Chapter 084: Selling Tigers

When I got up in the morning, I heard that Mrs. Qin had gone out again.

I went to Hug Pu Taoist Temple to make incense and pray for my two sons to be able to go to high school.

The leave was saved, Qin Guan went out with Erbao, the time was still early, Qin Guan did not take the car, and walked leisurely on the streets of Hangzhou with Erbao.

The commerce of Dazhao is very developed, there are many shops and stalls on the street, selling calligraphy and paintings, selling silk flowers and selling snacks, selling rattles and turning tambourine dangling, selling maltose shouting loudly, and the mutton bone soup boiled in the big pot of the breakfast stall exudes this rich fragrance, and the atmosphere of this era is everywhere.

"Young master, there is a juggling of "teaching insects and ants" in front. Erbao said to Qin Guan with some excitement.

The two men stepped forward to squeeze a spot in the crowd, and the performer, an old man in his fifties, played a piccolo, and in front of him was a wooden box in which dozens of flies and tigers were rapidly spinning and dancing to the music.

As soon as the music changed, he saw that the dozens of flies and tigers suddenly turned into a string, constantly wandering in the box, Qin Guan felt interesting, a bit like a greedy snake.

After performing this paragraph, the old man said: "Trick of the end, the old man raised a few little guys and gave them a performance for the officials." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he took out a large wooden basin, lifted the lid on it, and everyone found that there was a basin of water inside, and there were more than a dozen goldfish swimming back and forth in the water.

The old man took out a small gong and said to the audience: "Let them say hello to the officials first, who will order you." ”

Everyone was stunned, can you still name names?

A man stood up and said, "Let this golden-headed and red-tailed one come out and I'll take a look." ”

The old man smiled, "Okay, be objective, let the golden head say hello to you." ”

The old man sang a ballad in his mouth, and the small gong in his hand kept ringing, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, the golden-headed red-tailed goldfish that was lit really floated to the surface, and his mouth was close to the surface of the water and he inhaled, and he couldn't help nodding.

Seeing this scene, everyone cheered.

The man just now took out a few pennies from his cuffs and threw them into the money box in front of the old man.

The old man nodded in thanks, took out a small red silk flag from behind him, and continued: "This is nothing, the old man asked them to put up a formation for the officials and old men to see, you see, this is the three-talent array." ”

As he spoke, the small flag in the old man's hand waved a few times, and he saw that the dozen or so goldfish, no longer swimming as scattered as just now, were divided into three groups in the water and began to swim in circles.

"Five-star array", the small flag in the old man's hand waved again, and the fish school became five groups. In the "chain array", the schools of fish are separated and regrouped, end to end, forming a circle in the basin, and constantly swimming in circles.

The old man took out a ring from the basket behind him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, give you the most difficult performance, the carp jumping over the dragon gate." As he spoke, he put the ring on the water, and beat the drum with one hand, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, the goldfish that had been turning in a circle jumped out of the water one after another, jumping out of the circle, so beautiful.

The audience couldn't help but applaud.

Even in modern times, Qin Guan has never seen such a magical performance, and he can train these goldfish so obediently.

What a feast for the eyes.

The reason why ancient folk street artists were able to break through the rivers and lakes was that they relied on their unique skills to "make a fresh move", eat all over the streets and alleys, and go to the ends of the earth in China.

But in the long river of history, how many skills have been annihilated.

After the old man's performance, everyone took out copper coins and threw them into the money box, Qin Guan said: "Two treasures are rewarded." ”

"Young master, how much is the reward."

"Let's take two."

If it was before, Erbao would definitely be reluctant, and at that time, Qin Guan's monthly pocket money was only 10 yuan. But now Erbao has also seen a lot of money, and the young master has an order, so he took out two consistent money bills from his arms and handed them to the juggler.

When the old man saw that it was money, he quickly stood up, took it with both hands and thanked Qin Guan again and again.

Qin Guan waved his hand and left with the two treasures.

In ancient times, it was not as feudal as people imagined, women did not leave the house, and many young women could be seen on the street, a girl wearing a pothos skirt in front of her, with a maid by her side, she looked very beautiful.

Qin looked over, and the girl also happened to sneak a glance at Qin Guan, and the two looked at each other, and the girl's pretty face immediately turned red, and she took the maid and walked away quickly.

Hahahaha.

As long as you find out with your heart.

There is a great view everywhere.

Actually, this ancient life is quite interesting.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me, and someone exclaimed: "Oh, what a big tiger!" ”

"Yes, this big insect is estimated to weigh four or five hundred catties."

"Look at the tiger's blood is still dripping, I think I just died."

"What a big man, I think he hit this big worm."

There was a lot of noise in front, and Qin Guan and Erbao were also curious to lean over to see what the situation was, and they saw a big man walking not far away, carrying a tiger full of stripes on his shoulder, the tiger's flesh and blood were blurred, and blood was still dripping down.

Look at the strong man again, he is eight feet tall, his muscles are strong, and there are several blood marks on his body, which are obviously injured during the fight with the tiger. The big man's face was full of determination, and his footsteps stepped on the ground, as if they could hear the sound of the roar of stepping on the ground, and the others saw it and retreated.

Good guy, that tiger has three or four hundred catties to say the least, and he can carry it alone.

Carrying the tiger to the door of the "Yonghetang" pharmacy, the big man threw the tiger on the ground, half of his body was stained with tiger blood, which looked a little terrifying, and the others only dared to look around from afar. The big man shouted inside: "Your pharmacy doesn't accept tigers." ”

A middle-aged shopkeeper came out, and several young men also poked their heads out to look, and the shopkeeper circled around the tiger, and after looking at it again, he reported a number: "Thirty runs".

Dahan frowned, "It's too little, a tiger skin is more than thirty times, you don't have to deceive me as the shopkeeper, I don't know how to act." ”

The shopkeeper pointed to the tiger and said, "The most valuable thing about this tiger is this tiger skin, followed by the tiger bone, and the rest of the flesh and blood are worthless." Look for yourself, the skin of this tiger has been broken, it is not worth anything at all, and it is only a tiger bone that can be used, and I have thirty times is not less. ”

"It's still too little." The big man shook his head.

The shopkeeper took the cloth towel handed by the guy and wiped his hands, and said: "Our "Yonghetang" is the largest pharmacy in Jiangnan, and there has never been a bully in Tongsuo, if you are too little, you can go to other pharmacies to ask." ”

Dahan's face was ugly, and he held back for a long time before he said: "My brother is seriously injured and needs at least 50 yuan to be treated. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, "This strong man, it's not that I don't follow you, it's just that our pharmacy has its own rules, and it's impossible to set prices arbitrarily, and besides, I'm just a shopkeeper, I don't have that right, 50 guan, you better go to another house and ask." ”
