Chapter 539: Continue to earn pocket money
Liu Junhao doesn't see the money from digging loaches, it doesn't mean that other people are the same. / When Wang Shengli passed through the village, he mentioned the matter of buying loaches at a high price, and immediately many people were busy with shovels. In winter, I am idle at home, and it is good to earn some pocket money, anyway, there are many dry ditches near Liujiagou.
Soon there were a lot of tourists joining in, of course, they were just for fun.
Liu Junhao originally thought that the task was completed, and there was nothing to do with himself. Who knew that just two days later, Xiaowazi and others came to the door with a snakeskin bag.
The snakeskin bag was bulging, and Zhang Qian thought they had gotten something rare. Curiously stepped forward to open the bag, and Mom screamed.
"What scares you?" Liu Junhao glanced over, "Good guy, so many, where did you get it from?" ”
There was a bag full of hornet's nests in the snakeskin bag, no wonder it scared the daughter-in-law.
"This is what we spent two days looking for on the mountain, how about it......" The hairy boy showed off triumphantly, and finally said: "Uncle Xiaohao, you call Boss Wang and say that the hornet's nest is ready, let him collect it." ”
"Wang Shengli collects the hornet's nest, why don't I know?" Liu Junhao asked with some confusion, this person didn't say anything when he came.
He pulled out the phone and called and asked about the acquisition of the hornet's nest.
Wang Shengli was also surprised when he heard about it, and even said that a few children had heard poorly, and he didn't accept this thing at all. The last time he came to the village, he saw a hornet's nest in the tree, so he casually mentioned it, saying that this thing is very valuable in the city, one or two hundred yuan a catty.
"How much, are you sure the price is so high?" Liu Junhao asked. Although the Golden Jade Emperor Hive that I voted for last time was sold for thousands of yuan, it was sold as a handicraft, and the one Liu Junqi sold last year was the same, so it can't be counted.
As far as he knew, there were also people in Mafengwo Town who collected it, but it was only forty yuan per catty, and it was really not worth the risk. If it can really be sold for more than 100, Liu Junhao also has the idea of giving it a try.
Wait for him to ask about the specifics. Wang Shengli was unsure: "I also heard what people said, you can ask someone who knows how to ask." ”
Hanging up the phone, Liu Junhao shook his head at a few children who were full of expectations: "Boss Wang doesn't accept this thing." I'll get you in touch again. ”
Then he dialed Huo Jun's phone, and this time he finally had a definite answer. Huo Jun promised to help go to the city's traditional Chinese medicine market to ask, saying that he would call back in the afternoon.
"Xiao Hao, I've inquired. The hornet's nest costs 300 yuan a kilogram. If you have a lot of them, they can come to buy them. / "Just after lunch, Huo Jun called.
"How much, are you sure?" Hearing the price, Liu Junhao was very surprised. It's a little too expensive. The town collects the hornet's nest, which is simply multiplied.
This hornet's nest on the hill...... Liu Junhao didn't dare to imagine that if the hornet's nest in the nearby mountains was removed, 10,000 yuan would be appropriate. And now the season is just right, the weather is cold, and the hornets are hiding in the firewood and grass piles and stone crevices, and the hornet's nest is not defended at all.
"Of course, Xiao Hao, I found out that this is a way to make a fortune." Huo Jun also looked very excited over there. "I just read the news online. Foods made from wasp pupae are very popular in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, and they are selling like crazy. In Guangzhou alone, more than 5,000 kilograms of wasps are consumed a day, and now many farmers have started wasp breeding.
Why don't you also raise hornets, I'll underwrite them here, how about it, if there is that kind of golden jade queen bee pupae from last year. The price is definitely high. ”
Huo Jun was bewitching vigorously on the other end of the phone, describing a broad road.
"Hornets. How did you raise it, this thing stings! Liu Junhao was also moved by this description. In his opinion. It seems to be really good to raise hornets, anyway, this thing goes out to forage, and you don't need to cāo your heart at all. If there is really such a big benefit, it can be developed into a side business.
"Chun Shang found a hornet's nest in the wild, brought the nest with the hornet, and then made a cage with a fine window screen at home, put them in and raised them, and usually fed some food." In order to make his words convincing, Huo Jun deliberately checked the relevant information.
"That's it, forget it" Liu Junhao heard it and completely dispelled his thoughts. The reason is simple, this way of raising is too dangerous. As long as the window screen is accidentally broken or rotten, the hornets will swarm.
In case it is really poisoned, it is not a few hundred yuan at all. Especially the Golden Jade Emperor Bee, who was really stung by that thing, lost half of his life.
In fact, this thing is simple to raise, if it is not risky, it is not bad to develop into a breeding industry.
But picking a hornet's nest is promising...... Liu Junhao was thinking about it here, and they happened to come to the door. As soon as he finished speaking, several bear children cheered.
These riddlers are busy digging loaches to earn pocket money, and Liu Junhao is also a little idle. told her daughter-in-law that she was quite supportive, mainly because Zhang Qian also knew that there were no hornets in the hornet's nest now.
So, Liu Junhao led the monkey and the squirrel, with the yellow-spotted skin, and marched towards the mountains and forests.
