22. Chapter 22

The River Bird and Flower Market is located just next street to the antique market.

After getting off the bus, compared with the bustle of the antique street, the flower and bird market is much colder, and there are fewer people walking on the street, which makes the flower and bird market quiet. Except for the occasional sound of bargaining, there is only the occasional chirping of birds.

"Uncle Shi hasn't been here before?" Wang Chuan asked.

"Well, I haven't been here." Dodge sideways a tricycle full of potted plants. Yan Zhao replied.

"What does Uncle Shi want to buy?"

"Well, I'm thinking of buying some fruit seedlings and pets." Yan Zhao looked at the shops around him and replied nonchalantly.

"In that case, I'll recommend a shop to Uncle Shi! Everything there is good stuff. ”

"That's fine." It's better to have a direct destination than to swing around now.

"Here we are." As he spoke, he pointed to a big shop in front of him.

The entrance is a three-story store.

"Although their family is not the largest in the entire flower and bird market, they have the loudest reputation." Wang Chuan said.

"Then thank you Young Master Wang for your kind words." Saying this, a middle-aged man came out of the store. He said to Wang Chuan. "Young Master Wang, why do you have time to come to the shop today!"

"What, Boss Liu! Not welcome? Wang Chuan said casually, it seems that he is also an old acquaintance.

"Where, the arrival of Young Master Wang simply makes the small shop shine!" This Boss Liu said with a smile. Suddenly, he looked at Yan Zhao next to him and said, "I don't know if this isβ€”"

"This is my uncle, Yan Zhao, Master Yan." Wang Chuan immediately introduced to Boss Liu.

"It turned out to be a banquet master, no wonder I want Wang Shao to accompany him, and I have admired him for a long time." Boss Liu squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking up for a long time or something, it was really a business. The chatterbox is powerful. The face is not red and the heart is not beating.

"There, there. It is not as rich as Boss Liu's wealth. Yan Zhao said casually.

"Alas, Boss Liu has recently gotten something good, take it out and let us open our eyes."

"Recently, I really got a good thing, just so that Wang Shao looked at it, please." As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite in.

From the outside, I didn't realize it, but when I entered the inside, I realized that there was really something else inside. The first floor is full of colorful potted plants, and the second floor is filled with ornamental fish and various animals. Yan Zhao even saw a shark and a python in the corner.

The third floor is the essence of this store. The two followed Boss Liu to the third floor, several people stayed in a pool, Boss Wang pointed to the two turtles in the water tank and said: "This is a pair of money turtles I received from others a few days ago, one male and one female, two together weigh six pounds and two taels, although I can't know the detailed age, but it is still the best." Boss Liu said proudly.

Turtles, like dragons, are one of the auspicious "Four Sages" and a symbol of longevity. The "Book of Rites" refers to the turtle, dragon, phoenix, and scales as the "four dragons" sacred objects, which are the treasures of avoiding evil spirits, eliminating disasters and avoiding disasters, and collecting wealth in the town. Tortoise shells were used as currency in ancient times. The money turtle is similar to a copper coin because of the pattern on its back, and the meat of the money turtle has the function of treating a variety of tuberculosis. In recent years, it has been quite sought after by people, and there is a tendency to send the golden turtle to a sky-high price. Generally speaking, the price of a golden turtle within a pound is about 80,000 yuan, and with the increase in weight, the price also rises in a straight line.

Yan Zhao leaned down and looked at the so-called best carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became. The two turtles are about the size of two palms, with an olive-green head, a solitary golden yellow along the side of the head, the ventral carapace is connected by ligaments anteriorly and anteriorly, the outer edge of the shield is ventral and the dorsal carapace is outside, and the lateral margin and skin are beige. The back of the limbs is brownish-black, and there is a yellow longitudinal stripe on the back of the tail.

The most important thing is that Boss Liu can't judge the true lifespan of these two money turtles, but Yan Zhao knows! As soon as the spiritual eye moved, there were three horizontal bars on the top of the back where the tortoise shell and the turtle meat were connected. A horizontal bar represents a hundred years, which means that the two golden turtles are at least three hundred years old.

