Chapter 499 Smoked Flies

"No, no, Xiaowazi's father asked us to cut it, saying it was to smoke flies?" Maozi grinned in pain, and hurriedly explained.

"Use this to smoke flies, are you lying to me?" It is true that wild celery is poisonous, but I haven't heard of anyone using it to smoke flies.

Liu Junhao has a deep memory of this thing. When he was a child, he didn't like to eat for a while. The adults said that he had "eating gas", which is now anorexia.

At that time, old man Liu did not know where to get a folk prescription: wrap wild celery on the base of the thumb, which is said to be able to cure qi.

So the old man dug up a large group of wild celery from outside, mashed it up, and wrapped it for him before going to bed.Liu Junhao cried and yelled all night, only feeling the burning pain in his palm.When the gauze was removed the next morning, it was found that the wild celery had burned the skin, and even a large piece of meat had been burned off.

Old man Liu was startled, and rushed his grandson to the hospital.After hearing the cause of the injury, the doctor scolded him for nonsense, saying that wild celery is poison and should not be used indiscriminately at all, and finally sent Liu Junhao to the ward for infusion.

Liu Junhao cried and quarreled and refused to let him go, but in the end, old man Liu bought fried buns for a few yuan to coax him to sleep.

"We don't know, my dad asked me to cut it." Xiaowazi and the others went up the mountain purely for fun.When they heard that Liu Junhao was going to dig Goulang's head, they immediately became interested and helped dig.

In half an hour, half a basket was dug for Liu Junhao and the others.

Going down the mountain to go home, Liu Junhao hadn't breathed a sigh of relief yet, someone from the village had already called to send a few catties of rice field eels.

He was in the mood to watch the fun with Xiaowazi and others, so he immediately sent over half a bucket of eels.

In front of Dawazi's house, there are two Chinese wolfberry trees several feet high. In previous years, the Chinese wolfberry trees were half dead, with a few leaves growing sparsely from them.If it weren't for the fear of sawing down and smashing the houses on both sides, the eldest boy would have burned these two trees as firewood.

I don't know what's going on this year, the two trees are dead in spring, they grow extremely lush, and there are surprisingly many goji eggs, which are so heavy that they almost bend the branches.This also attracts many tourists to take pictures under the tree.

Now at this time, the gourd eggs turn red, attracting countless flies and black scarabs to settle on it.At noon, you can hear the buzzing sound from eight feet away. The place under the medlar tree has almost become a garbage dump, and it is so dirty that the big boy sweeps it several times a day to no avail.

With so many flies, the eldest son's family was also affected.There are flies visiting the house all day long. The sticky fly paper I bought can be filled with sticky fly paper in half a day, but there are still flies.

Reluctantly, he came up with the trick of fuming the flies, planning to launch a war of annihilation to completely wipe out these annoying things.

Liu Junhao was still more than ten meters away from the tree, when he heard the buzzing sound, as if there was a meeting of ten thousand people.

He stood under the tree and looked up, only to see that a branch was covered with black beetles, and even the branch was bent.

The tree is too tall, and there is no way to go up to spray medicine. We can only use smoke, but will this work?Liu Junhao was puzzled and asked about the eldest child.

The smoke must be smoked at least a few feet high, and it has dispersed at most.Besides, those flies are not dead objects, they will definitely fly away if they are really smoked.

"Don't worry, it works. There used to be a big toilet in our village. In summer, fly maggots were everywhere in the toilet. It was disgusting. But as long as you get some wild celery leaves and throw them in the toilet pit, soak for a long time, all the fly maggots can be wiped out." Death by poison is better than pesticides." Dawazi has experience in this, he directed a group of brats to prepare wild celery, and then told them to back off.

"Xiaohao, help me add wild celery later, the two of us come in alternate shifts, and one can't stand it alone." Finally, the eldest son made him a mask and put it on.

Liu Junhao soon understood what it meant to be unbearable. He lit the hardwood, and he just added a few handfuls of wild celery to it, and immediately the smoke billowed.Two or three meters away, I still felt a pungent smell rushing into my nostrils. The mask didn't work at all, and it took a few sneezes to get better.

The two hurriedly piled up the wild celery, and when they retreated seven or eight meters away to breathe fresh air, they immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally.

People are like this, not to mention the flies on the tree.Soon there was a buzzing sound, all the flies on the tree were tossed up, and the whole group of flies danced wildly... It seemed like countless bombers were circling overhead, and then fell down with a splash, like a light rain.

"Look at what's going on on the tree?" The hairy boy exclaimed, turning everyone's attention from the ground to the tree.

I saw a few milky-white worms drilled out of a thumb-thick hole halfway up the tree, each as thick as a little finger.These bugs lined up in a long line and climbed towards the treetops in a panic.

"That's the larva of the longhorn beetle," Liu Junhao recognized it.This thing mainly grows inside the trunk. As long as you see dark brown spots or holes with sawdust on the trunk, it is most likely drilled by longhorn beetle larvae.

