Chapter 20 Selling Yellow Eels
The word monkey wine suddenly popped up in his mind, and he also heard the old people in the village say that the monkeys in the mountains like to ferment the fruits that many monkeys like to eat, such as mountain grapes, hawthorns, wild wolfberries, etc., and the wine produced is called monkey wine.
The monkey is particularly clever, and the wine produced is better than that made by people, but the monkey wine is particularly difficult to find and hard to find, and it is generally brewed in the cave halfway up the mountainside, and only the man who goes up the mountain to collect medicine only finds it once in a while.
He didn't expect his luck to be so good, and suddenly came to the interest, and he could see that there was a lot of monkey wine in this tree hole, fortunately he took a few large plastic bags when he came, which was originally intended to be loaded with mountain goods, and now it came in handy, he poured two plastic bags in a row, and it was enough to let go of his hand with satisfaction.
On the way back, I found a fallen wolfberry tree, perhaps because it had rained a few days ago, a large fungus grew on the shady side of the dry wolfberry tree, Liu Junhao didn't have time to do it, the soft and tender black fungus was robbed by this group of bear children for a while, and there was already a bare trunk left.
Before I got home, I saw an off-road vehicle parked at the door of his house, Liu Guangju accompanied the two of them to squat under the big tree in front of his house to enjoy the cool, but after a closer look, it was Boss Wang and an old man who also wore glasses, and it seemed that they had come to buy their old turtle.
"Xiao Hao, you are back, Boss Wang has been waiting for you for a long time" Liu Guangju shouted loudly when he saw him.
The other two people also stood up when they heard the sound, Liu Junhao hurriedly apologized, saying that he had gone to the mountain, and after speaking, he took out the key to open the door, let a few people go to the yard, and then moved a few chairs and put them under the big tree.
Seeing the sweat on the heads of the three people, he remembered that he had just made monkey wine, so he ran to the kitchen and took a few bowls, and one of them poured a bowl, and the rich mellow fragrance immediately spread out.
"What kind of wine is this?!" A few people smacked their lips after drinking it, and the taste of this wine was particularly pure, full of aroma.
"Oh, I just got monkey wine from the mountains with those furry kids"
"Monkey wine?!" It was the first time that the old man and Boss Wang had heard of it.
"Holy shit, this is monkey wine?" Liu Guangju was also surprised, and then he explained to the two city people what monkey wine was.
At this time, Xiaopi was also pulling Liu Junhao's trouser leg under the table and screaming, and it seemed that he was also interested in this monkey wine.
was a little annoyed by its call, and this time he got the monkey wine Xiaopi is also a hero, Liu Junhao took a broken bowl and poured half a bowl of monkey wine.
Xiao Pi Bar Clicky with his tongue to add a clean light, after drinking and screaming, people have to laugh, Liu Junhao was helpless, had to give it a small half bowl, who knew that this was the opposite to something happened, Xiao Pi was drunk, twisted and chased the lamb and rabbit in the yard, the chasing lamb bleated, and finally hid in the sheepfold and did not dare to come out.
After being introduced by Boss Wang, Liu Junhao learned that the old man surnamed Zhao had a great background, and he turned out to be a retired professor of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who specialized in the cultivation of fruit trees, and liked to engage in some aquaculture and other topics in his spare time.
He and Wang Shengli's father are old friends, so often let Wang Shengli collect some fish, this time I heard that he found a peculiar old turtle and a thirty or forty pounds of fire in Daqingshan, immediately came to the interest, let Wang Shengli drive himself to Daqingshan.
Wang Shengli had always been thinking about the old turtle, and immediately drove Professor Zhao over, seeing that the professor of a provincial city ran so far to see an old turtle, Liu Junhao was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly entered the house, saying that he was blasting the old turtle out, but in fact, he took the old turtle out of the spring.
"Huh" Professor Zhao was also amazed when he saw this old turtle with a big bowl, and immediately became interested, and wanted to conduct some research on this old turtle, saying that this old turtle may have mutated.
