Chapter 128 Qingzhuang

After tasting braised eels, Gao Lei was really interested. No matter how big or tasted it was, the eel was said. But it was a pity that Liu Junhao did not nod after a long time of talking.

Wang Shengli, regardless of the afternoon sun, squatted alone by the pool in the backyard and studied carefully. He was eager to find out what the difference between these eels and those raised by himself.

The eels in the ditch are very wild-hearted and occasionally jump into the sweet potato field to eat grasshoppers, dragonflies, and grasshoppers. Most of them chase small fish and shrimps in the water.

He squatted for more than an hour and found out some of the reasons: it should be the feed problem. There is too much wild bait in the yard, and eels don’t have to worry about food at all. Although he also adopted this free-range model, the quality of eels finally declined because of feeding.

After finding the reason, Wang Shengli was quite frustrated. Because this pattern could not be copied, there were not so many wild insects beside the fish pond he dug. If you buy fish and shrimp as bait, the cost would be very high.

In the end, Gao Lei did not and did not persuade Liu Junhao, but when he left, he bought more than a dozen kilograms of eels in the wooden basin and prepared to go back and put them in the supermarket to sell them in the trial to see the effect.

After sending them away, Liu Junhao really began to think about the ditch in front of his door. He was eight feet away from Liujiagou Village, and even if the ditch was completely stocked with eels, no one would say anything.

The yard feeding model can be adopted here. There are so many fish and shrimps inside, and the eels are not short of bait. As long as he separates the ditch with ridges, he can at least stock hundreds of eels in this section, and the income can increase by 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in a year.

However, Liu Junhao soon woke up from his dream again. The ditch is no better than his own yard, so there are too many issues to consider.

The first thing is the issue of anti-theft. This ditch is an open space, and people come and go from morning to night. Raising eels in the ditch will definitely fall into the eyes of those who are interested.

Maybe he just put the eel seedlings in, and the thief came over tonight. He has not forgotten the fact that someone had made a fuss about his own hot topic last year. This is a lesson from the past.

Also, we need to consider water and drainage in rainy days. This ditch is not effective normally. It is the main channel for rainy season to drain rainwater in the village. I raise some lotus roots in the ditch myself, but if I use soil ridges to seal the ditch, I guess Liu Guangju will come to him and talk to him immediately.

After thinking about it, Liu Junhao had to give up this tempting idea.

Recently, the yard has become more and more lively. A few days after the rabbit came out, several green villages emerged from the duck nest. When he was putting bird eggs, he was afraid that the ducks would not hatch, but who knew it was okay. In a flash, more than half a month, these little guys hatched.

However, as soon as they came out, the ducks found something wrong, stretched their necks and pecked them all out, driving them out of Xiaoqingzhuang.

When these guys first came out of the shell, except for the sparse gray-white fluff on their heads and backs, the rest were all bare. Their calves were also very soft and they couldn't stand up at all. They could only sway left and right with their tender wings, as if they were drunk.

Fortunately, they discovered it early, otherwise they would have been pecked to death by the ducks after stopping for a few more minutes.

After putting Qingzhuang into a cardboard box, Liu Junhao was worried about them again. These little guys probably would have to spend at least one month to live. What should I do during this period?

When his eyes were on the old hen in the yard that was pecking at the chicken, his eyes lit up: I sent Qingzhuang to Professor Zhao and let him secretly put it in the chicken power at night.

"Can this work?" Professor Zhao was speechless.

"It's okay, the water duck hatched last time." Liu Junhao answered confidently.

But the development of things was not as he imagined. As soon as the door was opened the next day, Professor Zhao sent Qingzhuang over. One of them had a band-aid sticker on it, saying that it was pecked by a hen.

Since hens are not taken in, they can only raise them by themselves.

The dew was heavy in the morning and the weather was cool. Several Xiaoqingzhuang were trembling with coldness and could only squeeze into the corners of the cardboard boxes to keep each other warm.

He had to make some cotton to make a bird's nest, then put them in, and of course he also caught a lot of meat and malt from the ditch as food.

These little guys were not vague, and they screamed rattle when they heard the movement. Their voices were somewhat similar to those of the duck. When they screamed, their throats seemed to be stuck, and they were low and hoarse.

In the morning, the five Qingzhuang ate half a pound of pork and wheat shredded pork, and kept screaming. Liu Junhao was afraid that they would be overeat, so he didn't dare to feed them again in the afternoon, and he didn't get a few more fish for them until the evening.

After feeding for a few days, these Qingzhuangs grew rapidly, as big as fists. They were covered with fluff and had feathers on their wings. Of course, they were completely familiar with Liu Junhao. Whenever they heard his footsteps, they would open their long mouths and scream.

Recently, Zhang Qian has been here almost every day, constantly putting on the photos of Qingzhuang and the little rabbit, saying that she wanted to record their growth process.

Liu Junhao originally disagreed with the little things in the yard, but as they grew up little by little, a little warmth arose in his heart.

