- Chapter 495 Busy catching crickets
Liu Junming¡¯s admission to university is indeed a rare event. The next day, several old men started to write it into the family tree. After all, this was the first person to be admitted in Liujiagou.
The description is very simple, nothing more than "Liu Junming, the first generation descendant of the Liu family, was admitted to xx University in xx." Don't look at these few sentences, it is difficult for most people to leave a mark in them. Liu Junhao looked through the family tree a few days ago. Most of it simply listed people's names. There were very few names that could leave a few descriptions in the family tree. At least so far, he was not qualified to do so.
Liu Junhao was a little depressed because of this. If he had known that he had worked hard to get into college, he would have been able to enter the family tree. With Liu Junming, he can now retire honorably with the title of "college student".
??????????????? But this has little impact on life, you can live your life how you want, and you can¡¯t skip three meals a day.
Although it¡¯s already the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger is no joke. It¡¯s still so hot that people can¡¯t breathe at noon. Liujiagou has a tradition of making autumn fat. Liu Junhao originally planned to cook a delicious meal for lunch, but his wife vetoed the idea as soon as he proposed it. On a hot day, it¡¯s better to eat something light.
As the saying goes, "Thunder strikes autumn, half-harvest in winter" and "One sunny day at the beginning of autumn, farmers don't have to work hard." After the beginning of autumn, it is considered autumn, and the crops will be harvested in a few months.
These have nothing to do with Liu Junhao¡¯s family. This year, his family only has a small amount of land in the backyard. It is very easy to put it away. It takes up to half a day.
After eating, Zhang Qian started talking about the cicada shell again. So far this summer, several teachers have organized students to go to the mountain to play three times. The number of cicadas will obviously decrease after the end of Qiu, and we should be able to fight one last time.
Speaking of this summer vacation, Liu Junhao had a relatively easy time. In addition to taking care of two little guys, the rest of the day is full of food and hunger.
"But the two little guys are getting more and more worried, and now they can't live without people around them. As soon as you left for a while, they immediately cried at the top of their lungs and even rushed to the toilet.
Fortunately, Zhang Qian and the others are free and can take care of each other in shifts.
Two days ago, a crew went to Liujiagou to shoot a TV series and asked Liu Junhao to be an extra. However, he had no choice but to refuse because he had to take care of the children.
In fact, since "xx Sunshine" became popular, Liujiagou has been in the hearts of many directors. Many crews filming rural themes have come to inspect UN. So far, three crews have come. Liujiagou people are now accustomed to filming TV series, and many people are addicted to extras. Although they were just dangling in front of the camera as a background, they still made the villagers happy for a long time.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Of course, in those TV series with rural themes, Chitu was the one with the highest appearance rate.
While relaxing at home, Huo Jun called and asked him to help collect crickets in Liujiagou.
"What are you collecting?" Liu Junhao thought he had called in advance to collect mushrooms, but who knew he would actually collect them.
"Cricket, grasshopper, its scientific name is cricket." Huo Jun thought it didn't hear clearly, so he explained again.
"Damn, why did you accept everything? Is eating crickets becoming popular in the city now?" Only then did Liu Junhao realize that he had no servant. It seems that I have heard that crickets are high-protein and low-fat insects and taste good.
"It's not about eating, it's about playing with crickets. You should understand this." Huo Jun asked rhetorically.
¡°I understand it too well.¡± When it comes to cricket fighting, Liu Junhao himself is considered a semi-expert.
When I was in primary school, there were few recreational activities. What students often did after school started in the fall was fight with crickets. There are still ten days before school starts, and those naughty kids in the village start catching crickets all over the world, and then put the caught crickets into a knockout competition, and the top three will be awarded the titles of "First Pot", "Second Pot", and "Third Pot" respectively. Wait until school starts before taking it to school to participate in the competition.
This is an extracurricular activity that almost everyone participates in, as attractive as playing video games for children today. After class, everyone takes out crickets from their pencil cases and puts them on the ring to compete several times.
The stakes are not high each time, just an exercise book.
As soon as you hear that a cricket fight has begun, countless people will immediately gather to watch. Children who lose in a fight will naturally be dejected. Often when they get anxious, they will pull out a few hairs from their heads, tie the cricket around its neck, and throw the cricket in the air several times until the cricket is shaken until stars appear in its eyes. Such crickets are called "soul-calling crickets". After the "soul-calling crickets" come back on the scene, they are much more powerful than before. They often make desperate gestures and turn defeat into victory. But after one fight, this soul-calling cricket will not survive.
Because of the cricket fight, Liu Junhao lost more than a dozen homework books in a row. He learned from it painfully and deliberatelyI asked someone for advice and learned that the crickets on Lu¨¤n's grave mound were more powerful. So, after dinner in the evening, Liu Qiyong and he sneaked to the cemetery with a small body. At that time, the woods next to Lu¨¤n's grave had not yet been cut down, and there were many owls at night, which was very scary. The two of them were both stunned and couldn't care less about their fear. They spent most of the night looking around Lu¨¤n's graveyard and caught three crickets.
