Chapter 21 Catching frogs

He was exhausted just now, but he felt energetic after eating. After watching Bald Qiang with Xiao Duoduo for a while, Wu Fei felt bored. He didn't know that children watch Bald Qiang, Pleasant Goat, and TV every day.

I have played it several times and still enjoy watching it.

It was getting dark outside, and they said the moon and stars were sparse. There was no moon in the sky that had just rained, but the sky was filled with stars.

The stars in the sky are twinkling, like countless eyes, blinking in the deep black night sky.

The calls of frogs kept coming and going, and occasionally I could hear the calls of unknown birds, which seemed even more peaceful in the silent night sky.

There was a flashlight shining in front of the house, and I was walking along the road in the direction of Wu Fei's house.

"Zhang Yibin, are you going to catch frogs?" But it was someone from the same village who came to ask his brother-in-law to catch frogs.

"Ermeng, Yibin is out. Are there many frogs tonight?" Hearing the shouting outside, my father came back.

Ermeng is the second son of Uncle Ding Yun in the village. He is the same generation as Wu Fei, but is more than ten years older than Wu Fei. He is one of the few young people in the village who has not gone out to work. He usually does a small business, buying mountain products and selling them to the county.

Go inside.

"Dad, let me go with them. I haven't caught a frog in many years."

Frogs are also called frogs. I heard that frogs now belong to the third-level protected animals. Some special species such as tiger-striped frogs belong to the second-level national protected animals and are protected animals that are prohibited from hunting.

But in Wu Fei's mountains, when summer comes, everyone catches frogs and eats them as a dish. It is a particularly delicious dish. Sometimes they catch too many and sell them in the market. Usually there is no one around.

No matter what, unless you are unlucky and encounter someone from the Forestry Police Bureau coming down to check.

Frogs usually stay in water or grass, but they will go to dry land at night. Especially at night after rain, there are many of them.

"Brother Ermeng, wait for me, I'll go with you." Wu Fei put on his wellies and shouted when he saw them walking away.

"Wu Fei, you are at home. I heard that you are back and you haven't come out to play for so long. I thought you went out again."

"I just came back and I'm too lazy to go out. Did you catch many?"

"We just came out and we only caught a few. But today's frogs are all very big."

Just as he was talking, he saw a big frog lying on the grass not far ahead, lying in the grass. You wouldn't be able to spot it if you didn't look carefully.

Wu Fei quickly calmed down, shined the frog's eyes with the miner's lamp on his head, and caught the frog right in his hand.

Catching a frog is also called a frog. If you shine a flashlight into its eyes at night, it will stop moving and you can catch it.

Hold it in your hand and weigh it, you will see that there are at least two or two more. Wild frogs are not the same species as the raised bullfrogs.

Bullfrogs are native to North America and were introduced to my country from Cuba in 1959. They have been widely promoted and cultured in my country since the 1990s. Large ones can grow more than two kilograms. In recent years, bullfrogs have become one of the most important aquatic products in my country's aquaculture. one.

And frogs that can grow to more than two liang are considered relatively large.

I caught a big one just a few steps outside. It seemed like there were a lot of frogs tonight.

Sure enough, before walking too far, Wu Fei found two more. However, he only caught one. The other one was alarmed by Wu Fei and jumped into the field and disappeared.

After catching two Wu Fei in a row, he no longer bothered to chat with anyone. He lowered his head and carefully observed the grass on the roadside. Among the frogs in the bright spots on the road, one by one, nine out of ten had entered Wu Fei.

The snakeskin bag in Fei's hand.

However, the frogs in the grass always escaped Wu Fei's vicious hands. Every time Wu Fei walked nearby, the frogs that were chirping loudly just now always quieted down immediately. Several times when Wu Fei searched carefully, he was always amazed by them.

He was deceived by his disguise, and several of them escaped.

Seeing the little one, Wu Fei didn't let it go. But he accidentally caught it and was thrown into the small pond in the space by Wu Fei.

The two of them were separated by several field ridges, both quietly catching frogs.

The night in the countryside is very quiet, very ordinary, and very special. It is always so intoxicating. The dark sky is full of shining stars, which looks particularly dazzling.

The cool breeze blows slowly, which is particularly fresh and cool. The frog hiding in the grass is chirping "croak, croak, croak", reminding Wu Fei that "the frog is here."

The cicada on the tree trunk did not admit defeat and kept chirping "Zhi Zhi Zhi";

I don’t know when fireflies also flew out, flashing in the night, which was particularly beautiful.

When was the last time you saw fireflies?

There are no fireflies at night in the deep city, only neon lights that stay on all night long.

Shencheng is also lively at night, with traffic and people coming and going all the time.

I still remember when I was young, when summer came, a few friends would take glass bottles and put fireflies in the bottles. They would flash and flash, which was very fun.

Now everyone has grown up, and most people can’t stay at home for long all year round. But today’s children watch the TV all day long, and some of them even go up the mountains to catch birds and fish in the water.

.

Before I knew it, the night was already deep. The lights in the village in the distance were almost extinguished. I weighed the snakeskin bag in my hand and found that I had caught a lot. At least four or five kilograms, and they were all very big.

And there are quite a few thrown into space.

"Brother Ermeng, how many have you caught?" He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. Wu Fei straightened up and kept his head down for several hours, feeling that his neck was no longer his. Looking at the harvest in one night,

Wu Fei didn't intend to catch him again.

"It's quite a lot, Wu Fei, do you still want to arrest him? Do you want to move to another place?" Er Meng, who was not far away, also stopped.

Wu Fei walked in and saw that there were many more fish than he had caught. Large and small, they all weighed almost ten kilograms.

"Brother Ermeng, you caught so many."

"It just rained today, so there's a lot of it. We're going to the market tomorrow, so we can sell it. The price is pretty good now. We can sell it for thirty or forty yuan a pound."

I thought I was going to my uncle's house tomorrow and I didn't have anything to bring, so why not bring some frogs with me?

"Then just sell it to me. I'm going to my uncle's house tomorrow and I don't know what to bring. My grandma's steamed frog is the most delicious. I haven't eaten her cooking for a long time." Wu Fei thought of this.

Said to Ermeng.

"Whatever you want to buy, just take it. Anyway, it's something I picked up in the field." Ermeng said when he heard Wu Fei wanted to buy it.

"How can you do that? You have to spend money to collect them." Wu Fei said.

Sometimes someone in the village catches loaches, eels, frogs, etc., and if they don’t want to go to the market to sell them, they usually sell them to Ermeng. When they collect more, they send them to a restaurant in the county or go directly to the market.

Sell ​​it on the market. I heard you can make a lot of money in a year.

"Then you pick some big ones. I'll sell the smaller ones in a few days. The smaller ones don't have much meat, so it's better to eat the larger ones yourself." Hearing what Wu Fei said, Ermeng stopped refusing.

"Give me both big and small, the small steamed rice noodles are also delicious." Wu Fei said. In fact, Wu Fei planned to raise the small ones in the space, so that when they grow up, they can be caught and eaten directly.

The two of them were polite for a long time, and finally paid 200 yuan for the frog in the snakeskin bag. As soon as the two separated, Wu Fei threw the small ones in the bag into the space, leaving the big one for two people.
