Lu Ao chatted with Lin Dawu for a while, and then Lin Manzhang and the others arrived.
A few people shouted hot as soon as they came in.
Lin Gongshang took off the straw hat he was wearing and fanned it, saying, "I don't know what kind of weather it is, it's almost October, and it's too hot to sit still."
"You don't like heat right now. When you have a wedding, put a suit on your body. What will you do then?"
Lin Gongshang stopped talking, just giggled beside him.
After a few words, everyone got in the car and went to the crocodile farmers.
The crocodile farmer's home is in another town, a little far away from their town, and they drove for more than an hour.
After finally getting to the place, the farmers stood at the intersection to meet them, and raised their hands from a long distance, "Here we come, come in first and have a cup of tea."
Lin Dawu looked at Lin Manzhang and the others.
Several people shook their heads, "It's more important to find the crocodile first."
The farmer was also anxious, but he still said: "It's not too late, you come all the way here, and you still have to have a cup of tea, so I can tell you about the situation."
Lin Manzhang asked the farmer: "Brother Xian, how big is your running crocodile?"
"Most of them weigh thirty to forty kilograms, and a few weigh more than 50 kilograms." Brother Xian said, "The crocodiles are still small crocodiles, but these crocodiles are more aggressive, and it is not easy to catch them."
While talking, everyone followed Brother Xian to his house for tea.
At the tea table, Brother Xian said: "My crocodiles are all Siamese crocodiles. They were brought in the year before last. They were bred smoothly before. I don't know if they will run away suddenly this time. It was my mistake."
"Where can they escape to?"
"It's hard to say. They can be on the shore or in the water, and they can adapt to the seawater environment. This range is too large. We have searched up and down the river, and there are still twelve caught fish."
"so smart?"
"Yes." Brother Xian sighed, and said, "I'm worried about those crocodiles hiding in a certain corner now. Our crocodiles are more resistant to hunger, and it's okay to eat once a week. If they hide in a corner, Couldn't find it for weeks."
Lu Ao said: "I saw that the crocodile that brother Da Wu took back yesterday was not very big, and it shouldn't be able to attack people after thirty or forty catties?"
Brother Xian shook his head, "It's hard to say, the crocodile's bite force is still very strong, it is said to be four times stronger than the tiger's bite force. With such a strong bite force, we don't worry about leaving the crocodile outside, or something will happen. It's too late to cry."
Lin Dawu chimed in, "Today, everyone will try their best to help find it. If you can find it, don't fight alone. Let's go there together."
Lin Manzhang asked: "Have you reported the crime? Have you reported to the forest police?"
"Reported, they came here yesterday to help you find them, and they will come today, but they don't have any good solutions, it depends on luck." Brother Xian smoked a cigarette with a sad face, "It's mainly the crocodiles living outside. There are too many, if there are only one or two, I will not be afraid to find them slowly, but more than ten will not do.”
Lin Dawu: "Don't worry too much, let's help find them together today, maybe we can find them all at night."
"I hope, I don't dare to have too much hope, anyway, everything will trouble you."
After the group finished drinking tea, Brother Xian told them the precautions, and then went out in groups of two to look for them.
Lu Ao is strong and capable, and his partner is the relatively weak Lin Qiyan.
Each of them took a fork. When they found the crocodile, they couldn't grab it directly. They had to hold down the crocodile's head with the fork first, and then grabbed it.
Once caught, just tape the crocodile's mouth up.
The crocodile's bite force is very strong, but the mouth tension is not strong. Once it is wrapped with tape, it can't open its mouth, and naturally it can't bite.
Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan walked up the tributary of the river. When they walked, they should also pay attention to the situation on the shore. The crocodile may hide in the bushes and attack people.
Lin Qiyan was walking and taking pictures, and he was still a little nervous when facing the camera, "The grass here is too dense, maybe the crocodile is hiding in it."
"Probably not, I didn't hear the animal's voice." Lu Ao looked at the front intently, put the fork in front of him, and said to Lin Qiyan, "You follow me, don't worry too much. Compared with the crocodile, you need to pay more attention It's snakes and insects."
"I see." Lin Qiyan whispered while taking pictures, "Brother Xian is so pitiful. The investment in raising crocodiles is so high, and so many ran away at once. I don't know if I can get back the money this year."
"If you can find them all today." Lu Ao said, "Let's find them first."
Lin Qiyan sighed quietly.
He checked the information before, and the crocodile is a national protected animal. It is not easy to go through the breeding procedures, especially this Siamese crocodile, which is not produced locally and needs to be imported from abroad. One hundred thousand down.
The cost of breeding crocodiles is also very high, not to mention manpower and material resources, crocodiles are very edible and eat 30.00% of their own body weight in food every week, that is to say, a [-]-jin crocodile needs to eat meat every week Ten catties.
Even if they feed the crocodiles with fish, ten catties of fish cost at least tens of dollars, which is not a low cost.
While taking pictures, Lin Qiyan explained in a low voice to the camera.
In order for the audience to understand the cause and effect.
While he was talking, Lu Ao suddenly said, "Back up."
"what?"
"There are crocodiles."
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it? It's all grass!" Lin Qiyan became nervous and spoke quickly, "How far and how many meters do you have to retreat?"
Lu Ao said: "Ten meters away, now, retreat!"
Lin Qiyan was so nervous that his hair was going to explode, he turned around and ran, turning his head to look at Lu Ao while running.
Just when he ran two or three meters, he turned his head and saw a black shadow flashing in front of Lu Ao.
"Ah—" Lin Qiyan screamed.
The crocodile in front of Lu Ao jumped up.
That crocodile is not very big, just over one meter in size.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, who will tell him that the crocodile runs so fast on the shore? !
And why does this crocodile run like a dog? !
Lin Qiyan looked at the crocodile that landed on its front feet, raised its back feet, and ran forward with every leap, and his scalp felt numb.
He always thought that the crocodile crawled like a four-horned lizard, that is, crawled on the ground with four legs twisting and twisting, and the speed would not be very fast.
But the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination. The crocodile actually ran over, faster than a dog.
The problem is, it's not a crazy wild dog, it's a monstrous crocodile!
The bite force of this crocodile is four times stronger than that of a tiger. If it is bitten, a piece of meat will definitely be gone!
Lin Qiyan watched the crocodile attack, he wanted to throw down the camera to save Lu Ao, but he was too scared to move.
He froze in place, his screams almost breaking into waves.
"Ah~~~~"
The scream could be heard miles away.
Lin Manzhang yelled in the distance, "Xiyan, what happened to you?! Hold on, we'll come over right away!"
