Chapter 528: A Little Gain
"Wouldn't it, so little?" Liu Junqi exclaimed. [.cm I]
"What do you think ......?"
After listening to Liu Wuye, his dream of making a fortune was finally awake.
In fact, Liu Junhao was also a little surprised, the only time he came into contact with musk was to follow Old Man Liu to the countryside to sell thirteen incense. At that time, Old Man Liu suffered from laryngitis, which was considered a disease in the countryside, and adults endured it and rarely went to the doctor. The old man's throat hurt so badly that he asked Liu Junhao to follow him and shout at the top of his throat.
When passing by Sankeshu Village, he happened to be seen by an old Chinese medicine doctor, who saw that Old Man Liu was in unbearable pain and immediately diagnosed him. At the end, the other party went home and took out a few pills, which were mixed with musk by themselves, and had a good effect on swelling and analgesia. Then, as he did, after taking a few pills, Old Man Liu's throat was completely healed.
This was the only experience he had ever had with musk, and he hadn't seen the real thing, so he didn't know that a roe deer gave birth to so little.
But when I think about it, I think it's normal, scarcity is expensive, and anything is worthless. If this musk is as much as the cabbage in the field, it is estimated that no one will want it for a dollar and a half.
He didn't really expect to make a lot of money with musk, he was just joking. If you really want to make a lot of money, your own space is the best cheat, that is, hidden and safe. If you use it well, the wealth will definitely roll in. However, this idea is only a dream when I am idle and bored, and I never want to realize it. He really became a multimillionaire, and he couldn't sleep at night.
There is no way, I have a serious sense of farming, and I belong to the type of turtle. No ambitions...... Now his own life is also considered to be healthy, guarding his wife and children's hot kang. It's okay to live a plain life, and there's no need to have mixed ideas.
Now calling Liu Wuye over, it's more of a curiosity about musk.
"Hao, call Goku and Pi. Let's go up the mountain to look for it, I haven't seen a roe deer in many years. Liu Junqi treated this matter more enthusiastically, urging beside him.
"This ......" Liu Junhao wanted to go, but his family couldn't do without people at all, and he couldn't bring the second eldest to the mountain.
"I'll show you at home," Old Man Zhao knew his difficulties and spoke.
In this way, Wukong Pi led the way in front, and Liu Junhao and others followed behind and walked towards the back mountain.
It's not far to walk to the mountain road. Goku stopped, pointing to the grass and squeaking. Apparently, the musk was picked up in the grass.
Liu Wuye stretched out his hand and pulled a few times in the grass, pointed to a few hoof prints and said, "It looks like a roe deer has walked by." Next, let's look at the ability of the skin. โ
As Liu Junhao gave the order, Pi immediately smelled in the grass, and quickly took a step and ran away. It had just run forward a hundred meters before it suddenly stopped and kept spinning around a rock. The nose is closed one by one. An impatient growl came from his mouth. Seeing that the owner did not react, the skin was picked up with his claws.
"Lost?" Old Man Wang was puzzled and asked in confusion.
Liu Junhao shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be" He was very confident in Pi, he must have found something. He crouched down. Look carefully for areas where macular skin has smelled.
Sure enough, a few more dark brown sรจ particles were soon found. Liu Junhao pinched the particles in his hands. The scent drilled into the nostrils again.
"Good fellow, Hao. If I'm right, there's a real chance you're going to make a fortune. Seeing these dark brown things, Liu Wuye put them in the bottle with his heart, and then tightened the cap.
"Fifth Master, what's going on?" Liu Junqi asked again.
"I've heard old people say that roe curtain not only eats grass, but also eats snakes and insects to store incense. Generally, in autumn and winter, the sachet is filled and becomes a pill, which is also the estrus season of the roe deer.
When it passes through the junction, it will rub its belly on the stone or tree bark to make the incense pill roll down, which is equivalent to leaving a signal to its own kind, and the female roe deer will follow it when it smells it. Let's let Pi look all the way, maybe we can find the feces and urine that can be pulled by the roe deer, and it will definitely be no problem to pick half a penny musk when the time comes. "This old man just asked Liu Junhao not to be excited, but now he has to be passionate.
"Wait, old man, why does this have anything to do with and pee?" Liu Junhao was a little confused when he heard it.
"There used to be this old saying, 'Roe deer poops - the aroma is soaring'. The aroma that appears here is musk. The roe deer rubs the belly sometimes with too much force, which will remove the incense pills. The scent is so strong that it will poop and urinate on it to cover it up in order to prevent other animals from following the smell. In the past, people who went up to the mountains to hunt liked to encounter this situation the most, and they didn't even need to look for the roe deer, just look for it in the pile of feces and urine. Regarding this set of methods, Liu Wuye also listened to the older generation.
Pi quickly verified the correctness of this method, and when he came to a three-way intersection, Macular Pi suddenly stopped and sniffed at the trunk of the tree.
