Chapter 188
Zhang Aihua and Song Yufang looked over, and when the others heard the movement, they also subconsciously looked over.
Zhang Yiwen and Brother Qiu both shook the sticks in their hands.
There are green circles on the sticks, like freshly fished kelp from the sea.
Zhang Aihua walked over, and after seeing it clearly, he didn't think it looked like kelp, so he asked, "What is this?" ”
Zhang Yiwen said happily: "Dad, this is the grass we found in the snow, and there are rats that live around it, so big, we can put a cage to catch it!" ”
Zhang Yiwen said that he found grass and rats, and everyone was going to disperse, but suddenly they came and became interested again.
Looking closely at the grass on the stick, I found that the grass was jagged from top to bottom, and it was very sharp, "It doesn't look like a stubble grass." ”
Zhang Aihua said: "It's not a good stubble grass, we can't eat it, and rats can eat it, go catch rats and try it!" ”
"Howler!"
Everyone gathered in an instant, went to the cave and dug out the trap cage they had made, and brought some food.
More than drafting, it must be food that pleases these rats.
Everyone walked hard for a long time, but they only saw a white expanse, and they almost thought that Brother Qiu had taken the wrong way.
Of course, Brother Qiu didn't take the wrong way, but he made a mark, pointed to the deep snow in front of him and said, "This kind of grass and rats are hidden in the snow." ”
Everyone hurriedly took the stick and tried it.
The stick slammed into the snow, and sure enough, green marks were revealed.
It's quite vigorous.
I didn't see any rats, maybe I was scared away by Brother Qiu and Zhang Yiwen before.
Zhang Aihua threw the roots of the rope grass along the snow, and found that the rhizome was quite white and tender, the size and thickness of the fingers, and it looked quite delicious, which should be the food of rats.
But it wasn't easy to dig out because the snow was so deep.
If only they had Jiang Si's transport truck and shoveled it with a huge eating cart.
But they didn't, so they had to dig up a little as a snack.
Everyone put down the cage around here and waited to see if there would be any rats directly into the cage.
But after waiting for a long time, not a single mouse was fooled.
Probably there are too many of them, the taste is too strong, and no matter how delicious things are, they are not enough to make the rat excited.
The big guy can only dig up a few grass seeds first.
Song Yufang and everyone were waiting for Zhang Aihua and them to come back.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw them.
Zhang Yiwen jumped over excitedly, "Dad, did you catch the mouse?" ”
Zhang Aihua shook his head, "They are too clever, we have to go tomorrow to see if they have been caught, but we dug up some grass roots and fed them to the chickens first to see if they are okay after eating." ”
Song Yufang took it and took a look, it was small, cute and lovely, and she wanted to be a mini version of the radish.
She laughed, "It's too small, isn't it?" ”
Zhang Aihua said: "Although the small is a little small, it is a wild food, if we don't have to eat, we can also get some." ”
Song Yufang nodded, "That's what I said." ”
Zhang Yiwen is still very curious, whether the taste is the same as that of radish.
If it's the same as turnips, it's really boring.
Song Yufang chopped up this grass seed and fed it to the chickens, and the next day they were still alive, so everyone cooked a few and tasted them.
When you take a bite, it is actually a corn-flavored sweet potato taste.
Although it's a little weird, I think it's delicious while eating.
Zhang Yiwen immediately said: "Dad, get some for Mr. Qin and send them, maybe give us something." ”
Zhang Aihua smiled: "What do you want to do with this, people are big ghosts." ”
Song Yufang said: "You can indeed dig some for them, and they have given us so many things." ”
"Well, then dig some and see if you can get a few hairy rats back and raise them."
The chicken and duck seedlings Jiang Si and the others gave can only survive in caves with a suitable temperature, but this kind of rat can adapt to the ice and snow, so they can be raised casually, but I don't know, whether they eat kelp or not.
If they don't eat it, they can only wait for the next batch of radishes to be harvested, and then try to see if they can raise them.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Aihua and the others went to the place where the rope grass grew.
But one night later, the wind blew and wiped out the traces of their visit yesterday.
Fortunately, the big guys knew the approximate location of the cage, so they searched for it with a stick, and after a while, they lifted the cage out of the snow.
There are only cages that can not be entered, and each cage has about five or six hairy rats, and the big guys are quite happy, and there should be one or two pieces of meat when they are peeled out.
This kind of meat should be quite fragrant.
Wild animals are generally full of bacteria, and they can't be tried easily, Zhang Aihua remembers this.
He said to everyone, "Take it back and observe it first." ”
"Holo."
Everyone brought these hair rats back, and as soon as they arrived at the cave, everyone felt that the cage in their hands had become lighter.
Everyone put down the cage and looked, good guy, the iron cage was bitten alive, and the rats all ran away.
Brother Qiu exclaimed, "This is not a mouse, it's an iron-eating beast!" ”
Zhang Yiwen popularized science: "Generally, rodents can bite iron, and the hardness of iron is not as hard as we imagined. ”
"Okay, it's all gone, do you want to get it back?"
Zhang Aihua frowned, and suddenly realized a serious problem.
They seem to have gotten themselves in big trouble.
Will these rats steal their stockpile of salted fish food!
Zhang Aihua said: "Catch it immediately, hurry up and get out of the cage!" Catch one and kill the other, and don't let it breed. ”
Zhang Aihua was anxious, and everyone was also anxious.
Holding torches and looking around, everyone found the hair rat one after another.
But this rat has a keen sense of smell and reacts quickly.
They took a lot of effort to catch twenty of them, and it is not clear whether they were all caught.
Song Yufang said: "Just like a mouse, it shouldn't set off too much storm." ”
Zhang Aihua shook his head, "If there are no natural enemies, they can reproduce quickly, the food we reserve may not be enough for them to consume, the most terrible thing is that their teeth are too powerful, but the hamster is bigger, it can bite through the thick iron sheet, if it bites someone, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
"It's also my fault that I didn't think it through, and I didn't expect it to be so small and powerful."
Song Yufang sighed, "Then set up more traps and take a look." ”
"Maybe it was scared away on its own."
"That's good."
Zhang Yiwen said: "What's there to worry about, the natural enemy of mice is cats, we can't find cats, we can find dogs!" ”
"Let's borrow Mr. Qin's dog to help."
"If the rats spread to them, it would be even more of a threat to them."
Zhang Aihua nodded, "If it doesn't work, you can ask." ”
Only by solving it as soon as possible can we avoid the danger.
