Chapter 31 Giant Whale(2/4)
Li Xuewu nodded the cage in the old man's hand and said: "What I want is a painted thrush from home, not your thrush. If it dares to make any sound of thrush, I will send people to post it all over the street."
Notice!"
"you!"
The old man never expected that he would be so shameless when he encountered such trouble today!
Just now, he was just angry with Li Xuewu, and deliberately agreed that this was a thief from his hometown, just to bet that Li Xuewu couldn't pay for it, and that even if Li Xuewu was rich, he wouldn't buy the bird at a high price.
But who would have thought that this young man really has no martial ethics, so he would be trapped in a pit and kicked hard!
How could this thrush not be called a thrush? He would have cried if he really called out the thief in his hometown.
But now, he was in trouble. It wasn't that Li Xuewu didn't buy it, but that he didn't dare to sell it.
He also saw that this grandson didn't come for a bird, not from the beginning, but came for his bird cage.
Let alone thirty-five, this bird cage cannot be sold even for three hundred and fifty!
The cage is made of rosewood, the bars are made of rosewood, the water jug is made of fine porcelain, and the cover and catch are made of brass and white copper.
This bird cage is expensive because of the scarcity of red sandalwood, and even more expensive because of the difficult craftsmanship. Earlier, the craftsman couldn't make one like this in half a year, not to mention that the cover cloth is top-quality brocade and the hooks are strung with jade beads.
I won’t talk about the other bits and pieces. If you don’t put them together for a few thousand, they will definitely not be sold.
Li Xuewu also had a thief's eye, and he was attracted by this cage at a glance. He couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but he did know the wood, because many of the furniture at home were made of this stuff.
"Hey! You should open the door!"
Li Xuewu raised his right hand and urged the old man: "I am a person who has the most virtuous nature to live a good life. I don't want birds and larks to be trapped in this cage. I caught this thief from my hometown just to release him. Hurry up.
Don’t delay my kindness.”
Listen, this sounds like a human saying. Thieves in my hometown are one of the four pests. Now I want to kill these things, but he said that he has a compassionate heart and wants to let go!
Every bad thing comes with smoke!
Li Xuewu didn't care, and didn't look at the comments of the people around him. He just forced the old man to open the Japanese door of the bird cage.
The old man's face was full of anger, his mouth was trembling with anger, and he clutched the bird cage in his hand but did not dare to open it no matter what.
Unexpectedly, after many years of liberation, there are still gangsters in this city!
"Let's go~ stop making trouble~"
Gu Ning finally couldn't bear it, so she took Li Xuewu's hand and persuaded him: "Hurry back after buying the flowers. We are still waiting for dinner at home."
Li Xuewu saw that the old man really refused to let go, so he could only retract his hand. He was bad, but not evil.
"You must not have the intention to hurt others, but you must have the intention to save others."
Taking a step back, Li Xuewu's face no longer had the playful smirk, but instead was just serious.
Taking Gu Ning's hand, Li Xuewu pointed at the foot of the doorstep and said coldly: "Eight years ago, a few boys sold crickets on this street and used your roof to hide from the rain. What did you do?
You should still remember it, right?"
"You! You are..."
The old man thought for a moment, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Li Xuewu again, but he only felt that the little boy back then was in no contrast to the bright clothes he wears now.
"I'm not here to seek revenge. The cold looks I received back then are not worth the time I come to seek revenge."
Li Xuewu lowered his eyelids and looked at the houses facing the street that he once envied, but now they all felt low.
"I just want to see if the dog can change and eat shit!"
After saying that, he took Gu Ning and walked forward, even though the old man behind him looked at his back in shock, and he didn't care about the surprised expressions of those onlookers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Ning squeezed Li Xuewu's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know that person..."
“You should do this if you know it”
Li Xuewu turned to Gu Ning and smiled: "Kindness will always be the most attractive thing about you, and it is more valuable than anything else."
Gu Ning was a little at a loss by Li Xuewu's sudden confession. She forcefully broke away from Li Xuewu's hand and walked forward quickly.
This guy really talks about anything on the street, but... his words are really nice.
An unexpected episode did not disturb the mood of the two of them. They walked along the alley and watched. Gu Ning was curious about everything and asked Li Xuewu a few words from time to time.
