Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm so glad I caught a stone frog

"It would be terrible if Taoyuan really became like that! Why is that?" Yang Yong's mother exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ask Wen Yazi! Professor Lin sold Guan Zi at this time.

"Why do trees die? Fresh chicken manure will corrode the compacted soil, and when the amount exceeds the limit that the soil can bear, the soil will gradually become acidified, and the trees will naturally die slowly! After the soil is acidified, it will take several years to recover. In fact, the ancients have long discovered this, and the farm fertilizer used by our ancestors in Liu Jiachong for generations is fermented and rotted before it can be transported to the ground, which is an example. There is no grass on the ground because chickens like to often use their paws to plow the ground, and if there are many chickens, there is indeed not a single grass on the ground. Liu Wen explained on the side.

"Yes, the ancient working people were indeed full of wisdom, and at that time they were talking about harmonious coexistence with nature, unlike many places today that are just blindly demanding and wanton destruction. I don't know how our descendants will resent and curse us people in a few hundred years?" Professor Lin felt a feeling, and after seeing that the current atmosphere was a little heavy, he hurriedly said: "It's far away, it's far away, it's far away, and Liu Jiachong's environment has been maintained very well. Let's go pick peaches! Don't let the car wait too long, it's not good to delay other people's time. Professor Lin walked into Taoyuan.

The peach tree is not high, it is very convenient to pick peaches, each time you pick one, put on a protective film and put it into a bamboo basket, every fifty for a basket.

Liu Wen, his father and Yang Yong were in charge of transportation, and the others were in charge of picking peaches. Liu Wen took a flat pole and tried to pick up two baskets of peaches, which was okay, not very heavy. Looking at his father's dancing easily, Yang Yong actually picked it steadily.

Looking at the improvement of physical fitness by the space spiritual water, the effect is still very obvious, and it was still a little difficult for Liu Wen to pick up more than a hundred catties of things in the past.

All the bamboo baskets were loaded, and everyone picked and lifted together, Professor Lin and Mrs. Lin cooperated to carry a basket, and so did Yang Yong's parents.

Liu Wen didn't expect that the old man would be able to pick up two baskets of peaches and walk steadily and steadily, and the rest of Liu Wen's mother saw that she couldn't help alone, so she simply went back to cook in advance.

After loading the car, Liu Wen sent the driver away, and Boss Luo had already paid the payment in advance. This year, the money from selling peaches totaled more than 26,000, which was about the same as Liu Wen's original estimate.

After eating at noon, everyone did not drink, and continued to pick peaches in the afternoon. In addition to leaving dozens of peaches to eat as fresh peaches, all the rest are used to make peach wine and preserved peaches.

The peaches are brushed clean, dried and put into a clean wine jar, and after being filled layer by layer, a high-concentration grain wine is poured in, and then the wine jar is sealed, and it becomes peach wine after being placed for a month.

Liu Quanyuan's family in the village has been making wine for generations, and the local baogu wine in his family is very high and authentic, and the wine that Liu Wen needs is bought at Liu Quanyuan's house.

A large wine jar can soak 26 peaches in 20 catties of wine, Liu Wen's family soaked ten jars, and Professor Lin and Yang Yong's family also soaked five jars respectively. Fortunately, Liu Wen had already booked, otherwise he would never have been able to buy so much wine at one time. Since there are more tourists in the village, Liu Quanyuan's wine is also selling very well, and tourists can make wine with mulberries that they can't eat, and wild thornberries and bubbles can be used to make wine.

The practice of preserved peaches is also very simple, the peaches are also brushed and cleaned, dig out the peach pit and slice it directly, steam it in the steaming drawer, and then put it on the bamboo plaque to dry. Because Liu Wen's peaches are originally very sweet, there is no need to put any more sugar, and this time each of the three families is ready to dry a peach made of 100 peaches.

At the beginning, Liu Wen proposed to soak peach wine and dry dried peaches together, Yang Yong's father and Professor Lin agreed very much, the peaches in Taoyuan are indeed very delicious, not only adults love to eat, but Xiao Haohao and Xinxin, who came to play on the weekend, are even more fond of it.

Yang Yong's father and Professor Lin offered to give money, but Liu Wen resolutely refused, and his own peaches were given to neighbors and the money was collected, isn't that a joke? The two old men looked at each other and agreed without saying anything. Just a few days later, Professor Lin gave Liu Wen a high-end camera, and Yang Yong sent him a brand-new motorcycle. I bought everything, Liu Wen couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it.

Huan Huan Le has been living in sweet happiness during this time, until the peaches in the peach orchard began to turn red, Yaya and Xiao Haohao every time they go to the peach orchard to pick peaches, they will definitely share some for them to eat, and if they don't divide it, they won't let go if they hold their legs.

On the day of peach picking, I will eat peaches as a meal all day long, and you can also steal preserved peaches after eating fresh peaches. The two little monkeys stole the preserved peaches and Yaya didn't see it, it's fine, if you accidentally see it, it's a little troublesome, these preserved peaches will be Yaya's snacks in the future, Yaya is of course very reluctant, but she can't do anything about Huan Huan Le, Yao Yao and Xiao Haohao will take her and the two little monkeys to make money on the weekend, if Huan Huan Le doesn't cooperate, how can the three of them make money again!

