Chapter 413 Hypocrisy! Monthly Pass)
Gaga, a group of big white geese raised by Lao Liu's family flapped their wings and stretched their long necks to twist people.
I guess I saw the goose egg in the hood and mistakenly thought it was a goose egg.
The big geese in the countryside are amazing and are also one of the three tyrants in the village. There is a saying that "a good geese are better than a dog" and can guard the house.
Especially when the mouth is opened, it will be a big purple bump when it bites the body.
The old fat boy was so scared that he hid behind his grandfather and held up his hood with both hands.
Secretary Liu took out the majesty of the village party secretary, and slapped the sole of the shoe on his hand and slapped the big goose's head. He then kicked it with his feet and kicked the big goose away.
I saw Liu Qingshan’s sudden joy: You just hit your grandson, but it wasn’t so happy.
Speaking of which, there is another question: What is the ancestor of the family goose? Are they swans or geese?
The result may have been beyond many people's expectations, and it turned out to be wild geese.
When the Secretary Liu put on his shoes, Liu Qingshan said happily: "Old Secretary Liu, congratulations on your successor."
Old Secretary Liu yelled twice, not knowing whether Liu Qingshan really praised his grandson or was deliberately speaking slander.
Liu Qingshan touched the old fat boy's head: "The little guy is so big, he knows that he will think about the adults. He will definitely have a future when he grows up."
"You really don't know. Raising geese is a good way to go and can become a new breed in our rare bird farm."
After hearing what Liu Qingshan said, Secretary Liu couldn't help but smile: "That's what, these guys were hit by chance."
In front of outsiders, the grandson brought glory to him, and Secretary Liu also felt that there was glory on his face.
The old fat boy was also happy now: "Master, there are more than a dozen big eggs in the nest we saw. We don't know if we can use them, so we didn't dare to pick them up."
It seems that these kids still remember the words of their elders, otherwise they would find a place without anyone and roast the geese and eat them.
Let alone them, even Liu Qingshan, who was originally a child, had a lot of things like picking up eggs and sucking bird cubs when he was a child.
The main thing is that there is really nothing to eat,
The offspring of wild geese breeding can usually produce ten to fifteen eggs. Most of them are wild geese, which look similar to the big geese, but the feathers are different in color.
Most of the big geese have snow-white feathers, while the wild geese have gray-brown feathers.
Among the big geese, there is also an alien species called goose, with feathers similar to those of goose.
How did this type of geese come from? Most of them are domestic geese wandering around the dough, turning back the wild geese, and then breeding offspring is geese.
Liu Qingshan looked at the big eggs in the old fat boy's hat, and then touched his little head:
"Your idea is good, leaving half of the eggs for the wild goose, but this method is not advisable. You have done something wrong with kindness."
The old fat boy raised his face and was a little confused.
Liu Qingshan explained to him: "Migratory birds fly to us in spring to reproduce offspring. This is their mission and must be completed."
"If you pick up half of the geese eggs, the geese will hatch the remaining eggs, so that their offspring will be reduced."
"If you pick it up all at once, the female geese will lay eggs again to complete this season's breeding."
"Of course, this month is OK now. If it is a later day, it will not work. After the breeding season, the young birds will not fly away before they grow until autumn."
These kids nodded vigorously to show that they understood. The old fat boy looked at Liu Qingshan with admiration: "Brother, you know so much!"
The old branch secretary also interrupted happily: "Brother Qingshan, our village is about breeding and greenhouse detention, all your ideas for you, Brother Qingshan."
After saying that, he said to Liu Qingshan: "Qingshan, do you think this will work? I asked the villagers to get a few more nests of geese eggs and put them on their own kang to hatch them together. We will also breed geese."
Liu Qingshan also nodded. He had seen people raising geese in later generations. He raised thousands of them and ran away. The scene was very spectacular.
Moreover, these geese are very easy to raise and do not need too much feed. In winter, they need to be fed.
"Then hurry up and go to Yandang Lake to pick up wild goose eggs this afternoon." Old Secretary Liu was really straightforward in doing things, mainly because he knew that what Liu Qingshan just said made sense.
If you want to pick up eggs, don’t wait until the hatching season is over, which will really cause trouble for the geese.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the cubs are not plump and cannot fly away. Do you think you are in a hurry?
The little kids immediately went to call for people, and as for the incubation issue, there was no need to worry at all.
At this time, in the countryside, it was when the old hens were lying in their nests. Even if they didn’t need the old hens, the old ladies from all families had the ability to touch eggs and could hatch eggs on their own kangs.
"Liu, we want to go and have a look, too."
Leo is a guy who likes to join in the fun. When he heard that there was such a fun thing, he couldn't help it.
Liu Qingshan was also a little reminiscent of his past. When he was in elementary school and junior high school, he was also a master of bird-feeling eggs.
Usually after finding a nest of bird eggs, you will pick up one, cover the upper part of the egg with your hands, and then shine in front of the sun.
If there are blood or black shadows inside, it means that there are already young birds in the eggs that are about to grow. At this time, the eggs cannot be roasted and eaten. Put them back in the nest and continue to search for the next nest.
