Chapter 136: Tasting Birds' Eggs
The colored flowers are entwined in the rattans, and a handful can be grabbed at the foot of your hand, and many of them have tender green leaves.
This year's honeysuckle is really not lazy, full, the fragrance of this flower is more pure than before, it seems that this year is a big year, this honeysuckle is also the same as the fruit outside, divided into large and small years.
Zhang Niu's hands flew, put the white flowers into the bag, and looked at the fat man, who was picking them one by one, and Zhang Niu almost fell into the bushes.
"Fatty, are you counting flowers, are you still afraid of insects, hurry up and pick the whole piece." yelled at the fat man.
The lion roared in Buddhism, and the effect was quite good, and the fat man laughed after hearing it. This time in my hand is immediately much faster, and it is no longer the same as counting flowers there just now, which is just as inefficient.
Although the honeysuckle blooms a lot, with the help of a firewood knife, all the way through, the white honeysuckle falls into the plastic bag. Today it was not bad.
"Bird's Nestβ"
When the fat man saw the bird's nest, he cried out.
The fat man is really making a fuss. There are bird's nests in the mountains, this is a very normal thing, why shout so loudly, I can't hear it.
Get out of the bushes and walk towards the fat man.
Squeeze into the bushes. Come to the fat man, "What are you shouting about?" I've never seen a bird's nest. β
The fat man smiled, "Isn't this luck?" Pick a honeysuckle. You can also see a bird's nest. What a miracle. β
Originally, in the front ground honeysuckle rattan. with pine needles. And weeds. The bird's feathers are woven into a fist-sized nest.
Look at this bird's nest. It is clearly the land that has just been built.
The bird's nest has a small hole in the top of the rattan. This is supposed to be where the birds enter their nests. I touched it casually with my hand. It seems that the bird went out looking for food and did not return.
Vertical in small holes. There are now six speckled eggs lying inside. It didn't take long for the nest to be built. This egg is probably still in the yolk state.
The fat man looked at Zhang Niu's series of movements, didn't know what he was doing, and asked one by one, "What are you doing here, looking at the bird's nest or ......"
Zhang Niu, who turned his head, said mysteriously, "Do you want to taste this fresh bird's egg." β
Pointing to the eggs in the bird's nest, "Can I eat these eggs?" It won't be all the birds that are formed inside! He said nervously.
Zhang Niu laughed, "Look at you, I grew up in a mountain village, this bird egg can be eaten or not, can you still know, this bird's nest is a mountain sparrow, or not long after laying eggs, or this bird will definitely fly out when it was frightened just now, but you just appeared in the bird's nest just now, and you didn't see the bird come out, this is a good proof." β
Listening to Zhang Niuyang's words, the truth is enough, and it is estimated that it is correct, "It is said that bird eggs taste good, so let's try them!" When it came to tasting the water, it began to gurgle.
Zhang Niu will not destroy the bird's nest, stretch out two fingers to pinch out the bird's eggs one by one, and put them in the palm of his hand.
"Fatty, you take four, just leave two for me." Eggs with open palms.
"You're welcome." It sounds like a lot, but the eggs are too small to eat.
"Ha, you're right, it's still egg yolk inside, and it hasn't changed at all." Set aside a fat man to see the situation clearly, and said happily.
Bird eggs are eaten raw, with a faint fishy smell. After eating, it has a faint sweetness. At first, many people didn't get used to it.
The four eggs all entered the fat man's mouth at once, and he smacked his lips, "It's delicious, it's just too little." "There are eggshells left on the ground.
"Be content! In the mountains, the nests of sparrows and birds are nested in the bushes. If you're lucky, you might even be able to meet them. Said with a smile.
The fat man listened to the laughter and rummaged through the bushes.
I don't know what I just said, it's right, it's still good, watching the fat man flying up and down the firewood knife.
Shake your head and forget it, let's go back and continue to pick honeysuckle, or wait until noon.
Zhang Niu went back to bury his head in picking gold flowers, the plastic bag gradually swelled up, and the fat man had nothing to show up after a flip, so he could only come back and continue to pick honeysuckle.
A few eggs are enough to satisfy your hunger, but they are not enough to eat.
A large piece of honeysuckle fell into a plastic bag, which seems to be a lot, but the weight is indeed very light, very light, and not enough.
"Ah Niu, it's not in your villa, why don't you run into the mountain and pick up the honeysuckle," a rough voice came from behind.
Turning around, there was a dense forest of trees, and a figure came out. It's not Shengming, who else.
"Ah, why are you, I thought someone was coming."
Sheng Ming said bitterly, "Isn't this for your aunt to catch a strong man." You have to come and pick the honeysuckle, you. β
I see, I thought you were okay to come.
"I want to pick the honeysuckle and go back to make tea, don't you work hard, come in and pick some yourself, and said to Shengming.
"Oh, yes, I thought it was like me, let's scratch it." Le Hehe said.