Lu Ao raised his voice, "No need, I found a crocodile and caught it already!"
When Lin Qiyan heard this, he opened his eyes with lingering fear, and saw Lu Ao kneeling on a crocodile more than ten meters away.
With one hand he held the crocodile's head, and with the other he took tape from his backpack.
Lin Qiyan pressed his chest, walked back slowly, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'll help."
Lu Ao: "Help me take out the tape and tear out a hole."
Lin Qiyan shook his hands, took a long time to take out the tape, and then tore the hole.
Lu Ao reached out to take it, and neatly tied it to the crocodile's mouth.
The crocodile was tied up and struggled desperately.
However, apart from that mouth, it has no other means of attack. Compared with the mouth, its claws are much blunt, and nothing can happen if it scratches people.
Lin Qiyan felt that his heartbeat was not stable, and he patted his chest: "Why is the crocodile running like this? It's still running so fast!"
"Normal, the crocodile's explosive power is good."
While they were talking here, Lin Manzhang and the others also arrived.
Brother Xian looked at the crocodile and said happily, "Yes, this is the crocodile that escaped from my farm. Xiao Lu is amazing."
He said with a thumbs up.
Lu Ao said: "Fortunately, it's just luck, this crocodile should be transported back first, otherwise it's not easy to do anything."
"Okay, first move it to the car, I have a cage in the car."
This area already belongs to the dense forest, and the car cannot drive in. If you want to move the crocodile to the car, you have to carry the crocodile to the other side.
Lu Ao and the others don't need to do this kind of thing. The workers from Brother Xian's breeding factory came over, stretched out their hands, and lifted the crocodile out.
Lin Dawu said: "I said that they will definitely be fine, now you believe it?"
"I believe it, I believe it!" Brother Xian nodded again and again, "Thanks to you today, I will treat you to dinner later."
Lu Ao said: "Look for the crocodile first. Look at the traces on the ground, there must be other crocodiles nearby."
Lin Gongshang fixed his eyes on the ground, "Where is it, why didn't I see it?"
Lu Ao pointed casually, "Isn't that the fallen grass over there?"
"Ah, isn't that piece of grass all the same? Where is the fallen grass, I didn't see it!"
"You take three steps forward, and you can see it when you squat down."
"Oh."
Merchant Lin Gong honestly took three steps. After squatting down, he saw that the grass on the ground was broken, because the grass was still alive and had a strong repairing ability. Only a little trace can be found.
He turned his head and gave Lu Ao a thumbs up, "I'm convinced. Then what should we do next? Should we follow this trace?"
Lu Ao nodded and led the way.
Lin Manzhang turned to look at Lin Guixiao, "Should we go over there and look for it?"
Lin Gongshang hurriedly said: "I don't think we need to mention how many troops are divided into groups. Let's search together. Except for Lu Ao, we can't find them."
Lin Qiyan had lingering fears in his heart, "Really, let's be together. The crocodile is too fierce. You didn't see the speed it ran just now. To be honest, it was almost in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even react."
Brother Xian hurriedly explained, "The crocodile is generally unable to run long distances. If it runs over, just hold down its head with a pole, and you don't need to worry too much. These crocodiles are still small, as long as they don't bite people, they generally won't come out." What's up."
Lin Qiyan shook his head, "Maybe we're not used to seeing crocodiles, I think it's quite scary."
Brother Xian immediately said: "Since everyone is worried, it's better to look for it together."
Lin Dawu himself is not afraid of crocodiles, but he is still worried about accidents. Hearing this, he said: "What Qiyan said is also reasonable. Let's go together. At worst, it will take longer to find it. Safety is the priority."
Lu Ao didn't object, and everyone simply walked together, saying that they were looking for together, but in fact they all followed Lu Ao.
When they found the second crocodile, everyone finally understood why Lin Qiyan was so worried.
Crocodiles run so fast!
Except for crocodiles, they rarely see such fierce animals on land, even mad dogs, because they are relatively common, adults like them are not afraid of them.
But when the crocodile came rushing with its bloody mouth open, their legs were weak.
This is an instinctive human fear.
Lu Ao was very careful, so he searched for crocodiles to find one.
In one morning, they found six.
All six were subdued by Lu Ao.
When they found another one, Lin Gongshang and Lin Guixiao rushed up together without waiting for Lu Ao to make a move, excitedly saying, "Let's go first."
They watched from the sidelines all morning, and their curiosity could no longer be suppressed.
Lu Ao didn't object, but just followed behind.
When they watched Lu Ao subdue the crocodile, they always felt that Lu Ao was more than capable, as if simply pressing the fork on the crocodile's head, they could go over and tie up the crocodile's mouth with tape.
This action was so easy that they misunderstood the strength of both sides.
They missed the first time they pressed the crocodile.
Lu Ao wanted to help.
Lin Guixiao excitedly raised his hand to stop Lu Ao's movement, and said excitedly: "You are here, we can just come."
Said they are eager to try.
Who knew that they ran over excitedly and pressed their forks on the crocodile's head, but they missed it again.
The fork did not hold the crocodile at all, and the crocodile backed out as soon as it retreated from between the two forks.
The crocodile that came out was very aggressive, opened its mouth wide, and bit the two forks with an "ow".
The movement was so loud that the two of them turned pale with fright, and their first reaction was to throw away the fork and run away.
Who knew that before they could finish throwing the forks, the crocodile rolled over on the spot, and with the twisting force, directly bit off two wooden forks with a diameter of at least five centimeters.
The two of them were taken by the wooden fork, and their wrists were barely sprained.
"Why is this crocodile so fierce?" Lin Gongshang shouted, "That's too fierce!"
Lin Dawu said: "What's the matter? Why is this crocodile so fierce? When we came to look for it yesterday, the crocodile wasn't so fierce."
Brother Xian was also taken aback, "These crocodiles are not fierce when we usually feed them. Maybe this crocodile has been hungry in the wild for another day and has a bad temper?"
"Fuck, this is too fierce, it scares me to death!" Lin Gongshang shouted, "This kind of crocodile is obviously impossible for ordinary people to subdue!"
Everyone looked at the crocodile in front of them and backed away in fright.
When they were retreating, Lu Ao rushed up, put the wooden fork in his hand on the crocodile's head, knelt down on the crocodile, held it down, reached for tape, and tied up the crocodile's mouth two or three times.
His movements are clean and neat, and it only takes a few seconds from stepping forward to holding down the crazy crocodile.
A few seconds later, the crocodile was tied up.
