Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Toad Gets on His Feet

The fat man lay on the soft grass, his eyes looked at the snow-white clouds in the blue sky, he didn't think about anything, he didn't do anything, and it seemed that his heart was floating freely with the white clouds.

Wang Sanpao and the car boss got together and smoked a small cigarette pouch, and after eating and drinking, the three of them took a break by the stream and then hurried.

When the fat man was wandering outside the world, he suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from his feet, so he didn't move, only raised his head and glanced at it.

This time I was quite surprised, I saw a four-legged toad squatting generously on the face of his feet, the size of a strange fist, and his neck was bulging one after another, which had the meaning of showing a hoarse singing voice.

The toad on the top of his feet - don't bite people, the fat man's heart is a little blocked, and the leisure just now was completely destroyed by this unpleasant guest.

With a flick of his foot, the toad was thrown to the grass by him, belly facing the sky, but he quickly turned over, and his two big bulging eyes stared at the fat man, as if he was lucky.

At the moment when the toad turned over, the fat man saw that its belly was yellow in color, densely covered with bright red spots, connected together, as if its belly was also red.

The red belly toad doesn't seem to be a toad? The fat man vaguely remembered something, but he couldn't be sure.

"Third uncle, what kind of toad is this?" the fat man asked Wang Sanpao for advice.

"You don't even know the hash toad, and you're still a backer. Wang Sanpao walked over, suddenly made a move, and buckled the toad at once. Then he pinched its two bulging hind legs and stood upside down in mid-air.

"Hash Toad. Isn't it also called a forest frog?" the fat man got up from the ground, leaned forward, and looked closely at the hash toad, which was dark brown on its back and had black patterns on it. It looks like a "herringbone".

"This one is also called the yellow toad. There are red spots on the belly of the mother land. The commons are white-bellied. The meat is also delicious. Flavorless than chicken. That's why some people call them field chickens. You say it's called Wood Frog. There is also some truth. Yellow toads run to deep water to hibernate in winter. The other three seasons live in the woods. The car boss gave the fat man another animal science lesson.

The fat man suddenly slapped his thigh: "Wonderful." It turns out that there is still this treasure on Daqing Mountain

"Isn't it a yellow toad? What a baby. At most, it tastes better. The car boss looked at the fat man and was happy to look like a bear. It's kind of funny.

Wang Sanpao threw the toad in his hand into the stream. After a "I don't understand" sound. The guy stretched out his leg and pulled his crotch. Fly to the bottom of the water.

"I've heard the old man talk about it. This hash toad is also famous. In the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty at that time. The hash toad was a tribute to the royal palace. Eat the toad oil inside. I heard that it is a big supplement. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi ate human milk in addition to it. Just love this toad oil. And specifically ask our place to pay tribute to toad oil. "There are really a lot of old stories in Wang Sanpao's stomach. But I don't know if it's true or not.

Speaking of forest frogs. But the fat man knew better than he knew. Because I've heard that forest frogs are delicious. Therefore, fat people who have a preference for diet have specifically checked the information. It's just that I haven't seen the living land. So I wasn't sure just now.

"Condense the essence of the mountains and forests, drink the nectar of the clear spring, eat hundreds of insects, hibernate in ice water, and survive three years of frost and snow. This is a summary of the growth of the forest frog, and it sounds very poetic, so the fat man can still remember.

In his time, the forest frog had become a rare species. The oviduct of the female frog is called toad oil, which has the effect of nourishing yang and kidney, nourishing the essence and strengthening the body, and moistening the lungs.

I can't imagine that there is this thing in Daqingshan, and it is the most authentic, how the fat man doesn't like it: if the artificial breeding of forest frogs, it will be another way to make money.

After the excitement gradually subsided, the fat man suddenly slapped his thigh again, but this time his face was full of remorse: "Third uncle, why did you throw away this baby, let's grab a few to taste fresh fat and winter fragrance, but we can't eat it this month." Wang Sanpao looked at the fat man with a smile, as if he was deliberately angry with this greedy guy.

"Why?" the fat man was unwilling.

"The hash toad hibernates in winter, its stomach is clean, and it has not eaten in the spring, but it is okay, and it is fat and fat in the autumn, and it is ready to spend the winter, and it does not eat insects, so it can be eaten in these three seasons. In the past few months, I have eaten insects every day and buried them in my stomach. Wang Sanpao finally stopped teasing the fat man and explained it to him.

The fat man also understands a little, in fact, the simple view of the working people is often scientific, and summer is the breeding season of forest frogs, which invisibly plays a protective role. And decades later, people don't care about these things and go crazy hunting, so they will be on the verge of extinction.

"Then we must catch some in the fall. The fat man smacked his lips, and he was almost gone.

"It's better to dig toad nests in winter. The car boss clicked the small cigarette pouch unhurriedly: "In winter, yellow toads like to hibernate in groups, and if you find a toad nest, you can get an old nose all of a sudden." I remember fishing one winter, caught a big toad nest and filled several buckets, but everyone didn't want to eat it, so they all let it go again. ”

The fat man's eyes widened when he heard this: it seems that there are really a lot of forest frogs on this mountain, and the prospect of breeding is very optimistic, and the only thing that is lacking is that he does not understand this aspect of technology.

In the end, the fat man's eyes fell on the car boss: the old fisherman did this job most appropriately, and everything was slowly groped out in practice.

