- Chapter 391 Catching Centipedes
Zhang Qian originally wanted to be a little naughty and ask her husband to pick a bunch for her, but it turned out that he couldn't get enough of it, so she had to pick up the watermelon juice on the table.
??????????? Since becoming pregnant, my husband has become hateful and won¡¯t let me do anything.
Being really bored, she yawned and went back to the house to surf the Internet.
"No, why don't you embroider cross stitch?" Liu Junhao quickly stopped him. He now tries his best to prevent his wife from surfing the Internet and uses it as little as possible.
¡°I don¡¯t want to embroider anymore.¡± Zhang Qian kept shaking her head.
"Then let me give you a simple brain teaser. I just saw it from the Internet" Liu Junhao hurriedly diverted his wife's attention.
"You said" Zhang Qian was very interested in brain teasers.
"There are a hundred hunters in the field, and ninety-nine of them are hunting rabbits. Only one person is not hunting rabbits. May I ask why?" Liu Junhao started to make nonsense.
"" Zhang Qian pursed her lips and thought about it.
Liu Junhao likes to see his wife in this state. She looks very cute and silly with her eyebrows and pursed lips. If you have time, just take pictures with your mobile phone. When your children grow up and become sensible, let them see the "ugly" look of the old woman.
¡°It¡¯s not about caring for small animals, it¡¯s definitely not the answer.¡± Before her husband could say anything, Zhang Qian had already denied herself.
She made several guesses, but Liu Junhao shook his head no. Finally, under the urging of his wife, he gave the answer, "Because the hunter's nickname is 'Rabbit', and he is being beaten by others."
"No, it's boring. Say one more thing"
Seeing that he successfully diverted his wife's attention, Liu Junhao started talking again. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a click above his head.
He was startled and thought something was wrong. He looked up at the tree and saw that an arm-thick branch of the jujube tree was broken, revealing dark red wood.
"Husband, what's going on with the jujube tree?" Zhang Qian didn't even bother cutting her nails and stood up from the chair.
There seem to be more dates on the jujube trees this year than last year. Many of the branches are bent, and the weight is very pleasing. The knot on this broken branch is particularly thick, and it is estimated that thirty or forty kilograms of dates can be harvested. It's worth a hundred and ten dollars.
Seeing that the dates were about to mature, Zhang Qianxiao felt a little distressed when something like this happened.
Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Professor Zhao also came over to inquire.
"What else could be going on? Jujube trees are troubled by too many fruits." Liu Junhao pointed to the broken branch and said, "Look at the dark red cross section of the branch. This is because it has been hollowed out by insects. In addition, this year's number of dates many."
¡°I¡¯m telling you, these dates are green and shiny, and they look like they¡¯re already crispy. It¡¯s a pity to hang them on a tree. Let¡¯s make jujube steamed buns after we get them down later,¡± Professor Zhao suggested.
"Okay, I'll call all the naughty kids in the village to pick up dates." Liu Junhao had this intention and immediately went out to call for people. There are so many dates that three people can't pick up all, so it's better to find a few more helpers.
I heard that he was beating dates in his courtyard, and children came in droves, and even a few tourists came to watch the fun. Liu Junhao's jujubes are famous among tourists. They all know that these jujubes are big and tasty, and they taste sweet in the mouth.
Seeing that the people were about to arrive, he pointed at the broken branch and said "Zao Zi". Wukong reacted immediately, and rushed to the branch with three strokes, five divided by two, and the guy shook the branch, and a jujube rain fell in the courtyard.
"Wukong, stop." Liu Junhao hurriedly called a stop when he saw that the date was about the same.
Wukong was obedient and stopped immediately.
Seeing that the dates stopped falling, the group of children started to grab them. Liu Junhao also picked up a few casually, wiped the soil on them clean and tasted them. It was indeed sweet and sweet.
Wukong was wilted and wilted. When he saw people gathering under the jujube tree, he suddenly started shaking the branches again.
"Crackling" the dates fell again, beating the children who were picking up the dates until they ran away.
Liu Junhao hurriedly scolded him, but the guy was disobedient. Instead, he squeaked excitedly and kept moving his paws.
Wukong¡¯s interest came and went quickly, so he sat alone in the jujube tree and ate jujubes.
This broken jujube branch will definitely not survive. There are still many jujubes on it, which are left to waste on the tree. Liu Junhao took out a long bamboo pole hook from under the eaves, directly took down the jujube branches, and prepared to dry them in the sun and light the fire.
Liu Junhao didn¡¯t want the dates picked up by the naughty children, and let them eat and play by themselves. I have picked up a few kilograms at home, enough to make jujube steamed buns.
Who would have thought that these guys didn't have enough to eat. After a while, they ate up all the jujubes in their hands and made a fuss about eating them. Liu Junhao was afraid of destroying the tree againWhen it is broken, he follows the will of the people and picks up the bamboo pole and hook to swing it.
At this moment, Liu Wuye entered the yard, and Liu Junhao stopped quickly to treat him to some jujubes.
"Yes, these dates are sweeter than those from the two trees in my yard." Mr. Liu Wu couldn't help but praise them after tasting them. After resting for a while, he finally revealed his purpose, "Xiao Hao, do you have any centipedes in your backyard? If so, catch a few for me. I'll use them later"
"Fifth Master, you want to catch the centipede, let me help you" Before Liu Junhao could interrupt, the boy had already volunteered to stand up.
