Chapter 466: Discovering Tuyuan
Perhaps it was everyone's enthusiasm that drove them, and soon two "hummingbirds" flew from elsewhere. They were flying tirelessly among the flowers, showing no sign of stopping.
"How can this hummingbird have tentacles?" At this time, a hummingbird suddenly flew low, and the sharp-eyed tourist screamed. As soon as he shouted, someone soon found something wrong. There were two tentacles with enlarged tips on the guy's head. After careful examination, he found that he didn't see its claws.
What the hell is it... Everyone was more interested and urged Liu Junhao to capture it and study it.
In accordance with public opinion, Liu Junhao immediately went home and brought it to his net bag. He waved it among the flowers twice and caught a "hummingbird".
"It turned out to be a moth." He just touched it with his hands and immediately got a lot of powder. Birds wouldn't have this thing at all. Now, looking at its shape up close, it feels like a unique big moth.
After turning over the belly of this thing, everyone discovered an abnormality again. It did not have bird claws and had many feet.
Immediately, a tourist took out the Qiande and entered the keyword "hummingbird, moth" and other keywords, and then shouted, "I found it, I found it, this is called hummingbird hawk moth, not hummingbird."
After listening to his introduction, tourists took out their cell phones to surf the Internet.
After reading the web page, they realized that this thing is really called the hummingbird hawk moth, and it has nothing to do with hummingbirds, and it is also distributed in China.
It is not only them who admit their mistakes, but many people mistakenly think of this as a hummingbird.
Bai was happy, and Zhang Qianxiao was a little depressed.
"Nothing, at least you did find something new, at least you have never heard of a hummingbird hawk moth in Liujiagou before." Liu Junhao hurriedly comforted.
Other people's rapeseed is harvested until early May, and they are planted at home for half a month, but they have to be harvested in advance.
But there is no way, the rapeseed is already ripe, so you can't let it fry in the field.
There was actually not much planted in this rapeseed field. In addition, when harvesting rapeseed, Mr. Zhao came to help, and the two of them completed the harvest in half a day.
Looking at the rapeseed horns that were longer than the index finger, Liu Junhao felt a little accomplished. He estimated that these in the yard should be able to make 200 kilograms of rapeseed, which was enough for the couple to eat rapeseed oil.
You can also plant some sesame seeds in a while, and then get a few kilograms of small grind sesame oil to mix with vegetables.
Liu Junhao did not put the rapeseed in the yard to dry it, but threw it into the room upstairs, intending to wait until it was dried before cooking.
When he was carrying rapeseed into the house, he took the time to look at the swiftlets under the eaves. After a year, these more than a dozen swiftlets had adapted to the environment of the Daqing Mountains. As the weather warmed up, they began to lay eggs one after another.
Last year, all the bird's nests were eaten by Zhang Qian. This year, Liu Junhao had already made plans to leave a few for Huo Jun. If it weren't for someone else, he would have to go online to buy them if he wanted to eat bird's nest.
However, now some tourists are asking to buy it at their door, and Liu Junhao can only temporarily refuse these. The bird's nests produced by more than a dozen swallows are not enough for home use, so how can they be taken out? At least a few years will he have to wait for the swiftlet population to expand before he can make this plan.
It was still early after the busy schedule, and Liu Junhao led the Red Rabbit to the river bank to eat grass again.
The weather was getting hot at the end of April, and the swallows under the eaves flew in and out from time to time, bringing mud and grass roots to make nests.
Originally, there was an old nest under the eaves, but I don’t know when it was dropped by Wukong, so these little guys could only do it again.
The chickens and ducks in the yard have already enjoyed the coolness in the woods outside the door, so the yard seems relatively quiet.
In the secluded courtyard, green morning glory crawled all over the fence wall, and purple-red flowers were everywhere, which was very eye-catching. Butterflies and bumblebees flew around from time to time.
A few red-mouthed jades hid on the branches of neem and combed their feathers with each other.
Her husband is busy outside, but Zhang Qian is leisurely taking photos in the yard. There is no way, she is now focusing on protecting animals, and she doesn't want to reach out to Liu Junhao.
Taking a few photos, Zhang Qian continued to go into the house and sit and casually browsed the web, news, and pictures, while filling the forum with water, she was filled with thoughts.
From time to time, my hand reached to the plate next to melon seeds, and the plate was full of melon seeds. This was cooked by my husband a few days ago, in order to let her kill time.
Zhang Qian was certainly moved by her husband's thoughts on herself so carefully... The only way to express it is to eliminate the food one by one.
After eating the melon seeds, wash your hands, pour a cup of honey water, and continue to pour water online.
It was not until eleven o'clock that she got up and went to the kitchen to cook. There were induction cookers and gas stoves at home, but the cooking tasted bad, so she still made it with firewood, although it was troublesome.
With more than a month left before the due date, her husband has asked her to rest completely and has not even attended classes again.
There are not enough teachers in the school, so Liu Junhao can only help with classes, and he is busy these days.
Zhang Qian saw it, so she naturally wanted to do some work within her ability to help.
As soon as she lit the fire, she grabbed a handful of broken wood with her hands. Before she could fill it in the stove, she suddenly felt something wriggling in her hands. She was so scared that she stood up from the stool.
