After the cricket fight, the two returned to the fence wall of the field to continue their work.
But after the big battle just now, Lai Shun'er was obviously a little absent-minded about his work, and he made a few mistakes in a row, which made Xizi complain.
"Hey, Kiko, what do you think these bugs we play with compare to those in our hometown?" Lai Shun'er asked suddenly.
"It's eating, feeding, and bathing, so it's definitely a lot stronger. The yellow jute seeds I just now, just rushed to the teeth, and I didn't dare to say anything else, I wanted to take it back to Mopanzi Village and sweep it away. When Kiko mentioned jute seeds, her heart ached with pride.
"That's it......" Lai Shun'er frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
Ten minutes later, seeing that he still had that expression, Kiko felt a little strange.
"What do you think, you won't still feel sorry for the hundred dollars, as for it."
"Don't be. Hey, you know what, it's the time of year, and it's hot to fight crickets outside. I've heard that some games are tens of thousands of dollars if you win or lose a game. Lai Shun'er said.
The folk of Jiaodong Province have the tradition of fighting crickets since ancient times, and also have several well-known cricket production areas, which have formed a certain scale of industrialization with the continuous improvement of market heat over the years.
Of course, there is usually a habit among the people in our country, that is, as long as anything can be touched with a little competition, winning or losing, it will be immediately used for gambling. This is especially true in the cricket market.
Although in order to advocate the building of socialist spiritual civilization and to protect the pure and kind masses of the people who do not know the truth from being poisoned by decadent ideas, the bureau has continuously dispatched police forces to crack down on them, yielding fruitful results and cracking large sums of gambling money, it has still been repeatedly prohibited.
In recent years, the corresponding countermeasures and methods of various lawbreakers have been renovated, becoming more and more secretive, and the difficulty of searching has also increased.
Even the kind of formal competitions that are officially approved, publicly debuted, and claimed to promote traditional culture will inevitably be started on the periphery. The grand occasion of the TV broadcast contest attracted enthusiasts, and it was even more difficult to check.
"What, you still want to use the crickets on the island to play games and make money?" Kiko's eyes lit up when she heard this.
That's a good idea. Judging from the few crickets that have passed through recently, after the above conditioning process, they are indeed brave enough. If you get it right, you may have to fight with those high-priced and expensive varieties.
The cricket market is very hot, many wealthy people have joined it, and the stakes are getting bigger and bigger, and I heard that the total amount of underground money flowing into the market is hitting a new high every year.
"If that's what I want, I can really try it. I'm afraid that Brother Chenzi will not agree. Lai Shun'er frowned and thought about it, and then expressed her worries.
"You talk to him well, Brother Chenzi just bought the island, and he hollowed out all the old foundations, and now he is very short of money." Kiko's interest soared, and she hurriedly encouraged.
"Cheng, I'll give him a call." Lai Shun'er nodded. So he put down the thorn strip in his hand, took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his clothes hanging next to him, walked north to a high place, and dialed Jiang Yichen's number.
Ten minutes later, Lai Shun'er came back with a drooping face.
"What's wrong, he doesn't agree?" Kiko looked at his face and was immediately disappointed.
"Alas, I just told me about the situation, and Brother Chenzi blocked me back at once. He said that the places outside where gambling money is now very complicated, there are all kinds of nonsense people, and they are often copied by the bureau, and it is easy to get into trouble. Let's stop thinking about these crooked ways to make money, and honest farming is the right thing to do. He also specially instructed me to keep an eye on you kid and don't come nonsense. ”
"Hey, why don't you just look at me, I haven't done anything?" Kiko yelled a little aggrieved.
"That's what he said, and I don't know it. Forget it, let's still work, let's just play with ourselves. Lai Shun'er shook her head and took a wattle in her hand again.
Xizi shook her head and sighed again, complaining that Brother Chenzi was timid and afraid, and the great opportunity to make money was wasted.
The two of them worked tirelessly, and after forty minutes, they finally finished the fence and left a movable door.
"Let's go, go back." Lai Shun'er greeted.
