Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 103 After catching silver rings and lobsters, Master Jing is coming back

Just such a biological sister who has been a pet since she was a child, and now she will return after finishing her studies, Ji Ran is very happy from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, Ji Ran has always hoped that the little girl can develop at home.

In other words, if he went to other places, he would rarely return home twice a year, just like he was in Shanghai stock market before.

Although it is very convenient to take flights, high-speed trains and so on, how many people would take a trip back to their hometown every now and then?

Being separated from the dearest and dearest people in the world, and getting together a few times a year, returning in a hurry, getting together in a hurry... This kind of life, when you think about it sometimes, is actually quite boring.

Ji Ran went to the kindergarten to pick up her daughter.

Douhua was very happy when she heard that her sister-in-law would come home the day after tomorrow.

All the way, I was mumbling and waiting for my sister-in-law to come back, and I wanted to fry an egg fried rice with my own hands for my sister-in-law to try.

Ji Ran immediately sweated for her sister-in-law.

The father and daughter returned to Youranju.

After eating and studying until 08:30, it was completely dark.

"Let's go girl, dad will take you to Kuwei to grab good things."

Ji Ran put on his rain boots, carried a cloth bag, picked up the miner's lamp, and called his daughter.

"What good things are you grabbing?" Douhua followed behind him with great interest.

Wang Zaipianpianpian followed him.

"Catch the worm." Ji Ran said with a smile.

That's right, he who never took the initiative to catch snakes, chose to take the initiative tonight...

Doesn't this little girl love ginger and spicy snakes the most? Ji Ran, who is a spoiled girl and a madman, plans to prepare some for her.

"Ah, catch long worms?"

Hearing this, Douhua had goosebumps all over his body.

How could she not be afraid of such a cold-blooded crawling animal as a little girl of a few years old.

Even though I have seen my father catch snakes and my sister-in-law butchering snakes... there are some things that seem to flow in my blood, such as the fear of snakes.

"It doesn't matter, dad is here." Ji Ran smiled.

Ji Ran did not choose to go out after his daughter went to bed and took her with him. He just wanted his daughter to know more about snakes and slowly eliminate her fear of snakes.

This kind of thing, how should I put it, is really not as scary as many people think in their souls.

When they arrived at the pier, the two of them got on the boat and rowed towards the end of the bank.

The mine lamp worn on the forehead shines on both sides of the reservoir.

Hope to find something, but unfortunately not.

Row all the way to the end of the library.

Kuwei is a large shoal with dense aquatic plants growing in the water.

The lights swept around the not-so-small shoal...

Ji Ran remembered that there was still a pack of primary lotus seeds in the storage room of the system, but he didn't plan to plant them in a 'pure land'.

Lotus lotus is an aquatic plant, which is a bit troublesome.

What's more, Ji Ran thinks the edible value of lotus is relatively limited.

Ji Ran wanted to plant them here to beautify the scenery of the reservoir.

Think about how beautiful the Mankuwei lotus will be when it blooms.
However, Ji Ran plans to wait until spring tomorrow to talk about this matter, but before that, it seems that he can make some preparations...

Save the scary 'monster'.

The entire Kuwei bank is also covered with green weeds.

When we disembarked from the boat, the lights shone into the grass.

"Dad, why do we come here to catch snakes? By the way, it's night now. Will snakes come out at night?" Douhua asked fearfully and eagerly.

"Snakes come out day and night."

Ji Ran smiled and answered her daughter's questions, "However, most snakes are mainly active during the day... and some snakes are nocturnal... In our place, there are mainly two kinds of snakes that rest in caves during the day , will come out to forage for food at night."

"One is a red and black fire snake, and the other is a black and white snake."

"The reason why we came here to catch snakes is because Dad knows that there are often coral snakes in this place."

Douhua continued to ask, "Dad, how did you know that there are often coral snakes here?"