When the car boss saw that the fat man's eyes were wrong, he was a little ill-intentioned, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Fat man, what are you thinking about?"

The fat man smiled: "It's a good thing, I'm wondering if this forest frog can be artificially bred or not?"

"This thing is still artificially raised, and it is all over the mountain, and besides, few people are proud of this thing, and they can't sell it even if they raise it. The car boss knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the soles of his shoes twice, and then twisted the cigarette ash on the ground a few times and no one ate it, perhaps, more than ten years later. Forest frogs have become a treasure, so let's slowly explore the breeding first. Of course, the fat man knows it. In his time, the price of forest frog land was absolutely prohibitive, especially the female one, which was even more staggering, and there was no market.

"No, it won't. Everyone is willing to eat big fat meat, who is proud of this thing. Let's eat some in the winter with me and Sanpao, and we have to pick the mother to eat, the belly is full of sunspots, and it tastes quite fragrant. Bear paws, monkey heads, flying dragons, and hash toads are known as the four treasures of mountains and forests. Each has its own characteristics, and it is fragrant to eat. "When the car boss saw the fat man like that, he deliberately coveted him.

The fat man glared at him viciously: "Uncle boss, listen to me, I'm right, I'll leave this matter to you, pay more attention." "He's already tasted the Bear's Paw Wyvern, and it's really delicious. This forest frog and monkey really don't know what it tastes like.

"This thing is easy to do, when the yellow toad lays eggs, take more frog eggs and put them in the pond, and slowly turn into small toad seedlings. In the fall, it becomes a small toad. But it takes at least three years or more to be delicious-

Seeing that this guy was going to be greedy again, the fat man hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle boss." Take me for a walk around to see if there are any frog eggs. With that, he stood up. Walk to the stream and look down in the water.

"Don't bother with it. Frogs generally do not lay their eggs in running water, so they have to find small ponds. The owner of the car saw that the fat man was very interested, so he packed his things and continued on the road, searching the small pond in the closed land as he went.

After a while, there was a ditch in the forest, only a few zhang in size, and there were many aquatic plants growing in it, and the pond water was also slightly green. Lying on the water's edge, you can see that there are a lot of plankton in the water, especially a small red worm, which is smaller than the nose of a needle, swimming in groups.

"It should be about the same here, look for it. The car boss began to circle around the pond, and the fat man had never seen a frog egg, but he followed suit.

"There are really little tadpoles!" the fat man suddenly shouted, his eyes were keen, and there were really small black spots in the water, big heads and small tails, which should be tadpoles, that is, the toad seedlings that the car boss said.

The car boss leaned over to take a look, shook his head and said: "This is not easy to say, in addition to the yellow toad, there are also toads, green toads or something, the small tadpoles under them are almost the same, only after they become toads can they be distinguished." ”

The fat man thinks about it: if you end up raising a nest of toads, it will be a joke

"I've got toad eggs. The sound of Wang Sancannon's voice came from the opposite side, and the fat man hurriedly ran over to watch, only to see a white flocculent floating in the water, more than a foot long, silky and silky, like a milky white ribbon.

If you look closely, you can see that there are small black dots inside the ribbon, which are extremely subtle.

"This is a frog egg. "The fat man really saw this thing for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: is this knowledge a little too lacking, and don't blame me, there are fewer and fewer frogs in those years, and I can't see it if I want to.

"I guess this is almost the egg band of a yellow toad, which is generally short and thick, and the frog eggs are whiter. The car boss put on an expert style and analyzed the fat man. "But we can't get it back, and even if we get it back, we won't have a place to raise it, so we will run away as soon as we become a toad. ”

The fat man's heart suddenly moved: there is a small pond in the box, why don't you put it there?

So he waved his hand: "Then let's not get it yet, let's go on, Uncle Sangun, I want to go to the crater lake you said to have a look." ”

"The road is too far, and I can't come back in ten days and a half months. Wang Sanpao was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, this trip must be all over Daqingshan, and I know it well. Of course, the fat man was not afraid, he had already brought a tent with him when he came to the place, and there was a lot of food in the box. Besides, with Wang Sanpao and the car boss, these two people will definitely not starve.

It is said that this tent was sent by three comrades from the zoo, and the last time I met a pack of wolves, the tent was thrown on the mountain, and after the fat man came back, he felt that it was a pity, so he deliberately went up the mountain to find it.

Fortunately, it was not lost or broken, and the fat man took back all three tents, and by the way, he also caught a pheasant that was holding a nest inside. The pheasant came home and ate it, but the eggs were put in the box.

Wang Sanpao saw that the fat man was very angry, so he nodded and agreed, and when he came out of the tunzi, the fat man told them that he wanted to take a good look at Daqingshan.

After walking a few hundred meters, the fat man suddenly sighed: "Leave the thing there just now, you wait for a while, I'll go back and get the bag back." With that, he ran back.

"Throw it all over the place. The car boss muttered.

The fat man ran back to the pond, then put his hand into the water, took the toad eggs out of the water, and with a stroke of thought, he went into the box.

"This time, we'll also raise tadpoles. The fat man shook his hand beautifully, and suddenly thought that the word tadpole was quite familiar, so he laughed: "Actually, I have been raising it for more than ten years, but I just haven't found the target, and I'm blind." ”

(The essence is gone, make up for it next week)
