Watching the cicada monkey in the bucket almost overflowing the edge of the bucket and crawling out, the four of them had the joy of harvest on their faces.
From morning to evening, Cao Shuchao and the four of them made many arrests. Each of them caught more than half a bucket, and together they made more than two buckets.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they came over and took the three buckets of cicada monkeys to Cao Shujie, but Cao Shujie stopped them: "Brother Chao, you can just take them back and eat them."
"That's not okay. This is too much. Besides, they were all caught in the orchard. This is yours!" Cao Shuchao shook his head and said nothing.
When Cao Shujie heard what they said, he changed his statement: "Then each of you take a bag home and taste it, and give me the rest."
"Also, when you go back, tell your aunt and sister-in-law that I'm hiring people to catch monkeys here, and I'll give you ten cents for each one caught," he said.
Looking at the khaki cicada monkey in the bucket and thinking about frying it into a golden plate at noon, Cao Shujie sighed with emotion, this is a living golden cicada!
Cao Shuchao and the four of them were stunned. After coming back to their senses, Zhu Shengliang asked: "Boss, can I ask my wife to arrest you?"
"Yes, I charge piecework here, and each piece is worth 1 cent." Cao Shujie said.
These cicada monkeys were all in his orchard, but Cao Shujie finally understood that he was too busy and had to find someone else to catch them for him.
The fee of one dime per piece is not low.
Cao Shujie is not a free man.
When he makes money, he will not let others make money, just like Zhou Peipei.
But Cao Shujie really had no intention of selling what he caught today. He was thinking of washing it after going back, putting it in bottles and freezing it in the refrigerator.
There were so many that Cao Shujie thought he had to buy a special freezer to store these cicada monkeys.
When he mentioned this idea to his wife, Cheng Xiaolin immediately gave him a thumbs up: "You are really good at it. How much do you want to save? Can you save enough to buy a freezer?"
"Save as much as you can and keep it for you to eat." Cao Shujie said with a smile.
When Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband say this, her face was as gentle as her fierce look.
After returning home, Cao Shujie washed out the cicada monkeys he had just caught, only to find that the bottles were not enough.
And his refrigerator is also full. He was joking with his wife just now, but now he has to buy a freezer.
"Shujie, I think it's better to give the extra money to your grandfathers today and share it with your uncle's family. We'll have all the bottles and freezers ready by tomorrow. It won't be too late to save more." Cao Jianguo said.
"Okay." Cao Shujie agreed happily.
That night, Cao Shujie divided the washed cicadas into plastic bags and packaged them individually. Several elders in Wufu gave some to their families.
These uncles did not expect that there would be so many cicada monkeys in Cao Shujie's orchard, and they were very happy after taking them over.
Cao Jianfang also asked him whether he would participate in next month's election.
"Uncle Fang, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well..." Cao Shujie said.
Before he finished speaking, Cao Jianfang interrupted him: "Shujie, a manly man, why are you so afraid of the east and the west?"
"Besides, why can't you do it well? Aren't you doing pretty well in your own orchard?"
"Let me tell you, you just think too much, there is really no need." Cao Jianfang said to him: "Let's talk to each other, no matter how bad you are, you can still do better than that bastard Gao Weimin, right?
"
Cao Shujie chuckled. According to what Cao Jianfang said, he would definitely do a better job than Gao Weimin.
…
On the other side, Cao Shuchao returned home and handed the cicada monkey he brought back to his wife.
"Where did you get them?" Ma Wenqian was curious when she saw so many cicada monkeys.
"They were caught in the orchard. There were a lot of them popping up today," Cao Shuchao said.
"By the way, one more thing. Shujie told us that you can go to the orchard to catch cicada monkeys. He will give you a piece rate of ten cents each. The price is not low. Do you want to go?" Cao Shuchao asked his wife.
Ma Wenqian was very excited when she heard the price. She asked: "Is it real or fake? If you catch one, you will be given a dime?"
"You bitch, when did Shujie's words not count?" Cao Shuchao said a little unhappy: "They are all true."
Ma Wenqian couldn't see him like this, so she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Okay, don't look like that donkey of yours. You just have nothing to do at home. I'll follow you to catch some tomorrow, and I'll earn you a dollar if you can."
"That's enough." Cao Shuchao went to wash his face and get ready to eat.
At the same time, similar things were happening at the homes of Zhuang Xuesong, Zhu Shengliang and Cao Jianjun.
For Zhang Hong, Cao Hongyan and Jiang Hongying, they are happy to find a job to make money, even if it is a temporary job.
These days, money is not so easy to earn.
