Just when Zhang Fan and Zhao Yuqing went up the mountain to burn incense, several people from other villages came to Zhangjiazhai, and they first went to visit the old village chief's house.

They are all rat catchers who have heard the news, and they plan to catch voles professionally in Zhangjiazhai in the future. Thirty yuan per pound of voles, too many people are moved.

These are just the first people to come, and there may be more to come. An army of rat catchers is being formed, and all the villagers of Zhangjiazhai welcome this.

"I believe you all understand the situation, right?" the village party secretary asked them.

Seven or eight people from other villages, some young and some middle-aged, brought with them all equipment to catch voles. They consider themselves to be good at caping voles and are never inferior to others in their own village.

Several people nodded, and they were also relieved to see that the villagers of Zhangjiazhai really welcomed them to make a fortune.

After all, 30 yuan per catty! In other villages, the villagers will not let you people from other villages come to make a fortune! The villagers of Zhangjiazhai are still generous and bold.

"The most important thing is to act at night, take last night as an example, if you catch it specifically, it shouldn't be difficult to catch fifty or sixty pounds in one night. The old village chief said to them.

Last night, the villagers didn't catch much, mainly chasing voles. After all, catching one is too time-consuming, and if you catch one, the other voles may gnaw away several vegetables from you.

"Don't worry, Village Chief Zhang, I'm not going to sleep tonight. One of the young men said.

If you have money to make, what sleep do you sleep?

The others nodded their heads, prepared for a long night shift. Catch voles, they all have their own unique plan, and they will know it at night.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to waste time and want to wait for a while to find the vole hole and catch a batch first.

He heard that rat holes can be seen in many vegetable fields in Zhangjiazhai, and it is precisely because of this that the villagers of Zhangjiazhai became nervous and were so anxious to invite someone to exterminate the rats.

"Okay, the rest is fine, I wish you a fortune in Zhangjiazhai. The old village chief smiled.

This group of people from other villages hurriedly said a few respectful words before leaving the old village chief's house. They started to observe the vegetable patches in the village, looking for the best place to catch voles, and took possession.

That was also what they had discussed, and in order to avoid some unnecessary quarrels, they would divide the area to catch voles. Each person finds his or her most suitable position, manages a place, and is responsible for cleaning up the voles in that place, and cannot cross the boundary.

Of course, they also knew that a few people could not take care of a place as large as the whole village, and they had to let the descendants join in.

Otherwise, you don't have that much ability, but you occupy such a big place and let the voles harm the vegetables, and the villagers of Zhangjiazhai will not be so easy to talk to.

Huang Huaide is a sturdy middle-aged man who is married to a wife from another province. His wife went out to work last year, and there was no news and ran away with someone.

As a father of several children, he takes responsibility for the growth of his children.

Originally, he worked in the quarry, and his salary was okay, and when he was busy, he had a salary of more than 4,000 a month, and there was no problem in supporting his family.

But as the children grew up one by one and needed for them to study, Huang Huaide had to think of other ways to find a more profitable way.

Otherwise, how can he afford to support the children who will have to go to school in the future?

Therefore, when he learned that Zhangjiazhai needed someone to catch voles professionally, he immediately rushed over. Thirty yuan per pound of voles, he is confident that he can catch thirty or fifty pounds a day, and it should not be difficult to earn one thousand or several hundred yuan.

He observed in the village for more than an hour, and finally occupied a piece of land, about ten acres or so, as his own territory, and he would catch voles here tonight.

He was very particular about the places he was looking for, and voles had "roads" for voles, just as the so-called "snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths"! Huang Huaide was able to find out.

Looking over, you can see a lot of holes here, but not necessarily rat holes. Some may be snake caves that need to be distinguished. Where there are many snake holes, it is not suitable for catching voles, because most of the voles are eaten by them.

Huang Huaide has his own set of looking for snake holes, carefully observing the entrance of the cave, identifying the snake path, snake feces, snake molting and other aspects at the entrance of the cave, identifying the snake hole, and judging whether there are snakes in the cave and what snakes there are.

In general, the entrance of the cave with snakes is often facing the south or southeast, which can be exposed to sunlight, and the entrance is smooth and bright; there are snake feces, snake molts and scales that fall off outside the cave; snake feces are mixed with bird feathers and rat hair; fresh snake feces are yellow and thin, and exude a special fishy smell; the species of snakes are mainly determined according to snake molts.

As for rat holes, they are actually more or less identical, but rat holes tend to be easier to identify.

The place he found was not occupied by snakes, and there were more traces of rats moving around, which he guessed was an area where voles were concentrated.

The next thing is to start setting all kinds of traps, which he knows a lot.

Others use iron cages, rat traps, etc., but Huang Huaide is not, but uses his own homemade rat trapping tools, which are simply made of bamboo.

After setting up the trap, Huang Huaide did not rest, but took advantage of this time to launch an attack on some vole holes. I saw that he was carrying a lot of small firecrackers with him.

After setting up a net at the entrance of the hole, light a firecracker and quickly throw it inside.

There was a muffled cannon shot, and smoke began to rise from the cave. The next moment, a fat vole sprang out in a panic. The sound of firecrackers frightened it so much that it crashed headlong into the net.

When it reacted and was fooled, it was useless to struggle.

Huang Huaide was carrying the fat vole, which weighed almost a pound! The voles in Zhangjiazhai were all very large, which surprised him.

However, the vole is just right, and such a one is almost 30 yuan into the bag.

After thinking about it, compared to working in a quarry. It's easy to catch voles here, and it's quick to make money. Those voles are all running RMB, it's up to you to catch them.

Relying on his method, in just over an hour, he caught more than 20 voles, about 20 catties.

Of course, he also paid the price, being bitten by a ferocious vole, leaving two tooth marks on the back of his hand, both bleeding. When he returned, he had to clean his wounds, preferably with a vaccination.

Like being bitten by a dog or a rat, it cannot be taken lightly. Although voles are clean, there is no guarantee that they are completely free of bacteria and viruses.

Since you are going to do this work for a long time, it is better to get a vaccine just in case. At the village chief's house in Zhangjiazhai before, the old village chief reminded them not to think that there was nothing wrong.

"Yo, you're good at catching voles, you've caught so many so quickly?" said the villagers in the nearby vegetable fields.
