ps: Thank you to Little White Bear for the reward, and thank you to tongxiang for your monthly ticket support. I am dizzy, there was a thunderstorm, there was a power outage, and it is a little late. I will try my best to guarantee a 10,000-word update.
……………
The small mountain village in the early morning is quiet and peaceful. The time is at a quarter past five, and most people have not gotten up yet. The sky is gray and green, the river is still flowing, and the fallen leaves on the mountain are holding back the rainwater that slowly flows in.
Dahe. The alarm on his cell phone was beeping. Li Feng groped for a while with his eyes closed, exhaled, and rubbed his eyes.
"Baby, Qiqi, wake up." Li Feng woke up a few little ones. It was not bright at the moment. Several confused little guys followed Li Feng, who was also a little sleepy. They started to take advantage of the gray sky and no sunlight.
On a snail-catching trip on a haystack, the surface of the haystack looks no different. It is still the same as yesterday, but there is a little more dew. The rocks have been affected by the rain, and the steam and mist are rising. The entire top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain are thick with water mist. The humidity in the mountain
The air became heavier, and the dew was slightly cold, which stimulated several people and lifted their spirits.
"Dad, are there any snails?" The baby rubbed his eyes and staggered. This girl has never woken up so early before. It's past five o'clock, and now everyone in the city is soaring in their dreams. The cute girl beside her
and bells, Qi Qi waited with wide eyes, Li Feng chuckled.
"Don't worry, you'll see snails soon." Li Feng saw a few snails hanging out on the edge of the grass, and he knew there might be snails down there. As for how many, he really didn't know. There were weeds and dead branches.
Taking some bit by bit, a few snails would appear from time to time, waiting for the dolls nearby to throw them into their own little buckets.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The baby was stunned when he saw Li Feng holding the last armful of dead branches and weeds. The scene in front of him was really mind-numbing. Countless bugs were squirming in Li Feng's eyes, not only
There are so many snails, earthworms, and all kinds of earthworms that it is unbelievable.
"It's okay, come and have a look." Li Feng was originally afraid of the children, but he knew that seeing so many snails, the children were pleasantly surprised, especially the baby who knew that snails could be sold for money, so he took the lead and scooped up the little snails.
In his own little iron bucket, Li Feng saw his little daughter sticking out her little butt and looking so cute, standing beside him and was very happy.
"Uncle, it's amazing. The cute little buckets are almost full." Several children quickly cleaned up the snails and snails on the ground. Most of the small iron buckets were filled, and Li Feng weighed them.
, this bucket weighs only five or six kilograms, and four children weighs more than twenty kilograms. This is just a pile of hay, so what is left, Li Feng couldn't help but be startled when he thought, he already has so much here, not
How about knowing where the grove is? But for sure, there are just a lot more snails there.
"Let's go back. The small bucket can't fit in it." Manying saw Li Feng leading a few children around and then came back. She thought she had forgotten the tools. "What's wrong? What did you leave behind?"
"
"No, it's just that there are more snails than I thought." Li Feng smiled and shook his head. The baby next to him was very excited. His little iron bucket was full, and his father said that he could buy it for more than ten yuan. "Auntie, you
Look, our small bucket is full, and daddy comes back to get the big bucket." Manying saw the snails in the small iron bucket that the baby was feeling, and her throat felt uncomfortable. The surprised expression on her face made the baby very happy.
proud.
Man Ying saw her usually silent and timid son pulling at the corner of her clothes and holding up the iron bucket in his hand. The content inside was much smaller than the baby's. "Li Feng, were these all caught in the haystack?"
"Yes, and it's a haystack. I didn't expect there to be so many snails. It seems the situation is more serious than I imagined." Li Feng didn't know whether he should be happy at this time or what. With so many snails, although he could buy some money
, but the harm in crop fields is not small.
"Ah, a haystack? How is that possible?" Man Ying looked shocked. She had thought that so many people were caught in several haystacks. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't lose her composure. But so many people were caught in one haystack, six
A haystack, not hundreds of kilograms of snails. No wonder Manying opened her mouth in shock. Li Fengxin said, there are still few here, and the remaining nests are the bulk.
"Haha, no, no more, baby, please quickly pour the snails into the water tank." Li Feng also has an old water tank here, which is slightly cracked and can no longer hold water. It is used at this time.
It was just right to hold the snails. With a few radishes, he laboriously lifted up his small bucket and poured the snails into the water tank. Li Feng found a wooden board to cover it. Li Feng went there this time, but he had more equipment, a snakeskin bag,
He also carried a big bucket, which shouldn't be a big problem after thinking about it. Manying saw it and helped Li Feng, "I'm going to take a look. Yesterday Xiaoman was talking about the snail thing. How did you negotiate the price?" Manying helped Li Feng.
Carrying the bucket, he walked and said.
"The price has been roughly decided, three yuan per pound. They still want to see the goods to determine the specific price, but it is roughly around three yuan." Li Feng was chatting with Li Xiaoman about this matter last night.
Liu Jing and Xu Ran kept the price very low and originally planned to pay only two yuan. However, due to Li Xiaoman's reasons and the influence of the last number, the three of them negotiated for three yuan and then looked at the goods for details.