After Lu Ao pressed it, he said: "It's not that bad, you are just inexperienced and frightened, if you let go slowly, the crocodile will be held down."
Lin Gongshang was not too convinced, "It's not just us, if someone else came, we wouldn't be able to hold back, shit, this is too fierce!"
Lin Gongshang was a little angry. Before he came to catch the crocodile, he didn't expect to face such a situation.
To be honest, he is going to get married soon, if it is really because of this little crocodile that he is in danger, even if he is bitten off by a piece of meat and is not disabled, he will have to say whether the wedding can go on or not.
Brother Xian was both embarrassed and scared, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this situation. We were really not fierce when we were raising it."
He has been raising crocodiles for two or three years. He usually catches, kills and sells crocodiles. He has never encountered any accidents, and he has never felt any threat from a small crocodile of this size, so he dared to ask them to come looking for them.
If he knew something was going to happen, he would rather pay more for a professional than call them over.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Manzhang smoothed things over and said, "I don't have experience for the first time, so just try again next time. I'll do it next time."
Lin Dawu said: "I'm with you."
After Lin Gongshang's excitement passed, he also understood in his heart that it might not be Brother Xian's intention.
At this moment, he couldn't show his face anymore, and he couldn't show his face to apologize, so he just followed behind with a stinky face.
Lin Dawu didn't expect to do something bad with good intentions, and felt a little helpless.
They went on again, but they found no sign of the crocodile.
Soon the sun was in the middle, and everyone was so hungry and tired that they all found a clean place to sit down and took out lunch from their backpacks.
Lu Ao's backpack is the largest, and it also has the most lunch in it.
Lu Ao said while eating: "There are no traces on the land, and the remaining five crocodiles are basically in the water. We may have to look for them along the river."
Brother Xian was worried, "The crocodile is more dangerous in the water than on the shore, and it's not easy to find if it's hidden in the water. Why don't we go back first, and I'll ask professionals to come and look for it?"
Although it will cost more to invite someone to come over, it is better than having an accident.
Brother Xian has been terrified these days, and he can't sleep well every day. He no longer wants to take any risks.
Lu Ao said lightly: "It's okay, I'm sure, we're not in the water, just look for it on the shore."
"It doesn't work near the water, the crocodile will suddenly jump out and attack people."
"Let me take a look again. I'll talk when I'm full."
Brother Xian is not good to say anything.
The river on their side is not deep. It is the summer flood season, and the depth of the river reaches an average adult man's thigh.
It is still easy to hide crocodiles at this depth. If the crocodiles hide underwater, they will not be able to find them at all.
Lu Ao didn't care.
He quickly finished his meal, sat where he was and closed his eyes to rest for a while, and then led a few people along the river to search.
He is skilled and bold, and he is not afraid to walk by the river.
Lin Manzhang knew his character to some extent, and had a certain judgment on his strength. Seeing that he insisted, he knew that he knew it, so he didn't say much.
Only brother Xian followed tremblingly, with layers of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Careful, stand back, there are crocodiles here."
As soon as Lu Ao opened his mouth, the others retreated reflexively, and they retreated far away in a short while.
Brother Xian shouted tremblingly: "Where is it? Why didn't we see it? Is there really a crocodile underneath? Be careful, don't get bitten."
Lu Ao nodded, "It's okay."
The water in summer is a little cloudy, and they can't see the situation under the water clearly, nor can they see the crocodiles hidden in the aquatic plants.
It was Lu Ao who reminded them that they had worked hard to identify the two nostrils for a long time.
Brother Xian let out a "fuck", the crocodile was hidden so well, no wonder they couldn't see where the crocodile was yesterday.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Lu Ao, they probably wouldn't be able to find where these crocodiles were in two days.
After waiting for a long time, the crocodiles became more and more adapted to the environment here, maybe this group of crocodiles really escaped successfully.
Thinking about it, he shuddered a little.
Breaking the law is one aspect.
The main reason is that this crocodile is a hybrid breed, specially bred to cope with the local climate.
If the crocodiles run out, there will be more crocodiles in the future, and it is unknown how many people will suffer.
He couldn't sleep at night thinking about it.He just wanted to earn a little money, and he didn't want to be a sinner here. If the crocodiles here flooded because of him, he would really be nailed to the pillar of shame in the future.
Lu Ao walked up to the crocodile and waved his fork in front of the crocodile.
The crocodile had been starving for two days, and thought the fork was food. Seeing the fork in front of him, he jumped out.
Lin Xiyan and the others watched the crocodile hanging in the air. Lu Ao took a fork and lightly yanked the crocodile's abdomen. With a "pop", the crocodile fell directly to the grass not far away.
This action is too fast!
All actions are carried out in front of your eyes like lightning!
Before everyone could react, Lu Ao had already stepped forward and grabbed the crocodile, rolled the tape around the crocodile's mouth, and tied the crocodile tightly.
Lin Qiyan took a picture of the whole process. After the filming, he couldn't help but put down the camera and applaud Lu Ao beside him. The others were mobilized and applauded enthusiastically.
There was applause instantly by the river.
Lu Ao looked back at them helplessly.
Brother Xian blushed and praised, "You are amazing! Lu Ao, this is you."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up beside him.
Lu Ao said: "Whether it's serious or not, let's talk about it later, let's take out this crocodile too."
"Yes, yes, let's take the crocodiles out first. We have already caught eight of them, and there are only four of them still fleeing, right?"
"Well, there are only four, or only three." Lu Ao lowered his voice, squinted his eyes and looked at the river more than ten meters away, "I saw another one."
Now everyone ignored the fear and ran over quickly.
Lin Qiyan ran the fastest. He took the camera and took advantage of the water before it was muddy, and took pictures from a distance.
This time the crocodile was in shallow water, and they saw the crocodile as soon as they passed.
This crocodile was a little smaller than the previous one. When it saw humans, it moved a little uneasy, but it still didn't escape.
This is the only crocodile found in shallow water.
Lin Qiyan moved closer to the camera and carefully photographed the crocodile.
Everyone felt incredible when they saw the crocodile underwater.
Originally they thought the crocodile was floating on the water, probably like a piece of wood, with the whole body floating.
In fact, the crocodile's hind feet are firmly planted in the river, only the front feet are floating in the water, and the nostrils and eyes are exposed on the water.
The crocodile is not floating in the water, it is just squatting under the water, waiting for an opportunity to move.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a dinosaur.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Guixiao couldn't help muttering: "The animal world has been wasted for so many years."
What is never expected, this is never expected.
