After passing by the bakery, Mo Xiangshan bought a box of bread for Mo Xiaomi. This is what the children in the city like to eat, and he cannot let his granddaughter down.

Mo Xiangshan is a spoiled child. He bought the things Mo Xiaomi wanted without any distress. Mo Xiangshan thought that he could buy something Mo Xiaomi wanted, so he would buy it.

I bought thirty pieces of Tianzi and arithmetic books each, and five pencils, which will probably last two or three years.

Then the grandfather and grandson went to the small restaurant to order two bowls of beef noodles. While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Mo Xiaomi and a small vendor sent a basket of cicadas and monkeys over. The owner of the small restaurant directly gave the man sixteen yuan.

The cicadas in that basket are estimated to be five kilograms, not much. This calculation can be made by one kilogram for three yuan.

"Uncle, where did you come from so many cicada monkeys?" Mo Xiaomi saw the man coming out and followed behind, and then asked when he arrived at the door.

Mo Xiangshan was afraid that his granddaughter would be lost, so he came over to take a look.

"Haha, I'm going to buy it in the village." said the man in his thirties. "There are some of them that are purchased by others and sold to me. Those people collect it from the villagers, catch it the night before, wash it clean and marinate it with salt, and then I send it to restaurants of all sizes and big cities in the county."

"Uncle, you are really business-minded." Mo Xiaomi praised, "How much does it cost per pound if you buy these pickled cicada monkeys?"

The middle-aged man was stunned and asked about the price. Do you want to compete for business with him?

When Mo Xiaomi saw someone misunderstanding, he quickly replied: "Uncle, don't get it wrong. We are from Lihua Bay, which is very far from the county town. Moreover, there are many mountains and trees in our village, and there are many cicada monkeys, but it is inconvenient to get along. If we catch cicada monkeys, how can we sell them to the uncle?"

Only then did Mo Xiangshan understand what his granddaughter meant. It turned out that he wanted to sell cicada monkeys!

But the granddaughter said right. There are indeed many cicadas in their village. There are a lot of little kids, and they can catch a lot of them when they walk around the village at night. If you can sell them, it is good to earn some pocket money.

"Young man, my granddaughter didn't lie. Now the farming season is over, it's okay. If you want cicada monkeys, go to our village to buy them, and there's no problem with hundreds of kilograms a day." Mo Xiangshan explained that Dayong's child is fine at home, so he can catch cicada monkeys and sell them!

When I heard that it was more than 100 kilograms, the middle-aged man was a little moved. This year, the city also wanted the business of cicada monkeys, which was 50 cents more expensive than the county town!

"But it's very far to go to Lihua Bay!" The middle-aged man was embarrassed. "If you collect it in a few nearby villages, you can get one pound of 50 pounds, and it's a good price to pickle it. Then transport it to the county town or even further away to buy it. If you just go to such a far away from Lihua Bay, the road is blocked and the car cannot get in, it will take time back and forth."

"Uncle, why not do this? You can get one cent per kilogram more, and we will send it to your car to the place where you open to traffic, and then put it in your car. Is this okay?" Mo Xiaomi said, "I have a ox cart at home. Although it is slow, it is still OK to walk on the mountain road."

The middle-aged man thought about it and said, "It's too much. One pound is rising, and it's 50 cents a day. You can send it to the Sancha Road. I pass by there at around 8 o'clock every day. If you drive a ox cart, you will probably pass by from Lihua Bay for two hours. If you can, I will want it; if it doesn't, I won't."
