Chapter 17 Pest Control (Hundred Refinements for the Leader(1/2)
When he returned to Lujia Village, Lu Dong had just entered the orchard, Hu Chunlan asked, "Have you had lunch?"
"I've eaten." Lu Dong thought about the situation in Quannan today and said, "Mom, I sold the vinegar plate..."
Before the following words were released, Hu Chunlan said, "Save the money yourself, don't spend it randomly. I'll ask you for it if you need it." She asked with concern: "Aren't you going to inquire about leeches and cicada monkeys? How about it?"
"Someone specializes in the city market." Lu Dong said roughly.
Hu Chunlan sighed: "It's good to have more money to make a living. Dongzi, don't go out and say it."
Lu Dong is not that saint: "No."
What Hu Chunlan said to him was not the same as the same thing: "If you don't come, you're a joke in the village. I'm old and it doesn't matter. It won't affect you. It will embarrass you. You should find a wife after school."
Lu Dong automatically ignored the last sentence: "Mom, I'm thick-skinned and it's okay."
Then, he realized something, as if my mother had no intention of asking him to go to school again.
I think so, I have been a super poor student for many years, and even if I have hope, it will be shattered long ago.
Hu Chunlan returned to the house and told Lu Dong: "I ran for a whole morning and went to bed for a while."
In the morning, Lu Dong didn't say much, rode on the 28th Great Bar and went back to the old house and slept for half an hour.
In the afternoon, Lu Dong began to make money.
In the case of Zhengda Auction, blind cats meet dead rats.
There must be a stable source of income, even seasonal leeches and cicada monkeys.
Lu Dong took out 1,000 yuan, put it in the Chinese dictionary of high school, and put it in a cardboard box containing the textbook.
The cicada monkey is about to be in the evening, and there will be in the leech river.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Dong thought of two ways to catch lees, one was to catch fishing nets and fishing at the same time; the other was to look for water hyacinths.
The former has been tried, but the efficiency is average, and Lu Dong plans to try the latter.
He found a long bamboo pole with a hook on it, which was used to fold the tender buds of Chinese toon trees in spring.
After pulling a black convenience bag, Lu Dong carried the bamboo pole and went to the Jijie Gate, intending to walk north along the river bank.
The flood dissipated, and the water level of Qingzhao River had returned to normal in previous summers. Because the water flow rate slowed down, large areas of water hyacinths accumulated on both sides of the river.
Lu Dong stood by the embankment, with the bamboo pole hooking the water hyacinth and dragging it up hard.
The roots of this thing are connected together, and they are all piece by piece.
It took a lot of effort to drag it up.
Lu Dong pulled the leaves and roots to find lees.
Many things come out when I don’t look for them and go looking for them specifically, but I don’t think so.
After rummaging for a while, Lu Dong was a little disappointed. There were lees in the water hyacinth, and there were more than a dozen of them in the piece he pulled up.
The problem is that it is too small, not to mention five centimeters, but fewer than three centimeters.
Lu Dong only found two or more than five centimeters.
After throwing it in his pocket, Lu Dong pushed the water hyacinth back into the river and then pulled the new water hyacinth. This time, there were few people who pulled up, and even a big leech was not found.
The water hyacinth was dragged four or five times in a row, and a total of six were arrested.
This life is not easy, completely different from what I imagined, with many lees and few big ones.
Any money-making job is not easy to do.
Lu Dong was not discouraged. While using this stupid method, he thought about whether there was a better way.
The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. Although the northeast wind was still blowing, the blazing sunlight fell and the temperature rose sharply.
After searching for more than 100 meters, Lu Dong had less than twenty pieces, which was really too small.
A jujube tree stretched in on the outside of the river bank to block out a piece of shade. Lu Dong took off his sweaty top and stood in the shade to cool down.
When I put down the bamboo pole, I encountered a jujube branch and a bug fell from the tree.
Lu Dong subconsciously moved a step and the insects landed on the dike.
The insect is two centimeters long, yellow-green, and has fine thorns on its body.
Lu Dong quickly walked away. It was itchy and spicy. The thorns penetrated the body and itchy and painful. The taste was so good that I had no friends.
This thing is everywhere in the countryside, from poplar trees, locust trees to various fruit trees, to corn trees, and it is simply everywhere.
You don’t even have to show up, the thorns left among the leaves on the tree can make people feel depressed.
It carried the shadow of countless people climbing trees to pick fruits.
Lu Dong hid far away and looked again, and found that there were so many itchy and spicy foods on the jujube tree, which was flooding.
