Chapter 480: The mouse eats walnuts

The meeting was short-lived, adjourning after only half an hour. Liu Junhao went out to find Zhang Qian and the others by the weir pond, but found that she and Su Nana were standing behind Liu Guang's house looking at the mulberry tree, while Zhou Wei was busy picking mulberries on the tree.

These mulberry trees belong to the late-maturing type, and now the mulberries have just turned red, Liu Junhao walked over and tasted one, and there were some sour teeth.

Suna picked up a lot of it in her hand, and she was eating it with relish. Zhang Qian wanted to eat it, but the day before yesterday, Zhang's mother just said that mothers can't eat mulberries, so they can only be greedy.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Junhao led them to the river beach to see the scenery.

Now along the banks of the river is a sea of flowers, full of colorful and diverse wildflowers. Su Nana's camera kept filming at the flowers, while Zhang Qian set her eyes on the butterflies in the flowers.

"Zhang Qian, what's the name of this flower?" Taking a few photos, Su Nana found a very peculiar little red flower, and hurriedly dragged one over to ask.

"I don't know, you ask my husband" Zhang Qian looked at her and found that she didn't know her at all.

"This grass is called lantern barley, also called pitcher plant, and it can eat insects." This grass blooms a bit like a small lantern with a few petals around it. When the flowers bloom, they emit a smell that is difficult for people to smell. This smell can be insects flying down, if there are insects accidentally falling into the heart of the flower, it will be wiped out. No matter how hard the worm tries, it will be difficult to crawl out again. When exhausted, the petals will automatically close and slowly "eat" the unlucky little insects.

Barley is generally grown in crop fields and is rarely found near ditches. The daughter-in-law has been in Liujiagou for three years, and the number of times she has been in the field is limited, so it is normal not to know her.

"This is ......," the few people looked at the small plant in amazement. If you want to say that this grass is famous enough, basically everyone knows it.

"I know that you have to admit your mistakes, don't get me wrong, this is different from the kind of 'pitcher plant' sold in the city." Liu Junhao explained with a smile. He also confused the two plants earlier, but later found out that they were not the same plant at all. Later, I wanted to look up the scientific name of the lantern barley, and when I entered these three words, I searched and found that it was a common weedic acid package in Liujiagou, which did not match the plant at all.

"In this way, I don't know how effective it is in catching mosquitoes......" Zhang Qian immediately thought of cultivating this plant to sell, and immediately dispelled the idea. The main reason is that this grass is too common, and even the flowers bloom a little, and it is estimated that few people buy it from the appearance alone.

"I don't know about this," Liu Junhao shook his head and replied, he wouldn't deliberately get a few grasses back for experiments.

"We can try it back, and if it works, we can wait for next year to grow more, so that there will be no mosquitoes in the yard." Zhang Qian opened her mouth to suggest.

"yes, I didn't think of that." Hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Liu Junhao's eyes lit up. I've been using this thing as a weed, but I fell into inertial thinking and never thought about waste utilization.

In the afternoon, it was cool on the river beach, and several people had no intention of going back, so they turned their heads and sat under the trees to enjoy the coolness.

In the puddle under the shade of the willow tree, there were many small white fish, flower loach, gourd fish and small fish that could not be named.

Zhou Wei kept uncovering the stones in the water and catching water mole crickets and shrimp from below. This thing is similar to crayfish, which is now rare. They usually hide under the rocks in groups of three or five, gently moving away the pebbles, and rarely miss. When the cricket shrimp escapes in the water, it is backwards by paddling with its tail, and it is very easy to catch. But beware of its clips, it hurts to clamp them. This thing is boiled in a pot with a little salt and eaten, and it tastes good.

Liu Junhao used to catch him often, but now he is not interested.

Zhou Wei's catching method is too slow, they catch water mole crickets and crickets when they are children, and they usually get some chicken blood and pour it in shallow water. Within five minutes, the nearby water mole crays and shrimp came one after another. At this time, you can catch it with a net, and you can catch a small half bucket at a time.

But people just want to have fun, and Liu Junhao didn't make any suggestions.

At seven o'clock, when the sun was about to set, Zhang Qian suggested that everyone go home.

At this time, a few touches of sunset had risen in the western sky, and several cattle herders also drove the cattle down the mountain. The old scalper shook his head as he walked, and the bells jingled. Sheep enter the pen, chickens and ducks enter the nest, and cooking smoke rises in the setting sun.

In the grass, the sound of frogs and the fragrance of lotus flowers.

Su Nana sat under the door of the building and stretched out and sighed, "The more you look at your days, the more enviable they become, it's like a fairy, I don't want to go to work when I live here." The more times she went to Liujiagou, the more comfortable she felt that Zhang Qian was living. It's still good in the countryside, life is simple, and there are not so many intrigues. Live your own life behind closed doors, you can live it any way.

"Hehe, if you think it's good, stay for a few more days." Zhang Qian said a word, and casually threw a walnut to the mouse not far away.

It has been five or six months since the birth of this litter of clouded leopards, but the mother clouded leopards still show no signs of leaving, and take the children to the mountains and forests every day to hunt and learn hunting skills.

At first, they were only on the outskirts of the mountains, but soon they went deep into the forests, and some tourists even photographed them in the mountains more than a dozen miles away.

Zhang Qian was still afraid that they would not come back, but she slowly got used to it. This guy hunts in the mountains, and the route gets farther and farther, sometimes even returning once in two or three days.

The mouse seems to be an exception, and it occasionally goes out with the mother clouded leopard to find food, but most of the time it is in the yard looking for food.

The mouse likes to eat meat, especially meat and bones, this Liu Junhao already knew. The little guy likes to go to the kennel to find bones to eat when he is idle, and on several occasions secretly takes away the bones hidden by the little skin. Xiaopi basically ignored this and didn't give this guy general knowledge.

The mouse eats nuts, or Xiao Tongtong discovered it by chance. A few days ago, Tongtong and Haoyu came to Liujiagou for Sunday, and after eating, Liu Junhao made a plate of walnuts for the two children as snacks.

Tongtong accidentally dropped one of the pecans while taking them, and the bones rolled on the ground. She was about to lean over to pick it up when the mouse flew forward and pressed it. This little thing first sniffs with its nose, then licks it with its tongue a few times, and then swallows the pecan directly into its mouth.

They thought that the clouded leopard couldn't bite, but who knew that they only heard a click, as if they were gnawing meat bones, and directly bit the pecans, then spit them on the ground, licked the walnut meat into their mouths with their pink little tongues, and chewed them with relish.

After eating a few times, the mouse snuck on the ground for a while, swallowed the walnut shell back into its mouth, bit it with its teeth, and then spit it on the ground...... It wasn't until he ate the walnut meat that he raised his head and yelled at Tongtong.

The two little guys hurriedly called Zhang Qian to come over and see the strange as if they had discovered a new world.

After seeing it, the daughter-in-law also felt novel, and deliberately threw a few peanuts to test. The mouse was not polite, and took it directly into its mouth and bit it, and quickly ate all the peanuts on the ground.