One of the crickets was really powerful. He passed the class competition and became the champion. He also won back the homework books he lost. Just when Liu Junhao was about to take advantage of the victory and move to a foreign class, the teacher discovered the cricket fight.
The teacher trampled this champion into a piece of meat with just one kick. Of course, Liu Junhao didn't feel better after returning home. Old man Liu had already waited for him with a broomstick.
But those were all naughty things I did when I was little. When I grew up, I was so busy that I never caught crickets again.
Now when I hear Huo Jun mention it, it feels fresh.
"Okay, I'll go to the village to promote it to you. How much does one cost?" Liu Junhao agreed immediately. Crickets are purely pests that harm peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds in the fields. The villagers gritted their teeth with hatred, it would be better to catch them all.
"Two for one yuan, even those oil gourds, but only male ones."
"What do you need the oil gourd for?" Liu Junhao asked puzzledly. Although those things can fight, their fighting skills are not good, and few people use them to fight.
¡°You can keep it for fun, the oil gourd has a loud cry, so it¡¯s good to raise it in a cage.¡±
"Well, you can come over tomorrow and I'll catch half the bucket for you." Liu Junhao promised, patting his chest. I have a high-pressure lamp on in my backyard, and countless crickets follow the light every night.
Most of these crickets have become delicious meals for eels. It would be better if the waste is reused. When he told He Yifan and others about collecting crickets, these naughty children immediately cheered.
¡°Two days ago, they were worried about the decrease in cicadas after the Beginning of Autumn and their income would be much less. Good thing now, there are new money-making projects.
He then asked He Yifan to inform the village. In the afternoon, the boy brought more than a hundred crickets to sell.
"You naughty kid, what do I need crickets for? You keep them at home first, and someone will come to collect them tomorrow. And these people won't collect them" Liu Junhao said, picking out a few fat gourds from the bucket.
"Why, why, didn't you say you want oil gourd?" the m¨¢o child asked in confusion.
"They want male crickets, and the crickets should be kept separately, and those with broken arms and little tusks will not be accepted." Liu Junhao did not tell them how to distinguish male and female crickets. These guys often play cricket fights, so they naturally have a clear mind. Female crickets have a long, needle-like ovipositor in the middle of their tails and do not sing. Male crickets do not have a needle-shaped ovipositor in their tails, but they can sing and are good at fighting.
Seeing that the Kung Fu family had caught so many, He Yifan and others couldn't bear to wait until night, so they immediately picked up the Nutrition Express bottle and started looking for moxa along the walls.
Crickets like to live in shade, loose soil, and relatively humid environments. There are many in the grass, under dead branches and leaves, and in the cracks of bricks in the yard.
In a short time, they had harvested more than twenty crickets. They learned from the lessons learned by the children and others. They were very careful when catching the crickets, for fear of losing the crickets, and they specially stored them separately after catching them.
There are more crickets at night, a swarm of them under the high-voltage lamp, and countless eels stick their heads out of the water, waiting for the unlucky ones who jump into the water.
The three of them became more and more interested. Until after twelve o'clock, Liu Junhao urged them several times and they didn't sleep.
However, the harvest was fruitful. When Huo Jun came to the door, the three people harvested all the crickets they had caught. They caught more than 300 crickets in one night.
Other children in the village also caught a lot of them, and each child was sold for nearly 80 yuan.
To Liu Junhao¡¯s surprise, several tourists brought crickets to the door. In their words, idleness is idleness. Catching these can not only kill time but also make money, so why not do it.
In one morning, the large cupboard dedicated to raising crickets that Huo Jun brought was full, and more than a thousand yuan was spilled.
"I said Lao Huo, can you sell this? Don't lose money." Liu Junhao asked worriedly when he saw that he had collected so much.
"Don't worry, I can't bear the loss. Nowadays, people have money and play with a lot of things. Cricket fighting has become a pastime like fishing, bird raising, and flower planting. There are many people playing with crickets in our city now. There are almost tens of thousands of people. These crickets can be sold for an ordinary two yuan each. If the good ones can be sold for hundreds of yuan, or even thousands of yuan. There are one or two good ones among so many, so I won't lose money. If If you can really get a "general" or "insect king", that would be amazing, it would be like finding gold." Huo Jun and Liu JunHao has been doing business for several years and is familiar with each other, so they met.
At the end, Huo Jun sighed, "The cricket market here is not active enough. In Ningyang, Shandong Province, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with lush vegetation, unique geographical location and natural environment. It has been a famous hometown of crickets since ancient times. Now it comes every year There is an endless stream of people buying crickets in Ningyang. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people this season, and many of them come from Hong Kong and Macao. The crickets there are very expensive. It is said that some can sell for tens of thousands of yuan. "
