Chapter 442: Sparrow Catching Experience Exchange Meeting

"My husband doesn't seem to see Qingzhuang begging for food today?" When it was almost dark, Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned her Qingzhuang.

But no, after listening to his daughter-in-law, Liu Junhao thought of those big guys. Usually just open the door in the morning, they croaked around to eat, the snow has been heavy in the past two days, but it is rare to see Qingzhuang in the yard, today there is not even a shadow of the day.

Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly picked up a shovel to shovel the snow by the chicken coop. I just cleared the snow on the west side of the yard, and I didn't care about the chicken coop for a while.

When I got to the chicken coop, I found that Qingzhuang was all crowded inside to keep each other warm, and there didn't seem to be any problems. It's just that it's cold outside, and they don't even have the idea of getting out.

"Husband, why don't you go to the backyard to dig some fish and feed Qingzhuang?" Zhang Qian said worriedly. These Qingzhuang haven't eaten for a day, so don't be hungry.

"Okay," Liu Junhao nodded, turned around and went to the backyard.

He was also afraid that Qingzhuang would starve to death, but he wouldn't do such a thing as digging ice and catching fish, so he still had to get some trouble directly from the stone lock, anyway, there were so many fish there that he couldn't eat them at all.

The ice outside is more than a meter thick, and there is only a thin layer in the stone lock, especially the pond where the spring is located is only a thin layer, and the temperature near the spring is still about ten degrees. The black pressed fish bodies are all piled up nearby, and it is too easy to catch fish.

As soon as Liu Junhao entered the stone lock, several swiftlets hovering in the air immediately flew over. As soon as the outside froze, they were transferred to stone locks by their owners, so they were not affected by the cold weather. But after staying in it for a long time, the fluff becomes smoother and smoother.

He just shoveled around the spring with a shovel for a few minutes, and he got sixty or seventy crucian carp shells, each weighing half a catty. There are forty or fifty Qingzhuang ducks raised in the yard, which should be enough for them to eat.

The temperature difference was too great, and these crucian carp shells were still alive and kicking in the stone locks, and they were completely frozen and hard in less than five minutes after they were outside.

Of course, in order not to arouse his wife's suspicion, Liu Junhao also deliberately used a shovel to chisel a large piece of ice in the ditch, and then carried the bucket back to the front yard.

As soon as he threw the crucian carp shell into the snow, he whistled, and Qingzhuang began to run out in the wind, surrounding the ground and grabbing it.

In less than two minutes, the crucian carp shells were eaten up. At the end, there were many people who stretched out their heads and screamed around Liu Junhao. Looking like that, it was obvious that I didn't grab it just now.

No, I think I just got a surplus of food.

Liu Junhao was wondering here, but Zhang Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, check if the Qingzhuang outside is also hiding in the chicken coop, why are there so many ......?"

Liu Junhao counted it simply, but no, not to mention the water ducks, there are more than sixty Qingzhuang in this courtyard alone, and they must have been those who sneaked in outside the cold weather.

All the people who came were guests, and there was no way, so he could only re-enter the stone lock and catch hundreds of crucian carp shells, and finally shut up these guys.

After feeding the Qingzhuang in the courtyard, Liu Junhao was worried about those in the woods, so he hurriedly said hello to his daughter-in-law and led Xiaopi into the forest to watch.

It is said that as the population of Qingzhuang increases, these guys become more and more domineering, and completely regard the entire forest as their own territory. Strangers are usually not allowed into the forest at all, and as soon as someone approaches, they immediately croaked in their throats. If the people who come continue to move forward, they will rush up and peck at them.

However, they were very relieved of Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian, who had never been pecked when they entered the woods.

It's just that in order not to disturb their lives, the two of them rarely go in.

Although the artemisia in the forest was dragged by Liu Junhao once, there was enough fertilizer in the forest, so it didn't take long for the newly grown artemisia to be more than half a person deep. Now large swaths of artemisia grass are overwhelmed by the snow, and the roots just form snow holes, providing a hiding place for Qingzhuang.

Liu Junhao walked all the way through the heavy snow, and from time to time he could see the tail of Qingzhuang half-exposed. The creatures were probably completely frozen, and didn't move at the sound of footsteps approaching.

Seeing these waterfowl huddled in the grass nest and shivering, Liu Junhao grabbed a few casually, only to find that many Qingzhuang's legs had been frozen and rotten. The Qingzhuang in his yard is a little more resistant, at least there is no frostbite.

He touched Qingzhuang's mouth, it was all empty, and it was obvious that he hadn't eaten food for a few days. If this continues, it is estimated that even if the Qingzhuang in the woods can resist the severe cold, at least a large number will starve to death.

Liu Junhao gritted his teeth and simply caught these guys out and received them in the stone lock. In the past, I only knew that the number of waterbirds in the woods was increasing, but there was no way to count the specific number, but this time it was convenient for Liu Junhao to count. With the help of Little Pi, he walked back and forth through the woods a dozen times, catching all the waterfowl hiding in the grass nests.

According to statistics, there are more than 80 in Qingzhuang, more than 40 water ducks, and some miscellaneous water birds such as egrets and cormorants.

