After a day's leaflet was distributed, the people who liked to fight insects in the entire Dazhai Township couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During the day, I was tired of producing ginger in the field, and at night I went to catch insects in my own ginger field, and then the next day several villagers gathered in the field, took out the cricket gourd from their arms, put the bucket basin on the ground, and spent three or two minutes fighting on it, and the fatigue of labor disappeared immediately.
Cui Cripple had just finished working for a month to finish the apples in the Wang family's apple orchard and sell them to Han Haixia, a large fruit and vegetable wholesaler in Quancheng, and then was hired by Wang Zheng to be a special referee for the Taohualing Village Insect King Trials.
It is necessary to say that this year, because Wang Xiangzhong is too busy, he has not taken a look at the affairs of the apple orchard at all. Anyway, Cui Cripple, Cui Chenghai and Wu Xiuhong reported to themselves, saying that the apple orchard brought another 800,000 yuan to the Wang family this year.
On Friday, early in the morning, Cui Cripple was dragged by Wang Zheng and them to the ginger field by the South River in Taohualing Village.
The ginger farmers are busy producing ginger, and the crickets of the insect fans who are interested in taking the insect king of Taohualing Village this time are also in their arms.
To say that in the entire Taohualing Village, there are really a lot of insect fans, both old and young.
In fact, the people in the mountain villages usually have very few entertainment activities, and now there is a TV to watch. Ten years earlier, there was not a single TV in the village, and at most a few houses had a radio to listen to. In addition to these, the villagers' favorite entertainment is to gamble during the Chinese New Year, go into the western mountains and forests to hunt during the slack time, and fight insects after the harvest in autumn every year.
Gambling money is not a good custom, and if you don't get it right, you will go bankrupt; Hunting is not allowed by the government now, and there are not many prey in the mountains and forests; As for this fighting insect, although sometimes it also involves some gambling money or something, but two fighting crickets in a fight, one side will lose, and the next game will be over without fighting crickets, so it will not be endless like playing cards and gambling money.
Cui Cripple is the number one insect fan in Taohualing Village, and he is a veteran who has played for more than 40 years. In addition, like Liu Cantang and Cui Chenghai, they are also senior insect fans. It's just that this time, the Wang family organized this insect king competition, and the qualifications for registration were limited to Jiang Nong in Dazhai Township, so these people were not eligible to sign up.
Cui Cripple's real name is Cui Chenggong, but few people in the village call him that, and even many people don't know his name at all, and they all call him Cui Cripple. When this person was a child, he took an injection and distorted the eye of the needle, which pierced the nerves, causing his right leg to be underdeveloped and he walked with a limp.
Most people in Taohualing Village are now employees of Wang Zheng's company, so the company arranged for the employees of Taohualing Village to collect ginger in advance, and when all the ginger in Taohualing Village was collected, it was possible to free up the time to vigorously purchase ginger from other villages.
Yesterday, Taohualing Village collected a day, and the ginger was basically put into storage, and the rest was basically bruised, and then the ginger farmers picked it up by themselves and planned to eat it themselves. Today is over, and those who work for Wang Zheng's company in Taohualing Village will all go back to work for Wang Zheng's family.
When everyone saw Cui Cripple appear, they immediately greeted happily.
"Cripple Cui, when will we start choosing the insect king of our village?"
"Cui Cripple, you can't participate, if you participate in the competition, we won't have much chance."
Cui lame said with a smile: "I am not qualified to participate if I want to, so what, any of you who has worms can be compared now, and I will be a referee for you." ā
Wang Zheng shouted loudly from the side: "Hey, which of you has a worm who wants to compare with my general?" ā
Wang Zheng knew that in the more than 300 acres of ginger land in Nanhe, Taohualing Village, there were at least sixty or seventy of the 100 villagers who had worms in their hands. Moreover, many people have more than one worm in their hands.
Last night, when they ran to the side of Nanhe to catch insects, they had already seen many people with flashlights and searching in the field.
Crickets generally come out at night to find something to eat, and insect fans take advantage of this feature and generally come to catch insects at night.
Low-level players like Wang Zheng generally hear the sound of crickets, so they follow the sound to find it, regardless of whether it is good or bad, and put it in the cricket gourd when they catch it.
Liu Tao's level is higher than Wang Zheng's, and he can judge whether this insect is a good insect by the level of his voice.
And like Cui Cripple, if he stands in an acre of land and listens quietly for five or six minutes, he can find out which one is the most powerful and where it is from the hundreds of chirping insects in this field. Moreover, just by screaming, Cui Cripple can even judge the size of the insect, physical characteristics, and so on. Because of this, Cui Cripple can always catch crickets that are better than others.
Therefore, the people of Taohualing Village know that if Cui Cripple participates, others will not expect it.
Just now, Wang Zheng held up his cricket gourd and shouted, and someone shouted with a smile: "Wang Zheng, I will compete with you." ā
Wang Zheng and the others followed the prestige and saw that the person was Aunt Cui.
As soon as Cui Wei and Cui Qiang heard that their sister-in-law was going to fight with Wang Zheng, they also ran over from the field. Yesterday they earned thirty yuan from Wang Zheng, and they are not willing to spend it yet.
"No, I said Brother Zheng, you also plan to snatch the title of the insect king of Taohualing Village?" Cui Wei saw that Wang Zheng and Aunt Cui were about to go to war, so he hurriedly asked.
When Aunt Cui heard this, she hurriedly said, "Ah, Wang Zheng, are you also participating?" ā
Wang Zheng pointed to the ginger harvest not far away, and only ginger was left in the ginger field and said: "My family has planted ginger this year, and it fully meets the conditions for registration, so I also want to participate." ā
Liu Tao and Yang Ming stood behind Wang Zheng, and Liu Tao gave Wang Zheng a thumbs up at this time and said, "Second Aunt Cui, Brother Zheng has a big general in his hand, it's amazing." ā
This general is a simple division of the rank of crickets by ordinary people. Generally speaking, only those who are at the level of a general are qualified to fight other insects in the bucket. This general is bigger than ordinary crickets, with long legs and a strong mouth. The meaning of this mouth is the level of patience after being bitten by other insects.
is more powerful than the general, and the common people call him the king of insects. This insect king, that can only be produced out of hundreds of generals. By 2015, the price of a king of insects in the insect market in Shanghai was at least five figures.
Second Aunt Cui saw that Liu Tao boasted that Wang Zheng's insect was powerful, and she was not ambiguous, so she immediately took out a cricket gourd from her pocket, rolled up her sleeves and said: "Hey, I still don't believe it, I'm also a general, let's see who is powerful." ā
Cui Cripple saw that there were crickets on both sides, so he looked at the two sides and felt that the strength was equal, and then found a flat stone in the open space and put the bucket on it.
"I announce that the Peach Blossom Ridge Insect King Selection Tournament is now officially starting, the first game, Wang Zheng's general against Cui Lao's second daughter-in-law's general!"
With the shouting of Cui Cripple, the people who joined in the excitement gathered around. (To be continued.) )