These days, either mowing grass for the red rabbit or catching fish for Qingzhuang, he has never been concerned about the situation in the stone lock. Now, looking at the flower-skin melon the size of a foreign porcelain pot, he couldn't help but knock it with his hands.

Well? The watermelon is pounding, and the ripe ones cannot be cooked anymore.

It seems that this spring water can indeed speed up the growth cycle of plants. The watermelon in the stone locks bears fruit five or six days later than outside because there was no bee pollination at the beginning, but it takes a few days in the morning when it finally ripenses.

At noon, Liu Junhao called Professor Zhao and his wife and Zhang Qian over to share the first big flower-skinned watermelon of this year.

Of course, before he took the knife, he put it on the scale and weighed it. It was 17 and a half pounds, which was more than one pound heavier than last year's.

The bright red melon flesh is as sweet as before, and there is no need to give in to everyone who is acquaintances. After Liu Junhao cuts the melon pieces, he starts eating them one after another.

After taking just one bite, Liu Junhao realized that the watermelon was a little sweeter than last year's. The bone-permeable feeling was cold to the bottom of his heart, completely dispelling the heat around him.

"Why do I think this watermelon is better than last year's?" Professor Zhao also felt it after taking a few bites.

"Yeah, that's it." The remaining two nodded in agreement.

"Maybe it was the reason why the sun was so vicious during this period." Liu Junhao had to take a sloppy eye.

"The watermelons in our yard are almost ripe, right?" While eating the watermelons, Teacher Wang remembered a few melon seedlings planted in his yard.

"It's still early, the largest one is big, and it weighs only ten kilograms. Based on the size of the watermelon in the backyard last year, it will probably take another week to cook." Professor Zhao sorted out the vegetable garden while he had nothing to do, so he was also familiar with the things he grew.

The four of them divided half a piece of watermelon, and each of them was full. This thing was both quenching heat and thirst, and after eating it, Liu Junhao was not hungry at all.

After eating watermelon, Zhang Qian ran to the house to surf the Internet. This was the time she and Su Nana had agreed to. After chatting for a few words, she remembered the big watermelon just now and hurriedly sent a few photos taken by her mobile phone to her best friend.

The photo was taken quite clearly, and the pulp of the sand ridge was particularly attractive. Just looking at the photos, Su Nana couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and she felt her throat was itchy.

"The fourth brother, let your Liu Junhao leave me a watermelon. I'll go to get it on Sunday."

"Okay, there are more watermelons in two days, and you can eat as much as you want." Zhang Qian did not refuse.

"No, I have to work overtime this Sunday." Su Nana was looking forward to the taste of watermelon, and suddenly thought of overtime, and suddenly became depressed.

"Or...or... you mail me here, I will pay the postage and the money."

"Can you deliver the mail to the watermelon?" Zhang Qian asked suspiciously.

"It should work, I'll take a look online." Yisou Post Office has really opened this business.

After Su Nana's yell, Zhang Qian's thoughts suddenly became clear. Selling watermelons online is also a good choice. The skin of this large flower is very durable and will not break if it is stored at room temperature for two or three months. There is absolutely no problem in terms of time. Moreover, it has thick skin and can withstand the weight of a person. There is no need to worry about breaking when mailing.

Thinking of this, she became interested again and sent the photos to the 18th floor to see the effect.

Sure enough, after a while, more replies were added to the photo, and most people were asking if it was the watermelon from Liu Junhao's family. Seventy percent of these people had eaten the watermelon from Liu Junhao's family last year, so they naturally still remember this big flower skin.

Zhang Qian was very proud, but she didn't expect that her watermelon was so famous. She was already known to everyone on the 18th floor.

After she replied, everyone below posted a reservation, saying that she would go to Liujiagou to pick watermelon next week.

Every time I refreshed it, the replies at the end of the post would be a little more. The more I looked at it, the more beautiful it became, and hurriedly called Professor Zhao and others to come into the house to watch it.

"Now, Xiaohao, the watermelons in the yard will not be worried about sales." Teacher Wang also sighed repeatedly.

"We can also sell watermelons online. If someone buys it, they will be mailed. What do you think?" Zhang Qian then expressed the creativity she had just thought of.

"I think it's OK, the big flower skin is resistant to falling and letting go," Professor Zhao took the lead in speaking, and Liu Junhao nodded and said yes.

"Then I put the photo on it. How much does a pound of watermelon cost?" Zhang Qian said as she opened her online store again, and there was another information on asking for pillowcases on it.

"What a panic, the watermelon is just ripe. Let's eat it at home first, and wait for the more ripe things in two days before selling it." Liu Junhao hurriedly said to stop it. In fact, he didn't want to sell the watermelon online.

Unlike pillowcases, these large flower skins can be sold out even if they are placed in the yard. Why bother to go to the post office to pick up the mailing watermelon in a hot day?

But seeing that Zhang Qian was in high spirits, he was embarrassed to pour cold water on it.
