The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 20
"You can buy as many as you want, even the public ones are fine, just stew them during the Chinese New Year." Yang Ming came over and said.

So, Sun Fangfang and Aunt Liu scattered the chickens they liked on the ground, looked at their footprints, left the ones that walked in disorder, and put them back when they walked straight. After a while, they picked 7 or 8 chickens, Zheng Baoer She also mixed in, but the little girl was a bit ruthless, the chicken she caught squeaked and the stall owner's face twitched a little, and Wei Qingqing finally pulled her to play with the puppy.

After picking the chicks, the women went to pick ducklings and geese. Yang Ming was bored, so he chatted with the pigeon seller.

"Master, how much do you pay for a pair of pigeons?"

"If you don't sell it by pair, you sell it by catty. It costs 8 yuan per catty. Are you selling pigeons or buying pigeons?" the peddler asked.

"What breed are your pigeons?"

"These are all meat-eating pigeons. There are many varieties. There are red balls, gray balls, white balls, and king of landings. Which one do you want?" The peddler saw that Yang Ming didn't look like a knowledgeable one, so he started to fool around.

"Don't think I don't know pigeons, but I'm sure you don't have any of the four breeds you mentioned."

"Hehe, you big brother, really..." The peddler smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, they all eat meat, and you can't tell what kind of species they have lost their hair, right? You just say this big flower?" The peddler I caught a huge pigeon from the cage. The feathers on this pigeon were of all colors, red, white, gray, yellow and black, and some had several colors on one feather. "This is a hybrid breed. One weighs four catties, heavier than the Landing King..."

"It's really quite big." After Yang Ming took it, he weighed it and found that it was indeed quite heavy.

"This is a new nest. If it grows a small awl, it will still be heavy!" said the peddler.

"How do you separate male and female?" Yang Ming asked.

"It's simple, one is to look at its head, the flat and big head is the male, the round and small one is the female, and the other is to look at the butthole, the male is convex outward, and the female is concave inward. " said the peddler.

"The male can snore, but the female can't." said an old man next to him carrying a cage. The cage was covered with a black cloth, so it was hard to see what was inside.

"Did you see this old man? His hand is full of good pigeons." The peddler pointed at the old man who interrupted.

The peddler asked the old man, "Master Niu, what good pigeons did you get today?"

"Follow me!" The old man answered succinctly.

"Yo? Come on, I've only heard of it but haven't seen it! Let's open our eyes?" The peddler's eyes lit up.Yang Ming also looked over curiously.

"Success!" The old man was very straightforward, put the cage on the ground, and lifted up the black cloth.

I saw a pair of blood-red pigeons in the cage. The pigeons were extremely small. If you weighed them with a scale, they would probably weigh less than five taels, but they were born strangely. All spread out in all directions, like a long spin on the top of a person's head, which is called a chrysanthemum crown, and on the back of the neck and forehead, there are inverted feathers, which are called back and forth. Like a crown, the eyes are covered by a bunch of small hairs, which are called cover eyes.

There are also feathers on the legs, covering the red legs, and the tail is double tail, which is like a peacock spreading its tail, but it is downward.

"You got the idea right last time and sold it for 100 yuan. How much do you plan to sell this time?" asked the peddler.

"This pair of somersaults, if you can do two somersaults in a row, you will be [-]." The old man said.

"Eighty? Eighty is a bit expensive, Mr. Niu, let me sell it for fifty..." the peddler said.

"Eighty, no price..." The old man shook his head and said.

"Master, you pair of pigeons, can you really do somersaults?" Yang Ming asked, looking at the strange pair of pigeons.

"Am I still lying to you?" The old man was not happy, but he also knew that this young man was not very knowledgeable, so he lifted the cage and explained to him, "Did you see the tails of this pair of pigeons? They are two-tailed, two-tailed. Pigeons are stupid when they fly in the sky, but it is because of their stupidity that they can turn somersaults, just like driving a car. If you drive fast, it is difficult to do difficult movements. Yes, have you ever seen the one who dared to drive over a hundred miles?"

"Then there are quite a few pigeons with big tails? Why can't other pigeons turn over?" Yang Ming asked again.

"..." The old man couldn't answer, so he simply opened the cage, "Let them fly around, open your eyes, and you will believe it..."