Ji Ran said, "Bungare snakes like to live with water, and they like to eat rice field eels and loach the most... The water in the reservoir is shallow, muddy and thick with aquatic plants, which are especially nourishing for rice field eels and loach... Dad is very familiar with this place."

While Ji Ran was talking, the lights shot around in the grass to search for it.

Not long after, I actually found one in the grass. Its skin was eye-catching black and white, making it highly recognizable.

The upper body of the snake burrowed into the mud, undoubtedly catching loaches or eels in the mud holes.

Ji Ran went straight to it and pulled it out.

Then he stepped on his neck.

"Dad, is this the Coral Snake? Is it poisonous? Be careful." Dou Hua asked with concern.

"Yes, this is the corona snake. It is a highly venomous snake, and many people even rank it at the top of the list of inland venomous snakes."

Ji Ran pinched the bottom of the snake's head and captured it easily.

"Is it so poisonous?" Dou Hua was speechless.

"Yes, that's why it's also called the Hundred-Step Snake, which means that after a person is bitten by it, it will take a hundred steps for the poison to develop... It's a bit exaggerated, but it also appropriately describes its toxicity."

Ji Ran squeezed the snake's mouth open, showing the two small fangs on the upper jaw of the snake, and explained to his daughter, "The poison of the corona snake is actually not that scary... The key is that its fangs are very thin and sharp, and people are bitten. Finally, it feels like being pricked by a needle, without any pain... and its toxin is a neurotoxin, which has a strong paralyzing effect..."

"It's so scary." Looking at the worm on her father's hand and listening to his explanation, Douhua shrank her neck.

Wang Zai even further distanced himself from him. He was also very afraid of this thing.

"It's not that scary. If you don't violate it, it won't attack you... In the future, if you see a snake, don't be afraid, don't touch it, just avoid it." Ji Ran smiled and stretched the snake to the ground. The daughter stepped forward, "Touch and see."

Douhua was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's okay, it's destined to become our meal now... Touch it, dad is here, try how it feels." Ji Ran encouraged her daughter.

Douhua hesitated again and again, and finally plucked up the courage, touched the snake's body, and then immediately took it back, "It's ice cold, cool."

"The reason snakes are cold is because they are cold-blooded animals..."

Ji Ran went on to educate her daughter on science.

"Wang Zai, come over and get acquainted with me and have a smell."

After the science popularization is over, call the dog over.

Wang Zaiman's eyes were filled with fear, he backed away again and again, opening a further distance, no matter how Ren Jiran summoned him, he just didn't dare to approach.

Ji Ran originally wanted the dog to find snakes, but he just grabbed the ready-made ones... I think that when I was working in the field, I got a big king snake that weighed four to five catties with the help of a half-grown dog.

Unexpectedly, as an adult, Wang Zai was as afraid of snakes as tigers.

Ji Ran had to give up her hope on Gouzi.

Put the snake in a cloth bag,

Keep looking for snakes.

After searching the Kuwei area, I caught four silver rings.

But the largest is only eight or nine taels, and the smallest is only about four taels.

Seeing this, Douhua couldn't help but ask again, "Dad, why is there no big snake? The snake you caught last time had a king carved on its head. It was so big."

Ji Ran explained, "Bungare snakes have only this size, and they can only grow to a maximum of one catty."

Four silver rings are enough to prepare a tough dish.

Call it a day, go home, wash up and go to bed.

……

6 month 11 day.

Ji Ran didn't go anywhere, just had a regular routine at home and dried some fragrant wheatgrass by the way.

In the afternoon, Ji Ran received a long-lost call.

Wang Zai's old lady is like a flower's owner-Liu Wenjing.

Ji Ran remembered contacting her more than a month ago.

That time she replied to a WeChat message saying that she was in Tibet Province.

And then no more news.

After selling out the outdoor products store, I said I wanted to be a full-time live broadcaster, but I don’t know what the situation is now.

"Master Jing, did your old man come out of closed door training?"

After answering the phone, Ji Ran joked.

