What no one expected was that the village chief was so fast that he could catch it in one go without even bending down.
Seeing that the village chief was having a lot of fun catching fish alone, some villagers who were more alert stopped and went to ask the village chief for advice.
I learned from the village chief that what he used was called a capture net. There was a small mechanism on the handle. When he saw the locusts, he just had to aim gently at the target and press the button, and he could catch them immediately without much effort.
Another point is that when they try to catch locusts, if they fail to catch them immediately and disturb the locusts, they have to look for the target again, which makes their process very slow.
But the catching net used by the village chief is different. It does not make a loud noise when catching locusts, and the noise can be completely ignored. This not only allows the locusts to be caught quickly, but also does not scare nearby targets.
Such a useful catching net, I must get one as soon as possible.
Then we learned from the village chief that the capture net was designed by Mengyue, and everyone had a new understanding of Mengyue's abilities.
The villagers all felt that the young lady was different and knew a lot, as expected of someone who had lived in a wealthy family since childhood.
As a result, no matter what abilities Meng Yue displayed or what incredible things she did, the villagers of Xinghua Village did not make a fuss, but instead thought it was perfectly normal.
After all, Mengyue is different from them. They are all peasants, while the girl from the Meng family has truly been a rich lady and knows a lot more.
Seeing that everyone was praising Yue girl, the village chief then said that it was made by Carpenter Yang.
When they heard that it was Carpenter Yang who did it, everyone went to Carpenter Yang's house without any prior arrangement.
As they were walking, one of them started to run. After he started running, the others followed suit and all ran towards the carpenter Yang's house.
Fortunately, after Yang the Carpenter left Mengyue, he started making the fishing net. He was slow at first, but after making about ten, his speed increased.
It's simple at first glance, but the design is so ingenious.
When the villagers came to Carpenter Yang's house, he had already made fifty fishing nets.
When Carpenter Yang saw so many people coming to his house, he was shocked.
His son, daughter-in-law and grandson are not home. He has a lame leg and needs a cane to walk. His wife is sick and is lying in the house.
If someone came to his house to cause trouble, he would definitely not be a match for them.
It was not until someone picked up the catching net on the ground and asked how much it cost that he realized that the villagers had come to his house to buy catching nets.
"Two cents each."
As soon as Carpenter Yang finished naming the price, the man holding the net spoke up: "Give me five, and I'll send you the money in two days."
First one person asked to buy, and then others followed, some buying in batches of five, six, or seven. Some families even had so many people that they ordered sixteen at once.
Before Carpenter Yang could come to his senses, the fifty fishing nets he had just made had already been bought by the villagers.
He guessed that the trap net was for sale, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
So he wrote down the number of people who bought the fishing nets, and asked his neighbors to help him call his son back from the fields.
Locusts are one cent per pound, and a catching net is two cents. In just a short while, I sold a full one hundred cents.
Thinking about how much money he had earned in a short time, Yang the Carpenter was so excited that he even wanted to grow two more hands.
I have to make a trap quickly, so I can take the opportunity to sell more and have enough money to buy medicine for my wife.
When Mengyue arrived at Carpenter Yang's house, the fishing net he had made had been bought by someone else.
"Uncle Yang."
