Chapter 417 Unidentified Creatures in the Tank
Since Zhao Yubao and his family came in advance after hearing the news about the old turtle, they must have visited the reservoir when they came here.
It’s the beginning of summer.
The four mountains are clear and green, and the scenery is beautiful.
In the afternoon sunshine, I stood on the slope and looked into the distance. My eyes were filled with lush green, and all the trees supported a dense canopy.
When the mountain breeze blows, the deep green in the distance and the shallow golden yellow nearby flow together like waves.
The light yellow color is the wheat field outside the village. The waves of wheat are blown by the mountain wind. It is full of pastoral atmosphere, which makes several old people who have been in the city for a long time refreshing and full of joy.
When the interest came, he went to the ground to pick a few tender wheat ears. Chen Ling helped to light a fire and roast two handfuls in the open space for them to taste.
“Tsk, this smell brings me back to my previous feeling.”
Zhao Yubao tasted the roasted wheat grains carefully. While the aroma filled his mouth and nose, he felt a little uneasy. The emotions of speech surged into my heart, and my nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.
Shan Mao's father pointed at him and joked: "Hahaha, you old Zhao, you are still sentimental when you go to the countryside." Let’s go to the lake to see Old Turtle. Maybe we’ll be lucky and meet Prince Turtle on his trip today.”
Don’t look at what Old Man Zhong said about hurrying to the reservoir, but his eyes were looking everywhere on the way. If you stop while walking, you won't be able to walk fast at all.
"Hey, Fugui, there is no water in this wheat field. Why are there frogs?"
"Ah, what is that? It runs so fast. Let me go see the frogs. This thing swooped out of the grass at my feet and disappeared in the blink of an eye. I couldn’t see anything clearly and it scared me..."
"Oh, it's a wild cat. I've heard of it. It's just a wild cat. Can it steal the chickens and ducks in the village?"
Chen Ling told him that the wild cat also stole it.
If the chickens and ducks in the mountains are harmed.
There is a very simple identification method to tell whether the culprit is a mountain raccoon or a weasel.
The mountain raccoon steals the chicken and bites the chicken’s butt.
The weasel stole the chicken and bit the chicken's neck.
The old people were surprised when they heard this.
"Dad, old Uncle Zhong, Fugui has a nest of weasels at home, and he has raised two litters of mountain civets this year. After visiting the reservoir later, go back to the farm and ask Fugui to call them out for you."
“Good guy, Fugui, your family really has everything. Can weasels and mountain civets be raised as well?”
They really haven’t heard Zhao Dahai and Shan Mao say that these are more detailed. thing.
Chen Ling smiled: "It can be raised. A while ago, there was a nest of foxes living outside our orchard, and they often ran home to play with Xiao Jin. However, this spring, the big fox ran back to the mountains again, and only three little foxes were still alive. Come back from time to time..."
Foxes are capable of raising cubs, but at most they only keep the cubs around for half a year.
Then let them fend for themselves.
The female fox will go into heat again in the spring, looking for a mate to breed a new generation of fox cubs.
Everyone was amazed, and the two old men quickly asked Chen Ling if there were any other interesting things at home, and then slowly walked to the reservoir while rubbing the roasted wheat ears and eating them.
On both sides of the dam, there are two rows of tall and sturdy willow trees, with their green branches hanging long into the water.
On the south bank of the dam, on this side of the reservoir, there are dense reeds growing along the water, surrounding the shore in a long circle.
On the north bank of the dam are peanut fields and scattered ponds. Under the afternoon sunshine, there are four or five cattle, large and small, lying in the shade, accompanied by bursts of loud frogs and soft sounds. Chewing slowly, he ate the green grass by the pond.
At this time, in the reservoir, you can only see groups of ducks and some water birds playing in the distance. After summer, the reeds are tall and lush, and there are many aquatic plants, which greatly affects the sight. There are old turtles around, and it's not easy to see them.
However, several old people are not discouraged.
Still happily walking around, enjoying the refreshing breeze by the river and admiring the scenery.
"Cunye, come on, let me show you something good."
At this time, Lao Niwai walked out and saw Wang Cunye playing behind with two dolls, Ruirui and Yaya. , I quickly walked up to pull him excitedly, but after taking two steps and looking forward, I saw a large group of Chen Ling talking not far away, "Hey, the rich and the noble are all here too, this is another guest, right? , that’s just right, come to my house and show it to the guests.”
Chen Ling and the others just saw an eagle landing in the reeds, and were about to go down to the reservoir to look for it when they heard the old man. Niwai said: "What's up, Uncle Niwai, have you dug up any treasures at home?"
This old man is very obsessed with money. Last year, everyone learned that Li Hongqi came to the village to explore around and inquire about the situation. He is the most patient when looking for treasures. In addition, his home is right at the entrance of the village. As long as Li Hongqi and Wang Chunyuan go to the small temple in Donggang at night, the old man will keep an eye on them. Sometimes they can stay until midnight. Very energetic.
"Yes, it's a good treasure. Come and see it at home. If you like it, I'll let you take it away." Lao Niwai laughed.
"Then let's make an agreement. If I like it, I can just take it."
Chen Ling joked as he walked this way after hearing this.
“Take it away, take it away, can your uncle still talk nonsense?”
Chen Ling led a group of people into Lao Niwai’s house. Lao Niwai now lives with his eldest son Chen Jiang.
The yard is quite big.
The layout is no different from other houses in Chen Wangzhuang. There is a small vegetable garden in a remote corner of the wall, and there are many large and small water tanks in the courtyard.