As for the supposedly 184-year-old giant tortoise on St. Helena's island in the United Kingdom, I am afraid that I will have to call my great-grandfather when I see these two. Thinking like this, Yan Zhao couldn't help but reach out and touch the shell of one of the money turtles.

Seeing Yan Zhao stretching out his hand, Boss Liu subconsciously wanted to stop it, knowing that he treated these two like his ancestors, and served them a lot on weekdays, but as long as he wanted to touch them, the one next to him would have to give him a bite. The wound on the back of his hand is still aching.

Who knew that the next scene simply made Boss Liu exclaim. I only saw Yan Zhao stretching out his hand and slowly stroking the tortoise shell of the money turtle on the left, the money turtle slowly stretched out, turned his head to look at Yan Zhao and slowly retracted it. The one next to him not only didn't move, but stretched his neck, crawled under Yan Zhao's hand slowly, and slowly rubbed Yan Zhao's fingers with his small head, while Yan Zhao smiled helplessly, stretched out his index finger and slowly rubbed the chin of the money turtle.

Boss Liu's face couldn't help but darken, and he said that he was a good tsundere! Is it good for the parents to be here, and the first time they meet, they will stick it shamelessly, what about the festival? You're not a dog, just rubbing your chin, is it necessary to enjoy it?

As if knowing Boss Liu's heart, the money turtle turned his head, glanced at him, and continued to raise his head, enjoying Yan Zhao's touch.

Originally, seeing such a long-lived turtle, Yan Zhao subconsciously gathered the aura at his fingertips, and sure enough, the two turtles immediately felt the aura of Yan Zhao's fingertips and came up by themselves. Sure enough, after living for so long, I already have spirituality.

Yan Zhao withdrew his fingers, and the money turtle felt the comfortable aura leave, and suddenly turned his head and "hummed".

"I don't know, what price Boss Liu plans to sell these two money turtles." Yan Zhao asked.

"One million, no two prices." Boss Liu then "snorted". These two little ones have no conscience. It's a shame that I'm willing to find a good master for them.

"Okay, I'll have these two." Yan Zhao said happily. "By the way, I don't know if Boss Liu has any relatively large dogs here, recommend one to me."

Seeing that this business was completed, Boss Liu suddenly didn't have the previous sense of congestion, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I got a few purebred Tibetan mastiffs in this store not long ago." I don't know if Mr. Yan is interested. ”

"Take me to see it."

Seeing a few Tibetan mastiffs grinning in the metal cage, Yan Zhao couldn't help frowning.

Wang Chuan, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help asking, "Why, Uncle Shi can't look down on it?" These Tibetan mastiffs look good, and they know how to show off their power at such a young age. Hehe, the Tibetan mastiff only recognizes one owner in his life. Wait until it is familiar with you for a while, whether it is a nursery, or a hunt, it is a very loyal partner. ”

"It's too ugly to fit my senses." Yan Zhao said helplessly.

"Well, it's a little ugly." Wang Chuan looked at a few in the cage and said seriously.

Boss Liu next to him couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the conversation between the two. Tibetan mastiffs all look like this, it has the loyalty of a dog, the appearance of a lion, and the majesty of a tiger. People like to see the Tibetan mastiff not because of its face, but because of its courage and ferocity.

"I don't know what kind of senses Mr. Yan likes." Boss Liu asked.

"Well, the kind that grows as high as my waist."

The Tibetan mastiff can grow to the height of your neck, and Boss Liu's face does not change.

"Covered in hair."

The Tibetan mastiff is covered in long hair.

"Loved interacting with the hosts.

Tibetan mastiffs like to be close to their owners the most.

"Be good-looking."

Why don't you ignore this one.

"You can sell cute."

Tibetan mastiff, well! Tibetan mastiffs don't sell cuteness. You're a big man, you actually like soft cuteness! What about manhood! Boss Liu still doesn't squint, and his face doesn't change.
