"Flower, bird, fish, and insect market? You can pick up scraps in this place?"
"What can you pick up in a place like this? Forgive my limited imagination."
"The chances of picking up a second-hand car are higher than this place.”
"When is Boss Lin going to Chaotian Palace? The market there was bigger and there were more good things.”
"I'll go if I have time," Lin Xiao said as he walked.”
He had been strolling around the Confucius Temple for two days, but he hadn't really finished.
With this, he directly pushed the Confucius Temple onto the trending searches.
Just the craze of picking up leftovers today would probably last for a while.
Therefore, he did not plan to continue picking up scraps here.
And just as the netizens said, Chaotian Palace Antique Market was bigger and had more things.
With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, he had already entered the market for flowers, birds, fish, and insects.
This place was the largest flower, bird, fish, and insect market in Jinling. Flowers, birds, ornamental fish, pets, cats, and dogs were all sold here…
Lin Xiao walked and stopped. He was not just picking up scraps.
He liked these things too. He went to see tropical fish, turtles, lizards, and pet snakes. It was really fun.
"Boss Lin, let's go somewhere else."
"To Chaotian Palace. This damn place is so boring.”
"I'm here to see you pick up scraps, not to see you shop!”
The netizens were bored and yawned.
Lin Xiao did not care about this and continued to stroll leisurely.
Soon, he arrived at the area where birds were sold.
Parrots, Macaques, Canaries…
There were all kinds of birds.
Lin Xiao had loved birds since he was young. He had raised parrots and myna before. At this moment, he could not even walk.
Just as he was enjoying himself, his eyes drifted and he was suddenly attracted by a birdcage hanging in the shop.
The birdcage wasn't big, about 40 centimeters tall, with a round dome and a rusted surface.
Although Lin Xiao did not have much experience with birdcages, he now had knowledge of many types of cultural relics. He had an inexplicable intuition about antiques.
His intuition told him that this birdcage was not ordinary.
Lin Xiao did not act too eye-catching. He pointed at the parrot in the cage and said,""Boss, how much is this budgie?”
"150 for a pair."
"So expensive?"
Lin Xiao clicked his tongue. He had raised one when he was young. At that time, it was only ten yuan each.
He's almost seventy or eighty now?
The price increase was a little scary.
The boss didn't say anything. Lin Xiao said," I want a pair, just these two…Do you have cages?"”
"Yes, there are all of them here.”
Lin Xiao picked and looked, then pointed at the rusted birdcage and asked,""This birdcage looks a little old."
The boss turned around and glanced at him. Suddenly, he was in the mood to talk. He smiled and said,"Don't look at this old thing. It's a good thing.”
"Good stuff? What do you mean?"
The boss said," In the past, there was an old man from Beijing who liked to fight crickets and raise birds. Later, he fell seriously ill and spent all his savings. He sold this birdcage to me." I didn't want it, but I've known him for a few years, so I accepted it. Can you guess how much this birdcage cost me?”
Lin Xiao was really curious.”
"I have to add a zero!" The boss shook his head.
"A thousand? So expensive?"
"Heh, we know each other. At that time, he had spent all his savings, so I wanted to help him. That was seven or eight years ago. A thousand yuan from seven or eight years ago was worth more than it was now!”
"Are you saying that he's from Beijing?" asked Lin Xiao. Why is someone from Beijing staying here?"
"Who knows, but that old man said he's a descendant of the Eight Banners, and his ancestor was a Baylor." He also said that this birdcage was used by Baylor and was an old object. He said that he would buy it back when he had the money, but he died of a serious illness not long after. Who knew if it was real or fake? It was rusted when I brought it to me, so I couldn't be bothered.”
"This birdcage does look quite old. It might really be a good thing." The antique market wasn't too far away, so why didn't he take it to someone else to take a look?”
"Why didn't you take it?" the boss asked. The key is that no one wants it. I won't sell it for more, but I'll have to buy it for 1,000 yuan, right? However, those street vendors would give me 200 yuan at most.”
Lin Xiao had yet to get his hands on it, so he did not know the exact situation of the birdcage. The main reason was that the birdcage was hanging too high and could not be touched.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao said," I think this birdcage is a good thing. How about this? I want this birdcage. How much is it?"”
"Think carefully," the boss said,"I won't refund you after you pay."”
"That's for sure."
"Then 1,000 yuan it is. That's all I can buy.”
"Alright." Lin Xiao nodded and said,"Take it off."”
"The bird is in this cage?"”
"Change the cage. This cage is so rusted. Don't let the birds peck it apart.”
"Alright."
The boss first put the bird into a cage, then took down the cage and placed it on the ground.
It was obvious that the birdcage had been there for a long time. There were spider webs on it and a thick layer of dust had fallen on it.
