Chapter 483: Time and Money
"You can take me to recognize it now, don't wait for the late afternoon to be cut off." He Yifan didn't want to wait for a moment.
"Okay" Liu Junhao nodded, and just as he was about to lead him out, he heard the little baby shouting outside: "Uncle Xiaohao, lend me your car." ”
"What are you doing?" he asked knowingly.
"Pull the fish and grass, you don't know that the fish and wood grass are also worth a lot now, my brother Qiyong sold it for a few hundred yuan in the morning. The last time I picked up the puddle of the loach...... "This bear child is very excited.
"You go and pull it, you don't need to use my help" Liu Junhao didn't know how many fish, trees and grass they had cut, since they used to pull the cart, there should be a lot.
"No, there are five of us, we can pull it." The little baby pulled up the car and ran fast, and in a blink of an eye, there was no shadow.
"Brother-in-law, take me quickly, don't wait for someone to rob you after you go down to the yard." He Yifan couldn't wait any longer: What, time is money.
"This is," Liu Junhao pointed to the plant next to the artemisia.
"So many," He Yifan exclaimed, grabbed the sickle and worked hard.
"I'll go back first, and I'll call you when I'm ready." Liu Junhao replied, turned his head and walked home.
It's nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, and the sun is scorching. The trees in this place are sparse, and the artemisia bushes are shading, so there is no wind at all. As soon as he stayed on the side for a few minutes, he felt hot sweat on his forehead, and naturally he didn't have the intention of staying any longer.
He Yifan wants to make money, so let him know how difficult it is to make money, and he will also know how to save when he spends his parents' money in the future.
After Liu Junhao left, He Yifan worked hard, and in a few minutes, a small haystack was piled up on the fish, trees and grass under his feet.
He only paid attention to turning his head to mow the grass, and did not pay attention to his feet at all, and just took a step forward with his left foot, he only felt a softness under his feet, as if he had stepped on something.
Subconsciously looked at his feet, He Yifan's face suddenly turned pale, and his body was completely stiff.
A large snake nearly two meters long was basking in the sun, and he suddenly stepped on it, and the snake's hoe rolled up its thick body violently, wrapping directly around his feet and neck, and the long letter kept swallowing and hissing.
"Mom...... Brother-in-law" Seeing the big snake's scarlet letter, He Yifan finally came back to his senses and screamed at the top of his voice. He stretched out his feet and kept kicking, trying to shake off the serpent.
There was a loud cry in the woods, and the noise was noisy, and the shouting was already muffled. Besides, he walked all the way forward when he was cutting fish, wood and grass, and now he was fifty meters away from the yard, where could Liu Junhao hear it.
He shouted several times, but received no response. Instead, he yelled and shook his thighs, causing the serpent to be frightened and open its mouth to bite its ankle.
From He Yifan stepping on the snake to the snake biting him, it was actually only a few seconds.
In a hurry, the bear child reacted and hurriedly grabbed the sickle and slashed at the neck of the big snake.
Impartially, it happened to cut right on the head of the snake. The big snake curled up in pain and retracted its head.
He Yifan only felt a huge pain in his feet and neck, as if he was being squeezed by something, and his body staggered. He hurriedly grabbed his left hand to the side, just holding on to a wolfberry tree, so that he didn't fall.
However, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so it aroused the strength of this guy, and the sickle hooked the abdomen of the big snake and pulled it.
"Click" He used a lot of force this time, and directly cut a hole in the snake's abdomen.
The big snake rolled over in pain, let go of He Yifan's feet and neck, and swam towards the depths of the grass.
He Yifan didn't relent, and used a sickle to cut a few times on the hairy wolf tree next to him, cut off the hairy wolfberry branch, and then grabbed the branch and chased after the big snake.
The snake was very slow after being cut by him, and He Yifan chased after it in a few steps, grabbed the branch and hit the snake head.
The big snake was probably stunned, and it couldn't escape no matter how it was entangled, so it finally lay on the ground weakly and whimpered.
Seeing the snake's body motionless and lying in the grass, He Yifan realized that his heart was beating straight at this time. The blue and yellow body, as well as the word "king" looming on the head, didn't feel like an ordinary snake. It was the first time he had seen such a huge snake, and it looked like a poisonous snake.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't let the snake bite.
He Yifan didn't dare to delay, and hurried home to call Liu Junhao.
"What, viper?" As soon as he heard that he was almost bitten by a big snake just now, Liu Junhao didn't cook anything, and hurriedly led Xiaopi to the back of the hospital in a panic.
