Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 501 Busy Catching Crickets
It is indeed a rare event for Liu Junming to be admitted to university.The next day, several old men tried to write it into the family tree. After all, this was the first Juren admitted by Liujiagou.

The description is very simple, nothing more than "Liu Junming, the descendant of several generations of the Liu family, was admitted to XX University in XX".Don't underestimate these few words, it is very difficult for ordinary people to keep a fortune in them.Liu Junhao looked through the family tree a few days ago, and most of them simply listed the names of people. There are very few names that can leave a few words of description in the family tree, at least so far he has not been qualified to do so.

For this reason, Liu Junhao was a little depressed when he was young. If he knew that he worked hard to get into college, he could also enter the family tree for a while.With Liu Junming, now his title of "college student" can also be honorably retired.

However, this has no effect on life. Live as you want, and you can't miss three meals a day.

Although it's already the beginning of autumn, Qiuhu is not joking, it's still suffocatingly hot at noon.Liujiagou has a tradition of sticking autumn fat. Liu Junhao originally planned to cook a delicious lunch, but his wife rejected it as soon as he proposed it.On a hot day, it's better to eat something light.

As the saying goes, "Thunder strikes autumn, winter half-harvesting" and "A sunny day in the beginning of autumn, the farmers don't have to work hard." After the beginning of autumn, it will be considered autumn, and the crops will be harvested in a month or so.

These have nothing to do with Liu Junhao's family. This year, his family only has a piece of land in the backyard. It is easy to put it away, and it will take half a day at most.

After eating, Zhang Qian started talking about cracking cicada shells again.So far this summer, several teachers have organized students to go up the mountain to fight three times.The cicadas will obviously decrease after the autumn, and it should be possible to play one last time.

Speaking of this summer vacation, Liu Junhao had a relatively relaxed life.Except for taking care of the 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.Just after you left for a while, they immediately cried loudly, even rushing to the bathroom.

Fortunately, Zhang Qian and the others are both idle, so they can take over shifts.

Two days ago, a crew went to Liujiagou to shoot a TV series, and Liu Junhao was asked to play a guest role as an extra, but he had no choice but to refuse because of childcare.

In fact, since "XX Sunshine" hit the air, Liujiagou has become popular among many directors.Many production crews filming rural themes have come to investigate. Since the beginning of spring, three production crews have come.People in Liujiagou are no strangers to filming TV series now, and many people have become addicted to extras.Although they are all dangling in front of the camera as the background, it also makes the villagers happy for a long time.

To say that the animals in Liu Junhao's family are the ones that stand out the most. Almost every production crew comes to film these animals.Of course, when filming those TV dramas with rural themes, the one with the highest appearance rate was replaced by Chitu.

While relaxing at home, Huo Jun called and asked him to help collect crickets in Liujiagou.

"What are you collecting?" Liu Junhao thought that he called in advance to collect mushrooms, but who knew that he would collect this thing.

"Cricket, grasshopper, the scientific name is cricket" Huo Jun thought it didn't hear clearly, so he explained again.

"Damn, why do you accept everything. Is it popular to eat crickets in the city now?" Liu Junhao knew that he was not a servant.It seems that I have heard people say that crickets are high-protein and low-fat insects, and they taste good.

"It's not eating, it's cricket fighting. You should understand this." Huo Jun asked back.

"I understand it too well." Speaking of cricket fighting, Liu Junhao himself is considered a half-expert.

When I was in elementary school, there were few recreational activities. After the fall semester, the students often did cricket fighting.More than ten days before leaving school, the brats in the village began to catch crickets all over the world, and then put the crickets they caught into a knockout match, winning the top three, who were named "first pot", "second pot" and "third pot". After school starts, I will take it to the school to participate in the competition.

It's an extracurricular activity that nearly everyone does, as much as kids play video games these days.After class, everyone took out crickets from the pencil case and set up the ring to fight several times.

The stakes are not high each time, just one homework book.

As long as you hear about the start of a cricket fight, countless people will immediately gather to watch.The children who lose the fight are naturally dejected, and often when they are in a hurry, they will pull out a few hairs from their heads, then tie the cricket's neck, and throw it in the air several times until the cricket is thrown with stars.Such crickets are called "calling soul crickets". After the "calling soul crickets" come back to the field, they are much stronger than before, and they often fight to the death, turning defeat into victory.But after a fight, the soul-calling cricket will not survive.

Because of the cricket fight, Liu Junhao lost more than a dozen homework in a row.After learning from the painful experience, he specially asked someone for advice, and learned that the crickets on the random graves are more powerful.So, after dinner in the evening, Liu Qiyong and Liu Qiyong sneaked up to the cemetery with a small flashlight.At that time, the forest next to the mass grave had not been cut down, and there were many owls at night, which was very scary.The two of them were also stunned, and they didn't care about their fear at all. They spent most of the night going around the graveyard and caught three crickets.

