Chapter 35: The Locust Base

The four-eyed monkey is not stupid, as soon as he heard Jin San's words, he smiled and said, "Boss, do you want to sell these things as antiques?" ”

"Why not? Eggshell pottery, modern people can not copy it, even if there is, its process is far from it, you see I fired these, and I bought this piece, absolutely reached the master level, black as ink, its thin as paper, its sound like jade, these characteristics have been reached, and these black pottery also have carved lines, such black pottery is more valuable. ”

"More valuable? How much can it be worth? ”

"The real antique I bought is worth at least three and a half million, and if it can be sold abroad, it will be worth even more."

"Boss, you're not going to be a smuggler, are you? It's not right to sell the things of your ancestors to the gringos like this. ”

"What do you think? If you want to sell it, you can also sell these that I fired, but you have to make it old, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at a high price. ”

The four-eyed monkey said in surprise: "The boss will still be old?" Is this just a fake? ”

"It's a technical job to be old, and I'll tell you later, I'll go out and see why it's so messy outside."

The four-eyed monkey was talking while busy working on the embryo drawing machine, but he obviously didn't have much talent for making pottery, and he couldn't make it shape, he saw Jin San turn it so simply a few times, and he made a small pottery bowl, but he couldn't get it into shape.

Jin San ignored him, walked out of the bedroom, and found that there were many people in the yard, and some people were holding pasture, which seemed to have been cut from the Tibetan Horse Valley. Jin Hu stood aside with his head drooping, his mother was watching, Jin San walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”

The sister-in-law said angrily: "It's not the golden tiger and the four-eyed monkey, they have made a few small arched sheds in the west, and raise grasshoppers in it, our village people know that grasshoppers can be sold for two hundred yuan a catty, and they all come to them to raise grasshoppers, I was very happy at first, after all, it is good to make some money in the village, but grasshoppers need to be used to raise grasshoppers, and I don't know who said it, saying that the grass in our Tibetan Horse Valley is good, and only by feeding grasshoppers with this grass can we raise good grasshoppers, and we can buy the upper price." ”

"It's nothing, is it?"

"At first, it was nothing, but now every household in the village raises grasshoppers, and they come to the Tibetan Horse Valley every day to cut the grass, and even the sheep's horns have been cut a lot, and we have so many cattle and sheep in the Tibetan Horse Valley, and the grass has been cut away, what should we do with our cattle and sheep?"

There are only about 300 people in Taohuayu Village, and 50 or 60 households, even if every family raises grasshoppers, they don't need much forage, but the problem is that there are too many people who come, and the cattle and sheep in the Tibetan Horse Valley are prone to infectious diseases.

Jin Sandao: "Restrict, only let a few people go in to cut the grass, cut the grass and distribute it, don't go in and mow it." ”

"This is not a way, now they can use less and let them cut, if they see grasshoppers to make money in the future, they will expand the farm, then even if we have more grass, it will not be enough for them."

There is really such a possibility, the countryside is not good at this, seeing what a family grows and makes a fortune, next year every family will definitely plant.

This is not a place, often a province is like this, just like onions, ginger, garlic, cabbage, radish or something, if the price is expensive today, then next year will definitely be planted, so if you plant more, it will definitely be worthless the year after tomorrow.

Now the village raises grasshoppers, and those people just watch the four-eyed monkeys sell grasshoppers to make money, and if they all make money in the future, they will definitely expand the scale.

Although he has an ability that can quickly grow grass, the land in the Tibetan Horse Valley can't stand it, and the fertility of the field will definitely decrease if he uses the ability for a long time, so it seems that he has to find a way to increase the fertility of the soil.

With a plan, Jin San said: "Now let me inform you first, let's say that we can provide a small amount of grass, and if you want to expand grasshopper breeding in the future, you must find a way to plant grass yourself, and if you want to plant grass, we can provide grass seeds." ”

"I'll just leave this to me, but, junior, what are you doing these days? I heard Xiaohu say that you are burning porcelain bowls? ”

"Well, I just studied ceramics, and my family isn't busy these days, right?"

"Don't be busy, there is me and your second sister-in-law at home, you don't care, you can be busy with yourself, junior, my father and mother told you about family affairs, and I will let you go and see each other in a few days, let me tell you."

"Yes, got it." Jin San is already twenty-four years old, and with such a big young man in the village, his son can make soy sauce.

"Huh? Little San, I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been? The sixth child of the Yan family came out of the Tibetan Horse Valley with a hug of grass and saw Jin Sandao.

He is the brother of Yan Sanye, ranked sixth, and the village calls him Yan Lao Liu, Jin San said with a smile: "I have been studying at home for the past few days, and I haven't shown up, what is Uncle Liu busy with?" ”

"What are you busy with, these days the village is either raising sheep or cattle, a few days ago I saw four-eyed monkeys raising grasshoppers, you know, I am not in good health, I can't do heavy work, this grasshopper is not tired, and the price is high, I went to Yangliu Town, looked at the locust breeding base of others, and it is really right to do this line."