At this time, Yaya had to pout and say that she was unhappy and ignored the two little monkeys, and after eating the preserved peaches, Huan Huanle turned around and took out a piece of paper from nowhere and stuffed it to Yaya, as soon as she took the piece of paper, Yaya immediately became like no one, and Huan Xile was reconciled as before.

Yaya has always wanted to know where the two little monkeys hid the money, so that they could have a pot, but not to mention Yaya, even Liu Wen didn't know where Huan Huan Le hid the money.

Honghonghong is also very happy, occasionally eating two pieces of peach flesh, and collecting all the remaining peach pits and slowly gnawing them. Blessing and fortune, what to eat, and a lot of light during this time. Only Xiangxiang and Dahua's family have little interest in peaches.

After the peach wine and Taopu were done, there was nothing to do for the time being, Liu Wen remembered the last time he went to Taoyuan to pick peaches, and saw that there were a lot of fat and big stone frogs in the ditch.

On this morning, Liu Wen asked Yang Yong to go fishing for stone frogs, and as soon as he heard that he was going to fish for stone frogs, Yang Yong's eyes lit up with excitement.

Liu Wen first found two cloth bags of flour, and a thick iron wire was made into a ring about the size of the mouth of the flour bag. Reserve a part of the two ends as a handle, and then use a thin iron wire through the cloth bag to wrap the iron ring tightly and tie it tightly, and a bag for stone frogs is ready.

Liu Wen went to find two thin bamboo poles more than 3 meters long, tied a fishing line of about the same length as the bamboo pole, and the stone frog pole was also ready. It is best to use a fishing line for stone frogs, twine is the second, and cotton line is the worst.

Because the bait is often lowered from the middle of the grass, the line is very smooth and usually goes smoothly when placed in the grass. The surface of the cotton thread is rough, and it is easy to get caught by the blades of grass, and it is very inconvenient to shake the bait.

Liu Wen led Yang Yong, who was in a hurry, to a black locust tree and found a few slightly larger pig insects (a type of caterpillar), which had rough and tough skin and were not easy for stone frogs to slip off their mouths after biting, and they were not easy to tear off when lifting stone frogs.

You must know that the big feet of the stone frog weigh a pound, and the general caterpillar is not good at all, and it will be torn off when it is mentioned, and the surface of the small fish and shrimp is too slippery. It's okay to fish with a hook, but that would make it much less fun to fish for stone frogs.

Liu Wen tore a pig worm directly from the middle into two sections, tied them to two fishing lines, everything was ready, and now he could go fishing for stone frogs.

"Brother Yong, this stone frog fishing is divided into two types: blind fishing and open fishing. Let's first go to Taoyuan to try blind fishing, blind fishing, as the name suggests, is fishing by hand. When the pig insect is bitten by the stone frog, there is an obvious feeling of heaviness in the lifting rod, and at this time you must first try whether the stone frog is really bitten. Lift the rod lightly and put it down, if the stone frog still bites when you lift it again, you can decisively lift the rod, the stone frog will naturally swing towards your side, and you can pick it up with a bag after you see it. Liu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "After the stone frog falls into the bag, it will definitely want to escape, and it will inevitably jump vigorously. Originally, the bag I made had enough depth to logically say that the stone frog would not be able to jump out, but if you are not at ease, tighten the mouth of the bag and hold it together with the handle, so that it can be foolproof, and the stone frog will naturally calm down after a few jumps. ”

Before coming to Taoyuan, Liu Wen said: "The stone frog has a very keen sense of hearing, and once it is frightened, it will dive into the water, so we should be as light as possible, do not make movement, and approach slowly." ”

The two men walked lightly and cautiously to the ditch, which was lined with dense weeds, more than half a meter high. Liu Wen stayed as far away from the ditch as possible until he could smoothly put the bait into the grass.

Liu Wen gently shook the bamboo pole to control the pig insects to rise and fall on the water surface, and half a minute passed, and there was no movement here. Liu Wen turned to another bush a meter away, and continued to shake the pig worm up and down.

This time there was a quick movement, a greedy stone frog pounced, the first time it failed to bite the pig worm, but the noise was quite large, the grass shook, and the water splashed.

Liu Wen immediately controlled the bamboo pole to reduce the shaking amplitude, and this time the stone frog successfully bit the pig worm. Liu Wen tried it lightly, and found that after the stone frog bit it, he immediately lifted the rod, and a dark black stone frog flew out of the grass and swung towards Liu Wen's side in the air.

After Liu Wen successfully caught it with the bag, the greedy stone frog hung in the bag and bit the pig worm, and the two small front short claws played with the fishing line, trying to break the fishing line to swallow the food in the mouth, but after a few times, he found that it was useless, so he was unwilling to spit out the pig worm and fell to the bottom of the bag.

Finding that she was trapped at the bottom of the bag, the stone baby jumped hard to escape, and after a few times, the exhausted stone frog knew that everything was in vain, so he resigned himself to his fate and lay quietly and motionless.

"I'll take a look!" Yang Yong seemed to be more excited than he had caught a stone frog, snatched the bag from Liu Wen's hand, and looked down at the stone frog at the bottom of the bag. This stone frog is very fat, it seems that there are about four taels, there are many small fish and shrimp in the Taoyuan ditch, and the stone frog is not short of food, and it grows relatively fat.
