    Chapter 416: The worm-eating man

    "Oh dig it up quickly. I haven't seen a kingfisher's nest yet." When Jiang Feng heard that the little thing that flew out just now was a kingfisher, Jiang Feng suddenly became excited.

    Don¡¯t talk about him, several other tourists were also very interested. They had never seen a kingfisher building a nest before.

    Liu Junhao shrugged, "There's nothing to see, just a hole."

    Although kingfishers are rare now, they were very common when they were young.  These guys only live in caves, which are close to the water. Liu Junhao has caught them several times before when he was young.  Catching small kingfishers is very simple, you can just hook them out with branches.  Generally, they have no hair or open eyes. A few have a few hairs, and some fish bones and other things are hooked out of the holes.  Other than that, there is nothing in the cave.

    But when fishing by the river, they still like to fish where there are kingfishers.  Because kingfishers only eat fish the size of a finger. Where there are kingfishers, it means there are small fish. If there are small fish, there must be big fish.

    "It's not that simple, right?" The hole was not deep, so Jiang Feng dug it to the bottom with just a few shovels.

    To their disappointment, the situation inside the cave was no different from what Liu Junhao said, not even a root of grass was seen.

    After two accidents, these tourists finally realized that digging mouse holes was not that simple, and they all asked Liu Junhao to help find them.

    There were many mouse holes beside the ditch. In less than two minutes, he found four.

    No one bothered him, Liu Junhao swung the shovel very fast, and dug the mouse barn directly in a few minutes.  Of course those mice didn't run away, they were all bitten to death by Yellow Spot Skin.

    The food stored by voles is far less than that of mountain mice. Only a dozen kilograms of food were dug out in one barn, mainly peanuts and soybeans.

    By the time a few tourists dug the remaining vole holes to the bottom, it was almost dark.

    The harvest was good I dug seventy or eighty kilograms of grain in one afternoon.  However, there was too much soil in the grain and it was inedible, so we had to take it back and feed it to the chickens and ducks.

    Those tourists just wanted to have fun, and all the food they dug was given to Liu Junhao.

    Looking at half the bag of grain, Liu Junhao felt a small sense of accomplishment.  The next day, I simply picked up my shovel and searched for mouse holes in the mountains and fields. I was just doing nothing at home. This can be regarded as generating income.

    In a few days, he led Huang Pippi around the nearby ditch slopes and dug out five or six bags of grain, which was enough for the chickens and ducks in the yard to eat all winter.

    But his carefree life soon came to an end. As soon as he returned home and before he put down his shovel, Liu Guangju called and asked him to go to the village for a meeting as soon as possible.

    Liu Junhao washed his hands and led Wukong towards the village.  Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the puddle, he saw the furry boy waving to him from afar, "Uncle Hao, come here and let me tell you something."

    Liu Junhao knew that this naughty boy had a sinister smile on his face and that something was up to him.

    The expressions of the little boy and others next to him also confirmed his guess. Several guys laughed sneer, their little faces turning red from suppressing their emotions.

    "You little kid, are you making trouble again? I'll go back and tell Teacher Zhang later" Liu Junhao scolded.  This naughty kid has never done anything good. I don¡¯t know what he is thinking about now.  I was anxiously waiting for the meeting, so I had no time to mess around with him.

    "Come here, it must be a good thing." The boy kept shaking a lit cigarette in his hand.

    "Get out of here, I'm leaving." Liu Junhao turned around and saw the little boy looking at a pile of freshly baked cow dung not far away, and he suddenly understood.  The little guy was playing with it in front of him, wondering if this set was leftover from his own play.

    "Ah, what are you doing?" Seeing that he was not fooled, the boy could only shout loudly from behind.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just say no, Uncle Hao is so smart,¡± a child stepped forward and shouted.

    Before he could get closer, Mao Boy suddenly thrust the cigarette in his hand into the cow dung on the ground, "You guys run, I'm going to light firecrackers"

    When he said this, the group of naughty children immediately ran away and tried several times. I don't know whether he was having too much fun or God was planning to play a trick on him. This time when he was putting the cigarette on the cannon, tragedy happened  This guy actually lit the fuse, and what was even more tragic was that it happened to be placed where the cannon paper touched.

    "Tong" only heard a dull sound, and egg-thick firecrackers exploded.

    Cow dung splashed everywhere The furry child realized the biggest truth in life: life is like a coffee table, filled with cups.

    His hair, clothes, and shoes were all covered in wet cow dung, and it was the kind that had just come out of the oven and couldn't be wiped off.

    Several naughty children in the distance were startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

    By the time Liu Junhao arrived at Liu Guang¡¯s house, the house was already full of people.

    Seeing everyone gathered, Liu Guangju coughed twice and handed the paper in his hand toHe went and said, "Lao San and I have already calculated the income of our village this year on this piece of paper. Can you pass it on to each other and discuss how to divide it?"

    Er Mazi exclaimed as soon as he took it: "So many, be a good boy"

    "It's quite a lot." Liu Laosan went over and pointed to several figures above to explain, "Selling firewood chickens is a big deal. This year, we raised several thousand chickens and sold them together with eggs. The profit alone is more than 60,000 yuan. In addition, including land parcels for tourists,  The total cost of renting a hotel is more than 100,000 yuan." This piece of paper was passed around in the hands of several people, and everyone was calculating in their minds how much money each household could get.  In fact, it doesn't amount to much, just three to four thousand yuan per household.

