Chapter 34: Leading the Dog and Dancing the Bird to Promote Weaving
In the afternoon, Chen Longting was in a computer class, okay, it was an abacus class, but Chen Longting liked to call the 'abacus class' a computer class, because the sound of the plan plate was too similar to the sound of tapping on the keyboard in his previous life, which made him miss it very much!!
It's just a pity that this is no longer possible.
As he spoke, he quickly tapped the abacus with his hands, completed the homework assigned by the teacher in minutes, and then was the first to raise his hand to signal completion.
The teacher of abacus class was a middle-aged gentleman wearing glasses, dressed in a cyan robe, very Sven, he saw Chen Longting raise his hand, so he walked over to confirm the calculation results, and after finding that there was no problem, he said with a smile:
"Chen Longting, very good! He is the first to complete his homework, and all students should learn from him. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Longting was calm, what kind of abacus was not difficult for him at all, he looked at the classmates who were still racking their brains to calculate, although their faces were calm, but they still showed a proud look, but they sighed in their hearts, it seems that they have to take time to make up for them again, as a 'scholar', I should help them, otherwise they will always be alone, and it will be too lonely, right?
Zhou Yuyu on the side saw that Chen Longting was very nervous, and couldn't help but pout, and then stretched out his tongue and made a grimace at him, but he didn't know that the cute appearance of this girl made Chen Longting stunned, and only after a while did he react, and said in his heart:
"This is the first time I've made a face at me, what's the situation today? This girl didn't have a good face for me before, is it because of the story I told in the morning? Hehe, I knew that I would tell a few more before, and I directly brushed my favorability! You must know that in addition to the royal sister, the cute sister paper is also my dish! Haha!"
After class, the students began to pack up their things and prepare to go home from school, Chen Longting took the lead and left the classroom, he walked on the playground and stood still, and after a while, he saw three followers coming over, Chen Longting saw that there were only three of them, so he asked:
"Where's Yueyue?"
Hearing the young master's words, Ge Erdan said helplessly:
That Hu Yuyao pulled the young lady and left first. ”
Yaoyao's girl is really getting more and more rebellious, every time she does this, she abducts my wife, what does this mean? Forget it, sooner or later, I will take her in! After speaking, he left the academy with three followers and returned to the Chen family's mansion with Uncle Cai and Uncle Hu, who came to pick them up.
After dinner at home, while it was still early, Chen Longting sent someone to inform Wang Mazi quickly, and then changed his clothes to lead Wangcai, and waited for the three followers at the door.
After a while, I saw that Tie Zhu had all two of them arrived, and Wang Mazi's voice also sounded behind him, seeing that Ge Erdan had not yet come, Chen Longting couldn't help but say:
"Erdan, go and steal the partridge, you won't be discovered by Uncle Cai, right?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a few bird calls, and then he saw Ge Erdan running over from a distance with a bird cage, and then handed the bird cage to Chen Longting, so he hurriedly said:
"Young master, let's go quickly, this partridge is crowing too loudly, if my father hears it and finds out that I stole his partridge, he will have to open my ass to flowers." ”
Chen Longting smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to take the birdcage, and looked up to see that there were two yellow-billed and colorful partridges in the cage, jumping up and down happily, and the mouth continued to make a pleasant sound, so Chen Longting led Wangcai with his left hand, held the birdcage in his right hand, and followed him with three dog legs, and walked out of the house very domineeringly, and then walked to the Chenjiachong market with Wang Mazi with two armor dings.
Chen Longting was holding Wangcai while teasing the birds in the cage, and when he walked in front of him first, the momentum on his body was a dashing one! And Wangcai, who had a slightly lower IQ, was constantly wagging his tail and spreading joy, and as soon as someone passed by, it let out a few howls, and the frightened passers-by did not dare to approach, and they watched from a distance, and from time to time they stretched out their hands to point at Chen Longting.
Hahahaha! What is this called? This is called dog fighting human power! We finally did a lot of evil, don't you think it's very low-level fun? Then you must not have experienced it, let me tell you, this feeling is really not ordinary cool, haha!
Lead the dog and the bird, don't be too arrogant! Well, continuing to the next show, Chen Longting said:
"Wang Mazi, is there a place in the town to fight and weave (fight crickets)?"
When Wang Mazi behind him heard this, he immediately smiled and said:
"Shao Dongjia, you are the right person, Dou Zhu Weaving (Dou Crickets) is very hot in our town, there is a Yamen in the former Qing Dynasty in the town, and now it has been changed to a weaving museum, covering an area of more than ten acres, there are many experts in it, and the fish and dragons are mixed, if you want to play, you have to go to the noon number to pick crickets. ”
Seeing this, Chen Longting's eyes immediately lit up, handed the birdcage to Ge Erdan, and then pointed ahead with a smile on his face:
"Walk you!"
