Chapter 493: Smoked Flies
"No, no, it was the little baby whose father asked us to cut it, saying that it was to smoke flies?" The hairy child grinned in pain and hurriedly explained.
"With this smoked fly, you lied to me, right?" It's true that wild celery is poisonous, but I haven't heard of anyone getting smoked flies.
Liu Junhao has a deep memory of this thing, and when he was a child, he didn't like to eat for a while, and adults said that he had "food qi", which is now anorexia.
At that time, Old Man Liu didn't know where to get a home remedy: wrapping wild celery around the base of his thumb, which was said to cure food qi.
So the old man dug up a large ball of wild celery from the outside and pounded it, and wrapped it for him before going to bed. Liu Junhao cried all night, only feeling that his palms were hot and painful. When I opened the gauze the next morning, I found that the wild celery had burned the skin and even a large piece of the meat.
Old man Liu was startled and hurriedly sent his grandson to the hospital. After hearing the cause of the injury, the doctor directly accused him of fooling around, saying that wild celery was poison and could not be used indiscriminately, and at the end of the day, Liu Junhao should be sent to the ward for infusion.
Liu Junhao cried and didn't let him, and in the end, it was Old Man Liu who bought a few yuan of fried buns to coax him.
"We don't know, my dad let me cut it" The little baby went up the mountain purely for fun. When they heard that Liu Junhao was going to dig up the dog's head, they immediately became interested and helped dig it.
In half an hour's effort, they dug half a basket for Liu Junhao and them.
Going down the mountain and going home, Liu Junhao hadn't taken a breath here, and someone in the village had already called to send a few catties of yellow eel.
He was thinking of watching the excitement with Xiaowazi and others, and immediately brought a small half bucket of yellow eel and sent it over.
There are two hairy wolfberry trees several zhang high in front of the big baby's house, in previous years, this hairy wolfberry tree was half-dead, and a few leaves were sparsely stretched on the top. If it weren't for the fear of sawing down and smashing into the houses on both sides, the eldest baby would have burned these two trees as firewood.
I don't know what's going on this year, the two trees are dead in spring, and they grow unusually luxuriantly, and the hairy wolf's eggs are surprisingly numerous, and the weight almost bends the branches. For this reason, it also attracts many tourists to take pictures under the tree.
At this time, the eggs become red, attracting countless flies and black beetles to settle down on it. At noon, you can hear the buzzing sound far away from Bazhang, and the muddy wolf tree has almost become a garbage dump, and it is dirty everywhere, and it doesn't work for the big baby to sweep it several times a day.
There are so many flies that the big baby's family has also suffered seedlings. There are flies in the house all day long, and the sticky fly paper I bought can be full of sticky for half a day, but there are still flies.
Helplessly, he came up with a trick to smoke flies, and planned to have a war of annihilation to completely eliminate these annoying things.
Liu Junhao was still more than ten meters away from the tree, and he heard a buzzing sound coming constantly, as if a meeting of 10,000 people was held.
He stood under the tree and looked up, and saw a branch covered with black beetles, and even the branch was bent.
This tree is too tall to go up and spray, so you can only smoke it, but does this work? Liu Junhao asked about the big baby in confusion.
The smoke should be smoked at least a few feet high, and the top has dispersed seventy-seven-eighty-eight. Besides, those flies are not dead things, they will definitely fly away if they are really smoked.
"Don't worry, it works. In the past, there was a big toilet in our village, and in the summer, the toilet was full of flies and maggots, which was very disgusting. But as long as you get some wild celery leaves and throw them in the toilet pit and soak them for half a day, you can poison all the flies and maggots, which is better than pesticides. "The big baby has experience with this, and he directs a group of bear children to prepare wild celery and then make them stand back.
"Xiao Hao, help me add wild celery for a while, the two of us will change shifts, one person can't stand it" In the end, the big baby got him a mask and put it on.
Liu Junhao quickly knew what it meant for a person to be unbearable, and he just added a few handfuls of wild celery to it, and immediately smoke billowed out. Two or three meters away, I still felt a spicy smell rushing into my nostrils, the mask didn't work at all, and it was better to sneeze a few times.
The two hurriedly piled up the wild celery, and when they retreated seven or eight meters away to breathe fresh air, they immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.
This is true of people, not to mention flies in trees. Soon there was a buzzing sound, and all the flies on the trees were tossed, and the whole swarm of flies was fluttering...... It was as if countless bombers were circling overhead, and then they were falling down, as if it were raining lightly.
"Look what's going on in the trees?" The hairy child exclaimed, turning everyone's attention from the underground to the trees.
I saw several milky white insects drilled out of a thumb-thick hole halfway up the tree, each with the thickness of a little finger. The bugs lined up and crawled towards the treetops in panic.
"That's the larva of the Heavenly Cow," Liu Junhao recognized. This thing mainly grows in the trunk of the tree, as long as you see a black-brown hole on the trunk or a cavity with sawdust, there is a good chance that the larvae of the longhorn beetle drilled it.
Don't look at this thing as inconspicuous, but it has a very strong vitality, and you won't starve to death even if you stay in a dry tree trunk. In the countryside, longhorn beetles often emerge from wooden furniture that has been used for more than ten years, which is the reason for the sudden emergence of longhorn beetle larvae.