"You kid, get away. Do you know Centipede?" Liu Wuye slapped him on the head and sat the naughty boy down on the chair.
"Fifth Master, why are you thinking about catching centipedes at this time? Isn't it the right time? Why don't you wait until I have time in Qiuli to help you?" Liu Junhao asked doubtfully.
??????? Actually, he¡¯s not refusing, this is really not the best time to catch a centipede. If you want to catch centipedes, you usually catch them in spring, from the time of awakening to the Qingming Festival. Because centipedes usually burrow into the soil and spend the winter when the weather is cold in October, only to wake up when they wake up. At this time, the centipede has rested for the winter. Its skin is thick and shiny, and it is extremely plump. It is best used as medicine.
After the beginning of summer, many centipedes begin to hide in bricks, stones or weeds to lay eggs and molt, making them quite difficult to catch. It's not easy to find if you don't look hard. In addition, there is a lot of rain in summer, and it is difficult to keep the captured centipedes dry. If you are not careful, they will become infested with insects and rot. At this time, the centipede meat is thin and of poor quality, and can only be regarded as a defective product.
"It was hot a few nights ago, and your wife was sleeping on the floor. As a result, she got rheumatism and felt uncomfortable all over her body. I made a recipe and needed a dozen centipedes to make the medicine. I won't ask you to come here"
"I tell you, Fifth Master, if you are sick, go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't delay. Where did you get that prescription?" Liu Junhao hurriedly dissuaded him.
"It's okay, this is an old problem of yours. I have used this recipe before. Your backyard is big, your house is old, and the grass is thick. I guess there should be a lot of centipedes"
Liu Wuye was right. Centipedes like to eat insects such as caterpillars and cockroaches. Liu Junhao's backyard is suitable for centipedes to live, but he hasn't seen even one in such a long time. You can imagine the reason: Although centipedes are scary, they actually have many natural enemies. Rats, roosters, birds, and even ants can eat centipedes.
When it comes to centipedes, most people know that they are known as the "Five Poisons" along with snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads, and they rank first among the five poisons.
It is also a kind of Chinese medicinal material. In the early years, centipedes appeared in large numbers in summer and autumn, and there were people on the streets of Qingshan Town who specialized in buying centipedes. The centipedes are priced differently according to their size. Centipedes under nine centimeters cost 5 cents each, medium centipedes cost 10 cents, and large centipedes cost 3 cents each.
At that time, you could buy a popsicle, a handful of melon seeds, or beef tendons for 5 cents. This is a good way to generate income and improve life. Liu Junhao was crazy about centipedes when he was a child. They don't care what people buy Centipede for, anyway, they just pay the money and deliver it.
¡°I would often put down my schoolbag as soon as I got out of school in the afternoon, carry a small spike and rake all over the village to find centipedes and catch scorpions.
Catching centipedes is an experience job. You must first choose a good terrain. These centipedes usually live in dark and humid places. Therefore, the base of an adobe wall in the shade is the first choice, especially if there are stones, tiles, rotten leaves, and centipedes on the base of the wall. Just use a rake to dig out a strip.
At this time, as long as you are brave and careful, press the centipede with the teeth of the rake, then hold the centipede's head with your hands, pull out the two fangs of the centipede, and throw it into the can, and you will get a dime.
But it should be noted that you must not use too much force, otherwise it will be worthless to break the centipede. Later, they made too much noise and almost dug up the adobe house of Liu Junyi's family. As a result, they found them in school and the teacher scolded them. Helpless, these guys had no choice but to look outside the village. I don¡¯t know who first discovered that there were many centipedes in and around the dilapidated tomb, and they were quite large.
So, a group of naughty children didn¡¯t know how to be afraid, so they went to dig the grave with a rake. Of course, they did not dare to touch the graves in the village, but went to the hillside to look for the ownerless graves.
"I don't know how many years they have been piled up. They are in disrepair and have become piles of rocks. In many cases, skeletons can be seen through the gaps.
The timid ones would have been frightened when they saw this thing, but they did it with great interest. The most awesome thing about Liu Junhao was when he saw a huge centipede in the eye socket of the skeleton. A group of people didn't dare to touch it. He just kicked it a few times with his feet. When the centipede came out, he just pinched it with his hands and threw it away. into the bottle.
Then he rubbed his hands in the adoring eyes of his friends and showed off?I was extremely proud. Later I thought about my actions at that time which were quite bad.
Another time, when I was playing Ju with my classmates after class, I accidentally discovered a dozen fat centipedes in the corner of the wall. He and Liu Qiyong pulled out the centipede's teeth and secretly put them in a classmate's pencil case.
Waiting for those students to open their pencil boxesyou can imagine the situation at that time
The students spent the entire self-study class screaming and jumping around, and many timid female classmates cried until they were confused.
Of course, this matter was quickly reported to the teacher, and several participants were grabbed by their ears and thrown outside to make them stand. As the culprits, Liu Junhao and Liu Qiyong received special "care" from the teacher with bamboo sticks, which almost swollen their hands.