No one cares about the wild ones.
Thinking of the fact that there were jujube trees and sour jujube trees in many places outside the river embankment, Lu Dong put on his clothes honestly and continued to drag the water hyacinth. When the sun was west, it arrived near the triangular dam and harvested more than 40 pieces in total.
It looks like a lot, but it is not continuous. It is difficult for the areas you have searched for to have big lees in a short period of time.
On the triangular dam, the fishing nets were scattered and opened, and Lu Jianren sat on the Sanhe soil, swallowing clouds and fog.
Lu Dong carried the bamboo pole over and said, "Uncle Qi, when will he go to the construction site of the university town?"
"I'll go tomorrow." Lu Jianren let out a sip of smoke and frowns: "I can't bear to leave our river, water, and fish..."
Only when Lu Dong believed it was a ghost: "You can't bear to leave it alone."
No matter what, Lu Jianren is an elder, and Lu Dong can only stop when he clicks.
Lu Jianren threw cigarette butts into the river and asked Lu Dong: "What are you doing?"
"Catch the leech." Lu Dong squatted down.
Lu Jianren took out the cigarette and lit it: "Dongzi, okay, I want to eat this bite! Your seventh uncle has experience. First, boil it thoroughly in boiling water, dry it with garlic sauce, then roast it over heat, and take a bite and make it crispy."
"Stop!" Lu Dong didn't say so hard: "I'll catch it and sell it."
In order to prevent Uncle Qi from making unreliable words again, he quickly asked, "Uncle Qi, is there any way to catch lees in large quantities?"
Lu Jianren was good at dealing with those who ran on the ground, flying in the sky, and swimming in the water. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "The leech cannot smell the smell of blood, and blood can hide from the mud. If you have it, go to the iron rooster to steal a few chickens, rob the blood and throw it into the river..."
Lu Dong has decided to change his past: "Uncle Tie will fight hard for me."
Lu Jianren also said: "Iron roosters often kill chickens, kill the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to sell white chickens. You go to him to ask for some chicken blood, find something to apply and throw it into the river, and try making a bait nest."
"It's a solution."
Lu Dong continued to fish for water hyacinths and looked for lees. After the sun set, he went back to the orchard and went to the chicken farm.
It is the hot time in July, and before I even arrived at the chicken farm, I smelled the pungent smell of chicken manure.
Even rural people can't withstand the rich and mellow taste of chicken manure.
After staying in this environment for a long time, you will naturally get scented and you will not smell it.
As soon as he entered the chicken farm, Lu Dong saw someone and greeted him: "Aunt Tie."
"Dongzi, why are you here?"
Aunt Tie has a very high recognition, as thick as her shoulders to her feet, and her personality is exactly the opposite of Uncle Tie. She is generous and refreshing.
There was a room where the curtain was opened, revealing the face of a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, with curved eyebrows and a naturally smiling face.
She asked with a smile, "Brother Dong, are you still going to fish?"
"Lanlan." Lu Dong called out: "I'll go to Triangleba to find me before dinner tomorrow."
Lu Lanlan was happy: "Good come!"
Aunt Tie said, "This girl is greedy. Dongzi, don't listen to her. You just gave her a big silver carp."
Lu Dong smiled and said, "Auntie, I happened to ask for something to use, just use the fish for it."
"What do you want? What do you want?"
In the open chicken coop, the iron cockerel, Lu Jianbin, rushed out with a brisk chicken in one hand and a quick knife in the other.
Behind, a radio sizzled and sang.
"Who am I? I am the one holding the knife..."
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Aunt Tie was unhappy: "Look at what you are like, what are you doing?"
Tie Gongji Lu Jianbin quickly put away his knife: "Dongzi, I just cheated your uncle Tie chicken cage, what are you going to the door again?"
Lu Dong said: "Uncle Tie, can you keep the chicken blood when killing a chicken?"
Aunt Tie was curious: "What are you doing for this thing? You are not for eating it, right? Dongzi, I tell you, you are young and strong, you are already very popular, and you are prone to making mistakes when eating chicken blood..."
Lu Dong quickly explained: "Uncle Qi taught a new trick, I'll put bait in the river."
Aunt Tie waved her hand: "Okay, keep it for you, anyway, it's just thrown away as garbage."
The iron cock, Lu Jianbin, was going to talk, but when he saw his wife agree, he had to hold back.
"Save all the blood to kill chickens recently?" Lu Dong saw Aunt Tie responding and said to the door: "Lanlan, don't forget to get fish tomorrow."