However, he studied for a long time and did not come up with a reason, so he had to ask Wang Shengli to take out his camera and take a few photos, ready to go back to let his colleagues who specialize in aquaculture take a look.
Of course, at noon, he had dinner at Liu Junhao's house, and before the meal, he specially led Wang Shengli to look at the yellow eel he raised, which was no different from ordinary yellow eel, but it was a little fatter, so Wang Shengli didn't care.
Lunch is relatively simple, he caught three small half-catty yellow eels, and secretly got a few fish from the spring, and then cleaned up and then matched with the melons, fruits and vegetables in his yard, so he picked up four dishes, although it is not good from the appearance, but each dish is packed in a porcelain pot, the amount is particularly sufficient, and the rural people can really see the general.
Wang Shengli was still a little disdainful at first, he was engaged in aquatic products every day, and he had never eaten anything, just now I heard Liu Junhao praise his yellow eel as rare in the sky and rare in the ground, and he was very disapproving.
As a result, I only ate a bite, I felt that my previous aquatic products were sold in vain, I used to hear people say, Xiaoxia yellow eel race ginseng, he has been engaged in aquatic products for more than ten years and did not believe, but this time I believed, this yellow eel tastes soft and boneless, chewing in the mouth is particularly rotten, soft but slippery, refreshing and fragrant, take a bite of him immediately decided to wrap the yellow eel in Liu Junhao's yard.
Of course, those farmhouse vegetables that are usually very common also taste unique, plus the monkey wine that Liu Junhao bought, the guests and hosts enjoyed the meal, especially Professor Zhao, although he has been engaged in fruit tree cultivation technology all his life and often stays in the countryside, but it is the first time to see such a poetic yard.
Looking at the green trees in Liu Junhao's yard, the arm-long beans are crisp and hung all over the shelves, the branches of the big tomatoes are broken, and there are green cabbage and purple eggplants...... Everything was full of farmhouse fun, and he liked it so much that he even had the idea of staying here and doing research.
He has been engaged in research all his life, even if he is retired, he can't be idle, and recently he is working on a small farm orchard to increase income, that is, to study some fruit trees with high added value and can be planted intensively, and seeing that the backyard of Liu Junhao's house is completely deserted, he suddenly became interested and decided to live in the countryside for a while.
Wang Shengli didn't go back that night, he called his friend to drive the aquatic product truck over, ready to buy Liu Junhao's yellow eel.
Early the next morning, Professor Zhao got up to play Tai Chi in the yard, he was not very good when he was old, and his sleep quality was very poor, but last night he slept very soundly, and in the morning, the mountain breeze was refreshing, and the lamb and puppy kept barking in the yard, and those unknown birds jumped between the branches, so that his heart was unconsciously comfortable, and he liked it even more, and even had the idea of caring for the elderly here......
At one o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wang Shengli called the aquatic product truck drove into the village, and provoked a group of people to watch, and the hairy child led a large group of bear children to jump into the pool to catch the yellow eel, don't look at the slippery autumn swim in the water very fast, but this group of bear children have been mixed in the water since childhood, so they are all masters when they catch the yellow eel, plus the density of the yellow eel in the water is large, pick up the net pocket and quickly sweep in the water, generally can catch one or two.
After a morning's work, I grabbed almost 200 catties, and the remaining yellow eels became much more clever, and they all got into the hole, and there was no way to catch them, so that a group of bear children stopped.
Because of the high quality of the yellow eel, and Wang Shengli wanted to do business for a long time, he gave a relatively high price of 30 yuan a catty, which made the rural people who watched all morning breathe a breath of cool air, and the work was sold for more than 5,000 yuan in a while, which is much better than farming.
Liu Junhao was naturally happy to sell so much money, and gave the bear children who helped in the morning ten yuan for hard work, which made this group of children jump and scream excitedly.
