Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

Chapter 165: Saker Falcon, 5 levels of bird raising.

"Hey, mice have their own ways, and insects have their own ways. Otherwise, look at it now, can you see crickets in winter? If it is really the season, where can you see this scene? Tell me, what do you like? We will get it for you."

Zuo Yu smiled at Xu Dongsheng's innocent look, then went to a quiet corner with Xu Dongsheng and told him their plan, and told him directly that they could get it as long as he needed it.

"Really? Then I want the biggest Saker Falcon you mentioned. How about that?"

Xu Dongsheng listened to Zuo Yu's introduction and nodded. Thinking about the Saker Falcon that Zuo Yu emphasized at the end when he introduced the fighting birds, he guessed that Zuo Yu had some in stock, so he immediately expressed his thoughts. Although Xu Dongsheng didn't know how big the Saker Falcon was, he knew that it was a bird of prey. It would definitely be useful if he could raise it. When the time comes, he could take it to the mountains to check the situation. It would be like a drone.

"Saker Falcon? Hehe, you are just like me, you like the big ones. However, the Saker Falcon is a bird of prey, and when it fights, it fights in the sky. If you raise one, you will probably have to wait until next year to display it, and by then there may not be anyone who can fight with you. You also know that meat is hard to buy now. Saker Falcon is a carnivore. These days, there are few people who eat meat, and it is even harder to find a carnivore bird, don't you think?

The most crucial point is that the Saker Falcon fights in the sky. Second, the Saker Falcon fights big fights. Every fight is a big bet. If it is an open bet, one of the Saker Falcons will have its wings broken. Now think about it again. Are you sure you want a Saker Falcon?"

Zuo Yu was delighted when he heard Xu Dongsheng say that he wanted a Saker Falcon, but then he said to Xu Dongsheng in a serious tone that if he wanted a Saker Falcon, the result would be unpredictable.

"Oh? Then can I not fight with others and just keep it for fun?"

Xu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment. From what Zuo Yu meant, one of them had to die? This was necessary?

"Raising you for fun? That won't work. The reason we bring you in for free is for you to fight. You don't want to fight? That's just teasing me, isn't it?"

Hearing Xu Dongsheng say that he didn't want to fight, but just raise it for fun, Zuo Yu's face instantly turned bad. He said that their things were not given away for free, they were mainly raised for fighting. If you raise it for your own fun, wouldn't he be losing money?

"Uh, can I buy it?"

Xu Dongsheng also thought it made sense. If everyone took it to play with, wouldn't they lose a lot? They taught people the techniques of raising birds and insects, and gave them the capital, but in the end they had nothing? After thinking it through, Xu Dongsheng asked Zuo Yu if he could buy it.

"Buy? That's fine. I just happen to have a fully-feathered Saker Falcon in my hand. With its appearance and eyes, it will definitely be a good thing in the future. If you are sincere, ten dollars. And you can only find a way to learn how to raise it yourself. I will not be responsible for guiding you.

However, if you are really lucky and raise something good, and you feel like showing it off, you can tell me and I can arrange a fight for you."

Zuo Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Dongsheng say he would buy it. He didn't expect that someone would actually buy it for fun, but then he came to his senses and agreed to Xu Dongsheng's request for ten yuan. In fact, ten yuan was a loss for him, because once a big fight was launched, he would definitely make a fortune. But there were risks, because he might not be able to raise it. After all, it was quite difficult to raise a carnivorous bird.

Moreover, Zuo Yu also discovered Xu Dongsheng's temperament. Although he was dressed simply, among the people he had met, this temperament was definitely not something that ordinary people could have. He would definitely be the kind of person who could achieve great things in the future, and it would be good to make a good relationship with him.

"Okay, ten dollars is ten dollars."

Seeing Zuo Yu's painful expression, Xu Dongsheng also felt that ten yuan might be quite high, so he agreed immediately. Anyway, the money he earned today was enough.

Sure enough, the transaction was repeated. It took so long to complete.

"Give me the money, and I'll bring it to you before you leave."

Seeing that Xu Dongsheng agreed, Zuo Yu did not hesitate and asked Xu Dongsheng to pay. Unexpectedly, he asked Xu Dongsheng to pay first and then deliver the goods. However, Xu Dongsheng did not care. After all, if he refused to pay, he would not be able to stay in this circle and would also be punished by Xu Dongsheng.

Zuo Yu saw Xu Dongsheng gave the money readily. He didn't expect that this first-time visitor would trust him so much. After all, ten yuan was not a small amount. However, he quickly took the money from Xu Dongsheng, told Xu Dongsheng to wait, and then went to the room on the left.

