Chapter two hundred and eighty
"What did you say... This is a giant salamander fry?" When Ermazi pointed out the name of the "fish" in the wooden basin, several people were a little stunned.
This thing is so different from the giant salamanders they saw. No matter how you look at it, you will feel like a bigger tadpole... As for giant salamanders, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any clues from them.
"Well, Guangxi is right. This thing is the seedlings of giant salamanders. Generally, they can only see the shape difference when they grow more than ten centimeters," Professor Zhao explained at the interface later.
Feelings... Mr. Zhao has long recognized it.
"I still want to be a giant salamander fry to be difficult for me. I don't know how many things you do. In the past, there were so many giant salamanders in the mountains in Liujiagou. When we were young, we would take the net to catch them when we were idle. Every time we would build a washbasin to feed the chickens. The old hens liked to eat this thing and would lay eggs even after eating it."
You are right, using giant salamander to feed chickens, not only Liu Junhao and the others, but also Professor Zhao's head was sweating. It seems that giant salamander is much more expensive than chickens. Now a fish fry is worth several hundred yuan, and a chicken costs at most 100 yuan, whichever is more or less...
"I didn't know at that time that this thing was expensive and heavy. Now it's too late to find out." Ermazi explained a little, and then asked, "Did you catch these giant salamanders from the Paoma Creek?"
"Uncle Guangxi, do you know there are dolls and fishes there?" After hearing this, Liu Junhao immediately realized that the Paoma River was the mountain stream they passed by in the morning. People usually don't call it the name.
"What do you think," Nimazi asked back.
"Then you..." Liu Junhao wondered. Look at the expression of others, it seemed that he had known that there was a giant salamander inside. Thinking about it, he and Professor Zhao could find it by just going up the mountain. Why didn't anyone in the village notice it? However, Ermazi's actions just now seemed to want him to send the giant salamander back quietly.
"There are fewer and fewer things in the mountains. We can keep some for the younger generation. Let's keep some. Otherwise, in more than eight years, I'm afraid that even a mouse will not be able to see it." Ermazi sighed and said. When he went up the mountain to pick mushrooms last autumn, he found giant salamanders in the stream, but he was afraid of attracting others to poach, so he didn't make any statement.
Feelings... Other people's awareness is not low. Liu Junhao found that he really underestimated Ermazi. He could keep secrets better than himself. It was almost half a year since the information about the giant salamander was not revealed at all. On the contrary, he had only been spreading three or four people in just a few days.
This is true for Ermazi, and so is Liu Wuye. In the older generation of Liujiagou, people may not regard those wild animals as much as they are important in their hearts. Or they sing high-profile saying that they are friends of humans and we should protect them.
But they all have a simple idea, that is, don’t clean up the things in the mountains, and leave some things for future generations.
This is the real Daqingshan Mountain people. They know what they should ask for and protect from the mountains.
Finally, Professor Zhao asked about the situation when they found the giant salamander fry, and Liu Junhao naturally explained the story in detail.
"Then the entrance of the spring must be a cave. There should be many giant salamanders in it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many little giant salamanders rushing out of the cave." Before Professor Zhao could speak, Ermazi had already reached the conclusion.
Seeing that it was getting late, Pang Xu and his wife also planned to return. Zhang Qian wanted to raise the bamboo rat, but later she couldn't stand Xu Xiaoli's soft temper and gave it to them. She mainly considered that there were a lot of this thing on the mountain, and if she wanted to raise it in the future, she would have the chance.
As for the giant salamander, they will be placed in a wooden basin for the time being, and they will be ready to be released into the mountain stream when they have time tomorrow. It is said that they are free to grow, but Liu Junhao has already made plans to raise it in the stone lock first. After all, they are too small and have no ability to protect themselves. If they are released back into the mountain stream and are targeted by water birds and mice, then the designated play will be done.
Peach blossoms are pink, pear blossoms are snow-white, rape blossoms are golden... In addition, flowers such as red mountain, dandelion bloom one after another. In short, Liujiagou is full of flowers in March and April.
The spring is warm and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. The animals in his yard are completely lively, especially the bumblebees, who are busy all day long. In less than a month, they have collected more than three kilograms of honey. After giving some to Professor Zhao's house, they will take all the rest of the plan to return to Zhang Ma when they return to May Day.
It was very lively outside, and the same was true inside the stone lock. There were dots of stars, balls of wild flowers blooming. When you walked closer, you could see the stone chickens the size of fingernails jumping among the grass from time to time.
Under the nourishment of spring water, their growth rate is obviously much faster than that of the outside. Those who have just grown their back feet in the backyard have all their limbs and their tails are almost gone.
When they grow up, they are all money, and Liu Junhao is becoming more and more careful, for fear of stepping on the stone chicken inadvertently.
As soon as they walked to the pond, they alarmed several old turtles lying on the pile of sand and drying. When they saw that there was any movement, they immediately rolled and crawled back to the water.
The spring water was warm, and Liu Junhao squatted by the water and slapped it a few translucent river shrimps in his hands. He ate crabs raw and ate shrimps alive. This river shrimp was the time to eat. He removed the shrimp head, peeled the shrimp body, and chewed it in his mouth. The taste was very delicious.
