Chapter 198 Really...really Back!
Chapter 198 Really come back!
There are many beautiful birds, all kinds, but there are only a few that Jiang Hao can name. The most attractive one is the parrot with colorful feathers.
In a parrot booth, Jiang Hao asked about the price. The boss looked at Jiang Hao and introduced him one by one. The blue and gold macaw was 10,000, the red and green macaw was 20,000, the colorful macaw was 60,000, and there were also some miniature macaws. Very few are below 5,000.
Jiang Hao was also surprised that a bird was so expensive.
You can't even play with birds.
The boss also boasted to Jiang Hao, "Brother, have you seen a cartoon, Rio Adventure, the blue parrot in it, the scientific name is 'Spikes Macaw', also known as the purple-blue macaw. The largest of the macaw family has become extinct in the wild, and there are only captive-bred ones left, and in the whole of China, it is estimated that there are less than ten, and the price, huh, 300,000."
"Look at my colorful macaw, which is also the top of the macaw. You can't have more than 5 in the entire market."
The boss said this set of rhetoric, and I don't know how many customers have told it. I have to say that this colorful macaw is really beautiful, but Jiang Hao doesn't think there is any point in spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy a bird.
And sometimes parrots are noisy.
Jiang Hao continued to walk around the bird market, and finally stopped at a booth. An old man in his fifties was making bird cages with a flower mirror. There were many bird cages hanging behind him. All have birds.
Jiang Hao asked curiously, "Master, what kind of birds are there?"
The uncle raised his head slightly, looked at Jiang Hao with his eyes in the space above the flower mirror, and said, "There are all kinds of birds, thrush, Bailing, Baiyan, Canary, Huang Qiaoer, Jade Bird, Baiwen, Qicaiwen, Ten sisters, Pearl, pick what you like."
"What kind of bird sounds the best?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Then there will be hundreds of birds." The uncle said, pointing to several of the bird cages.
Jiang Hao looked at it and found that it was a little bird with brown and yellow feathers. It looked similar to a sparrow, but a little bigger.
"How much is a lark?" Jiang Hao asked.
"It depends on the 'calling mouth'. An ordinary adult bird costs about one or two hundred yuan. If it can make various calls, the price will naturally be high. If it is a lark that can know thirteen sets, you can buy a few Thousands."
"What are thirteen sets?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.
"There are thirteen kinds of calls, similar to ventriloquism. There are thirteen kinds of calls, such as cat meowing, dog barking, grasshopper cries, magpies welcoming the spring, swallows whispering, hens reporting eggs, and eagles roaring."
Jiang Hao was a little confused, "Who invented this."
"Haha, the playboys of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At that time, they had nothing to eat and drink. They carried cages, birds, eagles, and dogs all day long, and their minds were all devoted to this." The old man said with a smile.
Jiang Hao thought for a while, "Master, then give me this lark, how much is it." Jiang Hao pointed to one of them and said the most pleasing to the eye.
The uncle looked at it, "Bird, 150."
This price is completely acceptable to Jiang Hao. He took out 150 and handed it to the uncle. After the uncle took the money, he asked, "Do you want a cage?"
Jiang Hao was stunned, "I bought a bird and don't have a cage yet, this is not a set."
The uncle laughed, "Of course it's not a set, I just said, the bird, 150, the cage, just count."
"How much is that cage?"
"There are good ones and cheap ones, the cheap ones are three or four hundred, and the expensive ones are three thousand and five thousand. You can choose it yourself, but the cheap ones are taken out and shamed, and slip away with the bird-playing, hang the cage there, and immediately See you." The old man said.
Jiang Hao's eyes widened, birds are not expensive, and this cage is not cheap.
"Master, I can see it. You are mainly selling cages, and birds are supporting products."
The old man laughed, "My cages are famous in Binhai, and everyone who plays with birds knows it."
Looking at the simple and honest smile of the old man, Jiang Hao felt like he was falling into a pit.
"I don't want a cage." Jiang Hao said.
"Then how do you play? If you grab your hand, you will be dead in a long time." The old man asked Jiang Hao in surprise.
"I'll let it fly freely, okay?"
"Release, yes, do you love nature? This uncle understands. I support you. Young people should love nature." The old man said with a smile.
"Then you are catching it and selling it." Jiang Hao said angrily.
The smile on the old man's face deepened, "This is called biological circulation. You haven't seen those who released raw fish, and they released fish upstream to catch them downstream. This is called playing with each other."
Jiang Hao opened the bird cage and put his hand in. The old man just looked at him with such a smile. The old man was someone who had played with birds all his life, so he naturally knew that Jiang Hao was just fooling around.
The lark fluttered in the cage in fright at first. Later, Jiang Hao activated the animal communication ability. The lark seemed to sense something and became quiet.
Jiang Hao said, "Come on, jump on my hand."
The lark jumped twice on the wooden stick, and it actually jumped into Jiang Hao's hands. The old man's eyes instantly widened. That's fine.
Jiang Hao stroked the lark in his palm and communicated with her at the same time. This is an adult lark, which was caught in the wild not long ago. It was domesticated for a few days and then sold.
Jiang Hao knew that he was tricked by the old man again. It is said that wild birds like this are very hard-tempered and difficult to raise. They are used to the free world and don't like small cages.
Moreover, this kind of wild bird is not as obedient as the hatched bird. Apart from its own call, it is difficult to teach them to learn other calls. A bird like this is estimated to be worth thirty or fifty dollars.
Jiang Hao slowly comforted her, sent her his own message, and told her to follow him, that there would be no more danger in the future, and that he could live freely, and would not be locked in a small cage again.
This little lark received Jiang Hao's message, and it suddenly became a lot more lively, with a crisp cry from its mouth, not to mention, this little guy's cry is really nice.
Jiang Hao took the lark out of the cage and slowly opened his hand. The old man immediately reminded him when he saw it, "Hey, young man, as soon as you let go, you will really fly."
Jiang Hao ignored the old man, opened his hand, and the lark suddenly fluttered its wings and flew away. The lark's flying speed was very slow, and it went straight to the sky.
The old man looked at the flying lark and shook his head, "You've spent a hundred and fifty dollars, so it's rare."
Jiang Hao smiled lightly, "Not necessarily."
"Why, you still think that it will fly back to find you, impossible boy, that is a wild lark, and it will not fly back after flying away." The old man said with a smile.
But just as the old man's voice fell, a small figure flew over from a distance and landed directly on Jiang Hao's shoulder, with a cheerful chirping from his mouth, still jumping on Jiang Hao's shoulder with a look of joy .
The old man's eyes widened when he saw this scene, "Really, I'm back!"
