Chapter 255: The Trick of the Water Seedling Chicken
After all the wild chrysanthemums were planted, Liu was busy helping his wife sort out new books on the first day of school today, so he only dealt with it casually.
Now looking at the time, Zhang Qian is almost out of school, he pondered for a while, and decided to save trouble.
There are a lot of fried dishes left over from the previous year, and now that the weather is hot, although it is in the refrigerator, it cannot be stored for a long time, so it is better to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be thrown away in a few days.
That being said, but seeing those greasy things, Liu Junhao still felt a little uneaten, so he simply made half a cabbage and stir-fried it.
As a result, when they were eating at noon, both of them stretched out their chopsticks to clip the cabbage, and no one touched the chicken and fish pieces at all. Helplessly, in the end, all the small skins and beans were cheaper. The two guys didn't feel greasy, and they had a beautiful full meal.
After lunch they carry a kettle and sit down. Under the sun, drinking the fragrant chrysanthemum tea, it feels really good. Farther away, the hard-working native bees are already busy building their nests, buzzing overhead.
It's rare that Goku didn't make a fuss in the courtyard, and . is honestly squatting on the stone slab to comb Liu Junhao's hair. It's just that this guy's combing skills are really not very good, and after a while, his hair was messed up, and Zhang Qian smiled and said that it was a chicken nest.
"Goo...... ...... "Suddenly, there was a . . . The scream startled Goku who was combing his hair.
The two turned their heads to look, but saw a water rice chicken in a daze. Chicken coop sprang out of the coop. This thing cat has been in winter for a winter, and it seems to be a little uncomfortable when it first comes into contact with the sun, and it can't stop stretching its neck and shaking. However, when he saw the human beings not far away, the water seedling chicken came to his senses, flapped his wings and was about to fly away.
The bird had apparently forgotten the fact that its wings had been clipped, and there was nothing at the moment. Law flies. Seeing that there was no way to escape, it slipped into the chicken coop again.
I didn't expect the water seedling chicken to wake up so early, Liu Junhao saw it. This situation is very surprising. I have the impression that they are rarely seen in spring, and only appear on the river beach in late spring and early summer.
Zhang Qian sat in the courtyard. After a while, Shi Shiran stood up. The Chinese New Year is a little lazy, and I feel weak on the first day of work without doing anything.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Liu Junhao wanted to ride the red rabbit to the river beach in the afternoon, which was regarded as a spring outing. However, when he saw those water rice chickens probing their brains in the chicken coop, he was a little worried. These birds have not yet been tamed, and when there is no one in the lower yard, they will surely slip away along the waterway.
Let Xiaopi guard at home, and after pondering for a while, he can only make this decision. But when I think about it, it's not appropriate, if they all blow up the nest, I'm afraid Xiaopi won't be able to stop it. What's more, he also wanted to take advantage of the warm weather to lead Xiaopi out for a good time.
Yes, throw it into the stone lock, no matter how the water rice chicken tosses, it can't escape from the palm of his hand.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao quickly opened the stone lock and wrapped all the dozen or so guys in it. In addition to their own beans, they are the second batch to enjoy this treatment.
The water straw chickens were obviously a little stunned when they first arrived in the stone lock, but they quickly got used to it, and they stretched their necks and barked one by one. Listening to that voice, it seems to be celebrating the arrival of spring.
Seeing that they were completely adapted, Liu Junhao put his mind at ease, turned around and rode on the red rabbit horse, and by the way, he led Xiaopi, Doudou and the monkey together.
Blue sky, white clouds, wind, green water. Liu Junhao walked all the way, he was in a very comfortable mood, stretched out his hand and patted on the horse's back, and then shouted: "Drive", and the red rabbit screamed and galloped.
It was too cold in winter, and Liu Junhao kept it in the courtyard. Now suddenly come out, this guy is running along the embankment with joy.
Xiaopi saw that the red rabbit was speeding up, and he also ran wildly, and from time to time he turned his head and yelled at the master.
Liu Junhao didn't feel anything, but Chitu was not angry, and his steps were faster, surpassing Xiaopi in an instant. Then Xiaopi sped up again......
Just like that, you chase me with a horse and a dog, and go all the way south along the river embankment, and when Liu Junhao reacts, Doudou and Wukong have long been pulled away.
He hurriedly stopped, and waited five or six minutes before he saw the shadows of the two guys.
Although the river embankment has been greened, it is only a few young shoots that have just grown, and compared with the stone lock, it is more than half a month later in the season.
Liu Junhao turned over and dismounted, casually found a piece of white grass and sat down, then untied the reins of the red rabbit and let this guy graze on the river embankment.
Little Skin first circled around his master, probably thinking it was not interesting, so he wagged his tail and went down to the river beach. As for Doudou, he lay directly into his arms, and then narrowed his eyes. The weather turned out to be used for sleeping, this guy really looked like himself.
In a few moments, the little skin came out of the reeds again, and a hare was still in his mouth. Its rabbit catching skills are getting higher and higher, and this time it didn't bite to death, but came with a top flower skin. The rabbit was still very happy when it was placed in front of him, and turned his head to escape, but was caught again.
