About a quarter of an hour later

The pile of bamboo was all moved down the mountain.

When the brothers returned home with the bamboo, they began to cut the bamboo strips and prepare to weave the fence.

"Brother, what are we going to make it look like?" Zhang Yi looked at the pile of bamboo, and asked Zhang Feng at a loss.

"What else do you want to weave? Isn't it just a simple horizontal and vertical cross?" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that at the level of our brothers, can we still weave a flower?

"Hehe, that's good, in fact, I think so too!" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Zhang Yi nodded reassuringly, such a simple fence, he would too.

This kind of horizontal and vertical cross fence has a very simple weaving technique.

First, split the bamboo into a meter long and three centimeters wide, split to the required amount, and then split a part of the slender bamboo strips for weaving.

Then start weaving from the middle, take a bamboo strip, fold it in half from the middle, pin it to the first bamboo, and so on, one by one

You can fold it back when you knit it to the twentieth one, repeat it a second time, and weave it back and forth four or five times, so that the middle section is fixed.

Then start knitting the next section, the same way.

In fact, it's like playing a soccer ball or a dog going around a pile, moving forward in a cross, and returning again at the end.

Of course, the gap between the bamboo strips can be adjusted as needed, for example, Zhang Yi's fence is used to block the chicks, so the gap needs to be very small, about two centimeters.

"Okay, you two guys are pretty good!"

The second uncle came back from a trip to the entrance of the village, and when he saw that Zhang Feng and his brothers were making up a good look, he immediately said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's nonsense!" Zhang Feng and the two smiled, although they said so, they were still very happy to be praised by the second uncle.

"Yes, but the little bamboo you two have is definitely not enough, and you go and cut twice as much as this, and leave the hedge weaving to me first. The second uncle looked at the bamboo in the yard, and then said to Zhang Feng and his brothers.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain!"

Zhang Feng and Zhang Yi picked up the tools again, put the firewood knife and saw on the car, and drove three wheels to the back mountain.

"Xiaoyi's bamboo cut this time is longer, about four meters, otherwise it will not be easy to use when weaving fences. ”

"Got it, brother!!"

This time, the brothers still have the old rules, Zhang Feng is responsible for cutting the bamboo, and Zhang Yi saws them into sections, which is not only convenient to get down the mountain, but also convenient to transport.

The two brothers work together, and their profits are gold.

This time, it only took half an hour to cut more than 20 bamboos.

Most of them are bamboos, and only two are spotted bamboos.

"Haha, brother, look at what good things I found?" suddenly Zhang Yi shouted in surprise.

Zhang Feng looked back,

Wow!

"You're lucky! Two bamboo insects have been found!!"

"Hehe, it's all luck. Zhang Yi smiled very happily, he really didn't expect that there were bamboo insects in this bamboo.

"Quick, wrap the taro leaves, don't let them run away!!" Seeing that the bamboo insects were frightened and were about to crawl away, Zhang Feng immediately reminded.

Hearing Zhang Feng's reminder, Zhang Yi was not slow, and quickly picked up two taro leaves, and kept loading the bamboo insects into it.

The brothers were like catching ants, their hands were fast, and in less than a minute, all the bamboo insects were wrapped in taro leaves, and finally they were tied with thatch, and the bundle was like zongzi.

"Alas, it's a pity that it's a little less!" Zhang Yi said with a sigh looking at the bamboo insect wrapped in taro leaves in his hand.

"Sigh, hurry up and work, let's look for it after we finish the work, there must be a lot of them in the bamboo forest!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's work first!" Zhang Yi was not entangled, put the bamboo insect on the side, picked up the saw again and began to work.

Bamboo insects are also known as bamboo bees and bamboo maggots, and some places also call them "bamboo shoot maggots".

It gnaws on young bamboo shoots to absorb nutrients, grows from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a finger in 20 days, parasitizes in the bamboo tube, eats from the tip of the bamboo section by section, and finally hides in the roots, the body fat stops eating, and is ready to break out of the pupae.

Bamboo insects are rich in protein and amino acids. Look at the appearance of the bamboo insect, fat and white, about 3 cm long, spindle-shaped, round and round, with thin eyes and small black mouth, some people praise it cute, some people hate it disgusting.

But the bamboo insects are sweet and fragrant, and they seem to have a creamy taste. Therefore, bamboo insects are also a rare local delicacy in Aoyama, and it is one of the best snacks for everyone to drink.

Although the taste of bamboo insects is good, the damage to bamboo is particularly huge, and almost every bamboo that appears will eventually dry up and die.

Therefore, the locals are very happy to go to the mountains to find bamboo insects, as long as they find bamboo insects, they will catch them and eat them, which is the simplest and most crude way to control, and it is also particularly useful.

……

After a while, the brothers were finally done!

So the two began to look for traces of bamboo insects in the bamboo forest.

In fact, the method of finding bamboo insects is also very simple, just see if there are fresh holes on the bamboo, if there are fresh holes in the bamboo, then there are eight or nine out of ten bamboo insects in it.

"Brother, come and see, there should be something in here!" Soon, Zhang Yi made a discovery and found a cave on a bamboo.

"Yes, yes!!Let's cut it first!"

When Zhang Feng saw it, his face was overjoyed, and he raised the firewood knife and chopped it up.

About ten seconds later,

The bamboo clicked and fell to the ground.

Zhang Feng cut open the bamboo with holes again, and the dense bamboo insects inside appeared in front of the two of them.

"That's a lot!!"

"Hehe, this harvest is good, there should be about half a catty!!" It is really rare to be able to harvest half a catty of bamboo insects at a time, I have to say that the luck of Zhang Feng's brothers is really good.

"I'm going to pick taro leaves!"

Zhang Yi was about to make a move, but was stopped by Zhang Feng.

"No, can't we just make money with this piece of bamboo? You cover the mouth of the bamboo, and I'll cut it off." ”

The brothers cooperated with each other, and soon a well-established bamboo tube was sawn down.

As long as the mouth of the bamboo tube is blocked with bamboo leaves, so that the bamboo insects will not escape.

With this harvest, the brothers were also very excited and continued to look for traces of bamboo insects in the bamboo forest.

I have to say that bamboo insects are really hateful, just in this one or two acres of bamboo forest, the brothers found five or six places, if the two of them hadn't found them, there would definitely be more bamboo that would be plagued next year.

The embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, and the harm of bamboo insects is the same, only timely prevention and control can effectively curb the disaster of bamboo insects.

"Hehe, there are so many bamboo insects, you can have snacks when you drink at night!" Thinking of the golden fried bamboo insects, Zhang Yile laughed.

"What are you thinking, saliva?" Seeing Zhang Yi's smirk, Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"Huh?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted,

wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, you tease me again!
