A group of termites lined up for a quick march, and Nate, who came with him, saw it and said, "These ants are strange. ”

Yang Shubao, who was protecting the ant nest umbrella with a tree branch, said: "That's not an ant, it's a termite." ”

"White ants?"

Yang Shubao shook his head and said: "They do look like white ants, but no, termites and cockroaches are closer than ants." ”

"What is a cockroach?" asked Nate again, everything they knew about Earth needed to be learned.

Yang Shubao couldn't explain, so he had to say: "Anyway, they are not the same thing, that is, they just look alike, and others such as ethnic classification status, specific external form, living habits, mating habits, etc., are completely different." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Yang showed a smile on his face: "Especially the mating habits are very different, let me tell you, this is fun." Adult termites only breed in pairs after they fly to the ground and shed their wings. Whereas, ants mate in flight and like to fly shock. ”

Nate was confused: "What's the fun about this?"

Yang Shubao gestured: "Feizhen." ”

He didn't continue to introduce Nate because he wasn't interested, but in fact, there was another difference in the mating habits of the two, once the ants completed the flying shock, the male ants were useless and could die.

The queen and male of termites live together for a long time, often mate, and produce a large number of offspring, so now this termite nest is not big, and after a while, it will be like a chimney.

If these termites don't follow the usual path in the process of nesting, the nest will become like a lying grave.

Termites feed on plant fibers, and Yang plans to let them look at them for a long time, and if they don't work later, they may have to be cut off, otherwise they will destroy the grove.

Armed with two large mushrooms, he went to prepare lunch.

The book says that the Heim ant nest umbrella is a very good food, full of umami, Africans like to roast and eat, this is a tyrannical thing, the real method of this thing is in the hands of the people of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, making chicken fir oil or steaming with ham to eat.

Yang Shubao doesn't have ham here, but he dried the bacon in the cool shade behind the house, which can also replace the role of ham to a certain extent.

Outside the window, the light rain was drizzling, and he hung the salted meat back into the house, so in the drizzle and hazy dampness, Lao Yang put the salted meat on the board and picked up the kitchen knife and cut the thin slices.

The light rain knocks on the roof, and the cutting board is snapped, and the sound is a little noisy, but it has a different style.

In these voices, Yang Shubao heard a soft clicking sound again, like high heels hitting the floor, he looked out from the kitchen probe, and saw the flat-headed brother sticking his head out and peeking in at the door.

A few honey eagles sheltered from the rain on the windowsill, and they also probed their brains to see, as if they were guarding Lao Tie.

The honey badger hunts at night and sleeps during the day, and today it came out of the garden cave probably to hear the familiar sound of kitchen knives chopping boards, and it may have been haunted by the fact that it failed to eat rabbit meat last time.

Yang Shubao threw a piece of frozen meat to Brother Pingtou, and he cut it into long strips, like a snake.

The flat-headed brother was overjoyed, pounced on it and picked it up with his paws to play with it, and then swallowed it with his mouth.

Lao Yang shook his head again and again, it was really a lot of drama.

He spread a little lard on the plate and spread the sliced bacon, then put in the torn Heim's nest umbrella, and put a layer of salted meat slices on top, and sprinkled with chopped green onions, and then put it in the pot and steamed.

This has to be steamed slowly, Yang Shubao has nothing to do, he saw that the light rain was not big, so he simply didn't use an umbrella, and went to the vegetable garden shirtless to see if there were any suitable vegetables to eat.

Brother Pingtou was very vigilant, and as soon as Yang Shubao took a step here, he immediately turned around and ran.

The goods would not go downstairs, so they simply jumped down the stairs.

From this point of view, Brother Pingtou is still very reckless.

There was a rain every two days, which saved the trouble of watering, and the vegetables grew well, but many weeds grew in the ground, and the cucumber vines twisted in the weeds like snakes, and the old poplar had to pull the blades of grass to find the cucumbers.

A cucumber cub the thickness of his little finger.

When he saw the cucumber cubs, he remembered the hippopotamus cubs, so he quickly ran back and washed a bucket of milk and sent it over.

On rainy days, the air is humid, and instead of staying in the river, the hippopotamus cubs follow the lioness.

The lion does not like to go out in the rain, Shabi goes out for a walk for a while and then returns to the shade of the tree to avoid the rain, but the hippopotamus likes to walk, the hippopotamus immediately goes back to gnaw its paws with its mouth and claws to gnaw its ears, Shabi has no rut, and has to walk into the rain again after shaking his head.

The hippopotamus cub is very active in running before and after, it runs blindly, sometimes it is kicked by Sabi, sometimes it crashes into a tree, and sometimes it is frightened by a leopard tortoise that suddenly emerges from the grass.

Whether it was kicked or frightened, its reaction was to fall down and grunt and get back up again.

Lao Yang thinks it's selling cuteness, hippopotamus cubs can be half the size of a dirt pig, this thing can fall down when kicked by a lion?

The hippopotamus cub recognized him, and when he saw him appear, he immediately ran with his canned and short legs, and he jumped and jumped strangely cheerfully.

Yang Shubao turned the bottle upside down, and the little cub didn't need him to teach, this time he skillfully grabbed the rubber pacifier and sucked it: "Bia chicken, Bia chicken, Bia chicken." ”

John who followed him laughed and said, "City Lord, it eats like you. ”

"We're different. ”

"Yes, your sense of rhythm is better than it, and its sound is louder than yours. ”

After a while, after drinking a large bottle of milk, the hippopotamus cub ran after Shabi and walked around like a pony.

This association made Lao Yang's eyes light up, and the hippo cub has a god-given name: Ma Zai!

Seeing that Shabi not only did not attack Ma Zai but was willing to play with it, Yang Shubao felt a lot more relaxed.

This is the phenomenon of maternal compensation in nature, the cub of the female lioness mixes with the dog pen every day, and its motherhood has nowhere to vent, so sometimes it will be angry to teach it a lesson when it sees the cub appear. Now that the appearance of Ma Tsai has filled the void of motherhood, Sabi has accepted it and brought it as his own child.

Otherwise, when it was lying in the shade of a tree to avoid the rain just now, Ma Boy dared to bite its ear and would have been divided by it in two bites.

The salted meat steamed mushrooms were almost on fire, and Yang Shubao walked back to turn off the fire.

As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, a slightly salty delicious taste rushes out, the salted meat is steamed white and red, and the green onion sprinkled on top is translucent, just looking at it makes people have an appetite.

This dish goes best with rice, and he brought some rice back from the supermarket last night and just cooked a pot of rice.

The snow-white rice grains were plump, and Yang Shubao waited until it cooled down and covered the rice with a few slices of meat and some mushrooms with chopsticks, and then squatted at the door with a bowl to eat while watching the rain.

The couple parrots flew over with chirp, Lao Yang grabbed some rice grains and threw them on the ground, and the two parrots jumped on the ground and pecked, and the happy cry became louder.

Now he is not lonely.

The steamed mushrooms are wrinkled and don't look good, but they absorb the fat oozing out of the salted meat slices and stain the fragrance, and the mushrooms themselves have an excellent umami taste, so the flavors are fused with each other and paired with a mouthful of rice, Yang Shubao eats it wolf.

In the afternoon, the sea breeze blew away the clouds, leaving a few clouds hanging in the air, with the blue sky above and the green grass below, and the wonderful layering became a visual feast.

Yang Shubao liked it very much.

He's also happy.

The pockets finally bulged, and by mistake, a charitable organization sponsored his reserve, and by the way, he helped him wash all the black money he had hidden, and next time he found an opportunity to wash the gold, he would really become a rich man.
