Chapter 418 The Scorpion King

Of course, a fried scorpion was indispensable for dinner. Ye Ying and Xiaohua could not resist Qiqi and Dabizi's urge to urge him. They closed their eyes and took a bite. As expected, the more they chewed, the more they smelled, and soon they wiped out one.

When they wanted to ask for it again, the fat man stopped him with a smile: "One person is only one, and the rest is still to be raised." Ye Ying was so angry that she bulged her cheeks.

Big Braids helped the fat man explain: "This scorpion is poisonous, so you can't eat too much."

Ye Ying lifted her bangs and revealed a few little beans: "I heard that they can use poison to fight poison, and see if they can eliminate the annoying acne."

"You don't need to explain, just like me, just admit it just by being greedy, and you don't need to find a reason." The fat man was also willing to talk to Ye Ying, so he naturally would not miss this opportunity.

After dinner, the fat man leaned against the wall of the kang and discussed with Jia Siqi about raising scorpions. The fat man's idea is still original breeding, just like a frog factory, as long as the density is increased compared to natural conditions.

Jia Siqi disagreed: "Scorpions have relatively high requirements for temperature. If they are under natural conditions, they will have to lie dormant and grow slowly for more than half a year, so it is best to build a special breeding shed, similar to a plastic greenhouse."

The fat man thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible. Scorpions were not like forest frogs and had to be in the wild, so he agreed. However, there are several questions that need to be clarified: "Old Jia, how many years did you say that scorpions will be considered mature?"

"You don't know this, but you dare to raise scorpions. I really convinced you!" Jia Siqi heard that the fat man didn't understand anything.

"Hehe, when I raised earthworms, I didn't know anything. The earth dragon pond has expanded to more than ten now?" the fat man said with a smile.

"Scorpions mature in three years, and they are also egg-grown. After the little scorpion comes out, the female scorpion will be carried on the back. During the breeding season, the female scorpion will be separated from the male scorpion. When the young scorpion reaches the second age, they will also be raised separately from the female scorpion." Jia Siqi first carried out literacy for the fat man.

"What do scorpions eat?" The fat man was very humble and asked if he didn't understand.

"Eat all small insects, and they specialize in live food. This thing has strong vitality. Even if it is not hibernation, you will not starve to death without eating for two months. By the way, the earthworms you raise can be used to feed scorpions."

The fat man scratched his head: "That's not easy to deal with. Where can I find so many live foods to feed them? Just feeding earthworms will definitely have a single nutrition." Although the fat man didn't know much about the food of scorpions, he also knew the reason why he could not eat partial food.

"This is a trouble. If it is summer, it is easy to leave some ventilation vents in the shed and light an electric light at night to attract food. However, artificial breeding requires the temperature to be controlled and scorpions cannot be hibernated. They must be fed live food in winter." Jia Siqi also scratched his head a little. It seems that raising scorpions is not that easy.

"What do scorpions like to eat? Let's raise some at the same time." The fat man is more experienced in breeding and quickly came up with an idea.

Jia Siqi was immediately inspired: "I think it's OK. Earthworms can be used as food for scorpions, and they can also raise turtles. This thing mainly eats plant-based feed, and the breeding cost is low. Crickets are also made, and they are easier to feed."

"Okay, I'll organize a factory for raising scorpions tomorrow." The fat man was always a practical person, so he did it after thinking about it. He discussed the specific structure of the factory with Jia Siqi. After all, Jia Siqi returned to the guesthouse to rest.

The fat man went to the kang and said, "Sleep a lot." Then he glanced at Ye Ying and Xiao Hua with his eyes, meaning: Should you leave too?

Unexpectedly, the two girls gave each other a wink. They were teased by the fat man during the day, and now they can finally take revenge, so they went up to pull the fat man together: "It is not convenient for us to go out to find a stay every day. Brother Fat, you should go to Luchang Water."

When the fat man saw Qiqi leading Benben and others, he also acted as if he was about to rush up. He slipped out and said, "Don't think about eating the scorpions I raised in the future. Little Yingzi, you will have youthful and beautiful beans in the future, don't blame me."

The next day, the fat man transferred more than 20 strong laborers and started to build a factory, which was also located next to the deer farm. After all, this thing is also a dangerous animal. If it is raised in the village, it would be a problem if it runs out.

The little kids were also gathered by fat men early in the morning, and the task was clear: digging the soil. The wild kids were really good, not vague at all, and went up the mountain with a scavenger bag. The fat man was worried, so he sent a few adults to act as bodyguards for them.

The fat man led a group of people to start digging the foundation. The factory covers about five rooms, which is basically the same as building a house. However, it is easier than building a house. It does not require so many glass windows. Just open three or four small windows. However, there must be a vent on the roof, which will open in summer and block it when it is cold.

The house is even simpler. Apart from the scorpion's activity site, the rest is where they live, and adobe bricks are built to build one-meter-high stacks, which are connected crisscrossed.

The young men who worked heard Jia Siqi's gesture for a long time and finally understood: "Oh, it's almost like building a kang hole."

However, in order to prevent scorpions from digging holes and escaping, a layer of bricks must be laid on the ground and then soil is added. Scorpions are really inseparable from soil. They like to dig holes in soil and live in it. In addition, they also need to absorb some trace elements from the soil to meet the needs of growth.