Going to pick apples for Gao Weimin only costs 40 yuan for 10 hours a day, which is far less than working for Cao Shujie.
While sleeping at night, Cao Shujie suddenly heard more and more "squeaking" sounds, which meant that many cicada monkeys crawled out of the ground and became cicadas.
Mengmeng heard the cry of cicadas outside. She couldn't sleep on the bed, rolled over and over, and asked her father: "Dad, let's go catch the cicada monkeys."
This afternoon, when I caught a cicada monkey and treated it in the orchard on the mountain, Mengmeng was a little scared at first.
But when she took a live one, she suddenly realized that the thing was not as scary as she thought, and it couldn't cause her more serious harm. Mengmeng became excited.
Anyone crawling on the ground must be caught by her and put into the bucket, otherwise she will not be finished.
"We'll catch him again tomorrow," Cao Shujie said to his daughter.
Mengmeng was a little reluctant after hearing this, but looking at the darkness outside, she didn't dare to go out.
"Dad, sleep!" Mengmeng lay on the bed and made a "whirring" sound from her little mouth. But not long after, she opened her eyes and looked at her father and then her mother, with a look of disgust on her little face.
Xi expression.
Cao Shujie's face turned dark: "Mengmeng, go to bed quickly, or I won't take you out tomorrow."
"Huh, huh, huh..." Mengmeng turned around again, facing the wall, and the "huhu" sound from her mouth became louder.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't need to look to know that her daughter was pretending to sleep. She said, "Mengmeng, if you don't want to sleep, go out and play."
…
The next morning, Ma Wenqian, Zhang Hong, Cao Hongyan, and Jiang Hongying all followed their men to Cao Shujie's orchard.
On the way up the mountain, they heard the chirping of cicadas one after another.
There were a lot more cicada cries today than yesterday.
Before it even started, Mengmeng's sharp eyes found a cicada monkey that had just emerged on the ground. She ran over, grabbed the exposed head, and pulled it out of the ground.
"Dad, look, I caught one." Mengmeng shouted proudly.
When Cao Shujie saw it, he gave his daughter a thumbs up: "Mengmeng is so awesome."
"Hey!" Mengmeng held the newly dug cicada monkey in her hand. She was not afraid of the cicada monkey pinching her hand with its front paws. She was having a good time.
Ma Wenqian and the others have already gone to work in the orchard.
Women are attentive. Cao Shujie and other bad guys haven't opened their business today. Zhang Hong, the faster one among the women, has already arrested five or six of them.
After watching her earn a dollar in a short time, Ma Wenqian, Cao Hongyan and Jiang Hongying were all envious and looked for her even more energetically.
"Sister-in-law, how did you find her so quickly?" Zhuang Xuesong's wife Cao Hongyan also asked her.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Please observe more!"
"Listen carefully to the sound," she said.
Before noon, Wang Leigang got the news. He went directly to Cao Shujie and asked him what to do with these cicada monkeys and cicadas?
"Boss Wang, do you accept it? If not, I'll see who accepts it and sell it to him directly," Cao Shujie said.
What Wang Leigang was waiting for was Cao Shujie's words, and he immediately decided: "I will accept as much as there is."
"As for the price, neither of us are outsiders. You have a lot of cicadas here, so I charge 50 cents each." Wang Leigang said.
When he bought it, there were only 30 pieces per plate. According to this calculation, the cost was only 15 yuan. But he processed it in the restaurant and resold it for 40 yuan at the cheapest price.
This is because his restaurant is in a town. If it were located in the county, it would cost 50 yuan at least for a plate. More expensive ones would be endless.
Therefore, for Wang Leigang, he dared to accept as many cicadas as Cao Shujie had here. At worst, he would freeze some of them and slowly ship them out later.
When the time comes, because others don’t have it, it’s unique here, so the price can be higher.
"Boss Cao, in addition to this cicada monkey, I will get three more cows from you." Wang Leigang said.
Cao Shujie nodded, and the remaining 36 beef cattle were prepared for Wang Leigang.
The cicada monkey in the orchard is a completely unexpected source of wealth.
As time goes by, the temperature gets higher and higher, and the "squeak" sound in Cao Shujie's orchard becomes louder and louder, becoming continuous.
In some areas with dense trees in Caojiazhuang, cicada cicadas are shouting more and more, making it so noisy that no one can sleep at night.
Because of this, more and more people come out at night with net bags, buckets, flashlights and bamboo poles with small nets to catch monkeys.
Perhaps it was because there was a farm restaurant in Caojiazhuang itself. After these people caught the cicada monkeys, they directly sold them to Boss Wang.
