Long years (29)

Slowly, in addition to children, adults also started catching the monkeys in groups.

Even Yingzi and Jin Laoer came to the orchard to touch them at night.

Aunt Jin and Old Man Jin are still following behind.

Why is this all happening?

Everyone is saying that if three cicadas and monkeys carry the nutrition of an egg, is that okay? If the eggs are reluctant to be given to children, how can the cicadas be reluctant to give them to children?

Arrest them. Many people were arrested, and slowly, some were taken to the market to sell them.

Not to mention, there are actually people who specifically collect them.

After processing, pickle it with salt, thread it with iron skewers, make a wire rack for barbecue, and a delicious barbecue will come out. It is not only sold at the factory gate here, but gradually, even in the county.

.

Catching monkeys is not only a side activity to coax children to improve their lives, but has also become a serious business to generate income.

Often adults, children and the whole family go into battle together. Some people don't stop until one or two o'clock in the morning. The older children can still hold on, but the younger ones can't. They promised to do it when they came, but the result is that after ten

I started humming as soon as I clicked on it, making me very sleepy. I pestered an adult to carry it on my back, but I fell asleep while carrying it on my back.

After carrying the small one and the big one, an adult has to go back home to take the child to bed.

The rest continue to fight. Some of the cicada monkeys that have been retrieved have already shed their shells. Seeing this, they cannot be put together with other ones that have not transformed. They must be placed in a separate bucket with salt water.

If it is left alive, it will still be tender and tender in color, otherwise the tender flesh will turn into a black hard shell before it gets home, turning it into a cicada.

This kind of metamorphosis is not something that people like to have after receiving it. But picking it out does not prevent them from eating it at home.

At Ding Aimin's house next door, all the crops were gone, and he worked all night long looking for this thing. Sitting at the door at night, he even boasted to Fourth Master and Jin Laoer, "I can sell it for more than one yuan a night, how much will I earn in a month? It's no better than that."

The wages are poor." Then he looked down upon small civil servants like Fourth Master: "How much do you earn per month? Are you forty?"

But dear neighbor, this thing is seasonal, it will be gone after that, we have to see you next year.

Fourth Master is one of those people who eats fast for one day as a monk. He will never starve to death.

Liu Bao, who was enjoying the cool weather together, said to him: "How can you survive a year on more than thirty yuan?"

Ding Aimin loved it, people said: "That's it for this year, but I have thought about it. I will get more in this quarter next year than they do in the whole year."

How can you be so sure?

The man told him his plan, "I'm going to plant cicadas..." Just when everyone was about to laugh, he said, "Don't think you can just plant crops. Let me tell you, you saw the branches sucked dry by the cicadas."

No? That thing is full of cicada eggs. Then cut it out, bury it in the ground, and wait. Next year it will be all over the ground, just go and pick it up at night. There is no need to add fertilizer or water the ground, and there is no investment.

.If you like weeds, let them grow. Just know that the monkeys will crawl out to climb higher. This is a good way to save time, effort and cost. Think about how much income you will have in that day, even if you are thirty, you can't stop it.

.More than a thousand yuan a month is equivalent to their salary for two years..."

After thinking about it this way, it seems to make sense.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong listened to this as a joke. After all, who had the brains to plant such a thing? If you plant it, it will not be harvested next year. It will take three years in the ground before it will come out. If you really want to do this, it will take one year.

If you don’t plant crops, it’s really all in vain.

Who knew that two days later, they heard that the third child was going to plant this thing in the ground, and the two of them became uneasy.

I told him in the past that this thing is really not going to work. This is not how it was done. You won’t be able to harvest if you keep planting like this. Don’t delay the farming season. Just plant what you need. I also asked him to talk to others and publicize it. This thing is really not reliable.

Spectrum.

Besides, even if they can be grown, when there are more, who will sell them to?

Who can eat this thing?

The Fourth Master talked about this matter in the commune again, wrote special promotional materials, distributed them to the villages, and posted publicity materials.

But money touches people's hearts. There are still more people who are hesitant to believe it. Then how do you know so clearly that cicada monkeys grow underground?

Although I'm not like some lazy people who don't plant anything in the field but just plant cicada monkeys. But I still planted this thing next to the crops, just in case it works.

Many people asked Jin Lao Er: "Cut out the dry branches from your orchard for us..."

Jin Laoer thought to himself, how can I have the time? He simply said: "I'm also burying them in the garden. I don't have enough here."

Those people laughed: "The fourth child in your family said that stuff is not good, but you are still here planting it for others..."

Jin Laoer laughed: "Let's try it. Anyway, it's just idle time..."

After that, more people are willing to try growing one.

Jin Laoer said to Fourth Master: "Fuck the ball! There are not many who really don't plant anything but that stuff. They are just planting a little bit in the field. If it doesn't grow, they will give up."

No matter what the ball goes, what else can be done?

Autumn is here, and the orchards are bearing fruit for the second year. The taste of the fruit is much better than last year. Nowadays, there are less fruits. Not every village used to have a large orchard, dozens of acres. There are all kinds of fruit trees. That was the early days of rural areas.

