Chapter 57

Reeds are more popular with livestock than water hyacinths. The plants contain nutrients. Fresh reed stems and leaves, and dried reeds can be fed to cattle and sheep, but dried reeds must be fermented into silage like water hyacinths. Feed can be fed to cattle and sheep.

In addition to this, reeds have many uses. The roots are edible, can be used to stir-fry and stew, make reed root mung bean soup, reed root stewed chicken soup, and reed root stalk rice porridge. The rich crude fiber contained in it can accelerate Intestinal peristalsis, promote gastrointestinal absorption.

Reeds can also be used as medicine, reed roots are used to clear fire, reed flowers are used to detoxify, and reed stems and reed roots are important medicinal materials for treating plague.

Reed stalks also contain a lot of cellulose, which can be used to make paper and mats.

Residents living in the reed marshes also use reeds to make reeds, brooms, mats, make beds, and build houses.

The reeds are full of treasures, and the endless reeds in front of you are very exciting.

The rainfall has dropped these days, and the yachts and steamships can no longer be supported to move on.

Instead of being forced to stop in the middle of the river, it is better to stay here for a while to rest.

Big Black and Little Black howled excitedly, and a few brown birds flew out of the reeds.

It's quite big, probably weighing at least two to three kilograms.

As a forest ranger, Lu Zhifeng recognized it as a large wading bird at a glance. Its scientific name is Dajian, and the local people generally call it Puji.

Because it spreads its wings like a cattail fan, and runs like a half-adult chicken.

Lu Zhifeng said happily: "Puffa chickens can't fly very high, and they can't fly very far. We should be able to catch a few if we go down now."

Shen Baoying smiled and said, "Then our dinner today will be settled."

Lu Zhifeng is eager to try, he knows many ways to trap prey, and thinks that catching Puji is a no-brainer.

Jiang Si used binoculars to observe the surrounding terrain, and found no lurking people or traces of beasts, so he fixed it underwater with an anchor.

Only use anchors to fix the boat, and as the current fluctuates, the boat's position will also move.

Qin Shen and Jiang Linhai jumped out of the boat, nailed a few strong wooden stakes around the reeds, and tied the boat to the bollards.

After making sure that the three boats had stopped, Jiang Si and Lu Zhifeng went down into the reed field with traps, baskets and sickles.

The reed fields are mostly soft mud, and Jiang Si is wearing suspender boots, which is convenient for harvesting reeds with a sickle.

After a while, they cut the half-basket of reeds.

Suddenly, Jiang Linhai shouted in surprise: "Sisi, come and see!"

Jiang Si took a closer look, and saw a pile of dirt lumps at the feet of Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen.

Jiang Si picked it up and sniffed it, "Mushroom?"

Jiang Linhai nodded happily: "Yeah, it's a kind of fungus that grows on the roots of reeds, because it can only be found under the reeds. When we were young, we called this kind of mushrooms reed mushrooms."

Lu Zhifeng came over and said: "Reed mushrooms are more delicious than other mushrooms. I often dug them when I was young. Everyone dug them too hard. When we grow up, they are basically rare. They are the most delicious when used for stewing soup." gone."

Jiang Siyi recalled, "I seem to have eaten it when I was a child."

At that time, she also said why Dad picked up some cow dung and came back.

Jiang Linhai remembered it, and said with a smile: "You did eat it once, and you drank two big bowls of chicken soup at that time." Turning his head and looking at Qin Shen again: "You must have never eaten it, eat more tonight Son!"

Qin Shen nodded, "Okay."

Walking a little further in, cutting off the reeds, Jiang Si picked up a sack of reed mushrooms in a short while.

It doesn't matter if you can't finish it, they can also bake and store the reed mushrooms.

Jiang Linhai also dug some reed roots, put some chili salad, and stir-fried with bacon is also delicious.

When they were young, they all dug for snacks.

He wanted to taste whether it was sweet or not, but was stopped by Jiang Si, "Be careful of parasites."

Jiang Si has popularized a lot of mutated animals and plants in private. When Jiang Linhai was reminded by her, he stopped putting it in his mouth and said with a smile: "Then go back and wash and eat."

There was water under the root system of the reed. Jiang Linhai dug and dug out a large crayfish.

Jiang Linhai exclaimed: "Sisi, look how big this crayfish is!"

"See if there is any mutation, can you eat it?"

What he said, just like Jiang Si must know whether the crayfish has mutated, Lu Zhifeng was a little strange, and felt that Jiang Linhai should just ask casually.

The back of the crayfish is bright red, and the head and large pincers are blue-purple.

Jiang Si had eaten this at the end of the day, so he nodded: "It should be edible."

Jiang Linhai was happy: "Your mother's garlic crayfish and spicy lobster are delicious! When we go back later, I will come back and put down a few ground cages."

"it is good."

There are quite a lot of crayfish here, Jiang Linhai caught half a sack without getting out of the cage.

Also caught a few not-so-small tilapia from the puddle.

Seeing the lively tilapia on the grass, Jiang Si frowned slightly. There are fish and shrimp here, why there are no traces of gars and crocodiles.

Could it be that there are more terrifying things haunted than gar alligators?

Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to tell everyone to go back to the boat first.

Lu Zhifeng, who was going to set a trap to catch Puji, suddenly waved at them and shouted, in an indescribably happy tone: "I found Puji's eggs!"

Everyone walked towards Lu Zhifeng, followed the direction of Lu Zhifeng's finger, and saw a nest of eggs estimated to be the size of ten quails across the water.

Lu Zhifeng handed the pan to Jiang Linhai, "I'll go get the eggs."

Jiang Si stopped and said: "Don't go, maybe there is something strange in the water, tomorrow we will take the inflatable boat down, there should be more than one nest in the reeds opposite, so we will pick them up together."

Lu Zhifeng thought it was feasible, and they had already gained a lot from the trip.

Just haven't caught Puji yet.

Killing a chicken means losing a hen that lays eggs, and everyone is a little bit reluctant.

Jiang Chengwu, who was watching from the boat, watched them get into the reeds for a long time, and shouted worriedly: "Are you back?"

Jiang Si raised the small red flag and waved, "I'll be right back."

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from the place where Lu Zhifeng got into the trap.

Lu Zhifeng rushed over quickly, and after a while, he came back excitedly, holding a two-pound cattail chicken in his hand.

The cattail chicken is dusty, and its feathers are in harmony with the surrounding environment. If it doesn't struggle, it won't be found if it is thrown into the grass.

Jiang Linhai laughed and said, "I have the chicken too, so I can really have a big meal tonight!"

Everyone returned to the boat, Shen Baoying and the others gathered around, seeing so many things, they were happy from ear to ear.

Shen Baoying boiled water to pluck chicken feathers, Jiang Linhai helped, and the rest sat on class A, scrubbed reed mushrooms, and cut reeds for feed.

Suddenly, the reeds swayed with the wind, Qin Shen suddenly stood up, looked towards the dim sky, and seemed to find something.
