454 Withered Lake Victoria
God is very face-saving, after a night of heavy rain, I got up in the morning and rewarded the long-lost sun here.
Lao Liu stretched out his hand and touched it, and the bed was empty. Xiao Miaomiao must have gotten up early and gone crazy with the little animals outside, anyway, now there is a fierce eagle in the house with the old little gray watching her.
It's also a little sad, no wonder I just felt a little cold. Now, because of the carvings, the windows are often wide open.
As soon as I sat up from the bed, I heard the cheerful laughter of the little one faintly outside the window. Lao Liu is very satisfied, at least the little guy didn't run too far today and played in the yard.
It's really gratifying, and if it were normal, it wouldn't have been a long way to go. Walking around the yard now is really very face-saving.
When I walked up to the window and looked down, the little guy was running around the yard on Simba. Not to mention that Simba's movements are really sensitive, sprinting, stopping, and turning, which can be described as all in one go.
Of course, the consequence is that there are a lot of small holes in the yard. The ground, which was still a little hard, was softened by the rain that came one after another.
"Miao Miao, what do you want for breakfast?" asked Lao Liu leaning on the window.
"Miao Miao wants to eat boiled corn. The little one looked up and said.
"Well, then we'll all eat corn this morning. Lao Liu happily decided to come down.
Again, one meal or two meals, it's easy to manage. But when you take care of every meal, the task becomes more difficult.
Otherwise, why did Lao Liu have been asking Xiao Miaomiao for advice all this time, let him think for himself, and really didn't know what to do for the little guy.
Other breakfasts may take some effort, but there really isn't too much corn.
The climate here is good, and Lao Liu will plant some corn every once in a while. So no matter when you want to eat it, you can always have fresh corn.
However, such a rainy season will have some impact on all crops. The pollination of those corns that bloom these days will definitely be poor, and even if there are small trees covering them, the yield will not be too high.
Seeing Lao Liu come out, the little guy was also full of energy and rode Simba to get corn together. But it's similar to a blind bear breaking buds, and she can take at most two with two small hands, so she simply became a setter. Lao Liu broke the corn and handed it to her, and she put it in the frame on Simba's head.
It's also embarrassing for Simba, and I don't dare to move. We put the basket on our heads while we weren't paying attention, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It's okay to just stand, and you have to follow, Alexander.
It's really not good to break less, and for corn, many animals at home like to eat it. Even if it's snoring and Simba, you can eat some with it.
It's also been with Lao Liu's family for a long time, anyway, Simba's diet has also changed. What is born to eat meat, there is no such saying. Carrots are sometimes held and gnawed, followed by a fresh taste.
When I went back, I didn't bully Simba, Lao Liu carried the basket. When I got to the yard, I had a meal of peeling and leaving two layers of leaves on the corn.
This is also his old habit, when boiling corn, he will leave a layer, so that the cooked corn tastes better.
The corn is very easy to cook, and it will cook in fifteen minutes after boiling. Xiao Miaomiao also took the small animals to the side, and they were very persistent about eating.
"If you don't know, you can keep what delicious food is there for you. Wang Shasha walked out and said helplessly.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten corn, but I used to like it. It's just that when I came here, I started to eat some cornmeal and then I got a little top. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Make some corn tortillas at night, it's not the corn paste kind, it's that, the cake. Oh, what's the name of the one in your northeast, the one on the pot?" Wang Shasha said and was a little anxious.
"Haha, our Northeast dialect is called bud rice gluttony. I make it at night, paste cakes and boil fish. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Yes, that's it. Last time I went to your provincial capital, I ate with me, and there were a lot of small fish in it. But there are no small fish like that, are they? Wang Shasha said.
"Big fish is fine, the key is to stew the flavor of that sauce. Don't worry about it, I'll go around outside today, and then I'll let you fish in the river. Lao Liu said casually.
"Dad, Miao Miao also wants to touch the fish, I have touched the big whale. The little guy on the side came to his throat.
"Miao Miao is much more powerful than Dad, let's go fishing together today. Lao Liu tapped on her little nose.
If you don't order, you can't do it, your head is proud, if you don't order, the child won't be tired.
"Wait a minute, I'll find two more corns, and burn them to eat." Wang Shasha dropped a sentence and ran over the cornfield.
The little guy took a look, forget it, he still doesn't mess with Sister Sasha. The corn in the pot is almost ready, and you can gnaw it in a while.
