Chapter 276 Delicious Peach Fat
After school in the evening, when Zhang Qian knew about Sparrow's domineering behavior, she insisted on severe punishment.

With his wife's permission, Liu Junhao waited under the door after dinner at night, preparing to catch them all when they returned to their nests.Seeing that all four sparrows landed on the nest, he wondered if such a big swallow's nest could accommodate four sparrows.

I don't care what the group of sparrows are reporting, as long as they return to their nests now.Let his wife hold the stool underneath, while he carefully stood on the stool, then picked up the net bag and snapped it towards the swallow's nest.

Unexpectedly, those sparrows didn't respond at all when the net bag was buckled on the bird's nest, they were too slow.

"Turn on the incandescent lamp" Following Liu Junhao's order, Zhang Qian was already pressing the switch underneath.Since the swallows happened to build their nests under incandescent lamps, the two of them were afraid of disturbing the swallows hatching their eggs. These days they usually didn't turn on the lights, and even when they got up to go to the bathroom at night, they always carried portable lamps.

Under the strong light, these old thieves finally came to their senses, spreading their wings and flying around, but just in time to rush into the net pocket.

Don't pull one... Zhang Qian didn't ask for these murderers who killed the little swallow to be released.

Liu Junhao's handling method is very simple, and he directly distributes them to his own animals.Wukong's mouth is full of greed these days, and he doesn't eat raw food at all.On the contrary, Doudou was not afraid of raw and cooked, and ran to the dark place with the sparrow in his mouth to swallow it.

The remaining three are all fed to the otters. These two guys have made great achievements recently.Those waterfowls have now listed the backyard as a restricted area. Although the eels inside are delicious, few birds dare to land any more.Of course, there are still some stupid and bold ones, all of which have become otter food.

The next day Zhang Qian got up to cook first. As soon as she opened the door, she heard the chirping sounds of birds from the nest under the eaves.Looking up, the two swallows flew back again.

"Husband, hurry up and watch, the swallows have returned to their nest." She turned over and went back to the bedroom to throw off the quilt.

Although Liu Junhao is quite sleepy now, in order not to discourage his wife's enthusiasm, he had no choice but to stand under the eaves and accompany her to observe.

Zhang Qian's breakfast is relatively simple. Boil rice porridge in a big pot, then fry a few celery, and then serve with two pickled salted eggs... It's a light and delicious day. it has started.

After dinner, Zhang Qian went directly to school, and Liu Junhao was given the task of washing the dishes.

There are only two people in his family, and the dishes and chopsticks are easy to clean, and they can be done in 3 minutes.As for Wukong's bowl, he has always cleaned it himself. Under Zhang Qian's teaching, this guy loves cleaning very much. He must clean it every day before and after meals.

After the busy work in the yard, the whole person relaxes, makes a cup of tea, and sits in the yard to rest.When I looked up inadvertently, the jujube tree that had no signs of the day before yesterday sprouted.

Trees move to death, people move to life.Trees are fine for just one or two years, but when they are half grown, the most taboo thing is to move their nests and roots.These jujube trees have been several years old, and Liu Junhao secretly watered them with spring water after moving them back, but seeing that the original jujube trees in the courtyard were all green, they still didn't respond.Zhang Qian became impatient, saying that it might not have been planted well at the beginning.

Liu Junhao patted his chest to assure the ticket, saying that the tree would never die, it was only the first year of planting, and their roots did not take root in the soil.However, he was afraid that there would be no way to end it in case of an accident, so he secretly watered a lot of spring water the day before yesterday, and the jujube tree sprouted immediately.

After seeing the jujube tree, he turned his attention to other fruit trees in Xinzai.All was well, the pear trees were in blossom, and the vines and walnut trees were putting forth new leaves.

In the past, the trees in the yard were all planted by old man Liu. When Liu Junhao saw it, he didn't feel much. Now, seeing the saplings he planted with his own hands sprouting and blooming, he felt a little joy in his heart.

At first, Professor Zhao asserted that the two peach trees were only two years old, and they only bloomed but did not bear fruit, but now the peach trees subverted the expert's authoritative judgment with facts.

The peach blossoms have just fallen, and there are fluffy little peaches oozing out of many branches and leaves.

The peach had just grown, and Zhang Qian regarded Wukong as a key defense target.This guy is the ancestor of eating peaches, don't let the peaches be wiped out before they are ripe.

Things are not as my wife imagined. Although the monkeys have to squat under the peach tree every day, they are not interested in this kind of green peaches at all. Instead, they guard the green peaches dutifully and prevent other greedy birds from pecking them away.