In that era, there were many bird nests. On the piles of the cut willow bushes, basically a bird nest could be pulled out from the middle of each willow bushes.
So he happily agreed that since it was called Yandang Lake there, it should be relatively easy to get one hundred and two hundred wild goose eggs.
Soon, more than a dozen villagers were gathered and set off with a few earth baskets.
Secretary Liu was very thoughtful and asked someone to bring a few small quilts to the eggs he picked up to avoid catching a cold and letting the young birds inside die.
Yandang Lake is about three or four miles away from Shoulin Village. At first it was an endless swamp, with dense reeds and other weeds growing inside.
From a distance, I saw a big lake in the middle, and that was Yandang Lake.
As soon as he walked to the edge of the swamp, Leo screamed strangely: "Wild duck, there are wild ducks here!"
Liu Qingshan glanced at it, then curled his lips: "What are your eyes? You can't tell the difference between ducks and wild ducks."
Not far from the village, ducks raised by every household in the village will run here every day to find food in the swamp.
Eat some small fish, shrimps, snails, etc., and the duck eggs laid out are all red in the egg yolks.
Secretary Liu was also happy: "These are ducks from our village. They grow here every day and never go home until night."
As he was talking, two ducks left the army in a desperate manner and walked back towards the village.
"Uh, this must be the one who went home to lay eggs, hahaha." Liu Qingshan also looked interesting.
As a result, when everyone passed by this place, they found a green duck egg next to the puddle.
He was picked up by Secretary Liu and scolded: "It must be someone's duck who is playing stupid here, but he couldn't hold it in, so he lays the egg outside."
After walking a few miles forward, Secretary Liu arranged for the matter and asked everyone to change into high-waisted rain boots, because there was no path ahead.
The reeds in the swamp are already knee-high, and they can barely pass through this season.
If the reeds grow to one person tall, it will be difficult to get in.
"I can still break the tender reed buds now. When I go back, I will give you some tastes."
Liu Qingshan pulled out a reed from the ground, peeled it twice, revealing the tender asparagus inside, and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Can this be eaten? Victor and the others were a little stunned.
So he also peeled one and tasted it, well, it seemed pretty good, full of fragrance.
"God can't starve to death. There are still many foods that can be eaten, which are selfless gifts from nature. Therefore, we must know how to be grateful and not ask for it in vain."
Liu Qingshan looked at Yandang Lake in the distance and felt a sense of emotion in his mouth.
He remembered that after more than ten years, the land was gradually reclaimed into fields, and then the lake slowly dried up and disappeared.
When Victor heard this, he immediately began to reveal his true feelings: "Liu, then is it considered a request for nature when you go to pick up wild goose eggs?"
It made the Secretary Liu and the others stunned. They didn't know that Victor was joking with Liu Qingshan, and they were still thinking:
This foreigner, who doesn’t open the pot, which pot should be picked up?
Liu Qingshan said seriously: "Victor, we picked up geese eggs to avoid hunting geese in the future. I hope you can understand."
"Liu, I'm joking. In fact, I support your approach. I hope that when we come back, we can eat delicious goose meat."
Victor shrugged, and he began to feel that he might really be able to cooperate in this area in the future.
Their requirements for artificially reproduced and raised wild animals are relatively relaxed.
"Haha, when our geese are successfully breeding, you can eat it." Secretary Liu's grandson also became more proud and he was also full of expectations for the future.
When the sun sets, when the group came back from Yandang Lake, there were two layers of geese eggs in several earthen baskets, with a quantity of about 200.
The maturity period of geese is two to three years, and at that time, they can reproduce in geometric series.
The dinner was eaten at the house of Mr. Liu. The asparagus picked by Liu Qingshan was cut into small pieces, blanched it in water, and stir-fry it on a plate, which tasted refreshing.
"Come on, try this!"
Secretary Liu held a few big milky white eggs and knocked one on the table in front of Victor and the others.
The big head was broken, and the big egg was standing on the table.
Victor and the others were puzzled: "Didn't you agree to hatch eggs? Why did you eat them?"
Ruth stared at the big egg in front of her worriedly: "There won't be any small wild geese that have grown inside, right?"
"You don't eat it, right? I'll eat it." Liu Qingshan picked up one and started peeling the skin.
Leo shook his head repeatedly: "Liu, it turns out that you are a hypocritical person."
It's so hypocritical!
Liu Qingshan took off the broken egg skin, then dug a large piece with chopsticks, revealing the yellow yolk inside: "This is a pickled salted goose egg, it's old fragrance, you don't eat it and you can't help it."
It turned out to be a goose egg. Victor and the others quickly followed Liu Qingshan's appearance and ate it happily.
Leo snatched the egg yolk while muttering: "It's not a swan egg, right? I really saw swans by the lake in the afternoon."
Liu Qingshan expressed his contempt for him: "I think beautifully, are you a toad?"
He followed him to tell the story of toads and swans, making Ruth giggle with joy:
"Leo, you are the toad, I am the beautiful swan."