I didn't expect this wild celery to be so powerful that I smoked them out too.
What surprised them even more was still behind, I thought that there were more than a dozen longhorn larvae in the trunk of the tree was already amazing, who knew that the white insects in the hole climbed more and more, and finally there were seventy or eighty, and the white brushes fled around on the trunk, which was very terrifying.
It's no wonder that these two medlar trees are half dead, and looking like that, all their trunks have been hollowed out by insects.
People often say that "cedar windows, poplar doors, and citrus trees burn braziers in winter", just look at so many cow larvae, you know that these two citric trees really have no other role than burning fire.
However, the pests did not escape their death, and soon fell down the tree.
smoked for half an hour, until the wild celery on the hard wood was burned, and the big baby got two pots of water to extinguish the fire.
Good guy, I don't know if I don't smoke, I'm scared.
The results have been quite fruitful...... A large number of insects fell on the ground under the hairy wolf tree. Flies, black beetles, known beetles, longhorn beetles, caterpillars, etc., in short, the common pests in the countryside are all here.
The little babies happily cleaned up with brooms, and after a while they swept the small half-snakeskin bag.
"Uncle Xiaohao, these are brought to your house to feed the yellow eel." The hairy boy said as he handed over the snakeskin bag.
"You kid want to poison my yellow eel," Liu Junhao touched his head. Wild celery is so toxic that although it is not direct contact, the yellow eel will turn over when eaten ten times. Even if it's okay, he doesn't dare to feed it, what if someone has a problem eating yellow eel.
"Little Haoye, Xiao Haoye, you see my dad fried me to eat." I don't know when, the bear child from Liu Qiyong's family also ran over, still holding a small porcelain bowl in his hand. This little guy likes Wukong very much and often goes to his house to play, so he is very familiar with Liu Junhao.
"Can you give me one?" Liu Junhao laughed and amused.
"Hmm......" said the little guy who hurriedly covered the bowl with his paws and turned his back behind him, "No, no"
"If you don't give me food, you won't give you candy next time you come to my house." Liu Junhao opened his mouth to threaten.
"That'...... Here you go," the little guy said, handed it over, and then added, "You pretend to take a bite." ”
"Get out" This guy is more stingy than his old man, I don't know who can teach him, Liu Junhao waved his hand extremely depressed and asked him to leave.
"Kirin, there's a hole in the bottom of the bowl," the hairy boy came over and pointed to the bottom of his bowl and exclaimed.
The little guy believed it and hurriedly turned the bowl over to check, but the fried knowledge in the small bowl was scattered all over the ground, and several greedy roosters immediately rushed up and pecked away.
"Wow" the little guy squatted on the ground and cried, then picked up the bowl and ran home to complain.
"You bear kid, you're going to fool around." Liu Junhao reprimanded him with a smile and laughter, hugged the little unicorn and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll give you candy." ”
If there is a hole in the bottom of the bowl, I believe that many people have experienced it when they were young, and only simple children will believe it. But after this time, I believe that the little guy will be much smarter in the future.
Liu Junhao bought two handfuls of fruit candy for the little unicorn, and he burst into tears and laughed, and ran to the middle of the child to show off.
The aunt and her family stayed overnight in Liujiagou, and after eating at noon, they shouted that they wanted to take the car home. Liu Junhao knew that they still had to go to work, so he didn't keep too much, but just went to the garden to pick a few large flower skins and get some soil honey to piggyback. In addition, Zhang Qian's aunt likes to drink tea, so Liu Junhao got a pound of tea Shuo and asked him to take it back.
This tea is everywhere in Liujiagou, and Liu Junhao originally had no idea of planting. In the autumn of last year, a tourist who came to buy yellow eels saw that there was sun in his yard, so he said that he wanted some, and after he went back, he even greeted him on the Internet, saying that he would let him buy more in the coming year, and then he would buy it himself.
Anyway, it didn't take much trouble, Liu Junhao dragged half a catty of seeds on the hillside in the autumn, and sprinkled it around the courtyard wall and backyard and other idle places in the spring, and threw all the remaining ones into the stone lock.
Needless to say, Liu Junhao only sprinkled a few zhang of a square piece, and the result was extremely lush. Ji Laitian can cut a stubble, and there is a big bamboo basket at a time. plus those in the backyard, in the past two or three months, I have cut several stubbles in a row, and I have sunburned twenty or thirty catties.
In this case, two stubbles can be harvested before the autumn harvest.
However, Chashuo didn't have much left in his family, and some people continued to buy it these days, and Liu Junhao sold it half at a price of three yuan per catty. The main reason is that he doesn't see much of the little money in his eyes now, so he regards it as a favor.
As for those who ordered, most of them were regular customers, and Liu Junhao naturally sold them at a low price, or matched them when buying other things.
In other words, Liu Junhao's online store has become famous and very high, and there has not been a bad review so far.
This made the two of them feel a little complacent...... Although the village is now connected to the Internet, several more online stores have opened one after another. But those old customers are at ease with his things, and they will leave messages on the Internet when they want to order souvenirs.