The crocodile is not floating in the diving area, but squatting.
Lu Ao didn't wait for them to talk nonsense, and went directly to pick the crocodile ashore.
This crocodile has a more docile temperament. When Lu Ao picked up the pole in his hand, it didn't attack.
Lu Ao stepped forward and tied the crocodile's mouth neatly as usual.
The staff behind Brother Xian waited for him to tie it up, and hurried over to carry the crocodile out.
There are three crocodiles left.
The crocodile is hard to find and hard to find, but it is not difficult to find, such a big crocodile is in this place, and you can find it with snacks.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ao tied up the last crocodile.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Xian looked at the crocodile in the grass, and his eyes turned red.
The group of crocodiles was finally found, and he let go of what he had been worrying about.
Lin Dawu looked at his old friend crying from the side, and couldn't help feeling sad, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, all the crocodiles have been found, let's go back quickly, if you are the host today, you must Treat us to a big meal."
"Hey! Come back!" Brother Xian pressed his nose hard, took out a tissue and wiped his nose red, "Thanks to you today, if it weren't for you, I don't know how it would end. Let's go have a meal, tonight Never get drunk."
With that said, he walked up to Lu Ao again, and solemnly said to Lu Ao: "Brother Lu, today is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my career would be over, and most people would also be in trouble. You are my savior." !"
"It's not that exaggerated, and I'm not entirely for you." Lu Ao shook his head, "The release of the crocodile is also a hazard to the local area."
"It's not entirely for me, but it helped me in the end." Brother Xian said, "I keep your kindness in my heart. If there is anything that can be used in the future, just tell me. Whenever you need it, brother, I will help you." To and fro, without saying a word!"
Lin Dawu patted Brother Xian on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go back first, we'll talk about it later when we drink, it's too nasty to say it now."
"Hahahaha, okay, let's go back and not get drunk tonight."
All the crocodiles were caught. Brother Xian was in a very good mood and drove them back to the farm himself.
His wife didn't expect to be able to catch all the crocodiles today, and her eyes were red when she saw the crocodiles brought back.
Brother Xian shouted: "Honey, how about some good dishes you cook tonight, we want to drink."
His wife wiped her eyes, "Hey, you wait, I'll call and order some dishes for you to drink first!"
Lin Manzhang said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother too much, we can just eat a little bit."
"Don't bother, don't bother, you finally came here and treat you to a crocodile feast!" His wife hurriedly said, "Sit here for a while, and I'll serve the soup first."
My wife had expected that they would come back for dinner, so she started stewing crocodile soup in the afternoon.
Lu Ao only picked the meat and fried it yesterday. The fried meat was very tender and tasted good.
I didn't expect that the crocodile soup I drank today was called delicious.
I don’t know how this soup is stewed, but it is very sweet, especially with Codonopsis ginseng and red dates on it. It tastes like chicken soup, but it doesn’t taste like chicken soup.
After drinking this soup in one bowl, the whole body warms up and feels very nourishing.
Brother Xian saw that they liked it, so he was busy serving them the second bowl and the third bowl.
While drinking the soup, Brother Xian went inside and brought out a tank of wine, "It's the crocodile wine I brewed, you should try it too, they say the crocodile wine is very nourishing, especially good for men."
As soon as he said this, several people present laughed tacitly, and they took bowls to fill it up.
Only Lu Ao shook his head, "I don't really like drinking wine made with animals."
Seeing his refusal, Lin Qiyan quickly followed suit. "I don't like it either. I can just drink a bowl of soup, and you can drink."
"Hey, why don't you drink such a good wine? What a waste, come and drink a bowl? How about pouring you a half bowl, and you can taste it."
Lu Ao resolutely refused, "You guys drink, I will drive later."
"That's fine, then let's drink." Lin Dawu said, "In the new era, it's persuasive. If you don't drink it, don't force it. You should drink until everyone is happy."
"That's fine. You can drink as much as you want, and you can drink two more bowls of soup."
Lu Ao nodded.
He quite likes this crocodile soup.
It's a pity that it can't be packaged for Songzhou to drink.
Soon, the dishes that Brother Xian ordered in the town arrived, and there were eight more dishes on the table. His wife was busy in the kitchen, and brought them one by one.
The dishes in the town are all hard dishes, such as sweet and sour fish, roast chicken, roast goose... all kinds of meat are served on the table, and everyone is happy to drink and eat meat.
His wife basically cooks all crocodile meat, whether it is stir-fried, stewed, or pan-fried, it tastes very good.
I don't know if it's an improved variety, but these crocodile meats don't taste fishy and hard as uploaded on the Internet, but are fragrant and tender.
Lu Ao ate very satisfied.
After eating for more than two hours, we didn't go back home until it was dark.
Lu Ao was driving, and Lin Xiyan was sitting on the co-pilot's desk, looking back frequently all the way, and the people behind were all a little drunk, very drunk.
Lu Ao originally wanted to go back earlier. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to send everyone home one by one with Lin Qiyan before they could go home.
He was driving Lin Dawu's car.
Gui Yandan asked him to drive back and drive to the town when he was free.
It was the first time Lu Ao drove this kind of van, and it felt pretty good. When he arrived at the door of his house, he lightly honked the horn.
Song Zhou opened the door quickly, and smiled when he saw him, "Why did you come back so late, have you found all the crocodiles?"
"I found it, there were quite a few, and I sent them all back."
When he spoke, Song Zhou smelled the alcohol on his body, and his brows showed worry, "Have you been drinking?"
"I didn't drink it, maybe it smelled of alcohol on them." Lu Ao got out of the car, went to the trunk and took out a big bag of crocodile meat, "The crocodile-raising brother Xian gave me a gift in return today, I'll make some soup later .”
"It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Then I'll stew the soup tonight and drink it tomorrow morning. This is the soup recipe I specially asked his family to bring. It tastes good. I don't know if you will like it."
The crocodile meat that Lu Ao brought back yesterday was skinned.
The crocodile skin of Siamese crocodile is quite expensive, and someone outside specially collects this, so Lin Dawu didn't waste it.
The crocodile meat he brought back today was skinned, but the nails on it were scalded off.
This layer of skin can also be eaten. It tastes a bit like the skirt of a soft-shelled turtle, soft and glutinous, and has a strong gelatinous texture.
Lu Ao couldn't wait for Songzhou to taste it.
Song Zhou came to help him, but when he got close to him, he gave Song Zhou a slight push, "Don't get so close, I smell bad all over my body."
"It's quite smelly. If you don't know it, you might think you fell into the wine tank."
