It was only 6 o'clock when we arrived in town.

Yi Shaofeng couldn't move when he saw the only shop in the town that sold steamed buns, although he drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, he thought that the urine just now had taken everything. Dad saw his drooling gluttony, so he reluctantly walked over and bought 1 yuan of steamed buns.

Do you believe it? 1 yuan 10 big meat buns, all of them have thin skin and thick meat, the conscience of the decision, 1 yuan and 1 bun before rebirth can't be compared with this, and I won't worry about poor meat or unknown meat, properly good pork filling.

With his own combat strength, he couldn't eat 5 of them. Hand the remaining 5 to Dad, Dad ate 3 and left 2, this is because he is worried that he will be hungry on the road, or he will say that his father's love is like a mountain.

When they arrived in the provincial capital, my father followed his guidance, and the two went straight to the medicinal herb market. found the talkative boss yesterday, and lit up the scorpion, and the other party really became interested. They were much more advanced, and the two of them took a bamboo clip and counted them quickly, and the scorpions that had been counted were thrown into a basket made of dense bamboo.

There are a total of 627, only 51 small ones, and the others have reached the big standard, selling for 245 yuan and 7 cents, and the boss is very generous and gave 246 yuan. Yi Shaofeng confirmed the demand with him again, and the reply he got was that he would receive as much as he wanted.

Yi Shaofeng didn't know why scorpions were so in demand this year? Anyway, in his impression, he only accepted them for one year this year, and no one accepted them again the next year.

I'm not in a hurry to go back, since I've come to the provincial capital, my father will definitely go to see my uncle. At the nearby vegetable market, my father bought a piece of meat and a piece of tofu, and he was very satisfied with it, and there was pork stewed tofu at noon. Passing by the area where dry ingredients are sold, he was attracted by the unique fragrance of the ingredients, and suddenly thought that there was a business to do, and the cost was not high, so he dragged his father to buy some ingredients.

After all, the business of scorpions is not a long-term solution, it can only solve urgent needs, and it must have a stable source of income.

When I arrived at the uncle, he was cooking on a honeycomb coal stove. He was very happy to see the two of them coming, and the uncle liked him very much, because according to the uncle's concept, the two brothers inherited the incense as a boy. When I was a child, I often heard my uncle say that the dates on the tree are full of trees, and I expect you to become popular alone. In his previous life, he may have disappointed his uncle, but he never said it.

To the uncle, the father did not hide anything, and told all the business opportunities he found, and the uncle was very happy to hear that there was such an entry. At noon, I drank a bottle of liquor with my father.

When I got home in the afternoon, my father went to the field again. For a simple farmer, even if he has a fortune of tens of millions, he cannot let the land be wasted.

My mother took the money that my father gave her, so the chickens were killed happily at night. A plate of braised chicken is freshly baked, the real chicken, even the bones can be chewed and swallowed, and it is a mother's brand, he has been eating until his stomach is round before stopping, anyway, he has to catch scorpions at night, and he is not afraid to save food.

At about the same time yesterday, my father took him to my uncle's house and handed the money to my uncle, who exclaimed: "Really done?", it turned out that he was also holding the mentality of trying it yesterday, anyway, even if it doesn't work, there is no loss. But I really looked at the more than 100 yuan in my hand and believed that it was true.

In the evening, the enthusiasm of the three was even higher, and they were caught until the early hours of the morning. After 12 o'clock, as the dew increases, the scorpion is basically gone, and the habit of the scorpion is afraid of moisture.

The three caught more, almost a thousand. The current scorpion is much more real, no one cares about it, and there are not many natural enemies, and it is durable, so a dilapidated old house may be able to turn out hundreds.

The scorpion should be the animal that can live the longest on an empty stomach, and it can not die for two years without eating or drinking, think about how terrifying it is. And its feeding cycle is also very long, generally more than 7 days, about 14 days.

When he came back at night, he asked his father to wait to enter the house, otherwise he would talk in the house and make his mother sleep, as for the two sisters, it is estimated that the firecrackers will not wake up now.

"Dad, we can't catch it like this, sooner or later we will be found out by the villagers, don't say anything, just rely on our family and my aunt's family, how much can we catch in a day. And you and your aunt have to be busy with farming during the day, so you can't stay up like this all the time. ”

"You kid has a lot to do, so what do you say?"

Dad lit a cigarette again.

"You see that this is feasible, you can go to the village chief tomorrow and tell him that my family will buy scorpions. Cash settlement, the big one is 2 cents 5, and the small one is 2 cents, so that everyone in the village has an income, and we and my sister-in-law's family will not make less money. Two days ago, the village chief was still worried about the agricultural tax, and if this matter needs to be done well, the agricultural tax of each family can be almost earned. ”

"I also thought about it, but I was afraid that people would follow us and run to the provincial capital. ”

It took a little effort to give my dad an economics lesson and answer all the questions he asked. Dad finally agreed, hello, I'm good, everyone's good thing.

The next day, my father did not go to sell the scorpions, but told the village chief about it. Sure enough, the village chief almost jumped up. Dad reminded again, don't let people from other villages get involved, people who go to other villages to catch scorpions, it's best to go after 9 o'clock in the evening, now the farming is busy, people work hard to sleep early, even if they are discovered, they say that someone in the village wants to make wine.

The father, the village chief, and the little uncle notified the whole village in one day. Yi Shaofeng called his cousin during the day, and the two went to town, negotiated the price, and approved a batch of batteries back, and the village will consume a lot of money next, although it can't make any money, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and the father is probably embarrassed to recycle the money.

That night, there were two cases of quarrels over catching scorpions. The man didn't care, and ran to someone's yard to catch it, but they were definitely not happy, and he didn't have enough to catch it. He didn't bother to care, this was the matter of the village chief's uncle.

As a result, early the next morning, the number of scorpions sent reached a terrifying 10,000. A few young people knew that the village was the hardest hit area, and they actually ran more than ten kilometers at the farthest.

Obviously, the family can't come up with the money, but after saying that the cash settlement, it is not easy to explain if you can't see the money. Fortunately, my father still has a little thin noodles in the village, and they are all from the village, and they know everything about everyone, so they can understand. Just this father and little uncle still pooled half of the money, and each family sent a little bit.

Everyone was overjoyed, this was free money, and it was only two batteries. Even if the De'an family (father's name) can't afford to pay the other half, he earns it.

This time, my father obviously couldn't do it alone, and my uncle also participated, packed it in a glass bottle, and tied it with gauze outside, so that it wouldn't suffocate to death, picked up two burdens, and set off for the provincial capital again.
