Only when we get close can we truly see this red sunflower clearly.

It is about 40cm long, several times that of ordinary domestic ornamental parrots. The bird's body is white with a light pink, the crown is arc-shaped, the salmon meat is pink, the inner side of the wings is a relatively light salmon pink, the inner side of the tail is orange, the beak is black, and the outer side of the eyes has a light blue circle. Even if it is exhausted, it cannot cover up its majestic momentum.

Put the grass rosewood stick on the Hongshui feet and let it step on it, pick it up, it has a heavy weight in its hands and is very heavy.

I looked at Teacher Xi, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to take it away and sell it, so I said, "It seems that you like it very much, take it home to raise it."

Ximansha shook her head: "No, it looks too fierce." She was timid enough.

"Isn't your father's birthday almost? He's just given it as a gift? This bird is quite valuable."

"That's not OK. It's too loud. First, my dad can't stand it, and second, it's also disturbing the people. Well, I'll go to Panjiayuan for a gift tomorrow before buying it." She looked at her watch, and her face was a little embarrassed: "...You keep it for maintenance. The teacher has to go to Tongrentang to get medicine. Well, goodbye."

I took her into the car, and I came to the cart selling apples on the street with the curious eyes of passers-by. I bought an apple, put it on the asphalt ground, held the red sun and leaned closer. But, the red sun beak suddenly pecked forward. In the blink of an eye, there was a deep pit on the side of the apple. This bird is regarded as a harmful species by the locals, because it often steals coconuts, and the strength of the beak can be seen.

After feeding Hongkui, I reached out to take a taxi on the side of the road.

Maybe the driver was afraid that it would shit on the car, so no one was willing to stop it, and the bus was not allowed to bring pets, so I could only go home and push my dad's 28 bicycle out, fix the red sun in the basket, and simply cover it with a paper case, pressing the cover with my hand, while pedaling the bike to Guanyuan Bird City.

The journey was a bit long, and I rode it for nearly an hour and a half.

In a shop full of bird cages, I pinched my nose to avoid the fishy smell and handed Hongkui to the store where I was feeding the birds. "Does Hongkui be collected?"

"You raised it?" The boss pushed his glasses and took them over to take a look. "The bird is so good, why do you remember to sell it?"

I answered casually: "It's too noisy, well, how much can I pay if I collect it?"

The boss didn't say anything. After careful observation for about five minutes, he said, "I have ankle injury, yes, 5,000."

I shook my head and took the bird back: "...I won't sell it for five thousand, I'll go to another house for a walk."

"Don't leave now, well, how much do you want to sell?"

I calculated silently and said, "The red sunflower of this color is not easy to buy adult birds of fifty or sixty centimeters. My one is only forty centimeters, and I can count as a bird of the same type, so I can even get 10,000 yuan." Most of these large birds are smaller and more valuable, because they are not easy to tame when they are old, but this problem does not exist for young birds.

After discussing for a few minutes, I finally made a payment for 8,800 yuan.

After leaving Guanyuan Bird City, I went to the nearby Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to withdraw all the remaining money from my passbook, which was less than 66,000 in total.

The second day.

I counted 65,000 yuan, stuffed it into four envelopes, and rode my bike to Baoguo Temple in Guang'anmen.

The seller last time was still setting up a stall at his original location. A long way from the distance, I saw several pieces of ancient porcelain on the ground, including the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln bowls, the Cizhou kiln, and the Yuan blue and white. My heart beat twice, and I walked over and greeted the boss. Seeing me coming, he enthusiastically moved a stool and asked me to sit down, pointing to the Yuan blue and white on the curtains, "It's it, let's see how it is."

If calculated based on the total volume, this ancient porcelain is not as big as the one I had last spent 100,000 yuan, but it is longer than it.

There are many decorative patterns in Yuan blue and white. From the bottle mouth to the base, the theme patterns and auxiliary patterns are connected layer by layer, often reaching eight or nine layers. This piece of ancient porcelain covers six layers of patterns, almost from the mouth to the bottom, which is very rare. After bargaining for a while, I saw that the boss still refused to give in, I had to give him the wrapped envelope, "You can just count it."

"Lu, please help me watch the stall." He told a middle-aged man next to him that he was selling things. The boss hugged the envelope and entered the antique shop diagonally opposite. In less than a minute, he turned around and walked out, "...it's not short of money."

Payment for goods is cleared and the transaction is over.

After wrapping the porcelain piece three circles inside and outside, the boss smiled and said, "Look at if you like other things. I'll give you some cheaper ones. Don't worry, I'll make sure the goods are genuine and not adulterated. Look, don't want the official kiln bowl piece?"

"Next time, I have something to do."

"Okay, come here often when you have time. By the way, my surname is Ruan, and everyone here calls me Lao Ruan."

"Well, goodbye Uncle Ruan. If you need it, I'll come here again and ask you."

"Haha, don't be kind."

After buying it, I can say that I am now penniless, with a few hundred yuan, which is not enough to collect the remaining three or two fragments.

I have to find a way to make money.

On the way home, I answered a call from Jiang Yan. She said that Huairou had opened a new grilled fish shop and it tasted good. She asked me if I would go. I could hear the sound of oranges and baked cakes from the other end of my phone. However, I just wanted to make money as soon as possible to collect all the remaining porcelain pieces, so I politely refused.

When I went home, I searched through the refrigerator and cabinets and found that there were no ready-made leftovers. I wanted to eat, so I could only melt a piece of chicken breast and stir-fry a spicy chicken with bell pepper. But I was tired all morning and felt it was too troublesome to make it, so I went to the convenience store in the alley to buy a bag of Master Kong's seafood instant noodles. I put a pot in the kitchen, put eggs in the nest, ordered vinegar, and ate it with a porcelain bowl.

In summer, most of the noodles I eat at home are sesame paste noodles, which is cool.

After drinking a bowl of hot noodles, I immediately saw sweat on my body, and my clothes were flowing.

Alas, if I had known it, I would have bought 40% of hand-rolled noodles to eat sesame paste noodles.

I don’t drink often, but it’s so hot that I opened the refrigerator door and took out Yanjing beer, and I rummaged and sent it into my stomach. While drinking, I also flipped through the black notebook to find something that I could pick up. This time, I naturally wouldn’t dislike the small leaks and not pick them up. As the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. The remaining small pieces of porcelain do not cost a few dollars. Even if they are pieced together for a few times, it is enough to buy them. After picking them up, I locked in several targets and folded the lower right corner of a few pages of paper to mark them.

It's 1:20 p.m.

After taking a shower, I walked out of the south room. As soon as I pushed open the door of the cottage, the ringtone of my cell phone came into my ears.

Take Nokia out of the gap between the two pillows, hey, is it Jiang Yan?

I clamped my phone around my neck and wiped my wet hair with a towel, "Hey? So what's wrong?"

Jiang Yan rushed out with an impatient voice: "What happened to my aunt! I'm in the antique city!"
