Rural incomes are low, and smoking is counted by the roots.
"Xiaobei heard that you have gone to university, you are doing well. Sigh, don't stay in the countryside, otherwise, you will never be able to do well in your entire life."
Looking at Zhuo Xiaomai who had gone to pour water, Zhuo Mantun revealed a bitter expression. What conditions does his family have?
Bai Xiaobei knew that it was hard to earn money now, so he looked at the busy Zhuo Xiaomai and laughed: "Uncle, there's one more thing I want to do, and that is that a few people from my village are here to pick up Mountain Rat s, Bamboo Rat s, snakes, and bullfrogs. The Mountain Rat weighs one catty one hundred and one per catty, the Bamboo Rat weighs one hundred and ninety percent, and Da Zhuang sold a snake for more than a thousand.
"What?" Someone offered such a high price for that thing? "
Zhuo Mantun was shocked, the teacup he had just picked up started to shake, even the Mountain Rat s were taken? He had heard that there were people who wanted to take it, but the price was too low and it was difficult to capture. Thus, no one bothered with it.
Zhuo Xiaomai was also surprised: "Right now, the ground is full of Ox Frogs and Frogs, there are also a lot of Mountain Rat and Bamboo Rat. If we catch them, we will definitely catch a lot, is there really someone taking them?"
"Yes!" It's right in front of my house! " Bai Xiaobei drank some water and said, "You all can go take a look now. Everyone in our village is catching them, and it's very easy to get lucky for five hundred and one thousand people in one day. Even if it's children, there are some who are selling it for a few hundred yuan."
In the past, they were only playing around. If his parents saw him now, they would teach him a lesson, and even beat him up. Right now, he was extremely happy to earn money, and it was much better than catching a loach eel or eel.
Zhuo Mantun hadn't worked for the past few days, and went to take care of the land everyday. He was anxious to death.
"Xiaobei, is that true?"
It was normal if he didn't believe it. How much money did the countryside earn in a day? Money is so easy to earn?
"Really." Bai Xiaobei confirmed: "Uncle, you are also someone I know in our village. You can just call me and you will know, but I doubt if you can get through. Right now, let alone children, even some old people have gone up the mountain to block the rat's cave."
Zhuo Mantun stood up and walked around, he thought for a bit and said, "I'll go look for my brother first, we'll go first and earn a sum from our clans."
In a moment, Bai Xiaobei understood what he meant and nodded: "Uncle, you guys go ahead first, I'm just here to deliver the books, but tomorrow they will probably hear about it and there will be more people."
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Zhuo Mantun revealed his yellowish teeth: "Wheat, play with your classmates for a while, I'll go find your uncle and the others. If your mother comes back, don't let her uncle go out for now."
Zhuo Xiaomai's face turned red, and without saying a word, Zhuo Mantun had already anxiously pushed the cart out.
Bai Xiaobei was sure that he was going to take a look at his own door to confirm something, but he would not care about that.
Looking at the blushing Zhuo Xiaomai, Bai Xiaobei laughed out loud. "You were the same as a fake brat in the past, how come you have become a lady now?"
Zhuo Xiaomai looked at Bai Xiaobei with a red face, then turned and carried the books. Bai Xiaobei followed him to help, the books were not light at all.
"He really gave it all to me?"
Zhuo Xiaomai was holding onto a math book and she couldn't bear to let go of it. Her little sister was the same as her, she hadn't even finished middle school yet, and her big brother was in vocational high school and never came back with a book. She asked for a few times and only brought a few books, while throwing the rest away.
Bai Xiaobei organized his thoughts, and looked at Zhuo Xiaomai: "You probably won't have time to read for the next few days, but I think you should take this time to earn more money. When you have time, you should be able to learn well."
"En!" Zhuo Xiaomai happily nodded: Thank you, Xiaobei.
"You're welcome." He shook his head and said, "You used to help me a lot. Why are you being polite with me?"
Looking at the sky outside, Bai Xiaobei stood up and said, "I need to go back quickly, otherwise my mom will be nagging again.
"Mn, Xiaobei, slow down a little."
She was too embarrassed to stay, so she followed Bai Xiaobei out with a reddened face.
Zhuo Xiaomi quietly came behind her and said, "Sis, it's time to cook. He's gone. Are your eyes still tired? Why don't we go to the main road and take a look? "
let her blush from embarrassment. Zhuo Xiaomai pinched her: "Let's cook together. Don't even think about sleeping tonight!"
"Hee hee!" Zhuo Xiaomi laughed, "I just heard it. We need to catch bullfrogs tonight. Hehe, there are so many in the paddy fields. We can definitely catch quite a number of them tonight!"
Sure enough, Zhuo Mantun came back later with an excited look on his face: "Quickly, quickly, get something to eat. It's getting late, let's go and catch the Mountain Rat and Bamboo Rat first.
