Perhaps because it was too old, or perhaps because of other reasons, it was eventually lost in history and became a thousand-year mystery that no one can solve.
At first I was a little resistant to this place, but in the afternoon, as I sat in the bus and looked at the field scenery outside the bus, my mentality changed.
Dao County was formerly called Daozhou. It is a place where ethnic minorities and Han people live together. It is an ancient city with a long history of thousands of years. There are many opportunities to make a fortune. If I miss this, I feel that I may never have the opportunity to understand it in my lifetime.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night that day, while I was sleeping, I suddenly received a phone call.
"Yunfeng, we'll be there soon, please prepare to open the door."
Unexpectedly, my head came back at this time, so I got up and got dressed.
Seeing that Xiaoxuan's feet were exposed, I helped her cover them with the quilt.
After waiting outside the door for a while, I saw a bunch of car lights appearing in the distance.
The car stalled and the group of people got out of the car with dusty faces.
He opened the trunk and said, "Come and move things, be careful not to wake up the villagers."
In the trunk and the back seat of the car, there were four or five large cardboard boxes, all sealed with yellow tape. There was also a square box covered with black cloth. I didn’t know what was inside. Look at the material exposed at the top.
, like an iron cage.
"Be careful, I'll move this," Uncle Xue moved the iron cage out of the car first.
After moving the things into the house, he raised his head and asked, "Has everyone else gone to bed?"
I said yes, how about waking them all up?
"No, let them rest. I'm going to take a rest too. This trip is not close. I'm embarrassed to borrow this thing." As he spoke, he pointed his head at the place covered with black cloth.
Iron cage.
"What is this?"
"This? This is a good thing," Master Xue lifted up the black cloth and showed me.
What was in the cage turned out to be a live duck....
It's very similar to the duck used for roast duck, except that the head is brown.
"Master...Uncle Master, did you buy this?"
"Are we going to have roast duck for lunch tomorrow?"
The head laughed and said: "Yunfeng, I don't dare to eat this. This is the Southern Echo duck I borrowed from some connections. It is specially used for digging water holes. I can't train a few in a year. If we lose it,
, the compensation will be 100,000 yuan."
"What the hell? One hundred thousand dollars?"
"Echo Duck?"
I've heard of camphor tea duck, Peking roast duck, beer duck, crispy duck, but there's no echo of duck...
He pointed his head at the duck in the cage and explained: "This is not the yellow duck used for roast duck. That kind of duck can only hold its breath in the water for three minutes. If it takes too long, it will drown."
"This is a water duck. It can hold its breath underwater for more than 6 hours. We use a rope to lead it. It can find its way underwater by itself, and it can also sense possible dangers by its calls."
"Yunfeng, do you know who invented the Luoyang shovel we use?"
I said I know, it was invented by a man named Li Yaya in Luoyang.
The boss said that Li Yaya was the first to come from the South. It was he who trained this kind of duck, so the nickname was Li Yaya. Later, Li Yaya married a wife and had children, and settled in Luoyang. He combined with the northern soil and invented the duck
Luoyang shovel.
I knelt down and looked at the iron cage. The duck seemed a little acclimatized. It buried its head under its wings and remained motionless.
I put a chopstick into the cage and poked it, and it immediately flapped its wings and screamed "quacking!"
I borrowed the first duck from someone in Nanpai. I heard that the deposit alone was one hundred thousand.
the next morning.
Because I went to bed late last night, I got up relatively late. Uncle Baotou and Uncle Xue were really tired and hadn't gotten up yet.
I yawned, took the toothbrush cup and went out to get water to brush my teeth. As soon as I came out, I suddenly saw the iron cage on the table last night opened.
"Where's the duck? Where's the Echo Duck that borrowed its head?"
"Why is it gone?"
"Wake up Yunfeng, I won't have a big meal this noon, let me show you a unique skill."
Brother Yu came out of the kitchen early in the morning wearing an apron.
I saw that he was holding a big basin in his hand.