Seeing the appearance of this snake, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his feelings were cauliflower snakes.
"Not poisonous? Why is the color so scary," He Yifan asked puzzled.
"Hehe, a lot of non-venomous snakes are very conspicuous in color. Poisonous snakes in Daqingshan are scarce, and they are generally in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to encounter them outside the mountains. You kill this cauliflower snake, whose scientific name is Wang Jin Snake, and you can boil snake soup and drink it. This snake is not too big, the one caught by Xiaopi the year before last was only big, and I ate three meals of stewed soup with Xiaopi. Liu Junhao said and picked up the big snake, planning to get it back to give the mother clouded leopard a tooth sacrifice. Now that the weather is hot, several clouded leopards rarely go out to hunt during the day, and generally hide in the courtyard to cool off.
These guys stayed under the tree, but the animals in the yard were frightened, except for the two yellow-spotted skins, most of the chickens and ducks Qingzhuang avoided walking, and did not dare to go under the tree. However, Wukong is bold and often provokes with a rubbing cannon. After being taught a few times by Zhang Qian, it relented.
At the end, Liu Junhao said again, "You guy is also stupid and bold, what are you provoking it for, what if you get bitten......"
The cauliflower snake has a ferocious temperament and likes to devour other snakes. But in the end, they are just ordinary snakes, and they are not like those pythons in the tropical jungle, and rarely actively attack humans. In fact, snakes are afraid of people, and if they encounter a large movement, they will be frightened away immediately, which is the origin of the grass and snakes.
It is estimated that this big snake was warming in the artemisia bush and was inadvertently startled, and He Yifan's feet stepped on its body and did not let go, which provoked the fierce attack of the cauliflower snake.
"You hurry up and go home with me, let's cut it together in the afternoon" After this incident, Liu Junhao didn't dare to let him stay alone in the artemisia grass anymore.
"It's okay, just leave me the little skin, and I'll finish cutting the fish, wood and grass here." After this incident, He Yifan's courage became bigger, and he felt that the cauliflower snake was nothing to fear.
"The meal will be ready immediately, and I will come back after eating." Liu Junhao was so good at talking about it that he finally pulled him away.
Zhang Qian was startled when she saw her husband bring back such a big snake, and when she asked why she was amazed at what had happened.
The mother clouded leopard was not polite to the food delivered to her mouth, and directly dragged the big snake outside the yard to eat.
He Yifan didn't know how to be energetic, he had just eaten lunch, and he was going to cut fish and grass with a sickle. Liu Junhao persuaded him several times before he stopped.
Today's maximum temperature is thirty-four or five degrees, and it is hot outside, he has never sunbathed in the sun, and he will definitely get sunburned and peel after staying for a few hours at noon.
He Yifan agreed very well, who knew that as soon as Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian went back to the house to sleep, he slipped out with a sickle.
When I got up, they had already cut all the fish, trees and grass in the puddle behind the courtyard, just waiting to pull it.
At this time, it was still hot, and Liu Junhao didn't want to move, but seeing that He Yifan was so energetic, he was embarrassed to continue to stay under the fan, and hurriedly went back to the village to find a cart.
The little baby borrowed the car in the morning and didn't return it at all.
He Yifan's achievements at noon were not small, and the fish, wood and grass were full of cars. Liu Junhao roughly estimated that drying could sell for one or two hundred yuan.
"Brother-in-law, where is there still fish, wood and grass in your village, you tell me, I'll go later." As soon as he carried the fish, wood and grass to the house, the bear child asked again.
"There are on the river beach, but there are very few, if you want to cut a large area, it is estimated that you have to look for it in the mountains." Liu Junhao thought about it and answered, usually this thing is worthless, and he really didn't pay attention to which place was more.
"Then I'll wait to go up the mountain, there are so many mountains, the people in your village will definitely not be able to cut them all, as long as you find a piece, you can cut it for an afternoon." He Yifan said and stood up.
"I'll go with you later" Liu Junhao was afraid that he would have an accident when he went into the mountain alone, so he could only follow to help.
I didn't think that this time the movement of the fish and wood grass was quite big, and I saw many tourists with sickles to join the grass cutting army on the road. In fact, most people just join in the fun, and they are idle in the village, so it is better to go up the mountain to see the scenery, and by the way, they can increase their income.
The mountain has just been cut by someone, and there is not much left, so Liu Junhao can only lead He Yifan towards the depths of the mountain forest.
