Chapter 31 Eating Raw Crabs and Live Shrimp

Seeing that Liu Junhao agreed, Er Mazi persuaded him to drink enthusiastically. Anyway, he was fine in the afternoon, and it was a big deal to go to sleep at home when he was drunk, so Liu Junhao didn't refuse too much.

While the two were drinking, Dr. Wang opened the door and walked into the farmhouse, calling Er Mazi's wife to eat.

"Whatever you want to eat, just come over to join the table, why bother?" Although Er Mazi is shrewd, he is also a trickster, and he is sincere to others, so he dragged Dr. Wang to the banquet without any excuse.

Dr. Wang is a nice person. I heard that he is an internist from the Municipal People's Hospital. He only knew about Liujiagou after watching the TV report. After he came here once, he fell in love with this place, and even bought a piece of land to grow it.

Unlike other tenants, Dr. Wang comes here almost every week, sometimes with his wife and children.Every time he came to Liu Junhao’s yard, he would buy a few catties of rice field eels and go back to make tooth sacrifices. In his words, the rice field eels are [-]% wild, without any hormones, and taste crispy, ten times better than those bought in supermarkets. The elderly and children of the family They all like to eat.

Speaking of wild eels, although Liu Junhao's eels are said to be kept in the yard, they have never been fed with feed or anything like that. At most, they caught tadpoles and fed them.

These days have gradually passed the spawning period of the frogs, and the tadpoles in the puddle have basically turned into small frogs.Liu Junhao was still worried about how to find food for the rice field eels, but he didn't need to worry about this problem at all. The rice field eels in the pool didn't seem to bother him either, and they still looked happy.Later he discovered the reason, that the number of earthworms in his yard gradually increased, and they were very fat, each one as thick as a little finger.

It is estimated that this should also be the effect of the spring water, and now he is completely relieved and no longer cares about the eels.What surprised him was that the number of loaches in his ditch was also increasing day by day, and they were quite fat, many of them were seven or eight centimeters long.

As the number of loaches increased, the water in the ditch became clearer day by day. Professor Zhao told him that this was due to the loaches. Rice field eels like to live in the middle and upper layers of the water, while loaches like to live in the middle and lower layers of the water. Eat some fish and insect excrement for a living. It is more beneficial to mix loach and rice field eel, which can play a role in cleaning water quality.

This made Liu Junhao couldn't help admiring in his heart that nature is really a wonderful thing, and it can form a balanced ecological cycle unconsciously.

Every time after being busy in the vegetable field for half a day, Dr. Wang would sit in Liu Junhao's yard, watch him play chess with Professor Zhao, and sometimes point out two tricks.

Because he often buys rice field eels, and because they are familiar with each other, Liu Junhao also gives him a special discount. He doesn’t ask him for a fraction of three or five yuan each time.

Dr. Wang didn't feel restrained after being drunk with two glasses of wine, and several people picked up the topic of raising wild boars just now. Dr. Wang was also optimistic about this project, but he also had different opinions, that is, the problem of scale.

In order to form a stable market for raising wild boar, it must form a scale, because when wild boar is supplied to restaurants, it generally needs to maintain a long-term supply. It needs to invest 10,000+ start-up capital at the beginning, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

However, Er Mazi still insisted on his point of view. He believed that the wild boar was a novelty for the city people, and as long as he raised it, he would definitely be able to sell it.But this time, I will keep both ends in check. Anyway, the boat is small and easy to turn around.

While everyone was drinking, they heard thunder rolling over their heads. After a while, the outside of the room became gloomy, and the big raindrops were falling down. In less than half an hour, the ground was already covered with white flowers.

A gust of cold wind came in through the crack of the door, blowing away the heat of the day without a trace, and there was no way to go home under such heavy rain, so the three of them just played cards in the house.

The mother-in-law who was hitting the two pockmarks suddenly shouted: "The head of the house, our rice field eels have gone to the hall, and they have all run along the waterway, come out!"

Er Mazi didn't care about playing cards when he heard that, put on his raincoat and took a piece of gauze to block the opening of the waterway. The mesh of this gauze is very small, and it is just right to block the opening of the waterway at this moment.