There are very few flower sellers here, most of them are fish sellers, and they are all goldfish, but there are many styles and varieties.
Molongjing, five-flowered pearls, lion head, red hat, looking at the sky, blistered eyes, swimming leisurely in the big wooden water basin.
"What's this?"
"Molongjing, everything is pitch black"
"What about this?"
"Pearl, big belly and small tail"
"What about this?"
"Looking at the sky, I always seem to be eye-catching with you."
…
The goldfish here are all packed in large wooden basins. The wooden basins are placed on a shelf not high from the ground. There are thick moss growing on the walls of the wooden basins. It is obvious that this is a family property.
The fish seller was a man in his forties. When he saw Li Xuewu coaxing his wife, what he said was correct. It seemed that he had done some research on this.
"You are an expert"
The man gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up and asked with a smile: "What? Is there anyone you like?"
Li Xuewu glanced at Gu Ning and saw that she really liked this thing.
In fact, Li Xuewu doesn't like raising fish very much. It's too strenuous and even more tiring than raising birds.
It's easy to talk about changing the water and feeding, but the key is that this thing floats up inexplicably, and I don't know what's wrong with it.
When Gu Ning saw the man asking, he straightened up, put his hand on Li Xuewu's arm and prepared to leave.
She just looked at it, and even if she liked it, she really liked it, but she didn't know how to keep it.
Having the ability to possess is love, and possessing without the ability is committing sin.
Li Xuewu understood Gu Ning's thoughts. It seemed that in future generations, when he bought it for children, the adults only treated it as a novelty for the children, and did not teach them how to take care of living creatures, nor did they teach them the habits and principles of animals.
But just throw these little lives away after they die, and buy them again if your children want them again.
But with such indifference, what can children learn and understand?
"The space at home is large and spacious enough. Do you have a suitable basin?"
Li Xuewu tapped the moss on the wooden basin and said: "It must be able to give birth to this."
Seeing that Li Xuewu really wanted to buy it, Gu Ning pulled Li Xuewu and asked softly: "Can you raise it?"
Li Xuewu gave her a reassuring look and said confidently: "Don't worry, I am professional in fish farming and I have secrets!"
The man selling fish over there was also quite honest and honest. He knew that Li Xuewu had some troubles, so when he saw what he said, he pricked up his ears and listened.
Gu Ning also looked at Li Xuewu suspiciously. She had never heard that Li Xuewu's family had raised fish, and she had never seen Li Xuewu raise fish himself. Why was there a secret?
When people passing by heard the conversation here, they slowed down and waited, waiting for Li Xuewu to show up. They were eager to learn.
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows at Gu Ning's suspicious gaze and said, "Feed one day at a time..."
As soon as he said the first sentence, the man selling fish was stunned. He had never seen such a fish farmer before.
Then Li Xuewu's words made him burst into laughter: "Feed the children every day, change the water every three days, wash the tank every five days, and change the fish every seven days!"
"Pfft~"
"Hehehe~"
"Hahahaha~"
The people around him only thought that this young man was really interesting, and they all left with smiles. But Gu Ning had already pinched Li Xuewu hard, knowing that he didn't have a decent mouth.
The fish seller laughed loudly, lit the goldfish in the tub and said, "If we had customers like you, our business would be really easy!"
"If you only had customers like me, your business would be ruined! Haha~"
Li Xuewu smiled and gestured, and said: "Here comes a big vat. If you have water lilies here, you can order some for us."
"No problem, just take a look."
Seeing that Li Xuewu was serious about buying it, the man stood up and motioned for Li Xuewu to follow him to the courtyard.
The man grabbed the half-grown man next to him with his hand and told him to watch the stall. He had already led the way for Li Xuewu and the others.
Li Xuewu pulled Gu Ning and followed him into the courtyard. The courtyard was not big and the house looked a little dilapidated, but the rows of large tanks in the courtyard attracted Li Xuewu's attention.
"Nothing new, just a cooking technique passed down from our ancestors, so we can make ends meet."
The man was modest. He led Li Xuewu and the two to the corner, pointed to a row of large vats on the ground and said: "Both wooden basins and clay basins are good, but they are not practical. I still recommend you to get a stone one."
As he spoke, he pointed to the half-meter-diameter round cylinder on the ground and asked, "How about this?"
“Leave it ready at the door”
