Shen Wan turned to look at Zhou Xu and frowned: "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"
Zhou Xu coughed lightly, and then whispered in his ear: "Did you forget that we were missing just now?"
When Shen Wan heard this, his heart moved. One of the five things he didn't see was [stains of insect wing plaster].
The so-called plaster marks actually mean ink marks on the wings of insects.
Shen Wan looked at the insect in front of him again, and sure enough, there were ink marks on it.
Normally in this situation, Shen Wan would never choose this insect.
But now it seems that Zhou Xu means to let him buy this one.
He looked at the insect carefully again.
I saw that the insect's fur was purple, its face was painted, and its forehead was wide, which was different from others.
There are ink marks on the wings, but the ends of the wings show spiral patterns.
Big knife, white teeth and white wax legs.
hiss……
Just looking at the bugs, they are indeed alien species among bugs!
Shen Wan suddenly became excited.
Zhou Xu just said that the criteria for distinguishing whether the alien king insect is resistant to fighting by the five invisible insects are, firstly, whether it is a southern insect or a northern insect, and secondly, whether the characteristics of the five invisible insects are obvious or not.
If it is a southern worm, then no matter which of the five worms it is attached to, the worm will be useless.
But if it is Bei Chong, then there are two different things.
If it is a northern insect, if those five points are not obvious, then this insect is more ferocious than ordinary alien species.
Shen Wan had made up his mind and decided to look at the [Eight Defeats] according to the standard.
Sure enough, although there were traces of plaster on the insect's wings, the color was not dark and not obvious.
Seeing this, he got excited and asked the young man selling worms: "Insect seller, where did you catch this worm?"
The young man said: "I caught this specially from Ningqing Mountain in Shandong Province, just to earn some money for me to marry Cui'e from our village!"
"Northern Worm..."
A burst of happiness rushed straight to his forehead, almost making Shen Wan faint.
"I want both your worm and your gourd. I'll pay you two hundred taels!" Shen Wan didn't care about anything else anymore and directly made the price.
I thought this number was already huge.
Unexpectedly, the young man sneered and said: "Two hundred taels? You want to buy this insect from me for two hundred taels? Master, do you know that if I go to the insect fighting hall, I can rely on this [Eight Defeats and Long Tips] all afternoon? Wings] Earn more than a hundred taels!"
Shen Wan was anxious: "Then how much did you say?"
The young man looked at him, but did not reply. Instead, he carefully put the insect into the gourd, and then said to Shen Wan, "I won't sell it!"
The people around him let out a cry of regret.
"Little brother, two hundred taels, this money can not only marry Cui'e, but also Lu'e and Hong'e. Don't be stupid!"
"That's right, what kind of insect can be sold for two hundred taels, but you boy don't care about others!"
"If you ask me, young man, just sell it to Mr. Shen. There is no shop like this after passing this village!"
…
Seeing that everyone was speaking for him, Shen Wan added, "I'll give you five hundred taels, and you sell it to me."
After saying this, he was sure that the young man selling insects must have been tempted this time.
When everyone heard that the price had been increased to five hundred taels, they all advised the young man selling insects: "Young man, sell it quickly. Ouch, I feel sorry if you don't sell it!"
"Young man, what are you waiting for? Five hundred taels. I wonder if you can earn five hundred taels in your lifetime!"
"Young man..."
Shen Wan rubbed the jade pendant around his waist and looked at the young man with a smile, ready to hear the words that would make him get what he wanted.
Unexpectedly, the young man snorted coldly and said: "What do you know? This insect is not an ordinary insect. I expect it to make a lot of money for me. I won't sell it unless I sell it. I won't sell it at all!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
I thought Shen Wan was a fool who took advantage of him, but I didn't expect this young man to be even more foolish.
Someone asked out of curiosity: "How much money do you plan to make, you bug?"
The young man said: "Five thousand taels!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of curses from around him.
"This kid has lost his mind and gone crazy. Five thousand taels? A broken insect?"
"Five thousand taels? Only a fool would buy it! This guy won't sell it if he doesn't want to sell it. He quoted a price blindly. Who is disgusting?"
"Hey, if you miss five hundred taels, this young man will regret it for the rest of his life!"
While everyone was talking, Shen Wan was so angry that his face turned blue.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to follow the method taught by Zhou Xu to catch the first insect.
Just when he was hesitating whether to give up, Zhou Xu spoke at this time.
"Third Young Master, the counter-offer reaches four thousand taels, buy it!"
He whispered in Shen Wan's ear. Shen Wan was startled when he heard this and turned to look at Zhou Xu with questioning eyes.
Zhou Xu then whispered: "This insect is a winter insect. As long as it is raised properly, it can fight until the snow falls. By then, the young master will definitely be able to earn back the money, and there will be a profit!"
One sentence immediately made Shen Wan's heart flutter.
But at this time, something suddenly calmed him down.
When Shen Xuan found out about the last time she asked her mother for money to buy insects, she sued her father, Shen Han.
Shen Han took him over and beat him up, and he was not allowed to use money to buy insects again.
In other words, if it were three to five hundred taels, no one would find out if he took some of his mother's private money.
But if it's four to five thousand taels, then the account will definitely be stolen, and the account will be known to father and Shen Xuan, that bastard.
Seeing Shen Wan's hesitation, the young man selling insects stood up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Xu hurriedly comforted him: "Brother, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Wan aside and said, "Third Young Master, don't you believe me?"
Shen Wan wondered: "Brother Zhou, you don't know, my second brother and I, well, have a bit of a conflict. He has been really stuck on my recent money matters. Four or five thousand taels is not a small amount... "
Zhou Xu sighed when he heard this and said: "Yes, this amount is too big, and the third young master cannot be the head of the family. It is not like the second young master, where even a book friend can pay a thousand dollars to the Shen family's account at will." Eight hundred flowers difference!"
Zhou Xu and Shen Wan have been inseparable these days. He has already figured out the situation of the Shen family. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Shen Wan gritted his teeth and said: "Shen Xuan is a villain who is used to suppressing me at home. It's a pity that I can't deal with him. , otherwise sooner or later he will look good!"
Zhou Xu seemed to suddenly think of something at this time, and approached Shen Wan and said, "Third Young Master, I heard someone said that you are the biological son of our Mistress of the Shen family. You have no choice but to go to the madam?"
Shen Wan shook his head, frowned more tightly and said, "No, my mother will never agree to it after hearing that there is so much money."
Zhou Xu smiled and said: "Third Young Master, since you are favored by the Madam, wouldn't you imitate the Madam's handwriting and write a note to pay the money? After buying the bugs and making money, wouldn't it be enough to replenish the money?"
When Shen Wan heard this, his heart moved.
It was not difficult for him to copy his mother's handwriting, and it was not difficult to get his mother's seal to pay money. With the money payment note, the accountant would not dare to ask his mother where the money was spent.
In other words, as long as you pay back the four or five thousand taels before the end of the month, you will be safe!
Thinking of this, he turned around and asked Zhou Xu seriously: "Brother Zhou, are you sure you can make money from this insect?"
Zhou Xu patted his chest and said: "After I bought the worms, I went to the Bug Fighting Hall with the young master. If I lose, I will pay back the four thousand taels. If I win, the young master will find a place for me to be born. How about that?"
When Shen Wan heard this, he didn't have any hesitation. He patted Zhou Xu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if nothing else, as a county magistrate, I can still respond to you!"
