When Xu Maomin heard this, he was very frustrated.
"However, loaches cannot be supplied to you in large quantities. I can supply you with something else. Didn't I tell you before, I contracted the fish pond in the village, and some fish were raised in it, and they were growing well. The black crucian carp, in particular, reproduces quickly and grows quickly. Now the black crucian carp inside has a lot of bigger palms. β
Seeing Xu Maomin's depressed face, Luo Tianwang hurriedly said.
Xu Maomin is not very optimistic about crucian carp, even if it is a wild crucian carp, the price is not high, the key is that this thing is easier to get than wild loaches.
"What does the black crucian carp taste like?"
"Yesterday we got two of them, and they felt good, no worse than loaches. The meat is quite delicate, but there are more spines. Luo Tianwang said.
"The taste really won't be worse than loach?" Xu Maomin's eyes lit up.
"I'll get two more later, can't I just try them at noon?" Luo Tianwang's enthusiasm is not very high. He didn't care if he could sell it or not, he just wanted to help Xu Maomin.
"That's good. Tianwang, I definitely don't doubt your words. I just want to taste how good this crucian carp tastes. Otherwise, I won't be able to quote you a suitable price. Xu Maomin was afraid that Luo Tianwang would be angry, so he hurriedly explained a few words.
"Even if you don't want my fish, my grandparents won't let you go hungry. Luo Tianwang smiled and didn't care.
Luo Tianwang took a fishing rod and carried a bucket, and went to the fish pond. The size of this fish pond is not small, and it looks like a small reservoir. In the past, others couldn't make money by releasing fish, and the silt in the fish pond became thicker and thicker, and slowly, it was impossible to raise fish at all. After Luo Tianwang took over, he spent a lot of money to clean up all the mud inside, and repaired it with cement around it. This fish pond can hold the water. And it is surrounded by a fence to prevent people passing by the fish pond from falling. In this way, the cost of spending is not small, and others can't afford to toss it like this.
Luo Tianwang stayed in the fish pond for a while, and then caught two black carp weighing seven or eight taels, this fish seemed to be specially selected by Luo Tianwang, and the two were about the same size.
Xu Maomin had only been sitting at Luo Tianwang's house for a while, and he saw Luo Tianwang coming back with a bucket, and he was very surprised: "Tianwang, you won't catch a fish so quickly, right?"
"The black carp in the pond may have never been caught before, and as soon as the bait is thrown down, they rush to bite the hook. There are many black crucian carp in the pond, and if you use the flowers of the fishing net, you can catch a lot. β
When cooking, Xu Maomin volunteered to make a black crucian carp, he just wanted to see how the black carp tasted. He is a connoisseur, this black crucian carp is much stronger than the average black crucian carp just by looking at the appearance, this black crucian carp is very wild, when you catch it with your hand, you can feel that its strength is very strong, unlike ordinary raised fish, it is more wild than ordinary wild fish. And the color of the scales is just perfect.
Luo Tianwang didn't care about this, Li Shishi went to the barren mountain to feed the chickens and ducks, and he didn't come back for a long time, he had to go and see where Li Shishi was doing. Don't make it smell like chicken manure.
When Luo Tianwang rushed to the barren mountain, he found that Li Shishi was filming with his mobile phone. As soon as he saw Luo Tianwang coming, he hurriedly gestured to Luo Tianwang to keep quiet. Luo Tianwang hurriedly tiptoed over. In the distance, several chicks are confronted by a weasel.
In the first few days, there were still a few fewer chickens in the chicken farm. There is not a single duck in number. Because the duck's life is very regular, basically when they are full, they go to the rice field or fish pond to stroll around to eliminate food. However, the footprints of the chicks traveled all over the range of four or five hundred meters centered on the chicken coop, and naturally went out of the range of barren mountains.
After discovering that the number of chickens had decreased, Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi searched the surrounding woods and found some remaining chicken feathers in the bushes. It seems that the missing chickens were probably eaten by weasels.
I didn't expect this thing to dare to come out to fight the idea of a chicken during the day, Luo Tianwang asked in a low voice, "What about Xiao Hei?"
"Where can this guy stay? β
"I'll clean it up when it comes back. β
"I said a long time ago, Xiao Hei is unreliable. You still don't believe it. Don't make a sound. See how chicks deal with this weasel. β
The chicks did not immediately run away in the face of the weasel, but several chicks stared at the weasel very vigilantly, chirping in their mouths. Chickens are constantly running towards these chicks, as if they are sending reinforcements.
But the weasel was not alone, and several yellow figures soon appeared around it. It also has reinforcements!
Only then did Luo Tianwang understand why the chick couldn't escape, it turned out that he was surrounded by weasels. These chicks can fly and run, and the weasel may not be able to catch up, but if several weasels cooperate, the chicks may not be able to escape.
Luo Tianwang was a little puzzled, why did the first reaction of these chicks when they saw the weasel not run away, but summon their companions?
