"Daddy."
"Hmm?"
"Pipi is so smart!"
"Hmm."
"Daddy."
"Hmm??"
"Why is Pipi so smart?"
"Hmm..."
"Hehe!"
On the way to the temporary stall, the little girl's attention was firmly attracted by her new companion.
Pipi was very active, as if it was a prisoner who had just been released from prison and was expressing the joy of regaining freedom.
It jumped from the Bao'er's left shoulder to the right shoulder, and occasionally landed on the little girl's hand, chirping non-stop.
Along the way, it attracted the attention of many passersby.
This lively budgerigar undoubtedly brought the Bao'er more joy, freshness, and curiosity.
Although Teck was excellent as a companion, Pipi was incomparable to the former's eloquence.
And it was so smart that the little girl was surprised.
Zuo Yi felt that this fellow was a little too smart and talkative. If he had known, he would have fed it less of the Wisdom Spring Water. At most, a quarter of a drop would have been enough.
In fact, Zuo Yi reaped what he sowed. In addition to feeding Pipi the Spring Water of Life and the Wisdom Spring Water, he also gave it a spirit seed that contained common sense. Otherwise, it would not have known so much.
Zuo Yi did not expect the Wisdom Spring Water and the spirit seed to have such a powerful effect. It could forcibly transform a small budgerigar to such a level.
But what was done could not be undone, and the Bao'er was so happy, so he let nature take its course.
Following the directions of the market signs, Zuo Yi found the stall he rented, which was located in the C2 area, No. 157.
The Xixi Underground Market was mainly divided into two areas. About three-quarters of the area was for fixed shops, and the other quarter was for temporary stalls.
Although the area was much smaller, the temporary stalls were more popular than the shops. Many people deliberately came here to buy treasures, so it was very lively.
Of course, the situation here was much more complicated than the shops. When Zuo Yi brought the Bao'er over, he noticed that there were several "jackals" in the crowd, trying to trick the ignorant Xiao Bai.
One of them even had his eyes on Pipi, but after Zuo Yi glanced at him, he tactfully slipped away.
The management of the West Market was very strict. Surveillance cameras were everywhere, and security guards patrolled back and forth. So, although there were so many shops and so many people, the order inside was still very good. Ordinary people did not dare to break the law.
"Daddy..."
Bao'er asked excitedly, "Is this where we will set up our stall?"
"Yes."
Zuo Yi smiled and patted her head.
The location of the temporary stalls for 50 yuan per hour was not bad. There was a lot of traffic nearby, and the area of the stall was less than three square meters. Although it was small, it was enough for Zuo Yi.
The temporary stall also came with a display table and two stools. In addition, there were two lights that could be adjusted in height and angle from the crisscrossing metal trusses on the ceiling, providing considerable convenience for the stall owner and customers.
The stalls on the left and right were not close to each other. They were separated by a certain distance, just enough for one person to pass through.
It was still early, so Zuo Yi was not in a hurry to show the Inch Golden Sword. He first put the wooden box on the display table, then picked up the Bao'er and put her on the stool to let her rest.
"Are you tired from walking?"
Zuo Yi lovingly wiped the fine sweat on her forehead. "Rest for a while."
"I'm not tired!"
The little girl naughtily shook her head. "I'm not tired at all!"
"Not tired, not tired, not tired!"
The Pipi landed on her shoulder and shouted, "Bao'er is not tired at all!"
The Bao'er giggled.
This time, it was Zuo Yi's turn to shake his head. He took out a bottle of mineral water and opened it. "Come, drink some water."
"Okay."
The Bao'er obediently took it and said sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."
Zuo Yi touched her red little face and said with a smile, "Why are you so polite with Dad?"
The Bao'er said seriously, "Aunt Qing said that Bao'er should be a good child with good manners."
Zuo Yi praised her. "Good child."
The Bao'er narrowed her eyes and drank a big mouthful of water from the bottle.
"Bao'er, Bao'er."
