Zou Yue'e and I walked into a more formal-looking shop.

Three or two young men were squatting in the corner of the wall, picking up a bunch of six-centimeter crickets in small porcelain bottles. Zou Yue'e placed the heavy orchid pot against the corner, and then looked up to play with a talking parrot in the bird cage. I walked to the front of the stage and put the cricket jar on the glass plate, "Boss, do you collect crickets here?" ”

The middle-aged boss was stunned, "...... Take a look first. He picked up a few second-hand housing stickers on the counter, took the jar steadily, lifted the lid and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "Hey, I haven't seen such a black seed for many years, it's beautiful." ”

"Don't worry, it's definitely a good bug." A few students from the side also gathered around.

The boss dialed it with a cricket spy, and his expression was very satisfied, "Have you weighed?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Let the black-headed cricket walk around with him, and the boss and several students looked surprised: "Eight percent four? It's big enough! ”

The boss froze, carefully observed the crickets again, and asked, "Such a big man, did he take it from Shandong?" ”

"No, Yan Jing caught it." I am a more honest man, and I tell the truth: "Just by the moat." ”

The boss sighed: "Yanjing's crickets are a few grades worse than Shandong, don't look big, but the surname is not good, young man, so let's do it, I will accept you for a thousand yuan." ”

You know, in the past, Yanjing could still find good crickets, like the eight places in Xishan, Yungang in the west of Yongding Hexi, and the Ming Tombs in Changping, but in recent years, the quality of Yanjing crickets has declined as a whole, and there are some scattered and scattered, but there are no good insects anymore, and most of the ones sold on the market are Shandong crickets, and the most famous ones are Sidian Town, Ningyang County, Tai'an City. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for him to say that Yanjing's cricket surname is poor.

I shook my head without thinking: "It's too cheap, why can you get five thousand?" ”

"Five thousand?" The boss smiled and pushed the cricket jar back: "Then you can take it, you can rest assured that there will be no one in the entire Guanyuan Bird Market who is willing to spend 5,000 yuan to collect it." ”

I withdrew the cricket jar and silently exited the store.

Perhaps in order to confirm his words, in the next hour, I asked inside and outside the market, giving 800 and 300, and even thinking that I did not know how to do it, I had to take out 50 yuan.

Thinking about it, people generally go to Shandong to buy baskets at low prices, and naturally they are not willing to spend thousands to buy a cricket.

Sighing, I miss the Guanyuan Bird Market in Xizhimen very much, at that time, many players caught a good bug, and set up stalls to sell them in the easternmost bungalow of the bird market, without paying booth fees, and there were no restrictions, and the degree of freedom was extremely high.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Just as Zou Yue'e and I were about to go outside to breathe, a kind shop owner selling fish next to us held the aquarium and told us a place and said that we might as well try our luck there.

"Thank you."

We went to a small garden near the Fuchengmen overpass, and according to the fish seller, many people who bought crickets from the Guanyuan Bird Market would communicate here, including many rich people. Unlike ordinary people who play cricket, many rich people rely on this to gamble, so if they get into their eyes, tens of thousands of dollars will be willing to pay.

At the end of the stone road, there are several white stone tables.

There are people who walk birds and talk about birds, and there are people who play chess and Go, so it's not lively.

"Xiaojing, let's change." Zou Yue'e gave me her flower pot and took the cricket jar: "I don't think you're very good at selling things." ”

I scratched my head embarrassedly: "That's bothering you." ”

After a cursory discussion for a while, Zou Yue'e walked over to a few young people who were fighting crickets, pushed the cricket jar to the stone table, sat firmly on the stone bench with Erlang's legs crossed, took out the small paper fan in the LV handbag, and fanned herself unhurriedly: "Is there any cricket, this is an authentic Shandong insect, with a black head and a black body, absolutely good quality, for sale." ”

Uh, it's obvious that I caught it with the moat, how did I become a Shandong cricket?

Her voice really shouted a lot of people to watch the excitement.

I'm not used to this kind of scene, and I always feel a little ashamed.

Zou Yue'e was calm and relaxed, and praised the crickets all the time, but she didn't lift the lid for them to see.

At this time, a boy who looked like a junior high school student at the same table pouted and said, "Sister, what you said is also evil, right?" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled and looked at him: "Don't believe it? Pinch a look? ”

"Pinch it!" He stabbed a classmate at his side: "Don't let your generalissimo try your hand?" ”

The man confidently put the jar in his arms on the table, lifted the lid, and used the grass on the side of the road to pluck the crickets, and after the quacking sound, the boy glanced at Zou Yue'e: "The generalissimo is a seven-centimeter-two worm, do you still pinch it?" ”

Where there is a bustle, there are Chinese.

There are more and more onlookers.

Zou Yue'e squinted at the cricket jar: "Little classmate, do you dare to be called a generalissimo at your little point?" I think it's almost the same as millet grains! "She's got a bad mouth.

The crowd laughed.

Several junior high school students were so angry that they clamored for Aunt Zou's crickets to appear.

However, when Zou Yue'e unveiled the cricket without hurrying, the generalissimo's master almost jumped up and shouted, "Ba Li!" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled and added, "It's eight percent six." ”

Well, it's eight percent four.

It was difficult for a few people to ride a tiger, so they could only face it head-on.

We don't need to lose money or lose land, and our gameplay doesn't need to be so formal, because my cricket jar is larger, it naturally serves as a arena. The game officially began, and the black pearl found its traces the moment the generalissimo entered the field, and pounced on it with his teeth and claws.

The collision of teeth against teeth is fleeting.

The black pearl suddenly tilted its head, put its big scissor-like teeth up, clicked, bit down on the opponent's head, twisted its body beautifully, and directly flipped the generalissimo to the ground, and then, he stood proudly and let out the cry of a victor. In the blink of an eye, the winner has been decided.

"Good! Wonderful! ”

"This blow is terrible!"

"Yes! ferocious! ”

Everyone applauded.

Zou Yue'e squinted and patted her palms with a fan: "Is there any challenge?" ”

"I'm coming!"

"I'll try!"

Two older young men sitting in the shade of a tree volunteered to stand up.

But before Aunt Zou could agree, a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly walked between the two of us, "Don't pinch it yet, you said this worm is going to be sold, what's the price?" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled: "I won't say anything superfluous, take 30,000 yuan." ”