"Hey, wait. Otherwise, let's change the way and sell the crickets, and if we don't participate in the competition directly, then there will be nothing. "Kiko is still not reconciled and comes up with a compromise method.
Lai Shun'er pondered it for a while, and thought it was a good idea, catch a batch of crickets on the island, and then use vegetables and special nutrient water to recuperate for a few days, and take them outside to sell. If you don't participate in gambling fights, you will naturally not have those messy troubles.
In order to convince Brother Chenzi, the two began to discuss the details of the plan.
As for the place of sale, it is also readily available. There is a flower, bird, fish and insect market on the edge of the south city of the Yangtze River, every autumn, cricket dealers from all walks of life gather over, I heard that the supply and demand are booming, and the trade is very hot.
I am afraid that I don't have the leisure time to rent a place to set up a stall directly, but there is a shop there that specializes in this business, and it is also purchased from the outside world, mainly to earn the difference. Just look for them.
In the evening, Jiang Yichen received a call from Lai Shun'er again, still about the construction of crickets, and provided a fairly detailed plan.
He couldn't help but laugh dumbly, these two boys were quite positive about these little fighting insects. However, what Lai Shun'er said also makes sense, if you don't participate in gambling fights, it shouldn't be a big problem just to sell some crickets. And now that money is tight, it seems worth considering making some extra money without affecting the main business.
"Brother Chenzi, you have to hurry up to do this, it's mid-October now, and this cricket won't have a few days to jump." Seeing that he had no objection, Lai Shun'er felt that there was a door, so he stepped up his reminder.
Jiang Yichen pondered for a while and replied:
"Okay, since you want to get it, I'll leave it to you. In this way, as long as you can sell it, no matter how much, after deducting the cost, you and Kiko can share 30% of the profit. But there are two things to keep in mind, first, don't delay your serious work for this; Second, it is absolutely forbidden to participate in any form of gambling outside the home. Otherwise, I will not spare it. ”
This matter is still let Lai Shun'er take the lead, and he doesn't have the heart to toss it.
"Oh, that's good. Brother Chenzi, don't worry, I remember. ”
Hearing this not low sharing plan, Lai Shun'er was extremely excited and hurriedly agreed.
Then he offered to buy a batch of cricket jars to bring to the island, and the cheapest one on the market would do. Naturally, this can only be purchased by Jiang Yichen.
So, Lai Shun'er and Xizi used flashlights and nets to carry out a large-scale search and arrest operation on the island overnight.
At night, the crickets are active, and their biggest natural enemy, the chicken, is resting in the chicken coop at this time. There will be no impact on the operation.
In addition, the crickets on Yunsha Island obviously lack anti-search and arrest experience, and their vigilance is very low. In less than two hours, hundreds of bugs were caught.
It was estimated that it was almost over, and the two returned to the cave base with the loot.
Under the light, the crickets in the three net pockets were revealed, and they crawled around in panic one by one. There are different colors and varieties, and it is not an exaggeration to call them varied.
"Hey, it's all average, nothing special. There is not even an ink gold, gold-winged black, oil yellow, crab roe or anything, let alone purple yellow and pot black. Kiko stared at it with wide eyes for a long time, and was slightly disappointed that she didn't find any high-end goods.
"It's still purple and yellow, and the pot is black, you can figure it out. Even if you go to those places in Zhanyang now, you may not be able to find them, and you have to rely on luck. Be content, and it's good to pick a few good ones from here. By the way, don't be stunned, go get the cardboard box. Lai Shun'er said disapprerovingly.
This is not a famous brand production area, and the probability of encountering high-end varieties is naturally extremely low, so this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Xizi took the prepared cardboard boxes and put them on the table, because the cricket jars couldn't be bought for a while, so she could only use this to make do with it for the time being.
Regarding the selection and conditioning of crickets, Lai Shun'er understands that the current resources and personal energy are very limited, and it is impossible to raise all the crooked melons and cracked dates.
So all the crickets were passed through the sieve, and after careful selection, only about 20 crickets were left that were relatively large, complete and in good condition. Don't do anything else.
Xizi took all the eliminated captives outside the cave, found a piece of grass and released them collectively, and the little ones jumped and jumped, and escaped after a while.