He actually grabbed three black hard beetles in his hand, each with a thumb cover. He turned his head and found a group of black beetles in the pile of firewood.
"Wukong, Wukong" Zhang Qian screamed at the top of her throat, but she did not get a monkey's answer.
I used to treat this guy well, but I couldn't find it when I was using it. She could only shout a little bit, but still no answer was received.
There was no choice but to look at the lazy guy in the house - the mouse, and let it help you to go into the kitchen to catch insects.
If you want to say that Zhang Qian is not afraid of this kind of black bug, but there are so many of them together, there are hundreds of them, which is scary. How dare she continue to stay?
The cloud leopard was called by his master and thought he wanted to feed him. He ran into the kitchen happily. Seeing that the master pointed at the haystack, he didn't say anything. It screamed low and lay down in a hopeful gaze.
Let you catch insects and still sleep? Zhang Qian wished she could pick up this guy's melon skin and teach her a lesson. However, relying on this guy to catch insects, she could only whisper and finally call the mouse again.
This time, the little guy saw the bug and stretched his claws to sway among the firewood. He had been busy for a long time and did not achieve any results. Zhang Qian was helpless to lift it out.
It was a mistake to shout that the guy came in, so I would like to put out the fire and wait until my husband finished his work.
"Honey, hurry up and get bugs in our kitchen, many big black beetles." Liu Junhao just entered the yard and was dragged into the kitchen by his wife before he could tie the red rabbit up.
Fortunately, Chitu was obedient, so he just patted the horse's buttocks twice, and the guy honestly entered the horse's shed to rest.
"Where?" Liu Junhao looked around, but he did not find the beetle.
"Just under the firewood, look at it, there is one..." With Zhang Qian's exclamation, Liu Junhao also saw a black guy.
"What was my name at that time? This guy was called Tuyuan, which was a Chinese herbal medicine. It's okay, it doesn't bite people. We often caught it when we were young. Although this thing is not good, it is a good ingredient for stewing chicken soup. Remove the head and tail of Tuyuan and stew it with muscles. It tastes very sweet. Add wolfberry to soak in wine, which can also cure diseases." Liu Junhao said as he returned to the house and found an empty coke bottle, and began to look for it in the pile of firewood.
I originally thought there were at most dozen Tu Yuan here, but who knew that what my wife said was not an exaggeration, and even said less. After finishing the pile of firewood in the kitchen, I caught nearly a hundred.
When did so many Tuyuan hidden here? All of them were attracted by the spring water... Liu Junhao definitely did not admit that he was lazy and had not cleaned up the pile of firewood for nearly half a year.
In the past, there were adobe houses in the countryside. In addition to finding scorpion centipedes to sell, there was also Tuyuan. Tuyuan, like scorpion centipedes, like hiding in dark and humid places and waiting for activities to come out when there is no one at night.
Every summer, especially when it rained, after it was dark at around 8 o'clock, Tu Yuan would come out of the firewood piles in the cracks in the wall to find food, and as soon as it came out, there would be a large group of them, which was very dark.
This thing is much safer than catching scorpions and centipedes, so rural children like to snatch and play with it. Grab the earth must move quickly. If you are a little slower, you can catch at most four or five, and all the remaining ones escape into the cracks in the adobe wall or in the pile of firewood.
In the first period, rural people didn’t know that this thing was precious, so they caught it and fed the chickens.
Later one year, the bug suddenly became valuable. One cent per cent, at most, someone in the village caught more than 1,000 pieces in one night and sold more than 100 yuan. This incident caused a great sensation in the village at that time. The next night, men, women, young and old appeared together. They all carried flashlights and plastic buckets in the village along the corners, cracks and piles of firewood in the adobe walls of each household. When they saw Tu Yuan, they immediately grabbed the plastic bucket they brought.
Often, you just came to me and you can catch many fish that missed the net every time.
However, carrying a plastic bucket is not safe, and Tuyuan can easily crawl along the wall of the bucket. Later, people thought of a way to touch a circle of oil on the wall of the bucket, so that Tuyuan will slide down if it climbs up.
At that time, I could basically catch seven or eight yuan in one night. Later, I don’t know who first discovered that using watermelon peel and chicken shit manure could trap Tuyuan. So at night, the wall was full of watermelon peel and chicken shit manure. People often smeared the watermelon peel and fell on it when they were catching Tuyuan. Or they saw something black on the ground, for fear of being snatched, so they rushed up to catch it. As a result, they felt a hot hand and scolded loudly, "Who has just put the fine chicken shit he just put?"
There was a burst of laughter around immediately...
Liu Junhao was just in the first grade and was basically the kind who didn't do homework. Every night he made an appointment with a few friends to catch Tuyuan. His yard is large, and there are several piles of firewood in the yard, so there are a lot of Tuyuan at night. When you catch Tuyuan, you can burn it with boiling water and dry it and sell it.
After a vigorous capture of a summer, this thing quickly decreased and was no longer as large as that. Later, most of the adobe houses in the village were converted into brick and tile houses, and Tuyuan also lost its natural breeding place, which was rarely seen in rural areas. Occasionally, there were only one or two at most, and there was no scene of a large area of black walls.
