302.Tribal Activities (1/10)
Jill Allan Poe was also quite complacent about his inventions, telling Yang that he had registered his patents online and that the next thing to do was to promote the products.
Listening to his words, Yang Shubao asked, "Wait, your tribe has a network?"
"There is electricity, water and internet, but electricity is generators, water is well water, the network comes from signal towers, we don't have fiber optics or network cables, only mobile phones or wireless network cards can access the Internet. Jill said casually.
Yang Shubao said: "You have a signal tower here?"
"Yes, every Zulu tribe has a signal tower, which is a resource given to us by the state. ”
This made Yang Shubao very angry, why didn't the country of Mader give the resort town this kind of resource?
Today is not to discuss the issue of resource allocation, he asked Jill how to catch centipedes, and then pointed to Zhang Jinjie and said: "My guy likes to eat roasted centipedes, we want to catch a few big centipedes." ”
Jill said, "You want to eat roasted centipedes? It's very simple, we have centipedes in our tribe, but this thing is really delicious, and it's so delicious when you roast it over a fire and sprinkle it with a little salt." ”
Yang Shubao asked, "Do you still raise centipedes?"
Jill nodded: "Yes, raise centipedes to make money." Now there are five to ten pieces of a big centipede, and one or two pieces of small centipedes, and our tribe produces more than 100,000 centipedes a year, and we can earn millions. In addition, we also go out to catch wild centipedes, well, we can catch hundreds of thousands of them a year, so you came to me to find the right one, because I know how to catch centipedes. ”
Yang Shubao exclaimed: "Catch more than 100,000 centipedes a year? This is too exaggerated, four or five hundred a day?"
"It's easy to catch thousands a day in the rainy season, but it's much less in the dry season. "Come with me and I'll show you our centipede farm." ”
Yang Shubao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look at this, just get us a few and go back to roast and eat." ”
"Farmed centipedes are not as tasty as wild centipedes, because wild centipedes are fatter and have more balanced nutrition, and besides, you haven't caught centipedes, right? ”
Yang Shubao thought for a while and said, "Then let's go catch centipedes, my friend is coming to South Africa to play, and I really have to prepare some interesting activities for him." ”
Jill said, "Then you wait for me, I'll go and prepare the tools." ”
After saying that, he turned back to a boy who was sucking lollipops and said, "Ira, tell your buddies that we will go catch centipedes, catch one and give you two dollars." ”
The young man was overjoyed: "Okay. ”
Jill went to change his clothes, he put on a sunhat, the hat has a small fan connected by a small motor, he showed Yang Shubao: "This is also an invention of mine, you see, it can blow the wind for you, so that you can feel comfortable on a hot day when you wear it." ”
Yang Shubao cooperated and exclaimed: "What a genius invention." ”
"I'm not kidding, man, I'm really good at this invention," Jill said. If it can be put into the market, then I think it will be very marketable, for example, children will like it, and there are some fashionable guys, they will also like it. ”
Yang Shubao asked, "Then why don't you find a factory and put it into production?"
Jill said frustratedly: "I wanted to apply for a patent, but the patent has been applied for in advance, and after my investigation, this product is also available on the market." That said, I designed it too late. ”
Zhang Jinjie smiled bitterly: "When I was a child, we had such a hat there, and my mother even bought me one." ”
Jill prepared a complete set of tools, iron forks, nail rakes, sharp-beaked hoes, he introduced these things are used for digging up the soil with stones, and there are also some bamboo chips, clips made of iron sheets, large and small tweezers, bamboo baskets, cloth bags, glass bottles, large plastic bottles, and so on.
The strange thing is that he also brought some bricks and tiles, Yang Shubao asked him the purpose of bringing this thing, he squeezed his eyes and didn't answer, and sold it.
In the tribe, the teenagers were the most powerful force in catching these insects, and they also changed into long-sleeved trousers, and tied up their legs and sleeves, and tied a belt around their waists, and rubber gloves hung from their belts.
As the group walked deeper into the prairie, Jill asked, "Do you know how to catch centipedes?"
Yang Shubao said: "Use a tool to catch it, right?"
"Yes, but is there any difference between this answer and no answer?"
Yang Shubao spread his hands and said, "Okay, then we don't know." ”
Jill said, "I'll teach you later, do you know how to find centipedes?"
Yang Shubao nodded: "I know this, the big centipede feeds on insects, and we have to find places where insects are enriched, such as garbage heaps, livestock pens and other places." ”
Jill said: "There are centipedes in the garbage heap, but those centipedes grow up eating insects that eat garbage, you can understand the meaning of this sentence, right? ”
"Then where should we find it?" asked Yang Shubao.
"A fertile black understory soil, some of which grow on black soil, and this kind of soil is extraordinarily fertile, and there are a lot of grasses and insects, and then there are a lot of centipedes, you know? ”
He was looking for woods that grew on black soil, where the soil was fertile and shady, and was a favorite habitat for centipedes.
But this kind of place is not easy to find, the surrounding area has been found by them, the big and small centipedes have already been taken away, and there are not many left, they are all fish that have slipped through the net, and it is difficult to find them.
After a long journey, Jill chose a wooded area next to a wild pond, and he said, "There used to be a lot of centipedes here, and one person could catch a hundred a day, and I hope we can catch something today." ”
He led the teenagers to dig a cross-shaped trench with an iron pickaxe, half a meter wide and more than ten centimeters deep, and a length of about two or three meters.
"Didn't you ask me why I brought bricks and tiles, because centipedes like to burrow into such places. Jill introduced.
In addition to the bricks and tiles, they also carried some blood ice cubes, which the teenagers smashed and threw in, covered them with weeds, and then clapped their hands and waited for the centipede to take the bait.
This is a centipede fishing that takes time to wait for them to take the bait, and Jill says that centipedes are very sensitive to chicken blood, and if there are centipedes within a radius of a few hundred meters, they will be lured into the tiles.
After setting a trap, they searched for stones nearby and dug around them.
After digging for a while, a child shouted, "Here's the goods!"
Yang Shubao and the two ran over as soon as possible, and the child pressed a centipede with a fork.
This centipede is not too big, about ten centimeters long, the black carapace is shiny, the temperament is very fierce, it struggles desperately after being inserted, and so many legs in two rows are squirming hard, it looks quite terrifying.