After a period of time, Liu Junhao understood that in the eyes of this guy, the peach tree full of trees might have become his personal belongings.

Wait, when he cast his eyes on the trunk of the peach tree, he frowned. Why is the peach tree starting to flow fat now? I think it should only be in summer.

He didn't notice it before, but now he walked around under the tree, only to find that there are more on the back, which are all globs of crystal clear peach butter.Will there be worms?I have the impression that peach butter will ooze out when peach trees grow worms.

But he leaned close to the tree trunk and observed it carefully for a while, but he didn't find a single insect.

Just when he couldn't figure it out, Professor Zhao's voice came from the door: "I said Xiaohao, the peaches are still far from ripe, do you need to look hard now?"

I was so dizzy, I forgot to find an expert for something, and there was a ready-made fruit planting expert in front of me, and he actually rode a donkey to find a donkey. No, this metaphor seems inappropriate.

"Uncle Zhao, hurry up and see why my peach tree has started to grow peach fat."

"No way, peach fat grows at this time?" Professor Zhao was also surprised.You must know that there are very few peach trees that flow fat in spring.But when he got under the tree, he did see a lot of peach resin oozing from the back of the tree.

"Supposedly, it shouldn't be. You've provoked bugs, isn't it..." The old man observed under the tree several times, but he couldn't find the reason in the end. Instead, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

He didn't have any equipment at hand, so he couldn't sample the peach trees for research, so he had no choice but to call his colleague to let him have time to come and get some samples for research.

"The specific reason is estimated to wait for the instrument to detect. I preliminarily deduce that it should be caused by overnutrition."
"Excess nutrients? Is that a good thing or a bad thing." This is the first time Liu Junhao has heard of the term "excess nutrients in plants."

"Generally speaking, it's a good thing. These excess nutrients are transported to the fruit, which means that your peach tree will pick up big peaches in summer."

"Then what...you don't need to worry about it." Liu Junhao already agreed with this answer in his heart.A few days ago, in order to let the peach tree bear more peaches, he poured spring water under the tree roots a lot.

Now it seems that the water will overflow, and the moon will lose when it is full. This spring water does not mean that the more the better.

"Collect these peach fats and make peach fat roasted pork for lunch. I'll try it..." Professor Zhao said, reaching out and breaking off a small piece from the tree and chewing it in his mouth.

"What... You said this thing can be used for cooking?" Liu Junhao thought he heard it wrong.

"Well, if this thing is done well, it tastes good."

"I said old man, you didn't have a rest yesterday, okay, how can you eat this thing." Liu Junhao asked in confusion.It was the first time he had heard that peach fat could be eaten, but looking at the clumps, he couldn't whet his appetite.

"You boy, I can still lie to you. Don't look at peach fat as ugly, but its nutritional value is not low. It's all fat and protein. You'll know it when it's ready. The taste will keep you wanting to eat it. "

"Really, I often hear old people say that peach gum and apricot gum will grow in their stomachs." In fact, children don't think it's dirty when they see the dark gum under the tree. They all secretly picked a piece and put it in their mouths to taste.Liu Junhao also ate that food when he was a child, and it was slippery and sticky, without any special taste.

When adults see children breaking gum, they will coax and scare them by saying that if they eat it, tumors will grow in their stomachs. Although he now knows that there is no scientific basis for this statement, he still does not believe that this thing can be eaten.

"You boy, it seems that you don't believe it if you don't show your hand. Go get a bowl of gum!" Professor Zhao rolled up his sleeves and began to pick under the tree. He picked very carefully, and there was nothing left.

It was not very eye-catching when it was on the tree, but when it was picked into a bowl, it was discovered that a bowl could not hold it at all.

After harvesting resin, Professor Zhao poured them all into hot water and rinsed them three times. The dry and hard branches became soft, and the layer of dust attached to the skin was washed away by water.The resin became crystal clear and shiny, a bit like jelly.

Maybe this thing is really edible, at this moment Liu Junhao somewhat believes it.

After the resin is soaked, the old man will stop doing it, but give pointers from the side.He knew that it was okay to move his mouth, but if he really wanted to cook, he might as well be Liu Junhao.

The rest is not complicated, wash the pork and cut into cubes.

Then heat the pan and pour oil, add diced meat, then add soy sauce for coloring, and submerge the pork in water.Then cook over high heat, add onion, ginger, salt, sugar, etc. to taste.When the pork is cooked, add peach fat and continue to cook for about 3 minutes before it comes out of the pot.

