In one afternoon's work, the harvest can be described as beyond imagination, two whole snakeskin bags. Of course, this is mainly due to the monkeys and squirrels. In fact, he didn't pick much himself.
When Liu Junhao went down the mountain, he weighed it with his hands and found that it weighed about fifty kilograms. There was no way, what he picked were the kind of honeycombs without wasps. They looked huge, but they were not much heavier than cotton.
Liu Junhao naturally couldn't hold down this weight, so he folded a branch, put one on each end of the snakeskin bag, and floated down the mountain.
On the way back, he kept thinking about how much money he could sell for.
One hundred and fifty for one pound, one thousand and five for ten pounds Darling, I don't know, but I was shocked when I calculated it, it was nearly eight thousand yuan. This business is much less labor-intensive than digging for loaches. I will continue to go up the mountain tomorrow and try to filter the nearby mountains as quickly as possible. It is easy to earn ten thousand or twenty thousand.
When she got home, Zhang Qian had already prepared dinner. She was also very surprised when she saw the two snakeskin bags full of hornets' nests. Then, like Liu Junhao, he began to calculate the financial accounts in his mind.
This is a windfall Seeing how easy it was to pick a hornet's nest, even Zhang Qian had the idea of ??going up the mountain. It's a pity that I can only think about it. I still have two little ones to take care of at home.
Those naughty kids couldn't hide the matter at all, and in just half a day, the whole village knew about Huo Jun's high-priced purchase of Mafengwo. As soon as Liu Junhao picked up the bowl in the morning, Liu Junqi had already come over to ask.
Although Liu Junqi had heard what his own child said yesterday, the key point is that Liu Changlin, a naughty kid, was so inaccurate that adults simply couldn¡¯t believe it.
Liu Junhao naturally told the truth After sending the person away, he finally finished the meal. Liu Qiyong called again, followed by Er Mazi
In short, the news spread quickly in the village. After breakfast, people of all sizes were involved. Men, women, old and young all carried bamboo poles and rushed into the forest.
When Liu Junhao led the monkeys and squirrels into the mountain in the morning, he was also startled by the lively scene. With more monks and less rice, he wandered around in the mountains and forests for a long time, but the results were incomparable to yesterday. He only picked half of the bag.
This is good enough. Others have been busy all morning and mostly gained a few kilograms. Of course, there are also those who pick dozens of kilograms in one morning, such as Liu Junqi. This man spent a lot of money and found a large gyro-shaped hornet's nest with a diameter of nearly fifty centimeters. For this reason, Liu Junqi was stung twice.
When he got home, Liu Junhao made a special call to Huo Jun. Let him bring the man who collects hornet nests in the afternoon. Now Liujiagou has accumulated hundreds of kilograms of hornet nests.
After hanging up the phone, he ran to the village again and asked someone to bring the honeycomb to his door in the afternoon.
Good guy, there are so many hornet¡¯s nests piled up in front of Liu Junhao¡¯s door. Spectacular! Zhang Qian hurried back to the house and took out her camera to take pictures, planning to upload them to the 18th floor later.
Despite repeated calls, Huo Jun finally rushed to Liujiagou with a medicinal materials owner. The boss's surname is Chen and his given name is Haijun. Specializing in the business of Chinese medicinal materials.
He was surprised to see so many hornet nests in front of his door, and then said: "So many poisonous hives? This one is worthless."
"Boss Chen, which one are you talking about?" Liu Junqi instinctively felt bad.
¡°That¡¯s it,¡± Chen Haijun pointed at the bucket-sized hornet¡¯s nest. "Although this type is also called exposed honeycomb, its medicinal effect is much worse. It is recorded in medical books that 'poisonous honeycombs are also large hornet nests on trees. They are as big as an urn and as small as a bucket. They are collected in November and February.'"
"You mean you won't accept it?" Liu Junqi's face started to cry, and what he was pointing at was exactly what he had thrown.
¡°It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t charge it, but the price is not that high. It costs forty yuan per catty at most, and the shell has to be peeled off.¡± Boss Chen said again, ¡°The ones that look like small hives are valuable, and most pharmacies charge this.¡±
There are still so many things to pay attention to in the hornet's nest of emotions everyone's expectations have been lowered a lot.
Liu Junhao didn¡¯t care. At that time, he was afraid of being stung by hornets, so he picked mostly small honeycombs.
Boss Chen didn¡¯t hesitate. He simply explained a few words and asked someone to go to the car to get the scale.
"You don't have to go, the weighing pole is standing here." Huo Jun introduced Chen Haijun. He went to Liu Junhao's house to buy mushrooms. He didn't even need to bring a scale and asked people to count the mushrooms directly.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s so magical, I want to see it today.¡± Boss Chen was dubious.
When the driver got the small scale, he pointed at one of the honeycombs and said, "Let's try it."
"No problem," Liu Junhao agreed immediately. Real gold is not afraid of fire, and its effect can withstand testing. He has never used a scale in selling eels and loaches in these years, and he relies on his unique skills.
He first picked up the hornet's nest and casually reported the weight: "Seven pounds and four ounces."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Hearing that there are complete and partial reports, Boss Chen still doesn¡¯t believe it.After he weighed it on the scale, he could only give a thumbs up: "I'm done!"
Then it became simple. Boss Chen picked at the front, Liu Junhao weighed the items, and Huo Jun registered the weight.
It only took more than an hour to weigh the large pile of hornet nests in front of the door.