    "Ahem," Liu Guangju watched everyone finish, then cleared his throat and started to say, "We can't divide all this money. We need to support part of it first. In addition, we need to buy fruit trees for the farmer's orchard in the village, and for the chicken farm next year.  Expand the scale and strive to raise 10,000 chickens" "Uncle Guangju, can you tell me how much money each household can get?" Liu Junqi urged.  Everyone came today to wait for the money, and no one wanted to hear his grand plan.

    "We initially plan to allocate 3,000 yuan to each household, and the remaining money will be used to buy fruit saplings next spring. When the orchards bear fruit, the income should be higher." Seeing that no one wanted to hear his plan, Liu Guang could only briefly describe a few  sentence, and then ask everyone to go back and discuss it. If there is no objection, then the money will be divided as stated.  Three thousand yuan is not much, but the villagers are still very happy to get the money.

    After the meeting, Liu Junhao thought about growing rapeseed and quickly grabbed Er Mazi.

    "What, are you able to grow rapeseed now? Are you a brainless person? You didn't think about planting until other people's rapeseed was planted and all the seedlings came out. What were you doing  "Er Mazi heard him ask for rapeseed and said it was unreliable.  If you want to plant rapeseed at this time, it is best to go to the street and buy some varieties with strong frost resistance.

    Liu Junhao can only say to plant and see. He just checked on the Internet and found that as long as the temperature is higher than 3 degrees Celsius, rapeseed can germinate and emerge.  If it really doesn't work, I still have Shi Suo to help me.

    Seeing his insistence, Er Mazi went home and brought over a pound of rapeseed, which his family had reserved for pressing oil during the New Year.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Farming requires plowing with iron plows, but Liu Junhao couldn't use it in his courtyard, so he could only spread it casually and wait for spring to replenish the seedlings.

    After scattering the seeds back and forth in the backyard twice, there were still a lot of seeds left, so Liu Junhao simply got into the stone lock again and scattered them all on the sand.

    After the money was distributed to the villagers, the matter of planting fruit trees on private land was also decided, requiring each family to provide a laborer to dig tree nests.

    This kind of physical exertion was originally a matter for young people. Who knew that many tourists would also ask to participate in it after hearing about it, and quite a few of them were elderly people who were retiring in Liujiagou.

    ¡°These old men are all in their sixties, and most of them were ill when they first came to Liujiagou.  But with the care of mediocre food, everything is now healthy.

    They have nothing to do except play chess and read newspapers every day. In their own words, their bodies are almost sick, so they need to move their muscles and bones.

    Liu Guangju saw that everyone was really asking for it, so he had no choice but to agree.

    Other people's private land also grows some vegetables every year. The land of Liu Junhao's family has never been managed at all, and it is completely deserted.  There are a lot of miscellaneous trees growing in the middle of the field now, and he needs to sort them out early to make room.

    After visiting the private property, he started to have a headache.  Not counting the two dying poplar trees, there were a dozen other saplings, all of which had to be moved.  The tree has grown to three or four meters high. It would be a pity to cut it down and use it as firewood.  However, my yard is full of fruit trees and there is no free space at all.

    He had no choice but to go back to the village and ask who could poach them directly.  Unexpectedly, when I asked around the village, no one cared about these miscellaneous trees.

    There is really no market for some common saplings in rural areas, mainly because of their strong reproductive ability.  Take the hairy wolfberry tree as an example. Birds like to eat the fruits it bears.  After the seeds are digested in the bird's belly, they fall on the ground along with the bird droppings, and a large nest of wolfberry trees will definitely appear there the next year.

    "However, this kind of tree attracts insects very easily and has no other use except as firewood. When rural people see this kind of tree growing on their houses, they just cut it down."

    Helpless, Liu Junhao could only find a few people to help cut down the tree.

    When the poplar tree fell down, he was about to drag it home to dry it and burn it, but he was stopped by a tourist.

    "Xiao Hao, don't panic, wait until I get the bugs out of the tree." The man pointed to the worm holes in the poplar tree and said, "I guess there are a lot of bugs in there, just take them back and fry them."

    "What" A few people who were helping thought they were incompetent.

    "Eat it fried, haven't you ever eaten it?"

    Everyone shook their heads quickly, and when they looked at each other again, they were a little confused.??ãÀ.

    I don¡¯t know where this person is from, what kind of job does he do?  It has such taste.

    Liu Junhao is really curious. Most people feel sick when they see bugs, but they didn¡¯t realize that he dared to eat them.

    "Haha, our family all has a hobby of eating bugs. Last time we caught more than 20 bugs from the neem tree and brought them home and fried them. My wife and I just took a few bites and our son devoured the plate full of bugs.  ¡±

    Hearing what this man said was so exciting, Liu Junhao was not only surprised but also impressed.  It was understandable to say that he was eating bee pupae, but looking at the white bugs, he really didn't have the guts to swallow them.

    Under the command of the opponent, everyone used grass stems to throw, smoked, and finally used wind oil essence.  After working for a long time, I finally drove out those white and tender bugs.

    "Actually, it's nothing. These are high in protein and are delicious when fried. Why don't I give you some after they're fried at noon?"

    "Forget it, I can't afford it," Liu Junhao waved his hands repeatedly. Just looking at the food made him feel too cautious to eat.
