The uncle and the aunt heard that it was the fox who caused the trouble, and they were also worried, and the aunt felt that it would be safer to buy a lock to lock it in the future. Who in the village doesn't know that the fox is extremely cunning, and if he comes once, he will basically come a second time and use it as a canteen.

"It's been a long time since a fox has come down. Uncle said.

In the past three or two years, there have been relatively few people in the mountains, there is a lot of game, and foxes and other wild animals have not come down to the mountains to harm poultry. However, wild boars are more rampant, and cassava grown in the mountains is often cared for.

Wild boars are very annoying, and they often come out in groups of several to eat your food in broad daylight, and when they are full, they have to turn over the whole field and destroy it.

Therefore, the villagers did not have a good opinion of the wild boar. Last year, the village also reported to the town and asked for support. But the town has been dragging its feet, and no one has been sent down to destroy them until now.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Then buy a lock!"

Foxes come at night, people are often day and night, you have to sleep at night, there is no way, you can't ambush and catch foxes every night, right?

Zhang Liye knows very well that foxes are not easy to catch.

Just as he was about to prepare breakfast, Ye Tiansheng came to the door with a cage containing most of the fish and shrimp in it, which he caught in a trap cage in the river last night.

"Luckily, I caught a black fish, Brother Fan, you take it to make soup. Ye Tiansheng said, catching a black fish weighing three or four catties from the cage.

Blackfish are ferocious, fertile, and have a great appetite, often eating all other fish in a lake or pond, even their own juveniles. Blackfish can also glide on land, migrate to other waters in search of food, and can live up to three days away from the water.

This kind of fish is also a tonic, the meat is delicate, the taste is delicious, and the nutritional value is quite high, but it is relatively rare and difficult to catch.

"You take the fish back, and the river shrimp is left for me, just to make porridge." Zhang Fan said to him.

When he saw a large pile of river shrimp inside, his face was overjoyed. Those are all green shrimp, almost the size of a thumb, the meat is tender, and the protein is high, so it is undoubtedly a good choice for porridge.

Exactly, there are three or five river crabs. River fresh porridge, Zhang Fan drooled a little when he thought about it, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

When I was young, I used a cage to catch shrimp, which was the best way to catch.

Two round bamboo baskets are woven with bamboo, one is 25 centimeters long, and there are inverted whiskers at both ends. The other is slightly shorter and is used for shrimp harvesting. Put bait in the cage, tie the shrimp pot to a thick and long straw rope with red thread, and use a bamboo pole to hand the prepared shrimp pot into the water one or two meters offshore, and the straw rope and shrimp pot will sink into the water after soaking into the water. Shrimp like aquatic plants, so they will go to the cage to feed, and after entering the cage, they will not be able to get out.

Put a cage in the river in the evening and go to put it away the next day, usually the harvest is good.

The river in their village is the most this kind of green shrimp, the river water is clear, but there are not many big fish, unless the reservoir, the pool, can see the relatively large fish.

Ye Tiansheng hesitated for a moment, thinking that Brother Fan was not a polite person, so he nodded, and poured all the other things in the cage into a bucket.

Zhang Fan left the green shrimp and river crabs, and let Ye Tiansheng take the rest back.

"Came to me for breakfast and we went up the mountain. Zhang Fan said again.

"Okay!" Ye Tiansheng didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't ask what he was doing on the mountain.

After Ye Tiansheng left, the aunt was busy cooking fresh porridge in the river, but the uncle asked what to do on the mountain.

"Find something. Zhang Fan couldn't tell his uncle that he was short of money.

Without capital, many plans cannot be put forward. He vaguely remembered that there were a lot of Tianqi on the mountain of Lei Gongding, and he saw if he could dig some back.

In the past three or five years, the price of notoginseng has soared, especially the wild notoginseng, which is almost invisible on the market. From the price of a few dozen yuan a pound three years ago, to three or two hundred last year, and nearly 1,000 yuan this year.

Of course, this is talking about Wild Tanachi. Artificially planted, the market price is more than 100. Those Tianqi who apply chemical fertilizers and pesticides have actually greatly reduced their efficacy, and it is not unreasonable to be cheap.

For breakfast and a plate of sauerkraut prepared by himself, Zhang Fan ate three bowls of it. You know, what they use at home is the sea bowl of the past, not the fist-sized one in the restaurant.

Lei Gongding is a high mountain near Zhangjiazhai, because it is often difficult to see thunder and lightning falling, so it has this name.

The vegetation of this mountain is very lush, and the road is not easy to walk. Those who have studied physical chemistry will not be surprised that there is a lot of lightning and can decompose nitrogen in the air, and nitrogen is a nutrient.

followed Zhang Fan to set off, as well as Li Quan, the big guy.

He didn't go out to work at the construction site, so he thought about staying in the village and taking care of the fruit with Zhang Fan. Like Ye Tiansheng, Zhang Fan shouted, and without saying a word, he followed with a mountain opening knife.

Zhangjiazhai is located in the subtropics, but Lei Gongding is mainly pine, fir and other conifers, the big trees that hug the thick mountains are all over the mountain, and all kinds of vines weave nets in the woods.

Fortunately, there is a stupid big man like Li Quan to open the way in front, and a mountain knife is hard to cut a small road.

"Brother Fan, what are we looking for?" Li Quan couldn't help but ask.

"Mountain paint, I remember that there are quite a lot of Lei Gongding here. ”

In the past, there would be villagers who would go up the mountain to dig a few and go back to make soup for the elderly. Nowadays, with the popularity of Western medicine, herbal medicine has long been disliked. Instead of going up the mountain to find herbs, it is better to get a shot quickly.

Mountain paint is the name of the local villagers in Zhangjiazhai, Ye Tiansheng nodded: "No one has come for a long time, there should be a lot, right?"

After walking for a while, I came across a yellow monkey, the size of a calf, and found that the person immediately ran away without a trace.

It is a solitary animal, with a timid and cautious habit, mostly foraging at night or early morning and dusk, and hiding in the bushes to rest during the day.

In the southern mountain forests, they can often be seen.

"Brother Fan, do you want to stay here and ambush for a while?" Li Quan said happily.

Huang Lu has a habit of returning to the place where it was originally active, no matter how far it runs. Therefore, it is not difficult to catch them, and if you get a few traps, you usually can't run away.

"Forget it, it's important to get down to business, and I don't know how long it will take to wait for the rabbit. Zhang Fan shook his head and said.

Tianqi generally grows in high mountains, and the best quality is more than 1,000 meters above sea level. On the way, he saw clumps of pine mushrooms, and Zhang Fan did not let go.

These mountain goods are very difficult to eat outside. Even if there were, eight or nine times out of ten were artificially grown.

In addition to the general mushroom growth conditions, pine mushrooms must also grow together with pine trees, symbiosis with pine roots, and its growth environment is in the pine forest on shady slopes or semi-shady slopes at an altitude of five or six hundred meters.

The flesh of this mushroom is fat and the taste is delicious and tender. It not only has excellent flavor and attractive fragrance, but also is a nutritious edible mushroom, which has the reputation of "the king of edible mushrooms", no less than monkey's head and Ganoderma lucidum, and Europe and the United States regard it as a treasure. How could Zhang Fan let it go?

After climbing up for a while, he gradually saw Tian Qi's plants, sparsely scattered and scattered in the forest.
