Chapter 55: The Staghorn Worm
The town's action was very fast, and after Mayor Yang went back to have a meeting, he praised the spirit of Zhangjiazhai's hard work, and vigorously supported Zhangjiazhai to build a pollution-free vegetable planting base and strive to build the largest vegetable plantation in the county.
After two days, the engineering team, under the leadership of several excavators and bulldozers, began to widen the newly repaired road in Zhangjiazhai again.
Such a big move naturally aroused the envy and jealousy of many other villages.
In order to build the largest vegetable planting base in the county, the town leaders also made a lot of money to help Zhangjiazhai build a two-lane asphalt road.
A brand-new asphalt road appeared in front of everyone's eyes in just one week, and the happiest person was undoubtedly the villagers of Zhangjiazhai. Who doesn't want to have a better road in their village?
"I just went out for a walk, the asphalt road is really easy to walk, the most important thing is that there is no dust, and it is also very beautiful. Li Quan said to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan smiled, the asphalt road is clean and tidy, who says it's not good? I heard that the town smashed hundreds of thousands of dollars for this section of the road, and I don't know how it was squeezed out.
"Have you finished planting your vegetables?" asked Zhang Fan.
The last time they harvested more than 100,000 yuan, the Li family completely made a splash in the village. That night, a feast was held, and as long as the whole village was present, they could sit down at the table and eat a meal, and they killed two pigs, not to mention the chickens and ducks.
caused Zhang Fan to drink a few glasses that night, he didn't drink well, and came back to say drunk, which made his aunt cry and laugh.
The next day, the family began ploughing the land again, expanding the scale to eight acres. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, they would have gone even more crazy. People who have tasted the sweetness are always eager to stop.
Of course, the largest planting scale is still Zhang Fan. On the other side of the small valley, a lot of land has been reclaimed by the aunt and uncle. In the words of the aunt, if there is a shortage of manpower, there are still people in the mother's family.
As a result, the vegetable planting area has reached 25 acres, which is absolutely large-scale cultivation in rural areas.
In the village, except for the paddy fields, almost all the other fertile land has been converted into vegetable fields. All kinds of vegetables are planted under the guidance of Zhang Fan, and the villagers go out early and return late every day to take care of them, without slackening at all.
The old village chief was very relieved and satisfied, and the current village was thriving, and he couldn't find anyone who was idle.
Those who usually play poker and gamble in the commissary have changed their temperament, and those young people who work outside have also been urged back by a series of phone calls from home.
How much money can I earn by working outside? There are many young people in their village, but there are very few children who send home more than 10,000 yuan a year.
Nowadays, it is not a matter of doing anything casually in the village to earn 30,000 or 20,000 yuan per person.
"It's done, eight acres of land, it's really deadly. Li Quan also suffered.
However, the whole family is still happy to serve those delicate vegetables every day. Even strawberries have been loosely managed, and I feel that how can strawberries be compared with oily wheat vegetables?
The strawberries of those two acres of land are satisfied if they can earn 50,000 yuan.
Zhang Fan suddenly laughed and scolded: "When you make money, why don't you say it's fatal?"
Li Quangang was about to continue, but suddenly took two steps back.
Zhang Fan glanced at the big rooster who walked over with his head held high, this product is already a well-known village bully in the village, and the child is walking around the road when he sees it, which can be said to be a breeze.
Under the nourishment of the spiritual water in the net bottle space, he is getting smarter and smarter, and his body size has become very large, which is a big circle beyond the average big rooster, and it is very shocking to watch.
No wonder, Li Quan had to take two steps back when he saw it.
After getting closer, Zhang Fan found that the big rooster had a beetle in its mouth. He felt a little familiar, and suddenly there was a clear feeling in his mind, and he quickly recognized the identity of the beetle.
I saw that the beetle was oblong in shape, and the ridge was very arched. body chestnut brown to dark tan with a smaller head; The antennae have 10 segments, of which the gill part is composed of 3 segments, and the horns on the head are somewhat like antlers.
"Ouch, don't die!" Zhang Fan hurriedly pulled the big over, grabbed the wings, and let it put down the beetle.
"It's just a bug!" Li Quan said.
I feel that Brother Fan's move is a bit of a fuss, which is not in line with his steady style!
"Antlerworm, do you know what it's worth?" Zhang Fan glared at him, finding that the beetle was not damaged, and after the big rooster let go, he almost wanted to fly away.
"Valuable?" Li Quanlai was interested.
Ye Tiansheng, who hadn't spoken much, was also puzzled, he had actually seen this kind of insect several times and knew where to catch it.
"We may not have a lot of people playing in our country, but in RB, this beetle used to be a very fashionable pet, and ten years ago, a pair of such bugs could be sold for more than 300,000 yuan. Zhang Fan's words were amazing.
In the past two years, some people have even copied the price to a sky-high price of nearly 100,000 US dollars.
Li Quan and Ye Tiansheng were stunned for a moment, half paid, and pointed at the beetle: "That's it, more than 300,000?"
Oh my God! How much is it worth for a wild boar to sell all its bones? They grow vegetables and make 100,000 dollars and it feels like a dream. Who knew that two inconspicuous beetles were worth more than 300,000?
"RB people are really rich. Li Quan sighed.
"Can you really sell it for that much money?" Ye Tiansheng couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Fan gave him a strange look: "Can you catch it?"
He also vaguely remembered that the staghorn insect is mostly nocturnal and diurnal, has a certain phototaxis, and mainly feeds on the sap of tree wounds or ripe fruits, which basically does not cause harm to crops and trees.
In addition, their larvae feed on rotten wood and decaying plants, so they mostly inhabit the rotten hearts of trees, sawdust heaps, manure heaps, garbage heaps, and even the roofs of grass houses.
Ye Tiansheng didn't hide it from Zhang Fan, and nodded: "I know where there is, one or two should be able to catch it." ”
Li Quan's scalp is fried, one or two? Isn't that easy to earn two or three hundred thousand?
"I don't know the specific price, hundreds of thousands must be a bit inflated, I estimate that someone may want thirty or twenty thousand. Now that you know where it is, let's go, go and catch it. Zhang Fan first used a cage to pack the beetle.
Of course, Zhang Fan did not forget to give some "reward" encouragement to the big rooster.
Ye Tiansheng used to be an idle person in the village, and he knew where there was a nest of birds, and it was not surprising that he had seen staghorn insects. Knowing that the beetle was valuable, he immediately set off with Brother Fan.
They came to a forest and proceeded lightly.
I thought I would be looking for a long time, but who knew that Ye Tiansheng's guy caught a deer antler insect in his hand in less than five minutes and showed it to Zhang Fan for confirmation.
"Haha! I'm rich, let's see if there's anything left. Zhang Fan laughed.
It's a pity that I can't find it anymore, but no matter what, the harvest is not small.
"Let me go first, I will find a buyer and sell it together. Zhang Fan said.
Ye Tiansheng naturally has no opinion, and he has no way to find a buyer, so he can only rely on Brother Fan.
