Chapter 282 Making Money
These days, many teal ducks have been sold one after another, and now there are only more than 20 left. Originally, Liu Junhao didn't plan to sell any more, but the villagers wanted to buy them, so naturally they didn't say anything.It's just that there are some things that need to be agreed in advance. The duck in his family is a wild duck, but it can fly.Therefore, after you get it back, you should cut off the wings and spread them out after they are matured, otherwise they will definitely fly back.

At the end, he also made a suggestion, it is best to buy some duck eggs and let the hen hatch them at home, which is the easiest way.

Hearing what he said, Liu Qiyong was also a little undecided, so he didn't ask to buy the old duck again, and he wanted to discuss it with his wife first when he went back.

After sending the person away, Liu Junhao saw that it was almost time and started making lunch.I made a cold Nepeta for my wife, and I made stir-fried river prawns for myself.

When eating at noon, Zhang Qian mentioned the wild strawberries on the mountain, saying that they were already ripe, and asked him to pick some and squeeze the juice when he was free in the afternoon.

Are the strawberries ripe?Counting the seasons, it was about this time, but what Liu Junhao wondered was that his wife was busy with classes these days and had no time to go up the mountain, how could she know this before him.

"When I was at school, I saw some students picking and eating"

No wonder, after listening to her answer, Liu Junhao made a look of sudden realization.

"What's that expression on your face?" Zhang Qian saw the expression on her husband's face, and thought he was laughing secretly at her gluttony, so she stretched out her hands to pinch him.

"How dare I?" Liu Junhao hurriedly promised that he would pick more strawberries and come back in the afternoon.

"By the way, bring your camera with you when you go, take more photos, and post them on the [-]th floor website when you come back." Zhang Qian urged again.

"I know" Liu Junhao nodded in agreement. In fact, even if his wife didn't say anything, he still had this plan. After all, he was still a volunteer propagandist in the village.

After leading Wukong Xiaopi to the place, he realized that he came a little late, and several old people had already picked by the ditch.

These old people were brought over by Mr. Wang last time. After they inspected the environment of Liujiagou, quite a few of them decided to live here for a while to experience the quiet and comfortable rural life.

In the past, the tourists in Liujiagou were almost all young people. After they learned about Liujiagou from the Internet, they came here to relieve the pressure of work and study in their spare time.The old people are different, mainly because they are too lazy to move, and they don't want to travel so far to travel.People of their generation basically have the experience of going to the countryside. In their view, the countryside is nothing more than that.They really didn't want to come if they didn't see the physical changes of old man Wang with their own eyes.It was only after I came here that I realized that what people said was true. This is indeed a good place to retire.Because of this, the dozen or so houses just built in Chunshang were sold out in a short time, and they were all rented.Recently, Liu Guangju has been working on the second phase of the project.While many elderly people settled down here, they also called their other friends and invited them to come and play.

No old man has many friends. Recently, the number of old people visiting Liujiagou has increased significantly.These old people are in groups of three or five, and they either move a small stool and sit by the Dayan Pond to fish; or they bring some small fish to watch birds;

They live a much more comfortable life than young people. They don't have to think about going to work at all, and they can live as long as they want.There are not enough hotels in the village, so the rest of the old people will naturally disperse to the farmhouses in the village.

After greeting each other, Liu Junhao didn't want to compete with others for wild strawberries, so he turned back and walked up the south hillside.

It's farther there, but there are more strawberries.

The energy of the spring water is indeed extraordinary. When he saw the wild chrysanthemums all over the mountains and plains, Liu Junhao couldn't help sighing in his heart.When he was digging wild chrysanthemums before, he was afraid of digging up the field, so he secretly watered the rest with spring water.Now the wild chrysanthemums on the hillside have grown to a height of [-] to [-] centimeters, obviously much more vigorous than other places.Not only them, but other weeds are also growing gratifyingly.

Now the red rabbit was lucky, he untied the rein and let it eat grass, while he and Wukong searched for wild strawberries.The monkey has sharp eyes, and it is much faster to find wild strawberries than the owner. After a while, it found a large piece of wild strawberries in the bushes.But after this guy picked the strawberries, he just stuffed them into his mouth and didn't throw them into the small basket at all.In the end, it was too lazy to pick, and sat directly by the basket, and when the owner was not paying attention, it secretly stretched out its paws to grab a few in the basket to eat.

This guy definitely has a lazy tendon on his body, Liu Junhao flicked it on the head a few times, dumbfounded.Then let the monkey make up for it and help him pick strawberries.

After picking the small bamboo basket half full, Liu Junhao stopped.Although the strawberries are good, they are not stored well. Anyway, they are available on the mountain whenever you want to eat them, so it's better to eat fresh ones.

Remembering what Zhang Qian explained at noon, he took out his camera and took pictures around.The mountains in April are full of scenery, and his camera has never stopped since he turned it on.

Wukong followed his master for a while, feeling bored, he turned and slipped away.

