Chapter 10 [Selling Insects]

Zou Yue'e and I walked into a shop with a more formal appearance.

Three or two young people were squatting in the corner of the wall, carrying a bunch of six-cent crickets in small porcelain bottles. Zou Yue'e placed the heavy orchid pot against the corner, and then looked up and teased a talking parrot in the bird cage to play with. I walked to the front of the stage and placed the cricket jar on the glass plate, "Boss, are you collecting crickets here?"

The middle-aged boss was stunned, "...Look first." He opened a few pictures of second-hand houses on the counter, steadily walked through the jar, lifted the lid, and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "Hey, I haven't seen such a black seed in the past, it's pretty."

"Don't worry, it's definitely a good insect." Several students on the side also surrounded him.

The boss used a cricket spy to dial it, and his expression was very satisfied, "Have you met?"

I thought about it and nodded and said, "Okay."

After letting the black-headed cricket follow the scale, the boss and several students seemed very surprised: "Ba Li Si? It's big enough!"

The boss calmed down and carefully observed the cricket again, asking, "Are you so big, you can get it from Shandong?"

"No, I was caught by Beijing." I am a more honest person and said to the truth: "Just go up by the moat."

The boss said, "The crickets in Beijing are a few grades away from Shandong. Don't look at them, but they are not good at fighting. Young man, let's do this, I'll charge you for one thousand dollars."

You should know that in the past, we could still find good crickets in Beijing, such as the Eight Great Places of the West Mountain, Yungang, Hexi, and the Thirteen Tombs of Changping. However, in recent years, the overall quality of crickets in Beijing has declined, some of which are scattered, but there are no more insects with good quality. Most of the crickets sold on the market are Shandong, which is the most famous in Sidian Town, Ningyang County, Tai'an City. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that he said that crickets in Beijing have poor fighting ability.

I shook my head without thinking: "It's too cheap, it's worth 5,000, right?"

"Five thousand?" The boss smiled and pushed the cricket jar back: "Then please collect it, don't worry, there is no one in the entire Guanyuan Bird Market that is willing to pay 5,000 yuan to collect it."

I took back the cricket jar and silently left the store.

Perhaps to confirm his words, in the next hour, I asked all the questions in the market, giving eight hundred or three hundred. Some people even thought I didn’t understand and wanted to pay fifty dollars.

Thinking about it, people usually go to Shandong to buy one basket at a low price, so naturally they don’t want to spend thousands to buy a cricket.

I sighed, I missed the past in Guanyuan Bird City in Xizhimen. At that time, after many players caught the good insects, they set up stalls next to the bungalow on the east side of the Bird City for sale. There is no need to pay the stall fee, and there is no restrictions, and the degree of freedom is extremely high.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Just as Zou Yue'e and I were about to get some air outside, the owner of a kind-hearted fish shop next to us held the aquarium and told us a place, saying that we might as well go there to try our luck.

"thank you."

We went to a small garden near the Fuchengmen Overpass. According to the fish seller, many people who bought crickets with Guanyuan Bird Market will communicate here, including rich Kuanye. Unlike ordinary people who play crickets, many rich people rely on this gambling, so if they get into their eyes, they will be willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars.

At the end of the gravel road are several white stone tables.

Some people walk and chat with birds, some people play chess and gossips, which is very lively.

"Xiao Jing, let's change it." Zou Yue'e gave me her flower pot and took the cricket jar: "I think you don't know how to sell things."

I scratched my head embarrassedly: "I'll bother you."

After a brief discussion, Zou Yue'e walked towards a few young people fighting crickets, lifted the cricket jar on the stone table, crossed her legs and sat firmly on the stone bench, took out the small paper fan from the LV handbag, and slowly slapped herself: "Does anyone want crickets? This is an authentic Shandong insect with a black head and black body, absolutely good looks, and it's for sale."

Well, it was clearly caught by me and the moat, so why did they become Shandong crickets?

Her voice really shouted that many people were watching the fun.

I'm not used to this kind of scene, and I always feel a little embarrassed.

Zou Yue'e was calm and cheered the crickets, but she didn't lift the lid for them to see.

At this time, a boy who looked like a junior high school student at the same table curled his lips and said, "Sister, are you talking so evilly, right?"

Zou Yue'e smiled and looked at him: "Don't believe it? Let's take a look?"

"Pinch it!" He poked a classmate beside him: "Why don't you let your marshal try your hand?"

The man put the jar in his arms on the table with confidence, lifted the lid, and used the grass on the roadside that specializes in spies to pluck the crickets. After a rattle came out, the boy glanced at Zou Yue'e: "The Grand Marshal is a 7-liter worm, are he still pinching?"

There are Chinese people in the bustling places.

More and more people are watching.

Zou Yue'e glanced at the cricket jar with her eyes squinted: "Student, you are so young, you dare to be called the Grand Marshal? I think you are the same as Xiao Mi Lier!" Her mouth was so damaged.

Everyone laughed.

Several junior high school students were so angry that they shouted that Aunt Zou's cricket appeared.

However, when Zou Yue'e unfolded the cricket veil slowly, the Grand Marshal's master almost jumped up and shouted "Damn, "Bali!"

Zou Yue'e laughed and added: "It's Bali Liu."

Well, it's obviously eight-liter.

It was difficult for a few people to fight, so they could only bite the bullet and fight.

We don’t lose money or lose money, and our gameplay doesn’t need to be so formal. Since my cricket jar is larger, it naturally serves as a field. The game officially started. Black Pearl discovered its traces the moment after the Grand Marshal entered the court. He rushed forward and slapped his teeth and claws. The Grand Marshal was not weak and bit it head-on.

The collision between teeth is fleeting.

Just look at my black pearl suddenly tilted its head and raised its big scissor-like teeth, clicked, bit the opponent's head heavily, twisted its body beautifully, and directly overturned the Grand Marshal to the ground. Then, he stood proudly and made the winner's cry. In the blink of an eye, the winner was decided.

"Okay! Wonderful!"

"This blow is amazing!"

"Yes! Fucking fierce enough!"

Everyone cheered.

Zou Yue'e narrowed her eyes and patted her palms with a fan: "Is there any challenge?"

"I'll do it!"

"I'll try!"

Two older young men sitting under the shade of the tree volunteered to stand up.

But before Aunt Zou agreed, a middle-aged man with a big belly suddenly walked between us and said, "Don't pinch it first, you said this worm is going to be sold, what is the price?"
