Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 137

There are more cicadas and more cicadas. In just two or three days, there are more than ten cicada holes in Liu Junhao's front yard.Now every night, Xiao Zeyu and Tongtong come to call Liu Junhao to look for Zhizhi under the tree with a portable lamp.It has not yet reached the heyday of cicadas, so you can touch up to twenty or thirty in one night.

After catching cicadas, it was natural for Mr. Wang to fry them for them. The two little guys got more and more energetic, looking forward to the dark almost every afternoon.

In the morning, after eating, Liu Junhao soaked the bowl in the pot and went to the backyard to pick melons.Yep, another watermelon was spoiled by the grass raccoon.

By the way, those two grass raccoons seem to really regard their melon patch as a free restaurant, and come here every now and then to grab a watermelon.

These guys are also real, if you say steal melons, just steal melons, if you insist on biting the net bag to pieces, it is very annoying.

If it was left in the past, Liu Junhao would definitely not take this kind of thing lightly.But Aiwujiwu, thinking of Zhang Qian's attitude towards Cao Lizi, his mood also eased.

Even if it is to contribute to the protection of national wildlife!

After picking three watermelons, he was just about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard the sound of "booming" from the melon seedlings not far away, followed by the sound of "cheeping".I saw that old grass raccoon running out with a big mouse in its mouth, followed by a few little ones.

Feeling that there are mice in my backyard, I didn't expect that they are not free food, and they can help me eliminate the mice.

Perhaps the reason why the watermelon in the backyard was not infested by rats was because of these raccoons, and they still had some credit. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao felt balanced.

Since he successfully planted watermelons on the trees in his yard last year, the villagers immediately followed suit.But when the watermelon is ripe, troubles come. Often overnight, a small hole is dug out in the ripe melon on the melon seedling.

It's really a bad pot of soup for mice. After being bitten by them like this, a watermelon weighing more than ten catties is completely inedible.

When the villagers talked about this incident, they were also very worried.When he returned the bamboo baskets at Er Mazi's house the day before yesterday, he asked if the watermelon in his yard had been spoiled.

At that time, Liu Junhao didn't think too much about it. Now it seems that it was Cao Lizi who secretly helped him exterminate rats.

The old grass raccoon was also taken aback when he saw him, but this time he didn't run away, but just stared closely.

After staring at each other for half a minute, Liu Junhao took three steps back.After the guy was sure that he didn't mean anything malicious, he let go of his distraction, threw the mouse on the ground, and growled at his child.

The little grass raccoon rushed up immediately, holding down the mouse that was trying to escape with its front legs.But these little guys are obviously just for fun.He just kept poking it with his paws, and let out a low growl.

Is this teaching them how to hunt?The poor mouse was frightened and frightened, and after a long time of tossing, it was finally bitten to death.

The old grass raccoon came to the front to "demonstrate" how to eat mice, and those little guys also came up and fought and tore each other. In less than 5 minutes, the mice were eaten up.

Immediately afterwards, the family swaggered out of the water channel without even looking at Liu Junhao.

Damn, it's so rude, the backyard is my territory, if it annoys me, I will block the waterway tomorrow.

No, he suddenly remembered, this grass raccoon not only eats mice, but also eats fish.

The eels in this ditch are densely packed, isn't it a perfect fishing ground in their eyes?No wonder the two grass raccoons built their nests outside the courtyard wall, feeling that they were staring at their eels.

The more Liu Junhao thinks about it, the more it feels wrong. He didn't find them before so he didn't talk about it. Now he can't continue to let them harm.Thinking of this, he hurriedly moved a few bricks from the front yard to block the waterway.

After picking watermelons, he put the pillowcases he had woven in the past two days on the back seat of his bicycle, and then rode to the streets to deliver melons.

This watermelon was naturally given to Zhao Guangming. Last time, he gave this guy seven big watermelons, and now he called again to ask for it.

I went early today, and the weather was not hot yet, so Liu Junhao took a leisurely journey all the way.

After posting the pillowcase, he pushed the bicycle to Zhao Guangming's house.Unexpectedly, a large blackboard was erected at the door of his house, with the four characters of receiving the shell crookedly written on it.

Zhao Guangming was sitting in the room fiddling with his mobile phone. He was very enthusiastic when he saw him taking out cigarettes and pouring tea.

This guy has nothing to do, he is either rape or steal.Liu Junhao pondered in his heart, but he didn't know what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd.

"Brother Liu, can you do me a favor?" Come on, it's obviously not a good thing to call my brother as soon as we meet.

"No, you still call me by my name. It sounds comfortable. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Let me know first. If I can help, I will naturally help. If you can't, it's useless even if you call me Uncle Liu."

"Damn, you still want to be my elder, how can you take advantage of it like this." Zhao Guangming became angry for a while, and stared at him.