In order to prevent the scorpion from digging holes on the wall, and also considering that the scorpion has a strong climbing ability, Jia Siqi made another move, inlaid a circle of glass under the wall, so that the scorpion could not run away.

As for the five rooms, there are quite a lot of adobe bricks needed, so the fat man organized a group of people to take off the blanks. Fortunately, these tasks are familiar with each other and don’t have to worry too much.

Moreover, this can also reduce costs. After all, adobe does not need to spend money, just work hard. This is not because the fat man is reluctant to spend money to build a brick house. The main reason is that the scorpion is more interested in soil, so he simply uses adobe.

The little kids used it for several weeks to catch a large number of turtles. Raising turtles is easier. Digging a few ponds is similar to raising earthworms, but the surroundings are better, so it is not called turtles to escape.

During this period, the fat man also went to Nanwazi several times, and the rice fields were in full swing. He had plowed again, put the base of fertilizer and lay the pond mud, it was flat, and after the water storage was completed, he was waiting to plant the rice.

Within a month, the construction of the scorpion farming factory was completed, and the fat man moved the scorpions from the wooden box. When he arrived at the new home, it turned out that the scorpions, which were not a nest, began to compete for territory, but as a result, the pliers and tails pierced together and fought against each other.

The space inside the wooden box is wide, and they do not interfere with each other, but they start fighting as soon as they enter the factory. The fat man thought everything was ready, but now he is better. He is in a nest and makes the fat man so anxious that he jumps out.

It was a coincidence that when the scorpion was released, Erfeizi and the others were watching the fun outside. When they saw the scorpion fighting inside, Erfeizi hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Fatty, hurry up and smoke it, I heard Grandpa Sanpao said."

When the fat man heard that it was Wang Sanpao's words, he was like receiving an imperial edict. He immediately brought two hugs of wheat straw and threw them in. After lit it, he raised the grass and immediately smoke rolled. Soon, nothing inside could be seen.

"The smoke seems a bit big. Don't choke the scorpion to death. Hurry up and get the firewood out." Jia Siqi saw this situation and quickly reminded the fat man.

The fat man rushed in again, picked out all the firewood, and then opened the vents and doors of the roof to completely remove the smoke. The fat man choked and squatted on the ground and kept coughing. Qiqi had to stand behind him and knocked him on the back with his small fist.

"Haha, there is no more punch inside!" Erfeizi lay on the small window and looked in for a while, then reported the fat man to a good news. When the fat man heard this, he immediately stopped coughing: "What's going on?"

"After smoking, they all have the same smell, so I won't pinch it." Erfeizi said coquettishly, her small breasts were tall.

"It seems that we can't be careless, we have to fumble while working - there are still too few scorpions inside now. On Saturday afternoon and Sunday, we have to catch more scorpions, and we have to get tens of thousands of them." The fat man saw the scorpions in the house being sparse and felt that it was a waste of resources.

The wild boys all yelled, then pounced on the ground and sat on the ground: "Ten thousand, we can't catch enough even if we skip school every day!"

"You little guys can't stand the test at all. I'll expose them all after a little experiment. No you, I'll go up the mountain to catch them tomorrow." The fat man said with a smile: "But I'm very dissatisfied with your performance this time, and all the rewards will be cancelled half."

When the wild boys heard this, a few of them simply lay on the ground: "Uncle Fatty, you are too stingy--"

The fat man laughed: "I can't even hear the jokes with you. When did the fat uncle's words not count?"

"Oh--" The wild boys cheered together.

"Shh-Scorpion likes quietness, and is not allowed to make trouble in the future. Have you heard?" The fat man stood up with his small eyes.

"Hehe, Uncle Fatty, your voice seems to be louder than anyone else." Erfeizi grinned, then waved his arms and led the Taoists to retreat.

"Fatty, you have to get some scorpion water-absorbing pool, or plastic tea tray, which is just shallow." Jia Siqi looked around and finally remembered a big problem.

"It turns out that the scorpion also drinks water." The fat man also thought that this problem was too important. If the thing makes the scorpion thirst, it would be in vain.

"Scorpions mainly use the surface of the body to absorb water, so putting some pebbles in the water can be called to stay on it."

The fat man blinked his eyes after hearing this: Just drink water, and you can use the water in the wooden box to give them water to ensure that they are healthy and not sick.

The rest is how to replenish the number. The fat man really went into the mountains every day. In less than a week, there were more than 20,000 or 30,000 scorpions in the factory.

The main reason is that the fat man found a pile of stones and directly collected them into the box, then left the scorpion and put the stone back in place. At this speed, he could collect thousands of them a day.

The scorpion farm has finally seen its scale. The fat man estimated that as long as he reproducts for three years, the number can reach hundreds of thousands. At that time, it is estimated that it will be about to reach the scorpion fire and will definitely make a big profit. At that time, I will be the king of scorpions, hahahaha-

In fact, if you really calculate it, the fat man probably has the title of "king" on his head, and even the turtle king.

At this moment, the boss of Che and Zhang Liang rushed back from Nanwazi to summon people: the rice fields were about to plant rice, and a large number of people were urgently needed.

Captain Li shouted with a loudspeaker, and the rice transplanting team with more than 200 people was quickly established. Zhang Liang kept joking: Is this combat power too strong?