When the weather is hot, most of the birds hide in the shade to rest, but the summer insects are not afraid of the heat, and they chirp non-stop in the bushes, which can be regarded as filling the silence of the mountain forest. In addition to the cry of the ground worm, there is also a kind of big-headed cricket that calls the most beautifully, the sound is crisp and pleasant, interspersed with the sound of cicadas, making the forest and the mountain road ethereal.
Not long after entering the mountain, I found a few large patches of fish, trees and grass in the bushes one after another.
Because there were a lot of weeds among the fish, trees, and grass, the two were busy until five o'clock.
Seeing that it was not early, Liu Junhao asked He Yifan to go home to pull the car, and he carried it out of the mountain.
Said to be the back, but threw the fish, wood and grass into the stone lock, and then went out of the mountain in a good way. When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Liu Junhao poured out the fish and grass again and waited.
So many fish, trees and grass were pulled back to the yard and there was no extra place to put them, and finally all of them were spread on the side of the road, planning to wait for them to dry before harvesting. I just looked at the weather forecast yesterday, and there has been no rain for the past two days.
"The two little guys didn't make trouble" When he got home, Liu Junhao asked about his son.
"I just know that I care about my children, but I don't care about me," Zhang Qian glanced at her husband and began to complain, "You come over and push the cradle, my arms are sore now." ”
The two little ones are now lying in the cradle and must be pushed, otherwise they will immediately grin and cry. Ordinary children fall asleep when they shake it, but these two guys are good, looking at you with wide eyes, and the more they shake, the more energetic they are.
In the afternoon, I shook for several hours, and my arm was very sore.
She also complained that her arm was uncomfortable, and when Liu Junhao took over the responsibility of coaxing the child, she was already sitting in front of the computer.
Liu Junhao shook his head, not knowing what to say about his wife.
Zhang Qian opened the website on the eighteenth floor and couldn't see it for two minutes, so she shouted: "Husband, come over and see, something is wrong."
"What's the matter?" Liu Junhao saw his daughter-in-law pointing to the computer screen and hurriedly leaned over.
"Liu Jiagou found an unknown creature, suspected of being a baby fish" Seeing the title of the post, Liu Junhao immediately felt bad.
The tourist who posted the post recounted in detail how he found the baby fish: in the afternoon, he and a few friends were cutting fish and grass by the mountain stream, and accidentally saw an unknown creature in the water. At first, I thought it was a fire head, but a few people jumped down to catch it, but they were surprised to find that it had four legs. They planned to catch the creature ashore for study, but they left no one behind and let the unknown creature run into the deep water and disappear.
The post was also accompanied by a few photos of catching fish, although the photos were relatively blurry, Liu Junhao still recognized that the shadow in the water was a baby fish.
A few people found rare animals, and they were naturally very excited, and just returned to Liujiagou and sent the photos to the eighteenth floor.
"Brother-in-law, you Liujiagou still have baby fish, why didn't I know before." He Yifan was also surprised when he saw the photo.
"There has always been, but it has not been made public," Liu Junhao replied with a sigh.
I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do, if the photos are not posted on the Internet, it can still keep those tourists secret. Now it has caused such a big sensation that I can't hide it anymore.
Just thinking about countermeasures, Er Mazi called over and said urgently, "Xiaohao, are you on the Internet at this time?" ”
"Well, Uncle Guangxi, isn't it about the baby fish?"
"You know, what do you say. In the afternoon I didn't know that they found the baby fish and took pictures, and knew that they must be stopped. Er Mazi exclaimed regretfully.
"I can't help it, now that it's been uploaded to the Internet, I'm afraid I can't stop it. I can only do more propaganda in the village, so that everyone can try not to alarm the baby fish when they go up the mountain. Liu Junhao didn't have any tricks, all he could think of was this.
In fact, he also knows that with the increase in tourists in Liujiagou, it is only a matter of time before the baby fish is discovered.
Liu Junhao was once again glad that he had the foresight to collect more than a dozen baby fish early and put them in the stone lock. When these salamanders spawn and grow in stone locks, they can be released back into the mountain stream.
Speaking of baby fish, he remembered that after catching these guys in the stone lock, he never bothered much. Liu Junhao was a little worried about what was in his stone lock, so he found a reason to go to the backyard and open the stone lock.
Baby fish like to live in caves, when Liu Junhao decided to raise baby fish in the stone lock, he deliberately used granite to build a few caves by the pool, and then transplanted a lot of aquatic plants next to it.
Carefully looking around the stone lock, the dozen or so baby fish are in good condition, and there should be no problem.