Lu Ao gave a "tsk", "I thought you would say it doesn't stink."
"I'm telling the truth."
Lu Ao couldn't stand the smell of himself, so he hurriedly threw the crocodile meat into the refrigerator and said, "Then I'll take a bath first, and I'll come over to deal with the crocodile meat later."
Song Zhou leaned against the door, "Why don't I wash it with you."
"No." Lu Ao resolutely refused, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Song Zhou couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Don't ordinary people say that they are afraid that the other party will not be able to control them?"
Lu Ao muttered, "We are not ordinary people."
He said that he quickly found out his clothes and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
Song Zhou moved a chair, sat at the door of the bathroom and talked to him, "How does it feel to catch crocodiles today?"
"It's okay, not as fierce as the fish in the sea, and the crocodile doesn't hide well, not as cunning as the fish in the sea."
"Sounds easy?"
"Well, but Lin Qiyan and the others were scared to death." Lu Ao said while washing his hair, "After the arrest, the master was very grateful to me, and said that if there is anything that can help, he will go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire in the future. will help."
Song Zhou couldn't help laughing, "Why does it sound so quack?"
"I heard that I used to be a mixed society." Lu Ao said, "I found that after I was reborn, my popularity became better at 01:30, and many people called me brothers."
"Human beings are not blind. You are so capable, so naturally everyone is vying to please you."
"Yeah." Lu Ao said again, "One more thing, I'm going to catch octopus with Brother Zhang tomorrow, and I won't be back for lunch tomorrow."
"What octopus did you catch?"
"It's those little octopuses that change color." Lu Ao said, "I haven't caught that one, I'm a little curious. Brother Zhang said that there are already octopuses one after another this season. We spend seven Half a month to eat octopus."
July and a half, Hungry Ghost Festival.
This is a festival to pay homage to the ancestors.
When Lu Ao talked about this festival, his voice became muffled.
He was the only one left in his family, and even he didn't survive.
Song Zhou sat outside, startled.
After a while, he said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Do not you have to work?"
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it and just take some time out to deal with business."
"Okay, I'll tell him later." Lu Ao's voice sounded softly, "Thank you."
A few people shouted hot as soon as they came in.
Lin Gongshang took off the straw hat he was wearing and fanned it, saying, "I don't know what kind of weather it is, it's almost October, and it's too hot to sit still."
"You don't like heat right now. When you have a wedding, put a suit on your body. What will you do then?"
Lin Gongshang stopped talking, just giggled beside him.
After a few words, everyone got in the car and went to the crocodile farmers.
The crocodile farmer's home is in another town, a little far away from their town, and they drove for more than an hour.
After finally getting to the place, the farmers stood at the intersection to meet them, and raised their hands from a long distance, "Here we come, come in first and have a cup of tea."
Lin Dawu looked at Lin Manzhang and the others.
Several people shook their heads, "It's more important to find the crocodile first."
The farmer was also anxious, but he still said: "It's not too late, you come all the way here, and you still have to have a cup of tea, so I can tell you about the situation."
Lin Manzhang asked the farmer: "Brother Xian, how big is your running crocodile?"
"Most of them weigh thirty to forty kilograms, and a few weigh more than 50 kilograms." Brother Xian said, "The crocodiles are still small crocodiles, but these crocodiles are more aggressive, and it is not easy to catch them."
While talking, everyone followed Brother Xian to his house for tea.
At the tea table, Brother Xian said: "My crocodiles are all Siamese crocodiles. They were brought in the year before last. They were bred smoothly before. I don't know if they will run away suddenly this time. It was my mistake."
"Where can they escape to?"
"It's hard to say. They can be on the shore or in the water, and they can adapt to the seawater environment. This range is too large. We have searched up and down the river, and there are still twelve caught fish."
"so smart?"
"Yes." Brother Xian sighed, and said, "I'm worried about those crocodiles hiding in a certain corner now. Our crocodiles are more resistant to hunger, and it's okay to eat once a week. If they hide in a corner, Couldn't find it for weeks."
Lu Ao said: "I saw that the crocodile that brother Da Wu took back yesterday was not very big, and it shouldn't be able to attack people after thirty or forty catties?"
Brother Xian shook his head, "It's hard to say, the crocodile's bite force is still very strong, it is said to be four times stronger than the tiger's bite force. With such a strong bite force, we don't worry about leaving the crocodile outside, or something will happen. It's too late to cry."
Lin Dawu chimed in, "Today, everyone will try their best to help find it. If you can find it, don't fight alone. Let's go there together."
Lin Manzhang asked: "Have you reported the crime? Have you reported to the forest police?"
"Reported, they came here yesterday to help you find them, and they will come today, but they don't have any good solutions, it depends on luck." Brother Xian smoked a cigarette with a sad face, "It's mainly the crocodiles living outside. There are too many, if there are only one or two, I will not be afraid to find them slowly, but more than ten will not do.”
Lin Dawu: "Don't worry too much, let's help find them together today, maybe we can find them all at night."
"I hope, I don't dare to have too much hope, anyway, everything will trouble you."
After the group finished drinking tea, Brother Xian told them the precautions, and then went out in groups of two to look for them.
Lu Ao is strong and capable, and his partner is the relatively weak Lin Qiyan.
Each of them took a fork. When they found the crocodile, they couldn't grab it directly. They had to hold down the crocodile's head with the fork first, and then grabbed it.
Once caught, just tape the crocodile's mouth up.
The crocodile's bite force is very strong, but the mouth tension is not strong. Once it is wrapped with tape, it can't open its mouth, and naturally it can't bite.
Lu Ao and Lin Qiyan walked up the tributary of the river. When they walked, they should also pay attention to the situation on the shore. The crocodile may hide in the bushes and attack people.
Lin Qiyan was walking and taking pictures, and he was still a little nervous when facing the camera, "The grass here is too dense, maybe the crocodile is hiding in it."
"Probably not, I didn't hear the animal's voice." Lu Ao looked at the front intently, put the fork in front of him, and said to Lin Qiyan, "You follow me, don't worry too much. Compared with the crocodile, you need to pay more attention It's snakes and insects."
"I see." Lin Qiyan whispered while taking pictures, "Brother Xian is so pitiful. The investment in raising crocodiles is so high, and so many ran away at once. I don't know if I can get back the money this year."
"If you can find them all today." Lu Ao said, "Let's find them first."
Lin Qiyan sighed quietly.
He checked the information before, and the crocodile is a national protected animal. It is not easy to go through the breeding procedures, especially this Siamese crocodile, which is not produced locally and needs to be imported from abroad. One hundred thousand down.