The waterfowl had just been caught in the stone locks, a little dazed, but they quickly came to their senses. One by one, they fluttered their wings and shouted happily around the pond, and swarmed to the edge of the pool. The pond is filled with a myriad of fish that can be caught with little effort.

These guys are probably hungry and look crazy in the water, no different from bandits. In less than ten minutes, there was a large area of fish around the spring, which made Liu Junhao look very painful. They don't catch worthless fish like themselves, but yellow eels and loaches together.

Seeing that a few well-fed guys were about to fly into the seedling pool, Liu Junhao hurriedly rushed over to drive them away. At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, the stone chicken and baby fish fry in the stone lock had hibernated, otherwise according to their way of eating, it is estimated that the baby fish fry and stone chicken would not escape.

When the waterfowl had almost eaten, Liu Junhao caught them out of the stone lock again, leaving only those who were frostbitten to recuperate inside.

With so much food in the stone lock, many waterfowl didn't want to leave at all, and when Liu Junhao came to him, he immediately flapped his wings and flapped his wings to escape. However, they didn't know that the stone lock space was controlled by Liu Junhao, and it didn't take much effort to catch the stone lock.

After dealing with the matter of Qingzhuang, Liu Junhao thought about the otter again, and when he returned to the yard, he deliberately ran to the entrance of the cave and called twice, and Baoyu's oily and shiny head immediately appeared from the hole, and there was still half a crucian carp in his mouth.

These guys should have stored food in the cave early, seeing that they didn't have to worry about themselves at all, Liu Junhao finally calmed down and began to prepare dinner.

I was thirsty for eating fried sparrows at noon for an afternoon, so Liu Junhao was ready to make a light one at night. He went to his backyard and dragged two handfuls of rape seedlings, intending to stir-fry a rapeseed.

The rape is now just about ten centimeters tall, and it is the time when it is fresh, and the leaves are crisp and fresh, and it is very appetizing just to look at.

Just washed the dishes, and before she started to cut them, Zhang Qian felt sorry for her husband who was busy all afternoon, so she hurriedly pulled him to the living room and went into the kitchen by herself.

After stir-frying, it tasted crispy, and the two of them were full of interest in eating, and even Wukong, who has always been a picky eater, squeaked and raised the bowl for the owner to add rice to it.

Liu Junhao didn't have the heart to toss the snow sculptures, and the tourists who were stranded in Liujiagou were different, anyway, they couldn't go back to the city for the time being, so they simply had fun in Liujiagou. A few people were idle and had nothing to discuss, and it took four days to make seven or eight unique snow sculptures by the weir pond.

The days of the past few days have been very simple, getting up every day to shovel snow in the yard, and then guarding the brazier with his daughter-in-law to roast the fire. At noon, they got up to cook and eat, and in the afternoon the two continued to hide in the house.

If it weren't for Zhang Qian's online reading of those posts, the two wouldn't have known that there was such a big movement in the village.

Looking at the snow sculptures more than two meters high, Liu Junhao could only silently muttered in his heart that these people were really patient. It's understandable to build a snowman or something, and it's a lot of energy to be carved like this, and it's really painful.

Zhang Qian admired these snow sculptures very much, and insisted on asking her husband to take a few photos as a souvenir. Liu Junhao didn't want to go out, but he was urged by his daughter-in-law for a long time, so he could only put on thick clothes and take a camera to go out.

Before I got to the edge of the weir pond, I heard a voice suddenly shouting behind me, "Liu Junhao, don't go forward."

Startled, he hurriedly turned his head to look to the side and saw several tourists behind the straw stacks.

"What's wrong?" Liu Junhao walked over and asked.

"We're catching sparrows," one tourist replied in a whisper, pointing to a bamboo sieve a few meters away, "I just pulled it twice, and the sparrows don't fly inside."

"Hehe, this method will catch you once or twice, but it won't work if you have too many times, so you'd better change places." Liu Junhao opened his mouth to suggest. Since Mr. Lu Xun wrote this method into the article, everyone knows about catching birds with bamboo sieves.

"We used to use spirits to soak grain and get drunk sparrows, and it's better than this." Dr. Wang next to him also interjected.

"Well, it's really good to catch sparrows with drunken food," Liu Junhao nodded in response, "But now the wine we drink is generally low, and drunken birds are not good." ”

Drunken birds with food is also a common method when they are young, and the first thing to do is to prepare some drunken food.

The preparation of drunken food is very simple, it is to soak wheat in spirits for a few days, and then take it out to dry, this is drunken food, and when it snows, it is very good to use it to anesthetize the birds looking for food.

This method is more direct than using a bamboo sieve to set up a mechanism, just sprinkle the drunken food on the ground, and people just need to hide from a distance and watch.

The sparrow has been hungry for a few days, and has already been hungry for food, and when it sees food on the ground, it will immediately swarm down and grab it, and soon it will become swaying, staggering, and drunk one after another. At this time, as long as you go over and clean up the battlefield, those little guys can't fly away even if they want to fly when they see people coming.

In this way, you can catch not only sparrows, but also birds such as pheasants and turtle doves.

"It's okay, I think this method will do," although Liu Junhao said it was true, but the tourist still didn't believe it. As a result, he stood behind the straw stack and waited for half an hour, but not a single sparrow took the bait
