Chapter 652 One-legged General
"Excuse me, old man, do you know much about crickets???" Shen Changle stepped forward and asked the old man warmly.

The old man turned around and saw Shen Changle, and said with a modest smile: "I don't know much. When I was young, my peers at home loved to play, so I followed suit. Now that I am older, I can't catch it by myself, and I don't have the money to spare." , just to watch other people having fun.”

Shen Changle raised her eyebrows and said: "My peers in the family love... Are you always in the flag?"

"Ah, it's in the flag. My ancestors were inlaid with yellow flags." The old man nodded with a smile.

"I'll go, your ancestor is the highest among the three banners." Guo Qilin said in surprise.

"Hey, let me just say it casually. Under what flag, you go out to buy buns and they won't give you a [-]% discount, right? They are ordinary people now. What's the matter, young man, what do you want from me?" The old lady waved He waved his hands modestly.

In the Manchu dynasty culture, including TV dramas and movies, the nobles of the Eight Banners are a topic that can never be avoided, and in fact, there is a chain of contempt even among the nobles of the Eight Banners.

Among the Eight Banners, Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhengbai Banner, Zhenghong Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner and Xianghong Banner.

The first three banners are commanded by the emperor himself. They are the upper three banners, among which the inlaid yellow banner is the most respected, while the remaining five lower banners are headed by the Zhenghong banner.

Wasn’t there a video of a Zhenghuangqi aunt in Kyoto circulated on the Internet before? The old lady had a little quarrel with someone on the bus and threatened that she was a native of Kyoto. beggar.

In fact, anyone who knows a little about Manchu culture knows what this old lady means. To put it bluntly, it is not.

People's Tongtian patterns are all on the palm of their hands, and it is not known whether this old lady has a genetic mutation, or if she wanted to be related to Erlang God, she got it on the head of the very willful long forehead.

As for the flag, the old lady probably thought that the emperor was wearing Zhenghuang clothes, so she misunderstood that the Zhenghuang flag is the best, and the Zheng (zheng) sound here is not a lifetime.

So I have to say that it is important to read more books and learn knowledge. If you don’t have a few taels of ink in your stomach, you just don’t do business and just brag B, then you are a younger brother.

In fact, people with real status are low-key on the contrary. Those who mislead the words of old Kyoto people, rich people, and famous ladies are those who can pretend to be nothing.

Shen Changle smiled and pointed to himself and Guo Qilin who was beside him and said, "It's such an old man, we have some spare money, and we want to buy two more powerful crickets for a total of 2000 yuan."

"But you should be able to see that neither of us will pick this thing. Do you think you can help us? This is a box of Zhonghua cigarettes. Don't dislike it. Just treat it as our filial piety to you. What do you think?"

"Old man, to be honest, I don't know much about it. If the two young men can trust me, I'll just pick two for you. Forget about the smoke. You're welcome to do a little favor." The old man suddenly nodded and agreed, but the smoke But it was pushed back by Shen Changle.

"Hey old man, please keep it carefully. We bought this cigarette specially for you. Neither of us smokes. If you don't accept it, it's a waste for us to keep it." Guo Qilin also hurriedly echoed.

After the two persuaded for a long time, the old man put the cigarette into his pocket with some embarrassment and said, "Okay, then thank you two young men, don't say old man, I haven't smoked such a good cigarette for several years, say Too hypocritical, go for a walk and I will choose two good crickets for you two."

Shen Changle and Guo Qilin looked at each other, followed the old man and walked forward.

"Hey Brother Changle, how do you know that this old man understands crickets?" Guo Qilin asked Shen Changle curiously.

"Hey, don't you know what is Shaolin Temple Sweeping Monk? This old man has followed the shop for three or four hours, and he doesn't look like an ordinary tourist. At that time, I was 80.00% sure that this old man was not simple. .” Shen Changle said with a slight smile.

"80.00%... If it happens to be the 20.00% probability, this old man doesn't understand crickets, so wouldn't the smoke be in vain?" Guo Qilin said.

Shen Changle smiled and said: "Then it's a waste of money, it's a waste of time, and I won't suffer if you pay for the cigarettes."

Guo Qilin: "You are really that..." (ー_ー)!!
The old man led the two of them around, walked to a small shop that didn't look very high-end, and said with a smile: "Boss Li brought you two big customers, and the business is more than [-] yuan."

"Yo, why don't you just call me for business, you two, just take a look, this row over here is full of good crickets, all of them are very good." The boss looked up at Shen Changle and Guo Qilin and smiled. road.

"Boss, what's the price?" Guo Qilin lowered his head, picked up a box and asked.

"Hey, you two, first look at the cricket that is pleasing to the eye. If you like it, let's talk about the price if you see it right. For the sake of the old man, I will definitely give you the lowest price." The boss said.

Shen Changle and Guo Qilin nodded, and then carefully selected among the boxes.

However, for two people who have never been in contact with crickets before, it is as difficult to pick a special one among a crowd of crickets with similar colors and shapes, as difficult as finding differences in a plastic surgery hospital.

The old man saw that the two had been choosing for a long time, and his choice phobia was about to attack, so he stopped watching and took out two from a row of cricket boxes and said: "If you don't know how to choose, you can consider taking this two."

"The one on the left should be called Zhenghong Butterfly Beard in our language. You can see that these two beards got their name because of their strong body, big head, big teeth, and great strength."

"The one on the right is a one-legged cricket. As the name suggests, one of its legs is disabled, but this cricket's teeth are really big enough, and it's more ruthless than that one. Especially this cry, I'm far from it. I heard it from a long distance, and the louder the cry, the more aggressive the cricket is, and it’s ferocious enough.”

"Oh? Hey, that's true. This one is missing a leg, but it looks alive and well."

"This one doesn't look bad, it's a bit bigger than the others as a whole."

"Brother Chang Le, let's just have these two. You choose one first, and I will keep the other one." Guo Qilin looked at Shen Changle and smiled.

Shen Changle nodded, stretched out his hand and hesitantly circled it to the left and right, and he still couldn't make a decision after a long while.

Suddenly Shen Changle raised his head and looked at Guo Qilin beside him, thinking of the poisonous milk attribute that Guo Qilin was optimistic about that cricket before, and said, "Which one of these two do you think is better, Da Linzi?"

"Eh, I think it's a butterfly beard. Although the tooth on the right is big, but I'm missing a leg, I always feel that I can't beat someone with healthy limbs." Guo Qilin thought for a while.

"It's decided, then I'm going to lose a leg!" Shen Changle understood, and immediately made a decision.