The cost of breeding crocodiles is also very high, not to mention manpower and material resources, crocodiles are very edible and eat 30.00% of their own body weight in food every week, that is to say, a [-]-jin crocodile needs to eat meat every week Ten catties.
Even if they feed the crocodiles with fish, ten catties of fish cost at least tens of dollars, which is not a low cost.
While taking pictures, Lin Qiyan explained in a low voice to the camera.
In order for the audience to understand the cause and effect.
While he was talking, Lu Ao suddenly said, "Back up."
"what?"
"There are crocodiles."
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it? It's all grass!" Lin Qiyan became nervous and spoke quickly, "How far and how many meters do you have to retreat?"
Lu Ao said: "Ten meters away, now, retreat!"
Lin Qiyan was so nervous that his hair was going to explode, he turned around and ran, turning his head to look at Lu Ao while running.
Just when he ran two or three meters, he turned his head and saw a black shadow flashing in front of Lu Ao.
"Ah—" Lin Qiyan screamed.
The crocodile in front of Lu Ao jumped up.
That crocodile is not very big, just over one meter in size.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, who will tell him that the crocodile runs so fast on the shore? !
And why does this crocodile run like a dog? !
Lin Qiyan looked at the crocodile that landed on its front feet, raised its back feet, and ran forward with every leap, and his scalp felt numb.
He always thought that the crocodile crawled like a four-horned lizard, that is, crawled on the ground with four legs twisting and twisting, and the speed would not be very fast.
But the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination. The crocodile actually ran over, faster than a dog.
The problem is, it's not a crazy wild dog, it's a monstrous crocodile!
The bite force of this crocodile is four times stronger than that of a tiger. If it is bitten, a piece of meat will definitely be gone!
Lin Qiyan watched the crocodile attack, he wanted to throw down the camera to save Lu Ao, but he was too scared to move.
He froze in place, his screams almost breaking into waves.
"Ah~~~~"
The scream could be heard miles away.
Lin Manzhang yelled in the distance, "Xiyan, what happened to you?! Hold on, we'll come over right away!"
Lu Ao raised his voice, "No need, I found a crocodile and caught it already!"
When Lin Qiyan heard this, he opened his eyes with lingering fear, and saw Lu Ao kneeling on a crocodile more than ten meters away.
With one hand he held the crocodile's head, and with the other he took tape from his backpack.
Lin Qiyan pressed his chest, walked back slowly, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'll help."
Lu Ao: "Help me take out the tape and tear out a hole."
Lin Qiyan shook his hands, took a long time to take out the tape, and then tore the hole.
Lu Ao reached out to take it, and neatly tied it to the crocodile's mouth.
The crocodile was tied up and struggled desperately.
However, apart from that mouth, it has no other means of attack. Compared with the mouth, its claws are much blunt, and nothing can happen if it scratches people.
Lin Qiyan felt that his heartbeat was not stable, and he patted his chest: "Why is the crocodile running like this? It's still running so fast!"
"Normal, the crocodile's explosive power is good."
While they were talking here, Lin Manzhang and the others also arrived.
Brother Xian looked at the crocodile and said happily, "Yes, this is the crocodile that escaped from my farm. Xiao Lu is amazing."
He said with a thumbs up.
Lu Ao said: "Fortunately, it's just luck, this crocodile should be transported back first, otherwise it's not easy to do anything."
"Okay, first move it to the car, I have a cage in the car."
This area already belongs to the dense forest, and the car cannot drive in. If you want to move the crocodile to the car, you have to carry the crocodile to the other side.
Lu Ao and the others don't need to do this kind of thing. The workers from Brother Xian's breeding factory came over, stretched out their hands, and lifted the crocodile out.
Lin Dawu said: "I said that they will definitely be fine, now you believe it?"
"I believe it, I believe it!" Brother Xian nodded again and again, "Thanks to you today, I will treat you to dinner later."
Lu Ao said: "Look for the crocodile first. Look at the traces on the ground, there must be other crocodiles nearby."
Lin Gongshang fixed his eyes on the ground, "Where is it, why didn't I see it?"
Lu Ao pointed casually, "Isn't that the fallen grass over there?"
"Ah, isn't that piece of grass all the same? Where is the fallen grass, I didn't see it!"
"You take three steps forward, and you can see it when you squat down."
"Oh."
Merchant Lin Gong honestly took three steps. After squatting down, he saw that the grass on the ground was broken, because the grass was still alive and had a strong repairing ability. Only a little trace can be found.
He turned his head and gave Lu Ao a thumbs up, "I'm convinced. Then what should we do next? Should we follow this trace?"
Lu Ao nodded and led the way.
Lin Manzhang turned to look at Lin Guixiao, "Should we go over there and look for it?"
Lin Gongshang hurriedly said: "I don't think we need to mention how many troops are divided into groups. Let's search together. Except for Lu Ao, we can't find them."
Lin Qiyan had lingering fears in his heart, "Really, let's be together. The crocodile is too fierce. You didn't see the speed it ran just now. To be honest, it was almost in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even react."
Brother Xian hurriedly explained, "The crocodile is generally unable to run long distances. If it runs over, just hold down its head with a pole, and you don't need to worry too much. These crocodiles are still small, as long as they don't bite people, they generally won't come out." What's up."
Lin Qiyan shook his head, "Maybe we're not used to seeing crocodiles, I think it's quite scary."
Brother Xian immediately said: "Since everyone is worried, it's better to look for it together."
Lin Dawu himself is not afraid of crocodiles, but he is still worried about accidents. Hearing this, he said: "What Qiyan said is also reasonable. Let's go together. At worst, it will take longer to find it. Safety is the priority."
Lu Ao didn't object, and everyone simply walked together, saying that they were looking for together, but in fact they all followed Lu Ao.
When they found the second crocodile, everyone finally understood why Lin Qiyan was so worried.
Crocodiles run so fast!
Except for crocodiles, they rarely see such fierce animals on land, even mad dogs, because they are relatively common, adults like them are not afraid of them.
But when the crocodile came rushing with its bloody mouth open, their legs were weak.
This is an instinctive human fear.
Lu Ao was very careful, so he searched for crocodiles to find one.
In one morning, they found six.
All six were subdued by Lu Ao.
When they found another one, Lin Gongshang and Lin Guixiao rushed up together without waiting for Lu Ao to make a move, excitedly saying, "Let's go first."
They watched from the sidelines all morning, and their curiosity could no longer be suppressed.
Lu Ao didn't object, but just followed behind.