Liu Junhao sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, gently blew on the tea leaves in his cup and said, "Good tea."

"Let me talk about the matter." Seeing that he didn't intend to apologize, Zhao Guangming could only continue to get to the point, "You also saw the blackboard at the door, right now I'm idle at home, and I want to collect some cicada shells to make some money. Isn't your girlfriend a teacher in elementary school, can you ask her to collect the cicada shell for me?"

"What are you talking about, how can you ask her to collect it for you?" Liu Junhao was a little confused for a while.

"She can mobilize the students. There are so many students in Liujiagou Primary School, it will definitely work for her to open a shopping center in your village, and I will give her a kickback..."

"No, Zhang Qian will definitely not do it. How can a teacher ask a student to do such a thing." Before he finished speaking, Liu Junhao had already refused.

"Why not, just now a teacher from the primary school gave me more than three catties of cicada shells."

"My brain isn't flooded, and I haven't fallen into ambush yet. How can he collect so many cicada shells?" Of course Liu Junhao didn't believe his nonsense.

"Hey, one of his students made it last year, and he didn't have time to sell it at that time. But it's right to sell it this year. Do you know how much a catty of cicada shells are now? 30 yuan."

"What, it's so expensive?" Liu Junhao was also taken aback, "In the past, Guo Laosi charged only 18 yuan per catty, how could he grow so tall all of a sudden."

"You don't know this. From a close point of view, the roads in our town were not repaired before, and the acquisition information from outside could not come in. That's why Mr. Guo desperately lowered the price. This year is different, everyone knows You can make money by shelling the shell. If you accept it, I will also accept it, and the price will naturally rise.

Speaking of the general situation, the price of cicada shells has been rising in the past few years. Do you know the reason?In fact, eating cicadas in cities has become a fashion these days. Almost every major restaurant has the dish "fried cicadas".This is much less troublesome than finding a cicada shell, and the money is quicker.A large number of cicadas flowed into the catering market, and naturally there would be fewer cicada shells, and the price would rise. "

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons of mice can make holes.I usually see this kid as a fool, but I didn't expect that when he talked about business, he was so smart. It seems that he has inherited his father's excellent genes.

"Well, there is no cost for this job, as long as you come to me every time you go to the post office to post things, I will give you a commission of three yuan per catty." Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Guangming said again , "Take it as a favor for my brother"

"I'll help you go back and talk about it. I don't know if she will agree."

A catty is charged at three yuan, and ten catties can only be raised at 30 yuan. In previous years, the cicada shells received by the poor children in the village were at most twenty or thirty catties.After a busy summer, the commission is less than 100 yuan. To be honest, Liu Junhao really doesn't like this amount of money.

But he didn't reject it outright, after all, he had helped him a lot during this time, especially the watermelon post last time.

"Then I'll thank you first. By the way, I'll take this as well." Zhao Guangming said as he took a white thing from the backstage and handed it to him.

"What is this thing... It's really strange, how come there is dog urine moss on Cicada?" Liu Junhao looked at the cicada-looking thing in his hand in great surprise.

It can be seen that this thing used to be a cicada. Its surface is covered with a layer of milky white fluff, which looks moldy.There are many bright yellow spores drilled from its body, the longest one is five or six centimeters long.This thing suddenly looked very similar to when the dog pee moss first came out.

Dog urine moss is very common in rural areas, and it usually grows in the corner of the toilet or on the dung pile.It is probably that dogs often lift their hind legs to pee in these places, hence the name.People in the village often say, "If you are next to the Jinluan Temple, you must grow Ganoderma lucidum grass; if you are next to the hut, you must grow dog urine moss."

"What are you looking at, look carefully, this is the legendary Cordyceps sinensis." Zhao Guangming explained with a little satisfaction.

"Nonsense, are you bullying me for being uneducated? If this thing is Cordyceps sinensis, I will eat it immediately." Liu Junhao smiled and punched him.

He has seen Cordyceps sinensis in textbooks before, it is a complex formed by fungi parasitic on insect larvae.Although it is similar to this one, I don’t know the parasitic insects. I have the impression that the insects are long and long, similar to caterpillars.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you," Zhao Guangming saw that he didn't believe it, so he explained, "This thing is called Cicada Flower, which is also a traditional Chinese medicinal material like Cordyceps sinensis. Go back and see if there is any in your village. I also collect it here." , 20 yuan a catty."

"Probably not. I've never seen this thing before, and we don't have it here." Liu Junhao looked at it a few more times, and finally shook his head.He can be regarded as a master in catching cicadas, but it is really the first time to see cicadas grow up like this.

"There must be. I collected half a catty in the morning. These things seem to grow in the bamboo forest. No one in our town knew that cicadas were worth money before, so they should be easy to find."
