Chapter 243: Pinching Sparrows

The pepper that slipped over from under the eaves raised his little head, and looked at Qin Lianfeng, who was walking with wind on his head and head in Xingxing, with some envy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's not for the phrase "pinch the yellow bird" he said.

Although the yellow finch roll and stewed yellow finch are the favorites of Sichuan pepper, you can't forget it after eating it once. Compared with Huang Que, what she can't hear the most is the three words "Lotus Swing".

Shu Yan was already jumping up with cheers, shouting "I'm going too" in her mouth.

Shu Miao listened and followed the words: "I'll go too, I'll go too!" ”

Ding Xiang was already hugging Qin Lianfeng's arm, and her eyes were shining.

The little girl and little boy in the countryside of Lianxi don't know the yellow finch, not to mention the lilacs that go up the mountain and down the water like walking on the ground.

However, looking up at the sky, Lilac was a little puzzled, hugged Qin Lianfeng and asked in a loud voice: "Uncle Xiaoshu, didn't grandfather say that the yellow finches are all clever ghosts, and they can only be pinched in the wind and rain!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky: "It's a sunny day today, not to mention that it's still daytime, can you pinch the yellow finch?" ”

Fennel, who was holding pepper leaves, nodded when she heard this, and was also puzzled, and asked: "Uncle, isn't it after the rice harvest to pinch the finches, this time it's almost nine, can you still find the yellow finch?" ”

Pepper listened to Fennel Lilac's question, and nodded incessantly, looking at Qin Lianfeng with a blank eye.

Or because of the abundant reeds on the side of the winding Lianxi Creek, the lush vegetation on the bank, and the berries, grasses, seeds, rice and wheat, aphids and other foods that the yellow finch likes, plus the yellow finch is much smarter than the sparrow, and the courage is much greater than the sparrow, so in addition to the large number of roe deer, wild ducks and other waterfowl breed, the most is still a flock of yellow finch, which can be said to fly up and not see the sky, and fall down to cover the water surface.

However, the yellow finch is different from the sparrow in that it is a migratory bird that migrates with the seasons, despite its small size.

Unlike sparrows, which have wings but do not fly very high, yellow finches have very well-developed pectoral muscles and are very good at long-distance flights.

Therefore, at the beginning of summer every year, when the wheat is filled, they will migrate from south to north to reproduce. In late summer and early autumn, when the rice is about to ripen, it migrates from north to south for the winter.

The people in the countryside of Lianxi basically have the season of pinching and holding the birds twice a year. The "wheat sparrow" in late spring and early summer, and the "rice sparrow" in late autumn and early winter.

However, compared with the "wheat sparrow" that survived the winter and consumed a large amount of food and was slightly smaller, the "rice sparrow" with a fat waist was more tender and delicious after eating grain all the way from north to south.

Fresh but not fishy, fat but not greasy, crispy bones and tender meat, I don't know when the stewed yellow finches, tofu skin wrapped in yellow finch rolls, has been the supreme delicacy in the minds of the people of Lianxi.

The Ding Zhuang of every household are basically good at pinching and holding birds. The Qin family has gone from Father Qin to Brother Qin Lianhu, except for Qin Lianfeng, who is slightly younger, and the rest are masters of pinching birds.

It's all experienced.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, every late autumn, Father Qin and Brother Qin Lianhu must find an appropriate time to go out and pinch the birds and try them for the family.

As for this "right timing", it is also a matter of experience accumulated over many years.

Just like the cloves said that a windy or rainy night is conducive to pinching the yellow finch.

Because the yellow finch usually inhabits the reeds that the wind cannot squeeze into, a person must move the reed pole to enter, and even if he is careful, he will inevitably make a sound. But the yellow finch is very alert and clever, but if it makes the slightest noise, it will be startled.

And if it just flew by itself, it would have screamed to call the police, and as a result, all the yellow finches around it that heard the warning flew away.

But if it is a windy day, although the reeds cannot be squeezed into the wind, the wind can spin around on the reeds, and the reed leaves are blown upside down by the wind, making a sound of booing and booing, which can naturally cover up people's movements.

If it rains, under the cover of crackling rain, it is easier to catch yellow finches that are wet with their feathers and cannot fly or are too lazy to move.

But today's weather, don't talk about this cold winter, does the yellow finch hide in the cat winter, just say that even if there is a yellow finch, but the time and place are not all occupied, can this catch the yellow finch?

Hua Jiao tilted his head and looked at Qin Lianfeng.

Qin Lianfeng was surrounded by the little girls, but she didn't have the slightest impatience, and still smiled.

I saw that the pepper was leaning up on his thin neck, tilting his head and looking at him, grinning, and holding the pepper in his arms as soon as he fished his arms.

Hua Jiao giggled, and listened to Qin Lianfeng say to them: "The yellow finches are all spending the winter with us, and they want to find their own." But I'm just for fun with your uncle, and it doesn't matter if you can't pinch it, speaking of which, I haven't pinched the yellow finch in the past few years! ”

But it's not because of the side, but since the flood the year before last, the ecological vegetation in Lianxi has been completely destroyed, which has led to the yellow finch having no familiar habitat after coming, and can only settle elsewhere.

Although after two years of recuperation, the reeds in the lotus stream have grown again, but because the lotus stream at the door is opening the river and building an embankment, those yellow finches that have just settled down have been frightened away again.

Counting up, Qin Lianfeng has indeed not pinched the yellow finch for several years.

When Lilac Fennel heard this, she nodded suddenly and let Qin Lianfeng go to the wing.

The pepper slipped off Qin Lianfeng's body, and Shu Yan was already pulling the clove fennel and said, "Second cousin, second cousin, we will also follow my father and your uncle to Lianxi to pinch the yellow finch, okay?" It's going to be fun! ”

Fennel smiled and didn't speak.

Lilac didn't know that it was very funny, but she had followed her grandmother and mother to visit her eldest brother-in-law's house today, and she had promised her mother that she would not be naughty......

After holding back and exerting a lot of effort, he shook his head in the end: "You guys go play, I won't go." ”

Shu Yan's eyes widened, and after a while, she reacted, leaned over and lowered her voice: "Are you worried that your aunt won't allow you to go?" As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you look at me." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lilac to speak, his eyes rolled and he ran into the kitchen in a puff of smoke and went to find Xiao Yao: "Mother, mother, we also have to follow Daddy to pinch the yellow finch!" ”

Shu Miao watched, and also rushed into the kitchen with Shu Yan.

Xiangye was stunned and looked at Shu Yan's back.

Qin Lianfeng had already walked out of the wing room happily.

The little boys in the family all grew up with smashes, Qin Lianfeng is so old, Qin Lao Niang naturally didn't say anything, just told him to be careful, and went with him.

Only Yao's family couldn't rest assured that Lilac knew that his little daughter was a monkey, so he was worried that she would have to follow her, and hurriedly followed Qin Lianfeng out of the wing.

But I didn't expect Lilac to be so well-behaved today. (To be continued.) )
