In the past, the village could not afford to eat meat, and many of them preyed on rats, snakes, pheasants, and rabbits.

Although it is true that every household is in better condition now, every household is in debt this year. Who is willing to pay more than 50 yuan a pound to cut off the pork that may be plagued?

The meat vendors can no longer do their job.

The goods can’t come in, and the meat can’t be sold!

"I didn't let the poisonous dragon leak its breath. I didn't expect that each of them is quite brave."

Jiang Xiaoye went around the village to check, there were really a lot of rats!

"Xiaoye, what good things are you looking for?"

"Just, what are you looking for? Did you lose money?"

Some villagers saw Jiang Xiaoye looking around like he was looking for something, and immediately laughed and joked.

"No, no, I'm just walking around. Haven't you noticed that there are a lot more rats in the village these days?" With such an obvious increase, the villagers should have noticed it by now.

Jiang Xiaoye's words stunned several villagers returning from work.

"I actually saw mice coming out of the chicken coop yesterday, but what's the point? Aren't there mice all the time?"

"A few mice even ate the food I fed my dog. My dog ​​is so cowardly that he didn't even know how to bite him while he watched."

"It seems like rats can be seen running back and forth on the road these past two days."

"A rat plague?"

"No way?"

After Jiang Xiaoye said this, several villagers chatted for a while and soon thought of the problem of rat plague.

"It's not a disaster, but our village has an underground hot spring, which causes the ground temperature to be higher. As you all know, mice who can't find anything to eat naturally come here, and some snakes that are afraid of the cold are naturally attracted.

, they are all mountain rats and some mountain rats, there are no infectious diseases, but you have to be careful with snakes, there must be venomous snakes and the like."

There are all kinds of snakes, Jiang Xiaoye reminded.

After all, some venomous snakes can poison people.

"Then we need to give medicine? In the summer, the house construction in our village makes a lot of noise and the demolition is severe. No rats can be seen. Rat poison has not been used."

"Catch them alive and eat them with fried meat!"

"Hasn't the village used to make dried rat bacon? I remember when I was a kid, there were often people in the village hanging dried rat bacon in their homes."

"Yes, yes, Xiaoye, have you tried it? It's delicious!"

"I have eaten it... my grandfather told me it was rabbit meat before, so I ate it. After eating, he told me it was rat meat, and I almost vomited it out..."

When it comes to dried rat bacon, Jiang Xiaoye has a very vivid memory.

The old man liked to make this kind of thing in the past, and even tricked Jiang Xiaoye into eating it, which caused Jiang Xiaoye to have a lot of psychological shadow.

"Xiao Ye, are these rats not poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous. Don't worry about eating it. The nearest Xiaoyang Village is a few miles away from us. It's impossible to escape from them. Don't worry about infectious diseases. Don't eat it directly then, catch it first.

!”

Jiang Xiaoye had already observed three seconds of silence for these snakes and rats. As expected, the first thing the villagers in Yushan Village thought of was eating.

The power of foodies, the consequences of rising pork prices!

"I'm going to find Grandpa Second. Let's go first!"

I still need to tell the old village chief about this. The only people in the village who know how to do rat work are the old people of Grandpa Second’s generation.

"Uncle is watching a chess game at the Mountain Temple. Xiaoye, you should be busy first!"

"Then I'll go to the mountain temple first!"

Jiang Xiaoye turned around and walked towards the mountain temple.

As soon as we arrived at the mountain temple, the little brown bear rushed out, hugged his legs and started to kick. Is there anything delicious? I'm starving!

"Here, eat!"

Jiang Xiaoye picked up the little brown bear and took out a flower cake from the storage bag.

The little brown bear immediately became happy and started to chew it quickly. Then he complained that his mother would not take me out to find something to eat!

An old man in the mountain temple stretched his head to look around. When he saw Jiang Xiaoye, he smiled and said, "As soon as I saw Xiao Huang running so fast, I knew Xiao Ye was coming. Come on, come on in!"

The only one who can make the little brown bear so urgent is Jiang Xiaoye.

"Grandpa Li, are you playing chess? Is Second Grandpa here?"

Jiang Xiaoye asked with a smile.

"Here, here, come in, Lao Jiang, Xiaoye is looking for you!"

"Looking for me? It won't stop, it won't stop!"

"If you don't play, don't draw, you will lose soon!"

"Who wants to lose? I still have a carriage and a horse here!"

There was a clatter of the chessboard, and it was clear that the old village chief decided to cheat because he was about to lose.

The old village chief took the opportunity to escape.

"Xiaoye, what's the matter?" The old village chief happily started to press his pipe and pick out the tobacco, without blushing at all for being ridiculous.

"The village is about to be overrun with snakes and rats. I thought I could catch these snakes and rats. Didn't I remember that when I was a kid, we often made dried rat bacon?"

Jiang Xiaoye said with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaoye, I know how to make dried rat bacon!"

"Yes, yes, there were rats in the mountain temple, but I don't know why they suddenly died after kicking their legs. It seemed that they were poisoned, and I didn't dare to eat them."

Before the old village chief could speak, several old people counting their ears came over.

The ears work really well.

It would be strange not to die suddenly after entering the mountain temple. He was probably shocked to death by the spiritual pressure of the big brown bear. The death was absolutely complete, and Jiang Xiaoye naturally understood.

"Xiao Ye, what you said is true. There have been a lot of rats in the village these past two days. It's just that no one has given rat poison in the village recently, right? I want to ask, when there was a good harvest of wheat in the farm, at that time

There are so many rats. At that time, if you wanted to catch rats, you could catch more than a dozen rats a day!"

The old village chief was very moved.

The village is so poor this year, they can't even afford pork, and there's no one to do the enema!

All the money has been invested, but you are still heavily in debt. If you owe Zhao 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, it is just a small amount. If you owe the country, 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, it is common, and some have more than one million yuan.

Who is willing to buy pork to eat when they don’t have much money in their hands?

"Making New Year's goods? Xiaoye, we have nothing to do. We are quite good at making dried rat bacon!"

"Yes, Xiaoye, catch me!"

"That's okay. At least there will be meat to eat during the Chinese New Year!"

"These days, I used to have no money to eat meat, but now that I have money, I still can't afford it. No, I can afford it, but I can't bear to eat meat anymore!"

A pound of pork is so expensive that no one in the village is willing to eat it.

"You don't need to catch it. I just let my two yellow men catch it at night. There are also owls. They catch it very quickly. They can just get in and drag it out."

Let the villagers arrest him?

That would be really troublesome. Rats and snakes are not easy to catch.

Jiang Xiaoye mainly came to ask about bacon.

"Can you catch them? OK, OK, OK, let's catch a few tomorrow and make some bacon for the current year. Xiaoye, don't kill that pig. Yunshan said you want to kill a few old sows in the next few days to share with the whole village.

It's not okay to eat meat. Pork is very expensive now."

After hearing this, the old village chief didn't expect Huangpizi and Owl to catch a few.
Chapter completed!
