Chapter three hundred and forty-eight

It was not until after six o'clock in the afternoon that the talents in the courtyard gradually dispersed.

Pang Xu sat under the shade of the tree, drinking iced watermelon juice, with a very comfortable expression. After a long time, this guy sighed: "The more you look at you, the more angry you are. Grandma, what kind of life are you? You are happier than a pig."

Knowing that this kid was jealous, Liu Junhao smiled and said nothing. He was still thinking about his own animals on TV. It is certain that after the show was broadcast, tourists in Liujiagou will reach a new level. The animals in the courtyard will probably become celebrities, and even his master will become famous in the future. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. For Liu Junhao, living a low-key life and being a human being is the king.

In fact, he didn't know that in the minds of tourists, the name Liu Junhao is not less famous than that of his family's animals. Basically, tourists who have visited will say when they go back to introduce themselves to others: "There is a young man from Liujiagou who raises eels and grows watermelons, and his family's local honey is also awesome. If you have time to pass, you must try it."

Look at the time, it’s almost time to make dinner. Liu Junhao planned to go to the backyard to make some eels and stir-fry them. Who knew that several people unanimously opposed it. He said that he had eaten so much fruit in the afternoon. Now he doesn’t want to get oil and gas at all, so he makes some light. Pang Xu even shouted that he would cook a cucumber when he was on the cold.

These people... don't treat themselves as guests, and they don't even know how to enjoy so many delicious foods. But if they want to be simple, Liu Junhao will naturally be willing to save trouble.

He picked cucumbers from the backyard. He planted them late and was able to eat them just now.

Last fall, Liu Junhao kept a lot of cucumber seeds. He originally planned to eat more in the next year and wait for the summer to be a vegetable. Thinking that there were no mice in his yard, he didn't deliberately clean up, but just threw them into the cabinet. As a result, he was busy in spring and forgot all the things that had cucumber seeds left. When he remembered again, he found that the bag of cucumber planting was empty. At that time, Liu Junhao was puzzled and thought that his wife had nothing to do to eat melon seeds. The cucumber seeds tasted very well after drying them. Who knew that Zhang Qian had never moved at all. The two of them guessed that it must be a monkey who ate it secretly, and it was not unfair to it. After all, this guy has a criminal record.

Liu Junhao groped his pocket several times, and finally poured out a few pieces. He was afraid that he would be pulled away by a monkey in the front yard, so he scattered the melon seeds in the back yard. The spring water moisturized, and the cucumber seeds grew very well. The cucumbers that were born with thorns looked green and lush and watery. When you pinch them with your hands, you would make you feel salivation in your mouth. It seemed that you would slap them in the garlic juice and mix them with cold dishes. It was also very good, and add some sesame oil. The taste was... amazing.

"I'll try one..." As soon as the cucumber was picked into the front yard, Pang Xu took one without hesitation. He didn't need to clean it. He wiped the frost on it with his hands and started eating it. He also praised it while eating: "Well, it's delicious." It's not that he is not hygienic, but that he has blind confidence in the things planted in Liu Junhao's courtyard, knowing that others don't use medicine at all, and cucumbers are completely green food.

When the monkey saw this situation, he was fussy and wanted to eat it. However, Liu Junhao said he would not give it anything. He picked so many pieces and it would not be enough to keep sharing it like this.

He cooked cucumbers in the kitchen, and Zhang Qian also went to Professor Zhao's yard to pick a handful of amaranth, and prepared to cook it with boiling water later.

Cut cucumbers into slices, mix amaranth into shreds, pickled toon, cooked salted eggs in half, rosy egg yolks flow out of oil, snow-white steamed buns and a pot of thick mung bean soup... The gathering of heroes, although it seems simple, makes people feel very appetizing.

After a long time in the afternoon, the few people were hungry, so they were not polite to each other and picked up their chopsticks to pick them up.

"I found that all the dishes have become delicious in your hands." Xu Xiaoli picked up two chopsticks and tasted the cucumber, and couldn't help but praise it. If you want to say that the cucumber tastes different, and it is cold and crispy in your mouth, and it tastes even more amazing with sesame oil. At this time, take a sip of mung bean soup... The taste seems that the summer heat of the whole day disappears with the delicious meal.

"Haha, the main reason is that the ingredients are good. My cucumber only uses some soil fertilizer, and no other fertilizer is useful." Zhang Qian said modestly.

I originally thought I couldn't finish drinking that big pot of mung bean soup, but I never thought it was just right.

After a full meal, everyone continued to sit under the grape trellis and chat.

