Chapter 403 Eating Grasshoppers

The autumn air is cool

Liu Junhao held the red rabbit in his hand and led two yellow skins and Wukong down directly to the river beach. After arriving at the place, he spread the red rabbit and let it stroll by the river. Anyway, there were no crops nearby, so it would be fine tossing.

He found a clean place and sat on the grass with this book in a daze.

Wukong stayed by his master's side for a while and felt that it was meaningless, so he caught the grasshopper and fed the starlings on his own.

The grasshoppers in autumn will not last a few days, and this is not true at all. Now the grasshoppers are about to lay eggs, and they are big and fat. Especially the "old shoulder poles" and "bandit leader", each of which is long and has a lot of weight in their hands.

The book could not be read at all. Liu Junhao started to fall asleep after turning two pages. He simply closed the book, moved his neck a few times and looked up at the scenery around him. September is the season of harvest, and the sky is very blue and pure, which is amazing. The white clouds above his head are stranded like neatly arranged scales.

Looking into the distance, the White River was like a soft ribbon wrapped around the reed marsh on both sides of the river slowly flowing into the distance; the trees on the mountains farther away showed pale yellow colors, and occasionally a few trees were bright red; the crops in the fields became more and more green, as if they were about to seize the end of the season and make a frantically crazy.

Liu Junhao missed a few poems to express his feelings, but he racked his brains to think for a long time, but he didn't think of a single word that suited the situation.

Instead, a sentence emerged, "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands." The next two sentences can't be thought of... The little knowledge in the textbook has been handed over to the teacher.

Alas, it seems that I really don’t have the talent to be a poet.

When did your buddy become sentimental? Liu Junhao no longer thought about those two lines of poetry and began to close his eyes and rest.

After a while, the monkey had half a bag of grasshoppers in his hand. The guy ran to his master excitedly to show off. Liu Junhao was impatient with being harassed, so he had to get up and tie the plastic bag, then took out another plastic bag and handed it over.

These plastic bags were originally picked up chrysanthemum lotus, but are now requisitioned by monkeys.

Seeing the monkey busy in front of him, Liu Junhao remembered the scene of catching grasshoppers when he was a child. In the past, when catching grasshoppers, they always connected the dogtail grass: clenched the grasshopper with his left hand and broke the grass head down, pinched the grass stem with his right hand and penetrated it upwards from the bottom of the grasshopper's back, and directly tied the film on the neck and saddle, and then penetrated it from under the head. Then pull it to the bottom of the dogtail grass, and the grasshopper would be blocked by the dog's tail without picking it off.

Just wear one by one, and you can wear a large string in just ten minutes. Sometimes you can catch seven or eight strings in an afternoon, and you can hold all the things in your hands. The big green and yellow ones look very fulfilling.

Sometimes the bandit leader with a very strong spirit would kick off the string, kicking off the grasshopper body he had put on before, leaving only his head hanging there alone.

Liu Junhao also summarized his experience in catching grasshoppers. It is best to find grasshoppers when the sun is about to set. At that time, the dew had already fallen, the temperature in the fields was relatively low, and the grasshoppers' mobility was greatly weakened. They often crawl on branches at this moment.

Early the next morning, when the sun was still showing, I looked at the short branches on the roadside and found grasshoppers everywhere. They were lying there and were very honest and could pick them down directly.

But these are all things when he was a child. He doesn't have the leisure time at all now and would rather lie down and bask in the sun than move.

The weather this summer is dry, which is very suitable for grasshoppers to survive. The river beach is full of them. In just over two hours, the monkey has filled two and a half-sized plastic bags. Liu Junhao weighed it with his hand and it was more than two pounds.

With so many grasshoppers, it is estimated that the two starlings can eat them for half a month.

Seeing that it was getting late, he took the Red Rabbit and walked back along the way. Wukong was still following his master at first, but soon disappeared. When he saw it again, the guy was holding a corn cob and chewing it. I don’t know whose plot it broke.

"Zhizhi" When he saw the owner, the guy excitedly raised the jade wooden stick.

Liu Junhao reached out and took it and pinched it. He found that the corn kernels were already hard. It was just when they were cooked and it would be less delicious after a while.

Seeing that other people's corn was about to mature, Liu Junhao remembered the more than 20 plants in his home. Now it was time to cook and eat it.

In previous years, the villagers gave him tender corn to eat, but the couple who always ate the family was embarrassed.

When planting sesame seeds this year, Liu Junhao sprinkled his own corn kernels from chickens and ducks into the depression at the back wall of the backyard.

At first, the corn seedlings grew very well, but once in the summer it was raining heavily, he forgot to open the waterway eye in the backyard. As a result, the yard was filled with rain. After the water was drained, he found that most of the corn seedlings had been drowned.

Seeing that they were half dead, Liu Junhao simply stopped caring about them and just pretended that they had never planted them.

Who would have thought that these corn seedlings had strong vitality, and more than twenty corns came alive, and they were getting taller and taller. The corn cobs they have now grown are thirty or forty centimeters long.

If these more than 20 corns are ripe for the cob, they can make more than ten kilograms of corn, and they will not work at all. Therefore, Liu Junhao did not intend to make them mature, and was ready to cook them and eat them directly, which was enough for the couple to satisfy their cravings.

When she got home, Zhang Qian was already sitting in the yard eating grapes. When she saw her husband enter the yard, she said hello lazily, and then screamed "ah".