Don't look at this thing as inconspicuous, but its vitality is so strong that it won't starve to death even if it stays in a dry tree trunk.In rural areas, beetles often emerge from wooden furniture that has been used for more than ten years, which is the reason why beetle larvae suddenly emerge.
I didn't expect this wild celery to be so powerful that it even smoked them out.

They were even more surprised at the back. They thought that there were a dozen or so beetle larvae in the trunk, but who knew that there were more and more white worms in the hole, and finally there were seventy or eighty of them, all white on the trunk. Fleeing around is terrifying.

It's no wonder that these two eucalyptus trees are half-dead. From the looks of it, most likely their trunks have been hollowed out by insects.

People often say "fir tree windows, poplar doors, and medlar trees burn the brazier in winter." Just by looking at so many beetle larvae, you can know that the two yelly tree trees really have no other effect except to light the fire.

But these pests were doomed, and soon fell towards the tree.

After half an hour of continuous smoking, it was not until the hard wood and wild celery were burned that the eldest son got two pots of water to put out the fire.

Good guy, I don't know if I don't smoke, I was shocked when I smoked.

The results were quite fruitful... a large number of insects fell on the ground under the wolfberry tree.There are flies, black scarabs, cicadas, longhorns, caterpillars, etc. In short, all the common pests in rural areas are here.

Xiaowazi and the others happily cleaned with a broom, and within a short while swept the half-snakeskin bag.

"Uncle Xiaohao, I brought these to your house to feed the eels." The boy said and handed over the snakeskin bag.

"You kid wants to poison my rice field eel to death," Liu Junhao patted his head.Wild celery is so toxic that although it is not in direct contact, rice field eels will turn their stomachs if they eat it.He didn't dare to feed it even if it was fine, what if someone had problems eating eels.

"Master Xiao Hao, Master Xiao Hao, look, my dad fried cicadas for me to eat." At some point, that brat from Liu Qiyong's family also ran over, holding a small porcelain bowl in his hand.This little guy likes Wukong very much and often goes to his house to play, so he is very familiar with Liu Junhao.

"Can you give me one?" Liu Junhao teased with a smile.

"Hmm..." The little guy hurriedly covered the bowl with his paws, turned his back and said, "No more, no more!"

"If you don't give it to me, I won't give you candy next time when you come to my house." Liu Junhao threatened.

"Then... I'll eat it for you," the little guy said, handing it over, and then added, "Pretend to take a bite."

"Get out" This guy is more stingy than his old man, who knows who can teach him, Liu Junhao waved him to leave extremely depressed.

"Qilin, there is a hole in the bottom of the bowl." At this moment, the hairy boy came over and pointed at the bottom of his bowl and exclaimed.

The little guy believed it, and quickly turned the bowl over to check, but the fried cicadas in the small bowl were scattered all over the floor, and several greedy roosters rushed up to peck them away.

"Wow" the little guy squatted on the ground and cried loudly, then picked up the bowl and ran home to complain.

"You brat, you know how to mess around." Liu Junhao reprimanded dumbfounded, hugged the little unicorn and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll give you sweets. "

If there is a hole in the bottom of the bowl, I believe that many people have experienced it when they were young, and only innocent children will believe it.But after this time, I believe the little guy will be much smarter in the future.

Liu Junhao bought two handfuls of fruit candies for Little Qilin, and he burst into tears and ran to the children to show off.

The aunt and his wife lived in Liujiagou for one night, and they clamored to go home by car after lunch.Liu Junhao knew that they had to go to work, so he didn't keep them too much. He just went to the garden to pick a few big flower skins, and then got some honey to take with them.In addition, Uncle Zhang Qian likes to drink tea, so Liu Junhao made a catty of Chashuo and asked him to take it home.

This tea tree is everywhere in Liujiagou, and Liu Junhao had no idea of ​​planting it.Last autumn, a tourist who came to buy rice field eels saw that his yard was dry, so he asked for some. After returning, he even greeted him online, saying that he wanted to make more varieties in the coming year, and then he would buy them himself.

Anyway, it didn't take much trouble, Liu Junhao pulled half a catty of seeds on the hillside in Qiuli, and sprinkled them around the courtyard wall and backyard in Chunshang, and threw some leftovers into the stone lock.

Needless to say, those in the stone locks, Liu Junhao only scattered a few feet around, and it turned out to be extremely lush.Basically, one crop can be harvested every ten days, and each time there is a big bamboo basket.In addition to those in the backyard, several stubbles were cut in the past two or three months, and a full twenty or thirty catties were sun-dried.

According to this situation, two stubbles can be harvested before the autumn harvest.

However, Cha Shuo's family didn't keep much. These days, people came to buy them one after another, and Liu Junhao half sold them and half gave them away at a price of three yuan per catty.The main reason is that he doesn't see a little money now, so he treats it as a favor.

As for those who order online, most of them are regular customers. Liu Junhao naturally sells them at a low price, or mixes them up when buying other things.

It is said that Liu Junhao's online shop is already well-known and has received a lot of attention. So far, there has not been a bad review.

This made the couple very proud... Although the Internet is connected to the village now, several online shops have opened one after another.But those regular customers are assured of his things, and they will leave messages online when they want to order souvenirs.
