Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 393 Call from picnic
Han Li's exclamation startled Zhang Yaozu and attracted everyone's attention.

"The official name of the plant in your hand is Hellebore, but locally it should be called Hellebore trichophyton or Hellebore vulgaris. It's called Hellebore vulgaris in your place, and it's called Hellebore vulgaris at Qi Xiaomei's house.

Because this thing has certain differences in different places, its usage is also different. However, here it is used to induce vomiting and kill insects. You only need to eat a little to make you vomit. However, throwing some into the toilet can effectively prevent it. Breeds maggot flies. "

Zhang Yaozu threw away the hellebore in his hand when he heard it, and then said with a depressed look.

"Gou has been growing up in the city since he was a child. He didn't recognize this Guling hellebore at all. Just now he was looking at its thick and thick leaves and thought that this dish could be more popular. Fortunately, Goose asked."

“So you can’t pick wild vegetables indiscriminately, and don’t touch those you don’t know or have heard of.”

With this little episode, the old educated youths became the guides for Hou Yuhua and the new educated youths. If they had any doubts, they would come and ask.

Unfortunately, what the so-called old educated youths like Hao Hongmin knew was very limited, because they hadn't come here at this time last year, so Han Li's side became the place where he asked the most questions.

Everyone was talking and laughing while looking for wild vegetables. Before they knew it, it was almost noon, and everyone had something in their baskets, which was enough to satisfy their craving for no green vegetables all winter.

But now everyone needs to prepare to find an open, comfortable place with easy access to water to prepare for the picnic.

Choosing a place and building a temporary stove were left to the lesbians. Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu went to look for firewood.

Since Yun Yingying and the others were a little tired from bending down to look for wild vegetables all morning, Han Li went to the jungle alone to see if he could get any game.

There was a dense forest not far ahead, but finding prey so close to the village was like a dream.

So Han Li didn't expect to find anything at all, but it was still necessary to go out and show off. In the end, it was impossible to take out two small animals from the decomposition space to make up the number.

Han Li didn't expect to hit the prey, but he couldn't stand it anymore and hit the muzzle of the gun blindly.

He was walking in the jungle and noticed that the shaking in the grass in front of him was obviously abnormal.

Han Li stretched out his mental strength and discovered that inside was a colorful pheasant. At this time, it was tyrannically twisting the head of a hen with dull feathers, and was trying to ride on the hen's back. Just know what you want.

In broad daylight, Han Li certainly could not allow such a thing to happen, so he threw the short javelin in his hand directly.

Phew. Chie.

Originally I wanted to rescue the hen, but unexpectedly it turned into a candied haws.

But this was good, at least it allowed Han Li to accomplish his goal of going out for hunting.

Han Li didn't plan to wander around anymore, but he also didn't plan to go back so early. He found a fallen tree and lay down, looking at the blue sky through the leaves.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before I heard the girls' exclamations, followed by chattering discussions.

Han Li had no choice but to carry the two pheasants over to see what was going on, and followed the sound to where the girls were.

They chose a relatively wide place by the stream. There were many small stones on the bank. The surrounding environment was beautiful, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. The sound of the stream's water was tinkling and pleasant.

It has to be said that they used to go to the fields to work at dawn every day, and when they came back it was already sunset.

There is no time or energy to pay attention to these beautiful scenery right in front of you.

But after they temporarily let go of the shackles of labor, it will be more reliable for girls to return to beauty. At least the choice of this place is really good.

But they were sitting on the rocks by the stream, busy taking off their shoes and socks, as if they were about to enter the water.

"What are you doing?"

Yun Yingying said in surprise when she saw it was Han Li.

"Brother Li, did you catch the prey and come back so soon?"

"I'm lucky, but I came back when I heard your shouts, but what is the situation?"

Hearing that Han Li returned because of this, Hao Hongmin said a little embarrassedly.

“When I was washing my hands by the stream just now, I noticed something crawling in the water. At the time, I thought it was a snake and screamed in fright, but when I took a closer look, it turned out to be crayfish.

But Sister Yun said that these are crickets, not crayfish, and they are countless times more delicious than crayfish, but no matter what they are, they can give us extra meals, so everyone plans to go into the water to catch some. "

Han Li became energetic when talking about this. In his previous life, he ate crayfish a lot. Spicy, braised in oil, and garlic all have their own flavors. However, he still likes to eat spicy crayfish the most. Not to mention how refreshing it is to have a bottle of cold beer.

But Han Li had only heard of the cricket, and had never seen the real thing, let alone eaten it. He recalled the difference and said.

“Crayfish was an invasive species introduced to our country in 1927. It was cultivated near Jinling at that time. Due to its characteristics, it did not take long to cause great losses to local agriculture.

At first, they were killed directly after being caught. Later, they started to be caught during difficult times and used them as part of the food. Only then did crayfish come into everyone's sight.

The crayfish is our local unique crayfish, and it should be regarded as a kind of river shrimp.

But if we compare them, we can only describe them as clouds and mud.

The crayfish is dark red, while the crayfish is green-brown. The crayfish has a thick shell, not to mention hard spines. The crayfish has a larger head and a smoother appearance, with no obvious bumps or spines.Creatures like crayfish can also survive in sewers and sewage. If not treated properly, they will have a very strong smell.

