Chapter 416: The Cowman Who Eats Bugs
"Oh...... Dig me out, I haven't seen a kingfisher's nest yet. Hearing that the little thing that flew out just now was a kingfisher, Jiang Feng suddenly became energetic.
Not to mention him, several other tourists were also very interested, they had never seen kingfishers nesting before.
Liu Junhao shrugged his shoulders, "There's nothing to see, it's just a hole." ”
Kingfishers are rare now, but they were especially common when I was a child. These guys only live in the cave, which is close to the water's edge, and Liu Junhao has caught it a few times before. Catching a kingfisher is very simple and can be hooked directly with a branch. Generally, there are no hairs and no eyes, and a few have a few hairs, and at the same time, some fish bones or something will be hooked out of the hole. Other than that, there was nothing bare in the cave.
However, when fishing in the river, they still like to fish where there are kingfishers. Because kingfishers only eat finger-sized fish, where there are kingfishers, it proves that there are small fish, and there must be big fish if there are small fish
"It's not that simple, is it?" This hole is not deep, and Jiang Feng will dig it to the end with a few shovels.
disappointed them, the situation in the cave was no different from what Liu Junhao said, and they didn't even see a grass.
After two accidents, these tourists finally knew that digging rat holes was not so simple, and asked Liu Junhao to help find them.
There were many rat holes in the ditch, and in less than two minutes, he found four.
No one bothered, Liu Junhao swung the shovel at a fast speed, and dug directly to the rat warehouse in a few minutes. Of course, the rats didn't run, and all of them were bitten to death by the macular skin.
The grain stored by voles is far from being compared with that of mountain mice, and only a dozen catties of grain are dug up in a warehouse, mainly peanuts and soybeans.
By the time a few tourists had dug the remaining vole holes to the end, it was almost dark.
Good harvest...... Seventy or eighty pounds of grain were dug up in one afternoon. However, there was too much soil in the grain to eat, so I had to go back to feed the chickens and ducks.
Those tourists just wanted to have fun, and all the food they dug up was finally given to Liu Junhao.
Looking at most of the bags of grain, Liu Junhao felt a sense of accomplishment. The next day, he simply lifted the shovel and walked all over the mountains to find mouse holes, and he was idle at home, which could be regarded as generating income.
In a few days, he led the macular skin around the nearby ditch slopes, and dug out five or six bags of grain, enough for the chickens and ducks in the yard to eat for a winter.
However, Youzai's life soon stopped, and as soon as he returned home, the shovel had not been put down, and Liu Guangju's phone called, saying that he was asking him to go to the village for a meeting quickly.
Liu Junhao washed his hands and led Wukong towards the village. As soon as he walked to the edge of the puddle, he saw the hairy child waving to him from afar, "Uncle Xiaohao, come over and I'll tell you something." ”
This bear child had a wicked smile on his face, and Liu Junhao knew that there was nothing good.
The expressions of the little baby and the others next to him also confirmed his guess, and several guys sneered, their little faces flushed.
"Hairy boy, are you mischievous again, I'll go back and tell Teacher Zhang later......" Liu Junhao opened his mouth and reprimanded. This bear boy has never done anything good, and I don't know what he is thinking about now. I was anxious to wait for the meeting, how could I have time to mess around with him.
"It's a good thing for you to come here." The hairy child held a lit cigarette in his hand and shook it constantly.
"Fuck off, I'm leaving." Liu Junhao turned his head and saw the little baby looking at a pile of cow dung that had just come out of the oven not far away, and suddenly understood. The little guy fiddles in front of himself, and I don't know if this set is left over from his own play.
"Ah, what are you doing" The hairy boy saw that he was not fooled, so he could only shout loudly from behind.
"I'll just say no, Uncle Xiao Hao is so good," a child stepped forward and shouted.
Before he could get closer, the hairy boy suddenly put the cigarette in his hand and stuck it in the cow dung on the ground, "Run, I'm going to order firecrackers......"
As soon as he said this, the group of bear children immediately scattered and fled, and tried several times in a row, not knowing whether he was overjoyed or God was trying to play tricks on him, and this time when he was putting the cigarette into the cannon and putting it down, tragedy happened...... This guy actually lit the fuse, and even more tragically placed it right where the cannon paper touched.
"Tong" only heard a dull sound, and the egg-thick firecracker exploded.
Cow dung was scattered and splashed...... The hairy child realized the biggest truth in life: life is like a coffee table, with cups and utensils on it.
His hair, clothes, and shoes were covered in wet cow dung, and it was the kind that had just come out of the oven, and he couldn't wipe it off
A few bear children in the distance were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
When Liu Junhao arrived at Liu Guangju's house, the house was already full of people.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Guangju coughed twice, handed over the paper in his hand and said, "The income of our village this year has been calculated by me and the third child, and it is all on this piece of paper. ”
As soon as Er Mazi took it, he exclaimed: "So many, obedient"
"It's a lot" Liu Laosan leaned over and pointed to a few data above to explain, "Selling firewood chickens is the big one, raising thousands of eggs this year, this profit alone is more than 60,000 yuan, plus the money for tourists to charter land and rent hotels, a total of more than 100,000 yuan." The piece of paper was handed around in the hands of several people, all of whom were thinking about how much money each household could share. In fact, it is not much, and one household is three or four thousand yuan.
