The northwest corner is a world of live fish, mixed with chili sauce, daily necessities, steamed buns and pot stickers, freshly killed live chickens, noodles, all kinds of raw and cooked meats, seasonings and so on.
It was almost noon, and the sun was extremely bright. The higher and higher temperature reflected through the blouse made the body feel hot. I touched my hair and face with my hands. They were as hot as a fire.
The first person who couldn't bear the scorching heat was Susie. She hid in Liu Qingshan's arms and kept urging her to leave. She even heard the dog barking.
Liu Qingshan patiently explained to her: "I can only blame your mother. She almost squats down to ask for a long time when she sees something she has never seen before. She doesn't speak our Chinese. If our Susie learns it when she grows up, Can I be a translator next to her in Hua Guohua, so that I won’t waste so much time?”
"Yes, yes, I want to learn Chinese so that I can be a translator for my mother in the future!" Susie seemed to have forgotten the heat all of a sudden.
In fact, Liu Qingshan quietly laid a layer of Qi on her body. Such a young child didn't know about this abnormality, and maybe she thought there was a cool breeze around.
"It's not just Chinese. Master holds you here and cannot leave, just to protect the safety of your mother and others. Otherwise, there are so many people, what will happen if they get lost? What should they do if they encounter bad people? You can also learn Kung Fu from Master in the future. You have to work hard and protect your parents by yourself when you grow up, remember?"
"Yes, if Susie is powerful, she can protect her parents, as well as her master, master's wife, grandpa, grandma, seventh aunt, sixth aunt..."
Liu Qingshan promptly interrupted the little girl who was breaking her fingers: "So we can't leave now, right?"
Susie was nodding her head when An Minhe came over: "It's not a problem for us to wait here all the time. These girls are heartless. Don't you know how hard it is for us to stand under the sun and wait for them? "
"Dad, you're not good. You've said bad words. I'll tell grandpa when I get back!" Susie listened from the side and became unhappy.
An Minhe rolled his eyes at his daughter: "Even if you want to sue, you will have to wait until the Chinese New Year. Not only will you not be able to see your grandpa, but you will not be able to see your parents in the next few months!"
"How many days are in a few months?"
"Four months means more than a hundred days. Tsk tsk, how about more than a hundred days? Is Susie scared?"
In fact, Susie can't figure it out clearly at such a young age, so her psychological pressure is almost nonexistent: "More than a hundred days, it seems like a lot! But I won't be afraid, they are all big children." , and I have Master and a dog accompanying me!”
Liu Qingshan was not annoyed because he was compared with a dog: "You still have to tell dad what you have to learn in so many days."
"Yes, I'm very busy. I have to learn Chinese and Kung Fu! Master, is it true that when I can go back, dad won't be able to beat me?"
"Mom and dad can't beat you, but you didn't learn kung fu just to fight. Tell me, dad, what are you going to use it for?"
"Protect mom and dad, don't let bad people bully you."
"anything else?"
"Also, there is also master, master wife, grandpa..."
"I'm not telling you to talk about these people. We practice martial arts to improve our own health. Only by having a good body can we protect other people, right?"
"Yes, yes, you can still catch up with dogs if you are in good health. Our neighbor's brother Minho is the funniest. He has a big wolfdog at home, but every time he goes out to walk the dog, others say that the dog is chasing him. Some people say that the dog is chasing him. One day I even saw him being carried by a dog and running on the ground, it was so funny to me!"
Liu Qingshan was stunned by the child's imagination, and her father's face turned red because he was suppressing laughter.
More than an hour passed before a few women squeezed out of the crowd with unsatisfied expressions on their faces. They each held convenience bags in their hands and raised their bags to show off to the men who had been waiting for them from a distance.
The funniest one is Li Eunmi, who is holding a cardboard box in her other hand. The simple packaging can be seen inside at a glance.
Liu Qingshan asked subconsciously: "Sister Enmei, why are you buying a copper hot pot here?"
Li Enmei said excitedly: "The hotpot in Kyoto is so delicious. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it again when I go back. I just happened to see this hot pot! Although it's dirty, it's an antique. It's said to be from the Ming Dynasty. It's so far away It’s still hundreds of years ago!”
Liu Qingshan's eyes were full of weirdness: "Sister, would you like to learn some history? Although this way of eating has been around as early as the Yuan Dynasty, it was the Qing Dynasty that really made hot-pot shabu-shabu popular, which was only a hundred years ago. Year, Ming Dynasty copper stove hotpot? Has this hotpot traveled through time?"
Li Eunmei was stunned, and An Minhe who was next to her hurriedly smoothed things over: "It doesn't prove that it didn't exist before it became popular! I think the hot pot is good. Since it is an antique, it cost a lot of money, right?"