"Wukong, pick some grapes for me." Pang Xu looked up and saw that the grapes on the tree were very watery, and immediately felt appetite.

"Zhizi" When the monkey heard this, he immediately rushed onto the shelf and picked half a bunch of big grapes and handed them over.

"Give it, this is a reward for you." Seeing that Wukong was very sensible, Pang Xu excitedly stuffed two pills into the monkey's claws.

"Zhizhi" the monkey said nothing and handed it back to him.

"Your monkey's awareness has improved, and he has learned to be humble." Pang Xu sighed very much.

This guy, let you know what true "humility" is. Liu Junhao suppressed his smile and said nothing. He had suffered a loss in Wukong at the beginning, so it would be better not to eat something that this guy doesn't touch.

"Um...I x" Pang Xu's reaction was no different from his last time, and he jumped up from the chair.

"Squeak" the monkey screamed excitedly from the side.

"What kind of ghost grape is this in your house?" After a long time, Pang Xu's tongue regained consciousness.

"My grape is a late-ripening variety, and it usually does not mature until mid-August." Liu Junhao explained with a smile.

"Why don't you remind me? You must have done it on purpose." Pang Xu shouted hatefully.

"That's because you have poor observation skills. Didn't you touch Grape Wukong at all if you didn't see it?"

"I overestimate the monkey's awareness," he answered quite depressedly.

As he was talking, suddenly the scream of "Gu'er...Gu'er..." came from above his head.

"What bird is chirping?" Xu Xiaoli turned her head and looked at the tree for a long time but couldn't find where the bird was hiding.

"Red-mouthed Jade" Liu Junhao replied without looking at it.

"You know if you haven't seen the bird?" Su Nana asked slightly surprised.

"This guy is a bird man. He can guess what kind of bird he is by listening to the sound." Pang Xu explained sourly. He envied Liu Junhao very much. This is called ability.

"Really, why can't I find where the bird is?" Su Nana looked at her voice and her eyes were sore, but she didn't see which branch the bird was on.

"Haha, this bird is too small, similar to a sparrow, not as big as a poplar leaf, you will definitely not find it on the branches of the poplar tree." Liu Junhao replied with a smile, then pointed to the tree and shouted, "Wukong"

After the monkey got the order, he immediately rushed to the tree and chased it. In less than a minute, he saw a little bird with a brown back and yellow chest flying from the tree. However, the guy had just flew less than a meter, and then he hanged it under the tree with a backward green onion.

"What is this trick?" Seeing the little bird pounce on the fan under the tree, several people asked in wonder.

"This..." Liu Junhao was also stunned. He really couldn't understand what the red-mouthed jade was doing. Faced with the monkey's threat, it did not escape.

"There may be a bird nest above, it is protecting the bird. Hurry up and let Wukong come down..." Zhang Qian speculated.

"Impossible, there will be no bird nests on it." Liu Junhao denied it. He knew the red-billed jade too much, so it was impossible for this guy to make nests on poplar branches. Their nests are usually built in bushes. They are very short from the ground, not even a person tall. It is easy to dig out such bird nests, and children can reach them on tiptoe.

Wukong didn't know what he was doing, but he saw it groping on the branch for a while, and the bird screamed and fell into its claws.

The guy caught it in his hand, immediately went down the tree and ran to the master to show off.

Liu Junhao found the reason after he took it. The bird had a thin thread tied to his legs. It seemed that he had been caught and escaped. He had struggled on the tree for a few minutes and had not flew away. It should have been that the thin thread was hanging on the branches, otherwise the monkey would not be able to catch it.

The bird's legs were tied into the flesh by a rope. Zhang Qian stretched out her hand and touched it immediately, and it immediately tiptoed and claws. It was obvious that the leg was injured.

It happened that the bird cage that Huo Jun sent the swiftlet was still there a few days ago. Liu Junhao cut off the rope on its leg and stuffed it in, preparing to wait until the red-mouthed jade is recovered before letting it fly.

"This bird is pretty. I didn't expect that an unknown bird in Liujiagou is so distinctive." Pang Xu looked around the bird cage and immediately realized the extraordinaryness of the bird. The upper body is green and brown, with a few pale yellow spots on his head and a yellow belly, giving people a small and delicate feeling.

"Haha, you are wrong. This bird is very famous and is a famous love bird." Zhang Qian explained with a smile.

"What bird...mandarin duck?"

Liu Junhao was speechless to him. He really dared to guess. Is there a mandarin duck who grew up like this? This kid rarely goes to the forum to watch online, otherwise he would not have known such a famous bird.

