Toad, is a local name, to be precise, should be called the Chinese forest frog, in Guangdong, Hong Kong and other places, are called snow clams. The female toad, the big guy will call the mother hug, and the fallopian tube in the stomach of this thing is called toad oil, and the scientific name is snow clam oil. Authentic snow clam oil refers to the toad oil produced by toads in the Changbai Mountain area.

Toad oil is a good thing, women eat it, it can nourish yin and liver, delay aging, and beautify the skin. When men eat it, it can resist fatigue, nourish yin and aphrodisiac, and nourish the kidneys and essence. It can be said to be an excellent tonic, and it also has a very good effect on cough caused by yin deficiency and lung fever. This thing, in the Qing Dynasty, as a tribute to the royal family, was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

Yun Xue didn't know much about these, and she didn't want to care about them. She knew that the toad in spring tasted very delicious and was a rare delicacy.

Toads belong to the amphibian class of animals, which spend the winter underwater and run out of the water to the mountains in the spring. During the breeding season, they lay their eggs in the water, where they hatch into tadpoles and then slowly turn into baby toads. Animals are more sensitive to temperature than humans, and they only come up from the water when the temperature is right. The best time for them to be in the mountains is when it's raining. These little things will come out of the water and jump up the mountain.

Yun Xue's proposal was supported by Tianfu, and when Yun Ting and Yun Lei returned home, they were also excited when they heard that they were going to catch toads at night. For children, toad meat is a rare delicacy.

In addition, once you go up the mountain, you can't grab and eat such a thing. It is said that after the toad goes up the mountain, it will eat a kind of grass called Lulian, which is poisonous, and the toad is not afraid, but the snake is afraid. When the toad eats this grass, the snake will not dare to eat the toad. There are two seasons when toads can be eaten, going up the mountain in spring and going down in autumn, and autumn is also the best season to pick toad oil.

In order to go out early in the evening to catch toads, the big guy hurriedly ate dinner, and then Tianfu went outside to find a few large pieces of good Mingzi in the firewood shed, all of which were the kind of pine oil that was particularly rich and oily.

Yun Xue, Tianfu, Yun Ting, and Yun Lei were all wearing robes and hats on their heads, and then they each held a torch made of Mingzi in their hands and walked towards the river.

Toads hide in the water in winter, whether it is rivers or lakes, even a bubble can survive, so the river in the west of the village, as well as the riverside, are good places to catch toads. Yun Xue took her younger brothers and came out of the village and arrived on the main road outside the village. If the toad wants to go up the mountain, it must pass by this road. The road surface is relatively smooth, which is easier to grasp than other places.

The big guys each held a torch in one hand and a pocket tied around their waists, and whenever they saw a toad bouncing on the road, they went over to catch it. Yun Xue and the others have all practiced kung fu, and their bodies are dexterous, so it is easier to catch the toad.

Yun Xue spotted a very happy toad that was jumping, and then held the torch in her hand and shone it over there, the toad didn't move when it saw the light. Then Yun Xue grabbed the toad, the skin of the amphibian was cold and slippery, if it was a timid person, he really didn't dare to catch it.

Yun Xue quickly threw the toad into her pocket, then tugged the mouth of the bag into her waist and continued to catch the toad.

The boys were similar, their eyes wide open, and they were all engrossed in looking for the toad.

Many people in the village also came out, and there was no food at this time, and no one was willing to let go of this thing. Nowadays, filling the stomach is the main thing, who cares about protecting animals or something.

The rain continued to fall for most of the night before it stopped. When the rain stopped, the toads stopped coming up, and the big ones were tired for half the night, so they went home.

The Yunxue sisters and brothers looked at each other, and the bags in their waists were filled with small half bags. That's a lot, and you can definitely have an open meal tomorrow. "Alright, go home." Yun Xue said happily.

When they got home, they untied their pockets, and then tied the bags so that the toads wouldn't have to run out again. Yunni didn't sleep, just waited in the house, and when she saw everyone coming back, she hurriedly made hot water, asked everyone to scrub it, and soaked their feet in hot water.

"Come, drink the ginger soup and go to the cold." Yunni came in with a small pot of ginger soup from the kitchen and asked the big guys to scoop it up. "Eldest sister, you have to pay attention the most, hurry up and drink more." Yun Xue is about to reach her little day, and Yun Ni is most worried about her.

Yun Xue drank a big bowl of hot ginger soup, scalded her feet with hot water, and felt that her body was hot, so she just lay down in the quilt and couldn't come out. "It's so comfortable." Yun Xue narrowed her eyes and said with great enjoyment.

Tianfu and they all went back to sleep, Yunni cleaned up the house, and then went to the bed on the kang. The two sisters said a few words in the bed, and then they all fell asleep.

