    Chapter 442: Sparrow Catching Experience Exchange Meeting

    "My husband didn't seem to see Qingzhuang asking for food today?" When it was getting dark, Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned her Qingzhuang.

    No, I only thought of those big guys after listening to my daughter-in-law Liu Junhao.  Normally when I opened the door in the morning, they would start croaking and crowd around me asking for food. It had been snowing heavily these past two days, so it was rare to see Qingzhuang in the yard, and not even a shadow was seen during the day today.

    Thinking of this, Liu Junhao quickly picked up a shovel and shoveled the snow next to the chicken coop.  I just cleared the snow on the west side of the yard, but I didn't pay attention to the side of the chicken coop for the moment.

    When I got to the chicken coop, I found that all the Qingzhuangs were huddled inside to keep each other warm, and there seemed to be no problem.  It's just that it's cold outside, and they have no idea of ??coming out.

    "Honey, why don't you go to the backyard to dig some fish to feed Qingzhuang?" Zhang Qian said worriedly.  These Qingzhuangs haven't eaten anything for a day, so don't be hungry.

    "Okay" Liu Junhao nodded and turned to the backyard.

    He is also afraid that Qingzhuang will starve to death, but he doesn¡¯t know how to dig through the ice to catch fish, so it would be easier to just get some from the stone locks. Anyway, there are so many fish there that he can¡¯t eat them all.

    The ice outside is more than one meter thick, and there is only a thin layer in the stone lock. Especially the pond where the spring is located has only a thin layer, and the temperature near the spring still maintains a temperature of about ten degrees.  The dark fish bodies were all piled up nearby, making it too easy to catch fish.

    As soon as Liu Junhao entered the stone lock, several swiftlets hovering in the air immediately flew over.  As soon as it froze outside, they were moved into stone locks by their owners, so they were not affected by the cold weather.  However, after staying in it for a long time, the fur became smoother and smoother.

    He just used a shovel to shovel around the spring for a few minutes and got sixty or seventy crucian carp shells, each of which weighed half a catty.  There are forty or fifty Qingzhuang water ducks raised in the courtyard, which should be enough for them to eat.

    The temperature difference was so great that these crucian carp shells were still alive and kicking in the stone locks. They were completely frozen within five minutes of being taken outside.

    Of course, in order not to arouse his wife¡¯s suspicion, Liu Junhao used a shovel to break up a large piece of ice in the ditch, and then returned to the front yard with the bucket.

    They just threw the crucian carp shells on the snow and blew a whistle. Qingzhuang began to rush out and crowded around the ground to grab them.

    In less than two minutes, all the crucian carp shells were eaten.  At the end, there were still many people screaming around Liu Junhao with their heads stretched out.  From the looks of it, it was obvious that he hadn't grabbed it just now.

    It shouldn¡¯t be, I have the impression that I just made excess food.

    Liu Junhao was wondering, but Zhang Qian shouted in surprise, "Husband, please check whether the Qingzhuang outside is also hiding in the chicken coop. Why are there so many"

    Liu Junhao did a simple count, but no, not mentioning the water ducks, there were more than sixty in the Qingzhuang in this courtyard alone. They must have sneaked in from outside in the cold weather.

    Everyone who came was a visitor, so he had no choice but to go back into the stone lock and catch hundreds of crucian carp shells, finally shutting up these guys.

    After feeding Qingzhuang in the courtyard, Liu Junhao was worried about the things in the woods again. He hurriedly said hello to his wife and led Xiaopi into the woods to watch.

    It is said that as the population of Qingzhuang increases, these guys become more and more domineering, completely treating the entire forest as their own territory.  Strangers are not allowed to enter the forest. As long as someone approaches, they will immediately start croaking at the top of their lungs.  If the visitor continues to move forward, they will rush up and peck at them.

    But they were very relieved about Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian. They had never been bitten when they entered the woods.

    Just so as not to disturb their lives, the two rarely go in.

    Although the wormwood in the woods was pulled once by Liu Junhao, there was enough fertilizer in the woods, so it didn't take long for the newly grown wormwood to be as deep as half a person.  Now large swaths of wormwood are weighed down by snow, and their roots form snow caves, providing Qingzhuang with a place to hide.

    Liu Junhao walked all the way through the heavy snow, and from time to time he could see Qingzhuang's tail half exposed.  These guys were probably completely frozen, and they didn't move when they heard footsteps approaching.

    Seeing how these waterbirds were shivering with cold while huddled in the grass nest, Liu Junhao grabbed a few and found that many Qingzhuang's legs had been frozen to death.  The Qingzhuang in my own yard is more resistant, at least there is no frostbite.

    He touched the Qingzhuang crop and found that it was all empty. It was obvious that he had not eaten food for several days.  If this continues, it is estimated that even if the green village in the woods can withstand the severe cold, at least a large number of people will starve to death.

    Liu Junhao gritted his teeth and simply caught these guys and put them in stone locks.  In the past, I only knew that the number of waterfowl in the woods was increasing, but there was no way to count the specific number. This time, it was easier for Liu Junhao to count.  With Xiaopi's help, he came toI walked back and forth in the woods more than a dozen times, catching all the waterfowl hiding in the grass nests.

    Statistics show that there are more than 80 water birds in Qingzhuang, and more than 40 water ducks. In addition, there are also some miscellaneous water birds such as egrets and cormorants.

