Rebirth 1982 Be the stubborn master

Chapter 191 The Talking Magpie
After the two parties reached a deal, Du Kang took out a pen and paper, and began to discuss about these furniture and other items, what to keep and what to take away.

He didn't want to wait for the final deal to be completed, and the two parties would argue over one or two pieces of furniture, so it was better to discuss everything first.

He made a list of furniture and other items, and asked the old man to sign and make a deposit on it. Du Kang went back to raise money and agreed to trade tomorrow.

After discussing the matter, the two left the courtyard, and Luo Lao asked, "Are you sure you will carry out the transaction tomorrow?"

"The sooner this happens, the better. It's located next to the Forbidden City at the foot of the imperial city. If someone robs you, you won't have time to cry."

Mr. Luo has nothing to say, this is 40, a number that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

He originally thought that even if Du Kang wanted to buy it, it would take a month or even a few months to raise money.

In the end, how did you get to Dukang? He bought it without blinking an eye. Are young people nowadays so arrogant?

"Do you have enough money? If not, I can lend you some. It's fine if you don't say a few thousand."

"Thank you Mr. Luo for your kindness, but 40 is still in Mujinxuan's account."

Luo Lao wanted to say something very much, Mu Jinxuan is Mu Jinxuan, you are you, he opened his mouth for a long time and suddenly he has nothing to say, because Mu Jinxuan belongs to him!
Although Du Kang has been propagating that Mujinxuan is cooperating with foreigners and invested by foreigners, he clearly knows that it is just for others to hear, and Mujinxuan is supported by Du Kang.

The current scale is due to his craftsmanship and ability.

It's not a problem at all to get some money in it.

Believe it or not, even if Kojiro knew that Du Kang used the money in Mu Jinxuan's account at will, he wouldn't dare to let it go.

Going home humming a song, Du Kang called Wang Hao and asked him to come over early the next morning.

However, I was still dancing with excitement and started designing with the drawings, thinking about how to make the architectural model of the Forbidden City.

This is a grown-up toy.

Being able to personally make the architectural model of the Forbidden City from scratch step by step, and place it on the table in front of him, is tantamount to a huge achievement, and it's hard for him not to be excited.

Natalia said disgustedly, "You are happy enough."

"Can you be unhappy? Find a good baby."

"What baby?"

Du Kang smiled and said nothing, and was questioned repeatedly by her, before saying, "Let's go there as a family tomorrow, and when you get there, you will know what kind of treasure it is."

Natalia wanted to ask more questions, but Du Kang didn't say a word, just laughed and said nothing, which made her very angry, but she couldn't help it. She gave him a hard look, and went back to the room to continue writing.

Dukang lost his mind about making it because of his trouble, and brought out a pot of feed to feed the little pheasants.

As a handful of feed was sprinkled, pheasants and magpies came to peck at it one after another.

Du Kang grabbed the feed in his hand and spread it out, a magpie jumped onto his hand to peck lightly, carefully placed his hand on the magpie, combed its feathers, and teased the magpie.

"Hello."

"Hello."

I was just teasing, but what Du Kang didn't expect was that this mynah actually imitated his speech, and it really succeeded, which immediately made him stand there in a daze. What's going on?Can even magpies teach and talk?

After being dazed for a long time, he realized that magpies can actually learn to speak, and most of the corvids can learn to speak. For example, jays, red-billed choughs, and red-billed blue magpies can learn to speak.

Even the crow, which has always been regarded as a catastrophe, can learn to speak.

It's just that magpies are fed, but crows are not liked.

Thinking that crows and mynahs belong to the corvid family, but one announces good news and the other announces mourning, their status is very different.

Du Kang really wanted to complain about the crow, why should it be regarded as a creature of mourning.

It is considered to be a crow's mouth. If you see it, even if you don't shoot it down, you have to blast it away.

Back then, it was also a mythical beast, and it had a very high status in myths and legends.

In ancient mythology, people believed that the three-toed golden bird in the sun was a three-legged crow, so in the mythology, the alias of the sun is also called Jinwu.

At that time, the crow was still a symbol of auspiciousness and a divine bird with a prophetic effect.

From the phrase "the crow announces the good news, there is Zhou Xing" can prove the degree to which the crow was loved by people at that time.

As a result, after the Tang Dynasty, the theory that crows represent bad omens appeared, and the sacred bird of the year was slandered as a bird of bad luck, and the sight of crows was regarded as an ominous omen.

From liking to loathing.

Who did it offend?It's about to end up like this.

Fortunately, not every place regards it as ominous. In Fusang, crows are regarded as a kind of lucky bird and a symbol of auspiciousness.

In the legend, the crow is also called the eight-foot bird, which is a divine beast sent by heaven to guide the emperor.

In the streets and alleys, people's clothes and all kinds of ceramic dolls are covered by crows.

He also appears frequently in cartoons.

It is the most exposed bird, so that people often think it is the national bird of Fusang.

The orthodox national bird, the green pheasant, deserves the title of a national bird, and has nothing else. It should be regarded as the most pitiful national bird.

Trying to tease him a few words, a group of crows began to learn to talk to him, saying hello, which made Du Kang's head big.

Mainly because there are too many.

There are dozens of ducks, and they are usually nothing. If they all squat down in front of you and learn to talk, it is like five hundred ducks squawking.

Stretching out his hand, a group of magpies all ran to the tree to rest, leaving only the one in his hand to tease.

After dinner the next morning, Du Kang greeted, "Mom and Dad, darling, today I will take you to a good place."

Liu Yun wondered, "What's the matter, the whole family has to go together?"

"Who knows, I asked him yesterday but he didn't say anything."

Natalia took the opportunity to open her mouth and complained to her parents, it was all his fault inside and out.

In an instant, the whole family stared at him, wanting to know the answer from him.

Du Kang didn't give in, turned a blind eye to their gazes, and said, "You'll find out when you get there. I'll keep you secret here, and I promise to make you very happy."

The family didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd, but they still went out with him under Du Kang's strong request.

Riding bicycles, the family went straight to the Forbidden City and arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City.

Liu Yun was even more puzzled: "What are you doing here, don't you want to take us in for a visit?"

Du Kang didn't speak, and didn't go in. Instead, he rode his bicycle past the door and went forward, then went north, to the courtyard.

Parking the car beside him, Du Kang looked at the wide moat in front of him and asked, "How do you guys see this?"

"The environment is good. After all, it is close to the Forbidden City and it is the core area of ​​Forty-Nine City. But why did you bring us here?"

"I bought a two-entry courtyard here." Du Kang patted the courtyard wall and said, "This is it, let's go in and have a look."

The whole family was in an uproar. They couldn't believe what Du Kang said was true. This is next to the Forbidden City. Would someone sell a house in such a place?

They shouldn't be short of money.

Du Kang waited for them to calm down a little, and took the family in.

At this moment, the old man was inside. He saw their family coming, but he also didn't expect him to come so early.

I couldn't help being surprised, "Why did you come here? Did you raise enough money? Or did you simply bring your family over to see the house?"

"It doesn't have much money, one day is enough, if it is possible, we can go through the formalities today."