Among them, there was a cricket who was really good. He passed the class competition and became the champion. He also won back the homework he lost.Just when Liu Junhao was about to take advantage of the victory and move to another class, the teacher discovered the cricket fight.

The teacher trampled the champion into meatloaf with just one foot.Of course, Liu Junhao didn't feel better after returning home. The old man Liu had already waited for him with a broom bump.

But those were all mischievous things when I was a child. When I grew up, I was too busy to catch crickets.

Now that Huo Jun mentions it, it feels fresh.

"Okay, I'll go to the village to promote it to you later, how much is one?" Liu Junhao agreed without hesitation.Crickets are purely pests, and they specifically harm peanuts, soybeans, and sesame seeds in the field.The villagers gritted their teeth in hatred, it would be better to catch them all.

"Two for one yuan, and even that kind of oil gourd, but only a male one."

"What do you want the oil gourd to do?" Liu Junhao asked puzzled.Although that thing can fight, but their fighting is not exciting, few people use this thing to fight.

"Let's keep it for fun. The oil gourd has a loud cry, and it's not bad to raise it in a cage."

"Well, you can come over tomorrow, and I'll catch half a barrel for you." Liu Junhao promised, patting his chest.There are high-voltage lights in my backyard, and countless crickets follow the lights every night.

Most of these crickets have become a delicious meal for eels, and it would be better if the waste was used.When he told He Yifan and others about the cricket collection, the brats cheered immediately.

Two days ago, they were worried that their cicadas would decrease after the beginning of autumn, and their income would also decrease a lot.Fortunately, there is a new money-making project.

Then he asked He Yifan to go to the village to inform him, and in the afternoon, Maozi brought more than 100 crickets to sell.

"You brat, what do I want crickets for? You keep them at home first, and someone will come to collect them tomorrow. And these people don't accept them..." Liu Junhao picked out a few fat-headed oil gourds from the bucket.

"Why, why, didn't you say you want oil gourd?" Mao Zi asked in confusion.

"People want male crickets, and the crickets have to be released separately, and those with broken arms and legs are not accepted." Liu Junhao didn't tell them how to distinguish between male and female crickets.These guys often play cricket fights, so they are naturally clear.There is a long needle-shaped ovipositor in the middle of the tail of the female cricket, which cannot sing; the male cricket has no needle-shaped ovipositor in the tail, which can sing and fight well.

Seeing how many Kung Fu people caught so many, He Yifan and others couldn't bear to wait until night, and immediately started to search around the base of the wall with the Nutrition Express bottle.

Crickets like to live in shady, loose soil, and relatively humid environments. There are many grasses in the yard, under dead branches and leaves, and in the cracks of bricks.

After a while, they harvested more than 20 crickets, learning from the lesson of Maozi and others. When they caught crickets, they handled them lightly, for fear of losing the legs of the crickets, and deliberately stored them separately after catching them.

There are more crickets at night, and under the high-voltage lamp, there is a large group of black and white eels sticking their heads out of the water, waiting for those unlucky ghosts who jump into the water.

The more the three caught up, the more interested they became. Until after twelve o'clock, Liu Junhao urged them several times and they didn't go to sleep.

But the harvest was fruitful. When Huo Jun came to the door, the three of them got out all the crickets they caught, and they caught more than 300 yuan in one night.

A lot of other children in the village were also caught, and the hairy children were sold for nearly 80 yuan each.

To Liu Junhao's surprise, there were still a few tourists who brought crickets to the door. In their words, idleness is idleness. Catching this can not only pass the time but also earn money, why not do it.

In one morning, the big cabinet that Huo Jun brought was full of crickets, and more than 1000 yuan was spilled.

"I said, Lao Huo, can you sell this? Don't pay for it." Liu Junhao asked worriedly when he saw that he charged so much.

"Don't worry, I can't afford to suffer. Now people have money, and they can play a lot of tricks. Cricket fighting has become a kind of pastime just like fishing, raising birds, and planting flowers. Now there are many people playing cricket in our city, almost Tens of thousands of people. These crickets can be sold for the usual two yuan. If they are good, they can be sold for hundreds of yuan, or even thousands of yuan. I will not lose money if there are one or two good ones. Just "General" and "Bug King", that's great, it's like finding gold." Huo Jun and Liu Junhao have been doing business for several years, and they know each other well, so they can tell the truth.

At the end, Huo Jun sighed again, "The cricket market here is not active enough. In Ningyang, Shandong, there are mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, unique geographical location and natural environment. It has been a famous hometown of crickets since ancient times. Now every year to There is an endless stream of people buying crickets in Ningyang. It is estimated that there are 10,000+ people in this season, and many of them come from Hong Kong and Macau. The crickets there are very expensive, and it is said that some can only sell for tens of thousands of yuan."