Seeing this result, Liu Junhao was completely relieved.
"Wife, look, our little second will laugh" When he got up in the morning, Liu Junhao changed the child's diaper and unintentionally turned his head to look, Xiao Er's two chubby little hands danced at him, his little buttocks pouted, and his mouth made a whining sound.
"I'll see, I'll see" Zhang Qian also hurriedly ran into the house with the camera. The little ones just made them happy with a smiling face. Looking at the two little faces every day, my heart is always warm, and I hope that the little ones will be happy and safe for a lifetime. What, Zhang Qian secretly said to herself a few days ago that she must be a competent mother and an excellent mother. Work hard for tomorrow and fight for the future. The children and the husband guard this warm little home brick by brick together. There are flowers, grasses, trees and bamboos in the yard...... In the morning, you can hear a flock of birds singing, and at noon you can see bees flying. Life is all about finding satisfaction, don't force too much, tell yourself that cherishing what you have now is joy.
They took a lot of pictures of the two little ones in the morning, and they wanted to make the boss laugh, but no matter how funny they were, the little ones pouted and bit their fingers.
The weather was good, and the fish, wood and grass stalls were dried completely on the side of the road for a day and a night. The next day, Er Mazi happened to drive to the street, so Liu Junhao saved a lot of trouble and loaded all the fish, wood and grass.
When He Yifan came back, his face was full of excitement.
"How much did it sell?" Judging by this person's expression, it should have sold a lot.
"More than 400 yuan, by the way, brother-in-law, just now we were selling fish, wood and grass on the street, and we knew that this thing can also be sold for money." He Yifan said and handed over a milky white flower.
"Wild carrot flowers...... Someone also collects this, how much is a pound? Liu Junhao asked suspiciously. Wild carrot seedlings are also something that cattle and sheep do not gnaw, but it is more common than fish and grass. The ditch is everywhere, and a hundred and ten catties can be cut out by the weir pond in the village.
"Three dollars a pound, I have to do it." He Yifan replied.
"Impossible, it can't be that expensive," Liu Junhao immediately denied. In Daqing Mountain, the carrot seedlings are widely distributed, and if you want to cut, you can cut one or two thousand catties in half a day. According to He Yifan's statement, it can be sold for at least 5,000 yuan. People aren't crazy about it, it's so expensive, it's impossible to think about it.
"Really, I don't lie to you, but people just need flower seeds." The bear child emphasized again.
If you want wild carrot seeds, this is possible. But I haven't heard that wild carrot seeds can be used as medicinal herbs, so is it possible to use them to make tea? Modern people are so weird, they take everything.
You don't need Liu Junhao's help to pick up wild carrot seeds, this thing is everywhere. It's hard to get, but it's expensive. He Yifan bribed the monkey with a bag of ice cream and asked it to make it with him.
At noon, one person and one monkey got most of the basket to the roof...... But he made it all nullified.
At noon, Er Mazi came to buy yellow eel, and Liu Junhao casually mentioned the matter of wild carrot seeds.
"Harvest wild carrot seeds in town? How come I don't know" Er Mazi looked at him with a surprised face and asked, "How much is a catty?" ”
"No," Liu Junhao was even more surprised than him, "My cousin said that the purchase station personally took it out for you to see, and it cost three yuan per catty." ”
"Oh, instead of wild carrot flowers, they take wild coriander." Er Mazi suddenly realized and explained.
No wonder...... So that's the case, Liu Junhao finally understood. Wild coriander and wild carrot look very similar, except that the former has smaller leaves than the latter, and one seed is astringent, and the other is bitter.
For those who are not familiar with the general situation, it is easy to confuse the two plants.
Wild coriander is relatively rare and generally grows only in places near water sources.
"What's the difference between the two?" Waiting for Liu Junhao why Yifan found wild coriander, this guy didn't see the difference for a long time.
In desperation, he had no choice but to lead the man to the edge of the ditch, and make a comprehensive comparison from the rhizomes, leaves, and flowers, and finally let him distinguish them.
"Three yuan a catty, it's not cheap," Zhang Qian was interested when she heard that wild coriander seeds were valuable. She is determined to get some seeds and plant them in the grass and woods around the school next spring, so that she can add some extra income to the school. Anyway, this weed is very easy to grow, just sprinkle the seeds, and you don't need to manage too much.
"It's better to grow wild coriander than to grow fish, wood and grass, this one grows tall and is more cost-effective," Liu Junhao suggested.
