Chapter 281: Making Money

These days, a lot of water ducks have been sold one after another, and now there are only more than 20 left, Liu Junhao originally did not plan to sell them again, but there are only some things in the village that need to be said in advance, his duck is a wild duck, but it can fly. Therefore, after getting it back, you should cut off the wings and spread them when they are ripe, otherwise you will definitely fly back.

Finally, he also made a suggestion that it would be easiest to buy some duck eggs and go home for the hens to hatch.

When Liu Qiyong heard him, he was a little undecided, so he didn't ask to buy old ducks again, and wanted to go back and discuss with his daughter-in-law first.

Sending people away, Liu Junhao saw that the time was almost up, so he started to make lunch. I made a cold nepeta for my wife, and I coped with fried river shrimp.

At lunchtime, Zhang Qian mentioned the wild strawberries on the mountain, saying that the thing was ripe, and asked him to pick some back and squeeze the juice when he was okay in the afternoon.

Strawberries ripe? Count the seasons, almost. It's this time, but what makes Liu Junhao wonder is that his wife has been busy with classes every day these days, and she doesn't have time to go up the mountain at all, how can she know about it before herself.

"When I was at school, I saw students picking and eating"

No wonder, after listening to her answer, Liu Junhao made. It looked like it dawned on me.

"What's that look on your face?" Zhang Qian looked old. The expression on the man's face, thinking that he was secretly laughing at his greed, reached out and screwed him.

"How dare I" Liu Junhao hurriedly assured that there would be more in the afternoon. Pick some strawberries and come back.

"By the way, bring your camera with you when you go, take more pictures, and wait for that. to the eighteenth floor website. Zhang Qian said again.

"Know" Liu Junhao nodded in agreement, in fact, even if his wife didn't say it, he would. I have this plan, after all, I am still a volunteer propagandist in the village.

Leading Goku's little skin. When he arrived at the place, he realized that he had come a little late, and several old men had already picked by the ditch.

After they inspected the environment of Liujiagou, a considerable number of people decided to live here for a while to experience a quiet and comfortable rural life.

In the past, almost all the tourists in Liujiagou were young people, and after learning about Liujiagou from the Internet, they came here to relieve the pressure of work and study in their free time. The old people are different, mainly because they are too lazy to move and are unwilling to travel so far to travel. Their generation basically has the experience of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, and in their opinion, the countryside is nothing more than that. If it weren't for seeing the changes in Old Man Wang's body with their own eyes, they really didn't want to come. After I came, I realized that what people said was true, and this is indeed a good place to retire. Because of this, the dozen or so houses that had just been built in the spring were sold out not long after, and they were all rented. Recently, Liu Guangju has been working on the second phase of the project. While many elderly people have settled here, they also call their other friends and invite them to come and play.

Which old man doesn't have many friends, in recent times, there have been more elderly people who come to Liujiagou to visit and play. These old people are in groups of three, five or move a small stool to sit by the big weir pond to fish; or bring some small fish to watch the birds; It's not just to carry a small hoe and go to the mountains to find the orchid and visit the secluded.

They can live a much more comfortable life than young people, and they don't have to think about going to work at all, and they can live as long as they want. There is not enough hotel in the village, so the remaining old people naturally disperse to the farmhouse in the village.

After greeting each other, Liu Junhao didn't want to compete with others for wild strawberries, so he turned around and walked towards the south slope.

It's farther there, but there are more strawberries.

The energy of the spring water is indeed extraordinary, and when he saw the wild chrysanthemums all over the mountains, Liu Junhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was digging wild chrysanthemums, he was afraid that he would dig up the field, so he secretly watered the rest with spring water. Now the wild chrysanthemums on the hillside have grown to a height of twenty or thirty centimeters, which is obviously much more vigorous than elsewhere. Not only them, but other weeds are also thriving.

Now Chitu was blessed, he untied the reins and let it graze, while he and Wukong searched for wild strawberries. The monkey had sharp eyes, and looked for wild strawberries much faster than his owner, and in a short time he found a large patch in the bushes. But after this guy picked the strawberries, he just stuffed them into his mouth and didn't throw them into the basket at all. In the end, it was even more lazy to pick, sitting directly on the edge of the basket, and secretly stretched out its paws to grab a few in the basket to eat when the owner was not paying attention.

This guy definitely has a lazy tendon on his body, Liu Junhao flicked at its head a few times with a cry and laughter. Then let the monkey make up for it and help him pick the strawberries.

Half full of small bamboo baskets, Liu Junhao stopped. Although this strawberry is good, it is not released, anyway, whenever you want to eat it on the mountain, it is better to eat fresh.

Remembering what Zhang Qian explained at noon, he took out his camera again and took pictures around. In the mountains in April, there are scenery everywhere, and his camera has not stopped since he turned it on.

Goku followed his master for a while, and when he got bored, he turned around and slipped away.

Without this noisy guy, I finally relaxed for a while. Seeing the red rabbit eating in the grass not far away, Liu Junhao sat down on the stone, squinting his eyes and wanting to rest for a while. As a result, before he could fall asleep, Goku suddenly squeaked and scurried over from a distance.

