Chapter 30: The Strange Parrot

There is also a pet market in this crowded place.

In fact, the pet market here is more like a rural market, with noisy people and strange calls of various animals. There are special pet shops, and there are also vendors who bring pets to sell temporarily, in short, this small area is stuffed to the brim, and there is no free place.

Zhang Taiping walked in with the flow of people, and he really had a lot of knowledge. I fully understand the meaning of the phrase 'there is nothing you can think of and nothing that cannot be done'.

The most common cats and dogs are here, the rare pet pig pet guinea pig is here, the rare parrot starlings are also here, and even the snake that is rarely used as a pet is also sold. What made Zhang Taiping even more unexpected was that all kinds of colorful insects, spiders, and scorpions were also pets.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and there must be someone who wants it, and only then does someone sell it. I can only sigh that modern people's hobbies are really strange and powerful. Powerful to the point of being breathtaking.

Zhang Taiping walked into a pet store, and before the boss could say hello, the parrot hanging at the door began to shout loudly.

"Good guys, good guys are coming"

Shouting, flapping his wings and flying down from the pole above the door, he landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, and gently touched Zhang Taiping's hair with his sharp beak, showing affection.

Zhang Taiping was surprised for a while, he was inexplicably attracted to animals because of space, but it didn't come to this point?

In fact, the boss is even more than Zhang Taiping. This parrot flew by itself, just came in, smart is smart, but is a bit of a big name, always ignores people, and at most sees people is weak to say "welcome", and has never been so close to that person as today.

If it weren't for Zhang Taiping's lack of special reaction, the boss would really think that the owner had found the store.

Zhang Taiping tentatively approached other pets in the cage, but fortunately there was no other overreaction, it can only be said that this parrot is extraordinary, and it is much more spiritual than other pets.

When in the mountains, the small animals in the mountains still have a certain sense of the space in Zhang Taiping's body, there is an inexplicable attraction but a natural alertness, just watching from a distance but not approaching, as long as there is a little movement, they will leave quickly.

And these pets in cages have lost their heavenly surnames and spiritual surnames because they have been in the city for a long time. Just like humans living in comfort, they have degraded many sensitive senses, and they do not have the sensitive sense of crisis and the surrounding environment like wild animals that grow naturally in the mountains and forests, and it is natural to not feel the breath on Zhang Taiping's body.

Seeing that it was this reaction, Zhang Taiping breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not dare to visit this pet market. If all the animals are as sensitive as this parrot, they will pounce on themselves when they see them. I can't imagine what kind of scene a group of animals are like on their bodies, and how people see themselves.

Fortunately, it is not beyond the scope of people's cognition, and I can only sigh at the spirit surname of this parrot.

After thinking about it, Zhang Taiping became happy again, as long as it is an animal with a spirit surname, it will be aware of the breath on its body, and the more sensitive the animal with a spirit surname, the more intense the reaction to the breath on its body. Isn't it just that you can judge whether the animal has a spirit surname by standing next to the animal?

This may seem like an insignificant feature, but it is not.

People who often have dogs know that the quality of a dog depends on the origin, that is, the breed. The other is to see if the dog has a spiritual surname. The purer the breed, the more excellent genes it inherits from its parents. And the more spiritual a dog is, the greater the potential for subsequent development.

The quality of the breed can be seen directly from the appearance, but the presence or absence of the spirit surname cannot be seen with the eyes. If a dog wants to be trained to be a good dog, it must have a more or less spiritual surname, so that it can better communicate with humans and understand human intentions, so as to carry out orders well.

The spirit surname often begins to dissipate when the dog is two or three months old, and if it can't be picked out, it is possible to bury the good dog. And the selected puppies without a spiritual surname spend a lot of effort to cultivate but are useless waste dogs, what is the use of being free?

So this function is still useful, especially for a dog lover is a treasure, you can choose more good dogs, and you can sell them for a good price if they are cultivated.

After figuring out the reason and the function of the space, Zhang Taiping had no interest in staying in the pet store anymore, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the store.

When the parrot saw Zhang Taiping leaving, he also wanted to leave, but the rope tied to the hanging pole restricted its freedom. When he flew to the door, he was pulled by a rope, and he was so anxious that he shouted "help, help"

Zhang Taiping turned his head and looked helplessly at the parrot that was still fluttering in the air, but he didn't expect to be entangled by a parrot one day and shout for help, as if something had happened to it.

