Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 24
In the field, Ji Ran and the old man's expressions changed, they looked at each other, and then they both rushed over quickly.

Without even thinking about it, they all knew that Wang Zai had encountered something dangerous.

Most likely it will be a snake.

Snakes in the current season have just woken up from hibernation for a long time, and it is the most active time for basking in the sun and foraging.

Yesterday Ji Ran and the others didn't encounter snakes while picking mushrooms, mainly because the forest was dark and damp.Now the snake is either in the hole, as long as it comes out of the hole, it will go to a warm place where the sun shines.

The father and son rushed to the scene together, and Wu Lanting also ran over with Dou Hua.

Sure enough, a big long worm nearly two meters long covered with black, blue and white spots in the shape of pine flowers, with its head and neck erect, spitting out letters, confronted Wang Zai.

"Wow, snake, what a big snake, so scary."

When she first saw the snake, Douhua exclaimed.Human beings have a genetic fear of snakes, not to mention that Douhua is just a child. When he saw a snake, he immediately looked frightened.

Ji Ran comforted his daughter and explained, "Don't be afraid of Douhua. Except for large pythons, anacondas, etc., snakes will not attack people as long as people don't provoke them. People are afraid of snakes, and snakes are even more afraid of people."

Douhua was still scared, "But this snake is so big."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "No matter how big it is, it's just an extra bowl and a few more chopsticks."

Dou Hua looked at her father in astonishment, "Dad, you mean, can this snake be eaten?"

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Not only is it edible, it also tastes delicious. It's much more delicious than fish or loach or eel."

Douhua stuck out her tongue, "I dare not eat such a scary thing."

"Douhua, this is a pine snake. It's not poisonous, and it's not scary at all." Ji Zhonghou said to his granddaughter with a smile, and then said with a chuckle, "This snake is not small, I'm afraid it weighs four or five catties. I can't imagine today It can still happen to such a good thing, if Lao Ba knows, he will be envious to death."

Songhua snake is scientifically named Wangjin snake because of the yellow word '王' on its forehead.

It is also called the King Snake. It is a common non-venomous snake in the south. It can grow up to ten catties and is very popular among foodies.

Once a single wild king snake weighs two catties, it can be sold for hundreds of catties in Qingshui Town.

The eighth uncle Liu Hanshan loves catching this kind of snake the most. However, it is only by fate that he wants to catch such a big Wang Jin snake.

When Wang Zai saw that support was coming, he stopped barking, the hair on his neck relaxed, and he retreated between the four of them.

When the snake saw reinforcements from the other side, it suddenly felt that the situation was not good, turned around and tried to slip into the ditch.

"It's all in the pot, and you still want to run?"

Without any scruples, Ji Ran directly grabbed the snake by the waist.

Dou Hua was shocked by this hand, and shouted urgently, "Dad, be careful, snakes will bite."

"Don't worry, I won't bite your dad." Ji Ran smiled lightly.

The king snake is famous for its violent temper among snakes. It turned its head, opened its mouth and bit Ji Ran's leg.

Ji Ran reacted very quickly. He swung his arm and smashed the snake's upper body to the ground. He raised his foot and stepped on it, hitting the snake's neck squarely.

Then he pinched the bottom of the snake's head with his right index finger and thumb.

Many people here have a misunderstanding about catching snakes. They think that hitting a snake is seven inches, and catching a snake is also seven inches.

If you really grab seven inches, you will definitely be bitten; if you encounter a poisonous snake, it might be the rhythm of the whole village eating.

In fact, there is only one way to handle a snake, which is to prevent the snake from coming back and biting you.

Ji Ran grabbed the snake with his other hand to prevent it from wrapping around his arm.Once a snake of this size and length is entangled, it will be very uncomfortable for the arm.

The snake's death entanglement is notorious.

It's that simple, Ji Ran easily subdued the snake.

Ji Zhonghou reacted indifferently to Ji Ran's smooth performance, and he taught his son to catch snakes.

Wu Lanting didn't respond at all.

Douhua, on the other hand, is the same as Wangzai. At this moment, he just wants to call his dad (the owner) so awesome that he easily took down the scary long worm.