He wanted to reprimand the monkey, but he found that this guy was very happy in front of him, as if he had hysteria.

What's going on? When the monkey raised its paw up to him, Liu Junhao saw that the furry paw was swollen.

Didn't you get stung by bees again...... To say that Wukong was stung by the soil bees in the yard because he stole soil honey to eat, it is not once or twice. It can be said that this guy is quite afraid of bees now, and usually does not dare to lean in front of the reed stack. What's going on this time, isn't it a mistake?

The monkey screamed around his master for four or five minutes, and finally gave birth to him, and then pulled him towards the accident site. Look at the meaning, it seems that he wants Liu Junhao to help it take revenge.

Although he knew that the bee had already flown away, in order to appease Goku, he still let this guy lead the way.

He hadn't gone far before the guy pointed to a big rock and screamed.

That thing is under the stones...... Liu Junhao understood. It's not the bees that sting Wukong. In the stone, it can only be a scorpion or a centipede. Although these two things are rare in Daqingshan, it does not mean that there are none. Like the toad, the villagers were quite disgusted with them. The toad is better, although it is very disgusting, but it is basically no threat to people. Scorpions are different from centipedes, and if you are not careful to be stung by them, you cry dad and call mother, tears flow. Especially scorpions, this thing is impossible to prevent, and there are quite a few of them in the village. They can be found in the cracks of the walls, under the pots, in the haystacks and even under the mats.

When he was naughty in the past, Liu Junhao caught a scorpion and secretly stuffed it into his classmate's stationery box, because of this, he was reprimanded by the teacher a lot of times.

In the early years, the village was poor, and most of the houses were built with stones on the lower floors and adobe on the top. This kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for the survival of scorpions, so there are many scorpions.

It can be said that in the early years, if anyone in the village was not stung by a scorpion once or twice a year, he would not say that he was from Liujiagou. After a long time, people's bodies are anti-toxic, and later they are stung by scorpions, but they leave a red spot the size of a needle, and they can't even be swollen.

Later, someone went to the village to collect scorpions, a dime a piece. The people of the village came and mobilized the whole village, young and old, one by one, with hand-held lanterns to look for scorpions. After half a year's effort, the number of scorpions in the village has decreased sharply, and there is no longer the grand occasion of the past. In the 90s, when the villagers had money, they converted adobe houses into brick houses, and the scorpions were completely transferred to the surrounding mountains, and now it is rare to hear of people being stung by scorpions.

Whether it is a scorpion or a centipede, spring is a time when it is very poisonous, no wonder the monkey was stung and jumped up and down just now.

As soon as he lifted two stones, he saw a translucent scorpion in the shape of a small lute appear. The guy probably sensed the danger, and the two pincers waved their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to give someone a touch at any moment.

Liu Junhao was going to find two wooden sticks to pick up the scorpion, but who knew that Wukong had already grabbed the stone and went up, and it smashed it hard, and the scorpion that was showing off its might just now was smashed to pieces.

This guy, what are you doing by stoning the scorpion to death, can you sell it for money. But thinking that the monkey had just been stung, he had a lot of resentment, so he didn't say anything.

It was okay in the afternoon, Liu Junhao thought about it, and was going to pick up some scorpions on the mountain and sell them back. I heard that scorpions cost 100 yuan a catty, and if I can pick up half a catty of scorpions in a long time, the harvest is not small.

But things were not as easy as he imagined, and it took him nearly an hour and a half to catch a dozen scorpions in the middle of the pile of stones, and sell them for less than two dollars. No wonder the people in the village did not go up the mountain to catch scorpions and sell them for money, it was not cost-effective at all, according to his speed, he could earn five or six yuan by picking stones on the mountain for half a day.

After taking pictures of the scorpions, Liu Junhao planned to throw them away, but when he thought that he had spent a lot of time for this, he had the idea of bringing the scorpions back to feed the chickens. Although the hen doesn't like to eat this thing, in the final analysis, it is also the fruit of labor, and it is a pity to throw it away.

It just so happened that Chitu was also full over there, so he picked up Wukong and stepped on the horse, and returned home leisurely.

When he arrived in front of the courtyard, he turned over and dismounted, slapped Chitu twice on the buttocks, and the guy honestly got into the stable. More than a dozen scorpions were thrown into cans and bottles by him, and in order to prevent them from suffocating to death due to lack of oxygen, Liu Junhao also deliberately used iron nails to nail a few small holes in the bottle cap.

Take a break and copy all the photos from your camera to your computer. He saw that the photo was too simple, so he picked out some of the freshly picked strawberries, washed them several times with spring water, and then put them in a porcelain plate to take pictures.

To say that after working as a volunteer propagandist in the village for more than a year, Liu Junhao's photography level has improved a lot, and now the photos he takes are becoming more and more beautiful. After the strawberries were washed with spring water, they were stained with a few dots of water, which looked red and delicate. Not to mention, even he himself feels that this photo is in his mouth, and he wants to eat a few strawberries first
