After proving himself in front of all the teachers, Gu Cheng went directly home, bought a copy of the Jiangcheng Evening News at the newsstand on the way, and browsed it casually, only to realize that he had almost forgotten one thing, a big thing to get rich quickly!

The front page of the Jiangcheng Evening News has a not-so-small red headline -- "Warmly celebrate the grand opening of the 9th Qinzhou Cricket Cultural Festival!! 》。

I took it in my hand and looked at the time, this is a series of reports, it turns out that the Cricket Festival has been held since September 29, and it will last for a month, and now it is October 9, and it has been 11 days!

Holding the newspaper, Gu Cheng read it carefully after returning home, he basically didn't know much about crickets before, he only knew that it seemed to be very popular, and the reason was that there was a cricket king in 07, and the auction price reached 200,000! Only then did I remember the widely circulated activities in Beiling Province, especially in Qinzhou City!

Looking at the report, in addition to some introductions about cricket competitions, there are also some common sense about crickets, Gu Cheng also learned from it that the date of the annual Qinzhou Cricket Festival is not fixed, and Qinzhou also produces crickets, which are still quite famous blue-headed species, so the date of the competition is determined according to the climatic conditions during this time! There is often a difference of a few days!

After a general look at the introduction, Gu Cheng decided to go to Qinzhou City, he must pan for gold, and now he has used the No. 9 catalytic food proficiently, and even the approximate proportion has been carefully comprehended, I believe that with all his strength, a brave and invincible cricket king will be transformed!

Just go, when he got home, it was just past noon, Gu Cheng quickly sorted out his luggage, went out to look at Aunt Bai's house opposite, knocked on the door and didn't respond, it was estimated that one went to work and one went to school, so he didn't wait, wrote a message and stuffed it through the crack in the door below, and told Aunt Bai that he would go to Qinzhou and rush directly to Quanxian Station! When it comes to the problem of class, he doesn't take it to heart at all!

When he got to the station and got on the train, Gu Cheng touched the thousand yuan in his pocket, and this plan to make a fortune depends on his next encounter!

Qinzhou City antique street, a cricket restaurant in the middle, the boss is a famous player in the country, the competition is hosted by him, the boss is worth tens of millions, a little cost is nothing.

The large and small hotels next to the antique street are full, although fighting crickets has always been the preference of a few people, but enthusiasts from all over the country came together, still occupied Gu Cheng's house, after asking a few in a row, Gu Cheng had to run a street depressed to find a good place to live.

After booking the room, it was getting late, and Gu Cheng didn't go out to hang out, Qinzhou at this time was in tatters and there was nowhere to go, so he took out a booklet about fighting crickets that he bought in the antique street, and turned on the light to read it to understand something!

The beginning of the "Cricket Cultural Festival Brochure" is very surprising, and it directly quotes a speech by Taizu.

The world is yours and ours, but ultimately yours is yours. You young people, full of vigor and vigor, are in a period of prosperity, like the sun at ** o'clock in the morning. The hope of carrying forward the cricket culture of the two Guangxi is pinned on you. ――――On July 13, 1956, Taizu received the speech of the cricket king of Guangxi Cricket.

Gu Cheng has heard the previous famous saying many times, but he didn't expect that there would be a latter sentence, there are many cases of Huaguo Education taking words out of context, but I didn't expect that even if I am an old man from Taizu, I can't escape this experience! Hard-nosed will encourage crickets to encourage learning! What has been passed down in later generations is all for international students, who can tell the truth from the false!

As for the law of identifying the good and bad crickets, Gu Cheng opened it and kept it in mind, although he made up his mind to use No. 9 to play a role, but knowing more about it is also conducive to better selecting experimental subjects.

In short, the bigger the cricket, the heavier the weight, the purer the color, and the rest! Among the various colors of crickets, the purest color on the body is often the appearance of the emperor, for example, positive blue, pure purple, garnet red, and burnt black. Crickets with more than 5 colors are often handsome. For example, red sand blue, purple yellow, white purple, etc. The former case states that the species of crickets should be pure and good in color. The latter situation illustrates the advantages of hybridization, and the combination of the strengths of various cricket species.

