Chapter 40: The Sorrowful Shell Lang!

"Little boss! What are your thoughts? Although it is ......"

Uncle Zhong was also curious when he saw Li Sao's confident smile.

"Well! Uncle, you'll find out in a moment. ”

After speaking, Li Sao walked downstairs quickly, took a few hundred yuan from Sister Qiao at the front desk, and went directly to the nearest flower and bird market.

"Can the listener live mode last indefinitely? Then I'll find you ten permanent listeners......"

The point that Li Sao was entangled with before was here, the ordinary effect of the long-lasting room was five times, and only in the live broadcast mode did it become infinitely lasting.

However, it is impossible to find ten people to listen to the bed at a time!

So...... Think about it another way.

If the audience is not human, can it?

According to the literal requirements of the system, the audience only needs to reach ten, isn't it?

So, wouldn't it be all right to change the individual of this audience from a human being to other small animals and keep them in a room?

Therefore, Li Shao went directly to the flower and bird market, and pondered to buy some small animals to go back to be an audience.

It just so happens that the flower and bird market in Beijing is generally a morning market, and only by coming early can you see a wide variety of curiosities.

Often around eight o'clock, the morning market disperses.

Li Sao has not been a well-behaved child since he was a child, and his favorite thing every time he got up in the past was to visit the nearby flower and bird market.

Selling crickets!

Fiddling with starlings.

There is also speculation about all kinds of sky-high orchids.

A noisy morning market of flowers and birds in Beijing can be said to be a variety of life, not only can you see all kinds of insects, birds, flowers and plants, but also see all kinds of fun faces.

However, since he went to high school, Li Sao has gradually not come to this flower and bird morning market much.

Moreover, in recent years, the enthusiasm of the people in the old capital in antiques, flowers and birds has also become a little cold with the passing of many skilled older generations.

The days when a long-lasting cricket could sell for tens of thousands are gone.

There are more and more high-rise buildings, more and more commercial areas and various entertainments.

It's almost hard to see the interesting pictures of the old and young masters on the street, cheering and shouting with crickets.

Sure enough, when he rushed to the flower and herb market, Li Sao found that Lao Liutou's family was still selling crickets, and several other time-honored brands had closed down and transferred.

"Yo! It's Li Sao! Come on, come on...... Sit down and drink a pot of tea! This is the best rock tea that my eldest son brought from Wuyi Mountain, and I heard that it is a tea tree that grows next to Da Hong Pao! ”

Early in the morning, Lao Liu Tou was holding a teapot and drinking happily at the door of the store.

When he saw Li Sao coming from a distance, he immediately got up excitedly to greet him.

"Uncle Liu! Long time no see, how's that? Who won the recent cricket king competition! ”

I haven't been to the morning market for five or six years, but Li Sao and Lao Liu Tou seem to be familiar with each other as if they haven't seen each other for a few days.

"Come on! In these years, who still has the time to play crickets! ”

Shaking his head, Lao Liu Tou sighed for a while and said, "What games do you play when you have leisure, and what kind of female anchors do you play when you have money...... Just my old bones, I still have a bunch of bugs to amuse myself. ”

"Yes! Playing crickets and fighting crickets is to have a lot of people. Only when there are more people can there be coaxing, and only when there are more people can they be mighty! Today's children don't even dare to catch insects, and they are afraid that the traditional skill of playing crickets will be lost! ”

Seeing Lao Liu's lonely face, Li Sao couldn't help but sigh along.

"Don't talk about that! Didn't you go to college, kid? Not stressed about schoolwork? Or is it ...... Don't have a girlfriend? Why did you suddenly think of running old man and me when you were so free? ”

Old Liu Tou squinted his eyes, filled Li Sao's teacup, and said with a smile.

"Me! It's been a long time, nostalgic! Isn't it okay? ”

As soon as he tasted the tea, Li Sao felt a fragrance from nature.

This tea fragrance is to taste it slowly, slowly swallow it from the tip of the tongue, and then sip it a few times in the mouth, and let the tea fragrance return to sweetness.

"Come on! You kid is a typical unprofitable can't afford to be early, and you didn't win the old man's money back then. Go ahead! What are you doing today? There's no one fighting crickets anymore. ”

Lao Liu's nickname is "Come on", because he looks like he sees through everything all day long, and he comes to the sentence "Come on" at every turn.

"Haha! Uncle Liu, I'm not here to fight crickets today. Buy some bugs! It's useful! Li Sao didn't hide it, and directly pointed out the meaning.

Lao Liu Tou frowned: "You buy worms?" What bugs? What is it for? ”

"Then we'll have to see what worms you have!" Li Sao looked inside, except for some cricket cages, Lao Liu, there were really a lot of other insects.

"Crickets! Earthworm! Scorpion! Snake...... Both! Depends on what you want......"

Ooh!

Lao Liu's small storefront is really varied, and there are all kinds of demons and monsters.

Li Sao looked at it, pointed to the insects in one of the cages and asked, "Uncle Liu!" What kind of worm is this! I've never seen it before! ”

"That's the shell, the one who only came in recently."

"Poof! You sell earthworms and scorpions or something, I can understand that. Some people fish with earthworms, some use scorpions to soak in wine. But you shell Lang in, is anyone really buying it? ”

I've heard of insects like "Shell Lang" since I was a child, but Li Sao has really never seen it, it looks like this.

"Come on! Do you think my shop is supported by something? Recently, this shell Lang has been the sales champion, and the few you see are just samples. After people were optimistic, they bought hundreds or thousands. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Lao Liu Tou could talk and laugh at this "tasteful" insect without changing his face.

"I'll go! Hundreds of people buying shells? With all due respect, what are these people buying for? Could it be that there is too much in the house? ”

was said like this, Li Sao was also interested, curious about who would buy so many shells.

"Do you know the ranch there in Jingxi? It was bought by the ranch owner over there. A little farther away, the big ranches near Inner Mongolia often come to my side to buy shells. ”

Lao Liu Tou looked proud, as if he was doing international commodity trading.

"Ranch to buy shell lang? Is it used to increase fertility? ”

Hearing "pasture", Li Sao completely understood.

After all, he has received nine years of compulsory education, and Li Sao knows that the fertility of many pastures is maintained by diligent and honest insects like Shell Lang.

The manure pulled out by cattle and sheep everywhere was rolled into one dung ball after another by the shells, and then buried everywhere in the pasture.

But the funny thing is that the shells often bury themselves, and they often forget where their dung balls are hidden.

"However, according to the laws of nature. Uncle Liu, there are no natural enemies for insects like Shell Lang, and they should be able to reproduce and survive well in the pasture, and they don't need to be introduced at all? Could it be that there is some reason for the mass death of the shells of those ranches? ”

As soon as Lao Liu Tou heard this, he couldn't help but praise Li Sao and said: "How else to say it, your kid is the most clever among the children in this area!" Those fools on the ranch gave the cattle insect repellent to prevent some insect pests or something, but they didn't expect that the insect repellent had residues in the cow dung.

The fecal shells who ate this kind of cow dung all had weakness in their limbs and weakened reproductive ability, which led to fewer and fewer fecal shells in these pastures. ”

"This, this, this...... What do you mean...... These husks...... Poisoned? ”

Stunned, Li Sao shook his head and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that this year, even eating ...... It's not safe to! ”

Li Sao felt that the heart of the shell Lang must be like this.

Shell Lang: "I don't rob you of anything, I only eat for the rest of my life...... Excrement! But I never thought that you would poison the! ”
