Li Mengyue has found a place to raise ducks.

She went to Carpenter Yang's house again, wanting him to help build a duck pen on the hill.

[Host, there is no need to be so troublesome. As long as they are ducklings from the Infinite Breeding Base, you can tell them where to move around, and they will not run around.]

After hearing what the system said, Li Mengyue immediately gave up the idea of ​​building a duck pen, but she still had to go to Carpenter Yang's house.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Is Uncle Yang home?"

The person inside heard the knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Uncle Yang, I'm Li Mengyue, and I want to ask you to make something."

"Squeak!"

A middle-aged man with a cane opened the door and said cheerfully, "Oh! Li's girl, come in!"

Carpenter Yang opened both doors and took Li Mengyue to the center of the yard and sat down.

In this way, people passing by can see the people in the yard clearly without affecting Li Mengyue's reputation.

Although Li Mengyue's reputation had long been ruined due to Yun Ran's intervention, Carpenter Yang still took good care of her.

Li Mengyue also noticed this problem and had a preliminary understanding of Carpenter Yang's character.

"Yue girl, thanks to you, the children have gone to the fields to catch locusts. It's just me and your aunt at home. You can just tell me what you want to do."

Li Mengyue didn't ask her aunt why she didn't come out, nor did she say what she was doing. Instead, she asked Carpenter Yang: "Uncle Yang, do you have paper and pen at home?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you right now."

After a while, Li Mengyue started drawing with the paper and pen brought by Carpenter Yang.

She drew very quickly, and before Carpenter Yang could figure out what was going on, she had already finished the drawing.

"Girl Yue, I'm not mistaken. What you drew is a kind of capture net."

"That's right! Uncle Yang, see if you can do it."

"It doesn't use much wood, and it doesn't look complicated, but it's very cleverly designed. It looks like the net will open immediately if you press a button."

After saying that, Carpenter Yang started to work. Seeing that Carpenter Yang was skilled in his work, it wouldn't take Li Mengyue long to finish it.

After hearing what Carpenter Yang said, Li Mengyue's eyes were filled with smiles. She didn't expect that Carpenter Yang's skills were so high that he could see what she was going to make at a glance.

That's right, she wanted to make a net to catch locusts. It was not an ordinary one, but one with a little design. You don't need to bend down to catch locusts with this net, and it's very fast.

The reason she had this idea was that she saw the village chief catching locusts in the fields, but he could not catch them even if he tried very hard.

After all, the elderly are not as physically fit as the young, but there are many elderly people in the village. As long as they have this kind of catching net, the elderly can also go to the fields to catch locusts.

If you are not in good health and cannot stand for a long time, it’s okay, just bring a small stool.

Sitting there, if there are locusts passing by, just catch them. After catching the locusts in this area, move to another place. In this way, you can catch a lot in a day, which is much better than sitting idle at home.

In this way, every household can catch a lot of locusts. In addition to feeding ducks, they can also be dried and stored as food for ducks.

Just in case, just in case, you are starving, you can eat dried locusts. The rich protein can provide nutrition to the body!

A quarter of an hour later, Carpenter Yang handed the capture net he made by hand to Li Mengyue.

"Uncle Yang, how much is it?"

"Girl Yue, you are insulting the uncle. If you were not willing to suffer from the locusts, there would be no opportunity to make money in our village. My son and daughter-in-law also go to the fields. They can make a lot of money in a day."

"And uncle also wants to ask, can I make an extra capture net like the one you asked me to make for my family?"

"But don't worry, I will never sell it for money. I will only use it for my family."

Li Mengyue originally made the capture net to make it easier for villagers to catch locusts.

Uncle Yang suggested making a few more for his family, and she had no reason to disagree, so she said, "Uncle Yang, besides making them for your family, you can also make a few more and sell them to the villagers. It doesn't have to be expensive, just a symbolic labor fee will be fine."

In fact, Uncle Yang had this idea before Li Mengyue mentioned it, but the capture net was designed by Li Mengyue, and he couldn't use other people's ideas at will.

Besides, Yue girl agreed to make it for her family, which was very kind of her. He couldn't be ignorant of the limits, so he didn't mention it.

"Yue girl, are you willing to let your uncle make it and sell it for money?" Uncle Yang asked excitedly.

Li Mengyue didn't understand why Uncle Yang was so excited, but she still patiently answered: "Of course."

"Okay, I'll be shameless this time and use your idea. I'll prepare a trap net and sell it for two cents, and I'll give one cent to you as a share, okay?"

Li Mengyue didn't expect that Uncle Yang had such a good character and could remain unmoved by the temptation of money.

In fact, if she hadn't seen the situation of Uncle Yang's house, she wouldn't have admired him so much. His house was really too dilapidated, and the walls were covered with mottled rain marks, and it could be seen that the roof was leaking. However, there were a few unknown small flowers winding up along the broken door lintel and window frames, swaying in the wind.

"Uncle Yang, you don't have to give me any share. Selling it for two cents a pound is very conscientious. Just help me make five more."

"Okay, Yue girl, go do what you need to do first. When it's done, I'll have my grandson deliver it to you."

Li Mengyue did have something to do and couldn't stay here waiting for Uncle Yang to finish the capture net.

So I made an agreement with Uncle Yang and left with the catching net.

After leaving Carpenter Yang's house, Li Mengyue did not go home directly, but asked the villagers about Grandma Wang's house.

After walking for half an incense stick of time, they arrived at a thatched hut. This was the house where Grandma Wang and her two generations of family lived.

Grandma Wang was in poor health to begin with, and she was pushed down while selling locusts in the morning. She was not feeling well, so she did not go to the fields to catch locusts.

So when Li Mengyue came, Grandma Wang was sifting something at home.

When Li Mengyue approached, she saw Grandma Wang was dealing with a pile of tree bark and looking at the fine bark powder that was sifted out from the basin next to her.

When Li Mengyue saw this, she realized that Grandma Wang and her two grandchildren had run out of food and had started eating tree bark mixed with wild vegetables.

So Li Mengyue exchanged the one tael of silver and ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains in her hand for fifty kilograms of miscellaneous grains and one tael of silver.

Grandma Wang was concentrating on sifting tree bark when suddenly a person stood in front of her. She looked up and saw it was Mengyue, a girl from the Li family.

Grandma Wang stood up quickly in excitement, but her legs were numb from squatting for so long and she almost fell down. It was Li Mengyue who supported her in time.

"It's Miss Yue. Wait a moment. I'll get you a stool and pour you some water."

"No need, Grandma Wang, I can't stay here for long, I still have things to do."

"Yes, yes, yes. Grandma Wang is getting old and confused. You are really busy now. So when you come to Grandma Wang's house, you must at least drink a glass of water."

As she said that, Grandma Wang went to pour water. Li Mengyue couldn't bear to refuse Grandma Wang's enthusiasm.

Prepare to put the food in the kitchen for Grandma Wang first.
