The small mountain village in the early morning is quiet and serene, and the hands of time are dialed at a quarter past five, and most families have not yet gotten up. The sky was gray and blue-gray, and the river was still flowing, and the fallen leaves on the mountain kept the rain slowly flowing into the river. The alarm of the mobile phone rang, Li Feng closed his eyes and groped for a while, and rubbed his eyes.
"Baby, Sakisaki, get up." Li Feng woke up a few little babies, this time the sky was not bright, and a few confused little guys followed Li Feng, who was also a little sleepy-eyed, taking advantage of the gray and unsunny time. Started the first snail hunting trip of the haystack, the surface of the haystack looked no different, it was still the same as yesterday, just a little more dew. The rocks of the mountain were subjected to rain, and the steam mist was rising, and the whole mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the water mist was thick. The humidity in the mountains was heavier, and the dew was slightly cool, which stimulated several people and lifted their spirits.
"Dad, are there any snails?" The baby rubbed his eyes, his steps were swaying, this girl had never gotten up so early, five o'clock, and everyone in the city was soaring in their dreams. Meng Meng and bells on the side, Sakizaki waited with wide eyes, and Li Feng smiled.
"Don't worry, you'll see the snail in a while." Li Feng saw a few snails exposed by the grass, and he knew in his heart, there might be snails down here, as for how many, he really didn't have a score in his heart. The weeds and dead branches were taken little by little, and a few snails were revealed from time to time, waiting for a few dolls on the side, rushing to throw them into their small buckets.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" The baby saw Li Feng holding the last hug of dead branches and weeds, stunned and in a daze, the scene in front of him really made people's scalp numb, Li Feng's eyes countless insects were wriggling, not only snails, earthworms, all kinds of turtles, many of them were unbelievable.
"It's okay, you guys come and have a look." Li Feng was still afraid that a few children would be afraid, although he knew that he saw so many snails, several children were pleasantly surprised, especially the baby knew that snails could be sold for money, so he took the lead in holding the little snails into his own small iron bucket. Li Feng saw his little daughter pouting her little buttocks, with a cute little appearance, standing on the side and enjoying herself.
"Uncle, it's so powerful, the cute little barrels are going to be full." After a while, a few children cleaned up the snails and turtles on the ground. Most of the small iron buckets were filled, Li Feng weighed it, this bucket is a few five or six catties, and the four children are more than twenty catties, this is only a pile of grass, so the rest, Li Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he thought about it, there are so many on his side, I don't know where the grove is? But to be sure, there are only a lot of snails there.
"Let's go, let's go back first, the small bucket can't fit." Manying saw Li Feng leading a few children around and coming back, thinking that she had forgotten to take the tools. "What's wrong? What fell? ”
"No, it's just that there are more snails than I thought." Li Feng shook his head with a smile, the baby on the side will be very excited, his small iron bucket is full, and his father said that he can buy more than ten yuan. "Auntie, you see, our little bucket is full, and Dad comes back to get the big bucket." Manying saw the snail and turtle in the small iron bucket that the baby felt, and her throat was uncomfortable for a while, and the surprised expression on her face made the baby very proud.
Manying saw that her usually silent and timid son was pulling the corner of her clothes at this time, holding the iron bucket in her hand, which was much less than the baby's. "Li Feng, are these caught in the haystack?" …,
"yes, and it's a haystack, I didn't expect there to be so many snails, it seems that the situation is even more serious than I thought." Li Feng didn't know whether to be happy at this time, or what, there are so many snails, although you can buy some money, but the harm in the crops is not small.
"Ah, a haystack? How is that possible? Manying was shocked, she thought it was a few haystacks catching so many, although she was a little surprised, but she didn't lose her temper, but one haystack caught so many, six haystacks, not a snail of hundreds of catties. No wonder Manying opened her mouth wide in shock. Li Fengxin said, there are still few here, and the remaining nests are the big ones.
"Oh, no, don't talk about it, baby, you quickly pour the snail into the water tank." There is also a dilapidated water tank here on Li Feng's side, but it is slightly bursting, and it can't be filled with water, so it is suitable for snails at this time. A few small radishes, laboriously lifted their small buckets and poured the snails into the water tank, and Li Feng found a wooden board to cover it. Li Feng went over this time, but he was more equipped, a snakeskin bag, and a big bucket, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Manying saw that she followed to help, "I'll take a look, Xiao Man said about the snail yesterday, how did you talk about the price?" Manying helped Li Feng carry the bucket and said as she walked.
"The price has been roughly set, three yuan a catty, and they still want to see the goods, and the specific price is being determined, but it is about three yuan." Li Feng chatted with Li Xiaoman about this last night, Liu Jing and Xu Ran pressed the price very low, and originally only planned to give two yuan, but because of Li Xiaoman's reasons, coupled with the influence of the number this time, the three of them discussed three yuan, and then looked at the goods.
