Chapter 160: The Spirit of a King
Is this ant ......? "Dad Zhang saw a large area crawling around on the ground] and jumped. Each one is the size of a fingernail, and if you include the antennae and hind legs, it's about two centimeters long.
This nest of ants is going to bite people, absolutely terrible.
"So much?" Professor Zhao also said with some surprise. He had seen this big black ant a lot of times when he had gone up the mountain before, but he had seen three or five at most each time, and it was the first time he had seen such a large group of them.
"Let's see how long it is," Brother Zhang Qian retreated to a safe distance, his mood also relaxed, and he reached out and quickly grabbed it on the ground, and he had already pinched a big ant into his hand.
He pulled a dollar coin out of his trouser pocket and put the ant on it, the ant's body taking up more than half the length of the coin.
"This ant is not very big, I heard a colleague say before that the ant they saw in the northeast is called big. One is the size of a thumb, and if a person steps on it, it will burst with a 'flutter'. Professor Zhao followed, then turned his head to look at Liu Junhao and asked, "I heard that this thing cures rheumatism after soaking in wine, right?" ”
"Hmm," Liu Junhao nodded.
There is a lot of rain in Liujiagou, and the ground is damp, and the elderly are prone to rheumatism. Generally, the elderly with this disease usually bring a few reed pipes when they go up the mountain, and when they see the big ants, they immediately catch them and put them in the reed pipes, and then get them back to make wine. The effect of using ant-soaked wine to treat rheumatism is very good, and many rheumatism is cured by this thing.
"Which of you has a bottle, I want to catch some and get some back to make wine, Xiao Fan has rheumatism." Aunt Zhang Qian heard that the big ant had such a miraculous effect, so she asked.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, they went up the mountain purely for fun, and whoever was okay would bring a bottle up the mountain.
Liu Junhao looked at it carefully for a long time. Now the ants are constantly crawling up and down on a dead stump. He was overjoyed. It turns out that this ant nest is in the dead wood. No wonder there are so many big ants nearby.
"Wait. I'll go home and get a shovel and a bottle for you to catch ants......"
Less than half an hour. He caught up again.
Hit the dead wood a few times with a shovel. Suddenly, ants swarmed out. One by one, they crawled around in panic on the trunks of the trees.
Now I've found the hole. Liu Junhao kicked the trunk of the tree with all his strength. The trunk had already been hollowed out by ants. So he kicked off half of the dead stump with his feet.
"Ants steal so much rice......" Xiao Haoyu was bold. Immediately leaned in front of the stump.
I saw a large pile of snow-white things scattered around the fracture, which suddenly looked like rice grains.
"It's an ant egg, it looks like it can be cooked." Professor Zhao also leaned over and pinched a pill at the risk of being bitten by ants. The appearance is white and tender, and there is a layer of film on the surface, which gives people a pleasant feeling when they look at it.
"Can you eat this thing?" Liu Junhao looked at the white ant eggs on the ground with great affection.
"Of course, this thing is high in protein, and it's better than the pupa of the soil bee, let's get some and try it home."
Speaking of fried bee pupa, they have eaten it a few times these days. However, every time I get up to half a bowl, it will be gone before I can enjoy it, and I am very hungry.
Hearing him say this, Liu Junhao also squatted on the ground to collect it, and after a while, he got half a wine bottle.
Back at home, Professor Zhao put the ant eggs in a bowl and rinsed them several times, blanched them in boiling water while putting them in the hedge, and then added garlic juice, chopped green onions, salt, vinegar and other seasonings.
"How about you all come and have a try?" He warmly invited the crowd.
As a result, except for Liu Junhao, no one stepped forward. He gently pinched one of them with chopsticks and put it in his mouth in everyone's notes, and it was a little sour at first, but soon he felt that it was so delicious that people couldn't help but feel full of relish.
"It's delicious," he said, picking up two more with his chopsticks and putting them in his mouth.
"I'm relieved, I just heard people say it was done before." Professor Zhao also stretched out his chopsticks.
Khan, it turns out that he used himself as an experiment.
Under the repeated recommendation of the two of them, everyone came forward with chopsticks to taste it, and after tasting it, they kept nodding their heads.
Soon, half a bowl of ant eggs was eaten, and everyone felt a little unsatisfied.
After lunch, Zhang Qian's parents and others were about to leave. Liu Junhao originally wanted them to stay in Liujiagou for a few more days, but he didn't think about it, but he was dismissed by Zhang's mother.
If the daughter is already married, it goes without saying that the mother-in-law will go to the son-in-law's house to live for a few days, which is a matter of course, and no one can say anything. But the two are not married yet, and they live here with their own eyes, what is that called.
Seeing their resolute resignation, Liu Junhao had to hurry up and prepare things.
When people came, they brought a lot of gifts, and when they left, of course, as a junior, they couldn't let them go home empty-handed.
Soil honey must be indispensable, and Mama Zhang, who gave it last time, said that the effect was very good, and this time I was getting two bottles to go back.
