Chapter 23 Prosperity
"Uncle Liu, catch a bird for me. Look how beautiful that bird is, is it a thrush?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Haoyu is as solid as a hairy child. After getting familiar with Liu Junhao, he kept asking for this and that. He didn't see a few colorful and rash birds on the lotus seed tree, and he became interested and insisted that Liu Junhao catch a few for him.
"This is not a thrush, it is a rash bird. The meat is bitter and not delicious at all. Why catch it?" This type of bird is a very stupid type. However, no one in the countryside usually catches it. The main reason why the meat of rash bird is not delicious. Perhaps it is because it often eats lotus seeds, and even the meat is hard and bitter.
"I keep it beautiful. When I get home, I bring a few of them and let my classmates see them." The little guy was still reluctant and insisted on Liu Junhao to catch birds for him.
"Okay, okay, as long as you promise me not to ride goats again in the future," Maybe a boy is born with conquest, and the little guy has a special liking for riding goats, and he has to slip around every day. The goat hides in the sheep pen when he sees this guy and doesn't come out even if he is beaten to death. He is afraid of him.
"Yeah, I promise you." The little guy nodded quickly.
Seeing that he agreed, Liu Junhao didn't care. He quickly dug several round holes the size of teacup on the flat land in front of the yard. The hole was about twenty centimeters, and then he took out a handful of old corn kernels from the house and sprinkled around the round hole. Of course, he mainly threw them into the round hole.
"Xiaohao, what are you doing?" Professor Zhao was curious to see him doing this, and couldn't help asking.
"Catch the rash bird for Xiaoyu." Liu Junhao sticks out his butt and continues to dig a round hole.
"You can catch birds this way, can you not use the internet?" Professor Zhao was a little suspicious. Could it be that if you dig two holes on the ground, the bird would not fly down and let you catch it?
"You old man, just wait and see how I catch birds for you if I don't need to use the Internet today." After that, he knocked two small and one big into the house, and then went into the house to cover the door. Several people gathered by the window and secretly watched the movements in the yard.
At first, the yard was still quiet. In a short while, a dozen reckless birds flew down from the lotus seed tree, catching corn kernels on the ground, and catching them until several round holes.
Then a situation that made Professor Zhao stunned appeared. The rash bird stretched his head down to catch the corn kernels in the round hole, but his head was heavy and he pierced into the round hole. His two claws spread across the void, and they could not reach the world or the ground. The wings were bound by the round hole and could not be expanded at all.
More importantly, the few reckless birds next to them seemed to be unresolved, and they continued to stick their heads into the round hole one by one until they were completely filled.
"Okay, now you can go out." Liu Junhao said as he opened the door of the main hall and carried an iron cage to pick up the reckless birds, just like pulling a radish, stretching out his hand.
The rash birds all have such big fists, which makes them feel a little warm to the touch.
"That's all right, this bird is too stupid, right?" Professor Zhao was still a little unbelievable.
"Or why it's called a rash bird, the only way to catch this kind of stupid bird is to catch other birds. Other birds are clever. If it snows in winter, it's okay to catch turtledoves," he said with a little pride.
The two little guys immediately began to separate the reckless birds, and then ran behind to catch grasshoppers and feed them to the birds. They mainly wanted to have fun.

Zhao Weihong did not expect that his post would have such a big impact on the 18th floor. The next day, the reply above was almost three thousand, and most of those replies were envious.
She works at the China Unicom Branch. When she is at work, several young sisters who are good at it keep asking her if the post was posted by her. After receiving a positive answer, they all agreed to go to Liujiagou for a trip next week.
What's even more outrageous is still there. In less than two days, the company's leader called her to the office and asked about her experience in the countryside last week. The company happened to be planning a tour activity this Sunday. After several leaders discussed it together, they finally decided to go to the countryside and asked Zhao Weihong to arrange accommodation issues for the company's employees first.
The leader said Zhao Weihong naturally wanted to comply. After coming out of the office, she immediately called her father with some excitement and told him about the company's rural tours, asking him to tell the people in the village in advance, free up the house, and the accommodation fee is 100 per night.
Liu Junhao was naturally happy to do such a good thing, so he immediately told Liu Guangju that at first, Liu Guangju didn't believe it, so he ran to Professor Zhao to confirm it repeatedly before contacting each household, asking families with free houses to clean up the house and prepare to welcome the city people on Saturday.
However, the impact of Zhao Weihong's post is far more than that. This week, many people in the city have been asking about the location of Liujiagou one after another. Zhao Weihong wrote the route clearly. Many people think that if you want to know how delicious the pears are, it is better to taste them yourself. They drove to the village and stayed at the villagers' homes.