Looking at the sauce-purple peach fat, Liu Junhao couldn't help but put a small piece of it into his mouth with chopsticks. Suddenly, a smooth feeling raged in his mouth with a hot burn, leaving a mouthful of fresh fragrance.

Bite the teeth lightly, with a sticky feeling in the slippery, a bit like powder skin, but more slippery, very chewy.

"How is it?" Professor Zhao asked with a smile on his face.

"It feels like 'cool'!" Liu Junhao couldn't help smacking his lips, reminiscing about the refreshing, slightly sweet feeling.This kind of taste has never been tasted before, fresh, crisp, smooth, sweet... There is no words to describe it, only one word "shuang" can be used to sum it up.

He greedily looked at the peach butter in the pot, and finally made up his mind to stop tasting it.

Half of these will be given to Professor Zhao, and the rest will be tasted after his wife comes back.You can't let yourself eat good things alone, right?

The dishes have been fried, and the rest is cooking. Liu Junhao planned to boil some millet porridge early, so that he can eat it directly when his wife comes back.

At first I thought I was ignorant, but when Zhang Qian heard that the vegetables in the bowl were made of peach fat, she asked with wide eyes, "How can this be eaten?"

Finally, under Liu Junhao's strong recommendation, she carefully put a piece into her mouth.As a result, he never put down his chopsticks again, and didn't even have time to answer her husband's questions.

Not much has happened yet, the half bowl of vegetables has been divided up, and both of them feel a little unfinished after eating.

"Take a look tomorrow, if there is any new peach butter, if there is any, we will make it tomorrow."

Fainted, how could it be so fast.But Liu Junhao also finds it very novel now, never thought that this kind of seemingly inconspicuous thing can be eaten, and the taste is very good.

After lunch, after sending Zhang Qian out, Liu Junhao continued to wander around.In the morning, he originally planned to add some vegetable leaves to the grass snails in the backyard, but was delayed by the matter of peach fat, and completely forgot about it.

Taking advantage of the time now, Liu Junhao went to the backyard to pick up cabbage leaves.There are still five Chinese cabbage left in this plot, each of which is fifty or sixty centimeters high. The cabbage is splayed out, and it is frighteningly big, thicker than a washbasin.

At this time, the season for eating cabbage has already passed. Those few cabbages were planted last autumn, and there are not many varieties, so they were planted on less than one fraction of the land.But even so, they didn't finish eating, mainly because he and Zhang Qian didn't like cabbage very much.So let it grow, and sometimes cut a tree to improve Chitu's life.Speaking of which, this cabbage is also quite frost-resistant. In such a cold weather last year, this cabbage was fine.When it comes to spring, it will glow with a second spring, growing taller and bigger.

Zhang Qian thought they were in the way and wanted to get rid of them early, but Liu Junhao insisted on staying.The main reason is that grass-feeding snails need green vegetables, and this thing is just right, just peel off two layers when needed.

After experiencing the severe winter, the grass snails began to grow rapidly. They had already eaten several meals in the spring, and the rest were left at the request of Er Mazi.

Hey... What are those light yellow things in the pile of miscellaneous trees?After feeding the snails, Liu Junhao wanted to go straight back to the front yard, but when he turned his head, he saw that the plastic sheet that was originally covering the pile of miscellaneous trees was lifted up high.The plastic did not fit, and some pale yellow branches were faintly revealed.

The two of them haven't moved since they found bats clustered in the pile of miscellaneous trees, and they usually don't come to observe when they have nothing to do.Seeing this thing now, he was a little puzzled, and hurried forward to remove the plastic sheet.

Tender bamboo poles, bamboo shoots?This... where did it all come from, but I have never planted anything in my yard.

In spring, Liu Junhao had the idea of ​​digging some bamboo roots from Professor Zhao's house.However, I am usually busy with miscellaneous things, so I have never had a chance to dig.

Unexpectedly, such a large clump grew silently in my own backyard, but it really came from whatever I wanted.

When his eyes touched the thin bamboo on the other side of the courtyard wall, Liu Junhao realized that it must have been drilled by the bamboo poles of the bamboo forest in Professor Zhao's courtyard.

This is all right, no more digging by hand.

These bamboo poles have been wrapped in plastic sheets and have never seen sunlight, so they cannot see the blue color at all.

Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and pinched it, it was so crispy and tender, I'm afraid it can be fried and eaten directly.
