Chapter 403: Eating grasshoppers

balmy autumn day

Liu Junhao held the red rabbit in his hand, led the two yellow-spotted skins and Wukong directly down to the river beach. When you get to the place, spread the red rabbit and let it wander around the river. Anyway, there are no crops nearby, so you can toss as much as you want.

He himself found a clean place and sat on the grass with a book in his hand.

Wukong stayed by his master's side for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so he caught grasshoppers and fed the starlings by himself.

The grasshoppers in autumn don't last for a few days, and that's true. Now the grasshoppers are about to reach the spawning season, and they are big and fat. In particular, the "old flat dan" and the "bandit leader", each of which is a finger long, has a lot of weight in their hands.

The book couldn't be read at all, and Liu Junhao began to fall asleep as soon as he turned two pages. He simply closed the book, moved his neck a few times, and looked up at the surrounding scenery. September is the harvest season, and the sky is particularly blue, especially pure, and the blue is amazing. The white clouds on the top of the head were like neatly arranged scales.

Looking into the distance, the white river flows slowly into the distance like a gentle ribbon wrapped around the reeds on both banks; The trees on the farther hills were pale yellow, with the occasional few trees glowing a fiery red; The crops in the fields are getting greener and greener, and they seem ready to catch the end of the season and go crazy for the last time.

In this situation, Liu Junhao missed a few lines of poetry to express his feelings, but he racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, and he didn't come up with a word that suited the situation.

On the contrary, a sentence emerged: "The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands", and you can't think of anything in the last two sentences...... The little bit of knowledge in the textbook has already been handed over to the teacher.

Hey, it seems that I really don't have the talent to be a poet.

When did the buddy become sentimental, Liu Junhao stopped thinking about those two lines of poetry and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After a while, the plastic bag in the monkey's hand contained a small half bag of grasshoppers. This guy excitedly ran to the master to show off, Liu Junhao was impatient to be harassed, so he had to get up and tie the mouth of the plastic bag, and then took out a plastic bag and handed it over.

These plastic bags were originally used to pick up chrysanthemum lotuses, but now they are being requisitioned by monkeys.

Watching the monkey busy in front of him, Liu Junhao remembered the scene of catching grasshoppers when he was a child. In the past, grasshoppers were always strung together: the left hand grabbed the grasshopper tightly and broke the grasshopper's head down, and the right hand pinched the grass stem from the bottom of the grasshopper's back and neck to the top, directly tied the membrane of the neck and saddle, and then pierced out from under the head. Pull it to the bottom of the dogtail again, and the grasshopper will be blocked by the dog's tail that has not been removed.

Just wear them one by one, and you can wear a large string in ten minutes. Sometimes the rise of catching, you can catch seven or eight strings in an afternoon, and you can hold all the things in your hand. Large and small, green and yellow, it looks very accomplished.

Sometimes the bandit leader who is particularly strong will kick on the skewers, kicking off the grasshopper body that he had put on before, leaving only his head to hang there alone.

Liu Junhao also summed up his experience in catching grasshoppers, and the best time to find grasshoppers is when the sun is about to set. At that time, the dew had already fallen, the temperature in the fields was relatively low, and the grasshopper's ability to move was greatly reduced. They are now crawling on the branches.

Early the next morning, when the sun is still outcropping, look for the low branches on the side of the road, and you will find grasshopper skewers everywhere. Lying there one by one is very honest, and you can pick it up directly.

But these are all things from childhood, and he doesn't have that leisure at all now, and would rather lie down in the sun than move.

This summer is dry and suitable for grasshoppers, and the river beach is everywhere. In just over two hours, the monkey had filled two and a half large plastic bags. Liu Junhao weighed it with his hand, and it was more than two catties.

With so many grasshoppers, it is estimated that two starlings can eat for half a month.

Seeing that it was not early, he picked up the red rabbit and walked back along the way he came. Goku was initially with his master, but soon disappeared. When I saw it again, this guy was holding a corn cob and gnawing on it, and I don't know whose plot it was broken from.

"Squeak" saw the master, and the guy excitedly raised the jade stick.

Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to take it and pinched it, and found that the corn kernels had hardened, and it was the time to cook and eat, and it would not taste good when he got old after a while.

Seeing that other people's corn was about to ripen, Liu Junhao remembered the more than 20 plants in his own house, and now it was time to cook and eat.

In previous years, the people in the village sent him tender corn to eat, but the two of them were embarrassed to eat others.

When planting sesame seeds this year, Liu Junhao casually sprinkled a handful of corn kernels that he fed to chickens and ducks into the backyard wall.

At first, the corn seedlings were growing well, but during a heavy rainstorm in the summer, he forgot to open the waterway in his backyard. As a result, the courtyard was flooded with rain, and when the water was drained, it was found that most of the corn seedlings had been drowned.

Seeing that they were half-dead, Liu Junhao simply didn't care about it anymore, but just didn't plant it.

Who would have thought that the vitality of these corn seedlings was very strong, and there were more than 20 corn plants that came to life, and they were getting higher and higher, and now the corn cobs produced were thirty or forty centimeters long.

If these more than 20 corn cobs are mature, they can beat more than a dozen catties of corn in the sky, but they will not work at all. Therefore, Liu Junhao had no intention of letting them mature, and was ready to cook and eat them directly, which was enough for the two of them to satisfy their hunger.

When she got home, Zhang Qian was already sitting in the courtyard eating grapes. Seeing her husband enter the yard, she said hello lazily, followed by a scream of "ah".