Without this noisy guy, I finally relax for a while.Seeing the red rabbit eating happily in the grass not far away, Liu Junhao sat on the stone, squinting his eyes and wanting to rest for a while.In the end, before falling asleep, Wukong suddenly squeaked and rushed over from a distance.

It was really restless for a moment, he wanted to reprimand the monkey, but he found that this guy was very tense in front of him, as if he was suffering from hysteria.

what 's wrong?When the monkey raised its paw in front of him, Liu Junhao saw that the furry paw was swollen a lot.

Didn't he get stung by a bee again... It's not once or twice that Wukong was stung by a bee in the yard because he stole soil honey to eat.It can be said that this guy is quite afraid of bees now, and usually dare not approach the reed pile at all.What's going on this time, could it be an accidental injury?
The monkey screamed around its owner for four to five minutes, and finally got back to life, and then dragged him towards the accident site.See what that means, it seems that he wants Liu Junhao to help it avenge.

Although he knew that the bee flew away early, but in order to appease Wukong, he still let this guy lead the way.

Not far away, the guy pointed at a big rock and yelled.

That thing was under the rock...Liu Junhao finally understood.It is not bees that sting Wukong emotionally.In the stone, it can only be a scorpion or a centipede.Although these two things are rare in Daqingshan, it doesn't mean they don't exist.Like toads, they are quite disgusted by the villagers.The toad is better, although it is disgusting, but it is basically no threat to people.Scorpions are different from centipedes. If you accidentally get stung by them, you will cry and cry.Especially scorpions, which are hard to guard against, even the villages have quite a few of them.They can be found in the cracks of walls, under pots, in haystacks and even under mats.

When he was mischievous in the past, Liu Junhao often caught scorpions and stuffed them secretly into the pencil cases of his classmates. Because of this, he was reprimanded by the teacher many times.

In the early years, the village was poor, and most houses were built with stone foundations on the lower floors and adobe on the upper floors.This kind of house is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very suitable for the survival of scorpions, so there are many scorpions.

It can be said that in the early years, if anyone in the village was not stung by a scorpion once or twice a year, he would not say that he was from Liujiagou.After a long time, people's bodies have developed anti-toxicity. Later, when they were stung by scorpions, they left a needle-sized red spot that didn't even swell.

Later, someone went to the village to collect scorpions for ten cents each.The villagers came and mobilized the whole village, young and old, looking for scorpions with lanterns one by one.After half a year, the number of scorpions in the village dropped sharply, and the grand occasion of the past was no longer there. In the 90s, people in the village had money and converted their adobe houses into brick houses one after another. The scorpions were completely transferred to the surrounding mountains. Now it is rare to hear of people being stung by scorpions.

Regardless of whether it is a scorpion or a centipede, spring is when the poison is strong. No wonder the monkey jumped up and down after being stung just now.

As soon as two stones were lifted, a translucent pipa-shaped scorpion appeared.This guy probably sensed danger, and the two pliers were waving their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to hit someone at any time.

Liu Junhao was going to find two wooden sticks to clamp the scorpion up, but who knew that Wukong had already grabbed the stone and hit it hard, and the scorpion, which was showing off its might just now, was smashed to pieces.

This guy, why smash the scorpion to death, it can be sold for money.But thinking that the monkey had just been stung, he felt a lot of resentment, so he didn't say anything.

It was fine in the afternoon, Liu Junhao thought about it, and planned to pick up some scorpions on the mountain and sell them back.I heard that scorpions cost a hundred and ten yuan a catty, so if I can pick up half a catty of scorpions for a long time, then the harvest is not small.

But things were not as easy as he had imagined. After paddling among the stone piles for nearly an hour and a half, he caught more than a dozen scorpions and sold them for less than two yuan.No wonder the villagers didn't go up the mountain to catch scorpions and sell them for money. It wasn't worth it at all. Judging by his speed, he could earn five or six yuan by scraping stones on the mountain for half a day.

After taking pictures of the scorpions as souvenirs, Liu Junhao originally planned to throw them away, but thinking about the time he spent on this, he came up with the idea of ​​taking the scorpions back to feed the chickens.Although the hens don't like to eat this stuff, it's still the fruit of labor after all, so it's a pity to throw it away.

It happened that the Chitu over there was also full, so he picked up Wukong and got on the horse, and returned home leisurely.

When he got to the courtyard, he got off his horse and slapped Chitu twice on the buttocks, and that guy obediently got into the stable.A dozen or so scorpions were thrown into the jar by him. In order to prevent them from suffocating due to lack of oxygen, Liu Junhao deliberately nailed a few small holes in the cap of the jar with iron nails.

Take a break and copy all the photos on the camera to the computer.He took a look and felt that the photos were too simple, so he picked some freshly picked strawberries, washed them with spring water several times, and put them on a porcelain plate to take pictures.

It should be said that after working as a volunteer propagandist in the village for more than a year, Liu Junhao's photography skills have improved a lot, and the photos he takes now are more and more beautiful.After the strawberry was washed with spring water, there were a few dots of water on it, making it look red, tender and charming.Not to mention, even looking at this photo, he feels his mouth is full of saliva, and he wants to eat a few strawberries first.