The Pipi on her shoulder shouted, "I want to drink too!"
It had said so much and was really thirsty.
"Okay."
Of course, the Bao'er was not stingy. She directly took the bottle of mineral water and fed it to the Pipi.
But she thought it was wrong. She reached out a hand to Zuo Yi and said, "Dad, can you give me the cap?"
Zuo Yi gave her the cap.
She grabbed the bottle with her right hand and held the cap with her left hand. Then she carefully poured the mineral water into the cap.
"Be careful."
Zuo Yi understood and quickly helped her hold the bottle.
Although this was a small bottle of mineral water specially bought for her, it was obviously a little too big for her small hand. It was difficult for her to hold it with one hand.
With Zuo Yi's help, the Bao'er poured a bottle of mineral water and handed it to the Pipi. "Drink."
The Pipi lowered its head and drank the water in the blink of an eye.
The Bao'er poured another cap for it.
Woof woof!
At this time, Teck, who was squatting next to the stool, raised its head and barked.
"You want some too?"
The Bao'er did not neglect Foodie Tai. She quickly said, "I'll give it to you right away."
Zuo Yi reminded, "Drink a few more mouthfuls before you give it to Teck."
"Okay."
The little girl obediently drank a few more mouthfuls. She jumped down from the stool and fed the rest of the water to Teck.
Teck glanced at the Pipi triumphantly and drank from the bottle.
In fact, this guy was not really thirsty. With his extraordinary magical beast physique, he would be fine even if he did not eat or drink for dozens of days. He was just jealous when he saw the Bao'er affectionately feeding Pipi water.
Now he felt refreshed.
Zuo Yi could not help but smile. He did not expose Foodie Tai's clumsy performance.
In any case, he was an Abyss Cerberus. He should at least leave some face for him.
At this time, Zuo Yi suddenly felt a trace of strangeness. He turned his head and saw the stall owner of the neighboring stall looking at him curiously.
When his gaze met with Zuo Yi's, the stall owner smiled awkwardly and greeted him warmly, "Hello, big brother. You brought your daughter to set up a stall? Your daughter is really … "
He gave a thumbs up.
Zuo Yi smiled and asked, "Hello, why are you setting up a stall here? Alone? "
The stall owner next to Zuo Yi looked to be in his twenties. His appearance was simple and honest. He even wore a camouflage worker's uniform. The first impression he gave was that he worked in a construction site.
The display table in front of him was a mess of antiques. There were Buddha statues, bronze furnaces, mirrors, jade, and so on. The common characteristic was that all the objects were covered in yellow soil, as if they had just been dug out from the ground.
Worker figures, unearthed relics … Zuo Yi found them very familiar. He remembered seeing them on the roadside before. Usually, there would be two or three people acting as onlookers.
Zuo Yi felt that it was interesting, so he teased him a little.
The worker scratched his head and gave Zuo Yi a look that said, "Don't expose me, big brother." He complained, "You don't know. It's really impossible to do business outside now.
"That Skynet is too powerful. I just set up my stall for a few minutes, and someone immediately came to confiscate it. So I can only rent a stall here to make a living."
The depression on his face was very real. "I've been here for a few hours today and still haven't opened. I'm definitely going to lose money."
He pointed to the stalls next to him and across from him. "Look, those stalls are the same as me."
Zuo Yi looked in the direction of his finger.
Yes, there were stalls selling medicinal plasters and strength pills, peddling ancestral secret recipes, and even fortune-telling and geomancy. It turned out that all these street people had been driven here!
No wonder the market was so big.
After chatting with Zuo Yi for a while, the worker asked, "Big brother, what are you here to sell?"
Zuo Yi patted the wooden box on the table and said, "I'm here to sell swords."
As he spoke, he opened the box and took out the two Inch Gold Swords. It was time to open the business.
The worker blindly flattered, "Your two swords look grand. They must be very expensive, right?"
Zuo Yi smiled. "It's not that expensive. One million."
One million?
The worker almost choked.
