Urban Cultivation

The antique market in T City is in an old alley next to the Town God's Temple. When Lin Xiang was in college, he often went to the Town God's Temple to distribute leaflets, and occasionally bought some snacks for tooth-making sacrifices. He once visited here out of curiosity.It is said to be an antique market, but it is just an alley with street stalls from the beginning to the end. Later, it developed to a few shops along the street, and later, the Town God's Temple developed into a tourist attraction. This old alley was renamed Antique Street. It has developed, and now it has become a famous antique market in T City.There are also miscellaneous things here, only what you can't think of, there is nothing you can't see, pottery, jade, wood carvings and bronzes, or ancient coins calligraphy and painting, ask a stall owner, even if he doesn't have it here, just take two steps Can find a seller.

Lin Xiang hugged Dahei and got off the bus. It was still early and there were not many people. Walking through the old alley, Lin Xiang always felt a damp and dirty smell rushing his nose.

"Dahei, what's going on?"

Dahei lay lazily in Lin Xiang's arms, and only meowed twice, "It smells like this, which means there are real products here. It's not a loss to come here."

"Oh."

Lin Xiang nodded half understanding, pinched Dahei's ears, he didn't understand why Dahei said that, but since this divine beast was so sure, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

At the end of the alley, he saw a row of street stalls. Lin Xiang looked over one by one, paying attention to Dahei's reaction, and it turned out that Dahei seemed to be asleep and didn't move.Didn't you say there are genuine products?

After walking more than half of a street, Lin Xiang stopped in front of a stall and frowned, it was here, the smell just now seemed to come from this stall.The big black ears moved, raised their paws, and seemed to be refreshed.

An old-fashioned gramophone, next to a row of badges of Chairman M, scattered around the badges are a few chipped clay pots, porcelain bowls, and a few rusty ancient coins. The stall owner is wearing antique clothes He is wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, wearing a round frame of sunglasses, and sitting on a small book. He is more like a fortune teller than an antique dealer. Lin Xiang blinked, thinking it was against the law.

Dahei patted Lin Xiang's arm, jumped out of Lin Xiang's arms, landed lightly on the ground, walked around the stall for two steps, walked to a broken porcelain bowl and squatted down, meowing Twice.

Lin Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he took a look at the bowl. It was white glazed, with a wide mouth and a deep belly. The bottom of the bowl was circled. There seemed to be patterns engraved on the wall of the bowl. The whole bowl was covered with thick dust, and the patterns were not there. It was very clear. Lin Xiang held the bowl and looked at it for a while, but the stall owner just raised his eyes and didn't even say a word.

Dahei walked around to Lin Xiang's feet and meowed a few more times, Lin Xiang nodded.The stall owner saw that Lin Xiang seemed interested, so he stretched out a hand. The sleeve was a bit long, covering the entire back of his hand. Lin Xiang had never heard of shaking hands with the seller when buying something, so he said directly: " Boss, how much is this?"

Got it...

Dahei raised his paw to cover his eyes, an expert would know if there was one as soon as he made a move, this kid opened his mouth to say this, obviously telling people that he is a rookie who can't be better at it, and he doesn't understand any market rules, come and slaughter He, there is absolutely no need to discuss it.

The stall owner withdrew his hand and raised his chin. Looking at this kid, he thought he was a knowledgeable person, but he didn't think so...

Coughing, he took out a plastic notebook from his cuff, wrote a number on it, and handed it to Lin Xiang.

After Lin Xiang saw the number clearly, he stared, "Killer?" !

Dahei grabbed Lin Xiang's pants and climbed onto Lin Xiang's shoulder, glanced at the number, and fell silent.

"So expensive? Cheaper!"

The corner of the stall owner's mouth twitched, did this kid buy cabbage at the vegetable market? !

Coughing, "Young man, this is a sweet white glazed bowl with engraved flowers and lotus petals in the Ming Dynasty! Did you know that such a bowl was at the auction..."

Lin Xiang waved his hand, "Don't talk about those useless things, just give me a real price."

The stall owner snatched the notebook from Lin Xiang's hand with a loud voice, "That's the price."

"It's not worth it, it's too expensive."

"Leave if you think it's too expensive!"

Lin Xiang squinted his eyes, "One price, 50! Just this gap bowl, [-] yuan can buy ten in the morning market! I don't know, now that the technology is so developed, anything can be sold as an antique when it is old. It was on TV a while ago..."

While chattering, Lin Xiang took out a 50 yuan note from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner, "Hey, I'm the most honest person, don't worry, I won't tell others that you are a fake."

