Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 489 Time and Money

"You take me to recognize it now, don't wait to be cut off by someone in the late afternoon." He Yifan didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Okay." Liu Junhao nodded, and just as he was about to take him out, he heard Xiaowazi yelling outside: "Uncle Xiaohao, lend me your cart."

"What are you doing?" he asked knowingly.

"La Yumucao, you don't know that Yumucao is also worth a lot now. I, Brother Qiyong, sold it for a few hundred yuan in the morning. Last time I picked up the muddy loach..." The brat was very excited.

"Go and pull it, I don't need my help." Liu Junhao didn't know how much fish, wood and grass they cut. Since they used the cart, there should be a lot.

"No, the five of us can pull it." Xiaowazi pulled up the car and ran fast, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Brother-in-law, take me there quickly, don't wait for the ones in the yard to be robbed." He Yifan couldn't wait any longer: Well, time is money.

"This is it" Liu Junhao pointed to the plant next to Artemisia.

"So many," He Yifan exclaimed, grabbed the sickle and worked hard.

"I'll go back first, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." Liu Junhao replied, turned his head and walked home.

It's nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, and the sun is scorching hot.There are few trees in this place, and the sage bushes cover it, so there is no wind at all.After just staying by the side for a few minutes, he felt hot sweat protruding from his forehead, so naturally he had no intention of staying any longer.

If He Yifan wanted to make money, let him know how difficult it is to make money, and he would also know how to save money when spending his parents' money in the future.

After Liu Junhao left, He Yifan worked hard, and within a few minutes, a small haystack was piled up under his feet.

He only paid attention to turning his head to mow the grass, and didn't pay attention to his feet at all. Just as he took a step forward with his left foot, he only felt his foot go soft, as if he stepped on something.

Subconsciously looking at his feet, He Yifan's face suddenly turned pale, and his body completely froze there.

A big snake nearly two meters long was warming in the sun, and he stepped on it suddenly. The snake hoe suddenly rolled up its thick body and wrapped it around his ankle. The long letter kept swallowing and hissing. sound.

"Oh my god...brother-in-law!" Seeing the scarlet letter of the big snake, He Yifan finally came back to his senses and yelled loudly.He stretched out his feet and kept kicking, trying to shake off the big snake.

There was a lot of cicadas shouting in the woods, and the noise had long blocked the shouting.Besides, when he was cutting fish, wood and grass, he walked all the way forward, and now he was 50 meters away from the yard, so Liu Junhao could not hear him.

He yelled a few times, but got no response.Instead, he yelled and shook his thighs one after another, scaring the snake, and opened its mouth to bite its ankle.

From He Yifan stepping on the snake to the snake biting him, it took only a few seconds.

In desperation, the brat came to his senses and hurriedly grabbed the sickle and chopped off the big snake's neck.

Unbiased, it just hit the snake's head.The big snake rolled up in pain and retracted its head.

He Yifan only felt a huge pain in his ankle, as if he was being squeezed by something, and his body staggered.With his left hand he hastily grabbed to the side, just in time to support a Chinese wolfberry tree, so he didn't fall down.

But newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so this guy's energy was aroused, and the sickle hooked the big snake's belly and pulled it.

"Crack..." He used a lot of force this time, directly cutting a hole in the snake's abdomen.

The big snake turned over in pain, let go of He Yifan's ankle, turned around and swam deep into the grass.

On the contrary, He Yifan refused to let go, and used a sickle to cut down the wolfberry tree next to him several times, cutting off the branches of the wolfberry tree, and then grabbed the branches and chased after the big snake.

The snake was very slow after being cut by him, He Yifan chased after it in a few steps, grabbed the branch and hit the snake's head fiercely.

The big snake was probably stunned by the beating, and couldn't escape no matter how entangled it was, and finally lay weak on the ground and died.

Seeing the snake lying motionless across the grass, He Yifan realized his heart was beating rapidly at this moment.The blue and yellow body, as well as the looming "king" character on the head, no matter how you think it is not an ordinary snake.It was the first time he had seen such a huge snake, and it looked like a poisonous snake.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't let the snake bite me.

He Yifan didn't dare to delay, so he hurried home and called Liu Junhao.

"What, a poisonous snake?!" Hearing that he was almost bitten by a big snake just now, Liu Junhao didn't cook, and hurriedly led Xiaopi to the back of the courtyard in a panic.