"Damn it, I almost didn't get farts on an isolated island." Liu Wenjing's speech was still as rough as before.

"What happened?" Ji Ran hurriedly asked, feeling that Liu Wenjing 'disappeared', almost disappeared.

"It's depressing to mention it, so I won't talk about it." Liu Wenjing said, "Where is your kid now?"

"at home."

Liu Wenjing didn't tell her, but Ji Ran also guessed that after leaving Tibet, she wandered on the sea, and then encountered a storm or something, leaving her on a deserted island.

Fortunately, we finally escaped safely.

"How are you doing as a child?" Liu Wenjing asked.

Ji Ran said, "Lie down and live life, just muddle along."

"You, this is your only success in your life." Liu Wenjing looked down upon her and asked again, "By the way, have you and Yuanyuan called?"

Ji Ran smiled without saying a word.

Liu Wenjing joked, "You smile so slyly. Needless to say, you must have hooked up... When one of you wanted a fish and the other gave a fish, your motives were not pure... As expected, the fish came to the fish. Go and get it on the bed."

Ji Ran was speechless.

Brother didn't have any thoughts about Tong Yuanyuan back then, okay?

But no matter what happened at the beginning, now it’s time to get the certificate.

Liu Wenjing threatened, "Let me tell you, Yuanyuan is our classmate, she is a good girl, you boy must treat her well... If you dare to betray her, I will let you taste the power of my ancestral teasing feet, Guaranteed to send you into the palace."

Ji Ran's egg trembled, and forced a smile, "I know, Master Li Jing."

Liu Wenjing said, "Okay, I'm at a pier in Qingshi, Shandong Province now, and then I'm going to the airport. The flight will arrive at the provincial capital at around five o'clock. Tomorrow, I'll take the first high-speed train back to the county town in the morning, and I'll arrive around nine o'clock. You, come to pick up the driver on time tomorrow, do you hear me?"

Ji Ran, "I heard... By the way, you can contact my little sister Ji Ling, she is also coming back from the high-speed train tomorrow morning... Do you have her contact information?"

Liu Wenjing, "When we got together last time, you took her with you, and she and I hit it off right away... Of course I have her contact information... Okay, hang up the phone."

Listening to the blind tone coming from the receiver of the mobile phone, Ji Ran picked his scalp and smiled bitterly.

The younger sister is back, and Liu Wenjing is back, and tomorrow the house will be lively.

That's right, the little girl wants to do a live broadcast, and Liu Wenjing has long wanted to go that way, why don't they form a team?

……

In the blink of an eye it's night.

Tomorrow is the weekend again. My daughter doesn't have class, so she won't do her homework tonight.

As soon as it got dark, Ji Ran put on his rain boots and a miner's lamp...

"Dad, are we going to catch snakes tonight?"

Douhua looked at his formation and asked a little fearfully.

Her first contact with snakes last night did not completely eliminate her fear of worms.

This matter requires a process and requires her to grow up gradually.

"Don't catch snakes, let's catch lobsters tonight." Ji Ran patted his daughter's head and said.

Yes, he changed the project tonight.

The younger sister’s favorite is the ginger-spicy snake, while Liu Wenjing’s favorite is the braised crayfish.

Master Jing went through a catastrophe outside, escaped from death, and Ji Ran was the first one he came back to find.As her best buddy, Ji Ran must give her a good cleanse.

"Catching lobsters is great."

Hearing that they were going to catch lobsters, Douhua jumped for joy.

She's never done this before, but she's heard of it. It's so interesting.

Immediately went to put on her little rain boots, carrying her small net bucket, and Ji Ran also matched her with a small headlamp.

Bringing the dog and Ji Ran carrying the fish basket, the father and daughter walked into the field.

As the most successful alien invasive species in history, lobster has already invaded Jiangbian Village.

However, their days in Jiangbian Village were not carefree, and they even lived in fear.

