Chapter 40 The sad dung beetle!
"Boss! What do you think? Just talk about it..."
Uncle Zhong was also curious when he saw Li Sao's confident and confusing smile.
"Well! Uncle, you'll know in a while."
After saying that, Li Sao quickly went downstairs, took a few hundred yuan from Qiaojie at the front desk, and went directly to the nearest flower and bird market.
"Can the listener live broadcast mode last unlimitedly? Then I will find you ten permanent listeners..."
The point that Li Sao was confused about before was here. The ordinary effect of a durable room is five times, and it can only become infinitely lasting in the live broadcast mode.
However, it is impossible to find ten people to listen to the bed every time!
Then...if you think about it differently.
If the audience is not human, can it be?
According to the literal requirements of the system, isn’t it enough for the audience to reach ten?
So, isn’t everything done if you replace this audience individual from humans to other small animals in the room?
So Li Sao came directly to the flower and bird market and thought about buying small animals to go back as listeners.
Just so happens that the flower and bird markets in Beijing are generally morning markets. Only when you come early can you see a variety of rare species.
Often, the morning market ends around eight o'clock.
Li Sao has never been a well-behaved child since she was a child. His favorite thing to go to the nearby flower and bird market.
Cricket sellers!
Flirting with the starlings.
There are also hypes of various sky-high orchids.
A noisy morning market for flowers and birds in Beijing can be said to be a variety of life. You can not only see all kinds of insects, birds, flowers and plants, but also see all kinds of fun faces of mercy.
However, since he entered high school, Li Sao has gradually not visited this flower and bird morning market.
Moreover, in recent years, the enthusiasm of old Beijingers in antiques, flowers and birds has become a little colder with many older generations with advanced skills.
Gone are the days when a cricket can sell tens of thousands of yuan.
There are more and more tall buildings, more and more commercial areas and various entertainment.
It is almost difficult to see any interesting scenes of old and young men on the street cheering and cheering with crickets.
Sure enough, when he rushed to the flower market, Li Sao found that only Lao Liutou's family was still selling crickets, and several other time-honored brands had gone bankrupt and transferred.
"Oh! It's Li Sao! Come on... sit down and have a pot of tea! This is the best rock tea my eldest son brought from Wuyi Mountain. I heard it is a tea tree growing next to Dahongpao!"
Early in the morning, Lao Liu held a teapot and started drinking at the door of the store.
Seeing Li Sao coming from afar, he immediately got up and greeted him excitedly.
"Uncle Liu! Long time no see, how about it? Who won the cricket king competition recently!"
It took five or six years since I came to the morning market, but Li Sao and Lao Liu seemed to have not seen each other for a few days.
"Come on! Nowadays, who has the time to play with crickets?"
Shaking his head, Old Liu sighed and said, "What games do you have to play when you have free time? What kind of female anchors do you have to play when you have rich... Just like my old bones, I still have a bunch of bugs to entertain myself."
"That's right! Playing with crickets and fighting crickets requires a lot of people. Only when there are many people can you make a fuss, and only when there are many people can you be mighty! Nowadays, children don't even dare to catch insects. The traditional skill of playing crickets is probably lost!"
Seeing Old Liu's lonely face, Li Sao couldn't help but sigh with regret.
"I won't talk about this anymore! Didn't you go to college? You are not nervous about your studies? Or... don't have a girlfriend? Why did you suddenly think of the old man running away? I'm here when you have time?"
Old Liu squinted his eyes, filled Li Sao's teacup, and said with a smile.
"I! I haven't been here for a long time, nostalgia! Can't it?"
After tasting tea, Li Sao felt a fragrance from nature.
The tea fragrance is to taste slowly, swallow slowly from the tip of the tongue, and then tsk your mouth a few times, allowing the tea fragrance to return to its sweetness.
"Come on! You guy is a typical example of not getting up early without profit. I won a lot of money from the old man when fighting crickets back then. Tell me! What are you doing today? No one is fighting crickets now."
Old Liu's nickname is "Come on," because he always looks like he sees through everything and says "Come on," at any time.
"Haha! Mr. Liu, I'm here today, not here to fight crickets. Buying some insects! It's of great use!" Li Sao didn't hide it and directly pointed out the purpose of the visit.
Old Liu frowned: "You bought insects? What insects? What are you doing?"
"Then you have to see what insects you have first!" Li Sao looked inside. In addition to some cricket cages, there were really a lot of other insects on Old Liu's head.
"Cricket! Earthworm! Scorpion! Snake... all have it! It depends on what you want..."
Wow!
There are so many kinds of monsters in this small store in Lao Liu.
Li Sao looked at it, pointed to the insects in one of the cages and asked, "Mr. Liu! What kind of insect is this? I haven't seen it before!"
"That's a dung beetle, and it's just recently entered."
"Puff! I can understand you selling earthworms and scorpions. Some people use earthworms to fish, while others use scorpions to soak wine. But is anyone really buying it when you are a dung beetle?"
I have heard of the insects like "duck beetle" since I was a child, but Li Sao has never seen them before. He turned out to be like this.
"Come on! Do you think my broken store is supported? Recently, this dung beetle is the sales champion. The few you look at are just samples. After they look at it, they buy hundreds or thousands of them."
After taking a sip of tea, Lao Liu could talk and laugh at this "tasty" insect without changing his face.
"I'll go! Hundreds of dung beetles are buying? I'm sorry, what are these people buying for? Is there too much shit at home?"
After saying this, Li Sao also became interested and curious about who he was, and he actually bought so many dung beetles.
"Do you know the ranch in Jingxi? It was bought by the ranch owners there. A little further away, close to the large ranch in Inner Mongolia, I often go to me to buy dung beetles."
Old Liu looked proud, as if he was doing international commodity trading.
"Buy dung beetle in the ranch? Is it used to increase fertility?"
When Li Sao heard about the "ranch", he understood it completely.
After all, after nine years of compulsory education, Li Sao knew that the fertility of many ranches was maintained by the diligent and honest insects like dung beetles.
The feces pulled out from cattle and sheep were all rolled into dung beads and then buried everywhere in the pasture.
But what's funny is that dung beetles often bury themselves and often forget where their dung balls are hidden.
"However, according to the laws of nature, Mr. Liu, the insects like dung beetle have no natural enemies and should be able to reproduce and survive well in the pastures, and there is no need for additional introductions? Could it be that there is a reason that causes the large-scale death of dung beetle on those pastures?"
When Lao Liu heard this, he couldn't help but praise Li Sao and said, "What if you say, you are the smartest among the children in this area! Those idiots in the ranch gave cattle insecticides to prevent some insecticides, but they didn't expect that the insecticides would remain in the cow dung.
The dung beetles that eat this cow dung have weak limbs and weakened reproductive ability, which has led to fewer and fewer dung beetles in these pastures."
"This... do you mean... these dung beetles... are poisoned?"
Shocked, Li Sao shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that these days, it's not safe to even eat... shit!"
Li Sao felt that the inner slut must be like this.
Drunk: "I won't fight you for anything, I will only eat shit for my whole life! But I never expected that you would poison the shit!"
