Siheyuan: Days of bird abuse in Siheyuan

Six pm.

The small black market in Dongji Lane.

Hou Weimin is constantly searching for information about the beast pet with great potential mentioned by the system.

Ok?

"Brother, do you want wild goods?"

After walking around the black market, Hou Weimin came to a stall owner who had six or seven cages covered with black cloth in front of him.

"Open it and see what's inside."

The black cloth was opened.

Pheasants, native dogs, hares...

But Hou Weimin immediately set his eyes on the green snake, about 30 centimeters long, with mysterious patterns.

In those extremely small vertical pupil eyes, Hou Weimin actually saw an anthropomorphic look of fear.

This is the pet that the system wants to find for itself!

But, it was actually a snake?

"How much is this green snake?"

Hou Weimin looked at the rough-looking man calmly.

To be able to get so many wild goods into the black market these days, this rough-looking guy is not as simple as he looks.

"You've come at the right time. This is a native snake from the mountain. It's a very good tonic! Especially if there's a patient in your family, drinking a sip of snake soup might cure the disease. I want to tell you something, please don't tell anyone!"

The rugged man suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I bought this from a hunter in the countryside. The hunter said that when he caught this snake, he clearly cut it with a knife, and the snake's intestines had already flowed out. The hunter was going to stew the snake the next day, but guess what happened?"

Before Hou Weimin could respond, he continued:

"The next day, the hunter found the snake alive and well in the cage, without even a single sign of injury on its body!!"

"Originally, the hunter thought this thing had spirituality and planned to release it back into the forest. I happened to pass by him and persuaded him to buy this green snake from him! After all, humans are the spirits of all things. No matter how spiritual other animals are, they are still just animals. Their value of existence is to satisfy people's appetites. Don't you agree?"

The boss said with a cunning look on his face.

"How much do you plan to sell this snake for? I'm not going to be taken advantage of. If it's too expensive, don't tell me!"

"Five dollars!"

The boss acted as if he was heartbroken.

"Two pieces!"

Since the price is so high, it’s time to pay on the spot. Hou Weimin estimated that the snake could be sold for more than four yuan!

"make a deal!"

The boss blurted out the next second, and then handed the cage to Hou Weimin, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.

"...".

艹~

Too much to say!

Hou Weimin took out two dollars, picked up the cage, and walked away quickly.

Looking at Hou Weimin's back as he left, the boss weighed the two dollars in his hand with a look of surprise on his face.

: Young! In order to sell me this snake at a high price, the hunter even lied that it was seriously injured the night before and would recover the next day!

The boss shook his head and happily put the money into his pocket.

……

"Wei Min, what are you carrying?"

Yan Bugui, who was drinking tea at the door, saw Hou Weimin carrying the cage.

"Nothing, I just bought a bird cage and plan to raise a bird soon. Uncle, you seem to be in a good mood~"

Hou Weimin changed the subject.

"Qin Huairu gave me 70 yuan as compensation. I plan to go buy some bicycle parts tomorrow and ask someone at a repair shop to secretly build me a bicycle."

Yan Bugui had bought second-hand bicycles before, but this time he didn't even want to buy a second-hand bicycle. He directly asked the repair shop to buy parts and build him a bicycle.

After hearing Yan Bugui's idea, Hou Weimin remained silent.

He also guessed that it must be Qin Huairu who successfully got the gold ring from Jia Zhang's hand and sold it.

"That's a bargain. The old man is really calculating~"

"Humph~"

Yan Bugui acted very proud.

He believed that he would never be poor if he had enough food and clothes, and would not plan on being poor for the rest of his life. He thought Hou Weimin was praising him when he said this.

"Wei Min! You are not young anymore, you even have a wife, and you will have to have children and raise them in the future, which is a huge expense! You should buy less of these toys~"

Looking at the thing covered with black cloth, which looked like a bird cage, Yan Bugui also lectured in style.

"I'm going back first as for what the Third Master taught me!"

Hou Weimin couldn't wait to go back and use the beastmaster's secret method to conclude a contract with the green snake.

"How can we stop the people from spending their money like this?"

Yan Bugui thought of the smell of meat coming from Hou Weimin's house every day, and shook his head while looking at the birdcage in his hand.

: If Hou Weimin continues to spend like this, how will he raise his children in the future?

After all, this is not a small expense.

When Yan Bugui was distracted, a shadow fell on him.

"Lao Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Haizhong limped to his side. Yan Bugui tried hard to suppress the gloating in his eyes and asked with concern.

"fine!"

Liu Haizhong said stiffly, then ignored Yan Bugui and limped straight into the courtyard.

"This Liu Haizhong must be crazy. His tone is so aggressive! His legs and feet are just not very flexible. Why is his face so dark?"

After Liu Haizhong walked away, Yan Bugui muttered to himself in surprise.

Another shadow fell on Yan Bugui at the door. Turning his head, Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai approaching him and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Old Yi! Why do you look so dark? What happened in your steel mill today?"

"fine!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking stiffly, he returned to his room.

Yan Bugui: ???

I drank some tea at the door and ran into Qin Huairu who was leaving the courtyard to go to the toilet.

"Qin Huairu, I just saw that Lao Yi and Lao Liu both looked very bad. What happened to them in your steel mill?"

After staring at Yan Bugui for a long time, Qin Huairu finally hesitated and said:

"I don't know either, but Hou Weimin has been successfully promoted to level 4 fitter!"
