Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

You should know that things that can benefit the human body neurologically are extremely expensive, both now and in the past.

Now that a tiny wild goose has so many benefits, how could he let it go? It's a pity that the wild geese in the old man's hands are dead. If they were alive, he would buy them even at a price.

He sighed in his heart and looked at the old man.

"Young man, if you want to buy it, it's one yuan per pound. What do you think?"

The old man smoked his pipe, puffed a few times, and then spoke.

"One yuan a pound, that's too expensive. Pork is only fifty cents a pound now! Are you crazy about money, old man?"

Zhou Tiankai did not speak. A woman who was picking peanuts next to the old man could not help but roll her eyes. Then she looked at Zhou Tiankai and kindly advised: "Young man, listen to my advice. You might as well buy pork with this money. Look at this bird. It only weighs a few pounds, and it's all lean meat. What a waste!"

This made the old man standing by feel a little depressed and even a little angry, but after all, he knew that what the old lady said was the truth, so he could only continue to look at Zhou Tian to see what he would say.

"Thank you, Auntie. But my second brother is back from school today, so I want to nourish him. I came to the Pigeon Market to buy some meat. Although wild geese don't have many pounds of meat, they are nutritious. Uncle, I want all the wild geese on your stall. Please calculate how much they cost. In addition, I don't know if you have any alive wild geese. If you do, I can buy a few at a high price."

Zhou Tian would naturally not be affected by the old lady's words, but he also knew that the old lady actually had good intentions, so he first explained a few words to her, and then spoke to the old man while the old lady looked at him as if he were a prodigal.

"Okay, okay! Young man, don't let me tell you that these wild geese of mine were just captured. In terms of nutrition, wild geese are more nutritious than old hens. Young man, you have good vision and know a lot. I won't ask for more from you. Okay, a total of 18 kilograms, young man, just give me 18 yuan. As for the live wild geese you want, it depends on luck!"

When the old man heard Zhou Tian say this, he immediately smiled and his wrinkles disappeared. He immediately borrowed a scale from a nearby stall owner, picked up the dead wild goose and started weighing it, saying as he weighed it.

After the weighing was completed, he picked up a tattered woven bag and handed the three wild geese to him.

"Well, sir, if you catch him alive, send him to No. 36 Mianhua Hutong. I live there!"

Zhou Tian took the woven bag handed over by the old man with a smile, and tied it to the seat without any disgust. Then he took out eighteen yuan and handed it to the old man, and then said something without giving up.

He also knew the habits of swan geese and was naturally aware that they were not easy to catch. Even if they were caught, it would be very difficult to keep them alive. So under normal circumstances, people would not catch them alive, but what if?

"Okay, young man, don't worry, as long as I catch him alive, I will definitely come to find you!"

The old man assured Zhou Tian.

"Okay, sir. I'll leave first then!"

After hearing the old man's assurance, Zhou Tian felt relieved and pushed the cart out of the crowd.

"Oh, what a prodigal son! I wonder whose child he is to waste money like this? If he were my son, I would break his legs if he dared to do this!"

After Zhou Tian left, the old lady who had just bought some peanuts also complained to the neighbors who came with her.

"Okay, Mr. Ji, you saw what he was wearing. It was a cadre uniform with many pockets. How could he be short of that little money?"

Although several women had some opinions about Zhou Tian's behavior just now, it had nothing to do with them in the final analysis. Moreover, they could tell from the young man's clothes that he was of extraordinary status, so naturally they would not express their opinions carelessly.

Zhou Tian left the pigeon market, so he naturally had no idea that his purchase of the wild geese had caused several women to have different opinions of him. However, even if he knew, he would have just smiled at most.

He had also lived a hard life and understood what these women were thinking, but now that his ideas and concepts had changed, he would definitely not do that deliberately anymore.

He rode his bike, with the fish, five pounds of pork, some vegetables, and the wild geese he had just bought placed on the back seat, and then he rode all the way back home.

When he pushed the car back to the yard, he saw his grandfather playing chess with his second brother in the front yard, while Zhou Zhiqiu, the third child, was surrounding them and giving them instructions.

"Grandpa, get out the car!"

"Uncle, you're walking like an elephant!"

"Dad, are you back?"

Although Zhou Zhiyi was watching her second uncle and great-grandfather playing chess, she was not interested in playing chess after all. She just didn't know what to do, so she was bored. When she heard the yard door open, she turned around and saw her father coming back. She immediately shouted happily and ran towards Zhou Tian.

"Dad, did you buy me something delicious?"

"Dad, there's me, there's me!"

"father!"

When Zhou Zhiqiu and Zhou Zhinan heard Zhou Zhiyi's shout, they immediately turned their heads. When they saw Zhou Zhiyi running towards his father, they naturally would not be negligent. They followed him to his father and shouted one after another.

"Okay, I get it. You three little greedy cats, as soon as I come back, you ask me for food. Why don't you ask your mom?"

Zhou Tian looked at his three children and couldn't help complaining, but he still habitually took out a few oranges from his pocket and gave one to each of them.

"Dad, mom won't give us what we want, and she even beats us!"

Perhaps because he heard his father's complaints, Zhou Zhiyi tilted his little head and said.

"So you guys are going to eat your dad?"

Zhou Tian gave a helpless smile, picked up the woven bag on the back seat, led the three little guys towards Grandpa and his second brother, threw the remaining two oranges to each of them and said, "Grandpa, second brother, I'm going to cook first. I'll have the little guys call you when the meal is ready!"

"Got it, go ahead, go ahead!"

Grandpa waved his hand without even raising his head. As for the second brother, he gave the eldest brother a bitter smile, obviously wanting to ask him for help. However, Zhou Tian just glanced at the second brother and turned into the backyard.

It's not that he was unwilling to help his second brother, but he knew very well that his grandfather's chess level was simply hard to describe, and he didn't want his grandfather to make him angry to death.

Unless my father-in-law comes back, after all, the chess playing levels of those two are equally matched.