The stall owner was almost ashamed by Lin Xiang, "I..."

As soon as I said the words, Dahei, who was lying on Lin Xiang's shoulder, suddenly shook his beard, a pair of golden vertical pupils fixed on the face of the stall owner, and let out a meow, the stall owner suddenly froze, his eyes became a little bit Dazed, he said involuntarily, "Okay, fifty is fifty, little brother is a real person, come again next time."

As soon as the words came out, the stall owner wished he could slap himself.Was he bewildered? !

Lin Xiang didn't care if the stall owner would smoke himself, he took out a plastic bag, put the bowl in it, carried the bowl with Dahei in his arms, and walked away.I wanted to continue shopping, but Dahei scratched Lin Xiang's neck lightly, "Let's take it when you see it, because if you are too greedy, you will become a debt."

"Success, you can leave as soon as you say."

Lin Xiang touched his pocket. To be honest, if he didn't know that Dahei would not lie to him, he would not have spent 50 yuan to buy such a broken bowl if he was killed.

At the entrance of the alley, Lin Xiang stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked behind him, then touched his nose, "It's strange..."

"what happened?"

"I always feel like someone is watching me."

"You're overreacting, go home quickly, I'm hungry, feed me that fish in the sink..."

"Aren't you not interested in it?"

"That was in the past, so that stupid fish wasn't enough to fit between my teeth, but now I have something..."

One person and one cat slowly walked out of the alley, and the sight that made Lin Xiang breathless just now disappeared.Lin Xiang smiled, thinking that he might be really nervous, but Dahei squinted his eyes, laying in Lin Xiang's arms, his golden pupils flashed with deep thought.

After all, Lin Xiang was not willing to let Dahei eat that copycat version of the German tricolor, and he planned to find a chance to sell this copycat fish to earn some extra money.With no job, he can't just sit and eat.

Passing by the vegetable market, I bought two crucian carp and a handful of shallots like cutting meat, planning to go back and cook crucian carp with green onions for Dahei.Passing by a stand selling radishes, Dahei asked Lin Xiang to pick some very "slim" white radishes.

"Dahei, do you want to eat this?"

"Stupid, that's for you to eat!"

"I can't eat these..."

Back home, Lin Xiang packed up the crucian carp and put it in the pot for Dahei. Dahei waited for Lin Xiang to come out of the kitchen, and directed Lin Xiang to clean the bowl from Antique Street. It was all washed away, only a few spots of kiln slag were left on the bottom of the bowl, and the inner and outer walls of the bowl were engraved with twig patterns, and a few lotus petals could be seen faintly, which made Lin Xiang amazed.

Dahei meowed impatiently, and asked Lin Xiang to dig some soil in the green belt, planted a white radish that he bought, and then poured some water. There was a drop of Lin Xiang's blood in the water. It has turned into a copycat version of the German tricolor, and the water in the bowl was not spilled much, Dahei asked Lin Xiang to keep the bowl of water, and now it just comes in handy.

After Lin Xiang finished his work, he sat on the sofa and looked at the half-planted white radish in the soil, "Using a bowl to grow radishes, I guess I'm the first in history..."

"There's no other way." Dahei jumped from the sofa to the table, circled around the bowl, and lay down on the side. "This bowl has spiritual energy, but it's incomparable to others."

"understood."

After the crucian carp was cooked, Lin Xiang couldn't eat it, so he sat down leisurely and picked fishbone for Dahei, watched Dahei take a bite of rice, crucian carp, and occasionally a scallion, Lin Xiang was sure, this is really not a fish Cat, if you eat fish, you still have to be picked on by others.

That night, Lin Xiang stayed up all night hungry again. Now that he had planted the radish, Da Hei didn't have the kindness to waste his spiritual energy on Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang was so hungry that he lay his body on the bed, Da Hei couldn't see , called Lin Xiang up, let Lin Xiang start to meditate.

"No strength..."

Lin Xiang protested twice, and was honest after a few paws from Dahei.Sitting cross-legged on the bed obediently, following Dahei's order, he adjusted his breathing, and slowly closed his eyes.After a while, he felt a wave of hot air rising from his lower abdomen, warm and warm, and the hunger that had tortured him just now to hit the wall began to weaken...

The expression on Lin Xiang's face slowly began to change. Dahei looked at it for a while, and stretched out his claws. Unexpectedly, this kid's roots are really good, and he can enter meditation so quickly just by building a foundation.

Dahei lay back on the bed, thinking of the breath he felt when he came out of the antique market just now, it might be a little troublesome, but it shouldn't be a big problem.