When they watched Lu Ao subdue the crocodile, they always felt that Lu Ao was more than capable, as if simply pressing the fork on the crocodile's head, they could go over and tie up the crocodile's mouth with tape.
This action was so easy that they misunderstood the strength of both sides.
They missed the first time they pressed the crocodile.
Lu Ao wanted to help.
Lin Guixiao excitedly raised his hand to stop Lu Ao's movement, and said excitedly: "You are here, we can just come."
Said they are eager to try.
Who knew that they ran over excitedly and pressed their forks on the crocodile's head, but they missed it again.
The fork did not hold the crocodile at all, and the crocodile backed out as soon as it retreated from between the two forks.
The crocodile that came out was very aggressive, opened its mouth wide, and bit the two forks with an "ow".
The movement was so loud that the two of them turned pale with fright, and their first reaction was to throw away the fork and run away.
Who knew that before they could finish throwing the forks, the crocodile rolled over on the spot, and with the twisting force, directly bit off two wooden forks with a diameter of at least five centimeters.
The two of them were taken by the wooden fork, and their wrists were barely sprained.
"Why is this crocodile so fierce?" Lin Gongshang shouted, "That's too fierce!"
Lin Dawu said: "What's the matter? Why is this crocodile so fierce? When we came to look for it yesterday, the crocodile wasn't so fierce."
Brother Xian was also taken aback, "These crocodiles are not fierce when we usually feed them. Maybe this crocodile has been hungry in the wild for another day and has a bad temper?"
"Fuck, this is too fierce, it scares me to death!" Lin Gongshang shouted, "This kind of crocodile is obviously impossible for ordinary people to subdue!"
Everyone looked at the crocodile in front of them and backed away in fright.
When they were retreating, Lu Ao rushed up, put the wooden fork in his hand on the crocodile's head, knelt down on the crocodile, held it down, reached for tape, and tied up the crocodile's mouth two or three times.
His movements are clean and neat, and it only takes a few seconds from stepping forward to holding down the crazy crocodile.
A few seconds later, the crocodile was tied up.
After Lu Ao pressed it, he said: "It's not that bad, you are just inexperienced and frightened, if you let go slowly, the crocodile will be held down."
Lin Gongshang was not too convinced, "It's not just us, if someone else came, we wouldn't be able to hold back, shit, this is too fierce!"
Lin Gongshang was a little angry. Before he came to catch the crocodile, he didn't expect to face such a situation.
To be honest, he is going to get married soon, if it is really because of this little crocodile that he is in danger, even if he is bitten off by a piece of meat and is not disabled, he will have to say whether the wedding can go on or not.
Brother Xian was both embarrassed and scared, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this situation. We were really not fierce when we were raising it."
He has been raising crocodiles for two or three years. He usually catches, kills and sells crocodiles. He has never encountered any accidents, and he has never felt any threat from a small crocodile of this size, so he dared to ask them to come looking for them.
If he knew something was going to happen, he would rather pay more for a professional than call them over.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Lin Manzhang smoothed things over and said, "I don't have experience for the first time, so just try again next time. I'll do it next time."
Lin Dawu said: "I'm with you."
After Lin Gongshang's excitement passed, he also understood in his heart that it might not be Brother Xian's intention.
At this moment, he couldn't show his face anymore, and he couldn't show his face to apologize, so he just followed behind with a stinky face.
Lin Dawu didn't expect to do something bad with good intentions, and felt a little helpless.
They went on again, but they found no sign of the crocodile.
Soon the sun was in the middle, and everyone was so hungry and tired that they all found a clean place to sit down and took out lunch from their backpacks.
Lu Ao's backpack is the largest, and it also has the most lunch in it.
Lu Ao said while eating: "There are no traces on the land, and the remaining five crocodiles are basically in the water. We may have to look for them along the river."
Brother Xian was worried, "The crocodile is more dangerous in the water than on the shore, and it's not easy to find if it's hidden in the water. Why don't we go back first, and I'll ask professionals to come and look for it?"
Although it will cost more to invite someone to come over, it is better than having an accident.
Brother Xian has been terrified these days, and he can't sleep well every day. He no longer wants to take any risks.
Lu Ao said lightly: "It's okay, I'm sure, we're not in the water, just look for it on the shore."
"It doesn't work near the water, the crocodile will suddenly jump out and attack people."
"Let me take a look again. I'll talk when I'm full."
Brother Xian is not good to say anything.
The river on their side is not deep. It is the summer flood season, and the depth of the river reaches an average adult man's thigh.
It is still easy to hide crocodiles at this depth. If the crocodiles hide underwater, they will not be able to find them at all.
Lu Ao didn't care.
He quickly finished his meal, sat where he was and closed his eyes to rest for a while, and then led a few people along the river to search.
He is skilled and bold, and he is not afraid to walk by the river.
Lin Manzhang knew his character to some extent, and had a certain judgment on his strength. Seeing that he insisted, he knew that he knew it, so he didn't say much.
Only brother Xian followed tremblingly, with layers of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Careful, stand back, there are crocodiles here."
As soon as Lu Ao opened his mouth, the others retreated reflexively, and they retreated far away in a short while.
Brother Xian shouted tremblingly: "Where is it? Why didn't we see it? Is there really a crocodile underneath? Be careful, don't get bitten."
Lu Ao nodded, "It's okay."
The water in summer is a little cloudy, and they can't see the situation under the water clearly, nor can they see the crocodiles hidden in the aquatic plants.
It was Lu Ao who reminded them that they had worked hard to identify the two nostrils for a long time.
Brother Xian let out a "fuck", the crocodile was hidden so well, no wonder they couldn't see where the crocodile was yesterday.
To be honest, if it wasn't for Lu Ao, they probably wouldn't be able to find where these crocodiles were in two days.
After waiting for a long time, the crocodiles became more and more adapted to the environment here, maybe this group of crocodiles really escaped successfully.
Thinking about it, he shuddered a little.
Breaking the law is one aspect.
The main reason is that this crocodile is a hybrid breed, specially bred to cope with the local climate.
If the crocodiles run out, there will be more crocodiles in the future, and it is unknown how many people will suffer.
He couldn't sleep at night thinking about it.He just wanted to earn a little money, and he didn't want to be a sinner here. If the crocodiles here flooded because of him, he would really be nailed to the pillar of shame in the future.
Lu Ao walked up to the crocodile and waved his fork in front of the crocodile.
The crocodile had been starving for two days, and thought the fork was food. Seeing the fork in front of him, he jumped out.