The cricket is a kind of little guy with a mysophobia. It has very high requirements for the quality of living water. It can only live in some streams and rivers with clear water and no pollution. Therefore, many places use crickets as water quality tests. one of the standards.

You haven't seen any crickets in the river near the village. That's because the villagers often wash clothes, bathe, and wash vegetables there, so they are disliked by these little guys.

This little guy who loves to be clean basically has no peculiar smell or muddy smell. It only needs simple cooking and it tastes more delicious and delicious than crayfish. "

When Han Li said this, he looked at the shoes and socks they were taking off and frowned. Unexpectedly, even Yun Jingjing wanted to join in this activity of catching crickets, but has she forgotten the pain she felt when Yue Xin came? ?

Although after following her, the yin and yang were harmonized, and this situation rarely happened, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable getting on the pole, so she glanced at Yun Jingjing and said.

"You should stop trying to catch the crickets. Just look at the ice and snow on the top of the mountain and you should know how cold it is in the stream. Jumping into the freezing cold water at this time means that you will feel uncomfortable holding your stomach on this special day. .”

Han Li said this and all the girls were silent. After all, no one wanted Yue Xin to roll around on the kang with his belly in his arms when he arrived.

Yun Jingjing thought of the look Han Li gave her just now, and raised a tender smile at the corner of her mouth.

After Han Li finished talking about the others, he was about to take off his shoes and socks, when Yun Yingying quickly came over to stop him.

"Brother Li, why don't we eat these crickets? Your body will feel uncomfortable if you go into such cold water."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I've wanted to eat this cricket for a long time. I found it today and I can't miss it."

At this time, Zhang Xiangjun and Zhang Yaozu came back with firewood, and just as the three men jumped into the water to catch the crickets.

This creek is really clear, and there are some small fish swimming leisurely in it.

However, their comfortable environment was immediately broken when three men jumped in with six feet.

Cool, really cool.

"Brother Han, this water is really cold."

"Yes, but it's worth it if you can eat delicious crickets, but we have to go faster."

After Han Li finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and reached out to lift up a large rock at the bottom of the water.The two crickets hiding underneath hurriedly tried to escape, but he threw them to the shore one by one.

This cricket is a very reproducible creature. As long as the nearby water quality is suitable for them to survive, there is really no limit to the number.

Under almost every stone that the three of them lifted up, one or two crickets, or even several, were found hiding.

Han Li and three other men were fishing in the water, while a few girls were cleaning the shrimp lines from the mantises on the shore.

Among them, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying are the most agile, while Yun Jingjing is working while thinking about going back to the village to find Aunt Zhao to learn how to make the cricket tofu that has been passed down for a long time.

It is said that this dish has a long history, but because the method is too complicated, many people are not willing to waste this time and energy.

Not only did Yun Jingjing want to learn this dish, she also planned to take out some things and money and ask the children in the village to help catch some.

Because she saw the trace of yearning in Han Li's eyes when he talked about the crickets, which she had never seen before when he was eating bear meat, flying dragons, or snow clams. She must satisfy her man's yearning.

If Han Li knew Yun Jingjing's idea, he would definitely be moved, but more probably he would be dumbfounded because at that time he was just reminiscing about his previous life.

There were a lot of crickets in this section of the creek, and Han Li and the other three were able to attack them very quickly because the water was cold.

One by one, the crickets were thrown to the shore, and not long after, Yang Xiuying was heard shouting from the shore.

"There is no way to preserve this thing. It is almost enough for us to eat now. It would be a pity to waste it if we can't finish it. Han Li, please come up quickly."

Han Li and the other three came out of the water and sat by the fire, warming their cold feet and chatting.

The girls started to get busy next to another fire, some playing with pheasants, some picking wild vegetables, and some getting crickets.

Some wild vegetables are blanched and put aside. After picking some wild vegetables, just wash them with stream water.
Since they brought limited things when they came, most of these wild vegetables would be eaten with dipping sauce later.

After soliciting everyone's opinions, the crickets were stir-fried with the chili peppers and a small piece of lard that they brought with them, and the small roots of garlic they just dug up. The taste was very good.

The two pheasants that Han Li caught were of course meant for stew. While stewing the stew, they could also take the opportunity to soften the dry food they had brought.

When it was finally out of the pot, Yun Jingjing sprinkled a layer of green vegetable leaves on top. The light oily flowers and green leaves directly raised the pot of soup to a higher level.

However, when eating, almost everyone reached out their chopsticks to the green vegetables immediately, which made everyone laugh.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t like crickets and chicken soup, but it’s just that they haven’t eaten green vegetables for several months, and now this is their first psychological and physical reaction.

While Han Li and his group were having a picnic by a stream in the mountains, Leader Liu of the wilderness station also received a call from Gao Hu.

"Haha. Old Liu, I am Gao Hu. You are really unreasonable. It doesn't matter if you don't mention the number of books. I will try my best to help you find more. But the job in Sijiu City, and there are It’s not that easy to get a civil service job in an agency.”
