Just had lunch, Zhang's mother's old sisters

A group of people went up the mountain. As the hosts, Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian naturally planned to accompany them throughout the process. Zhang's mother didn't let her, saying that they were just walking around the neighborhood and didn't need to be so troublesome. Even so, the two sent them to the foot of the mountain.

The red roses on the mountain have been blooming vigorously since the end of March, and there is no sign of withering. As far as the eye can see, many tourists are taking pictures in the sea of flowers. Liu Junhao turned a blind eye to this situation, so he naturally had no idea, so he directly threw the red rabbit on the grass and leaned on the big bluestone to take a nap.

Zhang Qian was worried about catching insects for the young birds, so when she went up the mountain, she did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery, but focused on the grass. At this time, the "bandit head" locusts have fully grown into adults, and when they are slightly alarmed in the grass, they immediately explode their wings and fly away. This thing doesn't look small, but it has super bounce ability, and it can fly out more than ten meters away with a flap of wings, which is extremely difficult to catch. Zhang Qian struggled a lot, but she didn't catch up with the last one, or Wukong saw that his master was embarrassed and ran to the grass to help. This guy has a quick eye, less than five minutes. And he caught two.

I was tired and panting here, and when I looked back, I saw Lao Cheng lying on a big rock and sleeping lazy. She became depressed, ran to her, and shouted, "Get up, get up for me." ”

"Why don't you catch it?" Liu Junhao glanced at the expression on his wife's face and knew that the gain was very small.

"That grasshopper flies too fast, I can't catch it at all, you can catch it for me later," she said, stuffing the can and bottle into her husband's hand.

"You still don't believe that what you did was useless, and the young birds were fed by you? Rest assured, the old swallow will definitely not let his children go hungry. Liu Junhao replied and continued to squint his eyes and pretend to sleep. After running on the mountain for a while, my heart was hot, and now I am lying on the big bluestone and being blown by the mountain wind, my bones are crispy, and I am really too lazy to move.

"Then you can also get up for me, I don't believe it, I can't even touch an 'old flat dan'." Zhang Qian made up her mind to let her husband follow her and be depressed.

"Comrade Zhang Qian, your behavior made me sound a classic saying on the Internet, 'Iron rods can be sharpened into needles, wooden rods can only be made into toothpicks, the material is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it is useless', you are now doing the matter of begging for fish from the wood." Liu Junhao sat up helplessly.

"What do you mean?" She was even more confused, "Are you saying that there is no 'old biandan' on this mountain?" No way, the grass is very lush here. ”

"I'm dizzy, you've been here in Liujiagou for almost two years, haven't you noticed this situation, the old flat dan on the mountain is not nothing, but very few. Opposite. There are many bandit heads. He had no choice but to recount the matter in detail.

"It seems to be true, don't you say that I haven't paid attention, I said that there are so many on the way from school, why can't I see it on the mountain."

"The reason is simple, the food of the old flatan is more stammering grass and sweet wine grass, and other grasses are not suitable for them to survive. And those two grasses are only suitable for growing on the side of the road...... If you want to catch the old flat dan, there are many on both sides of the embankment, ok, do you understand? He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said.

Don't look at it simply, but few people in the countryside really pay attention to this situation. Liu Junhao raised birds when he was a child and is quite familiar with the habitat of various grasshoppers. Take the "bandit head" locust as an example, the locust plague that the old people often mentioned in the past is this guy. They are really worthy of this title, and they often catch what crops are eaten. After a large area of locusts, there is basically no green ground left, so the damage to crops is quite large. A single kind of old flat shoulder is not very harmful, although they have wings, but they can't fly at all.

"Then let's go to the riverbank to catch grasshoppers, shall we?" Listening to his explanation, Zhang Qian immediately became interested again.

"Don't wait for our mother?" Liu Junhao was too lazy to move, so he could only find an excuse to excuse himself.

"I'll just send a text message and say it. They only wandered around the nearby hills, and they were fine. Zhang Qian was there with all her might, and dragged him down the mountain by force.

When I got to the embankment, things were as Liu Junhao said, just a few steps away, and all the old flats in the stammering grass were blasted out. Most of them are three or four centimeters long, and their horns and wings have not yet grown, and they can't jump up at all. At this time, the old flat pole is the best to feed the birds, it is particularly tender, and it can be swallowed directly when it is stuffed into the bird's beak.

