Peach Pit Landlord

The cage was not big, and there was a gray bird in it. The bird appeared to be somewhat larger than a pigeon, and the gray plumage made it look unobtrusive.

However, Li Yuan knew very well that this bird was actually the famous gray parrot despite its unattractive appearance. It is said that this parrot is very smart, its IQ is almost equal to that of a five-year-old child, it is very good at imitating various languages, and it can also master hundreds of words.

It should be noted that gray parrots can "master" hundreds of words, rather than simply "imitate". This means they understand the meaning of the words and can say the right words when needed.

It is precisely because of this that gray parrots have become the new favorite of many people in recent years. Many people enjoy taking care of gray parrots and teaching them to talk.

However, the gray parrot is native to Africa, and it is more troublesome to breed in China. In addition, there are many people who like it, so the price has also risen, and a baby bird can be sold for more than 5,000 yuan. If you can speak a few words, the price is even higher.

Li Yuan also likes this kind of parrot very much, and has always wanted to raise one. But before, he couldn't even feed himself, let alone a bird worth several thousand yuan. However, now Li Yuan's situation has improved a lot, so after seeing this gray parrot, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

But the condition of the gray parrot was not very good. It squatted at the bottom of the cage with its neck curled up, the feathers on its head and back were fluffy, and its whole body was trembling slightly.

Li Yuan has seen this kind of situation in the neighbor's chickens before, and it is clearly the manifestation of chicken plague. Any chicken that has this situation usually dies within a few days. This gray parrot should be no exception, it seems that it won't live for too long.

The gray parrot in the cage also noticed that someone was looking at it. Although it was seriously ill, it still raised its head reluctantly, trying to enclose Li Yuan's finger with its crooked mouth.

The gray parrot's reaction made Li Yuan's heart twitch slightly, and he quickly asked the owner of the pet shop: "Boss, how do you sell this bird?"

"This is an African gray parrot, the smartest parrot!" Seeing a customer coming to the door, the owner of the pet shop immediately gushed, "This kind of bird is difficult to breed, and it is hand-fed since childhood. The price is not cheap..."

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Just ask the price directly, don't say so many useless things..."

"Seven thousand!" The owner of the pet shop made a gesture and finally made an offer.

Hearing the price, Li Yuan turned around and left without saying a word.

Even for a healthy gray parrot, the normal price on the market is no more than five thousand. This unscrupulous boss opened his mouth for seven thousand, and he was still a sick bird. He completely took Li Yuan as a fool. Li Yuan hated others for treating him as a fool, and immediately lost interest in talking to him.

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to leave, the owner of the pet shop was also in a hurry, and hurriedly said loudly: "My friend, the price is negotiable, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Li Yuan stopped walking when he heard this, and said coldly: "This gray parrot is seriously ill. I have to go to the pet hospital to treat it immediately after I buy it, and it is not certain whether it will be cured or not. You are asking such a high price. , there is nothing to discuss at all.”

Seeing that Li Yuan has already noticed that the gray parrot is sick, the owner of the pet shop also knows that it is impossible to charge a high price. In fact, he really wanted to sell this sick gray parrot as soon as possible, so as not to lose everything when he died of the disease, so he laughed and said, "Of course we can negotiate, you can pay the price!"

"One thousand and five!" Li Yuan was unambiguous, and immediately quoted a low price.

The owner of the pet shop immediately frowned and said, "My friend, the price is too low. You are making me lose everything!"

Bargaining is Li Yuan's forte. He immediately sneered and said, "If no one buys your bird within a few days, you won't even earn 1500 yuan."

The owner of the pet shop also knew that Li Yuan was right, but he still asked him to increase the price. So Li Yuan added one hundred and two hundred more, and then sold it for two thousand three hundred. The owner of the pet shop also gave away a cage and a pack of bird food.

Li Yuan was also very satisfied with today's harvest after receiving the gray parrot's cage and bird food from the frowning pet shop owner.

Looking at the shy gray parrot in the cage, Li Yuan had an idea: "Your two friends are called Huangdou and Heitou respectively, so you should be called Huidou!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, the gray parrot immediately turned his head away, as if he disliked the name. However, Li Yuan, as the master, of course had to maintain his dignity, completely ignored the reaction of the gray parrot, and decided to call it that from now on.

Although he bought Huidou for more than 2,000 yuan, Li Yuan did not intend to take him to the pet hospital for treatment. You must know that it costs money to go to the pet hospital, and it may not be able to cure the gray beans that are already seriously ill. Li Yuan's plan is to put gray beans into the peach pit space, and believe that it will recover soon in that magical place.

After returning home, Li Yuan immediately brought the three beans into the Taohe space.

Soybean and Black Bean were very curious about this strange place. They looked around and smelled here and there as soon as they came out of the cardboard box, and they soon spread joy on the grass.

It can be seen that the two puppies like this place very much. After all, there is such a large area where they can move freely, which is like heaven for puppies.

Compared with soybeans and black beans, the situation of gray beans is worse. Although Li Yuan opened the cage, it still had no intention of coming out, it still squatted at the bottom of the cage and dozed off.

"Come out, it's so much fun outside." Li Yuan could only grab the gray bean out with his hands, and at the same time beware of its curved mouth. The parrot's mouth is very powerful. Even if the gray bean is sick, it will still bruise the skin if it bites it.

But Gray Dou seemed to know that Li Yuan was doing it for its own good, and without any struggle, he obediently let the new owner grab him out of the cage.

"Not bad, very good!" Satisfied with Huidou's reaction, Li Yuan could not help but praise it.

Then Li Yuan scooped up some spring water for Huidou to drink, and prepared some bird food for it. The seriously ill Huidou didn't eat the bird food, just drank some water, then curled up and dozed off again.

Li Yuan had no better way to deal with Huidou, he just put it to rest on the peach tree so that the two puppies would not disturb it. Then he left the peach pit space and went to find something to eat for soybeans and black beans.

Unlike those delicate ornamental dogs, Chinese pastoral dogs are very easy to raise. As long as you feed them some rice with leftovers, the two little ones can grow up smoothly.

Li Yuan made some leftovers, and asked Aunt Hua for some leftovers that she didn't use when making stewed vegetables. After mixing them together, they became a delicious dish of soybeans and black beans.

But when Li Yuan excitedly brought the dog food into the peach pit space, he was really taken aback.