Liu Junhao was startled, thinking that his wife had some kind of nerves.

"Husband, this is the grasshopper you caught, why don't we fry the grasshopper and eat it tonight?"

Since Zhang Qian became pregnant, she always wanted to eat something fresh. Now when I see those two bags of grasshoppers, I always want to eat them.

Grasshoppers are caught on the river beach, and there is absolutely no pollution, so you can eat them by frying them. However, Liu Junhao is worried about whether pregnant women can eat it.

Now all actions are based on his wife, and when he heard that Zhang Qian wanted to eat fried grasshoppers, he immediately checked the information on the Internet. Since his daughter-in-law became pregnant, Liu Junhao has to check almost every meal he cooks on the Internet to see if pregnant women should avoid it.

Well...... Grasshoppers are rich in protein, and pregnant women can eat them as long as they don't overdo it.

However, the grasshoppers that have just been caught cannot be fried, and they need to be hungry for a day until the contents of their stomachs are cleared.

Liu Junhao was afraid that he would kill the grasshopper after a long time, so he didn't dare to delay, and poured the grasshopper into the wooden basin early. Of course, in order to prevent the chickens and ducks in the courtyard from stealing food, he deliberately covered the basin with two window screens.

At night, I still boil corn, and my own corn is sweet and silky when cooked, and it is very textured. Zhang Qian bit one and planned to continue to eat it, but Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped it, although the corn was delicious, but he couldn't eat more.

"Wearing a red jacket on July 15, and beating red dates on August 15" is less than half of August in the lunar calendar, and the dates on several jujube trees in Liu Junhao's yard turned red in three or five days. Heavy, densely hung with branches, thousands of meters can see a large red cloud, very gratifying.

Today Saturday can finally have a good rest at home, my wife thought about eating red dates after breakfast, Liu Junhao immediately invited Wukong to go up the tree to beat dates. Just as the fight was getting up, the group of bear children in the village didn't know how to get the news, and after a while, seven or eight came.

Yes, I can only let Wukong make more dates.

was busy in the courtyard, and Huo Jun's voice came from outside the courtyard.

He went to Liujiagou today to buy mountain goods, and by the way, he sent dust-free chalk to Liu Junhao.

This dustless chalk was specially bought by Liu Junhao from the city, and it was used by his daughter-in-law when he was in class. It's not that the chalk in school can't be used, but the dust is relatively large after writing, and it is easy to inhale the lungs.

Liu Junhao didn't care much about it before, but now his daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she naturally has to think about it. For the sake of safety, he specially asked someone to ask him about the use of dust-free chalk. Now I don't care about spending a few more small dollars, everything is based on the safety of my wife.

Zhang Qian didn't plan to use it, but she couldn't resist her husband, so she had to let him mess around.

"Xiao Hao, your dates are ripe, why don't you beat them all today? Just get me a few dozen pounds back. Huo Jun entered the courtyard and saw the red dates on the tree, and immediately screamed.

Liu Junhao listened to him, looked at so many people in the courtyard, and nodded.

A few bear children cheered and volunteered to go back and borrow a long bamboo pole hook.

Several adults stood under the jujube tree with one hand and shook it, and immediately there was a torrential rain.

The bear children went into the kitchen and took out a few plastic bowls from Liu Junhao's house to pick up dates. The hard red dates were crispy and sweet, and they shoved them into their mouths as they picked them up.

After a while, several bamboo baskets containing dates were full, and Liu Junhao hurriedly asked Professor Zhao to get two more baskets from home.

It took more than two hours to beat the dates on the tree. There were quite a few more on the trees, but unfortunately they couldn't reach them. I can only keep it for now, and wait for time for Wukong to pick it.

Huo Jun originally wanted to find a cloth bag to put dates, but after entering the house and seeing the grasshoppers in the wooden basin, he was very interested, and asked where he caught them, and wanted Liu Junhao to give him half a catty and go back to fry them.

"You caught it on the river beach, and you want to eat it yourself. There are a lot of river beaches, and they are everywhere," Liu Junhao replied.

As soon as Huo Jun heard the interest, he immediately ran to the river beach.

Catching grasshoppers seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to catch, first of all, grasshoppers have a protective color, and if you are not careful, you will miss it. And a lot of grasshoppers have amazing bouncing abilities, and if you react slowly, it will fly off your fingers. Don't use too much force when catching it, otherwise it will crush the grasshopper.

Huo Jun had never caught grasshoppers before, and he was clumsy in his actions, and it took him half a day to catch seven or eight.

In desperation, he went to Liu Junhao's house again to ask for experience, and finally simply didn't do it himself, but summoned Mao Zizi and others to help catch grasshoppers, each for a dime.

These bear children are also idle, and they are naturally motivated when they are rewarded with money. They ran to the river beach to catch grasshoppers, and it only took half an hour to catch a large plastic bag.

Huo Jun only planned to get some grasshoppers to go back to his own house to eat, so he didn't let them catch more, and stopped after collecting three catties.

Thank you, the memory card is now available, today's update is still the same, or two more.

Speaking of depression, just now I was sweating, according to the tips of my friends tried all kinds of methods all over again but did not work (my computer technology is really not complimentary), I had no choice but to call the network management to help. Who knows that people wipe the memory card with paper a few times, and then plug it in.

This can also be ...... I learned a trick, but I hope there will be no problems in the future.

Well, the second shift may be late, so let's go to bed early and wait for tomorrow.

It's not good to stay up late......