Together with some methods of raising crickets, how to choose food materials, how to choose jars, and how to adjust to increase combat effectiveness, Gu Cheng looked at it with a sigh of relief, and then felt a little more stable in his heart and fell asleep.

The next day, October 10th. Gu Cheng was woken up by the noisy movement outside at nine o'clock, and after washing, in addition to the room, he came outside to find a steamed bun shop, ate ten vegetable buns, meat buns, and drank two bowls of porridge, and then patted his stomach with satisfaction and rushed towards the cricket venue!

Fighting crickets are often reduced to the products of gambling in the people, although most people are playing for a few dollars, but it is inevitable that some people gamble hundreds or even thousands, so the official evaluation is not high, but Gu Cheng saw some fresh knowledge on some propaganda notices at the venue, which seems to be really promoted by the cultural festival, and fighting crickets is a traditional folk entertainment!

Crickets are also known as "promoting weaving", "tending to weaving", "chanting", and "crickets". Insecta, Orthoptera, Crickets. The antennae are longer than the body. The female has an oviduct that is bare. The male surname is good and aggressive. There are many species, the most common is the Chinese cricket, which is about 20 mm long. A generation is born every year. Pronounced with wings rubbing.

In the earliest "Book of Songs", there was a description of "October crickets, under my bed". The Tang Dynasty's "Kaiyuan Tianbao Relics" recorded: "In the palace, the concubines and concubines all use small golden cages to store crickets, put them on the pillow, listen to their voices at night, and the common people's homes also follow suit." Gu Feng's "Negative Noise Record" mentioned: "The battle of lice fighting began in Tianbao. The rich people of Chang'an carved ivory for the cage and saved it, and pecked it with ten thousand gold. ”。

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao, said that he and the concubines squatted on the ground and knelt on the ground to fight crickets. "What's even more ridiculous Jia also brought crickets to the court to discuss politics, and even happened that crickets jumped out of Jia Shui's sleeves, and finally jumped and stuck to the emperor's beard for a farce; Jia Rudao also compiled a book called "Promoting Weaving", telling about his experience in raising crickets and fighting crickets, which was the world's first monograph on crickets.

In the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere of fighting crickets was the most prosperous, and every household in the time of Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji was hunting and raising to promote weaving, and fighting to promote weaving fields also abounded. Shen Defu's "Wanli Ye Won the Compilation" contains: "Wu Yue's prodigal son, there is a cool play, every time he bets on the winner or loser, he will pay hundreds of gold, and there will be a family breaker." Lu Bi's "A Little History of the Ming Dynasty" records the crickets in the Qing Dynasty, and the two yellow orioles in Wuhua have heard that "Xuanzong loves to promote the weaving of the play, and sends the envoy to take the meaning of the couple, and the history of the museum does not remember its cricket Jiangnan, and the price is as expensive as dozens of gold." Fengqiao Yiliang and so on. Jia seems to be a person in Huabo".

The twenty-ninth chapter of Xiong Zhaozheng's "Zhang Juzheng" once described the grand occasion at that time in a large amount of space, and mentioned the method of recuperation: "Use the hedge to drop the jointworms, and then match the flat worms, dry and feed them together, and then use ginger juice strong tea with the children's feces soaked in the copper kettle for three days as a drink, so that the black widow is still as brave as ever:". Pu Songling's "Promoting Weaving" is Emperor Xuande looking for crickets, and Wang Yingkui's "Liu Nan Continued Writing" Volume 1 "Cricket Xianggong" says: "Ma Shiying is in the Hongguang Dynasty, and he is very similar to Jia Jira, and his voice, color, goods and profits are no different. Yushu is in a hurry, still fighting crickets as a play, and for a while the eyes are 'crickets and fathers'. ”

Cough! It's just that most of these introductions are not very positive! Gu Cheng looked at the propaganda boards, all of them were the preferences of the courtiers, and he felt a little discouraged!

However, Gu Cheng didn't care about this, he lay in the crowd and looked left and right, staring at the fierce competition here for a while, and then running to watch people pick crickets! There is no other tone in the antique street during this time, and it is all the crisp chirping of "crickets"!