As if the signal had been prepared in advance, as soon as the old man opened the cage, the pair of somersault pigeons flew out, and flew into the sky in a blink of an eye.

"Uncle Niu, are you pair of pigeons flying away? I've heard that pigeons get dizzy when they flip somersaults. Don't lose them..." the peddler said worriedly.

Uncle Niu rolled his eyes at him, and said confidently: "Go ahead, my pigeon will fly twice in the sky, and it will return to the cage by itself."

However, Yang Ming kept staring at the two pigeons in the sky. As soon as the two pigeons were free, they went crazy and circled around Daji in the sky. As if being hit by a shotgun, the twin tails spread out, and it flipped forward two somersaults. After the two somersaults, the tail stretched out again, and it stabilized its body lightly, and the other pigeon did the same Following the example, he turned two somersaults directly.

Yang Ming could see that the pair of big tails really played a key role. The pigeon used them to control its direction during somersaults.

The pigeon flew two laps over Daji, flipped over seven or eight times, and landed lightly on the old man's arm. Maybe they were tired from flying. The two pigeons opened their mouths and panted heavily. The pigeons were trembling up and down, and the old man put his arms around the mouth of the cage, and the two pigeons went straight in, sticking their heads in the sink to drink water.

"How about it? My pair of pigeons are brightly colored, so you can see them clearly. If they were white, you wouldn't be able to see clearly at all..." The old man looked at Yang Ming triumphantly.

"It's only been two rounds of flying. You can see that they are tired. They must be old pigeons." Wei Qingqing did not know when she came behind Yang Ming. She was also attracted by the pigeons' somersaults.

The old man blew his beard and stared at his eyes angrily: "You girl, you really can't speak, the uncle will teach you to recognize... have you seen their noses? The hoarfrost on their noses is relatively thin, and it looks quite tender. That is new pigeons. If they are old pigeons, the hoarfrost on their noses will be thicker. Some old pigeons have been rubbed off the hoarfrost on their noses because they keep young pigeons. But you can see Their beaks, those who have raised young pigeons, have calluses at the corners of their beaks, do you think my pair have any?" In order to prove his words, the old man even grabbed an old pigeon from the peddler's pigeon cage for comparison.

"It's really different..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Of course, in the pigeon market in Majiagou, who doesn't know that my old cow never cheats?" the old man said.

"How much is your pair of pigeons?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"Eighty!" The old man stretched out his right hand, stretched his thumb and index finger, and made a sign of eight.

"Success! I want this pair of pigeons..." Wei Qingqing directly took out a wallet and pulled out an old man's head. She could see that Yang Ming liked this pair of pigeons, so she bought it.

"Come on, you girl is refreshing, I will keep some good pigeons for you in the future." After confirming the authenticity of the banknotes, the old man took out his wallet from his pocket with a smile on his face, and counted two ten-yuan bills for change. Then he took out a net bag from his waist, caught two pigeons, and stuffed them in along the feathers.

"Okay! This is my business card. If you want good pigeons, call me directly..." Wei Qingqing took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"Does the girl still have her business card? Doesn't she look like an ordinary person?" The old man took the business card, carried the empty cage, and left happily.

"When did you print your business card?" Yang Ming asked.

"It was printed when I was working in the sales center. It only had the phone number and work unit on it, but the phone number is my mobile phone number." Wei Qingqing said.

"Let's buy another pair of meat pigeons? As the saying goes, pigeons and quail fly in the sky, and rabbits and dogs run on the ground. If you raise a pair of meat pigeons, it will be delicious if you cook them in a pot during the Chinese New Year!" Yang Ming said. He took a fancy to the hybrid, the head was too big.

Wei Qingqing smiled and said: "You are the head of the family, you are the master! If you want me to say, let's buy two more pigs, a house, a treasure cover on the top, and a pig on the bottom. Doesn't this mean that a house has to be raised?" Pig?"

"You are the leader of our family. You can do whatever you say. I'm going to the livestock market now to buy two piglets." Yang Ming said, turning around and walking towards the livestock market.

Yang Ming still knows how to pick a piggy. There is a saying that a pig picks a strong dog, and a dog picks a lame one. To pick a piggy, one needs to pick a big one so that he can grow strong and fat. But picking a dog is different. Now, I have to pick Laiba's dog. It looks malnourished at first glance, and it must be a good dog when it grows up.
