Chapter 31 Eating Crabs Live and Shrimp
Seeing that Liu Junhao agreed, Ermazi persuaded him to drink enthusiastically. Anyway, it was fine in the afternoon. He could not sleep at home when he was drunk, so Liu Junhao did not refuse too much.
The two were drinking, and Dr. Wang pushed the door and walked into the farmhouse, shouting Ermazi's wife to have a meal.
"What food should I eat? Just come and get the table together, why bother so much?" Although Ermazi is smart, she is also a condom. She is honest with others and can't tell anything about it. She brought Dr. Wang to the banquet without saying anything.
Dr. Wang is a good person. I heard that he is an internal medicine doctor at the Municipal People's Hospital. He only found out after watching the TV station's report that he came to Liujiagou. After he came here once, he fell in love with this place and specially bought some land to plant it.
Unlike other land renters, Dr. Wang comes here almost every week, and sometimes brings his wife and children. Every time he comes, he goes to Liu Junhao's yard to buy a few kilograms of eels for a tooth sacrifice. In his words, these eels are 100% wild, without any hormones, and eat them with crispy flavors, ten times better than those bought in supermarkets. The elderly and children in the family like to eat them.
Speaking of eels, although the eels from Liu Junhao's family are kept in the yard, they have never been fed anything like feed. At most, they can catch tadpoles and feed them.
These days, the egg laying period of frogs gradually passed, and the tadpoles in the puddle basically turned into small frogs. Liu Junhao was originally worried about how to find food for eels, but who knew that he didn't have to worry about this problem at all. The eels in the pool didn't seem to worry about him, and they still looked quite happy. Later he discovered the reason, that the earthworms in his yard were gradually increasing, and they were very fat, and each one was as thick as a little finger.
It is estimated that this should be the effect of the spring water. Now he was completely relieved and no longer cared about eels. What surprised him was that the number of loaches in his ditch was increasing day by day, and they were quite fat, many of which were already seven or eight centimeters long.
As loaches become more and more, the water in the ditch becomes clearer day by day. Professor Zhao told him that this is the credit of loaches. Eels like to move in the middle and upper layers of water, while loaches like to live in the middle and lower layers of water. Eat some fish and insects to live for a living. Loaches and eels can be mixed and raised more favorable and can play a role in cleaning the water quality.
This made Liu Junhao admire in his heart that nature is really a wonderful thing, and it can form an ecological cycle of balance without realizing it.
Every time Dr. Wang is busy in the vegetable field for a long time, he will sit in Liu Junhao's yard and watch him play chess with Professor Zhao, and sometimes he will point out two tricks.
Because he often buys eels, and they are very familiar with each other, Liu Junhao also offers him special discounts. He doesn't ask him for a fraction of three or five yuan each time. After saying that, he also sent some fruits and vegetables for him to go back and try it.
Dr. Wang was drunk twice and no longer felt restrained. Several people started talking about raising wild boars just now. Dr. Wang was also optimistic about this project, but he also had different opinions, that is, the scale.
If you want to form a stable sales channel, you must form a scale, because when wild boar meat is supplied to hotels, you generally need to maintain a long-term supply, and you need to invest more than 100,000 yuan in start-up capital at the beginning, which is something that ordinary people cannot afford.
However, Ermazi still insisted on his own point of view. He believed that wild boars are a novel thing for the people in the city. As long as they raise them, they will definitely not have to worry about sales. This time, they will only raise them at both ends. Anyway, the boat is small and it is easy to turn around.
Everyone was drinking, and they heard thunder rolling above their heads. Soon, the outside of the house became gloomy, and the size of beans fell down. In less than half an hour, the ground was covered with white flowers.
A cold wind came in through the crack of the door, blowing the summer of the day without a trace. There was no way to go home with such heavy rain. The three of them were playing cards in the house.
The woman who was beating Ermazi suddenly shouted: "The head of the house, our eels are running through the hall. They are running along the waterway eyes. Come out quickly!"
When Ermazi heard that he didn't care about playing cards, he put on a raincoat and took a gauze net and blocked the entrance of the waterway. The mesh of the gauze net was very small, and it was just right to block the waterway eyes at this moment.
