Chapter 10: Whatever
Su He didn't know much about plants, and she only knew three kinds of wildflowers in the yard, one was commonly known as the dog's tail flower, which was one of the most commonly used wildflowers in Houcheng, and most of the locals knew its name. One is dandelion, which is taught in primary school textbooks. There is also the duck plant, which has small blue flowers and has become so popular with some lovers of freshness that it has been photographed everywhere on the Internet. After watching more, Su He, an Internet addict, was naturally popularized by science.
It was a worker's uncle, who worked as a farmer at home, and knew a lot about wild plants, so he casually called out a string of names: cabbage, mint, wild fennel, evening primrose, gray cabbage, and Suzi...... and what can be eaten, which is poisonous, and what can be used for what......
As he spoke, the worker's uncle pulled off a mint leaf, patted the ashes with his hand and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and when he saw Su He looking at him, he smiled and said, "We rural people don't pay attention to it, and we don't spray pesticides anyway." He added, "This thing is best soaking in water and drinking in summer." Make two slices of fish to remove the fish. Chewing a piece like this is much stronger than any chewing gum, defeating the fire, clearing the throat, and curing toothache. ”
As a dead house, Su He is not a particular person, and he also learns from the uncle, pulling a leaf, patting it, throwing it in his mouth, chewing it slightly, the rich mint flavor overflows the entire mouth, initially spicy, a little pungent, but then the coolness of the spread dilutes the spicy taste, and feels the unique fragrance of mint.
"Hey, this leaf is just a layer of floating ash, and the soil is still healing the plague. Su He's actions obviously made the uncle feel quite close, and he grinned, "How is it, okay?"
Su He nodded with crooked eyes.
Seeing this, another uncle and assistant Xiao Wang also curiously pulled off a piece and chewed it. However, the feelings after chewing are different.
Assistant Xiao Wang thinks it's not bad, it's refreshing.
Another uncle chattered for a long time and said, "What a smell of toothpaste." ”
Obviously, it's not a habit of eating much.
The weather was too hot, the sun was shining, Su He and Xiao Wang's assistant were sweating sticky when they didn't move on the side, and the two uncles were doing physical work, and they were sweating like rain.
Su He asked the uncle for advice and made mint tea for everyone to drink.
Although the mint in the backyard is wild, it grows very fat, the leaves grow big, and the color of black oil can be soaked in a big pot with seven or eight slices. According to the uncle, mint leaves soaked in water, drinking alone is very cool and relieves the heat, if you pay attention to it, you can also add rock sugar, sweet and cool, very delicious.
So the uprooting policy has become flowering and useful to stay, and not flowering, useless to unplug.
Because of the wild flowers and wild vegetables left, Su He simply asked the master worker to dig a pond again.
Wild plants and ponds are associated in Sue and here in this way:
She was reading a book a few days ago, and she happened to turn to "Beishan Shifting Text", and her memory was fresh. At this time, because of the weeds, I thought of Mr. Kong's deeds of "In the courtyard, the grass is not cut, and there are frogs chirping".
Leaving some weeds behind means that it is possible to provide a suitable environment for mosquitoes to grow.
Grass, mosquitoes, frogs, ponds, the logical chain was so weirdly linked, and Su He came up with the idea of digging a pond to raise frogs to eat mosquitoes on a whim.
As for the fact that ponds are more ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes than grass, they are subconsciously ignored by someone who is too idle to have eggs.
The pond doesn't need to be too big, Su He casually gestured, it would be better to be bigger than the big bathtub.
The size was set, and the worker uncle was very serious, and asked, what shape do you want? square, round, or irregular?
Su He is very irresponsible, just dig it.
Xiao Wang's assistant black line.
The two uncles happily raised their shovels.
The pond dug out at the end looks like a gourd that grows very "casually".
Su He smiled and praised, it's good, it's good, it's natural at a glance.
Then she came up with a new idea, with wild grasses, wild flowers and ponds, and simply built an outdoor antiseptic wood floor next to the exit of the sliding door of the living room. In the future, you can set up a set of tables and chairs on the floor, blow the wind when you have nothing to do, drink tea, listen to the croaking of frogs, and bask in the sun.
Speaking of basking in the sun, Su He added another item to the construction project, installing a row of drying racks against the backyard wall.
I don't have much to do, and I finish it all in three days.
At the end of the project, Su He calculated how much money he hadn't spent on the project, and he was in a pretty good mood, so he specially asked Xiao Wang's assistant to go to the restaurant and have a meal.
Assistant Xiao Wang did not shirk and ordered the dishes seriously.
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively and lively, and most of the topics were contracted by Assistant Xiao Wang, who told Su He a large number of campus legends, and the originally eerie and terrifying jokes were told by him like a collection of jokes, and Su He was responsible for eating, listening and laughing.
Speaking of which, Wang Jie, a college graduate, was also completely out of shape, and complained about his appearance to Su He, a primary school graduate, "Just because of this face, it's hard to find a girlfriend, and they all say that being with me is not only insecure, but also easy to have a sense of vicissitudes." Come with me and make them all look old, not like my girlfriend, but like my aunt!"