Liu Junhao couldn't sit still anymore. He was also worried that his eels would flee the hall, so he pulled a large piece of plastic sheeting from Er Mazi's house, and hurried into the rain wearing it.

The strong wind and heavy rain were falling rapidly, and many tree branches in the village were broken. Some low-lying dirt roads already had knee-deep water. , slipped, fell to the ground, and fell two buttocks of yellow mud.

He rushed home after cursing bad luck, only to see the two water channels in front of the cage door rushing out, and Professor Zhao was wearing a raincoat and digging a ditch outside the yard to make the water flow faster .

"Your boy is finally back, hurry up and take over, I'm afraid the water will flood the door in a while." Professor Zhao saw him coming back, and handed the shovel into his hand.

"Didn't the eel run away?" He cared more about the eel than the flooded yard.

"You don't know how to look at yourself. It's really weird. At first, old man, I used that broken basket to block the waterway in a panic, but the eels didn't run away at all. Instead, they stretched out their heads and gathered under the tree. You think it's weird." Not to blame?"

Liu Junhao stood inside the cage door while sheltering from the rain, while looking into the yard, he saw that the water had risen up to his ankles and was almost at the door of the main room.As Professor Zhao said, those eels all stuck their heads above the water, and many even climbed up to the shore, but none of them escaped.

Seeing that the rain didn't seem to stop at all, Liu Junhao knew that it wouldn't be a problem if it went on like this. The water would probably pour into the house sooner or later. It was no longer enough to rely on two water channel holes to drain water. He ran into the house and turned out a net, and then Spread the net over the cage door.

This kind of net is probably only seen in rural areas. It is also a kind of fishing net. Almost everyone in Liujiagou has the skill of weaving nets, and so does Liu Junhao. weave.

After fixing the nets, he vigorously lifted the bluestone slab under the cage door and moved it outwards. The young man had a sense of momentum, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he had already moved the bluestone slab away. Suddenly, rushing water rushed out of the cage door. Stroll outside to the yard.

"Hey, Shangshui fish" didn't expect that the eel in his house didn't run away, but attracted other fish in instead.I saw a crucian carp that was as long as a chopstick rushing upward along the water, and rushed to the road without paying attention, jumping in the muddy water.

When Professor Zhao saw it, he ran over in the rain and picked up the crucian carp.

"Uncle Zhao, you'd better go inside and rest, the rain is very humid, don't catch a cold." Liu Junhao hurriedly dissuaded him.

"It's okay, it's okay, the old man is not as expensive as you think." Professor Zhao waved his hand indifferently.A few days ago, he specially asked Dr. Wang, who came here to play, to check his body. Dr. Wang also praised his body in great shape, and there was nothing wrong with him.

After a while, several crucian carp came up again, Professor Zhao quickly ran over and caught them all, and even brought some crabs up the water and half a bowl of white-skinned river prawns, which only had one finger It is so big, the shell of the shrimp is crystal clear, Liu Junhao looked at it and he squeezed one casually, removed the head of the shrimp, peeled the body of the shrimp, and then put it in his mouth to chew, the white and tender shrimp meat tasted a little fishy taste, but the meat is tender, smooth and delicious when chewed in the mouth.

"You're an animal, why are you eating it raw? If you want to eat it, I'll fry it at night." Professor Zhao was dumbfounded.

"You don't understand." Liu Junhao smacked his lips, took out another river prawn and cooked it in the same way, and chewed it in his mouth, "'Eat raw crabs and live shrimps', this river prawn tastes better when eaten raw than fried. If you don't believe me, try it"

"Really?!" Professor Zhao also ate a lot of things that he had never heard of before, and he already had a certain degree of immunity. Seeing that Liu Junhao ate so deliciously, he couldn't help peeling one and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm!" He felt like vomiting just after taking a bite, but then an indescribable fragrance spread in his mouth, he swallowed the river prawn without chewing twice, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's a bit fishy, ​​but it's breathable and has a little fragrance. It tastes like a mouthful."