He was relieved when he saw the snake's appearance, and his feelings were cauliflower snakes.

"Not poisonous? Why is the color so scary?" He Yifan asked puzzled.

"Hehe, the color of many non-poisonous snakes is very conspicuous. There are few poisonous snakes in Daqing Mountain, and they are usually found in deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to meet them outside the mountains. You kill this one. It is called cauliflower snake. Its scientific name is Wang Jin snake. It can be boiled for snake soup. This snake is not too big, the one that Xiaopi caught the year before last was only big, and Xiaopi and I ate three meals of stew." Liu Junhao said and picked up the big snake, intending to get it back and give it to his mother clouded leopard for tooth sacrifice.It's hot now, and the clouded leopards seldom go out to hunt during the day, and usually hide in the courtyard to enjoy the cool.

These guys stayed under the tree, but they frightened the animals in the yard. Except for the two yellow spots, most of the chickens and ducks in Qingzhuang avoided and did not dare to get under the tree.On the contrary, Wukong is very courageous and often provokes him with a cannon.After being taught a few times by Zhang Qian, it restrained itself.

At the end, Liu Junhao said again, "You are also stupid and bold, why provoke it, what if you are bitten..."

Cauliflower snakes are ferocious and like to devour other snakes.But in the final analysis, they are just ordinary snakes, and they will not attack humans like the giant pythons in the tropical jungle.In fact, snakes are afraid of people. If there is a big movement, they will be scared away immediately. This is the origin of scaring snakes.
It is estimated that this big snake was warming in the sagebrush, and it was accidentally startled, and He Yifan stepped on its body and did not let go, which provoked the fierce attack of the cauliflower snake.

"Hurry up and go home with me, let's cut together in the afternoon." After this incident, Liu Junhao didn't dare to let him stay alone in the wormwood.

"It's okay, just leave me the little skin, and I'll cut all the fish, trees and grass here." After this incident, He Yifan became more courageous, thinking that the cauliflower snake was nothing to be afraid of.

"The meal will be ready right away, come back after the meal." Liu Junhao talked about it, and finally pulled him away.

Zhang Qian was startled when she saw her husband carrying such a big snake back, and when she asked what had happened, she was amazed at Yifan's courage.

The mother clouded leopard was rude to the food delivered to her mouth, and directly dragged the big snake out of the yard to eat.

This guy He Yifan didn't know why he was so energetic. He just had lunch and was going to cut fish, wood and grass with a sickle.Liu Junhao persuaded him several times before he stopped.

Today's highest temperature is 34 degrees, and it is steaming hot outside. He has never been in the sun before, and he will definitely peel his skin if he stays for a few hours at noon.

He Yifan agreed very well, who knew that Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian had just returned to the house to sleep, and he slipped out with a sickle in his hand.

When I got up, they had already cut all the fish, trees and grass in the puddle behind the yard, and they were just waiting to be pulled.

It was still hot at this time, and Liu Junhao didn't want to move, but seeing He Yifan's energy, he was too embarrassed to continue to stay under the fan, and hurried back to the village to find a cart.

Xiaowazi borrowed the cart in the morning and never returned it.

He Yifan's achievements at noon were not small, and the cart was full of fish, trees and grass.Liu Junhao roughly estimated that it can be sold for 200 yuan if dried in the sun.

"Brother-in-law, where in your village is there still Yumucao? Tell me, I'll go back later." Just after he carried Yumucao to the house, the brat asked again.

"There are some on the river beach, but there are very few. If you want to harvest a large area, you probably have to go to the mountains to find it." Liu Junhao thought about it and replied, usually this thing is worthless, and he really didn't pay attention to which place is more.

"Then I'll go up the mountain later. There are so many hills, and the people in your village will definitely not be able to cut them all. As long as you find one piece, you can cut it all afternoon." He Yifan said and stood up.

"I'll go with you later." Liu Junhao was afraid that something might happen to him going into the mountain alone, so he could only follow him to help.

I never thought that this time Yumucao made a lot of noise. On the road, I saw many tourists joining the mowing army with sickles.In fact, most people just join in the fun, idle in the village is also idle, it is better to go up the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and increase some income by the way.

The back mountain had just been mowed, and there was not much left, so Liu Junhao could only lead He Yifan to the depths of the mountain forest.