"Ahem," Liu Guangju watched everyone finish reading, then cleared his throat and began to say, "We can't divide all this money." First of all, we must support part of the primary school, in addition, the farmer's orchard at the head of our village will also buy fruit trees, and the chicken farm will be expanded next year to strive to raise 10,000 chickens...... "Uncle Guangju, you can tell how much money each household can share, right?" Liu Junqi urged. Everyone came today waiting for the money, and no one wanted to hear him talk about grand plans.
"We initially plan to divide 3,000 yuan per household, and the rest of the money will be used to buy fruit tree seedlings next spring. When the orchard bears fruit, the income should be higher. Liu Guangju saw that everyone didn't want to listen to his plan, so he could only briefly describe a few words, and then let everyone go back to discuss and discuss, and if there was no opinion, he would share the money as he said. Three thousand yuan is not much, but the people in the village are still very happy to get the money.
At the end of the meeting, Liu Junhao remembered about planting rape and hurriedly grabbed Ermazi.
"What, now plant rape...... Can you grow live? Are you a person who lacks roots and tendons in your brain, and you only remembered to plant after other people's rape plants came out after the moon seedlings came out. What are you doing earlier......" Er Mazi heard him ask for rapeseeds, and said that it was unreliable. At this time, if you want to grow rape, it is best to go to the street and buy some varieties with strong frost resistance.
Liu Junhao can only say that he is planting, he has just checked on the Internet, as long as the temperature is higher than 3C, rapeseed can germinate and sprout. It's really not good, I still have a stone lock to help.
Seeing that he insisted, Er Mazi went home and got more than a pound of rapeseed and sent it over, which was kept by his family for the New Year's oil extraction.
Other people's families have to use iron plows to plough the land, and Liu Junhao can't use it in the courtyard at all, so he can only sow it casually and replenish the seedlings when the spring comes.
After sowning back and forth in the backyard twice, there were still a lot of seeds left, and Liu Junhao simply got into the stone lock again and scattered them all on the sandy ground.
When the money was distributed to the villagers, the matter of planting fruit trees privately was also decided, and each family was required to contribute a labor to dig the tree nests.
This kind of hard work was originally a matter for young people, who knew that many tourists also asked to participate in it after hearing about it, and a considerable number of them were elderly people in Liujiagou.
These old men are all in their sixties, and most of them were sick when they first came to Liujiagou. But under the care of coarse tea and light rice, they are all healthy now.
They have nothing to do every day except play chess, books and newspapers, and in their own words, their bodies are almost idle, and they need to move their muscles and bones.
Liu Guangju saw that everyone was asking for sincerity, so he had to agree.
Other people's private land still grows some vegetables for their own consumption every year, and Liu Junhao's land has not been taken care of at all, and it has been completely deserted. There were a lot of miscellaneous trees growing in the middle of the ground now, and he needed to tidy them up as soon as possible to make room.
After going to the private land, he began to have a headache. Not counting the two poplar trees that were dying, there were more than a dozen other saplings, and all of them had to be removed. The tree has grown to three or four meters tall, and it is a pity to cut it down for firewood. However, my yard is full of fruit trees, and there is no place to spare.
He had no choice but to go back to the village and ask who needed to dig it up directly. I didn't know that if I asked around the village, there was no one who cared about these miscellaneous trees.
There is really no market for some common saplings in rural areas, mainly because they have a strong reproductive ability. Take the metrical tree as an example, and the fruit it bears is very popular with birds. The seeds are digested in the bird's belly and then fall to the ground along the bird droppings, where a large nest of lycium trees is sure to emerge the following year.
However, this kind of tree is easy to attract insects, except for firewood burning has no other role at all, rural people see their own houses grow this kind of tree is directly cut down.
Helpless, Liu Junhao could only find a few people to help cut down trees.
When the poplar tree was brought down, he was about to drag it home to dry and burn the fire, but was stopped by a tourist.
"Xiao Hao, don't panic, wait until I get the bugs out of the tree." The man pointed to the wormholes in the poplar tree and said, "I guess there are a lot of bugs in it, so I just got it back and fried it." ”
"What......" A few people who helped thought they had heard the errand.
"Fried and eaten, haven't you eaten it?"
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, and when they looked at each other again, they were a little worried.
This man doesn't know where he is, what kind of work does he do? There is such a taste.
Liu Junhao was really curious, most people felt disgusted when they saw insects, but they didn't see that he dared to eat them.
"Hehe, we all have a hobby of eating bugs. Last time, I caught more than 20 of them on the neem tree and fried them in oil, and my daughter-in-law and I just tasted two bites, and our son ate all the insects on a plate. ”
Hearing what this person said so energetically, Liu Junhao was only surprised but admired. To say that eating bee pupae is understandable, but looking at the white flower worm, he really doesn't have the courage to swallow.
Under the command of the other party, everyone threw grass stalks, smoked them, and finally used wind oil essence. After working for most of the day, I finally drove out those white and tender insects.
"Actually, it's nothing, these are all high protein, it's delicious to fry in oil, or I'll send you some when it's fried at noon."
"Forget it, I can't afford it," Liu Junhao waved his hand again and again, just looking at things, he felt so cautious, how dare he eat it.