They knew that there were many insects on the riverbank, and even more so the birds, and along the way, they could see magpies and gray hemp jumping in the grass from time to time.

Liu Junhao really had no interest in catching grasshoppers, so he simply squatted on the ground and studied sweet wine grass. The leaves of this grass are very similar to the stammering grass, and several hair-like filaments grow on the stem, which can be pulled out by pulling the stem out with a vigorous pull of the hand. Put the tender part of the bottom in your mouth and chew it, and suddenly a sweet taste spreads on the tip of your tongue.

This is the sweet wine grass, which he used to pick and eat when he was a child.

The monkey saw that the master was eating with relish, and also squatted on the ground and dragged a few into his mouth. After tasting it, the guy kept shaking his head, apparently liking the taste.

It's a ...... I've been with people for too long, and I'm getting more and more anthropomorphic!

"What are you eating behind you, eating so deliciously?" Zhang Qian was busy for a while and wanted to talk to her husband. As a result, when I turned my head, I found that they had already gone on strike, and they were squatting on the side to eat at the moment.

"Come and rest for a while" Liu Junhao patted the soft grass and asked his wife to sit down by himself.

"How are you like Chitu. Eating grass? When he saw what he was chewing in his mouth, Zhang Qian became strange again.

"Try it, it's delicious." Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and pulled one and handed it over.

"It's the first time I've ever known that this grass can be eaten." After Zhang Qian tasted it, she also felt that it was very fresh, and the taste was indeed a bit like a freshly brewed sweet wine.

"Everywhere you pay attention to learning, there are many things you don't know." Liu Junhao pretended to sigh and said that he found that he was enjoying this kind of mentality of "blowing" his wife's self-confidence more and more. Hitting is kissing, scolding is love, this may be a manifestation of love between two people.

"You're a crooked talent. I know something useless. Zhang Qian opened her mouth to retort.

There were many grasshoppers on the river embankment, and it didn't take long for the two of them and a monkey to catch most of the canned food bottles. It just so happened that Chitu had eaten almost enough, and they were going to take it home directly. I didn't know that I had just taken two steps, but I saw a fiery red figure appear from the reeds next to me.

Grass Raccoon ...... The two recognized each other at a glance. As soon as the guy saw someone walking not far away, he was stunned and then recognized them, and ran over with a cry of joy. Immediately after, the other one in the reeds heard the call and also rushed out.

The two foxes cried around them for a while, and then ran into the ditch by the reeds with their tails between their legs. This ditch is the one in front of Liu Junhao's gate, and from here it flows into the river through the gate of the embankment. Usually, the floodgates are open, but they are only closed when the flood is high.

The grass civet moves rather strangely, sitting upside down on the edge of the ditch, gracefully like a gentleman.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Qian turned her head and asked her husband. I found that he also looked curious.

When the grass civet saw the two approaching, he was not surprised, but shouted and said hello.

"You're not fishing, are you?" When he saw the two guys stretching their thick tails into the water and stirring constantly, Liu Junhao was stunned for a moment. This action is too familiar to him, isn't it the posture of the cat when fishing?

I used to think that fishing with my tail was a unique skill of flower cats, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.

"Husband, look" Zhang Qian suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the tail of the grass civet stretched out in the water.

"This ...... Water mole crickets, so much? Liu Junhao looked at the movement in the water in disbelief. I saw that its big broom seemed to be constantly wriggling its tail slightly. From time to time, water mole crickets swim in the pebbles and cling to the tail of the grass civet.

Water mole crayfish are more common in large rivers and look very similar to crayfish. They usually hide in crevices or under pebbles, as long as you stomp your feet on the rocks. Two or three will come out of it at once. When this little thing escapes in the water, it runs backwards with its tail swinging the water, and it has a lot of personality. It's also very slow, and it's easy to get caught.

Of course, this method is too slow, and people usually get some chicken blood and pour it in shallow water when they want to catch water mole crickets. After a while, the nearby water mole crays and shrimp came to smell the smell, and at this time, they only need to catch them with a net, and sometimes they can catch a small half bucket at a time.

This thing is boiled in a pot and eaten in salted water, and the taste is not ordinarily good.