"Wang Zai did a good job. I'll give you a chicken drumstick for lunch." Ji Zhonghou praised the dog with a smile, and then said to Ji Ran, "I'll send the snake back, and you can go on to work in the fields."

He was opposed to Ji Ran using Wang Zai to help Liu Hanshan find snakes, but that didn't mean he would be kind to snakes.

First of all, the species of snake is a creepy existence.

In fact, they are indeed very dangerous cold-blooded animals. There are too many deaths caused by snakebites around the world every year.

Well, the Golden Snake is a non-venomous snake, but it still makes people hairy, and Douhua and Wangzi were barked by it.

And it is only three animals.

Of course, the most important thing is that you didn’t deliberately look for it. There is no reason not to eat the hard food that comes to your mouth, right?

……

Catching snakes is just a small episode of delivering food.

Continue to work on the rice fields.

After the compartments were separated, chemical fertilizers were sprinkled on them, and the father and son worked together to use a rope to pull a special wooden scraper, back and forth on the flat and soft mud surface.

Then soak the grain seeds that have been soaked in special potion in advance until a few small white buds have grown, and sprinkle them on the exposed mud surface.

Finally, the cut bamboo strips are used to frame the arch and support the plastic greenhouse.

……

When the rice fields were finished, it was already time for the sun to set.

Call it a day, go home, and make dinner.

The snake hasn't been eating for the time being, so keep it in a cloth bag.Because Wu Lanting received a call from his daughter in the afternoon, saying that she would come back during the May Day holiday.

Ji Ran's younger sister Ji Ling is studying at a 985 university in the capital of South China Province.

Don't even think that this girl is a master's student in a university, giving people a very quiet and intellectual feeling.

Due to her living environment since she was a child, and because she had an older brother who loved playing wild things with her since she was a child, he had a wild temperament. All kinds of wild things in the mountains, countryside and rivers were not far behind her brother.

As for food, Ji Ling likes three things the most, one is fish, the other is eel, and the third is snake.

Especially love to eat the flavored snake made by her brother.

After dinner, Ji Ran took his daughter Gouzi home. Tomorrow is Monday again and her daughter has to go to school.

Outside the house, in the wooden pavilion, the lights are on.

Old Huang Li, Douhua is doing homework, Ji Ran is playing with his mobile phone, and Gouzi is lying under the table.

Someone sent a WeChat message, Tong Yuyuan: Cumin, I will come to your house tomorrow.

Ji Ran: Are you alone, or are there many people? /doubt
Tong Aiyuan: I'm the only one, why, are you afraid? / Cover your mouth and laugh.

Ji Ran: What are you doing here? /A string of questions.

He is single now, so he doesn't want Tong Aiyuan to come, it's okay to cause other people's misunderstanding, and Ji Ran doesn't care about other people's opinions, even gossip.

Ji Ran was afraid of what my mother would think.

Tong Yuanyuan also left. She is tall, beautiful, has a career, money, a house, and a car... My old lady will definitely spy on her...

In short, Ji Ran can imagine that once Tong Aiyuan comes to the house, the old lady will definitely grab him endlessly and talk to death.

Tong Yuanyuan: Take my fish. If you don’t give it to me, I will have to come and get it. /Multiple eye rolls.

Ji Ran: I'm a little busy these days, so I'll take some time to deliver it to you.

Being busy is just an excuse, forgetting is the truth.

Tong Yuanyuan: I won’t bother you, a busy person, I’d better come and get it myself. /smile
Just as Ji Ran was about to continue replying to the message, Wang Zai, who was lying on his stomach under the table, stood up abruptly, looking at the direction of the vegetable field behind the house.

The next second, he barked and ran over there.

When Ji Ran saw its posture, he thought of the fragrant wheatgrass in the vegetable field and probably guessed what was going on.

"Girl, don't move here, dad will go and have a look."

Taking three steps at a time, he rushed into the house and took out a miner's lamp. After hesitating for a moment, he took the 'sharp weapon' in his hand and ran towards the back of the house with the light on.
