Now, you can put the cage in, the sink is also placed, and a piece of wood is placed on the rice board, which is to keep the jar clean, and the food for the crickets is placed on this small wooden board. According to the old man, the jar should be damp and the cage should be dry, so a jar should be equipped with at least two or more cages, and a dry cage should be changed every day, but the humidity in the jar should not be too low.

Whether it is the water that is smeared in order to adjust the humidity or the water that is fed to the crickets, you can't use tap water, you have to use rainwater. This is because there are disinfectant chemicals in the tap water, and the crickets can't stand it, so every summer, people who play with insects will put an empty water tank in the yard to catch the rainwater, and if you meet a person who plays with insects, he will ask you: Have you received the rain this year? Then he means asking you, whether you can raise insects this year.

The old man told Hong Tao so much today, and the fighting insects in the back haven't had time to talk about it, and how to distinguish the good and bad of the singing insects and the fighting insects, what kind of fighting insects need to be fed with what special food, the skills of fighting insects, etc., I didn't tell Hong Tao, according to the old man, if you want to play with good insects, you have to spend most of your life, and you have to be careful.

"No wonder the children of the Eight Banners don't know how to do anything, after the hardcore crops fall, they have to sell their houses and land to support themselves, it turns out that their time is all spent pondering this thing, this will be put in the future generations, it is a populist master, not only will not starve to death, but also live well. Hong Tao returned to his grandmother's house with his five jars, hid in his uncle's house, and carefully observed his harvest today one by one.

"Xiao Tao, what kind of stuff did you get back? Cricket jars? It's pretty good!" At this time, the little uncle ran in from outside with a peach blossom face, and reached out to get the cricket jar.

"Don't touch it! This jar is worth more than you, if you dare to touch it, I will go to your corridor tomorrow and shout out all the things about you and the stinky big sister." Hong Tao no longer uses money to please his uncle, he firmly grasps his uncle's weakness, love!

"Cut, who's still playing this, show you my new gun, I used your two carts. The little uncle took out a pistol made of No. 8 lead wire from his school bag.

This gun was not quite the same as the bouncing gun he had made before, with several bicycle chains attached to the head of the gun, which could be broken in the middle, and the front chain hole smashed into the nut of a car bar, and behind it was a firing pin tied with several rubber bands.

"Isn't it just a matchstick. Hong Tao knows this thing, this is a kind of homemade toy that boys love to play in this era, stuff a match into the chain, pass through the eye of the nut of the car, the match head is just stuck in the chain, and then close the chain, as soon as the trigger is pulled, the rubber band will drive the firing pin, hit the match head heavily, make an explosion, and then collapse the matchstick far away, and there will be a crisp sound.

"Have you played this too?" I just finished the ...... in the morning" The little uncle was quite proud, but Hong Tao said the name of the gun in one mouth, and it was obvious that this display was unsuccessful.

"Uncle, do you know where there are wall bricks? Hong Tao didn't continue to discuss this kind of child's stuff with his uncle, he originally wanted to tell Uncle Sù how to modify ** with a match gun, but then he thought about it, this can't be done, ** can already hurt people, and he can't let his uncle play.

"What do you want that thing for?" the little uncle couldn't keep up with Hong Tao's thinking.

"You don't understand how to raise crickets, so tell me where you have them. "Hong Tao's little uncle is a standard hutong skewer, and there are footprints of his activities in every yard nearby.

"There are a few pieces in the courtyard, under the pickle jar, what's the fun of raising crickets? Why don't we go and catch turtles, three pennies, and you can earn more than 1 cent by going out to catch them for a while at night." "The little uncle has no interest in crickets, he only has needs for two things, one is money, and the other is the stinky big sister.

"Here, this is the money I used to catch turtles today, even if I go with you, I'll let you go with me to catch turtles in a few days, don't say I didn't go with you to catch turtles today!" Hong Tao took out a dime paper ticket from his pocket, put it in his uncle's hand, and then picked up a hammer from the toolbox and went straight to the backyard.

According to Hong Tao's grandmother told Hong Tao the old story of the early years, a few years before Hong Tao was born, there was a city wall in the moat, and later when digging the air-raid shelter, there was a lack of bricks, and as a result, the working people's smart heads turned and directly picked up the city wall, and the city wall bricks were pulled into the air-raid shelter to build the wall. However, there will always be leftover bricks, and there are quite a few of them, some of them are used as stepping stones to build steps, and some of them are thrown in the corner all year round, and it is not until the 21st century that these large bricks become good again.