"Little Pi, let it go." I ate too much rabbit meat a year ago, and Liu Junhao really doesn't mean to eat rabbit meat now. It's better to sprinkle this guy in the reeds and wait for the autumn to fatten up before catching it.
Although Xiaopi was puzzled, he also faithfully carried out his master's orders. The rabbit seemed to be frightened silly, and when the claws were released, it didn't know how to escape, or Goku jumped up and squeaked at it, and the thing flew out.
He sat on the river beach until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Junhao led his animals back. As soon as he entered the yard, he hurriedly kicked out the group of water straw chickens, who knew that as soon as he entered the stone lock, he was dumbfounded, and these guys were stretching their necks around the pond one by one.
The voice sounded strange, "Bang dong...... "Boom ......" has a strong sense of rhythm.
What does that mean...... Called Spring, Courtship!? Now this season, courtship seems to be a little early, and Liu Junhao is quite puzzled.
What puzzled him even more was that they were still behind, only to see them screaming for a while, and a ten-centimeter-long yellow eel swam to the water rooster. The creature's head suddenly protruded like lightning, and he swallowed the yellow eel into his mouth.
Yellow eel automatically delivered to the mouth? The more he looked, the more confused he became. Not to mention the yellow eels in the stone locks, even those in the backyard ditch have also become much more clever, and now it is very difficult to catch them with a net, and occasionally there are waterfowl flying into the backyard to catch fish, and it takes half a day's work.
But the scene in front of him subverted his cognition, and in his surprise, a yellow eel swam over and sent straight to the mouth of the water rooster.
What is the wonder of the water rice chicken catching the yellow eel, he watched it for a long time, but he didn't see it. I saw that the birds were staring at the water with their heads stretched out and motionless, like statues carved in stone, and they pecked at the eel when it came.
Isn't that the cry? The voice sounded familiar, and I remembered that I had heard it somewhere. Liu Junhao watched it for a while, and then gradually realized that it should be the strange cry of the water seedling chicken that led the yellow eel to him.
As for the voice...... Huang Eel, he came to his senses in an instant, and finally remembered why this voice was so familiar.
Because this was what they used to make when they were fishing for yellow eels when they were young, but the sound made by the water coot was long, and he didn't think about it for a while.
Liujiagou ditch has a lot of water, usually in addition to catching yellow eels in the ditch, there is also a way to use yellow eel hooks to fish. The eel hook is usually made from discarded umbrella bones or bicycle spokes. First, place one end of the umbrella bone on the grinding stone and grind it vigorously until it reaches a fine tip. After grinding, you need to hold it into a hook shape with hand tongs.
This is the most critical step in making the eel hook, and the rest is very simple, the other end is bent into a ring with a red rope tied to the top, mainly to be eye-catching, to prevent the eel hook from being pulled into the grass and not being found.
When it's time to fish for yellow eel, you can just thread an earthworm directly on the hook.
Ditch edges, ridges, river beaches, in short, as long as there is water, there are generally yellow eels. Unlike other fish, eels rarely live in deep water, but more often burrow along the shore, especially in ditches where stones are piled up. Just throw the bait hook into the hole, and within five minutes the eel bite will be specified. You can usually catch two in a hole, and at most you have caught seventeen.
Many people like to hold their thumb and forefinger into a loop and put them in the water before fishing for yellow eel, and then flick them gently. The friction of air and water is used to create a "goo...... Boom...... Mutter...... Knock ......" sound.
Liu Junhao didn't know why he did this at the time, and once asked others, and they told him that this would lead the yellow eel out.
Later, he tried several times, but to no avail, and thought that it was just a rumor spread by people. How could it be possible to catch a yellow eel with just a few flicks of the water with your hands, if that was the case, the yellow eel would have been caught a long time ago.
But now that he listened to the voice of the water straw chicken, he felt that it was not that other people's methods were not good, but that his fingers were not at home.
Watching the yellow eels rushing out with the sound, Liu Junhao became more and more suspicious that this sound really had such a big magic power, and he also squatted on the other side of the pond to try.
I haven't played with my fingers for a long time, and my fingers are a little stiff. But soon Liu Junhao became proficient, and his fingers sounded rhythmically in the water, but it was a few points worse than the cry of the water rooster.
His fingers were numb, and he didn't see the yellow eel swimming, and just when he was about to give up trying, suddenly a chopstick-long yellow eel swam over silently.
Liu Junhao suddenly reached out and grabbed the guy out of the water.
The voice...... It's really good! Liu Junhao tried a few more times, and the effect got better and better. There are so many yellow eels in his pond that one of them is hooked almost every three or five or six minutes.
When Liu Junhao was addicted, he suddenly remembered the matter of the water seedling chicken, these guys stayed in the stone lock for most of the day, and I am afraid that the yellow eel will eat a lot.
Forget it, when it is for the tuition fee of just learning this trick, when Zhang Qian comes back, she must demonstrate her the ability to catch yellow eels empty-handed, and then his wife will designate stars in her eyes