It's just that what's going on with this fox tail, it has so much magic? The two watched the number of crickets and shrimps continue to increase, and the doubts in their hearts also accumulated.

Finally...... One of them slammed its tail out of the water, and the little ones were caught off guard and had no time to escape, and they were all thrown ashore.

Boy...... I caught more than a pound at one time, and the grass beaver really got it.

The guy put his tongue in front of the water stain and carefully picked it up, and in less than two minutes, all the crickets and crays were in his stomach.

"I thought our Doudou was smart enough, who knew that the grass beaver wouldn't accept it." On the way home, Zhang Qian only sighed.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the grass civet can survive until now, and it is not normal to have two predatory stunts." Liu Junhao understands, otherwise why do people often say that Fox Daxian would have become a good person.

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Qian couldn't wait to start moving the ladder to feed the little swallow. The little ones hadn't even opened their eyes, and as soon as they heard movement outside, they immediately chirped with their delicate little mouths. Liu Junhao also went up the ladder to see it before, these little swallows have not grown fluff yet, they are bare, like small meat eggs, they have no beauty at all, I don't know why my wife likes them so much.

At this time, a foraging swallow happened to fly back, and it was not surprised to see Zhang Qian feeding there, but stopped at the edge of the nest and whispered to her.

When the monkey saw this, he was interested again, and wanted to go up to help, but as soon as he reached the top of the ladder, the old swallow immediately pecked at it. Helpless, Zhang Qian's side had to drive this guy down.

"What is Zhang Qian busy with...... Take a picture of the swallow again? "This time. Professor Zhao's voice came from the courtyard. The old man often came and went in the yard, so he naturally knew that she was going to make popular science photos for students.

"No, I just caught a lot of grasshoppers from the river embankment in the afternoon and got them back to feed the little swallows......" Zhang Qian replied with a shake of the canned bottle. Feed them grasshoppers, who do you listen to? Professor Zhao was stunned when he heard this.

"What's wrong? They eat very happily...... "Zhang Qian didn't know what the old man meant by this. In the past, every time I caught grasshoppers and fed them to the little swallows, they rushed to eat them.

"Swallows feed on insects, but their diet is more inclined to aerial insects. For example, mosquitoes and flies, etc., as for this grasshopper...... They generally don't eat it. The birds don't know anything, and if you force the grasshoppers into their mouths, they will have to swallow them. ”

"No, I thought grasshoppers could feed any bird, what should I do, they will be fine if they eat it, right? When I caught grasshoppers, Liu Junhao didn't give me an explanation. Zhang Qian immediately became nervous when she thought that she was going to do something bad with good intentions, she didn't want these little lives to die in her own hands.

"Don't worry, it's fine. Swallows don't eat grasshoppers, it's just that they're not good at catching food on the ground. Liu Junhao came out of the house when he heard this, and he had just checked it from the Internet. He had raised all kinds of birds before, but this little swallow was the only one who watched it closely and didn't let him vote, so he really didn't know what to eat with this thing. I thought they were like sparrows, they ate everything. Who knew that I just looked it up on the Internet, only to find out that my previous cognition was wrong.

Although the swallow is fast, its claws are too weak to control the landing site well, so most of their predation is done in flight.

However, Mr. Zhao's statement is completely wrong, as if someone has never eaten abalone, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like to eat it.

"Where's your Goku?" After a few small talks, Professor Zhao turned his head and asked.

"It was still out there just now, what are you looking for it?"

"The little girl flew a kite and hung it on a branch and asked the monkey to help take it off."

"You wait...... Wukong, Wukong......" Liu Junhao shouted a few times at the top of his throat, but he didn't hear the monkey's call.

It's weird, when did this guy slip out again. When it wasn't looking for it, it always ran to it and was annoying, but now it's looking for it and it's gone.

Unable to find the monkey, he had to go out himself.

Anyway, the kite was not hung high, and Liu Junhao took it off without much effort.

It wasn't until dinner time in the evening that the monkey appeared in front of people. After holding the rice bowl, it did not wander around the table as usual, but ran straight into its cabin.

"What's wrong with Wukong, it can't be that he was angry with me in the afternoon, right?" Normally, this guy would make a fuss for a long time after eating, but now it is really abnormal to become so honest