Fighting crickets is fighting crickets, don't underestimate it, there are many doorways in it, since ancient times, it is also known as "autumn xing" and "fighting to promote weaving", that is, the entertainment activities of fighting with crickets for fun. Cricket fighting is a unique cultural life of China with a strong oriental color, and it is also a Chinese art, and now it can be regarded as an intangible cultural heritage!
People originally listened to the sound of crickets, but gradually developed to watch their fights, and from this small aspect, it also reflects the changes in social history. As for which dynasty the activity of fighting crickets originated in, there is still no information to prove, but the Song Dynasty Dynasty and the opposition inside and outside the wind of fighting crickets, and "ten thousand gold assets, pay a peck", has been proved by historical materials. In the Qing Dynasty, the competition became more and more exquisite, and crickets were required to have no "four diseases" (raising their heads, tendrils, practicing their teeth and kicking their legs).
The appearance color is also distinguished by dignity and inferiority, "white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow".
Crickets fight, to pick the weight and size of the same, with steamed special Japanese grass or horsetail mane to lead the fight, let them compete with each other, after several confrontations, the defeated retreat, the victorious wings long song. In the town bazaars of the Republic of China, there are many casinos fighting crickets. In short, since the rise of this activity, it has been [**100 years], and it has always been widely loved by people and has been flourishing for a long time.
And not to mention the cricket crickets, even the production process of the cricket jar is divided into two schools of north and south, don't underestimate the cricket jar, it can best reflect the value of the cricket owner, the cricket jar made by the famous family since ancient times is worth a lot of money, Chen Longting remembers that in the early days of the Republic of China, there was a person named 'Zhao Ziyu', the cricket jar he made was worth 180 yuan in the current national market.
Ancient scribes summed up the "five virtues" for crickets: "When the song is not lost, the letter is also; when the enemy is encountered, the fight is brave; the serious injury does not surrender, the loyalty is also; the defeat is wailing, and the shame is also; the cold is entering the house, and the current affairs are also known." ”
This is also why Chen Longting came to the Republic of China, a chanter to fight crickets, this time you can finally enjoy it, after speaking, I saw everyone walk to a wooden building with two vermilion lacquer pillars, there is a sign on it, it reads 'Promote Weaving Hall', seeing this scene, Chen Longting was immediately excited to take Wangcai in, but was stopped by Wang Mazi, only to listen to him:
"Shaodong, this dog can't be brought in, otherwise if it barks and startles the crickets, it will disturb your Yaxing. ”
Chen Longting thought about it for a while, so he handed the dog leash bird cage in his hand to the two armor guards behind him, and asked them to wait outside, and then asked:
"Wang Mazi, where is the noon number you said?"
As soon as he said this, he saw a little beggar coming from the door, holding a clay pot in his hand, and with big shining eyes, he said:
"Boss, the noon number is on the first building on the left, do you want to buy crickets?"
Chen Longting looked down at the little beggar who was a head shorter than himself, and when he saw that he was dirty, he didn't mind, so he replied with a smile:
"Yes, sir, I'm just going to buy crickets. ”
When the little beggar heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he spoke:
"I have a cricket here, boss, you can take a look, as long as five pieces of the ocean, the cheapest in the afternoon number is also twenty pieces of the ocean." ”
Wang Mazi on the side waved his hand and said impatiently:
"Where did you come from, get out of the way, don't get in the way of our young owner!!"
After saying this, Wang Mazi put his hand on his waist, revealing the shell gun in the cowhide holster on his waist, and the frightened little beggar's face turned pale, and he was about to run away, but Chen Longting stopped him, and then said:
"It's all right, then what little beggar let me take a look at your crickets. ”
Hearing this, the little beggar stopped, and at the same time, he raised his eyes to look at Wang Mazi, as if he didn't dare to speak.
Chen Longting smiled, and then said:
"What's the matter? With me here, you don't have to be afraid of him. ”
听到这话,小乞丐这才呼出一口气,他刚刚的确被王麻子给吓住了,要知道‘枪’在一般人眼里可是十分具有恐吓性的,随后小乞丐,捏着拳头,红着小脸低头开口道:
"I can show you, but I'm not a beggar!"
Yo, my self-esteem is quite strong, Chen Longting nodded with a smile, and then said:
"Okay, you're not a beggar, are you?" Little pot friend, hurry up and show your crickets to Young Master Ben, maybe I'll buy them on the spot. ”
Hearing this, the little beggar immediately opened the clay jar in his hand, but saw that there was a small purple cricket inside, counting the tentacles at most four centimeters long, and the body was almost two centimeters, although Chen Longting didn't know about crickets, but he had at least checked the information, generally adult crickets have a body of at least three centimeters, counting the tentacles are six centimeters long, and even larger ones are seven or eight centimeters long.
This cricket, the whole body is purple, especially the back, and the head, looking at the back of this small purple cricket has two tail whiskers, he knows that it is a male, if it is three, it is a female, because the middle one is the ovipositor, these are introduced on the golden finger.
