Chapter 375: The Snail is in Trouble
"Dad, the snails are delicious." The small flower bowl was piled up, Niuniu nodded with satisfaction, ate the delicious snail in a big gulp, and said happily.
Not to mention, the snail meat is really delicious, the taste is crisp and tender, the juice is thick and thick, it turns into juice when you bite it gently, and it is fragrant after eating, not only the little ones love to eat, but Fang Yun himself also likes it.
Maybe it's a good idea to raise some snails to eat. Fang Yun was a little moved, the snails are easy to feed, just throw a little vegetable leaves, just pay attention, don't let the chickens and ducks at home and so on make them a disaster.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, a small mountain of hot flesh pressed on me, no wonder I dreamed at night that I was crushed under the Five Finger Mountain.
The little fat girl had a sense of crisis, and she became more and more clingy, she had already slept alone, but now she began to pester Fang Yun again. Gently put the little chubby girl down and stuffed it into the quilt, Fang Yun got dressed and got up.
"Grandma is early, aunt is early." When they came downstairs, their grandmother and the old beggar had already gotten up to prepare breakfast, and Fang Yun said hello with a smile.
"Why don't you sleep a little more?" Grandma said with a smile while cutting the pickled cabbage.
"Yesterday's snail tasted good, I plan to catch some and raise it back, and I want to eat it conveniently in the future." Fang Yun's saliva was about to flow out, the golden sauerkraut, the taste was very good, and when eaten with porridge, the taste was really amazing.
Grandma is very good at making pickles, whether it is pickled duck eggs or sauerkraut, radish or something, as long as you have eaten it, you will definitely want to eat it a second time, Fang Yun loves to eat it the most, and she can't get tired of eating it from childhood to adulthood.
Fang Yun's saliva and greedy appearance was a little exaggerated, amusing the two old men. Fang Yun smiled, picked up the net pocket and carried the bucket, and went out to catch snails with high spirits.
After more than an hour of busy work, the whole valley was searched, and a bucket was full, at least two or three hundred, but most of them were only the size of thumbs, and there were not many small eggs like yesterday's, not enough for a large family to eat.
The snail breeding site is chosen at the back of the villa, where the chicken coop and pigsty are located. It is in the downwind position. The smell doesn't affect the villa.
Cement, stone bricks, and sand are all ready-made, and there are still some leftovers from the last villa, which now just come in handy. Putting the bucket aside, Fang Yun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working.
A flock of half-sized chickens and ducks lined up to walk out of the chicken coop in vigour. Leading the way is none other than the amazing rooster that dives. The chicks hatched with it have grown up long ago. And into everyone's stomach, only this kind of magical, because of the magical experience of diving. got the attention of Niuniu, so he was safe and sound in the chicken flock.
With shiny hair, bright red and tall cockscomb, the magical big rooster is like a proud king, patrolling the territory with a group of subordinates, seeing Fang Yun, he thought that the master had come to feed, and ran to the bucket excitedly, jumped slightly, stretched out his mouth and pecked, and a big snail with a finger entered his stomach.
Fang Yun hurriedly lifted the bucket and drove away the chickens and ducks that had swarmed around, and smiled bitterly, how could he forget that chickens and ducks love to eat snails very much, these snails are simply a supreme meal for chickens and ducks.
When Fang Yun was a child, he often went to catch some snails, and the snails came back to feed the chickens and ducks at home.
It seems that I have to find a place to raise these snails, otherwise no amount of snails will be enough for these chickens and ducks, especially the diving magic rooster, which is twice as large as an ordinary rooster, and its strength is surprisingly great.
A group of little guys lined up with water cups to brush their teeth and wash their faces, the little fat girl saw Fang Yun walking over with a bucket, she didn't care about spitting bubbles with her friends, buried herself in the water and snorted twice, wiped it dry, put the small basin and small water cups away, and the fragrance was not wiped anymore, and chased Fang Yun with a roar.
"Wow, that's a lot of snails! Dad, I'll mention it, I'll mention it. Looking at the bucket full of delicious snails, the little fat girl screamed excitedly, coquettishly, and wanted to help carry the bucket.
"Can you move it?" Fang Yun looked the little fat girl up and down suspiciously, the rural bucket was quite big, and with the handle, it was on the little fat girl's shoulder.
"Mmmmmmmm The little chubby girl nodded vigorously.
"Alright then, be careful." It's really a little girl who loves to be reckless, Fang Yun put the bucket on the ground with a smile, and watched the little fat girl perform with both hands on her chest.
"Dad, Niuniu can't lift it." Holding the bucket with both hands, she couldn't even see the road, stumbled a few steps, the little fat girl's little face was flushed, she couldn't bear it, and she shouted to her father for help.
The little chubby girl stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, Fang Yun's eyes were quick, she held on, and took the bucket with a smile. Niuniu deflated her little mouth, Niuniu couldn't lift the big bucket, and her father was going to laugh at Niuniu.
"It's okay, Niuniu is still young now, and when Niuniu grows up, she will have strength." Fang Yun hurriedly comforted, he didn't dare to laugh at the little fat girl anymore, if she laughed at the little fat girl again, she would lose the golden bean.
"But Niu Niu has grown up." Niuniu is very entangled, she doesn't want her father to laugh at her, but she doesn't want to admit that she is still a little child.