In addition to being used to hold food and daily water, farm water tanks are also used to prevent fires in the home.
There are so many spares and they are not worth much.
Lao Niwai led them to a low, pot-bellied water tank in the small south room and said mysteriously: "It's in this tank. Your Aunt Xiuju and I were having lunch when we discovered that this place has a long side." A good treasure came out."
"This is the vinegar tank at home..."
As soon as he got closer, Chen Ling smelled the strong and pungent smell of vinegar.
The old lady also came over at this time and said: "Yes, it is a vinegar vat. When Fangfang and her husband lived here, they specially brought a small vat of old vinegar. His family knows how to brew it. Vinegar, otherwise why would people here put so much vinegar at home?”
They generally have less vinegar here, but a lot of various sauces and pickles.
The vat of vinegar in Lao Niwai's house was a small vat of vinegar that his daughter Chen Fang and her family brought when they were hiding from family planning here.
Zhao Dahai squatted in front of the vinegar vat and glanced left and right, "It's good to have a son-in-law who can make vinegar. If you are rich, don't look down on the vinegar vat. There is no place to hide treasures. I have also heard that someone from There have been treasures dug out of manure pits.”
This fat man has been to the village many times. He has also built high-voltage lines, replaced transformers and planted telephone poles. He is very familiar with the villagers and can chat with everyone. joke.
"Dahai is right, this baby really grew out of a vinegar vat."
With so many people watching eagerly, Lao Niwai didn't show much concern and immediately opened the vinegar cylinder.
His mother-in-law, Guo Xiuju, quickly took out a bowl from the kitchen. Her hands were also washed cleanly. She reached into the vinegar vat and fished out a strange round cake-shaped thing.
This thing looks like a big piece of fat. When it is fished into the bowl, it still has a soft, greasy, slippery and bouncy feeling. In an instant, the air is filled with a rich and pungent smell. The sour smell of vinegar.
Zhao Dahai and his family had never seen this thing before. They were stunned when they saw it. They covered their noses and took two steps back. They subconsciously thought that this must not be a treasure. They must be jealous.
Chen Ling was also stunned. He had never seen this thing before.
On the other hand, Wang Cunye grinned.
"Eh? Dad, do you know what this is?"
"Hey, why don't you know this? Jealousy, your uncle Niwai was right, this is really good stuff."
< br>Lao Niwai's eyes lit up when he heard the word "Jiangbao": "Okay, Chunye, I thought that you, a savage who spends all day in the mountains and forests, didn't know about Jianbao, so I specifically wanted you to come to my house to see it. Look, you will gain more knowledge.”
Wang Cunye is now very familiar with the older people in the village, and he immediately raised his chin: “Go, go, you are a savage, don’t you look down on others?”
Seeing everyone beside him bursting with joy, Wang Cunye coughed twice, turned to Chen Ling and smiled: "There are people making vinegar in our village and in the town. Some vinegar will grow if left for a long time. In the past, Some people don't understand this, and some just throw it away, while some keep it as a treasure in a vinegar vat. Not to mention, if you keep this thing, the vinegar will taste better
When your eldest brother first became a teacher, there was a chemistry teacher in his school. After asking others, he found out what kind of fungus was growing in the old vinegar. It was harmless and harmless and could be eaten.
I also teach your big brother how to eat.
Later, your elder brother brought it back and tried it. It was similar to the jelly we eat. Soak and wash it in well water, cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl, add some spicy pepper and splash it, it will be sour. Spicy and fragrant, it tastes better than jelly. "
What the father-in-law said was really beyond the expectations of Lao Niwai and his wife. Lao Niwai glared and said: "Okay, let's just forget about it and know that this thing is a jealous treasure. Do you still know how to eat it?" My son-in-law, who makes vinegar at home, has never heard of how to eat this stuff.
I originally wanted to show you something strange, so I took a piece back with me. I usually get jealous at home. For this thing, just soak it in water and keep it. Add water all the time and you will get jealous. It saves you having to go out and fight. Jealous.
But this thing cannot be stained with oil. My son-in-law has said before that this jealous treasure will die as soon as it sees oil. "
The more Zhao Dahai and his family heard, the more curious they became. They looked around at the bowl in front of Guo Xiuju, and poked them with chopsticks a few times.
At this time, they heard At Lao Niwai's last words, Zhao Dahai suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, even sacrifice, Uncle Niwai, what you said is interesting, you made this thing seem alive. "
Wang Cunye saw that the fat man was laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath, so he slapped him: "Hey, Dahai, don't laugh. According to my chemistry teacher, this thing is really alive... ..."
"Yes, it was born from the bacteria in the vinegar vat. It is not wrong to say that it is alive. "Old man Zhong nodded and said.
Then he put his head in front of Chen Ling and Weng's son-in-law, and murmured in a low voice: "I thought it was the legendary Tai Sui. It's a pity that it's something that grows out of jealousy. It's definitely not the case. Otherwise, I would definitely be able to do it. Big news is out.”
Chen Ling burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He has been baptized in the Internet era, so he is instinctively skeptical of weird things. This has nothing to do with his possession of the Sun and Moon Cave.
Even though he believed in immortals and gods, some facts were shocking, such as digging up some Tai Sui somewhere or picking up some mysterious treasure.
The result is processed excrement on the plane. Many people do not recognize these things and regard them as treasures. They soak them in water and drink them all day long, saying that they are good for the body.
It’s really hard to put into words.