In the beginning, three or four chicks confronted one weasel, and slowly, the number of chicks became thirty or forty, and the number of weasels became six or seven.
"Where did so many weasels come from?" Luo Tianwang was also surprised when he saw six or seven weasels. In the past, I couldn't see a few weasels a year, but I didn't expect to see six or seven of them now, and there seemed to be movement in the bushes, and the total number was more than that.
The number of chicks is also increasing, and they seem to be looking at several weasels with the same hatred.
Weasels should also be very depressed, and this situation should be something they have never encountered before. In the past, when I went to the farmhouse to steal chickens, even if it was a few catties of chickens, I would be scared by them. Chicks of such a big size are often so frightened that they shrink into a ball and let them slaughter. Now these prey are so bold that they dare to confront them.
A weasel was so angry that it squeaked viciously and rushed towards the chickens, and when it was about to rush up, it bit through the throat of one of the chickens, so that the chickens' blood spurted out like a fountain, and the chickens could be frightened into a ball, and they were still killed.
However, to the weasel's surprise, the chick was not frightened by its ferocity, but more than a dozen chicks came up together, and a dozen beaks as sharp as the tip of a knife pecked at the weasel's body. In particular, one or two chicks pecked directly into its eyes, and although it closed its eyes in time, it was still pecked by the chicken's beak through its eyelids.
"Squeak!" the weasel let out a scream and rolled on the ground.
The chickens had to ignore the weasel, and more than a dozen chicks kept pecking at the weasel on the ground, leaving countless wounds on the weasel's body. After all, the chicken's beak has a limited length, and although it gives the weasel a heavy blow, it is not fatal. The weasel rolled on the ground in agony, but for a moment he could not die.
The weasel's companion immediately rushed up and prepared to rescue his companion. But the chicks, inspired by the victory, were even bolder. Hundreds of chickens that arrived took the initiative to pounce on a dozen or so weasels, took a few weasels that were about to come up to rescue their companions, suddenly stopped, and quickly turned around and fled.
They are still more mobile in the bushes than the chicks, and with this area being their territory, they quickly use their familiarity with the terrain to get rid of the chicks. And got into the hole. When they got to the hole, the chickens couldn't do anything about the weasel. Because chicks are no match for weasels one-on-one.
Therefore, the chickens had to take all their anger out on the hapless weasel, and by the time the weasel was pecked alive by the chickens, it was already completely skinless.
"These little chicks are going to be fine. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
Li Shishi said with a smile: "The next time these chickens fight with the ducklings, I'm afraid that the only ones who will suffer are the ducklings, who will make their beaks flat?"
Luo Tianwang shook his head: "That's not necessarily. Ducklings also have their stunts. You don't want to think about it, they are so united, and besides, they grow faster than chickens, and when they really fight, I am more optimistic about ducklings. β
"I'm bullish on chicks. You see, they also know how to fight in groups now, and when they have more combat experience, they will definitely be able to defeat the ducklings. β
"Forget it, let's go back. Chicks can't fight ducklings. β
"That's right. But if we let them fight for food, we should be able to fight. β
"Isn't that right?"
"Why is it bad? If I had trained like this earlier, the chicks wouldn't have died so much. β
Luo Tianwang nodded: "Then train them every day." Let them learn how to deal with the enemy. β
When Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi returned home, the dishes were already ready. Two black crucian carp, one made braised and the other made crucian carp in milk soup. In addition, he also made some other dishes, all of which were made by chef Xu Maomin.
"It's still your Uncle Xu's good skills, Tianwang, you should have learned from your Uncle Xu at home just now. If you look at a few ordinary dishes, the chef makes them different. Xiao Chunxiu said with a smile.
Luo Tianwang smelled the fragrance of the vegetables and nodded hurriedly: "Well, it's really fragrant." But I can't learn this cooking. β
"You're just lazy. Luo Baolin said with a smile.
"Uncle Xu, you are tired, sit down and rest first and have a glass of wine. Luo Tianwang ran over and brought the dishes and chopsticks, took out a jar of sweet wine, and poured a glass for everyone. Even Li Shishi is no exception. It's not a high alcohol drink, but it tastes very good. If you don't drink much, you won't get up. It is good for the body and harmless. With a little rest, the alcohol in it can be diluted.
However, Xu Maomin still didn't dare to drink: "No, no, no, I'll drive later." It's not safe on the road. β
"It's okay, it's dessert wine. Made of glutinous rice, it has very little alcohol. I don't believe you've tasted it. Knowing that you are going to drive, naturally will not let you drink. Luo Tianwang said with a smile.
Xu Maomin took a bite and said with a smile: "Your glutinous rice wine is really good." It looks like amber, I thought it was wine. You've filtered it, haven't you?"
Luo Tianwang shook his head: "It's not filtered, it's all dissolved in it." β