Liu Junhao couldn't sit still anymore. He was worried that his eels would run into the hall, so he pulled a large piece of plastic cloth at Ermazi's house and hurried into the rain.
The strong wind and heavy rain were falling, and many branches in the village were broken. Some dirt roads with relatively low terrain had accumulated water as deep as their knees. Liu Junhao was panicked and did not pay attention to the road surface. Suddenly, he stepped on a piece of broken porcelain piece, and his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground, falling two yellow mud on his butt.
After cursing for a bad luck, he still rushed to the house quickly. He saw the two waterways in front of the cage door flowing outwards, and Professor Zhao was digging a trench outside the yard in a raincoat so that the water would flow faster.
"You kid is finally back. Take over the shift quickly. In a while, the water will probably flood the door." Professor Zhao saw him coming back, and handed the iron shovel to his hand.
"The eels aren't running away." He cares more about eels than the yard being flooded.
"You don't know how to see it yourself. It's really strange. At the beginning, the old man was so nervous that I used the broken basket to block the waterway's eyes, but the eel didn't escape at all. Instead, he stretched his head and concentrated under the tree. Are you wondering?"
Liu Junhao stood in the cage door while sheltering from the rain, looking into the yard, and saw that the water had risen deeper and was almost at the door of the main hall. As Professor Zhao said, those eels all stretched their heads on the water surface, and many of them even climbed onto the shore, but none of them escaped.
Seeing that the rain did not stop at all, Liu Junhao knew that it would not be a problem to continue like this. The water would probably pour into the house sooner or later. It would be impossible to drain the water by relying on two waterway eyes alone. He ran into the house and flipped out the net, then spread it at the cage door.
I'm afraid that things like mesh nets can only be seen in rural areas, and they are also a kind of fishing nets. Almost everyone in Liujiagou has the ability to weave nets, and the same is true for Liu Junhao. They can weave nets, net pockets, stick nets, and cast nets.
After fixing the net, he vigorously lifted the bluestone slab under the cage door and moved it outward. The young man was so excited that he gritted his teeth and moved the bluestone slab away. Suddenly, the rushing water rushed out of the cage door and spread out of the yard.
"Hey, the fish on the water" did not expect that the eels in their home did not run away, but instead led the other fish in. I saw a crucian carp with chopsticks rushing upward along the water flow, and rushed to the road inadvertently, constantly jumping in the mud and water.
When Professor Zhao saw this, he hurried over in the rain and picked up the crucian carp.
"Uncle Zhao, you'd better go into the house to rest. The rain is so hot, don't catch a cold." Liu Junhao hurriedly persuaded him.
"It's okay, it's okay, the old man is not as expensive as you think." Professor Zhao waved his hand indifferently. He asked Dr. Wang, who came here to check his health a few days ago. Dr. Wang also praised his good health and had no problems at all.
After a while, a few more crucian carp came up. Professor Zhao ran over and caught them all. He even made a few crabs flowing up the water and half a bowl of white-skinned river shrimps. The river shrimps were only as big as a finger, and the shrimp shells were crystal clear. Liu Junhao looked itchy, so he pinched one casually, removed the shrimp head, peeled the shrimp body, and put it in his mouth to chew it. The white and tender shrimp meat tasted a bit fishy, but it was very tender and smooth in his mouth, and the taste was very delicious.
"You kid is a livestock, why does it taste raw? If you want to eat it, I'll fry it later in the evening." Professor Zhao was stunned.
"You don't understand this." Liu Junhao smacked his lips, took out a river shrimp and made it in his mouth and chewed it. "'Eat crabs and eat shrimps alive.' This river shrimp is more fragrant when eaten raw than fried. If you don't believe me, try it."
"Really?!" Professor Zhao has eaten many things that he had never heard of before these days, and has already gained a certain degree of immunity. Seeing how delicious Liu Junhao was eating, he couldn't help but peel one and put it in his mouth.
"Um!" He felt a little bit like vomiting after taking a bite, but then a scent of fragrance spread in his mouth. He swallowed the river shrimp into his stomach without chewing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a bit fishy, but breathable, and a little fragrance, which makes it taste good in his mouth."
