sell for 2,000.
"What do you think?"
Old Donald pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
Xiao Wen sighed in his heart, it won't be that he can't even sell it for two thousand, this is too...
Just when he was disappointed, he saw Old Man Tang speak quietly, "I mean 200,000!"
"Two hundred thousand?"
Xiao Wen's eyes widened, can such a bug be sold for 200,000?
This is something he never expected, knowing that the life cycle of an ordinary cricket is only 100 days, it is not surprising that it is a consumable.
"Are you sure?"
Old man Tang nodded, and said with a determined face: "It's a little expensive, but it's worth the price!"
As he spoke, he stared at the stunned green in the bamboo tube with burning eyes, and added at the end, "You can sell it to me directly, cash or credit card?"
The tone was eager, as if he was afraid that Xiao Wen would regret not selling it to him all of a sudden.
Xiao Wen quickly calculated in his heart, although he was still half of his mother's surgery fee, he had finally raised 200,000 yuan, and the remaining 200,000 yuan could only be found in another way.
At that moment, he was ready to agree.
It's just that just as he was about to speak, at this time, an old voice also sounded from behind the two of them.
"I said, Old Man Tang, what are you two muttering here?"
Xiao Wen turned around and saw that it was the black-faced old man Li Cripple from yesterday.
"Nothing!"
Old man Tang hurriedly blocked the stunned green in the bamboo tube with his hand.
"I've seen it all, isn't it just a cricket? there's something to hide, it's far from my black overlord!"
Old man Li was on a cane and snorted coldly there.
"Hehe, although your black overlord is really good, it's still far from this stunned green!"
Old Man Tang was not happy when he heard that Old Man Li was about to brag again.
"What, just this miscellaneous cricket, can you still be stronger than my black overlord?"
Old man Li sneered and let out a sneer.
"Your Black Overlord is also stronger than my Fire General, compared to this one, there is no comparison at all!"
Old man Donald spoke.
"What, you want to practice?"
Old man Li was disdainful.
"Practice practice, practice, who is afraid of whom?"
Old man Tang wanted to try this stunned green man, but he was also afraid that he would look away, in case it was an embroidered pillow, he would not be laughed to death.
"Little brother, the cricket is yours, if you are not afraid of his black overlord, practice with him, if there is anything, the old man will make the decision for you!"
Old man Tang looked at Xiao and asked.
"Yes!"
Xiao Wen nodded, but then said in a deep voice: "It's just a solo practice, it's too boring, if you can add some color, it would be better!"
"Boy, what do you want?"
As soon as Old Man Li heard this, he suddenly became energetic, and asked with a sneer on his face.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Xiao Wen looked at Old Man Li and spoke so faintly.