It's funny to look at the little fat girl who doesn't want to be a villain, the child wants to grow up quickly, but the adult wants to go back to childhood. said with a smile: "Okay, six-year-old Niuniu, Dad is going to build a nest to raise snails, do you want to go together." ”
"Well, Niu Niu is going." Niuniu nodded vigorously, instantly resurrected with full blood, happily took Fang Yun's big hand, and jumped towards the foot of the back mountain.
You don't need to get a snail nest, as long as you prevent the snail from escaping and not being harmed by chickens, ducks, birds, etc. At the foot of the hill is at an angle of 90 degrees, the other two sides are cut with stone bricks, and a canopy is made on top, and a layer of sand is spread inside, and a simple snail's nest is covered.
Pour all the snails in the bucket into the nest, the little fat girl brought a handful of vegetable leaves and put them in, watching the snails climb on the vegetable leaves and start to eat the vegetable leaves, the little fat girl chattered happily: "The snail eats quickly, it grows big, and Niuniu will have a lot of delicious snails to eat." ”
Fortunately, the snail couldn't understand what Niuniu was saying, otherwise she would have to starve to death one by one, and before she grew up, the little fat girl wanted to eat her own meat.
After breakfast, Fang Yun sent the little ones out to school, and he found the village chief Fang Zhong, the snails in the valley now have a tendency to become disasters, Fang Yun estimated that the village should not be much better, the spirit gathering array in the village was half a year longer than the valley.
As soon as they entered the door, Fang Zhong's family was having breakfast, and Fang Yun greeted with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, you're still having breakfast." ”
"Yunzi is here, sit down and eat a little together." The aunt is an authentic rural woman, warm and hospitable, and she plans to help Fang Yun Chen porridge when she puts down the dishes and chopsticks.
Fang Yun hurriedly shook his hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't need it, I came here after breakfast at home, and I have something to do with my uncle." ”
"Yunzi, is there something wrong?" Fang Zhong put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Fang Yun curiously and asked, Fang Yun's temperament couldn't be clearer, just one word, lazy. If it is not necessary, ten days and half a month will not take a step out of that valley.
"Uncle, I just wanted to ask if there have been any snails in the village that seem to have increased a lot recently." Fang Yun was a little worried, when he had just passed by a villager's vegetable patch, Fang Yun paid a little attention and found a snail.
Fang Zhong frowned, and said with a worried face: "I was still looking for you and talking to you about this." Not only has it become more, it is almost a disaster, these days the big guys have to go to the vegetable field every day to catch it, but the next day there is another one, and there are more and more of them.
Not only snails, but also grasshoppers. It's evil, originally the grasshopper, as the old saying goes, the grasshopper after the autumn can't jump for a few days. But you see, it's winter now, and you can see grasshoppers jumping everywhere. ”
Fang Yun smiled bitterly, suddenly a little weak-hearted, the cause of this abnormal phenomenon, needless to say, is the spirit gathering array that he arranged, he didn't expect that the spirit gathering array could also change the local climate, the village is now like spring all year round, and many animals and insects have changed their living habits.
"Uncle, it can't go on like this, you have to think of a way, you can't let these pests bring disaster to the vegetables that the big guy has worked so hard to grow."
The rapid growth rate, the major flavors, five times the market price, the income of the villagers, vegetables and fruits account for a large part of the ratio, if the snails and grasshoppers are infested, these pests can be eaten overnight, the fruits and vegetables that the big guys have worked so hard to grow can be gnawed up.
Although Fang Yun hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had heard of the terrible locust plague in history, and after the black locusts flew over, the entire land was not a little green. As for the snail infestation, it has happened in the village before, and the entire vegetable patch was gnawed up overnight.
"Who's to say it's not, I'm so anxious that my hair is going to turn gray. The grasshoppers are okay, the fried grasshoppers taste good, and the tourists like to eat them, and they also pay for them with children. Even some people from the hotel came to buy a large number of grasshoppers, saying that the grasshoppers here taste much better than other places, and now the grasshoppers are almost caught by everyone. ”
Fang Yunle is happy, the most powerful people in this world are human beings, especially the Chinese people, since grasshoppers taste good and everyone loves to eat them, then there is really nothing to worry about, no matter how powerful the reproduction is, it will not become a climate, just like knowing, don't look at the village to know so much, there are very few people who can escape everyone's clutches.
"But it's a snail." Speaking of snails, Fang Zhong's brows were tangled together: "This thing is really hard to get, no one eats it at all." The main thing is that pesticides are not allowed, and it is up to the big guys to catch them by hand, and they have to catch when. ”
Fang Zhong smiled bitterly and continued: "Moreover, everyone's enthusiasm is not high, and some old people go to the vegetable field every morning to catch it. ”
Fang Yun understood what Fang Zhong meant, after Xu Jin's popularization, now everyone also knows what green vegetables are, when insect pests occurred in the past, pesticides were nothing, but now it is not possible, Xu in and out of five times the market price to buy vegetables, everyone can not play pesticides with a conscience.
But just by hand, when you have to catch it, it's not good to have time to do something. Even if some villagers worked hard to clean up their vegetable fields, but others did not clean up their vegetable fields, they still crawled over, so they worked hard to do all the day work.