The product of development. Nowadays, the trees are old and the fruits are small. In addition, there are problems with varieties and poor management. Although some people want the fruits when they come out, they are all taken by people in the village to exchange for some coarse grains for the children to eat.

The Jin family's is often in short supply. Boxes and boxes are sold, and they are all from public institutions. Some have benefits set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some are for gifts. The fourth master picked up the best ones.

After buying three jars, I saved three more jars for the second child’s family and asked the third child to take them. The third child only picked the ones that were not very good-looking and had a little rust on them. They were not beautiful in appearance, but they did not affect the taste. The boss

I got some in a hurry, and I heard that I gave half of it to my father-in-law. I didn’t get much from my father-in-law, but I heard that he sold it after changing hands, and the price was still high.

Seeing that there are people selling orchards here for money, many people think that this orchard may be something they can do.

But this is just an idea in my mind. The key is that no one dares to do this. Why? Once a fruit tree is planted, it will not bear fruit for three or four years. You have to invest in it every year, but there is no harvest. If you manage it well,

You can bear fruit in the third year, but the quantity and quality are not good. If you don't manage it well, you will be able to make some money back in the fourth year. What has the family been eating and drinking in the past few years?

Many people have asked, but no one dares to do this.

However, a few people came over and asked Lin Yutong, "Can we pay for the feed on credit first? After the pigs are raised and put out of the pen, we will pay for the feed."

It's like borrowing a chicken to lay an egg.

If this operation is carried out twenty years later, it will probably work. After all, the competition was fierce at that time, and the feed was also competing in the market. But now this feed factory is regarded as the only business. The supply exceeds the demand, and the orders are already there.

It will be postponed to the year after next. Do you think this opening can be opened under such circumstances?

There are so many families in the village. Whose family should we give it to or not?

However, since the feed is produced locally, it would really be unjustifiable if it did not benefit the local people.

What to do?

The fourth master said: Let’s do it this way. Feed cannot be owed on credit, but we can exchange it for something.

What? It’s the raw material for making pig feed.

There is not enough local food for this thing, but you can go to the grain-producing areas and buy it yourself. Or you can exchange it with others for our locally produced cotton. In exchange, you can make a price difference and send this thing to the feed factory.

, it can be converted into money, it can be converted into feed, it can be half money and half feed. Whatever is convenient for you.

Not to mention, this is really the way to go.

Nowadays, not many people grow corn in the late season, and most of them eat wheat. All the fields grown in the late season are cotton. Selling the cotton to the cotton station is actually the same as taking the cotton to other places to exchange for food, and then sell it when you come back.

To feed mills, this transfer is money.

The price difference alone is enough to exchange for feed.

There are quite a few people who know how to settle accounts, and the more they calculate, the more capable they are of doing this. One or two of them have spread the word.

Then it became lively here at night. They were all young men who worked together in the same village. Even if the relationship was not close, they were still familiar. That is to say, the fourth master is now an 'official'. In the eyes of many people, this

There's a distance now. I feel like there's nothing left to talk about.

But things are different now. Now there is a new common topic. We are discussing where to buy, how to buy, and the price is right. Groups of people are talking about the same topic.

Even Qing Ning knows that a pound of lint cotton can be exchanged for more than half a bag of corn in the north, so what?

So, autumn has entered, and the whole Taiping Town is extremely busy. Those looking for piglets are looking for piglets. Now the price of piglets has increased. If you encounter them, get them back as soon as possible. Use your own wheat bran and other things, and exchange them first.

They ordered some feed and ate it with pig grass. Then the women were busy picking cotton to dry and then take it to someone to play, while the men went out with the cotton to exchange for food.

Not all bicycles are available, not many people can afford them. Those who have bicycles ride them, and carry a pump on the back of the car in case they run out of gas on the way. I go out with a bag of cotton, and I almost have to push it when I come back.

I came back with my bicycle, and I couldn't ride it even if I tied a lot of food to the back of the bicycle. Those who didn't have bicycles just relied on one pair of legs to pull a bicycle, and fathers and sons, brothers, friends, and neighbors walked together. People who had never been out were outside.

People walking around in the streets say that people who leave their hometowns are cheap because they are afraid of being bullied or harassed by local gangsters. There are also coats and quilts on the carriages. If you can't walk in a place in a day, you have to carry them wherever you go in the wilderness at night.

Where did you sleep?

Once you go out, it will take four to five days or seven to eight days to come back.

But this time when I came back, I went to the feed factory to exchange money and feed. Then I went out for a few days and then came back to see that one and two pigs at home had gained weight, and I was full of energy.

Feed is not something profound.

In a few years, it will definitely bloom everywhere. Fourth Master took this as a springboard, but he really didn’t think about continuing to make this thing. What’s the point of selling it all over the world to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong?

The technical content is too little.

But if this factory is run well, it can still drive this area.

Nowadays, I dare not say that every family in this town has benefited, but overall, it is not bad. The supply and marketing cooperative has gone to the provincial capital, other cities and even outside the province. What are they doing? Selling pigs!