Liu Junhao picked a total of more than 60 kilograms of hornet nests and sold them for more than 4,000 yuan. This number is not as high as expected, but it is still very gratifying.
The income of Maobaozi and others is not small, more than a thousand yuan.
Liu Junqi was the worst. A honeycomb of such a large size only cost 300 yuan, which was much different from the original estimate. In addition, I got stung twice in vain.
Mafengwo was loading the truck. Before leaving, Huo Jun bought a few pheasants and went back, saying that a customer asked them to take them with him.
After sending the person away, Liu Junhao and his wife began to plan how to spend the money. Including those selling loaches, the total is over five thousand, which will be spent during the New Year! !
But despite all the planning, it seems like I have nothing to spend.
There is no need to go out to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat, and there is no shortage of household appliances. After much deliberation, they can only decide to buy a set of clothes for each person, and buy two electric toy cars for the eldest and second child.

As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is approaching.
As the income of Liujiagou people continues to increase, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger year by year.
During this period, a fat pig was slaughtered almost every day in the village, which was all fed with grain at home. People in Liujiagou actually don't buy much of this pork, most of it is reserved by tourists.
There are also many tourists coming to Liujiagou to celebrate the New Year this year, and many guest rooms have been greeted early.
Liu Junhao also received constant calls during this period. Almost everyone wants to buy pheasants and ducks. He could only say sorry to the phone: the ones he raised at home were taken care of early, and now the rest are for Zhao Guangming.
The weather has been very good this winter, but suddenly on the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month, strong winds started blowing, and then snow fell in the sky. It started with snow particles. It soon turned into heavy snow.
In one afternoon, the house on the ground was completely white.
As soon as it dawned in the morning, Liu Junhao got up and got busy clearing the heavy snow in the yard.
After finishing his work, he took the shovel to the next door and helped Professor Zhao clean.
They were sweating from the busy work of clearing the snow, but the water ducks and Qingzhuang were squawking not far away. The snow was so heavy that there was a thick layer of ice in the ditch in front of the door last night. These little guys who live on water have no food and are now hungry.
Helpless, Liu Junhao and Mr. Zhao had to stop shoveling the snow and chop left and right on the ice with shovels. After smashing a large hole several feet in diameter, the group of waterfowl shut their mouths.
After sweeping away the snow, the rice soup is ready in the rice cooker. Liu Junhao fried some vegetables and went into the house to dress the two little guys.
It was the first time for the two children to see heavy snow, and they screamed with excitement. His eyes were full of curiosity.
It was freezing outside, and Liu Junhao really had no intention of going out for a walk. All day long, the couple stayed indoors, coaxing the children and watching TV.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After Liu Junhao had finished feeding the two little guys, Liu Guangju called over there. It was said that he was asked to bring two yellow-spotted skins. Come and catch the rabbit later.
"Uncle Guangju, it's going to be dark soon. I won't catch any rabbits. It's not interesting to catch these rabbits every now and then."
"No, you have to come. I hope your two yellow spots will make a contribution." Finally, Liu Guangju emphasized: "This is a political mission."
"Uncle Guangju, when did catching rabbits become a political task?" Liu Junhao asked funnyly.
"You don't know. I went to the orchard during the day to take a look. Last night, the orchard was severely damaged by rabbits. Twenty or thirty fruit trees had been gnawed. If this continues, in a few days, they will all be gnawed away. I Prepare for a big battle tonight, surround the orchard with rabbit nets, and try to catch all the rabbits in it." Liu Guangju shouted over there in a tonal tone.
¡°Listening to what he said, it was really a political mission.
Although many people now classify hares as protected wild animals, in Liujiagou, like rats, they are something that everyone wants to beat. The only thing good for humans is that hares are edible.
This thing eats wheat seedlings in winter and spring, and soybeans in summer and autumn.
Now there is a heavy snowfall, and everything is white. The hare has nothing to eat, so it even wants to eat the bark of fruit trees. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not a big deal for a hare to nibble a few mouthfuls of tree bark.
???????????????????????????????????????????? Little did they know that this thing gnawed up the bark of the tree, making people hate it until their teeth started to itch. They stood up on their two hind legs, hugged the trunk with their front paws, and gnawed around the fruit tree. After chewing a circle, if it is full before finishing one circle, it will continue to chew it next time, and then it will??Chew down one.
When the bark of a fruit tree is chewed, it is just like a human blood vessel being broken. The nutrients and water under the roots of the tree cannot be transported upward. When the weather warms up in spring and the bark is blown dry by the wind, the fruit tree will undoubtedly die.
¡° If we really want them to settle down in the orchard, these few acres of land probably won¡¯t be enough. In just half a month, everyone will definitely die.
"Uncle Guangju, when are you going to launch the Rabbit Network?" Liu Junhao has already agreed.
¡°Come over right away, let¡¯s find a few people to discuss it.¡± After saying that, Liu Guangju hung up the phone.
Liu Junhao said something to his wife, then went next door to call Mr. Zhao and asked him if he was going.
Professor Zhao nodded in agreement when he heard that there was fun to watch.
Just like that, the two men led three yellow-spotted dogs and rushed toward the village.
When he arrived at the door of Liu Guangju¡¯s house, he found that almost all the laborers in the village were here, and there were also many tourists. There are more than 200 people in the entire team. If they drive directly into the orchard, they will definitely scare the shit out of the rabbits.