And Ju Julian, yesterday's dish Dad Zhang was full of praise, wait for a big plastic bag, anyway, there are so many things in the backyard.
There are also a few large strings of dried fungus hanging under the eaves of their house, let them take them back.
These fungus are:
Nothing to pick from the poplar trunk at the base of the wall, absolutely wild. Soak it in water, the water is smart, and you can know that it is the best grade at a glance.
I don't know if it's because the root of the wall is too damp, or because of the spring water, the fungus on the trunk is growing even if it doesn't rain, and Liu Junhao can get a big bowl every ten days. He and Professor Zhao couldn't eat it, so they picked a lot of it and dried it under the eaves.
After sending the people away, Liu Junhao completely relaxed again.
It seems that he has been touring the mountains and rivers for the past two days, but in fact, he has not relaxed much. After all, most people are coming for the first time, so be sure to entertain them.
It's okay to stay in the yard, so let's take the red rabbit out for a walk. I was busy taking care of the guests for the past two days, and I didn't feed it much.
Led Chitu to the campus, Liu Junhao was just about to tie the reins, "Meow" suddenly popped out of the grass A half-earth flower cat, staring at him with a tiger's eye, with a few bright lights in his eyes.
Whose cat runs so far? He was taken aback by this sudden appearance.
Although cats like to hunt in the jungle and often roam around the village, they generally do not go outside the village, and even rats in the field are rarely caught. Because that's the owl's job, they can't steal someone's job. But how did this stuff get to campus?
It can't be a grass leopard, right? Liu Junhao immediately flashed another thought.
Not to mention, after having this thought, no matter how you look at this thing in front of you, it looks like a grass leopard.
Since the appearance of grass leopards in the mountains more than two months ago, many people have encountered them one after another these days. However, this thing is too timid, and as soon as it sees someone, it will immediately flee far away, and will not give you a chance to approach at all.
What's going on with this guy in front of him, it doesn't seem to be afraid of himself at all.
Liu Junhao tentatively took two steps forward, and the "grass leopard" jumped into the grass quickly, and when he turned around, this guy followed not far away.
Could it be that this guy is still relying on himself? Liu Junhao saw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he simply didn't pay attention to it, but slowly walked around the campus.
After a few rains, weeds grew wildly on campus, knee-deep in many places. It seems that when school starts, the first thing students do is weeding the campus.
When he put his head to the door of the classroom window, he was immediately happy, and saw a poplar sapling more than half a person tall growing in the center of the classroom.
This is also a rarity, but unfortunately I don't have a camera at hand, otherwise I would have to take a picture.
The campus is so big, and after a while, Liu Junhao was also annoyed, so he simply lay down in the grass and squinted and took a nap.
The "grass leopard" saw him lying there motionless, and he became bold and approached with tentative steps. In the end, this guy stopped only three steps away from Liu Junhao, and then squatted down, squinting and dozing.
What is this, it seems that it really depends on itself, isn't this the legendary king's spirit, he is powerful, and the female animals within a radius of hundreds of miles will immediately be obedient.
Khan, I really read too much on the Internet. He sat up and banished the absurd idea from his mind.
When he arrived, the "Grass Leopard" immediately fled, and then approached again.
"This thing must be extremely hungry, and I want to find food to eat when I see people." Liu Junhao touched his body, but he didn't bring anything to eat, so he had to spread his hands and give up.
When Chitu was almost full and he led him home, this guy was still following closely behind, apparently wanting to follow him home.
"Xiao Hao, where did you pick up a kitten?" Professor Zhao was sitting on the side of the road choosing vegetables, and when he saw a yellow kitten behind him, he asked with a smile.
"Kittens? It's probably a grass leopard, but it's got its name on me. Liu Junhao said with a slight expression. , have you ever seen a grass leopard that isn't afraid of people? In the end, it will be clear if the kitten does an experiment. Professor Zhao said as he went back to the house, picked up a pickled float and threw it on the ground.
"Meow" This guy immediately rushed over, puffed up and ran.
It turned out to be a wild cat, no wonder seeing people so close, Liu Junhao was suddenly lost. He was thinking about using Zhang Qian's mobile phone to take a few photos with the "grass leopard" just now, and then upload it to the forum to open everyone's eyes.
Now that the category of this guy has been determined, he has completely lost interest and led Chitu home directly.
When the wild cat saw him enter the yard, he also got into the waterway.
"Wangwang......" Xiaopi was wagging his tail to welcome his master, when he suddenly saw a wild cat come in, and immediately screamed and pounced.
The cat's reaction was also quite sensitive, and with a quick jump, it had already jumped onto the poplar tree, and then screamed at the tree "meow meow" indiscriminately.
Xiaopi can't go up the tree, so he can only stare under the tree at the moment.
Liu Junhao saw that Xiaopi was angry, and hurriedly called it back. Let's let this cat stay in the yard first, just in time to catch mice for Professor Zhao's house or something.
There is a small skin in his yard, and the rats are not afraid to come. On the contrary, Professor Zhao's house has a lot of mice, and he has to catch a small skin every once in a while. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