As a reborn version of Grandma Tong, Su He also understood the distress of Xiao Wang's assistant very well in addition to great happiness, and patted his forearm wordlessly - he wanted to pat his shoulder, but the length and altitude of his arm were insufficient.
After the meal, the two exchanged contact information as if they were taking it seriously.
Xiao Wang's assistant is a mobile phone issued by the company.
Su He chose the second-hand mobile phone that Mr. Su eliminated. Although almost no one calls her, as a reborn person who has long been accustomed to mobile phones, or lives dependent on mobile phones, she feels much more at ease when she has a mobile phone by her side.
On the third day after the renovation, Su He, who had slept until he woke up naturally, habitually reached out and pressed the button of the tape recorder next to the bed with his eyes half-closed, only to realize that the power had gone out. Fortunately, the renovation was completed, otherwise the progress of the project would have been delayed.
After breakfast, Su He went out with a backpack on his back, and met Cheng Wei downstairs again.
Cheng Wei looked a little wilted, and nodded towards Suhe.
"Why didn't you go to the game hall?" asked Suhe, who was already familiar with his daily schedule, a little strangely.
"There's a power outage over there, too. ”
No wonder he is so unmotivated, Cheng is really a bit like the rabbit without electricity in the Duracell advertisement at this time.
"Do you want to play with me?" Sue casually suggested.
"What are you playing?" Cheng Wei is indispensable, and he is indeed a little bored.
"Eviction. Su He said "highly generalized".
The so-called "forced eviction" is, of course, a joke.
In fact, Su He wanted to catch a few frogs and put them in the pond in the backyard to raise.
In a sense, it's true that the frogs are forcibly relocated.
If you want to catch frogs in the city, the first place to catch them is naturally the park.
Su He's home is near Zhongshan Park, a 10-minute walk.
At this time, you still have to buy tickets for the park, and the ticket price is not expensive.
Originally, Su He wanted to pack the tickets of the two, after all, she was going to catch the frog, but Cheng Wei resolutely refused, so she had to adopt the AA system.
N years did not come, Su He had forgotten all the scenic spots, and the first step in entering the park was to look at the floor plan, and then go straight to the artificial lake.
It coincides with the summer vacation, which is the time when the park is full of people, and the lake is also a popular attraction.
Su He chose a place with few people, took out a few old newspapers and plastic sheets from his backpack and spread them on the ground and set up camp. Then remove the backpack and put it on the plastic sheeting, and start digging for things.
First of all, the toilet water.
There are many mosquitoes at the water's edge, and she doesn't plan to donate blood to mosquitoes to promote their survival and reproduction, so she naturally has to take some protective measures.
"Rub a little, save yourself from being bitten. Su He handed the flower dew water bottle to Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei didn't answer, with a look of disgust, "A scent, sissy." ”
Tsk, listen to this man's chauvin.
Su He shook his head, put away the flower water, and casually changed the bottle of wind oil essence to him.
Cheng Wei looked at her, then at her big backpack, and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"
"And cooling oil, mint balm, which one do you want?"
“...... Wind oil essence on the line. ”
Then there is a sturdy, thick transparent plastic bag with air holes already attached.
This is to make a safe transfer for the frogs.
Then there are the gloves.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Wei looked at the milky white medical gloves handed over by Su He and asked a little suspiciously.
At this time, the material circulation was not as diverse and rich as later, and medical gloves were not commonly used in life, and the first reaction to seeing it every day was to associate it with surgery and doctors, no wonder Cheng Wei asked this question.
Su He deliberately went to the medical supply store to buy it and used it for housework. Generally, plastic gloves are prepared for adults, even the smallest ones, and they are also used by rejuvenating people. However, medical gloves are elastic and close to the skin, so they are very easy to use.
The disadvantage is that it is a bit thin and easy to break, so Su He deliberately brought two pairs, just one pair of Cheng Wei.
"Wear gloves and do you want to touch the frog's slippery, mucus skin? Oh, by the way, if you don't catch the frog, the toad is also a toad, and their skin is sharper." Sue shook the gloves in his hands.
Cheng Wei glared at her and snatched the gloves.
He bet this girl must have deliberately described the skin of frogs and toads as so disgusting, but if you go to stare at her, she can still return with an innocent face without any heart, just like he wanted to stare at her every time he met her before, and he always felt a breath choked in his chest, unable to get up or down.
Su He did it on purpose, there was no way, she had too much time and too much leisure, Xiao Cheng was good-looking, and her reaction was interesting, which made people always want to tease him.
Moreover, Su He was also a little surprised that Cheng Wei would really come with her to catch frogs, after all, this guy is suspected of being a little clean, and today he is dressed in white, and catching frogs in shallow water and grass is not a clean job.
As soon as Su He put on his gloves, a small green frog jumped out of the grass at his feet, and plunged into the shallow water by the lake in a few leaps. Su He stretched his hands twice, substituted for the perverted killer in the American drama, hooked the corners of his mouth evilly, and laughed twice - wearing medical gloves is a feeling.
"What's the matter, do you feel like I'm smiling very coldly, deeply, and upscale?" asked Cheng Wei, who looked at her, very well.
Cheng Wei expressed his opinion wordlessly with his eyes - neuropathy!