    Those waterfowl were a little confused when they were put into the stone lock, but they soon woke up.  One by one, they flapped their wings and screamed happily around the pond, and a swarm of bees swarmed to the edge of the pond.  There are countless kinds of fish in the pool, so crowded that they can be caught with almost no effort.

    ¡°These guys are probably very hungry, they look very crazy in the water, they are no different from bandits.  In less than ten minutes, there were fewer fish around the spring, which made Liu Junhao feel extremely painful.  They are not like themselves, who only catch those worthless fish, but catch eels and loaches together.

    Seeing a few well-fed guys trying to fly into the seedling pond, Liu Junhao rushed over and drove them away.  At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart. Fortunately, the cadavers and salmon fry in the stone locks had already hibernated. Otherwise, if they were eating like this, the salmon fry and cadavers would not be able to escape.

    When the waterfowl had almost eaten, Liu Junhao caught them out of the stone lock again, leaving only those with frostbite to recuperate inside.

    With so much food in the stone lock, many waterbirds didn't want to leave at all. When Liu Junhao approached, they immediately fluttered their wings and fled away.  But they didn't know that the Shisuo space was controlled by Liu Junhao, and they were caught out of the Shisuo without much effort.

    After dealing with the matter in Qingzhuang, Liu Junhao thought about the otter again. When he returned to the yard, he ran to the entrance of the cave and called twice. Baoyu's shiny head immediately emerged from the hole, with half a crucian carp in his mouth.

    "These guys should have stored food in the cave early. Seeing that they didn't have to worry about it, Liu Junhao finally calmed down and started preparing dinner.

    Having eaten fried sparrows at noon made me thirsty all afternoon, so Liu Junhao planned to make something light in the evening.  He went to his backyard and pulled two handfuls of rape seedlings, intending to stir-fry them.

    The rapeseed has just grown about ten centimeters high. It is at the right time when it is fresh and tender. The leaves are crisp and juicy, and just looking at them is very appetizing.

    She had just washed the vegetables and hadn¡¯t started chopping yet, but Zhang Qian felt sorry for her husband who had been busy all afternoon, so she hurriedly pulled him to the living room and got into the kitchen to work herself.

    After being stir-fried, it tasted crunchy and crispy, and the couple ate it with great interest. Even Wukong, who has always been a picky eater, squeaked and raised his bowl to ask his master to add rice to him.

    Liu Junhao has no intention of messing with the snow sculptures, but the tourists stranded in Liujiagou are different. Since they can¡¯t go back to the city for the time being, they simply have fun in Liujiagou.  A few people had nothing to do and discussed it, and actually spent four days making seven or eight unique snow sculptures by the weir pond.

    My life these days is very simple. I get up and shovel snow in the yard every day, and then I watch the brazier to warm up with my wife.  They got up at noon to cook and eat, and the two continued to hide in the house in the afternoon.

    If Zhang Qian hadn¡¯t happened to read those posts while surfing the Internet, the two of them wouldn¡¯t have known there was such a big commotion in the village.

    Looking at the two-meter-high snow sculpture, Liu Junhao could only silently whisper in his heart that these people are so patient.  It's understandable to build a snowman or something like that, but it would take a lot of effort to carve something like this, which would be really boring.

    Zhang Qian admired these snow sculptures very much and insisted that her husband go over and take some photos as souvenirs.  Liu Junhao didn't want to go out, but after being urged by his wife for a long time, he could only put on thick clothes, pick up his camera and go out.

    Before I reached the edge of the weir pond, I heard a voice suddenly shouting from behind, "Liu Junhao, don't go forward."

    He was startled and quickly turned to look to the side and saw several tourists hiding behind a pile of wheat straw.

    "What's wrong?" Liu Junhao walked over and asked.

    "We are catching sparrows here," a tourist pointed to the bamboo sieve a few meters away and replied in a low voice, "I just pulled it twice and the sparrows stopped flying in."

    "Haha, this method works once or twice, but it won't work if it is caught more times. You should change the place." Liu Junhao suggested.  Since Mr. Lu Xun wrote this method in his article, everyone has become familiar with using bamboo sieves to catch birds.

    ¡°We used to soak grains in spirits to make the sparrows drunk, but it¡¯s better than this.¡± Doctor Wang next to him also interjected.

    "Well, it's true that you can catch sparrows when you're drunk," Liu Junhao nodded in response, "But the alcohol we drink now is generally low-alcohol, and it's not good for drunken birds."

    Using food to drunken birds is also a common method when they were young. First, they need to prepare some drunken food.

    The preparation of drunken grain is very simple. Just soak wheat in spirits for a few days, and then take it out to dry. This is drunken grain. It is very good to use it to anesthetize the birds looking for food when it snows.

    This method is more direct than using a bamboo sieve to set up a mechanism. Just sprinkle the drunken food on the ground, and people only need to hide far away.Hope.

    Sparrows have been hungry for several days and are already hungry. When they see food on the ground, they will immediately swarm down to grab the food. Soon they become staggering, staggering around, and become drunk one after another.  At this time, just go over and clean the battlefield. When those little guys see people coming, they can't fly away even if they want to.

    Not only can sparrows be caught using this method, but sometimes pheasants, turtle doves and other birds can also be caught.

    "It's okay, I think this method will work," although Liu Junhao said it truthfully, the tourist still didn't believe it.  As a result, he stood behind the wheat straw pile and waited for half an hour, but no more sparrows took the bait.