It is hot, and most of the birds hide in the shade to rest, but the summer insects are not afraid of the heat, and they keep singing in the bushes, filling the silence of the forest.In addition to the chirping of ground runners, there is also a kind of big-headed cricket that is the most beautiful, with a clear and melodious voice interspersed with the chirping of cicadas, making the woods and mountain roads ethereal.

Not long after entering the mountain, I found several large pieces of fish, wood and grass in the bushes one after another.

Because there were a lot of weeds among the fish, trees and grass, the two were busy until after five o'clock before mowing them all.

Seeing that it was not early, Liu Junhao asked He Yifan to go home to pull the cart, while he carried his back outside the mountain.

It is said to be back, but throw the fish, wood and grass into the stone lock, and then go out of the mountain leisurely.Almost at the foot of the mountain, Liu Junhao poured out the fish, wood and grass and waited.

With so many fish, wood and grass taken back to the yard, there is no extra space to put them, and finally they are all spread to the side of the road, intending to wait for them to dry before collecting them.I just checked the weather forecast yesterday, and there is no rain for the past two days.

"Aren't the two little guys making trouble?" When he got home, Liu Junhao asked about his son.

"You only care about the child, but you don't care about me," Zhang Qian rolled her husband's eyes and began to complain, "You come over to push the cradle, my arms are sore now."

The two little ones are now lying in the cradle and must be pushed, otherwise they will immediately grin and cry.Ordinary children fall asleep after being shaken, but these two guys are good, looking at you with wide eyes, and the more they are shaken, the more energetic they become.

After wandering around for several hours in the afternoon, my arms were so sore.

She also complained that her arms were uncomfortable, and when Liu Junhao took over the task of coaxing the children, she was already sitting in front of the computer.

Liu Junhao shook his head, not knowing what to say about his wife.

Zhang Qian opened the website on the 2th floor and couldn't see it for [-] minutes, then she yelled: "Husband, hurry up and take a look, something serious has happened!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing his daughter-in-law pointing at the computer screen, Liu Junhao hurried over.

"Unidentified creatures found in Liujiagou, suspected to be salamanders! ! "Seeing the title of the post, Liu Junhao immediately felt bad.

The tourist who posted the post described in detail the process of discovering the salamander: In the afternoon, he and some friends were cutting fish, wood and grass by the mountain stream, and accidentally saw an unknown creature in the water.At first they thought it was a fire head, so a few people jumped down to catch it, but they were surprised to find that it had four legs.They planned to catch this thing ashore for research, but no one was left to let the unknown creature run into the deep water and disappear.

There are also a few photos of catching fish in the post. Although the photos are blurry, Liu Junhao still recognizes the shadow that appears and disappears in the water as the salamander.

Several people found the rare animals, so they were naturally very excited. As soon as they returned to Liujiagou, they sent the photos to the [-]th floor.

"Brother-in-law, there are salamanders in your Liujiagou, why didn't I know that before." He Yifan was also surprised when he saw the photo.

"It has always been there, but it has not been made public," Liu Junhao replied with a sigh.

I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. If the photos are not posted on the Internet, those few tourists can still keep it a secret.Now that it has caused such a big commotion, I can't hide it no matter how much I want to hide it.

While thinking about countermeasures, Er Mazi called and said in a hurry, "Xiaohao, are you surfing the Internet at the moment?"

"Well, Uncle Guangxi, is it about the salamander?"

"You know, what do you want to do. I didn't know they found the salamander and took pictures this afternoon, so I knew they would definitely stop it." Er Mazi cried regretfully.

"I can't help it. It has been uploaded to the Internet now. I'm afraid it won't work if I want to stop it. I can only do more publicity in the village and let everyone try not to disturb the giant salamander when they go up the mountain." Liu Junhao has nothing to do. All he can think of is this.

In fact, he also knows that with the increase of tourists in Liujiagou, it will be a matter of time before the salamander is discovered.

Liu Junhao was once again thankful that he had the foresight to collect more than a dozen salamanders and put them in the stone lock.Wait for these giant salamanders to lay eggs, grow strong in the stone lock, and can be released back into the mountain stream.

Speaking of salamanders, he remembered that after he caught these guys into the stone lock, he didn't care much about them.Liu Junhao was a little worried about the ones in his stone locks, so he found a reason to go to the backyard, and then opened the stone locks.

Salamanders like to live in caves. When Liu Junhao decided to raise salamanders in stone locks, he purposely built several caves by the pool with stones, and then transplanted a lot of aquatic plants beside them.

