[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Ye Qing once heard Qian Junbao say that there is an animal market in Chong'an, called "Hundred Animal Garden".
There are a lot of rare animals in it, and the practice of buying tickets to visit is actually adopted.
For ten cents, you can go in and see it for half a day, which is similar to the zoo of later generations, and of course you can also buy and sell some rare animals.
However, Ye Qing planned to go there to see if he could pick up the leaks.
Yes, it is a leak, some animals may not be liked by the ancients, and the value is not high, but they can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins in the space store.
Of course, the world's most famous "zoo" masterpiece is the Royal Upper Forest Garden.
After that, there was the West Garden, the Forbidden Garden, and now there is Banzai Mountain.
Among the various rare beasts, the most mysterious is the "unicorn".
There are unicorns in this world, but they are raised in the royal Banzai Mountain.
Ye Qing felt that there was a chance, and she wanted to go and see it.
Because in her original world, she had never seen this kind of West.
When they arrived at the "Hundred Animal Garden", the old man guarding the door saw Ye Qing getting off the carriage, waved his hand at her and shouted, "Come back tomorrow, the door will be closed soon." โ
Ye Qing walked over, and Lan'er followed.
"Wait outside here." After Ye Qing finished speaking, he said to the old man guarding the door: "I'm here to buy things, not to see livestock." โ
"Then I'll come tomorrow." The old man glanced at Ye Qing and said indifferently.
"Can you be accommodating and ask your manager." Ye Qing took out a silver bun from his sleeve and put it in front of the old man.
The old man guarding the door had his eyes lit up, and he quickly put the silver into his sleeve with Ye Qingdu's surprised hand.
smiled at an old face full of wrinkles and said, "Then you wait a while, it just so happens that our steward hasn't left yet." โ
Ye Qing bowed his head, and after a while, a middle-aged man wearing brown flower coarse silk walked out.
As soon as he came, he looked at Ye Qing and asked straight to the point: "It's that you want to find me, my person Zhuang Dasheng, I don't know what kind of livestock this girl wants to buy?" โ
"Hello Steward Zhuang, can I take a look at what's in it first?" Ye Qing smiled lightly.
"Well, then you come in." Zhuang Dasheng glanced at Ye Qing's dress and the carriage, and took the lead with a large set of keys, and Ye Qing followed.
As soon as he entered, Ye Qingxian saw a group of naughty little monkeys, with yellow fur, looking a bit like macaques.
Some are climbing the railing, some are stretching, and one is supposed to be the leader peeling oranges to eat!
After walking a few steps, she saw a large black bear in a large cage made of thick wood, but it was clearly in a very bad mood at the moment.
Seeing Zhuang Dasheng, he was actually grinning.
Then Ye Qing saw a very strong tiger, this tiger was very well raised, the fur was oily and slippery, and the word king on his head was also obvious, it seemed that he usually had good food.
There was also a python thicker than a thigh and a turtle the size of a table, and I saw a docile sika deer and a dozen brocade pheasants.
In the past, there were two elephants, and the ancients still liked elephants very much, but this thing was not raised by ordinary people.
What caught her eye the most was that there was a peacock here, a relatively rare white peacock, standing on a branch with its white feathers hanging down, which was very beautiful.
Zhuang Dasheng, who was walking in front, actually didn't leave Ye Qing much in the corner of his eye, and after seeing her come in, there was no surprise or fear in his eyes.
It was a bit of a surprise to him.
In fact, Ye Qing was not surprised or afraid, naturally the animals in this world were no different from the animals on the blue star she saw.
She had seen a lot of stranger animals on other planets, how could these pediatrics surprise her.
"Girl, are you watching? What are you going to buy? Zhuang Dasheng walked to the edge of the mandarin duck pond and asked.
"How much does a tiger cost?" Ye Qing didn't plan to buy a tiger, she was just curious.
"You want a tiger? That's precious, and it's not for sale. Zhuang Dasheng's eyes enlarged slightly.
"No, I'm just asking about the price of the tiger."
"To tell you the truth, this tiger was originally an injured cub who was sent here to raise it since he was a child.
As for the price...... I heard that there used to be a wealthy merchant in the capital who raised a head for 6,000 taels and bought it, but then it was asked to leave by the people in the palace. It is very difficult for us people to raise tigers. โ
"That's right." Six thousand taels is also fine, because an adult tiger can be exchanged for 9,000 gold coins if sold to the space store.
However, tigers are all valuable animals, and I am afraid that there are not many live breeding tigers in the whole Daewoo.
Zhuang Dasheng looked at her and said, "If the girl wants to raise it in the house, she can raise a little fox or a white crane."
You can also raise two mandarin ducks or swans, which we have here, and the price is not expensive, just a hundred taels of silver. โ
Ye Qing nodded, but he didn't say anything to buy, these things were not worth much in the space store.
The white crane is just an ordinary crane, not a fairy crane or a red-crowned crane, even if you buy one for a hundred taels of silver, it is useless.
Although a hundred gold coins were worth a good amount, even if she bought all the white cranes here, it would be impossible for her to have a hundred.
At this moment, several black and white figures attracted Ye Qing's attention.
One, two, three, four, four round little guys were tied to a wooden cage and were moving.
Each one looked not much bigger than a piglet, moving slowly, with two dark circles hanging on their faces.
Isn't this a panda, just locked up here?
It doesn't matter if there is no wide place for them to stay, and there is not even water in the cage in the hot weather.
There were just some untouched bamboos there, and the pandas hadn't eaten a bite.
Seeing Ye Qing's eyes staring at the wooden cage, Zhuang Dasheng pursed his lips and said, "That's the silver dog." โ
"Silver Dog?" Ye Qing's eyes widened in surprise, is that what people here call pandas?
"Well, it was sent by a Sichuan man this morning.
Mother Xipi, I was angry when I said it, and when I sent it, I was given a basket of bamboo, saying that this thing only needs to eat this.
It's easy to raise, and the old man saw that this thing looked like a flower bear, and he bought it as interesting.
Unexpectedly, after this thing ate the basket of bamboo, the old man fed them with our local bamboo, but they didn't eat a bite.
Asked someone to find the man, the Sichuan goods who killed a thousand knives, actually ran away.
This thing was killed and sold as meat, and the old man heard that the meat of this animal was very unpalatable. โ
Ye Qing's eyes moved, nodded and said: "When you say this, I think of it, I heard that this kind of animal only eats one kind of bamboo and bamboo shoots from Sichuanzhou, and other bamboos are not eaten." โ
"Oh, so you've heard of this thing, it seems that the old man has deceived someone."