I was thinking about what dishes to eat for lunch, just now, just fried river shrimp.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao picked up his net bag and pulled it up in the pond. Soon, he caught half a bucket.
When he was about to come out of the space, he remembered the serious business. He came in to cut fine hair and weeds. A tourist came here two days ago and specifically told him to help knit a pillowcase and make some wild chrysanthemums to make pillows. People were anxious to send them away.
Last year, there were not many fine hair grasses in the stone locks, but after a year of growth, they spread completely on the sandy land. Apart from wild chrysanthemums, they are mostly.
He brought the river shrimp and fine hair grass to the backyard. As soon as he took a breath, Liu Qiyong entered the yard with a handful of schizonepeta. The schizonepeta is a bit bitter, and Liu Junhao didn't like it, so he didn't sow seeds in spring. But Zhang Qian liked it. Last time he saw Liu Qiyong's wife picking in the vegetable garden, he picked it casually, but he never thought that he would come to his house today.
"Uncle Xiaohao, this is the shrimp you just caught. Get some for me. There are guests at home at noon." After sitting for two minutes, Liu Qiyong stared at the river shrimp in the bucket again.
"It's okay, you can get the best you eat." It's not bad to do it. I caught a lot of river shrimps, so I happened to send some back for someone to taste it.
After asking for the river shrimp, Liu Qiyong did not leave, but continued to sit there and chat.
As he was talking, Wukong ran back with a handful of mulberry leaves.
As soon as the monkey saw the owner, he immediately squeaked forward and offered treasures.
This guy asked him to pick mulberry leaves in the morning and he has only come back now. He must have gone crazy somewhere.
Putting the mulberry leaves on the stone slab, Wukong turned over and returned to the house and struggled to move out the cardboard box for raising silkworms.
"Do you still have silkworms?" Liu Qiyong thought that the monkey was carrying something, but turned his head and found that there were spring silkworms inside.
"Well," Liu Junhao nodded, "I'm idle at home and asked how many kids I've asked for. Anyway, I've raised them when I was a child, so it doesn't take much effort to raise them. Do you want them? I have so many of them. If you want them, I'll get you a few and have nothing to do when I go home and keep them for fun."
"What do I want this thing? I'm such a big man, how can I talk to a child..." Liu Qiyong couldn't continue to say halfway through this. It seems that Liu Junhao is a few months older than him. Isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald?
So he followed again: "I didn't say anything to you..."
Khan, Liu Junhao was also embarrassed to hear that. He had known that he would not let Wukong take out the silkworms. In fact, almost all adults felt that raising silkworms was a bit inappropriate.
He explained embarrassedly: "I'm just doing it when I'm fine..."
"I know, you have a lot of free time." Liu Qiyong nodded, feeling a little envious. Whoever has a life, the villagers mentioned Liu Junhao and said that they are lazy and have a blessing.
Seeing that the master did not take action, Wukong picked up the cardboard box and flipped it on the stone slab. It was so rumbling that the silkworm sand, mulberry leaves, and all the white and fat spring silkworms fell on the stone slab.
"Gugu" When the greedy turtle dove saw the insect, it immediately flapped its wings and flew over.
The monkey danced his paws and drove away several times, and finally drove the turtledove away.
The guy put the newly picked mulberry leaves into the carton, then stretched out his fluffy claws and pinched the silkworms into the carton one by one.
"Tsk tsk, your monkey is really in vain..." Liu Qiyong couldn't help but praise a few words when he saw Wukong replacing mulberry leaves for silkworms. Although he had seen monkeys playing tricks before, he was still a little surprised when he saw this.
"Haha, this guy likes to learn from others." Liu Jun said that he was humble, but he was quite proud. Speaking of which, Wukong gave his master a lot of faces. Take this silkworm raising for example. He only followed him and learned a few times. Now the task of picking mulberry leaves and feeding silkworms is given to it.
Of course, this also requires the monkey to be interested. If you say something that is not interesting, it won’t do anything, or it will make trouble on purpose.
Before leaving, Liu Qiyong expressed his intention... His wife wanted to buy a few ducks to raise, so she asked him to come over and ask if it was OK. When talking about the chickens and ducks from Liu Junhao's family, no one in the village was jealous.
The hen can grow to a maximum weight and is very fat. Therefore, basically every hatched chicken now buys eggs from him.
The chickens hatched and grew very fast. Liu Wumi once made a special comparison. When the hens were holding their nests at home, she bought more than a dozen eggs from Liu Junhao, and then accompanied the seven or eight eggs produced by her own hens.
As a result, the difference can be seen when the chick is born. In the past ten days, the chickens in his own family are one round smaller than those they got from Liu Junhao.
Liu Qiyong's wife wanted to raise some ducks. She originally planned to buy ducks on the street, but when she thought that there were ducks in Liu Junhao's family, she was moved to the idea of buying two old ones. The other person's one is different from other ducks, and she can hatch eggs by herself.