Behind him, Zhuo Mancang had a face full of shock: "Good boy, this scholar's brain is good, I'll call my cousin. My cousin is already seventy years old, but is also trying to find Bamboo Rat s.
"Didn't you see? How much do you think a three jin big Bamboo Rat would sell for? It was almost three hundred yuan, and it's the youngest son of Cave Fang, the one who was caught in his teens! "
The family did not dare to speak loudly. If they had made a day's worth of money earlier, they would have captured all the way through the afternoon and night. With so much land now, they would definitely be able to capture a lot.
When Bai Xiaobei returned home, he saw many Shadow s along the way. Whether or not there were people cheering and laughing loudly, there were naturally people cursing as well. All of the rats on the mountain had suffered.
Ann Ke sat there smoking, happily watching the Mountain Rat s, Bamboo Rat s, and occasional snakes that were continuously being collected.
A slightly black girl ran in front of Bai Xiaobei, with a bag in hand, she reached out and took out two Bamboo Rat s that were tied up.
"Er Niu, was this dug out by your brother? This is going to take a lot of time! "
Bai Xiaobei looked at the two fat Bamboo Rat s and was surprised. There was still mud on the Bamboo Rat's body.
Er Niu was Da Zhuang's sister. Looking at the astonished and envious gazes around her, she immediately said happily, "These were caught by me, my mother, and my sister. My brother dug these holes for me, and it took a long time for us to dig them out."
The Bamboo Rat lived alone, and it would take at least an hour to find one big Bamboo Rat.
Throwing away the cigarette butt, Ann Ke took it and weighed it in his hands as he grinned, "This mountain is full of treasures, it's four catties and two taels, count it as four catties, it's three hundred and sixty yuan."
The two Bamboo Rat struggled with all they had, but unfortunately, they were firmly tied up and could only put into their cages while struggling.
Er Niu was laughing so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open. This money was so easy to earn. She had already made money by digging up mice. Without saying anything further, she turned around and ran away. She wasn't stupid.
"Big brother Ann Ke, you guys are collecting money at such a high price, are you making money?"
After looking at it for a while, Bai Xiaobei felt that it was a little strange, this thing could be sold for more than a hundred catties each. After removing the skin and removing the internal organs, the remaining one could only be sold for more than half a catty.
Ann Ke, who was holding onto a yellow snake and was looking around, raised his head and laughed: "We are not idiots, in our hands, selling it would earn us many times the profit, and maybe even more than ten times the profit. Let's say this snake, a hundred and fifty yuan is worth it, but in order to get it done, it should at least be a thousand dollars."
Seeing Ann Ke throw the snake meat into the bag, Bai Xiaobei stretched out his thumb and said, "Black!"
He suddenly thought of the bullfrog. It was not as easy to catch a bullfrog during the day as at night, and the bullfrog was definitely not as expensive as the Mountain Rat. In the past, those who picked up the bullfrog would only get 5 yuan per catty.
If they didn't sleep that night, they would catch four to five catties and sell them for two hundred and thirty catties. That wasn't enough for sleeping during the day, so they weren't stupid. After all, they knew that the people of Bullfrog City ate.
"Brother Ann Ke, what price do you guys want to take from the Ox Frogs?"
In the fields, there were too many frogs and ox-frogs. The night in the countryside was filled with the sound of frogs. Most people would not be able to sleep here.
"35 pounds. Of course, I don't want the small ones, not the frogs. I only want the bullfrogs."
Bullfrog can eat, frog cannot eat. Bullfrog is delicious, nutritious, contains high protein, low fat, cholesterol and very low food, frog is different.
Bai Xiaobei's Little Uncle had accidentally eaten wrongly previously, but he was poisoned and stayed in the hospital for a few days.
The most simple thing was that the bullfrog was big, about three pounds of weight. The skin on its back was flat, without any wrinkles, and the frog was a little rough, with stripes on its limbs. If it wasn't skinned, the child would be able to recognize it.
At night, the same cries as those of the Calf could be heard. This was the bullfrog.
"Good boy, don't sleep tonight, I can sell you two for two hundred yuan a night? This thing is easy to catch, no, I have to go back and recharge the battery. "
As for the day, the frog was not very deep, so he could just reach out and touch it. But snakes like to drill into the hole of the frog, without leather gloves or leather boots, so it was better to strike 120 the same time as catching the frog. Maybe if the snake bit the frog, it could still do it then …
The price of a Bullfrog made everyone extremely happy. Hunting for snakes and rats during the day, and catching a Bullfrog during the night — this was easy and profitable.
"Catching bullfrogs is fine. Put on your boots and gloves. These are worthless. Erhe's just selling Boots and Gloves at home. Spend some money to make sure nothing happens. There are plenty of poisonous snakes in the area, so don't take your life as a joke."
Third Grandpa was worried, he reminded everyone. After all, there were people who would get bitten by snakes when they were farming. It was more likely that they would encounter snakes when they went to catch bullfrogs at night.
