Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 405 Eating Grasshoppers

Autumn is cool!

Liu Junhao held the red rabbit in his hand, and led the two macula and Wukong directly down to the river beach.After arriving at the place, spread the red rabbit and let it stroll by the river.Anyway, there are no crops nearby, so you can do whatever you want.

He himself found a clean place and sat on the grass in a daze with a book in hand.

Wukong played by his master's side for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so he went to catch grasshoppers and feed his starlings.

It is true that grasshoppers in autumn can't live for a few days.Now the grasshoppers are about to lay eggs, and they are big and fat.Especially the "Old Pole" and "Bandit Head", each of which is as long as a finger, which is very heavy in the hand.

He couldn't read the book at all, and Liu Junhao started to fall asleep after turning two pages.He simply closed the book, moved his neck a few times and looked up at the surrounding scenery.September is the harvest season, the sky is very blue, very pure, and the blue is amazing.The white clouds on the top of the head are like neatly arranged scales.

Looking into the distance, the Baitiao River flows slowly into the distance like a soft ribbon wrapped around the reeds on both sides; the trees on the farther mountains show a pale yellow color, and occasionally a few trees glow brilliant red; the field The crops here are getting darker and greener, and they seem to be ready to catch the last madness at the end of the season.

In this situation, Liu Junhao missed a few poems to express his feelings, but racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't think of a word that fit the situation.

On the contrary, a sentence "a dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand", but I can't think of the next two sentences... The knowledge in the textbook has long been handed over to the teacher.

Hey, it seems that I really don't have the talent to be a poet.

When did my buddy become sentimental? Liu Junhao no longer thought about those two lines of poems, and started to close his eyes and meditate.

After a while, the plastic bag in the monkey's hand was filled with a small half bag of grasshoppers.This guy excitedly ran to show off in front of his master, Liu Junhao was so impatient of being harassed that he had to get up and tie the plastic bag tightly, then took out another plastic bag and handed it over.

These plastic bags were originally used to pick up chrysanthemums and chrysanthemums, but now they are requisitioned by monkeys.

Seeing the monkeys busy in front of him, Liu Junhao recalled the scene of catching grasshoppers when he was a child.In the past, grasshoppers were always caught in series with foxtails: the left hand held the grasshopper tightly to break the grasshopper's head down, and the right hand pinched the grass stem from under the neck of the grasshopper's back and pierced it up, directly piercing the neck and saddle membrane. Rotten, and then pierced out from under the head.Then pull it to the bottom of the dog's tail, the grasshopper will be blocked by not picking off the dog's tail.

Just wear them one by one, and you can wear a whole bunch of them in ten minutes.Sometimes I get excited about catching, and I can catch seven or eight skewers in one afternoon, and I can hold them all in my hand.Big and small, blue and yellow, they look very fulfilling.

Sometimes the head of the bandit who is particularly strong will kick on the skewer, kicking off the body of the grasshopper that was put on earlier, leaving only the head hanging there alone.

Liu Junhao also summed up his experience in catching grasshoppers. The best time to find grasshoppers is when the sun is about to set.At that time, the dew had already fallen, the temperature in the fields was relatively low, and the activity of the grasshoppers was greatly weakened.They tend to climb the branches at the moment.

Early the next morning, when the sun was still out, I looked for the short branches on the side of the road, and I found that there were bunches of grasshoppers everywhere.One by one lying there is very honest, you can pick it directly.

But these are things that happened when he was a child, he doesn't have that kind of leisure at all now, he would rather lie down and bask in the sun than move.

The dry weather this summer is very suitable for the survival of grasshoppers, which are everywhere on the river beach.In just over two hours, the monkey had already filled two and a half plastic bags.Liu Junhao weighed it with his hands, and it weighed more than two catties.

With so many grasshoppers, it is estimated that two starlings can eat them for half a month.

Seeing that it was not early, he took the red rabbit and walked back along the way he came.Wukong was still with his master at first, but soon disappeared.When I saw it again, this guy was gnawing on a corn cob, and I don't know whose plot it was broken from.

"Zhizhi" saw his master, and this guy excitedly raised his jade stick.

Liu Junhao reached out to take it and pinched it, and found that the corn kernels had hardened, and it was time to cook and eat, and it would not taste good after a while.

Seeing that other people's corn was about to mature, Liu Junhao remembered the more than 20 plants of his own, and now it's time to cook and eat.

In the past, people in the village gave him tender corn to eat, but the couple who always eat others are also embarrassed.

When planting sesame seeds this year, Liu Junhao casually scattered a handful of corn kernels that he fed to chickens and ducks on the bottom of the wall in the backyard.

At the beginning, the corn seedlings grew well, but when there was a heavy rain in summer, he forgot to open the water channel in the backyard.As a result, the courtyard was flooded with rain, and it was only after the water was drained that most of the corn seedlings were drowned.

Seeing that they were half dead, Liu Junhao simply stopped caring about them, as if he had never planted them.

Who would have thought that the vitality of these corn seedlings is so strong that more than 20 corn plants have come to life, and they have grown higher and higher. Now the corn cobs produced are [-] to [-] centimeters long.

If the more than 20 corn cobs are mature, they can beat more than a dozen catties of corn, which will not work at all.Therefore, Liu Junhao has no plan to let them mature, and is going to cook and eat them directly, which is enough for the couple to satisfy their greed.

Back home, Zhang Qian was already sitting in the yard eating grapes.Seeing her husband enter the yard, she greeted lazily, and then screamed "Ah".

Liu Junhao was taken aback, thinking his wife was going crazy.