Seemingly feeling that her husband's words were more reasonable, Li Enmei immediately became happy again: "I picked up a big leak. The man asked for 30,000 yuan. I discovered that the plate and chimney of the copper stove were installed later. I threw him 8,000 yuan, hugged him and left! Hahaha, that man looked so angry."
Liu Qingshan struggled to suppress the smile in his heart, because he saw An Minhe's face full of ecstasy at this time: "Baby, when did you secretly learn cultural relic appraisal? This saves more than 20,000 yuan." Where’s the money! It’s amazing, why didn’t I get this opportunity!”
"Really? I originally wanted to give him 10,000 yuan, but I only had this little cash on hand. By the way, I also bought a pair of jade bracelets from the Tang Dynasty, which cost me a full 60,000 yuan! But this This quality costs at least 300,000 yuan in the mall, and there was an old man next to me who was trying to rob me. Thanks to the fact that he didn’t have enough money on hand, he didn’t rob me!”
Liu Qingshan no longer wanted to listen. He was afraid that if he continued to listen, he would have a heart attack.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Jin Xishan came up to him mysteriously: "Shanzi, try to control your emotions, I don't want to be too high-profile! This is the Tang Sancai I got. What's the trick? I can't figure it out. The origin is not quite right, I only spent 12,000 yuan on old antiques!"
Liu Qingshan no longer wanted to stay here, and looked around with some despair, hoping that someone could save him.
Fan Shengyang appeared in time: "Master's wife, let me take a look at this thing!"
Jin Xishan secretly opened a corner of the bag, revealing a touch of brown glaze inside, "Don't look here, be careful there is something behind your back. I'll put it in your room for you for a few days!"
Liu Qingshan, who took the opportunity to squeeze out, was breathing a sigh of relief when he saw Kunal and several other Tianzhu people crowding over to watch.
I don't know where the evil fire came from, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Why are you idiots joining in the fun? Buy a dog quickly. Maybe you can meet an antique dog or something if you go early!"
Kunal was startled and quite confused. After seeing that Liu Qingshan had taken several steps, he whispered to Che Geng beside him and asked: "Animals can also be said to be antiques? What kind of dog can survive at least 10 years?" century?"
Liu Qingshan's ears were extraordinary. After hearing this, if he hadn't been holding a child in his arms, he might have staggered.
No wonder these women are brainless, even the apprentices around them are so clueless.
This large market is not so much a "dog market" as it is called a free market, but people just get the name and can't change it.
It is said that at the beginning, some animals were kept in captivity at nearby farmers' homes and sold. Gradually, a market for buying and selling dogs and other animals emerged.
The scale of the dog market was very small at first. On the side of the road, some sporadic dog lovers stopped and stayed on the side of the road when walking their dogs in the morning. They communicated with each other, exchanged or traded, and gradually formed a dog buying and selling market. Fixed time, fixed place.
Later, some people who raised other animals also set up stalls here one after another, buying and selling, and over time it became known as the "Dog Market".
Later, not only puppies, kittens, pigeons, some flowers, plants, ornamental fish, etc. entered the market, but also some small traders and vendors such as daily necessities, small household appliances, etc. came in, forming a large free market.
The place where Liu Qingshan and his party arrived was still the original street location, but that street was now closed to traffic and was completely included in the business scope of this market.
Only local old residents and stall owners know the entrance to this street, so you can choose to ride around the outer wall of the market and come directly here, saving a lot of time walking through the market.
The dog market is actually very big, covering more than 2 miles along the road. Every time it opens, it is a bustling and lively scene.
Ordinary small animals are not very expensive, most of them cost between 5 and 30 yuan. Pigeons, in particular, only cost 5 to 10 yuan each. It is estimated that many of the people who bought them ended up drinking pigeon soup when they went home.
If you have time to wander around here, you can indeed see a lot of things you have never seen before, which is very informative.
There are some famous dogs whose names have never even been heard of, and the prices are naturally very high. There are also those rare fish, birds, etc., which attract countless people. Most people usually just look at these things and never have the intention to buy them.
But the arrival of Liu Qingshan and his entourage let the market veterans know that a big customer might be coming. Leaving aside Liu Qingshan’s star status, as long as such well-dressed city dwellers appear here, they are basically Came here to buy a dog.
So a group of people immediately gathered around, speaking Mandarin with various accents, to solicit customers.
Some more savvy dog owners even have a thick photo album in their hands, which is full of photos of famous dogs.
Often these people are large professional breeders in the nearby counties. Basically, they can help you find sources for the varieties in the photos.
But it was Liu Qingshan who came today, and more importantly, he was accompanied by several dark, strong men with a height of two meters.
This also made it impossible for those people to get too close. Moreover, there were more people falling far behind this group of people. Looking at the dark formation in the distance, they were probably local snakes who couldn't figure out where they were coming from. I don't dare to step forward easily.
