Zhou Lang had never caught a bird before, and neither Wu Lang nor Saturday Lang had ever caught birds. They took turns digging out eggs. The best record in the family so far was Zhou Lang.
So the two also proposed to dig out more bird eggs. If the hen in the family hatches chicks, they can also stuff the eggs into the hen to hatch. Maybe they will harvest a flock of birds in 20 or 30 days.
Liu Liulang also said: "I heard from Er Lu that the meat of birds is very tender, and it tastes better than chicken."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Erlu has eaten them, and the birds are so small, so they definitely don't eat as much as chickens. We can raise a little more, and we will eat one a day, one a day."
Zhou Zhoulang gave him a nod and said, "What are you thinking? Try raising birds at home and see if the villagers scold you."
Saturday Lang was not convinced, "What are you scolding me for?"
Zhou Zhou Lang raised his finger, motioning him to stretch his ears to listen.
Everyone became quiet, and there was only the sound of cutting wheat in the field, but after a while, they heard shouts and curses from nowhere in the distance, "Eat, eat, eat, you are ruining just such a little grain." Yes, one day I will strip your nest... "
Zhou Zhoulang looked at them contemptuously and said: "Besides locusts, people in the village hate these birds the most. There are many springs, and sometimes they dig out and eat the seeds just planted; there are also many in summer. The crops that have just sprouted may be called by them; there are many autumns, and the food that is finally recovered has to be robbed by them; It's disgusting, haven't you seen my sister-in-law scolding them in the vegetable garden every now and then?"
Everyone: ... how do they know
Zhou Zhoulang rubbed his stomach, feeling a little regretful, "We like to dig out bird eggs the most. Their nests are not hard to find. There are always about ten or so eggs in a nest, but apart from trees, they sometimes also lay eggs in wheat There are nests in the ground and rice. When everyone cuts them, some adults dislike the trouble and would rather smash them up than leave them. It is because there are more and more birds every year. Look at the pieces. , more than people."
Man Bao was very sorry, and Keke also felt sorry, each one, even if it was just an egg, was a very precious existence in the future.
However, the Encyclopedia has always only collected creatures and eggs, which are not included in the catalog for it. Even if it is included, the Encyclopedia will not give it and the host any points.
But not necessarily in the future.
At this moment, Keke is looking forward to the construction of the forum more than Manbao.
However, the eggs brought back by Zhou Zhoulang in the past were all cooked, and he didn't check for life from those eggs.
"Fourth brother, you know a lot, why don't I know everything?" Wu Wulang is different from Man Bao, birds are everywhere, he doesn't feel any regrets.
On the contrary, what the fourth brother said was something he had never heard before, and he thought it was very powerful.
Zhou Zhou Lang coughed lightly and said, "You'll know when you get older, that's all, let's go to work quickly, brother and the others are probably almost done cutting."
Zhou Dalang and the others went to another field, and they were not with them.
Old Zhou's head had already been cut to the front, and he shook off his sons. When he turned around and saw that they were still muttering, he simply stopped to rest.
Waving to two silly sons, a silly girl, and a bunch of silly grandchildren, old Zhou said, "Come on, let me tell you how the fourth brother knows."
Zhou Wulang ran up first.
Zhou Zhoulang was a little unhappy, and shouted: "Father, there is no such thing as you."
"Hurry up and cut your wheat, and help your wife after you cut it." Then he said to a group of children who gathered together: "Of course your fourth brother knows this not because he is smart, but because he is stupid. He is only five years old. When I was six years old, I was very timid, and I cried when I saw a dog being beaten, and I cried when I saw a cat being kicked."
"Your uncle caught a bunch of birds and came back to roast and eat them. As a result, when this kid saw those little birds, he cried so hard that he went straight from home to the field to complain to us," said old Zhou. This matter made fun of Zhou Zhoulang, and he brought it up again at this time, laughing happily, "Everyone told him these truths later."
Old Zhou curled his lips in disgust and said, "With his brain, it's no wonder he can think of such things."
Who would have thought that such a timid child would be so messed up later
So in the process of Zhou Lang's growth, the old Zhou's people have been talking about this matter very much, and from time to time they will make fun of Zhou Lang, hoping that he can learn from him when he was a child.
Soft children are always more likable than horizontal ones, aren't they
However, since Zhou Zhoulang was thirteen years old, no one mentioned this matter again, even the villagers who were already familiar with it in the village did not mention it anymore, all because Zhou Yin was involved in this matter.
But the arrival of those three people last time tore apart Zhou Yin's identity and put it in front of everyone, especially in front of Man Bao.
This child was the most interested in the family, and would always ask about the uncle she had never met from time to time.
Old Zhou didn't dare to say more, for fear that she would know something, but he didn't dare not to say it, otherwise, with the child's intelligence, she would definitely know something.
But there is also an advantage, he is still willing to talk about things that are far away and will not involve the incident six years ago, and it is also to let Man Bao know more about the "uncle" who has never met Some.
Hearing that those words were not original by the fourth brother, Zhou Wulang was very disappointed for a while.
Man Bao's focus was different, and he said, "Uncle can catch birds? Then how did he catch them?"
Old Zhou scratched his head and said, "I really don't know about this, why don't you ask Zhou Hu?"
In his memory, there were not many people in the village who could catch birds, and the only ones who could catch them consistently were Zhou Huhui, who was used to hunting, except for his younger brother.
Old Zhou said: "Last time you and the young master of the Bai family thought of such a good idea for their family, and even sent a sheep to their family. If you ask, he will definitely tell."
"Okay, I'll ask." Turning around, he was about to run
Old Zhou Tou calmly grabbed her by the collar from behind and said, "What's the rush? I'll ask when I get back at noon. I'll do my work first."
He instructed the little girl, "Together with Santou, lead Sanya and Sitou to harvest the wheat left in the field."
Man Bao stared at the sickle.
Old Zhou was startled, and quickly hid the sickle behind his back and said, "You are still young, so you can't hold a knife. You won't go to the ground until you are eight years old, no, ten years old."
Old Zhou thought about it and thought it was a good idea, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it. Go to the fields at the age of ten, work for four years, get tanned, and raise them for another year before you can say goodbye. , at that time, she will be white and tender again, just in time to get married."
