The people take food as the sky, and since they are hungry, then eat it!

Gao Mingcheng walked down the hillside to the ditch under the mountain stream. This water is a spring in the mountains, because the difference in the terrain gathers here, the water is clear, only about half a meter deep, and the excess water flows down the ditch to other low-lying places.

The bottom of the water is paved with some stones with algae and aquatic plants, and on both sides are moist earth walls, and in the earth walls, there are some small holes, most of which are made by bullfrogs and snakes.

As soon as Gao Mingcheng appeared, he alarmed the bullfrogs in the water, and the bullfrogs hid in the water one after another, making a burst of noise.

In fact, to catch a bullfrog, it is best to come at night, take a flashlight to the bullfrog's body, the bullfrog will not move, at this time you reach out to catch, very easy to catch.

The same is true for catching frogs, which is a great way to wear snake-resistant shoes, because at night, it is also the time when some snakes are active in hunting.

Of course, Gao Mingcheng didn't plan to catch it at night, and he didn't have a flashlight as a sharp weapon. So, let's catch it now!

There are two ways to catch bullfrogs during the day, one is to find the burrow of the bullfrog and dig the bullfrog out of the burrow, but this one is easy to dig out the snake.

Another is to use bait to catch bullfrogs, and when the bullfrog is hooked, take the opportunity to catch the bullfrog in the bag.

Gao Mingcheng now has a good habit of often keeping a bag on his body, so that if he gets something good in the mountains, he can carry it in a bag.

He pulled out the bag, shook it open, and then got to work.

He didn't have a bait, so he could only catch it by hand, he first looked along the soil wall of the ditch, the bullfrog is able to make holes, the bullfrog's hole is also relatively easy to recognize, the hole is larger, the horizontal oval, and the hole is not deep, very easy to catch.

But there's also a feeling of opening a blind box, what if it's a snake and not a bullfrog inside?

Gao Mingcheng also had this concern, so he went to find a wooden stick, first used the stick to poke into the hole, and then judged whether it was a snake or a bullfrog according to the touch of the touch.

Relying on this method, Gao Mingcheng successfully caught a few bullfrogs. The ones he caught were not particularly big, only about half a catty, and those big ones had been seen from a distance before, but by the time he came down, they had long since disappeared.

But it's okay, the small ones are just as delicious as the big ones!

After catching a dozen or so, Gao Mingcheng stopped catching them, just enough for two plates, one pot for Grandma's house, and one plate for his own family to eat at night.

Because he wanted to catch the bullfrog, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and his stomach was a little hungry, so Gao Mingcheng didn't delay any longer, and after identifying the direction, he began to go down the mountain.

He walked very fast, and the movement he made alarmed the wild ducks that were lying dormant on the edge of a water weed, and the wild ducks made a cry, flapped their wings, and fled in panic.

Gao Mingcheng looked back and saw that the wild duck was hiding in the lush bushes opposite the ditch, and he was slightly surprised in his heart, in the mountains on their side, there are not many water resources, so it is rare to see wild ducks.

Since he saw the wild duck, it was a bit too much to say that he did not go to look for it, so he walked towards the place where the wild duck had been staying, pulled the grass apart, and sure enough, he found a pile of duck eggs in the grass!

The duck eggs are a little fishy, but Gao Mingcheng won't care, since he has encountered them, of course he will laugh at them!

The wild duck eggs are not as big as the domestic duck eggs, this nest is all green shells, there are a total of seven eggs, Gao Mingcheng picked up all the eggs, and there were bullfrogs in the pockets, and it was not good to put the eggs again, so he took off his coat and used it to hold the eggs.

Today's harvest is quite rich, Gao Mingcheng ran quickly, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

When I returned to my grandmother's house, it was already half past twelve, the chimney on the kitchen was smoking, and the sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen.

Gao Zhuang heard Gao Mingcheng's movement and walked out of the kitchen, the dishes were almost fried, and he didn't need to watch the fire.

"Brother Mingcheng, let me tell you, Gao Feifei has returned to her parents' house! Do you know why she went back to her parents' house? Gao Zhuang walked over with a gossipy face, but as soon as Gao Mingcheng heard the name Gao Feifei, his face became a little uncomfortable.

There was no need for Gao Mingcheng to answer, Gao Zhuang continued: "I heard that she was beaten by her husband! I also had a miscarriage! Hey, Gao Feifei has such a good personality and is hardworking and willing to work, how did she meet this kind of man? ”

"Men who beat their wives are rubbish! If I get married, I won't beat my wife! ”

Gao Zhuang swore that he was full of sympathy for Gao Feifei's experience.

Gao Mingcheng didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he blurted out: "Well, it's good if your wife doesn't beat you." ”

Gao Zhuang was anxious and said loudly: "Xiuman is not this kind of person!" Xiu Man is gentle! I went to see her in their village last time! She said that she had never been to the county to watch a movie, so I said that after getting married, I would take her to the movies and watch "Lushan Love"! ”

When it came to "Lushan Love", the tall cheeks turned suspiciously red.

Gao Mingcheng sighed and commented: "Bad intentions! ”

While the two were talking and laughing, the fine grandmother in the kitchen came out with a plate of dishes and said, "It's time to eat, Mingcheng go wash your hands!" ”

"Oh." Gao Mingcheng responded, ran to wash his hands, and Gao Zhuang also went to wash his hands, and then helped serve the food and serve the rice.

The dishes are still very rich, a plate of stir-fried rabbit meat, a plate of bitter wheat vegetables, a plate of bitter tofu, the bitter tofu has a unique flavor, every year the fine grandmother will go to pick up the bitter oak, and then after processing, make it into bitter tofu to eat.

At the dinner table, Grandma Xi said: "This bitter tofu was made yesterday, and there are still a lot of soaks in the water tank, Mingcheng, you can take some back and eat it later." ”

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded unceremoniously, the finished bitter tofu should be soaked in water, so that it can be soaked to remove the astringency, or it can be stored for a longer time, and it can still be eaten after two or three days.

After lunch, Gao Mingcheng left four bullfrogs and two duck eggs for Grandma Xi, and returned to his house with his things.

It's still early, and many beauties haven't returned from her third sister's house yet.

Gao Mingcheng put away the bullfrogs, duck eggs and bitter tofu, and then went out to see the cattle and sheep.

Cattle and sheep are grass-eating, Gao Mingcheng took them outside to eat grass early in the morning, under normal circumstances, if you put cattle and sheep outside to graze, no one will steal them, everyone is a villager, and they all know that this cattle and sheep belong to Gao Mingcheng's family.

If someone came to steal it, it must have been done by someone from another village.

Gao Mingcheng came to the place where the cattle and sheep were grazing, and found that after a morning, the grass in that place was almost eaten, so he untied the rope tied to the trunk of the tree, led the cattle and sheep to the ditch, let them drink some water, and then stayed in another place.

"Wangwang." A series of screams, it was the black tiger with the elves, they circled around Gao Mingcheng, screaming, and the surrounding atmosphere became cheerful and lively.