"Three dollars is good, it's not like the baby they've already earned one or twenty dollars this time, it's too easy." Manying said and turned her head to see the baby and several children with their chests upright, their faces full of pride, their heads up, their big eyes watery with a hint of pride.
"Dad, Auntie, are you going to hurry up? What should I do if the little snail is full and runs home? Li Feng saw that the little girl was serious, and he thought that he was walking slowly, he was really anxious little guy. Li Feng and Manying looked at each other and smiled, the two of them sped up their pace to catch up with the anxious child, fortunately, the haystack was not far from the peach forest, and after a while, Li Feng and the others came to the second straw pile, this time, Li Feng did not move the haystack little by little, and directly moved the straw pile, revealing the small pit at the bottom, not to mention the dense snails inside, there was even a hedgehog, how did this thing come about.
Li Feng didn't pick it up too well and threw it aside, and a few children would not use their little hands anymore, and directly scooped it with a small bucket, densely packed with snails, filled with most of the buckets, this time there were a lot more than the first haystack.
For more than half an hour, Li Feng and Manying were already numb, a full snakeskin bag, a full bucket, and a few little babies and small iron buckets were also used. A group of people slowly returned to the peach forest, so many snails, but tired a few children, each small bucket of seven or eight pounds from the grove, although the road is not far, but for five or six year old children, it is already a long march.
"Baby, get up and wash your hands and remember to use soap." Li Feng rarely uses things like fat boy and dish soap, but this time his hands are full of snail mucus, and it is difficult to wash off without fat boy. Manying smiled at Li Feng, turned around to scoop water, helped a few children, and washed her tender white hands. Li Feng will pour the snakeskin bag of snails and bucket snails into the water tank, most of the tank. Li Feng estimated that there were at least more than 200 catties of snails this time, and this was still too few nests set up by himself. The more Li Feng thought about it, the hotter his heart became, that didn't mean that he could get thousands of yuan a night. How much is that month, two months? Li Feng immediately shook his head, he was really whimsical, not to mention whether there were so many snails, others would not fall into the nest when they saw it. …,
"What are you thinking about stupidly, what about Meng Meng?" Xiaoqing saw Li Feng standing in front of the door from a distance, smirking for a while, and frowning for a while, what is this person daydreaming about early in the morning.
"Wash your hands inside, you woke up early today?" Li Feng pointed to the courtyard, wiped his sweat, what a stupid stunned, he was imagining a better life.
"What do you mean? I wasn't early that day, and I was talking like a lazy worm. Xiaoqing glanced at Li Feng dissatisfied, knocked on the ground with his sandals, and walked into the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, you wake up early every day." Li Feng doesn't want to debate anything with women, this thing, he is not a fault in the end, these girls are unreasonable to be able to say three points of reason, debating with them is a waste of time, meaningless, this good morning catch more bugs, selling money is the right thing.
"Ah, auntie, you're here, guess how much Mengmeng earned today?" Meng Meng wiped her little hands, was gnawing on the little crispy melon, and when she saw her aunt coming, she hurriedly ran over, holding her little chest proudly.
"Make money? Catch lobsters, or catch them? Xiaoqing was stunned, this girl has really made a lot of money this time, and she secretly counted it yesterday and it was almost three hundred, really, no one believes it. The five-year-old child makes his own money, and Xiaoqing feels that he has to show off to his friends when he goes back. These two are really aunts and nieces, but Xiaoqing guessed wrong at this time. "Hehe, it's not a lobster, I know, auntie, you must not guess."
"Aren't these fireflies, does anyone buy this?" When Xiaoqing saw that he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, what's wrong, did he say it wrong? Genuinely puzzled, Xiaoqing opened her eyes wide, looked at a few small radish, and looked back to see Manying smiling and holding a towel to help her child wipe her little face.
"They're talking about snails, and a few kids caught a lot of snails just now." Manying smiled and nodded, and the little baby who washed the little face on the side raised his hand and said loudly, "The baby knows, Dad said that Mom still has more pet stores to buy snails to feed small fish, three yuan a catty." ”
"Three? It's cheaper than lobsters, how many can you catch? Xiaoqing was stunned, I really want someone to buy things, but the snail is a little bigger, how much is a catty, it's really better to catch a little bit, what about lobsters.
"Uncle said that one person divided twenty catties, and Mengmeng earned sixty yuan." This is Meng Meng's fingers for a long time to calculate, this summer, Meng Meng's arithmetic level has improved linearly, in order not to suffer, calculate how much money she earns, the little girl is very attentive.
"What? Twenty pounds for one person? It's true? Xiaoqing turned her head to look at Manying in disbelief, seeing Manying nodding, a little incredible, and muttered in her mouth, "How is it possible, how is it possible, there are so many snails." ”