Liu Junhao was shocked and thought his wife was nervous.

"Husband, this is the grasshopper you caught. Why don't we fry the grasshoppers tonight and eat it?"

Since Zhang Qian became pregnant, she always wanted to eat something fresh. Now when she saw those two bags of grasshoppers, she always had a kind of** I really wanted to eat.

Grasshoppers are all caught on the river beach, and there is absolutely no pollution, so it is OK to eat them when fried. However, what Liu Junhao is worried about is whether pregnant women can eat them.

Now all actions are mainly based on your wife. When Zhang Qian wants to eat fried grasshoppers, he immediately checked the information online. Since his wife became pregnant, Liu Junhao had to check online whether the pregnant woman should avoid food when she cooked almost every meal.

Well... The grasshopper is rich in protein. It is okay for pregnant women to eat it, as long as it doesn’t matter.

However, the newly caught grasshoppers cannot be fried yet. They need to be hungry for a day before they are cleaned up.

Liu Junhao was afraid that he would suffocate the grasshopper to death after a long time, so he did not dare to delay it. He poured the grasshopper into a wooden basin early. Of course, in order to prevent the chickens and ducks in the yard from stealing food, he specially covered the basin with two window screens.

I still cooked corn at night. When my own corn was cooked, it tasted sweet and textured. Zhang Qian ate one and planned to continue eating it. Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped it. Although the corn was delicious, he could not eat too much.

"Wear a red coat on July 15th, and beat red dates on August 15th." It was less than half of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the dates on several date trees in Liu Junhao's yard were completely red for three or five days. They were heavy and densely hung on the branches. A large red cloud could be seen thousands of meters away, which was very gratifying.

Today, Saturday, I finally had a good rest at home. After my wife had breakfast, she was thinking about eating red dates. Liu Junhao immediately attracted Wukong to climb a tree and make dates. Just as he was so excited, the naughty kids in the village didn't know how to get the news, and seven or eight came in a short while.

Yes, I can only let Wukong make more dates.

While busy in the yard, Huo Jun's voice came from outside the yard.

Today he went to Liujiagou to buy mountain goods and gave Liu Junhao dust-free chalk.

This dust-free chalk was specially asked by Liu Junhao to buy it from the city, and it was used for his wife during class. The school chalk is not unusable, but it is a lot of dust after writing and it is easy to inhale into the lungs.

Liu Junhao didn't care much before, but now his wife has to consider this matter when she is pregnant. For safety reasons, he specially asked someone to ask for dust-free chalk. Now he doesn't care about spending a few extra money, and everything is based on his wife's safety.

Zhang Qian didn't plan to use it, but she couldn't help her husband, so she had to let him make trouble.

"Xiaohao, your dates are already ripe, why don't you beat them all today? You just got dozens of kilograms for me to go back." Huo Jun entered the yard and saw the red dates full of trees and shouted immediately.

When Liu Junhao heard his mention, he looked at the many people in the yard and nodded.

Several naughty children cheered and volunteered to go back and borrow a long bamboo pole hook.

Several adults stood with one hand under the jujube tree and swayed, and a heavy rain immediately broke out.

These naughty children went into the kitchen and took out several plastic bowls from Liu Junhao's house to pick up dates. The hard red dates were so sweet that they stuffed them into their mouths while picking them up.

After a while, a few bamboo baskets containing dates were filled, and Liu Junhao hurriedly asked Professor Zhao to make two more baskets from home.

After more than two hours of busyness, everyone beat the dates on the tree. There were still many on the head of the tree, but unfortunately they couldn't reach it. They could only keep it first and wait for Wukong to pick it.

Huo Jun originally wanted to find a cloth bag of dates, but when he entered the house, he was very interested when he saw the grasshopper placed in the wooden basin. He asked where he had caught it and wanted Liu Junhao to evenly get him back and fry it.

"Catch it on the river beach, you want to eat it and catch it yourself. There are so many on the river beach, everywhere," Liu Junhao replied.

When Huo Jun heard about the interest, he immediately ran to the river beach.

Catching grasshoppers seems simple, but it is not easy to catch. First of all, the grasshoppers have protective colors on them, and they will miss them if they are not careful. Moreover, many grasshoppers have amazing bounce ability. If you react a little slowly, they will let them fly away from their fingers. You should not use too much force when catching them, otherwise the grasshopper will be crushed.

Huo Jun had never caught grasshoppers before, and he was clumsy when he was in action. He caught them for a long time and got seven or eight.

Unfortunately, he ran to Liu Junhao's house again for advice, but in the end he simply did not do anything by himself, but instead summoned Mao Chi and others to help catch grasshoppers, with a dime each.

These naughty children are idle, and they are naturally full of energy when they have money rewards. They all ran to the river beach to catch grasshoppers, and in just half an hour they caught a large plastic bag.

Huo Jun only planned to get some grasshoppers back to eat at home, so he didn't ask them to catch more, so he stopped after collecting three pounds.

Thank you everyone, the memory card is available now, today's update is still the same, and there are still two updates.

I was depressed. I was so anxious that I was sweating just now. I tried all the methods according to my friends' prompts but they didn't work (I really don't like my computer technology). I had no choice but to call the network administrator to help. Who knew that someone wiped the memory card with paper a few times and then plugged it into the computer.

This is also possible... I learned a trick, and I hope there will be no problems in the future.

Well, the second update may be late, so everyone should go to bed early and watch it tomorrow.

Staying up late is not good...