Wang Leigang only offered these individual customers a purchase price of 40 cents each at most.
Someone took the purchase price in the county as an example and told Wang Leigang that Pingyuan County charged 5 cents a piece, but Wang Leigang remained unmoved.
Cao Shujie's Zhizhihou side was already very large. After Zhizhihou acquired more, Wang Leigang felt more confident.
Cao Shujie later found out about this through his parents, but Cao Shujie didn't say anything about the purchase price given by Wang Leigang.
He did hold shares in the Nongjia Restaurant, but he promised Wang Leigang that he would not participate in the management of the Nongjia Restaurant.
The Caojiazhuang Village Committee also does not participate in the management of farm restaurants. This is to ensure that farm restaurants can develop in a better way.
Otherwise, if there are two or three voices in one place, sooner or later one of them will die.
In this constant busyness, every day in June seems to be very fulfilling.
Xu Yunhua's wedding photo studio would bring over a dozen couples to Cao Shujie every once in a while.
At this time, Cao Shujie will have an income from venue usage fees.
According to the number of people who came, the price ranged from more than 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan each time. What Cao Shujie did not expect was that after these people came, without strawberries, they turned their attention to the cicada monkey, which also made Cao Shujie
The business of Cao Shujie’s orchard has never been interrupted.
It’s just that the income from this thing is not as high as that from strawberries.
Before I knew it, early to mid-June passed.
The kiwis in the old orchard are growing bigger and bigger, each one is a little bigger than a goose egg.
At this time, it was time for Cao Shujie to prepare for picking kiwi fruits.
It is worth mentioning that the video made by Cheng Xiaolin really became popular after it was recommended on the first-level page of Youku.com.
First of all, this video is so new. Before this, there was no similar subject matter on the Internet.
Secondly, the narration of the entries in the video is very interesting.
It allows people who have been busy for a day to watch the video, laugh a few times and relax themselves after a break.
Also with the spread of this video, many people on the Internet know that the kiwis in Mengmeng Orchard will mature next month.
Because the planting area of these kiwi fruits is limited, the output of only a few acres of land this year has made many netizens on the Internet clamor to come and pick kiwi fruits in advance.
Many of them have eaten the strawberries grown by Cao Shujie, but they are very curious about the kiwis and apples in Cao Shujie's orchard. They wonder how they taste? Are they as delicious as the rumors say?
Cao Shujie was in the mountains that day. After finishing his work, he rode his electric bike down the mountain road, preparing to go home.
But just as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Cao Shujie suddenly heard the sound of an ambulance siren. When he turned around, he saw an ambulance roaring past from north to south.
At that moment, Cao Shujie was curious, whose family called the ambulance?
But the ambulance had long since disappeared.
Cao Shujie didn't take it seriously. He rode his electric bike back home and saw his wife washing Mengmeng's clothes in the yard. Cao Shujie told his wife what happened just now.
Cheng Xiaolin was also puzzled: "I haven't heard of it."
"Honey, where are our grandfather and Mengmeng?" Cao Shujie didn't hear his daughter's movements, nor did he see his grandfather. He was curious about what they were doing.
Cheng Xiaolin raised her foamy hand, pointed to the door and said, "Grandpa just took Mengmeng out."
After hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie didn't care. He said, "My body is all sweaty. I'll go to the second floor to take a shower and change clothes."
"Go ahead. When you come down later, you can take the money back to Lu Chu!"
More than 20 minutes later, Cao Shujie finished taking a shower, changed clothes, and came down from the second floor.
As soon as he came down, Cao Shujie saw his daughter running in from outside, screaming.
"Dad is not good, grandma asked for an ambulance to take him away." Mengmeng said anxiously.
When Cao Shujie heard what his daughter said, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The dirty clothes he was holding fell directly to the ground. Cao Shujie ran over quickly and asked his daughter: "Mengmeng, what happened to your grandma? Such a big thing happened, why didn't they call me?"
Cao Zhenghu, who followed in later, said: "Shujie, don't think blindly. Your mother is fine. It was your grandma Zhengting who was taken away by the car."
"I..." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter's innocent face and always wanted to beat her up and vent her anger.
"Grandpa, what happened to my grandma Zhengting? Doesn't she want to go to the hospital for treatment?" Cao Shujie asked out of curiosity.
The expression on Cao Zhenghu's face was not relaxed. He said: "I just heard about gastric cancer. Your grandma Zhengting was afraid of burdening the family, so she secretly took a lot of sleeping pills."
The eldest brother has a cough, the second brother has a fever and faints, please write 9300 first.