Not many people in the village like to eat this thing with a piece of meat all over its body, but... it doesn't mean that the villagers won't handle it.

The harm of lobster to the natural ecological environment is well known.

For example, they will dig holes on field ridges, pond banks, and embankments.

This leads to a large amount of water loss in fields and ponds, leading to a sharp increase in the probability of river embankments bursting...

Therefore, in Jiangbian Village, when the villagers saw this harmful thing, they either kicked it or gave it a hoe.

In short, it can kill, not just maim.

However, even so, due to the strong adaptability and reproduction ability of crayfish, there are still a lot of them in Jiangbian villages.

"Dad, how many are there, how many!"

The father and daughter took the dog and went straight to the bank of the Tianlang ditch.

When the light beam shines through, you can see a few at a glance.

The canal is not deep, and the water in the canal is shallow. When the bean blossoms fall into the canal, they will try to catch them quietly.

"Slow down girl, be careful not to be caught." Ji Ran reminded.

The pair of big pliers of the crayfish should not be underestimated. The girl has delicate skin and tender meat. Once it is caught, it will be hard to bear.

Douhua received her father's reminder and stopped immediately.

However, a certain dog was extremely brave. It swooped down and ran straight towards one of the large adult lobsters like a whirlwind.

Snakes are afraid of them. They don't pay attention to such a small thing.
His skills are also neat enough, he rushed to the lobster in the blink of an eye, quickly stretched out his claws, and pinched the lobster precisely.

The dog opened its mouth and wanted to catch it.

But in the next second, the accident happened suddenly.

A pair of large pliers was raised abruptly, and one of them clamped the dog's nose.

Gouzi was caught off guard and was shocked and hurt.

"Wow woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof..."

The next second, the dog started barking like crazy, and at the same time, the dog's head was shaking wildly.

Ji Ran smiled unconscionably when he saw it.

He reminded his daughter, but he didn't remind Gouzi in time. He had no good intentions and wanted to see Gouzi embarrassed so that he could have a longer memory so that the stupid dog wouldn't be so reckless in the future.

"Wow woof woof woof woof woof..."

The dog was indeed very smart. When he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he threw it against the cement brick wall of the channel.

The lobster was slammed onto the hard cement bricks, and finally let go of the pliers.

"Wow, woof, woof..."

Gouzi jumped back to the shore and rubbed against Ji Ran in aggrieved manner.

He thought he would be comforted by his master, but in the end he was greeted with ridicule, "Reckless, reckless, you deserve it."

"Wow, woof..."

Gouzi yelled twice in dissatisfaction, and jumped to Douhua's side.

"Whether the dog hurts or not, my Wang Zai is the bravest, don't cry... I'll blow it to you, it won't hurt anymore."

Douhua hugged the dog's head, held the dog's chin, pouted her little mouth, and blew hard.

……

Wang Zai is pinched by big pliers, which is a happy episode based on the pain of the dog.

The shrimp catching operation continues.

There are so many lobsters in the canals.

The father and daughter picked up beans, grabbing one, and then another.

After getting on the individual lobster, he grabbed it, and Sun Jiran gave it a good kick, and sent it to reincarnation.

Douhua was confused and asked, "Dad, why did you trample them to death?"

"This thing is an invasive alien species... and it keeps doing bad things..." Ji Ran told her the reason.

It turned out to be a bad lobster, and now Douhua also started to catch and kill it.

In about two hours, Ji Ran's basket and the small bucket of Douhua couldn't hold it.

Come back fully loaded.

Ji Ran put the lobster in a big pot.

Just pour in a small amount of water.

Ji Ran didn't understand the reason. If too much water was added, the lobster would die easily.
Had a good sleep until dawn.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the father and daughter drove to the county seat.

What Ji Ran didn't know was that as soon as they left, a sneaky figure appeared on the edge of the mountain behind Youranju...

　Happy Labor Day folks
　　But what you are celebrating is Fun Day, and what I am celebrating is a serious Labor Day.