The next day, the Han family opened the door a while later than usual, and they were tired last night, and the big guys got up late.

After breakfast, Yun Xue took those bags and looked at them, and then decided to set aside some for her own food, and then distribute some to the Wu family and the Zhong family. Other families in the village know to catch toads, but these two may not be, since they have caught a lot, let's send some over.

The sky outside has cleared, and the earth after the rain exudes a fresh breath. The land that has been moistened by the rain is full of spring life. However, the road was very muddy, Yun Xue put clogs on the outside of her shoes, and walked cautiously towards Zhong's house.

The two families were close to each other, and they arrived in a short time. Qianru was drying her son's urine mat, and when she saw Yun Xue coming, she quickly dragged her into the house. "Grandpa, grandma, Yunxue is here." Qianru shouted into the room.

"Yunxue is here, come into the house, this day, the road is not easy to walk, why do you want to go here? I'll come back when the road is dry. Grandma Zhong's voice came from the east room.

Yun Xue pushed open the door of the east house, "Grandpa, grandma, we went to catch a lot of toads last night, and I will bring you some." Yun Xue just gave the pocket to Qianru.

"Yo, that's a good thing, I haven't eaten it in a few years." Grandpa Zhong said nostalgically. "There's no young man at home, and there's really no one to catch it, Yunxue, thank you, grandpa can satisfy his cravings this time."

"As long as you are greedy, you don't ask people how much effort Yunxue went to get it back, you just want to satisfy your hunger." Grandma Zhong glanced at the old man, and then said, "How cold the rain is in spring, you are not afraid of freezing." Isn't your own body clear? You should be careful, too. "What Grandma Zhong said was naturally that Yun Xue had a cold before. When Shen was in the Zhong family, he had given Yun Xue medicine, so Grandma Zhong knew something.

"It's okay, I'm all good now." Yun Xue smiled, she knew that Grandma Zhong really loved her.

"It's good to raise it well, it's not easy for a woman to be a woman, and if your body is not good, you will suffer even more in the future. The land at home is almost cleaned up? If there's anything you want us to help with, just speak. Your family has a lot more land this time, so when you farm the land, let your aunts and sisters also go over to help. "The Zhong family doesn't have land in the village, so they don't have anything to do on weekdays.

"No, just do it slowly, this year Tianfu and I plan to spread the ground first, and then plant together. When someone could enter the field, I began to wade through the ground. "The Han family has few hands and a lot of land, so they have to prepare in advance. It can't be like last year, with the front going to the field and the back planting.

"By the way, girl, do you know that the old Han family's jade peach and jade pear ran away secretly?" Grandma Zhong suddenly remembered this and asked Yunxue. "I heard that Han Renman asked where a man named Wang Liangzi lived, didn't that person go to the mountain field with you before? Why are Yuli still involved with this person? ”

"Who knows what's going on? That day, the Han family went to me and asked where Wang Liangzi's family lived. Then listening to that meaning, it seems that Wang Liangzi came to propose a marriage before, and the Han family's housekeeper asked for a dowry of fifty taels, and this family affair naturally could not be completed. I don't know what's wrong, Yuli and Yutao ran away. I didn't tell them where Ryoko's family lived, it was better, if Yuli could really follow Ryoko, it would also be her creation. "Cloud Snow Road.

Han Ren was like a headless fly, inquiring about Wang Liangzi's house everywhere, plus their Yunfeng brothers were looking for people everywhere. So the fact that Yu Tao and Yu Li ran away couldn't be hidden. Now most of the people in the village know about it.

When everyone heard the news, they also talked about it, and they said everything. Some people said, "These two people are also suffering at home, and it is better to go out." Some people also say that the world is difficult now, and two women run out, and if they can't get it, they won't be abducted and sold.

Fortunately, the spring ploughing is about to begin, and the big guys are busy with the work in the fields, but they haven't talked about it for too long, and they forget about it.

Han Ren inquired about a lot of people in the village, and finally turned around from the wooden handle in another village, and finally inquired about Wang Liangzi's residence. At this time, it had been six or seven days since Yuli and the others had run away, and when Han Ren took the Yunfeng brothers to the Wang family, the gate of the Wang family was locked, and no one was at home at all.

I inquired about it, and said that Wang Liangzi had gone to the mountain field to tie up the wooden platoon. He was worried that his wife would have no one to take care of him, so he entrusted his wife to a relative's house.

Han Ren's father and son originally planned to come to make trouble, no matter whether Yuli was here or not, they all planned to take advantage of the large number of people to come to Wang Liangzi's side to make trouble. Unexpectedly, they encountered a big lock handle, and no matter how much ability they had, they couldn't use it.

There was no way, the father and son had to go home dejectedly, and from then on, they didn't go to Wang's house to find anyone.
