Out of the wine alley, Zhao Huai planned to go to the Qinglongmen downtown next stop.

Qinglongmen downtown is the largest downtown in Jinzhou, located in the inner city, you want to buy beds, tables, chairs and other furniture, or jade, ivory, spices and other luxury goods, as well as famous horses, cats and dogs, birds, fish and insects and other livestock, all can be found in the downtown area.

At the corners of the streets, dogs, cats, and birds of various shapes and colors are shouting and screaming happily on this lively street.

Every time Zhao Huai passed by, he would stop and take a look.

Although the lady said that she wanted to buy some small animals, she did not say whether to buy cats and dogs, or birds, but asked him to watch and buy.

It's really casual.,Where is this attitude that I really want to have a pet.,It seems that I just want to add some vitality to the shop.。

He looked at a wooden cage for a long time, because he noticed that the dog had been staring at him.

Zhao Huai also unceremoniously looked at the Shiba Dog in front of him.

The human eyes are staring at the dogs, and the scene is very friendly.

What do you see?

Zhao Huai couldn't help but think hatefully.

"This guest officer, but you want to buy a dog? Our dogs here are all high-quality products cultivated by dogfighting, and they are guaranteed to be alive and well. The owner of the dog shop on the side saw that Zhao Huai had been staring at the dog, and stepped forward with a smile.

"If you don't buy it, I'll take a look."

When Zhao Huai heard that it was a dog fighting shop, he immediately shook his head.

Now the rich and noble gentry in this city like to fight this and that when they have nothing to do.

In recent years, crickets have become too popular, and many ordinary people have followed the trend, and the rich and wealthy gentry have begun to set foot on other tracks in order to distinguish their hobbies and elegance.

There is a saying that if it is too popular, it will be rotten on the street, and the gentry must think the same way.

Now the new trend is dog fighting and horse racing, whether it is a dog category or a horse, it is not something that ordinary people can play, and it is natural that it has become a new toy for the rich.

But in any entertainment venue, it is inevitable that some people will open a business to do business, one to ten, ten to one, many people rush to it, and every year there are people who lose no pants.

But occasionally there are people who make a lot of money and get rich.

But don't really say it, it has really driven the development of Jinzhou's economy.

The reason why Zhao Huai didn't buy it was nothing more than that the dogs that came out of the dog fighting arena had a more obedient personality and were very dangerous.

He didn't think Madame would like it.

After walking around, Zhao Huai came to the bird shop, which was much more lively than the dog shop.

But there are many deceptions in the bird shop.

Today you buy a new thrush, maybe the bird dealer has smeared some material, so that the feathers of the thrush look not much different from the new bird, but in fact it is an old bird.

In addition, there are extremely beautiful birds, which may be dyed, this kind of bird, which can't survive for too long, and is generally used to deceive novices.

There is indeed a thousand-layer routine for buying birds, but Zhao Huai is not panicking.

He didn't think anyone could trick him.

It has always been him who cheats others, and it is impossible for others to cheat him.

And he also found a surprise.

That is, the life of his [Treasure Connoisseur] came in handy.

In addition to appreciating antique cultural toys, you can also appreciate other things.

The so-called treasure appreciation naturally includes distinguishing objects.

Whether it is a dead thing or a living thing, you can tell it.

Zhao Huai watched next to a group of bird cages.

There are quite a lot of bird species here, in addition to the common thrush and lark, the bird has an excellent voice, as well as goshawks, sparrowhawks and other birds of prey, and there are also cards in the caretaker's yard.

Zhao Huai looked into the store and found some parrots with bright feathers.

As we all know, parrots can learn to speak, which undoubtedly aroused Zhao Huai's interest.

"Let's talk about it."

Zhao Huai smiled at the yellow-green parrot in the birdcage.

"Fool, fool."

The yellow-green parrot's little head was tilted, and it jumped away, not looking at him, and making a childish sound in its mouth.