Carefully searched around in the stone lock, the dozen or so salamanders were growing well, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Seeing this result, Liu Junhao was completely relieved.

* * *
"Wife, look quickly, our Xiao Er knows how to laugh!" Waking up in the morning, Liu Junhao turned his head unintentionally after changing the child's diaper. Make a whining sound.

"Let me see, let me see." Zhang Qian hurried into the room with the camera.The little guy just put on a smiling face and made them happy.Looking at the two little faces every day, my heart is always warm, and I hope the little ones will be happy and safe for a lifetime.Well, Zhang Qian secretly stated a few days ago that she must be a competent mother, an excellent mother.Work hard for tomorrow and fight for the future.The child and the husband will guard this warm little home built of bricks and tiles together.There are flowers, grass, trees and bamboos in the yard... You can hear birds singing early in the morning, and you can see bees flying at noon.Life is to find satisfaction, don't force too much, tell yourself, cherish what you have now, it's all joy.
They took a lot of photos of the two little guys in the morning, and they wanted to make the boss laugh, but no matter how they teased, the little guys pouted and bit their fingers.

The weather is good, and the fish, wood and grass stalls have been completely dried after a day and a night on the roadside.The next day, Er Mazi happened to drive to the street, so Liu Junhao saved all the trouble and put all the fish, wood and grass on it.

When He Yifan came back, his face was full of excitement.

"How much did you sell for?" Judging by the man's expression, he should have sold a lot.

"More than 400 yuan, by the way, brother-in-law, we were selling fish, wood and grass on the street just now, so we realized that this thing can be sold for money." He Yifan said and handed over a milky white flower.

"Wild carrot flower...someone also collects this, how much is it per catty?" Liu Junhao asked suspiciously.Wild carrot seedlings are also something that cattle and sheep do not chew on, but it is more common than fish and wood grass.There are fields all over the ditch, and one hundred catties can be harvested even by the weir pond in the village.

"It costs three yuan a catty, and I have to do it." He Yifan replied.

"Impossible, it is impossible to be so expensive," Liu Junhao immediately denied.Wild carrot seedlings are widely distributed in Daqing Mountain. If you want to cut them, you can harvest one or two thousand catties in half a day.According to what He Yifan said, at least 5000 yuan can be sold.Then people are not crazy about it, how can it be so expensive, it is impossible to think about it.

"Really, I won't lie to you, but they only want flower seeds." The brat emphasized again.

It's possible to ask for wild carrot seeds.But I haven't heard that wild carrot seeds can be used as medicinal herbs. Is it possible to use them to make tea?Modern people are so weird that they accept everything.

You don't need Liu Junhao's help to smooth out wild carrot seeds, they are everywhere.Although difficult to get, but the price is high.He Yifan bribed the monkey with a bag of ice cream to make it with him.

At lunchtime, one person and one monkey made half of the baskets to dry on the roof...but he made them all useless.

At noon, Er Mazi came to buy rice field eels, and Liu Junhao casually mentioned something about wild carrot seeds.

"Wild carrot seeds are harvested in the town? Why don't I know!" Er Mazi looked at him in surprise and asked, "How much is a catty?"

"No way," Liu Junhao was more surprised than he was, "My cousin said that the buying station personally took it out for you to see, and it costs three yuan per catty."

"Oh, they didn't take wild carrot flowers, but wild coriander." Er Mazi suddenly realized, and explained.

No wonder...that's how it is!Liu Junhao finally understood.Wild coriander and wild carrot look alike, except that the leaves of the former are smaller than the latter, and one seed is astringent, while the other is bitter.

People who are not familiar with it can easily confuse the two plants.

Wild coriander is relatively rare and generally only grows near water sources.

"What's the difference between the two?" Liu Junhao didn't see the difference after a long time comparing why Yifan found wild coriander.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to lead this person to the edge of the ditch, and make a comprehensive comparison from the roots, stems, leaves and flowers, and finally let him distinguish them.

"Three yuan a catty is not cheap," Zhang Qian became interested when she heard that wild coriander seeds were worth a lot.She is determined to get some seeds and plant them in the bushes and forests around the school next spring, so as to generate some extra income for the school.Anyway, this weed is very simple to grow, just sprinkle the seeds and don't need too much management.

"Growing wild coriander is better than planting fish and grass, which grow taller and more cost-effective," Liu Junhao suggested.