Chen Longting looked at the little beggar looking at him, and surprisingly, this made him a little embarrassed, so he took out ten pieces of Xian Dayang from his body, stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said:
"I'll reward you, sir, forget about this cricket, you can keep it for yourself. ”
As soon as these words came out, the little beggar was stunned, and then saw him bite his lip tightly, shook his head, and did not reach out to catch the ocean.
"What's too little?" Chen Longting's face changed at the moment, don't be embarrassed! Master, I finally showed kindness, if you don't know how to be interested, get out of here!
At this time, the little beggar raised his head, looked at Chen Longting intently, and said:
"My grandmother once said that there is no merit to be lost, and the money must be earned with both hands, and it is one's own. ”
Hearing these words, Chen Longting's anger immediately dissipated, and then a smile began to appear on his face, looking at the stubborn little beggar in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Okay, even if the master buys your cricket, this will always work, right?"
Seeing Chen Longting say this, the little beggar smiled and nodded, so he handed the mud jar in his hand to Chen Longting, and at the same time took the ten pieces of Xian Dayang handed over by the other party, but Chen Longting shook his head, the moment the little beggar was laughing just now, it was like a lotus flower out of the mud and not stained, simple and pure.
But Nima! A boy smiles so beautifully, and he has wool for it? Do you think everyone is as handsome as Young Master Ben and me? After speaking, Chen Longting took the clay jar, glanced at the little beggar who turned away, and then walked into the noon with Wang Mazi and three followers, but saw that there were many cricket jars inside, including various colored ceramics and wooden jars, most of which were peach and willow wood, and a few high-grade yellow pear, red sandalwood, and so on.
But I saw a guy from the shop come over and said:
"Yo, isn't this the chief of the king?
Wang Mazi suddenly became quite worthy, and said with a smile:
"How can I have that spare time to fight crickets? I am accompanying the young master of the Chen family to come over to have a look. ”
"Young Master of the Chen family?" The guy was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, looked at Chen Longting with a surprised expression, and opened his mouth to say:
"Young owner, you come to the noon, it really makes us shine! You can look at it casually, look at it casually, think it's good, if you want to buy it, I'll give you half a discount!"
Chen Longting's eyes lit up, and he immediately and his three followers quickly opened all kinds of cricket jars, and carefully examined them, and he found that the crickets in these jars were bigger than one, black, yellow, red, and mixed crickets of various colors, and it seemed that each one was much bigger than the crickets that Chen Longting bought from a small beggar.
Then didn't I buy a loss before? Forget it, it doesn't matter, I didn't plan to buy his cricket, ten yuan of the ocean is to see that he is pitiful, give it to him, after speaking, Chen Longting opened the mud jar and looked at the little purple cricket in front of him, it was constantly turning, and the two tentacles on its head were still shaking, and it was very hilarious!
Unlike the crickets sold here, they are lazy, even if they knock on the jar, they don't see them move a few times, and they have to use their horsetail mane to provoke them, and they will only move a few steps, each like an uncle.
It's small, look at you so lively, I still like your temperament! After speaking, Chen Longting pointed to a cyan glazed hexagonal jar and asked:
"Man, take this down and show it to me. ”
Seeing Chen Longting pointing to the jar on top, the shopkeeper immediately said with a smile:
"Shao Dongjia, your vision is really high! This cricket is the treasure of our noon town, the black and green king!" After speaking, the man took down the hexagonal jar, opened the jar, and saw that it was a male cricket with a black and blue body, almost seven centimeters long, and the end was mighty and domineering.
Chen Longting nodded, his heart was good, and then asked:
"How much?"
The shopkeeper smiled ambiguously, opened his mouth and said:
"The Black and Green King, but he is a general, at least worth this number. With that, he stretched out his hand and put all five fingers up.
"Fifty pieces of the ocean?" Chen Longting tried to ask.
"No, it's 500 yuan of the ocean, and you only need to give 250 yuan of the ocean, and it's done." ”
Two hundred and five? Two of your sisters! A broken cricket is so expensive! Now the 'present' ocean is Yuan Datou, and the gold is very expensive, at least five times the difference compared with the previous silver dollar! A few years ago, this cricket was not 2,500 yuan? This Nima is too expensive! And I don't want to buy crickets at all, master!
After speaking, Chen Longting spoke again very cruelly:
"That young man, I didn't buy crickets, but I think this jar is good! It is more suitable for my family's 'purple teeth', so I asked how much this hexagonal jar costs?" Chen Longting gave the little cricket a name, and seeing that it was purple all over, it was called Purple Tooth.
"What?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper jumped up directly, and suddenly had a feeling of wanting to die.
Seeing the way the shop guys jumped to their feet, Wang Mazi and the three followers behind Chen Longting burst into laughter.
