113. Torture the heart
The tomato frog squatted on the stone and looked at Yang Shubao, and Yang Shubao also looked at it, and then it slowly swelled.
Like toads, they are able to swell up in a short period of time, which is their main trick against enemies.
Seeing this, Lao Yang pouted: "You can still swell up than my coffee-loving noble brother Bo, just look at you, virtue!"
He was careful at this loss, and he did not expect to encounter the tomato frog in Great St. Lucia, because the frog's native territory was only confined to the northern part of the island of Madagascar, and it was reasonable to say that South Africa could not touch it.
He said this question, and the old knight looked indifferent: "Maybe someone bought it as a pet, and later found that it couldn't be raised and released into the wild." ”
Yang Shubao rejoiced: "Then the fortunate thing they released is not the golden man frog or the multi-colored man frog or the like, otherwise I would not be in pain today, but would have been in shock or even died." ”
All frogs are poisonous frogs, just like all sea snakes are poisonous snakes, the toxins in the body of the frogs are not as gentle as the tomato frogs, and they are lethal to both animals and humans.
However, like sea snakes, man frogs are shy and timid, and they will not take the initiative to attack large animals such as humans and beasts, so some people in Europe and the United States will keep them as pets.
Therefore, there is a reason why there are fewer people in Europe and the United States, and it is rare to be more effective than them.
As a result, the old man laughed after listening to his exclamation: "Is the golden man frog you said a particularly cute little frog, which is golden when it is an adult and green when it is young?"
Yang Shubao nodded and said, "Yes, have you seen it?"
Like the tomato frog, the golden frog is found only in Madagascar, and its habitat range is much smaller than that of the tomato frog, which is only a forest, so it is relatively rare.
The old man smiled happily: "I have seen it on TV and in newspapers, and it was also found in the wetland park, and it was reported that it was called a chameleon golden frog, and it was also said that they were smuggled into South Africa and then released into the wild without knowing why." ”
Yang Shubao exclaimed: "Mom, this is too wild!"
Originally, he thought that there was a tomato frog here, but as they lifted the stone, a small fat frog with a bright red body appeared one after another, and finally more than a dozen tomato frogs jumped around a large stone and hid.
To be honest, Yang Shubao wanted to pick them up, but it was not easy to pick them up, John was not here and the mucus toxins secreted by their bodies were dangerous, so he could only give up.
They walked long along the banks of the river, and then collected hundreds of Odova, large and small.
Yang Shubao felt that the stones were enough, so he packed them up and put them in the car body to leave.
When he turned around, he found that the old man had picked up the green snail he had picked up before he cleaned up, and when he saw this, he asked, "Why are you going to refine poison yourself?"
The old man said, "I'm going to raise a few chickens, and these green snails can be fed to them." ”
Yang Shubao said: "But the green snail is poisonous." ”
The old man said: "Yes, but their toxins are harmless to people and animals, harmful to some parasites, this is a biological toxin that they evolved to prevent being parasitized, it is amazing." ”
Yang Shubao faintly felt that something was wrong: "But you just told me that you would die if you ate it." ”
The old man said, "Yes, it is parasites that will die if they eat their flesh, and I didn't say that people will die if they eat it." ”
There are many routines in South Africa, and I want to go back to China.
As soon as he heard that this green snail was not only harmless to the human body but also had no parasite pollution, Lao Yang pulled up his trouser leg and went down to fish it up desperately.
It took a long time to fish for Odova and the snails, and it was only early afternoon when they came out, and it was almost evening when they were ready to go back.
A burning cloud hangs in the western sky, full of red clouds, like a brocade drawn in the Jiangnan compound of a small bridge and flowing water, a group of returning birds slowly swept down with the evening breeze and sank into the grass and woods, the sun has not yet set, the moon has quietly jumped out.
The shore is far away and the sand is flat, and the sunset is bright on the oblique return road.
They packed up their things and left, and in South Africa in November, the daylight hours were long, and there was still a long time between the sun setting in the west and nightfall.
After sending the old man back to the flower shop, Yang Shubao slowed down, took off his windproof glasses, and drove slowly on the town road.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him as the previous evening.
Ordinary days are joyless and carefree, but daily life is not boring.
Looking at the endless highway, he slowly imagined that if he lived in such a simple small place in the next ten or even decades, would he regret it when Shaoguang passed away and he reached middle age?
He didn't give an answer, and now he's happy anyway.
Especially when I go back at night, there is a spicy fried snail to drink!
This is great!
The car jolted through the grassland, startling the guinea fowl to emerge from the grass.
Yang Shubao drove directly to the river, and then scattered the Odowa stones.
When Ma Tsai saw that he thought he had milk to drink, he ran out of the water and rushed to him and circled the car, holding his head high and pouting 'hum and chirp'.
This scene has the taste of hometown, Yang Shubao raised soil pigs at home when he was a child, and the Northeast soil pigs are all black, and they can eat blood one by one.
Lao Yang stretched out his hand to show it: "There is no milk to drink." ”
Ma Zai didn't care, and continued to walk around the car with his little short legs of canned food bottles, and he was never tired of it.
Lao Yang had to pick some bananas and feed them, he didn't know if this little thing could eat supplementary food, anyway, Ma Tsai was happy to eat bananas.
Even the banana peel was eaten.
Lao Yang was deeply pleased with this, and in the future, the elves would have a place to dispose of the leftover banana peels and pits.
After finishing his work, he began to prepare his own dinner.
The little green snail is cleaner than the snail in his hometown, so you don't have to spit out the mud and sand, just wash it with water a few times to make sure the shell is clean.
Stir-fry the snail is simple, heat the oil in the pot, put the chili, green onion, ginger and garlic to stir-fry, and then put the snail in the pot with soy sauce, homemade miso and sugar to stir-fry, add a bottle of beer to the snail during the period, and turn it to low heat and stew it slowly after the snail.
Yang Shubao saw that there were still two green peppers picked this morning on the cutting board, so he simply cut them and threw them in to adjust the seasoning.
The soup turned into soup, and at this time the green snail must be cooked, and he turned off the heat and served it as an appetizer.
Lao Yang sat at the window to eat as usual, a large plate of green snails and a bottle of cold beer, and he brought a copy of the "Dictionary of African Wildlife" published by the University of South Africa, enjoying the food and receiving knowledge at the same time.
The meat of the wild green snail is not big, but it is very strong, the thick soup is attached to the snail shell, take a sip before eating, the spicy, fragrant and fresh taste of the river are harmonized, and the whole person is satisfied with this mouthful.
The tail of the green snail was not clipped, and he had to use a toothpick to pick out the snail meat, which was also a lot of fun.