"Honey, this is the grasshopper you caught, why don't we fry the grasshopper tonight?"

Since Zhang Qian was pregnant, she always wanted to eat something new.Now seeing those two bags of grasshoppers, I always have a desire to eat them.

Grasshoppers are caught on the river beach, there is absolutely no pollution, and it is okay to fry and eat.But Liu Junhao is worried about whether pregnant women can eat it.

Now all the actions are based on his wife. Hearing that Zhang Qian wanted to eat fried grasshoppers, he immediately looked up information on the Internet.Since his daughter-in-law became pregnant, Liu Junhao checked the Internet for almost every meal he cooked to see if it should be avoided by pregnant women.

Hmm... Grasshoppers are rich in protein, so it's okay for pregnant women to eat them, as long as they're not too much.

However, the freshly caught grasshoppers can't be fried yet, and they need to starve for a day until their stomachs are cleaned up.

Liu Junhao was afraid that the grasshopper would be smothered to death after a long time, so he didn't dare to delay, so he poured the grasshopper into the wooden basin early.Of course, in order to prevent the chickens and ducks in the courtyard from stealing food, he specially covered the basin with two pieces of screens.

At night, I still cook corn. The homemade corn tastes sweet and has a texture.Zhang Qian gnawed on one and planned to continue eating, but Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped it. Although the corn was delicious, he couldn't eat too much.

"Wear red jackets on July [-]th, and beat red dates on August [-]th." It's not even the eighth and a half of the lunar calendar, and the dates on several jujube trees in Liu Junhao's yard turned red in three to five days.The branches are heavy and densely hung, and a large red cloud can be seen every few kilometers, which is really gratifying.

Today, Saturday, I can finally have a good rest at home. After breakfast, my wife thought about eating red dates. Liu Junhao immediately recruited Wukong to go up the tree to beat the dates.Just as they were fighting vigorously, the gang of brats in the village got the news somehow, and seven or eight of them came here in a short while.

Well, I can only ask Wukong to hit some more dates.

While busy in the courtyard, Huo Jun's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Today, he went to Liujiagou to buy mountain goods, and by the way, gave Liu Junhao dust-free chalk.

This dust-free chalk was specially asked by Liu Junhao to buy from the city, and it was for his daughter-in-law to use in class.The school chalk is not unusable, but the dust after writing is relatively large, and it is easy to inhale the lungs.

Liu Junhao didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that his daughter-in-law is pregnant, he naturally has to consider it.To be on the safe side, he deliberately asked someone to hear that dust-free chalk could be used.Now I don't care about spending a few extra dollars, everything is based on my wife's safety.

Zhang Qian didn't intend to use it at first, but she couldn't hold back her husband, so she had to let him mess around.

"Xiaohao, your jujubes are already ripe, why don't you harvest them all today? Just bring me a few dozen catties back." Huo Jun immediately called out when he saw the jujube trees full of trees when he entered the yard.

Liu Junhao heard him mention it, then looked at so many people in the courtyard, and nodded accordingly.

Several brats cheered and volunteered to go back and borrow long bamboo poles and hooks.

Several adults stood shaking under the jujube tree with one hand, and immediately there was a heavy rain.

These bear children got into the kitchen and took out several plastic bowls from Liu Junhao's house to pick up dates.The hard red dates are crispy and sweet, and they stuff them into their mouths while picking them up.

After a while, the bamboo baskets filled with jujubes were full, and Liu Junhao hurriedly asked Professor Zhao to get two more baskets from home.

After working for more than two hours, all the people beat up the jujubes on the tree.There are still many on the top of the tree, but unfortunately they can't reach them.I can only keep it for now, and let Wukong pick it up when I have time.

Huo Jun originally wanted to find a cloth bag of dates, but when he entered the house and saw the grasshopper in the wooden basin, he was very interested. He asked where he caught it, and wanted Liu Junhao to give him half a catty and go back to fry it.

"It was caught on the river beach. If you want to eat it, you can catch it yourself. There are a lot of them on the river beach, everywhere," Liu Junhao replied.

As soon as Huo Jun became interested, he immediately ran to the river beach.

Catching grasshoppers may seem simple, but in fact it is not easy to catch. First of all, grasshoppers have protective colors on their bodies, and if you are not careful, you will miss them.And the jumping ability of many grasshoppers is amazing. If you react a little slower, it will fly away from your fingers.Don't use too much force when catching, otherwise the grasshopper will be crushed to pieces.

Huo Jun had never caught grasshoppers before, and he acted clumsily. It took him a long time to catch seven or eight grasshoppers.

Reluctantly, he went to Liu Junhao's house again to ask for advice, and in the end he didn't do it himself, but called Maozi and others to help catch grasshoppers, and each one cost a dime.

These brats are also idle when they are idle, and they are naturally motivated when they are rewarded with money.They ran to the river beach to catch grasshoppers, and it took only half an hour to catch a large plastic bag.

Huo Jun only planned to get some grasshoppers to eat at home, so he didn't let them catch more grasshoppers, and stopped after collecting three catties.

Thank you everyone, the memory card can now be used, today's update is still the same, or two updates.

Depressed to say, just now I was sweating anxiously, and tried all kinds of methods according to the tips of my friends, but it didn't work (my computer skills are really not flattering), so I had no choice but to call the network administrator for help.Who knew that someone wiped the memory card with paper a few times, and then plugged it into the computer and it worked.

That's okay too... I learned a trick, and I hope there will be no problems in the future.

Well, the time for the second update may be relatively late, everyone should go to bed early and watch it tomorrow.

Not good for staying up late...