Don't look at today's breakfast only boiled corn, but whether it is a person or an animal, an adult or a child, it is called a fragrant bite. In the end, Xiao Miaomiao also rubbed half of the roasted corn, and her little hands, small mouth, and small cheeks were all gnawed black.
Kipcorey didn't know what to say when he came over, and he always felt that his own boss was too willful.
Today's task is to inspect the nearby river and see how the water is now. Then go around the five tribes, and if the situation is not good, you have to put it in advance.
The current situation is that the ditches are really full of trenches, but all the pits that can hold water are now full. The frogs were happy, croaking and croaking.
"Boss, don't think about it, it will be water in two or three days. Kipkori said.
Lao Liu, who was sitting in the co-pilot holding Xiao Miaomiao, nodded, "It's really not easy to do." The terrain on our side is okay, but I'm afraid that the water upstream will be too big and rush over. ”
"Boss, there is no way to do this, as long as the person is okay. Kipkori said.
It's also their usual attitude, and he is not too worried about this matter. Anyway, I'm used to it, people are alive, they have food, they can sing and dance, it's good.
Lao Liu can't talk to him in detail, but this matter still has to be done. When the time comes, just let Masika go around here, and a chief of his own size can't be there in person.
The next activity is better, go to the river to fish. Don't look at the water forks or something, there are really a lot of fish here.
Xiao Miao Miao is still too simple, that is, "touch". It wasn't until Lao Liu threw several fish on the shore that she knew that this fishing was a little different from the previous fishing.
"Kipkore, can you eat these fish?" asked Lao Liu after touching it for a while.
Kipkori smiled and nodded, "You can eat it all." ”
"When you have the chance, go to Lake Victoria to fish, there are a lot of fish there. Lao Liu said after coming out.
"Boss, there are very few fish species in Lake Victoria. Even if you go, you can only catch Nile perch and Nile tilapia. Kipkori said
"Actually, there used to be a lot of delicious fish, but they didn't eat them. They are very ferocious, especially the Nile perch, which eats even their own kind. ”
"Uh...... I remember that there were a lot of cichlid fish in the past?" asked Liu Wenrui with some surprise.
"That was a long time ago, and now the lake has the most Nile perch. Just like the big pieces of fish that are sold in many markets, it is Nile perch. It seems that the largest catch is more than 400 catties, that is, they have eaten a lot of cichlid fish. Kipkori said.
Lao Liu clicked his mouth, no wonder, he thought that those big fish were all fish in the sea.
Although I haven't learned in detail, I can now know from Kipcore's description that this Nile perch is really very ferocious. At this level, it should be much more ferocious than the Asian carp.
Even if they eat their own people, what can't they eat? It can be said that the current Lake Victoria has been scrapped.
The fish that can grow to 400 catties, although it is very special, also represents the growth standard of this Nile perch. Even if you are usually malnourished, it is estimated that it is very easy to grow more than 100 pounds.
Such big guys, where are those cichlid fish their opponents?
I don't know who whipped his head and threw such a fish at the top of the food chain into Lake Victoria. I guess I just think that there are too many fish species there, and some need to be eliminated.
When will you take Wang Shasha and Xiao Miaomiao to Victoria Lake to take a look, and now I'm still watching a fart. Nice lake, completely ruined.
In fact, I have also eaten this fish, and the meat is really not delicious. The people of Kenya like it very much, and they often fry large pieces of fish and eat them.
The fish fished out were enough to eat, and Lao Liu called Xiao Miaomiao up, and he had to continue patrolling.
"Boss, look at those branches, is it already starting to send water upstream?"
After walking for a while, Kipkori asked, pointing to the river.
Lao Liu nodded, "I guess it's almost gone, look further away, there are still trees, I hope there is nothing wrong with people." Miao Miao, let's go home and boil small fish to eat. ”
Lao Liu grabbed the little guy and let her look at him.
His eyes were better, and he saw a few sheep floating in the river in the distance. I don't want the little guy to see this scene, the little guy will be sad.
"Kipkori, let's go straight home. Then ask Masika to come over and do some decoration here, and all the idle people in the house will bring it. Liu Wenrui said to Kipkori again.
Kipkori didn't talk nonsense either, and went back with a dozen rounds.
There is no need to continue the inspection, and the upstream can no longer bear it, and the water is gone. If it rains upstream, the river here won't be able to withstand that much water.