The villagers were also happy to entertain. The city people were generous and could make dozens of dollars for a home-cooked farm meal. They were planted in their own fields, and those fish were not worth much. There were so many in the Dayan pond. They could catch a few fish in just half an hour, and some even brought fish with fishing gear.
This is the first time most of this group of people in the city come to the countryside and are fresh in everything. They are very interested in taking photos with their cameras, picking a few to taste, and even bringing them back in large and small bags.
Especially those people in the Wild Orchid City were more interested, and they dug up one or two plants, carefully wrapped them with soil, and prepared to get them back and plant them.
There are many wild orchids in the green mountains. Traces of wild orchids can be found everywhere in the gullies, streams, and mountain streams. These orchids are really wild. Although they are not precious species, they absorb the spiritual energy from the mountains and grow very spiritually.
Many people even became interested in farming and insisted on helping farmers grow crops. Rural people are simple. Although they know that this group of people in the city are not good, they still let them lose their seeds openly.
Of course, most of the time the villagers introduced this group of people to Liu Junhao's yard to make them wonder. The big fire that weighed dozens of pounds and the old turtle with the word "尼尼" made them amazed.
Many people were moved to buy the old turtle firehead back, but Liu Junhao refused. Now these two things have become the signboard of Liujiagou. Almost everyone has to visit and take a few photos.
On Saturday, two buses came to Liujiagou, with a total of more than 40 people. Zhao Weihong was the leader. Because he had been in contact for a long time, each family had two or three people, which did not seem crowded.
Zhao Weihong specially arranged several leaders to have dinner in Liu Junhao's yard. The authentic farm dishes were very delicious, which naturally made this group of people happy.
During the chat, many people expressed their desire to plant some land in the countryside, and wanted to pack a piece of land here: "We all have cars, so we can come here on Sunday, and some vegetables in the fields are produced and sold by themselves. If you can't finish eating, you can give them to your relatives and friends..."
This made Liu Junhao feel moved and he immediately discussed it with Liu Guangju. At first, Liu Guangju thought his brain was burnt out, and this group of city people would honestly farm in the countryside. But after Liu Junhao's analysis, he immediately nodded in agreement and asked someone to open up more than 20 acres of wasteland by the river, and then rented it out on a pergola.
Unexpectedly, once it was launched, it was popular. People from the city kept coming here to taste the freshness. They packed a piece of land, which was not expensive for 700 yuan a year, and it was completely acceptable.
Doing farm work is actually not an easy task. When you sow seeds, you have to turn over soil, fertilize, weed, and harvest them in the season. However, this group of people in the city don’t care, or fishing is better than fish. There are large areas of green mountains and clear waters here. You can experience the strong rural atmosphere by yourself, giving people an indescribable enjoyment. This is something you can’t enjoy in the busy life in the city. In more than a month, the twenty or thirty acres of land sorted out on the river beach were contracted out. I often see cars driving to Liujiagou every few days.
This result made Liu Guangju very excited. In Liujiagou, the annual income of one acre of land was only about 3,000 yuan. However, after this contract, one acre of land could be "sold" 7,000 yuan a year. Without planting it himself, the economic benefits were doubled. He immediately instructed the villagers to open 30 acres of wasteland.
The wisdom of the masses is endless. As the number of people coming to the village for tourism increases, there are villagers who are optimistic about the opportunity and open several farm restaurants at the entrance of the village to specially entertain this group of people from the city.
The eels from Liu Junhao's family also became popular with the arrival of this group of city people. The reputation was heard from one generation to another. After eating the eels from his family, the city people kept recommending them to their relatives and friends. As a result, everyone who came to Liujiagou called to eat the eels from his family and even brought two pounds when they went back.
As a result, Liu Junhao sold eels without leaving home. Two kilograms today and three kilograms tomorrow. Although they were all small money, they were still fine. After a month, he actually sold two or three thousand yuan.
He could bear to live like this, but Professor Zhao had been busy all his life, and he couldn't even stay in the countryside. When he saw the village planting corn, soybeans and other autumn harvest crops, he became anxious and asked Liu Junhao where the land was. The several acres of land that Liu Junhao divided were all planted with pepper, cumin and other crops. These things were either perennial or annual, and they didn't need to be cleaned up at all, so there was no room for him to plant.
So Professor Zhao planted all the land in the yard behind his house with vegetables, such as cabbage, pepper, loofah, pumpkin, gourd, etc., as long as the seeds were found, he even paid for it to buy more than 20 and a half-year-old little hens in the town and raised them freely in the yard.
An elderly man in his fifties and sixties was so energetic, Liu Junhao was embarrassed to be idle and followed him to help. He mainly bought half a pound of autumn watermelon seeds in the town, and then sprinkled them around the corner, and then stopped caring about it.