Seeing Zuo Yu leave, Xu Dongsheng didn't hesitate and just waited, and then continued to watch the game, because this also involved the five yuan bet he and Xiao Yitu had placed. If he won, he would have won seventeen yuan today. In the end, the five yuan was wasted, it was really just luck.

"Okay, that's all for today, let's go, everyone. No matter who's coming in or out, drink less alcohol when eating. It's so cold, it can really freeze you to death."

The round just now was the last one. After it ended, today's affairs were over. The host Luo Guikui also announced that today's affairs were over. Then he gave a few instructions to the people present, and everyone started to pack up and leave.

Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu went out together. At this time, Zuo Yu also arrived with a small box in his hand. The box was made of fur. Xu Dongsheng knew at a glance that the box and the bird would cost fifteen yuan. Sure enough, Zuo Yu did not give a high price. No wonder the pain in Zuo Yu's eyes did not seem fake.

Xu Dongsheng stuffed the box into his clothes and covered it, and then the two of them left Luo's house together.

"Dongsheng boy, what's up? Are you also planning to join our business?"

When Xiao Yitu saw Xu Dongsheng getting the leather box from Zuo Yu, he knew that Xu Dongsheng was hooked, but he didn't try to persuade him because it was all personal wish and he also liked to play. If he had the energy now, he would have wanted to raise crickets again.

However, just as Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu pushed their bicycles out of the yard, a fat man in his fifties wearing a black cotton jacket came up to them and spoke to Xu Dongsheng with a smile.

"No, Master Niu, I'm just planning to raise it for fun. I'm not planning to raise it for fighting."

Xu Dongsheng looked at Uncle Niu, who was a carpenter with good skills. He made antique furniture. His family was rich and his words were influential in Chaoyangmen. His words were trusted by everyone, so Xiao Yitu introduced the two to Xu Dongsheng.

After meeting Xu Dongsheng, although Niu Ye always looked superior, he told Xu Dongsheng that if he needed help, he would help without hesitation. With Lao Xiao's introduction, Xu Dongsheng felt that this person was not bad and could make many friends. Moreover, in the cricket fighting game later, Xu Dongsheng also saw some qualities of Niu Ye. At least he didn't see his expression change even though he lost more than 20 yuan in a row.

"Raise them for fun. I guess Zuo Yu didn't give you any advice. So I'll teach you two tricks. Raising birds mainly involves five levels. The first is the cage. You have to choose a suitable cage so that the bird can live comfortably. The second is the feed. The bird eats the feed. If the feed is not good, the bird will not be good either.

The third level is management. Raising birds is like raising a son. The environment must be good. Before they start fighting, they cannot be raised together with other birds. To nourish their blood and qi, dead birds must be used, not live ones. The last level is disease prevention. We must achieve "two earlys", that is, early prevention and early treatment."

Upon hearing that Xu Dongsheng was raising the birds for fun, he immediately smiled and shared his experience with Xu Dongsheng. However, Xu Dongsheng was an expert in taming animals. He could tame not only chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, but also other livestock and poultry. If he raised these birds, wouldn't they be poultry?

So, naturally there is no problem, but it is Xu Dongsheng's first time to raise one, so it is estimated that it will take a few days longer than raising mice.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Mr. Niu would like this? Have you ever raised one before?"

Xu Dongsheng did not refuse Niu Ye's kindness, and then spoke to Niu Ye with a smile.

"No, I also liked to play with birds when I was young, but later I ran out of money and couldn't afford to keep them. Now I understand. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to No. 31 Huijiang Hutong to find me."

Niu Ye nodded and said that he had indeed played it before, but stopped later because of money. Finally, he told Xu Dongsheng that he could come to him if he had any problems.

"Thank you, Master Niu. If I have any questions, I will definitely come to visit you. Please don't blame me for bothering you."

Xu Dongsheng nodded, then talked to Niu Ye. Seeing that Xu Dongsheng remembered it, Niu Ye left immediately, leaving Xu Dongsheng and Xiao Yitu behind.

"Let's go to the Daqianmen Tavern today. The wine in this tavern is not bad, and the pickled vegetables there are also excellent."

After seeing off Master Niu, Xiao Yitu immediately told Xu Dongsheng that they would go to the tavern for dinner tonight. Xu Dongsheng did not object, after all, eating anywhere was eating, and not only did Xu Dongsheng make money today, he also got a baby Saker Falcon.