"This is roe deer dung," Liu Wuye was like a treasure to the black and brown sรจ under the tree. He crouched down to look at it a few times, then broke a branch from the side and carefully pulled it through the dung.
That focused look, meticulous movements...... The cold color makes people think they are panning for gold when they see it.
It's no different from panning for gold, and the price of musk is even higher.
Liu Wuye picked and chose among the roe deer feces, and it took nearly half an hour before he raised his head and handed over the bottle: "Hao, just take it back and rinse it with water a little." โ
"Old man, this thing is still in your place, I don't know how to dispense medicine, it's useless to put it there in me." Liu Junhao shook his head and refused.
In fact, he really looks at the odds...... A few dollars of musk haven't been seen yet.
"Take it, this is your Wukong's skill," Liu Wuye didn't want anything.
The two men were prevaricating when Pi suddenly screamed and rushed out like a sword.
Then I saw a wild thing with straight ears, slender limbs, gray-brown hair, earthy yellow spots on its back, thin as a sheep, and similar to a deer in the grass not far away.
The animal, which had been coming in this direction, saw a hound rushing out of front of it, and immediately turned around and ran wildly with all four hooves. During the run, its nose kept puffing, dozens of meters away, and they faintly heard the frightened sound of "poof, poof".
"Roe deer!" Liu Wuye exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing that the macular skin was about to knock down the roe deer after a few more runs, Liu Junhao hurriedly shouted: "Pi, come back!" "This thing is very rare in the jungle nowadays, and one is missing from killing one.
Pi didn't understand why his master suddenly shouted to stop, but he still turned around and returned honestly.
The gray-brown figure jumped in the grass and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"That's the roe deer, so!" Liu Junqi tiptoed and looked around, he hadn't seen it yet, so he couldn't find it.
"Don't worry, the roe deer will not give up the mountain, since it appears here, it will definitely come back in the future, you see." Liu Wuye spoke again.
Like many wild animals, roe deer are territorial. Usually activities, foraging, and resting will choose a certain route and place. If you get used to living in a certain area, you rarely take the initiative to leave. Even if frightened, it will soon return to its original place.
After a few words of explanation, Liu Wuye wanted to hand over the musk again.
"Fifth master, then take it, there is no shortage of that money. If you really want to express it, it's a big deal to give him a pair of migraine medicine in the future. Liu Junqi was impatient with the two of them and spoke.
As soon as he was, Liu Wuye didn't continue to let go, nodded and put the bottle away.
After reading the excitement, Liu Junhao pondered this and called Wang Junfeng of the Lingya Feline Lovers Association after returning home, and told him the news that there were roe deer infestations in Liujiagou.
Some time ago, they had already gone into the mountains to take away the far-infrared camera, and they were going back to analyze and compare data, and it was estimated that it would take one or two months to study the results.
"Wait" As soon as he walked to the side of the mountain stream, Liu Junqi suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" His voice was abrupt, which startled Old Man Wang.
"What do you see there?" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the mountain stream not far ahead.
"Wild bees, water bees, you want to find a hive?" Seeing the swarms of bees drinking water by the mountain stream, Liu Junhao was the first to understand. The man in front of him is a good hand at picking wild honey, and he has to go up the mountain to cut honey at this time of year.
"Well, keep up with them, let's cut some honey later, it's not for nothing." Liu Junqi paid close attention to the bees hovering above the mountain stream.
"I'm afraid this is not easy, who knows how far their nests are, bees usually fly far away." Old Man Wang asked.
"Hehe, yours are worker bees collecting honey, most of the water collecting bees are old bees, and they generally don't fly too far, this hive must be nearby." In the past two years, Liu Junqi has summed up a lot of experience in picking honey in the mountains.
"See, when the bees descend and take off, they fly in circles, if they fly in a counterclockwise circle when they come to collect water, and go back in a clockwise circle, it is clear that the beehive is on the left side of the mountain. If the direction of the circle is the opposite of this, the hive is usually on the right side of the mountain. In addition, looking at the number of laps, one lap is about one kilometer, and two laps are two kilometers. โ
In this way, several people changed direction and followed the water bees.
Bees also make nests regularly, mostly in sunny and open areas. In particular, large trees with hollow holes at the edge of the forest are the preferred places for them to nest. In addition, there are many gaps in stones, so that they can shelter from the wind and rain, and then they are on the river embankment, at the foot of the wall, and in the abandoned houses.
In the early years, picking wild honey was a routine thing for the villagers to do every year. In late autumn and early winter, when the honey in the hive is the most abundant and fragrant, people in the village will go into the mountains to look for the hive in groups of three or five, carrying wooden barrels on their backs.
When you first find the hive, light an artemisia torch directly upwind and smoke it, and then hit the hive with a stick. When the nest is threatened, the bees will rush out desperately, only to be dizzy by the smoke and fall to the ground. This method was simple and crude, and was later abandoned. Now most of them wear raincoats and rain pants, cover their bodies up and down, and go directly to cut honey. (To be continued.) )
