"Brother Zhou, you have taught me some secrets of raising insects for a while, what about picking insects? I want to pick a general, I haven't been fighting insects for a few days, and my heart is itchy! Shen Yu couldn't wait to come to the courtyard where he sent Zhou Xu early in the morning, rubbing his hands.

Zhou Xu smiled when he heard this: "The third son is a little bit of a worm keeper, and his skills are unbearable, so I want to pick a few good worms to raise back, right?" ”

Shen Yu smiled: "That's right, if you learn something, you must use it, otherwise we won't learn it in vain!" ”

Zhou Xu nodded: "Every eighth today, I knew that the third prince was going to come to me, so let's go to the market to see if there are any good insects recently!" ”

Shen Yu's eyes lit up and said, "You're finally willing to help me pick worms!" Great, Brother Zhou! ”

……

On the carriage to the market, Zhou Xu said: "Let's pick insects for a while, the third son needs to remember [five no]!" ”

Shen Yu was curious: "What do you mean by five missing?" ”

"First, insect winter melon cream; second, insect nail marks; Third, insect wings embroidered shoulders and shoulders; Fourth, insect wing plasters; Fifth, the bone of the side of the insect wing is white! ”

Zhou Bi, that is, Zhou Xu in front of Shen Yu, the five points he said were actually taught to him by Xu He.

Since ancient times, the south of the Yangtze River, especially Songjiang, Yangzhou and Hangzhou, is the most fond of insects.

This tradition has also been passed down to future generations.

Yangzhou's insect market is generally mixed with antique shops in one market.

When Xu He's previous unit organized to study antique appraisal, he often went to the antique markets in Yangzhou.

Over time, I became familiar with some of the insect friends who played with the insects inside.

Although he doesn't like to play with insects, he knows a lot about this business.

And he has read a few such books, and combined them with practice at the insect stall, and with his cleverness, he soon became half an expert.

Some people will ask, can this half of the experts fool Shen Yu?

It's really possible.

First of all, the work of playing insects has really become popular, in fact, from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, especially in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who played insects.

During this period, many famous books on songworms were published.

For example, these five missing statements.

In fact, it is the content of a book written by an insect named Huang Jin.

What are the five missing?

In fact, it is a way to identify the general bug.

But all the alien species in the worm, the person who plays with the worm is recognizable at a glance.

Shen Yu can also do this.

But after Shen Yu bought the xenomorph insects and went back, he wanted to kill the Quartet when fighting insects, but he didn't expect that these insects would end up in a fiasco.

So Zhou Bi told him that even if you are a general worm, you are not absolutely powerful.

If you find those five shortcomings on your body, it's okay if it's not obvious, but once it's obvious, even if it's a different species, it's a garbage bug.

After playing, even ordinary insects are inferior.

In the era of Dawei, the custom of playing with insects has just begun, where has Shen Yu heard of this kind of experience summed up by the wisdom of later generations, and after hearing it, his eyes shone brightly, and when he arrived at the market, he hurriedly dragged Zhou Bi to pick insects.

But where is a good worm so easy to find?

They picked from the time the sun rose until noon, and when they were hungry, they only bought four or five insects in decent condition.

In the restaurant, Shen Yu sighed: "Although Brother Zhou's method taught me is good, there are no good insects, I have learned a dragon slaying technique!" ”

Dragon slaying, there are no dragons in the world, and if you learn dragon slaying, doesn't it mean that there is no place for it?

Zhou Xu smiled slightly: "Third son, you are too anxious, the so-called easy to ask for priceless treasures, it is rare to have a lover, and it is also a reason to buy bugs." Good bugs can be seen everywhere, so can they still be called the king of bugs? ”

Although Shen Yu knew that what Zhou Xu said was right, he was uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhou Xu knew that the person in front of him was now in an embarrassing situation as a worm keeper.

From ancient times to the present, no one who plays insects dares to say that he has seen through crickets, really like Zhou Xu who he packaged himself, so isn't there a winning general in the world at all?

In reality, this is not possible.

And Shen Yu is even more unbearable, he is now, I have money, I am not afraid that I can't accept good worms, but I am afraid that I don't understand good worms.

What's more, he Shen Yu is rich, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to accept good insects, but he is afraid that he will not be able to meet good insects.

The way to get a person into the game is to grasp his needs.

After knowing these two points, Zhou Xu first hung Shen Yu with Xu Hejiao's "Worm Sutra", making Shen Yu feel that there was hope to complete the first demand in his heart.

Next, Zhou Xu will do what he likes, and then help Shen Yu solve the second demand.

After solving the two demands, he completely won Shen Yu's trust.

The reason is very simple, but the operation needs to be laid out everywhere, and from the beginning of the encounter, it is necessary to cast the bait to lead the big fish into the hue step by step.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhou Xu said: "Third son, don't be busy eating, pad your stomach, let's still find worms!" ”

When Shen Yu heard this, he suddenly felt reasonable, and hurriedly pulled two mouthfuls of food, and went downstairs with Zhou Xu.

As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw a young man selling insects in the lobby of the restaurant buying a cake, asking the store for a bowl of soup, and sitting on the steps at the door to eat.

Seeing this, Shen Yu originally disdained to trade insects with this kind of poor acid.

But when I passed by, I found that the young insect seller, and other insects were strung with bamboo silk to make bamboo cages and carried them with burdens.

But he had a delicate tortoiseshell gourd tied around his waist.

The tortoiseshell is set on a white horned lid and paired with a shiny gourd, which looks very delicate.

"Hey, the worm seller, do you sell that gourd in your waist?" Shen Yu looked at the young man condescendingly.

The young man wiped his mouth and said, "Don't sell it, I have a worm king, and after eating, I will go to the Insect Pavilion to earn money!" ”

Shen Yu sneered and said, "You are a poor sour who can't even afford to eat cakes, and you still learn from others to fight insects? What do you fight? Are you in tatters? ”

His words drew laughter from all around.

The young man was not annoyed, and said humbly: "It's impossible for me to lose as a worm, this is my family's [Eight Defeats Long Pointed Wings]!" ”

Each bug family has a different name for their bugs, but this name is interesting, I don't know anything else, but it's certain that I've won eight games in a row and are undefeated.

Shen Yu suddenly became interested when he heard this: "Hey, release it for me!" If the thing is good, I bought it! ”

The young man pursed his lips and said, "I won't sell it!" But it's not impossible to show you, so that you don't have to say I'm a liar! ”

After saying that, he took out the gourd and poured out the worms inside.

Most of the people in this area like to play with insects, and as soon as the young man's insect was released, everyone took a closer look, and immediately laughed: "Young man, this insect is a waste worm, are you bragging?" ”

"Haha, look at this worm, there are spots on the wings, which looks like those good insects, the wings are shiny and shiny!"

Shen Yu shook his head when he saw it and said, "I don't want insects, you just sell the gourd to me!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was ripped off his robe by Zhou Xu on the side.
