Why are the parrots I raise so well-behaved? It’s because I can sense their behaviors and emotions and respond accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she extended her fingers adorned with wine-red nail polish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parrot eating sunflower seeds actually jumped onto her hand, appearing very affectionate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner couldn’t help but praise, \"Miss, this parrot is usually very afraid of people;

she had no clue about these antiques, how did Jiang Ning know so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong was a bit deflated, she asked, \"Are they all fake, isn’t there anything with a bit of history?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning pointed to a thermos the stall owner used for drinking water and said, \"This thing probably has about ten years of history and is the oldest in the stall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner was furious, are you here to wreck my business!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning casually continued to wander around; after a few steps, a shrewd old man sitting on a low stool shouted, \"Come take a look, absolutely authentic antiques, we even have a certificate of appraisal from an expert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Yuantong walked to the stall, and the old man immediately unfolded the certificate: \"Look, this antique looks exactly like the one on the certificate, it’s definitely a genuine product!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning said: \"The antique is fake, and so is the certificate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s face went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rather imposing middle-aged man came over and praised: \"Looks like, it really does look like it, isn’t this Yuan Blue and White? Boss, how much? I’ll take it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man: \"Eight hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man pretended to take out money to buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning glanced at him and said: \"An accomplice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After browsing a few stalls, Xue Yuantong found a blue and white porcelain vase, and the stall owner asked for fifty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong considered for a moment and asked: \"Will you sell it for five yuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner hesitated for a few seconds: \"Add another five yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Tongtong bought a blue and white porcelain vase for eight yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After browsing the entire street, the three returned on their way and picked up the succulents they had bought earlier, heading to find Jiang Ning’s treasured electric scooter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning loaded the two girls and prepared to drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a \"ding ding\" sound came from nearby, Xue Yuantong had excellent vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with a basket on his back and a small hammer in hand was constantly striking a shovel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding Ding Candy, I haven’t had it in a long time!\" Xue Yuantong patted Jiang Ning, signaling him to call the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning drove closer and asked: \"How much is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he asked, about five or six meters to his right, a girl in a pink down jacket opened her mouth, trying to shout: \"Don’t...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man turned his head and stared at the girl coldly, gripping the hammer tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the pink down jacket was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong: \"Grandpa, how much is the Ding Ding Candy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man didn’t answer. He bent down to remove the basket from his back, placed it on the ground, and pointed to a large, solid white piece of candy: \"Malt candy, very delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong: \"How much is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man mumbled: \"By weight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu, used to being poor, people like them must know the price before buying anything: \"How much per pound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man seemed not to hear, he rested the shovel on the candy block, then with a tap of the hammer, a large piece of candy was knocked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped as he said: \"Malt candy is good to eat, clears heat, aids digestion, and is good for the skin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s actions were quick. After breaking the malt candy, he picked up a bottle of powder and sprinkled it on the malt candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he picked up the scale and swiftly weighed it, \"A total of eighty-two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongtong nearly thought she heard wrong: \"What, eight yuan twenty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man held up his fingers, emphasizing: \"Eighty-two yuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl from afar was filled with anxiety; she knew this was a scam, similar to the glutinous rice cake swindle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been deceived by this old man before; when she asked the price before buying, he kept pretending not to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the price, Tongtong was nearly dumbfounded. Eighty-two yuan? She used to buy a bag on the street for just a few yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Chuchu: \"How much per pound?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man held up the malt candy: \"Twelve yuan per tael.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning laughed: \"Why don’t you just go rob someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, the old man was furious, immediately performing a face change; he gripped the hammer, his tone becoming very stern: \"You asked for it yourself; if you dare not pay, I’ll call the police to arrest you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a legal transaction, even if the police come, there’s nothing they can do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Tongtong and Chuchu started to think of ways to get out of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man continued to intimidate: \"Pay up, or I’ll report...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal people faced with this would have no choice but to swallow their anger and pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning didn’t care about reasoning: \"Report my foot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his foot, kicked the old man’s chest with immense force, flipping him and his basket and hammer over, scattering the Ding Ding Candy all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl who wore a look of despair was stunned in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there really someone who dares to resist with violence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ning twisted the throttle, and the electric scooter sped away swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1593,"2026-05-30T14:40:36.425Z","2026-06-01T04:31:29.709Z",1,"novelbin.me","2ca5a4125e9a720e174d7eb3e15732ccfd1f23e18ddf3276865752082429a36c","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1612","rebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-chapter-1610",1809,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-slice-of-life-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