"Ah!!...... Hey, you kid who lacks morality, you almost scared me to death! What are you doing here!" Hong Tao ran to the inner courtyard with a hammer, found the two water tanks, and was about to use the hammer to smash off a piece of the city brick below, when suddenly a person walked out of the inner courtyard and was startled by Hong Tao.

"Auntie, I want to get some city bricks, it's okay, you can do your job. Hong Tao said as he raised his hammer and fell......

"Boom...... Crash...... "The city brick smashed off a corner, but Hong Tao's hand was not so strong, and the hammer bounced and hit the water tank next to it, breaking the water tank.

"Hey, let me catch it this time, you haven't beaten for three days, and you have gone to the house to uncover the tiles! Go, find your grandfather, let him see, what else is there to say this time!" The aunt next door was just about to leave, and after hearing the voice, she came back again, and reached out and grabbed Hong Tao's ear.

"I'll count, I haven't helped you out for more than half a year, are you afraid that grandpa will be too idle, and you want to find me some fun?" Grandpa didn't protect the calf this time, and promised the aunt next door to compensate him for a water tank another day, and then asked Hong Tao.

"Hey, hey, this time it's an accident, I went to smash the city bricks, and I accidentally smashed the water tank. Hong Tao amused the old man, but he didn't expect his grandfather to have a bit of a talent for humor.

"Why do you use smashing city bricks?" The reason why the old man didn't protect the calf was mainly because he had a good relationship with his neighbor's grandfather Zhang, and he didn't want to cause trouble to the two families because of a water tank.

"Wait, I've got some good stuff back today, I'll get it for you. Hong Tao didn't hide things from his grandfather, ran back to his uncle's house with a cigarette, and brought the box of cricket jars.

"Oh, this isn't a cricket jar, I'll take a look, I'll take a look, it's like an old object!" "Although grandpa is not really a bug, at least he is an amateur, let him say something, he will definitely not succeed, but it is no problem to recognize it."

"I bought it from the entrusted store for 4 yuan, do you think it's worth it?" Hong Tao directly shrunk the purchase price by 1o times, he often did this, 8o yuan to buy an old watch, he said 2o bought, and specially asked the salesperson of the entrusted store to give him a fake receipt to deceive his grandfather, of course, the officially stamped receipt can't be opened, it can only be a receipt without a seal, and the real receipt is all hidden.

"It's worth it! I think according to this condition, at least it is also an object of the Qing Dynasty, older than my gourd, and when you see a suitable gourd in the future, remember to get one for grandpa, a cicada it doesn't like to bark, I have to get another one." "Grandpa doesn't discuss money with Hong Tao more.

"Today I met an old man surnamed Na, a pedaler, he taught me a lot of knowledge about raising crickets, do you know him?" Hong Tao wanted to inquire about the old man's background from his grandfather, after all, his grandfather had been born and raised in this area for decades, maybe he knew him.

"The big bald one, the tricycle is shiny?" Grandpa really knew.

"Yes, it's him, he pulled me back, and told me a lot of rules for playing with crickets. ”

"Hey, that's a player, in the early years, his family had a big yard, just in the Qianliang Hutong, and then the hardcore crops fell, and the hardcore crops were ......" Grandpa began to introduce the origin of the old man to Hong Tao.

"Hardcore crops I know, you go on!" Hong Tao had to interrupt almost every adult in this way, not because he was rude, but because the other party would involuntarily explain something to him that he shouldn't know.

Later, his father sold a lot of belongings and opened a car factory, and the business was not bad, and everyone called him the gold tooth here in Dongcheng, and he had a big gold tooth. Later, when he was liberated, his eldest son was a Kuomintang officer, and he wanted to run by plane with his family, but there were only 3 plane tickets, which were originally intended to be given to the old man and his younger brother, and then let his mother and brother-in-law wait here for death. This second master is also a tough guy, he directly gave the plane ticket to his pregnant daughter-in-law, and then took his mother to stay together, alas, what a sin!" Grandpa said this, he was also a little excited, and sighed.

"What about later?" Hong Tao didn't expect that the old man with a hippie smile would have such a tortuous life experience.

Later, his mother died within a few years, when he sold everything that his family could sell, and despite the government's ban, he invited many monks from Xishan to give his mother to do things on Dongsi Street, and walked until he walked outside Dongzhi Gate. Later, the government confiscated his yard, so he built a small yard next to the yard to live by himself, at first he was helping people shake briquettes, and then he didn't know where to get the car, so he started pedaling. It's a pity that his daughter-in-law and child don't know whether they are dead or alive, and he has never remarried, so he lives alone now, and when he closes his eyes, there is no one to send him to the end, alas...... ......"After a while, grandpa has already said that he has done evil twice.