"Red-mouthed Love Bird?" Su Nana conjectured it based on the name just now.

"Odd" Liu Junhao nodded.

"Is this the legendary red-billed lovesickness bird? Liu Junhao, give me the bird cage when you leave and take it back to raise it. This thing is much easier to raise than bamboo rats. It eats very little, and it can eat a steamed bun for a week." When he heard that it was a famous bird, Pang Xu immediately became interested in raising it again.

"Don't give up this idea as soon as possible," Liu Junhao shook his head repeatedly, "This bird is not easy to raise. Its intestines are very short and easy to digest. Do you know how they raise it? They mix eggs with millet every day, and they also have to feed fruits, berries, insects, and lamb foam. In addition, it is cleaning. The cage must be cleaned every two or three days, and at the same time, they must bathe it..." In the past, when he was in junior high school in the town, a history teacher raised two red-mouthed lovebirds. It was strange like a baby, and he caught insects on campus every day, so Liu Junhao was very familiar with it. However, if this bird is really mature, it is also very interesting.

"Is this raising birds or raising ancestors?" Pang Xu asked in amazement.

"What do you think, you have the same temperament that you will die within three days of getting the bird back. For the sake of this guy's life, I dare not give it to you no matter what I say."

"If you don't raise it, you won't raise it. If you keep a pet this time, you must keep it that kind of pet that you won't die if you don't feed it for ten days and half a month." Pang Xu said suddenly, his eyes were the same here, "By the way... I'll get two of your little old turtles? It's not a problem to keep this."

This is the truth. Old turtles are famous for their greed and hunger resistance. After eating food once, they will not die if they don’t eat for a long time. If they get a few young turtles for this guy, it will probably be difficult to raise them to death.

There were two old turtles that were big in the yard, but these two guys were the kind of dragon who had no heads and no tails. They only occasionally saw them appearing under the shade of trees in the afternoon, and they were hiding in the backyard at other times. A few days ago, when the hairy child went to the backyard to pick watermelons, he accidentally found several old turtles swimming in the ditch. He hurriedly called Liu Junhao to check it out. Several people speculated that they should be descendants of the turtle with a character named Shou, so they searched along the yard and finally found a pile of broken turtle shells in the grass at the base of the wall.

The naughty child was a big mouth. When he went to the village to promote it, many people knew that Ermazi came to ask for it that afternoon and said that he wanted to build a water tank in the yard to raise two. Liu Junhao was quite puzzled at the time. If this person wanted to catch turtles, he could go to the river beach to find it. Then it took two days to catch several.

But Ermazi's answer made him laugh and cry. People said that his old turtle is a wealthy turtle, which is different from the one on the river beach.

Hearing his arguments seriously, Liu Junhao nodded and agreed to wait for the old turtle to grow up to get two for him. Anyway, there are so many old turtles in his stone lock, and these two are not bad.

Now that Pang Xu wants it, he naturally won't refuse.

"Liu Junhao, actually I think it's good to set up an old turtle farm in your backyard. Anyway, one sheep needs to be put in, and a group of sheep will also be rushed. Adding some breeds can increase the income." Xu Xiaoli suddenly interrupted.

"Haha, if there are too many old turtles, it is probably going to be caught blindly. This thing can be eaten with eel seedlings." Liu Junhao shook his head repeatedly. He had thought about this before, but after referring to the old turtles in the stone lock, he knew it would cancel the plan.

It’s strange that other aquatic creatures in the spring water grow rapidly and can be sold in three to five months. But this turtle with a character named "Shou" is very strange. The second generation of "Shou" turtle with a character named "Shou" has been raised for two years, but it has not weighed a pound yet. He has understood that the old turtle can only eat but can gain meat. If it continues like this, it will definitely lose money.

He is now a little doubtful whether it is like the peach tree, the old turtle and the spring water are in conflict.

As the sun sets, the heat completely disappears, and purple-red fire clouds rise in the sky. When Su Nana and Xu Xiaoli see this scene, they immediately took out their cameras and took photos.

Zhang Qian has seen it more often, but she feels that the scenery is very ordinary.

As the night fell, Liu Junhao turned on all the two high-pressure lights in the backyard, and the yard became lively. The eels and stone chickens had now formed a conditioned reflection to the light, and they rushed to wait. In less than five minutes, a large area of ​​the ditch had already gathered in black.

"This scene should make reporter Guo add some materials." After seeing the lively scene in the backyard, Pang Xu sighed again.