These animals are a little too smart, Liu Junhao just voted for one, and they understood...... After knowing what the owner needed, in less than five minutes, Diandian and Bai Tiao each rushed back with a hornet's nest with a bowl of mouth. As for Wukong, it is even more outrageous, this little guy directly carries back a honeycomb the size of a basketball. Probably because it was too heavy, this guy walked and twisted.
Kouhu...... Liu Junhao saw the honeycomb it was carrying, and hurriedly squatted down and shouted, "Throw it away, Wukong, come here!" ”
The "squeak" monkey did not understand why the owner reacted so much, but he obediently threw the hornet's nest on the ground and ran over.
No hornets flying out? Liu Junhao breathed a sigh of relief. patted the monkey's head and reprimanded: "You are too bold, and you dare to vote for this kind of hornet's nest." ”
In winter, hornets will leave their nests and look for sheltered places such as cracks in walls and haystacks, and spend the winter in groups. But it's talking about the kind of hornet's nest with a big open mouth, not the one in front of you.
This hornet's nest has a hard shell on the outside, which can protect it from rain and frost. Therefore, even in cold weather, hornets rarely leave their nests. In the coming year, they will continue to expand along the old nests, which is one of the reasons why giant beehives frequently appear in many places.
However, like the current weather, they rarely go out unless they are alarmed.
Liu Junhao was very curious about how Wukong took off the hornet's nest without being stung. Is there really no hornets in there?
After waiting for about five or six minutes, he saw that there was indeed no hornet flying out, so he walked over tremblingly and picked up the hornet's nest.
Originally...... What a smart monkey.
Seeing a branch stuffed into the hornet's nest, Liu Junhao couldn't help but praise.
People who often cast hornet's nest know that there are actually many kinds of hornet's nest shapes. There are strip-shaped, the largest Liu Junhao has ever seen, forty or fifty centimeters long. There are also sunflower-shaped ones, which were picked by two squirrels just now, and this kind of wasp generally shelters from winter.
There are also gyroscopic tops, and monkeys get this. The entire honeycomb is tightly sealed, and most of them have only one exit for the hornets to enter and exit. Of course, the bigger ones will have two or three exits.
Wukong, this guy used a branch to block the exit of the hornet's nest directly, no wonder he didn't see the hornet just now.
Liu Junhao sighed very much at Wukong's intelligence, this guy is almost going to become Jing.
However, how to get the hornet inside, Liu Junhao had a headache. Can't even the hornets be sold directly to others? Although hornets are also valuable, I have not heard of any live hornets.
Yes, when he saw the mountain depression next to him, Liu Junhao came up with an idea.
He pulled out a small bundle of fine hair grass from the stone lock space, braided it into a straw rope with three times and divided it by two, and then tied one end of the straw rope to the hornet's nest handle.
After the preparations were completed, Liu Junhao climbed to the top of the depression, and while pulling out the branches, he suddenly threw the hornet's nest down.
As expected, a large swarm of wasps was alarmed and flew up at the bottom of the hill, looking for enemies. Fortunately, the rope woven by Liu Junhao was long enough, so it did not attract the attention of the wasps.
After shaking back and forth more than a dozen times, Liu Junhao slowly dragged the rope sideways, and then quickly pulled up.
The whole process is thrilling, and it's about to catch up with the 007 blockbuster. When the rope was pulled up, seeing that there was no wasp chasing, Liu Junhao took a long breath and turned his head to look at the exit of the small hole.
Before he could react, a wasp flew out of the hole and landed on his arm.
x…… How can there still be a wasp.
Liu Junhao suddenly froze there, holding the hornet's nest in both hands, not daring to move.
But when he saw the hornet's head, he relaxed again, reached out and pinched it, and trampled the hornet off his arm to death.
It's not that Liu Junhao is bold, but because this kind of wasp doesn't sting...... What, this is also the necessary common sense of people who cast hornet's nests.
In fact, there are two kinds of hornets in the hornet's nest, the first has a burnt yellow head with a stinger, and the second has a pale head, which is not stinging. When Liu Qiyong was a child, in order to show that he was bold, he often caught white-faced wasps and played with them, which scared other classmates into screaming.
As for why there are two kinds of hornets in a honeycomb, Liu Junhao is not very clear.
Once he accidentally saw relevant information on the Internet, he learned that emotional wasps, like bees, are also male and female. Worker bees and queen bees are both females with stinging needles. There is no male wind, so naturally it will not sting, and the white-faced wasp is the male peak.
After trampling the hornet to death, Liu Junhao shook a few times uneasily. There is really no more, and there is only one male peak left in the hornet's nest.
Next, under his command, one man and three beasts swept through the mountains.
Wukong and the squirrel have particularly sharp eyes, sweeping all the way through, and few hornet's nests slip through the net. Of course, there are a lot of headache-inducing gyroscope hornet's nests, and Liu Junhao directly asked the monkey to give up. It's not worth it for nearly half an hour to toss around for a hornet's nest. With this effort, I don't know how many hornet's nests I throw.
They climbed three hills in quick succession, and in less than two hours, the snakeskin bags were full.
Liu Junhao saw that it was still early, threw the snakeskin bag into the stone lock, and then continued to lead a few little guys to look for it. (To be continued.) )
