Accessories include dung-holding boards, drying poles, bird food jars, water tanks, jade fingers, horsetail strings, etc.

Most general birdcage materials are made of bamboo, because bamboo is cheap, but a discerning owner will use wood, and there are rules for what materials to use.

The top one is made of jade, and the lower one is made of copper. The famous cloisonné enamel birdcages of the Qing Dynasty, each one is exquisite!

Then there is the wood. Basically, only red sandalwood is used, and there are less or even no other materials. Because the birdcage needs to be resistant to falling and beating, most of them are made of bamboo.

As for the literati, many of them used bamboo, but they were not plain. Instead, they made carvings on the bamboo. There were only a few carvings of dragons and phoenixes, but it was appropriate to create landscapes and other such things.

Therefore, there are many bamboo-carved birdcages, and the prices are not cheap.

"This should be Jin Sanwei, the cage-making master from Suzhou during the Republic of China!"

Lin Fan looked at it carefully, compared it with the illustrations in his mind, and then laughed.

"How did you know?"

The old man was suddenly shocked, and many people around him wanted to come up.

"Lao Jin, is what he said true?"

"guessed?"

"Young man, how did you tell?"

A group of people surrounded Lin Fan and others. Lin Fan quickly opened his arms gently to protect the birdcage...

"I have seen the craftsmanship of Mr. Jin Sanwei. This group of longevity patterns is in the Suzhou Museum, and it is also found in a bird cage for Mr. Jin. But the most important thing is this thread..."

As Lin Fan spoke, he looked at the old man. The old man nodded, and Lin Fan said, "This is gold silk. Only Mr. Jin Sanwei has the skills to inlay red sandalwood with gold silk!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and then they all said: "Good guy, old boy, you hid it deep enough, there is actually a golden thread here!"

"Yeah, I thought it was wire!"

"It's so dark, young man, how did you know it was gold?"

"It's just oxidation!"

Lin Fan said with a smile, the iron wire is not as black as this, and the only thing that can be so black is precious metals, and Lin Fan knew it was gold at a glance, because silver does not match red sandalwood!

Only gold matches!

"I, Lao Jin, keep my word. Take this birdcage away!"

"Then make a price!"

"What's the price? I say, you take it!"

"ah?"

Everyone exclaimed, what does this mean? This means giving it away for free!

"No, old man, I'm not short of money. There's no need. You can make a price!"

"I told you, take this birdcage away, why don't you want it if it's cheaper for you?"

The old man blew his beard angrily and stared. Lin Fan suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Old man, you are not... a descendant of Mr. Jin Sanwei, are you?"

"Hmph...that's my dad!"

Okay!

Lin Fan figured it out!

A group of old men around started shouting, asking Mr. Jin to make a cage for him. Mr. Jin waved his hand, stood up, turned around and left!

The birdcage is left like this, and there is a bird in the birdcage!

Lin Fan was speechless, and the people around him also advised: "Young man, take it, Lao Jin, to be honest, he has been looking for his successor here for a long time, we can't see this thing, he just wants to

Find someone who can see it!"

What this says...

Lin Fan shook his head. Many people of the older generation are so stubborn.

"Okay, I'll take the things. I have a store in Panjiayuan. If the old man wants to take it back, then come and look for it in the store!"

Lin Fan left the name of his shop, picked up the cage, and turned around to leave.

"Good boy, you can pick up such a leak when you come out, why don't you?"

"If we buy this, it will be ours, but if it is given as a gift, it is hard to put it bluntly and difficult to explain. If the family's children come to ask for it, there will be a lawsuit!"

Too!

Although this is considered a verbal gift, the problem is that it is difficult to prove it without certain video evidence or the like. If it really comes to court, if a few old men in this group can be bribed to testify that they did not give it to Lin Fan, then this

The testimonies of a bunch of old men are useless.

Therefore, when the time comes when people want it, you should give it back to them.

"But I can play for a while first!"

Lin Fan continued to stroll around, but soon, a girl suddenly ran in front of Lin Fan.

After stopping Lin Fan, he started breathing heavily.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

The girl pointed at the birdcage in Lin Fan's hand. Lin Fan had one in each hand. One was covered with black cloth and contained a myna. The other one was a red sandalwood birdcage inlaid with gold wire given by the old man. Inside was a birdcage.

thrush!

"I, I, I..."

The little girl was panting and couldn't speak clearly.

"Don't worry, I'll stand and wait for you. You should breathe well first!"

Good guy, Lin Fan was afraid that this little girl would gasp and pass away.

Finally, the little girl regained her breath and said, "My grandpa asked me to give you this!"

Lin Fan handed the Myna cage to his brother, then took the thing and suddenly understood.

This is a small square strip with the words "Wu Wu, August, Three and Three Fears of Gold" written in seal script on it. The year of Wu Wu is 1918!

Then there is a small square with the words "Prolong life" densely written on it.

"It is indeed the object of this cage. Go back and persuade your grandfather that I will buy this thing, don't give it away!"

The little girl waved her hand directly and said: "It's useless. If my grandfather says it, he won't be able to pull back ten cows. This is for you, but you have to agree to one condition!"

"you say!"

"You have to take good care of the little thrush!"

"How old are you?"

"13, what's wrong?"

"Well, I'll give you my home address. If you're free, you can come over and see the little thrush, okay?"

"real?"

"real!"

The thrush is a caged bird. After getting used to this cage, it is easy for problems to change to another cage. So Lin Fan made a promise. What is there to lie to a 13-year-old girl?

Lin Fan said that his home address was very easy to find. It was a single-family house, so it was very easy to find it.

He Yuzhu also bought two, a canary and a lark, but Lin Fan still did not recommend He Yuzhu to raise a lark!

"Brother Zhuzi, forget it about Bai Ling!"

"Why?"

"Just because of your mouth, a good lark has to be called a mouthful and has a dirty mouth. With your mouth, think about what a good lark can be like!"

"Hey!"

He Yuzhu wanted to protest, but a stubborn person on the side interrupted directly: "This brother is right, lark, you have to have no swear words. Once you learn how to speak, your worth will double, but as long as you have one swear word,

Sorry, worthless!"

"You are a novice, right. In fact, it is not suitable for novices to raise larks. Your canary is a good choice. It sounds the best, but larks are not easy to raise!"

Lin Fan looked at the man, who was also selling birds. Lin Fan immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhuzi, this is the best for you!"

"What is this?"

He Yuzhu is a novice after all, and he doesn’t know who asked him to raise birds.

"This is Muniao, a typical hand-played bird!"

"Playing with birds?"

He Yuzhu was curious, and the bird owner on the side immediately laughed and took out a Wenniao. The Wenniao jumped around in the bird owner's hand!

"This is a hand-played bird. Different from the birds you bring, this kind of bird can be released from the cage and held in your hand. Moreover, it is strong and not easy to raise to death. It is most suitable for those who are just getting started!"

He Yuzhu suddenly realized, and Lin Fan nodded. It was indeed true. If the newlyweds wanted to raise birds, it would be most suitable to raise Wenniao.
