Reeds are more popular with livestock than water hyacinth, the plant contains nutrients, fresh reed young stems and leaves, and sun-dried reed grass can be fed to cattle and sheep, but the dried reeds must be the same as water hyacinth, fermented into silage before they can be fed to cattle and sheep.

In addition, reeds have a variety of uses, rhizomes can be edible, can be used to make stir-fried stew, make reed root mung bean soup, reed root stewed chicken soup, reed root stem rice porridge...... It contains rich crude fiber, which can accelerate intestinal peristalsis and promote gastrointestinal absorption.

Reeds can also be used in medicine, reed roots are used to clear fire, reed flowers detoxify, reed stems and reed roots are important medicinal materials for the treatment of plague.

Reed rods also contain a lot of cellulose, which can be used to make paper and mats.

The residents who live in Reeddang will also make reed flutes, brooms, mats, make beds, and build houses from reeds.

The reeds are full of treasures, and the endless reeds in front of you are very exciting.

The rainfall has dropped in the past few days, and it is no longer enough to support yachts and steamships to keep going.

Rather than being forced to stop in the middle of the river, it is better to stay here for a while.

Big Black and Little Black howled excitedly, and a few brown birds suddenly flew out of the reeds.

The size is not small, it is estimated that it is at least two or three pounds.

As a forest ranger, Lu Zhifeng immediately recognized this as a very large wading bird, whose scientific name is Cannabis, and the local people generally call it Pu Grouse.

Because it spreads its wings, like a fan, and runs like a half-grown chicken.

Lu Zhifeng said happily: "Pu chickens can't fly very high, and they can't fly far, we should be able to catch a few if we go down now." ”

Shen Baoying said with a smile: "Then our dinner today will be settled." ”

Lu Zhifeng was eager to try, he knew many ways to trap prey, and he thought that it was easy to catch the puji.

Jiang Si used a telescope to observe the surrounding terrain, but he didn't see any lurking people, and he didn't find any traces of the beasts, so he fixed it underwater with an anchor.

Hold the boat in place only with an anchor, and the position of the boat will also move as the current fluctuates.

Qin Shen and Jiang Linhai jumped out of the boat, nailed a few sturdy wooden stakes around the reeds, and then tied the hull to the bollards.

After making sure that the three boats were all stopped, Jiang Si and Lu Zhifeng also went down to the reeds with animal traps, baskets, and sickles.

The reed fields are mostly soft silt, and Jiang Si wears suspender boots, which can easily harvest the reeds with a sickle.

In a few moments, they cut the reeds on half of the basket.

Suddenly, Jiang Linhai shouted in surprise: "Sisi, come and see!" ”

Jiang Si took a closer look, and saw that at the feet of Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen, there was a pile of lumps of dirt that covered the soil.

Jiang Si picked it up and sniffed, "Mushrooms? ”

Jiang Linhai nodded happily: "Well, it is a fungus that grows at the root of a reed, because it can only be found under the reed, we all called this mushroom reed mushroom when we were children." ”

Lu Zhifeng walked over and said: "Reed mushrooms are more umami than other mushrooms, I used to dig when I was a child, everyone dug too hard, we grew up, it is basically rare, and it is the most beautiful to use for stew." ”

Jiang Siyi recalled, "I seem to have eaten it when I was a child. ”

At that time, she also said why her father picked up some cow and came back.

Jiang Linhai remembered it and said with a smile: "You did eat it once, and you drank two large bowls of chicken soup at that time." He turned his head and looked at Qin Shen again: "You must not have eaten, eat more tonight!" ”

Qin Shen nodded, "Okay." ”

Walking a little further inside and cutting off the reeds, Jiang Si picked up a sack of reed mushrooms after a while.

It doesn't matter if they can't finish it, they can also bake and store the reed mushrooms.

Jiang Linhai also dug up some reed roots, put some chili peppers and stir-fried with bacon is also delicious.

When they were young, they all dug for snacks.

He wanted to taste whether it was sweet or not, but was stopped by Jiang Si, "Be careful of parasites." ”

Jiang Si privately popularized a lot of mutated animals and plants, Jiang Linhai was reminded by her, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Then go back and wash and eat." ”

There was stagnant water under the root system of the reed, and Jiang Linhai dug and dug out, digging out a very large crayfish.

Jiang Linhai exclaimed: "Sisi, look at how big this crayfish is!" ”

"You see if there is a mutation, can you eat it?"

This is just like Jiang Si must know whether the crayfish has mutated or not, Lu Zhifeng is a little strange, and thinks that Jiang Linhai should just ask casually.

The crayfish have a bright red back and blue-purple on the head and large pincers.

Jiang Si had eaten this at the end of the day, so he nodded: "It should be able to eat." ”

Jiang Linhai was happy: "The garlic crayfish made by your mother, the spicy lobster is delicious!" We'll go back later, and I'll come back and drop a few more cages. ”

"Okay."

There are a lot of crayfish here, Jiang Linhai didn't get into the cage, and he caught half a sack.

A few small tilapia were also caught from the puddle.

Seeing the tilapia jumping around on the grass, Jiang Si frowned slightly, there are fish and shrimp here, why don't you see the trace of gar crocodiles.

Could it be that there is something more terrible than the gar crocodile?

Jiang Si's heart chuckled, and he was about to ask everyone to go back to the boat first.

Lu Zhifeng, who went to set a trap to catch the puji, suddenly waved at them and shouted, his tone was indescribably happy: "I found the eggs of the puji!" ”

Everyone walked towards Lu Zhifeng, followed the direction of Lu Zhifeng's finger, and saw a nest of eggs estimated the size of ten quails through the water.

Lu Zhifeng handed the back basket to Jiang Linhai, "I'll go pick up the eggs." ”

Jiang Si stopped: "Don't go yet, maybe there's something strange in the water, tomorrow we will take the inflatable boat down, there should be more than one nest in the reeds opposite, then pick it up together." ”

Lu Zhifeng felt that it was feasible, and they had gained a lot from their trip.

I just haven't caught the cattail yet.

If you kill a chicken, there will be one less hen that lays eggs, and everyone is a little reluctant.

Jiang Chengwu, who was watching from the boat, watched them get into the reeds for a while, and shouted worriedly: "Are you back?" ”

Jiang Si raised the small red flag and waved, "I'll be back soon." ”

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from the place where Lu Zhifeng went down the trap.

Lu Zhifeng rushed over quickly, and after a while, he came back excitedly, carrying a more than two-pound pu chicken in his hand.

The feathers are very harmonious with the surrounding environment, and if you don't struggle and throw them into the grass, you can't find them.

Jiang Linhai laughed and said, "The chicken is also available, I can really have a big meal tonight!" ”

When everyone returned to the boat, Shen Baoying and the others gathered around, and when they saw so many things, they couldn't close their mouths happily.

Shen Baoying boiled water and plucked chicken feathers, Jiang Linhai did it, and the rest of the people sat in Class A to scrub the reed mushrooms and cut the reeds for feed.

Suddenly, the reeds moved with the wind, and Qin Shen suddenly stood up and looked at the dim sky, as if he had found something.