Zhao Huai was suddenly unhappy, and said, "Eh, you stupid bird, can you still scold?" ”

However, he didn't bother with one bird, so he turned to other birds.

Soon, he saw that among the many bird cages, there was one very special cage, which was placed in a separate place and covered with a black cloth.

Zhao Huai felt curious, so he asked the bird dealer: "Boss, what is the situation of your cage, is it for sale or not?" ”

When the bird dealer saw a guest asking, he smiled and said: "That's the case, this bird is too wild, I can't keep it any way, and when I see the light, I hit the cage, and in desperation, I have to cover it." ”

Zhao Huai nodded understandingly.

Birds often encounter the situation of not being close to each other, and then the bird will keep hitting the cage until it hits itself to death, or is dying.

"Can I take a look?"

Zhao Huai asked.

"It doesn't matter, just look at it from the guest officer."

Zhao Huai lifted the corner of the black cloth of the birdcage and saw a bird covered in jet black, with a poke of white feathers on its head, lying under the cage, motionless, the white stupid hair was stained with a lot of blood, and the corner of the birdcage was also slightly raised, it seemed that it should have been knocked like this.

Even when he saw this miserable appearance, he couldn't help but sigh, this bird is too aggrieved, it should be released to breathe through the wind.

The bird dealer next to him introduced: "This is a starling, the top of the head is still white hair, it is a good breed, the timbre is excellent, I don't dye it, first say good, I found it in the mountains outside the city, it took a lot of effort at that time, this bird flew very fast, it took more than a dozen people, it took an hour to catch it." ”

"But this starling came back from scratching, and he didn't say a word, he just kept hitting the cage, he was stupid to death, and his brain was probably not good, but his strength was quite big, and he knocked the cage crooked."

Zhao Huai looked at this starling and thought thoughtfully.

Starling, to be honest, is also a magical breed, which looks very much like a crow, with only slight differences.

But it is actually a representative of auspiciousness, and like the magpie, it is also a mascot.

At the same time, it can also imitate the calls of more than a dozen species of birds, including parrots, and can also imitate human speech.

The life of [Treasure Connoisseur] was activated, and Zhao Huai's facial features were immediately magnified.

His eyes slowly narrowed, and all the details of the starling in front of him were in full view.

This starling's eyes are full of spirituality, unlike other birds, although the wings can't flutter, but the small eyes are still turning.

It was very strange, staring at the outside of the cage, or rather, at the Xuan Ring in its hand, not knowing what it was thinking.

It's as if you have a mind of your own.

Through the fate, Zhao Huai can basically conclude that this bird is not so simple.

If it doesn't, probably the bird dealers will throw it away and get it taken by the wild cats.

So, he decided to take it down.

But before that, let's see if we can mix up the life grid first.

threw away the copper coin, and as expected, got a "blessing" result.

A yellow ball of light escaped.

[Observing Words and Colors (Huang Pin Inferior)]: Merchants do business with you, you can always get a good price and save a lot of things.

"The bargaining artifact is not of high grade, but the practicality is good."

Zhao Huai gradually discovered that sometimes practicality is more important than grade.

"Boss, sell me this starling."

Zhao Huai said loudly.

The bird dealer put down his work and asked curiously: "Why did you buy it, it doesn't scream, and it doesn't look good." ”

"As the saying goes, people are expensive and ambitious, birds are expensive and beautiful, so it is better to buy a good-looking bird, this bird is afraid that it will not live long."

The bird dealer was also kind enough to remind.

Zhao Huai smiled: "It's better to buy and bury it than to be thrown away and eaten by a wild cat." ”

After listening to his words, the bird dealer's eyes were moved, and he sighed with emotion:

"Alas, the guest officer is also a kind-hearted person, so I will charge you a hundred yuan."

"Yes."

Zhao Huai nodded.

One hundred wen can be said to be a big bargain, otherwise a bird usually costs more than a dozen taels of silver for a bird, and the expensive one can be sold for hundreds of taels, and the price of starlings is more than five hundred taels.