Seeing that Sheng Ming was empty, he didn't look like he was picking honeysuckle, so he asked curiously, "Why don't you bring anything with you to pick honeysuckle?" β
erected the big firewood knife in his hand, "I am not as troublesome as you, I am directly cut off in pieces, tied up, carried to the intersection, pulled back by traffic, and then picked slowly, like you pick less land, you can take a bag, my family has to pick a lot, otherwise it is really not a task to complete." β
In doing so, Zhang Niu knows that occasionally many people are bundled
It's a good idea to get it back and pick it slowly.
"Do you have to pick a lot this year?" Hearing Shengming like this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, many relatives have asked my family to pick more, and you know that many of my relatives are in the city, and this honeysuckle is expensive to buy, so let our family help."
Zhang Niu only knew that he was a relative.
"Shengming, who are you nagging about, don't hurry up and work." A female voice came from the thick trees.
Don't guess that this must be the mother-in-law of the Shengming family.
"Oh, got it, how to get inside, this place is picked." Turning around, he shouted.
"Then I'll go back first, my mother-in-law is in a hurry." After that, he went into the dense woods.
"I didn't expect that there are quite a few people in your village picking this honeysuckle, and I really don't know if I don't come," the fat man said after Shengming left.
"Honeysuckle is a good thing, it can be sold, it can be soaked and drunk directly, or it can be given away, it is more authentic than what is sold in the outside market, and it is an absolute good thing to send to relatives."
Zhang Niu's words are really true, honeysuckle seems ordinary, but this is a very good thing in a mountain village.
Looking at the bulging plastic bag, this place is almost picked, anyway, there are enough of them, it should be enough to drink.
"The fat man is gone, how can I go and see elsewhere."
"Okay!"
Call back the big wolves that are burrowing around in the bushes.
In the mountains, the big wolf was very excited, especially Xiao Hei, who wagged his tail behind Zhang Niu, and came over from time to time to rub the leg of Zhang Niu's pants.
Bypass quite a few dense bushes,. Occasionally, I saw many village aunts picking honeysuckle, watching the sun hang high, and it was still very early.
I ran through several places, and I was already the first to get there, and I was too late.
"No, you have to rest, or you won't be able to walk." Lean against a tree and rest.
Bad sweat broke out on his forehead, not to mention the fat guy, "Okay, let's rest!" β
Although the temperature is low, the sunlight is sprinkled into many spots in the woods.
"Is there any good place to go in this place, I always pick honeysuckle here, it seems to be boring." The fat man who relied on rest came to say this.
It's normal for honeysuckle pickers to be boring.
Great place? What is a good place to go in this big mountain, Zhang Niu can't think of a good place for a while, a good place, hey, it's still very good to have that valley, and I haven't been there for a long time.
"There is a place to go, I guess this distance is a bit far, it takes 20 minutes to walk, and the place is still very good."
"What a place, it's worth the money, this will go, if you run for nothing, these legs will be tired today." Said with a stinky face.
I'm afraid of being tired and saying that this interface is too bad, "The place is good, if it's really a garbage place as you said, I'll let you drink plum wine when you go back, a small bowl down, your lead-filled feet, what's the matter." β
The fat man sounded like a god, "Okay, I want to drink that kind of mist green plum wine, so ordinary that I don't drink it,"
There is wine to drink, and you have to bargain, what is the reason, usually Zhang Niu drinks occasionally, which does not let the fat man keep thinking about the aroma of the wine, the taste.
"Good. It's up to you. "I guess this guy is only going to do with this wine.
There is a mist green plum wine in. The fat man obviously came to the spirit, as if he had drunk some stimulant, and followed closely behind Zhang Niu.
In early summer, this road is easier to walk than in winter, and you can vaguely see a lot of paths, so that Zhang Niudu can walk faster and more stable.
A pile of strange rocks appeared in front of it. The jumble of stones piled up all the way, and the stones were covered by the small bamboos that were pulled out.
Zhang Niu saw a piece of shallow small bamboo in front of him, turned the direction, and prepared to take a long detour, where he could pass through safely in winter, but now in early summer, the old routine is not good.
Seeing that Zhang Niu was going to take a detour and not walk over, the fat man was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Isn't the road ahead very good, why do you want to take a detour." "My face was full of bewilderment.
Zhang Niu said casually, "It's not that I don't want to go, but taking this road, it's too dangerous, I'm not sure, why don't you hurry up and go around the distance." β
The fat man who listened was even more confused, what is the danger of a road, and said, "What is the danger of this good road, talk about it." β
The fat man is not from a mountain village, so he naturally doesn't know some rules in the mountains. It's about this kind of pile of rocks and small bamboos covered with turquoise, and there are pale green poisonous snakes lurking in this kind of road.
Poisonous snakes love to stay in this kind of place, the bamboo and green are mixed together, it is difficult to recognize at all, maybe you will not understand the problem until you bite it.
Ordinary people in the village rarely walk these strange stone roads. Rather go farther, or safety, the village elders often warn children that if they don't listen to it too much and see more, they will naturally keep this knowledge in mind.
After listening to Zhang Niu's words, the fat man nodded again and again, this is terrible
After Zhang Niu said this, the fat man noticed that the weeds on this path were still green, and there seemed to be no traces of being stepped on, so it seemed that what he said was really reasonable.
Although the two of them took a long detour and walked with peace of mind, the fat man remembered the strange stone pile, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