"Three yuan is not bad. This doesn't mean that Baobao and the others have already earned ten or twenty yuan. This is too easy." Man Ying said and turned around to see Baobao and the other children with their chests puffed out and their faces full.
Proud, head raised and steps forward, big eyes watery with a hint of pride.
"Dad, Auntie, can you walk faster? What will happen if the little snail runs home after eating for a while?" Li Feng saw the little girl speaking seriously, but now he even thought that he was walking too slowly. He was really impatient.
Li Feng and Man Ying looked at each other and smiled. They quickened their pace to catch up with the anxious child. Fortunately, the haystack was not far from the peach forest. After a while, Li Feng and others came to the second haystack. This time, Li Feng
Not bit by bit, I just moved the hay pile over and exposed the small pit at the bottom. Not to mention the dense snails inside, there was also a hedgehog. Where did this thing come from?
Li Feng didn't care too much and picked up a branch and threw it aside. The children no longer used their little hands and scooped it up directly with small buckets. The densely packed snails filled most of the bucket. This time it was bigger than the first haystack.
Much more.
After more than half an hour, Li Feng and Man Ying were already numb. A snakeskin bag was full, buckets were full, and several small iron buckets were also used. The group of people slowly returned to Taolin.
There were so many snails, but several children were exhausted. Each small bucket weighed seven to eight pounds. Although the journey from the grove was not very far, it was already a long march for five or six-year-old children.
"Baby, please get up and wash your hands quickly. Remember to use soap." Li Feng rarely uses things like Fat Boy and dish soap, but this time his hands are covered with snail mucus. It is difficult to wash it off without Fat Boy.
Manying smiled at Li Feng, turned around and scooped water, helped several children, and washed her tender white hands. Li Feng would now pour the snails in the snakeskin bag and the snails in the bucket into the water tank, filling most of the tank. Li Feng estimated
This time there are at least more than 200 kilograms of snails. This is because I have set up too few nests. If I set up more nests and get more spring water, there may be more than a thousand kilograms of snails. The more Li Feng thought about it, the hotter he became. That would not be possible overnight.
You can get thousands of dollars. How much does it cost for one month or two months? Li Feng then shook his head. He was really whimsical. Not to mention whether there were so many snails, other people wouldn't nest in them if they saw them.
.
"What are you thinking about stupidly, where is Mengmeng?" Xiaoqing saw Li Feng standing in front of the door from a distance. He giggled for a while and frowned for a while. What was this man daydreaming about so early in the morning?
"You're washing your hands inside. You got up very early today?" Li Feng pointed to the yard and wiped his sweat. He was just imagining a better life.
"What do you mean? I wasn't early that day. You said I look like a lazy person." Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Li Feng with dissatisfaction, stepped on her sandals and tapped the ground, and walked into the small courtyard.
"Yes, yes, you get up early every day." Li Feng didn't want to argue with women. In the end, he was not justified in this matter. These girls were unreasonable and couldn't make three points. It was a waste of time to argue with them.
Meaning, catch more bugs on this fine morning and sell them for money.
"Ah, aunt, you're here. How much do you think Mengmeng earned today?" Mengmeng wiped her hands and was chewing a small melon. When she saw her aunt coming, she hurried over and said proudly.
Push out your little chest.
"Making money? Catching lobsters, or catching cicadas?" Xiao Qing was stunned. This girl really made a lot of money during this period. Yesterday, she secretly counted it and it was almost three hundred. Really, this can't be said.
No one believed it. A five-year-old child made money by himself. Xiaoqing thought that when he went back, he had to show off to his friends. These two were really aunts and nieces, but Xiaoqing guessed wrong at this time. "Haha, it's not lobster.
I understand, Auntie, you must not have guessed it."
"Aren't these fireflies? Does anyone want to buy this?" Xiao Qing saw that she had finished speaking, and everyone laughed. What's wrong? Did she say it wrong? I was really puzzled. Xiao Qing opened her eyes wide and looked at a few people.
A little carrot, she turned around and saw Man Ying smiling and helping her child wipe her face with a towel.
"They are talking about snails. The children just caught a lot of snails." Manying smiled and nodded. The baby with a clean face next to her raised her hands and said loudly, "Baby knows, dad said mom."
There are also many pet shops that buy snails to feed small fish, and they cost three yuan a pound."
"Three yuan? It's cheaper than lobsters. How many can you catch?" Xiao Qing was stunned. She really wanted someone to buy something, but the snails are a little big, how much a pound. It's better to catch some cicadas and lobsters.
"Uncle said that if one person divides twenty kilograms, Mengmeng earns sixty yuan." Mengmeng spent a long time counting on her fingers to calculate this. This summer, Mengmeng's arithmetic level has improved sharply. In order not to suffer losses, she must calculate accurately.
No matter how much money she makes, the little girl is very careful.
"What? Twenty pounds per person? Really?" Xiaoqing turned her head to look at Manying in disbelief. Seeing Manying nodding, she was a little incredulous and muttered, "How is it possible? How is it possible? There are so many snails."