The shopkeeper also came out, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this scene. This parrot flew here not long ago, and it has always been a big name to be lazy and lazy, and it is completely regarded as a free canteen, and it has never deliberately sold a mouth or anything, but I didn't expect to have such a scoundrel side today.

"I wonder if this gentleman is interested in this parrot?"

Before Zhang Taiping could answer, the parrot hurriedly replied, "Interested, interested."

Zhang Taiping wanted to refuse the boss, but after thinking about it, other pets have long been in the city and have lost their spirit surname, and although it is in the city, it can still maintain such a high spirit surname, sensitive to the space and breath on its body, and it is also so smart. Compared with the natural creatures that grow in nature in the mountains, the surname of Turin has its own merits, after all, there are some talents.

So I changed my mind, and it was a pity that such a thing with the spirit surname stayed in the city and gradually wore away the spirit surname, and finally became the same situation as other pets.

"How much?" Zhang Taiping asked casually.

Don't look at it as a simple sentence, no matter how shrewd people are, they are knowledgeable in their eyes. It was clear that the owner was happy to sell the parrot, even a little eager. If this boss is a shrewd person, he will get a signal from these three words - this one doesn't care much about the quality of the parrot itself, only about the price. In this way, when the boss quotes money, he will consider the appropriateness of the price, and consider whether the price will be too high to scare people away, so the price will not be out of reality and too high.

"Well, two thousand five"

Although the price is a little higher, it is not out of the actual category, and there is still room for negotiation.

Zhang Taiping wants this effect, and in one sentence, he gives the boss an image of slapping his ass and leaving without saying a word, so that the initial price can be set more reasonable, and then the bargaining can be carried out.

Of course, such a simple three words also have to be divided into people, only for the shrewd boss who can observe words and feelings. If you meet a boss who is pure in slaughtering people, you will understand these three words as "I am a fat sheep".

It is clear that this boss is the former.

"That's a lot." Zhang Taiping turned around and wanted to leave after a simple two words.

The boss hurriedly said, "It's good to discuss, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”

In fact, such a smart and clever parrot is far more than that. But when other customers came, they had never seen this parrot so enthusiastic as it is today, but they spoke ill of each other. Naturally, no one likes it, and the general guests don't even ask, so they can't talk about the price.

Besides, this parrot flew by itself, there is no cost, and no matter how much it is sold, it will make a profit.

"How much do you want to pay, sir?" The boss stopped Zhang Taiping's figure and said.

"Your parrot is also a freak and a strange thing, and I guess no one wants it. The boss will give a sincere price! Zhang Taiping did not answer directly, but kicked the ball to the pet shop owner again.

At this time, whoever pours out the low price first is actually at a loss, because this gives the other party a chance to lower the price again. Of course, the boss understands this, but he can't care about it anymore, and he really wants to sell the "wonderful treasure" in this parrot.

"Two thousand, that's the lowest price," the boss said in embarrassment.

"The boss is still not sincere." Zhang Taiping said.

The owner of the pet shop looked at the parrot that quieted down as if he knew that this was the fateful moment, and he couldn't sell it, he couldn't kill it, and he wasted food when he put it in the store. Said helplessly.

"Then the gentleman will make a sincere price."

"Eight hundred." Zhang Taiping still cherishes words like gold.

"It's too little, not enough to buy the principal, add more."

As soon as the owner of the pet shop stopped talking, the parrot couldn't wait to jump out and expose it.

"Hehe," Zhang Taiping chuckled, "This parrot is very smart." ”

The boss also echoed and laughed dryly, his face slightly embarrassed.

"In this case, I will add another two hundred to make a thousand, if the boss still feels that he is at a loss, then I will turn around and leave, and never disturb the boss again." Zhang Taiping clapped his hands and said.

The pet shop owner hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the parrot that was still noisy on the boom, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay, a thousand is a thousand, and today I should lose money and make a friend of Mr."

After paying, the boss untied the rope from the boom and handed it to Zhang Taiping. Zhang Taiping immediately untied the rope tied to the parrot's leg in the puzzled eyes of the pet shop owner and completely released it to freedom.

Zhang Taiping still has this confidence, this parrot will not run away, or it will not be able to drive away. If you would leave it easily now, it wouldn't be worth spending so much money on it.

Out of the pet store, the parrot really didn't fly away, but just turned around in the air and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, gently combing its feathers. Seeing that the owner of the pet store was amazed again, he could only sigh that there are no wonders in the world.