"Oh? Do you have grasshoppers in Current Town? ”

"Why not? There are a lot of grasshoppers raised there, covering five or six towns around, almost every household where they raise grasshoppers, each three meters wide, seven or eight meters long small arched shed, forty or fifty days can produce fifty or sixty pounds of grasshoppers, but their grasshoppers there are not good, not as big as the grasshoppers we have here, and not as delicious as the grasshoppers we have here, so to raise, or to breed grasshoppers here we have. ”

"You can raise grasshoppers?"

"It's not difficult, I will watch it there for a few hours, and they will also give the information, and the information has the details of grasshopper breeding, and I will read it once."

"It's not the season for grasshoppers to lay eggs now, so where do you get so many grasshoppers to raise?"

"The grasshoppers in the Tibetan Horse Valley can lay eggs, as long as you catch some and go back to seed, as long as the temperature and other external conditions are suitable, the eggs will come out soon, just a few days of work, my small arch shed is already full of grasshoppers."

"It's better to be careful, learn more from others, after all, this is the first time we do it, we don't suffer a loss by learning from others, even if we buy something from them, it's nothing, and when we master the technology, it's not too late to cultivate grasshoppers in the Tibetan Horse Valley."

Yan Lao Liu laughed a few times and said: "That's not good, the grasshoppers they have there are not delicious, except for the skin, there is nothing left, just like that, the grasshoppers actually sell for twenty yuan a catty, which is far worse than the grasshoppers we have here." ”

At this time, the third uncle of Jin Sanben's family also came out of the Tibetan Horse Valley, he also held a bundle of grass in his hand, it seems that the sister-in-law's worry is not unreasonable, the density of cattle and sheep in the valley is too large, if they cut the grass to feed the grasshoppers, the grass will definitely not be enough for the cattle and sheep in the valley to eat.

Uncle Jin said: "Yan Lao Liu is not stupid, this guy went to the grasshopper base, brought other people's information, and ate a meal for nothing at noon, but he didn't even tell people his real address, you let him buy things there?" How is that possible. ”

Jin San looked at Yan Lao Liu speechlessly, Yan Lao Liu was embarrassed and said: "At first, I just wanted to go and see and understand the situation, but as soon as I said it, they pulled me in, obviously trying to fool me into buying things, am I so stupid?" ”

"You're not stupid, you don't suffer if you take advantage of it." Uncle Jin said.

Yan Lao Liu said: "Don't talk about me, the things they have, not to mention the grasshoppers, they are not delicious, if you really raise their grasshoppers, you have to buy their grass seeds, that kind of more than 100 yuan a tael, I have that spare money?" ”

"So dark?" Jin San was also surprised, a grasshopper farmer who sells grass seeds is so expensive.

"Hey, why don't I even tell them my real address? The grasshoppers we have here are delicious and big, and the price is high, one pound will top their ten catties, so that the same arch shed, if there are fifty pounds of grasshoppers, the grasshoppers here can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and they only sell for 1,000 yuan, even if as they said, an arch shed can produce 100 catties, that is only 2,000 yuan, although I haven't been to school for two days, this account will still be calculated. ”

"People don't make money to help you? Or teach you to raise grasshoppers and take care of your food? ”

"But they are too dark, a small arch shed costs a thousand, plus grasshoppers and grass seeds, miscellaneous costs more than 2,000, raising this batch of grasshoppers is not for them to raise in vain? That's not to mention that grasshoppers can't be sold. ”

"Well, the grasshoppers we have here are easy to sell, but we haven't raised them, you ask the people in the base, can we raise grasshoppers here?"

"Why are you so stupid? What kind of grasshopper are they there? Originally, I brought a dozen grasshoppers with me, and I planned to let them show them, but I went to take a look, and their grasshoppers were like those grasshoppers during the locust plague many years ago, with only skin, and that kind of thing, it tasted like chewing wood, and it couldn't be compared with the grasshoppers we had here, so in the end I didn't take out the grasshoppers to show them. ”

Uncle Jin said: "Why don't you let them see, maybe our grasshopper is not suitable for breeding!" ”

"Are you so stupid? What is the size of the farm? Now the grasshoppers raised in our village are unique, so they can be sold at a high price, if the people in the grasshopper base are promoted, there are grasshoppers like us everywhere, can we still sell them for 200 yuan a catty? ”

Jin San listened to it funny on the side, this Yan Lao Liu talked about raising grasshoppers one by one, but listening to him, no one would think that he was also raising grasshoppers for the first time, it seems that he is really a capable person.

Everything is scarce and expensive, there are many grasshoppers, and they must not be able to buy two hundred yuan, he is right, the grasshoppers in their village, if they are really popularized on a large scale, they must have an advantage in the grasshopper base, and if there is such a small fight in the village, it must be that they can't compete with others, this Yan Lao Liu is not stupid, and his business is much better than others.

When they walked away, Jin San said: "This Yan Lao Liu is really a talent, if the grasshoppers in our village are really cultivated, maybe they can also become a locust breeding base." ”