Lin Xiyan and the others watched the crocodile hanging in the air. Lu Ao took a fork and lightly yanked the crocodile's abdomen. With a "pop", the crocodile fell directly to the grass not far away.
This action is too fast!
All actions are carried out in front of your eyes like lightning!
Before everyone could react, Lu Ao had already stepped forward and grabbed the crocodile, rolled the tape around the crocodile's mouth, and tied the crocodile tightly.
Lin Qiyan took a picture of the whole process. After the filming, he couldn't help but put down the camera and applaud Lu Ao beside him. The others were mobilized and applauded enthusiastically.
There was applause instantly by the river.
Lu Ao looked back at them helplessly.
Brother Xian blushed and praised, "You are amazing! Lu Ao, this is you."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up beside him.
Lu Ao said: "Whether it's serious or not, let's talk about it later, let's take out this crocodile too."
"Yes, yes, let's take the crocodiles out first. We have already caught eight of them, and there are only four of them still fleeing, right?"
"Well, there are only four, or only three." Lu Ao lowered his voice, squinted his eyes and looked at the river more than ten meters away, "I saw another one."
Now everyone ignored the fear and ran over quickly.
Lin Qiyan ran the fastest. He took the camera and took advantage of the water before it was muddy, and took pictures from a distance.
This time the crocodile was in shallow water, and they saw the crocodile as soon as they passed.
This crocodile was a little smaller than the previous one. When it saw humans, it moved a little uneasy, but it still didn't escape.
This is the only crocodile found in shallow water.
Lin Qiyan moved closer to the camera and carefully photographed the crocodile.
Everyone felt incredible when they saw the crocodile underwater.
Originally they thought the crocodile was floating on the water, probably like a piece of wood, with the whole body floating.
In fact, the crocodile's hind feet are firmly planted in the river, only the front feet are floating in the water, and the nostrils and eyes are exposed on the water.
The crocodile is not floating in the water, it is just squatting under the water, waiting for an opportunity to move.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a dinosaur.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Guixiao couldn't help muttering: "The animal world has been wasted for so many years."
What is never expected, this is never expected.
The crocodile is not floating in the diving area, but squatting.
Lu Ao didn't wait for them to talk nonsense, and went directly to pick the crocodile ashore.
This crocodile has a more docile temperament. When Lu Ao picked up the pole in his hand, it didn't attack.
Lu Ao stepped forward and tied the crocodile's mouth neatly as usual.
The staff behind Brother Xian waited for him to tie it up, and hurried over to carry the crocodile out.
There are three crocodiles left.
The crocodile is hard to find and hard to find, but it is not difficult to find, such a big crocodile is in this place, and you can find it with snacks.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ao tied up the last crocodile.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Xian looked at the crocodile in the grass, and his eyes turned red.
The group of crocodiles was finally found, and he let go of what he had been worrying about.
Lin Dawu looked at his old friend crying from the side, and couldn't help feeling sad, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, all the crocodiles have been found, let's go back quickly, if you are the host today, you must Treat us to a big meal."
"Hey! Come back!" Brother Xian pressed his nose hard, took out a tissue and wiped his nose red, "Thanks to you today, if it weren't for you, I don't know how it would end. Let's go have a meal, tonight Never get drunk."
With that said, he walked up to Lu Ao again, and solemnly said to Lu Ao: "Brother Lu, today is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my career would be over, and most people would also be in trouble. You are my savior." !"
"It's not that exaggerated, and I'm not entirely for you." Lu Ao shook his head, "The release of the crocodile is also a hazard to the local area."
"It's not entirely for me, but it helped me in the end." Brother Xian said, "I keep your kindness in my heart. If there is anything that can be used in the future, just tell me. Whenever you need it, brother, I will help you." To and fro, without saying a word!"
Lin Dawu patted Brother Xian on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go back first, we'll talk about it later when we drink, it's too nasty to say it now."
"Hahahaha, okay, let's go back and not get drunk tonight."
All the crocodiles were caught. Brother Xian was in a very good mood and drove them back to the farm himself.
His wife didn't expect to be able to catch all the crocodiles today, and her eyes were red when she saw the crocodiles brought back.
Brother Xian shouted: "Honey, how about some good dishes you cook tonight, we want to drink."
His wife wiped her eyes, "Hey, you wait, I'll call and order some dishes for you to drink first!"
Lin Manzhang said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother too much, we can just eat a little bit."
"Don't bother, don't bother, you finally came here and treat you to a crocodile feast!" His wife hurriedly said, "Sit here for a while, and I'll serve the soup first."
My wife had expected that they would come back for dinner, so she started stewing crocodile soup in the afternoon.
Lu Ao only picked the meat and fried it yesterday. The fried meat was very tender and tasted good.
I didn't expect that the crocodile soup I drank today was called delicious.
I don’t know how this soup is stewed, but it is very sweet, especially with Codonopsis ginseng and red dates on it. It tastes like chicken soup, but it doesn’t taste like chicken soup.
After drinking this soup in one bowl, the whole body warms up and feels very nourishing.
Brother Xian saw that they liked it, so he was busy serving them the second bowl and the third bowl.
While drinking the soup, Brother Xian went inside and brought out a tank of wine, "It's the crocodile wine I brewed, you should try it too, they say the crocodile wine is very nourishing, especially good for men."
As soon as he said this, several people present laughed tacitly, and they took bowls to fill it up.
Only Lu Ao shook his head, "I don't really like drinking wine made with animals."
Seeing his refusal, Lin Qiyan quickly followed suit. "I don't like it either. I can just drink a bowl of soup, and you can drink."
"Hey, why don't you drink such a good wine? What a waste, come and drink a bowl? How about pouring you a half bowl, and you can taste it."
Lu Ao resolutely refused, "You guys drink, I will drive later."
"That's fine, then let's drink." Lin Dawu said, "In the new era, it's persuasive. If you don't drink it, don't force it. You should drink until everyone is happy."
"That's fine. You can drink as much as you want, and you can drink two more bowls of soup."
Lu Ao nodded.
He quite likes this crocodile soup.
It's a pity that it can't be packaged for Songzhou to drink.
Soon, the dishes that Brother Xian ordered in the town arrived, and there were eight more dishes on the table. His wife was busy in the kitchen, and brought them one by one.
The dishes in the town are all hard dishes, such as sweet and sour fish, roast chicken, roast goose... all kinds of meat are served on the table, and everyone is happy to drink and eat meat.
His wife basically cooks all crocodile meat, whether it is stir-fried, stewed, or pan-fried, it tastes very good.
I don't know if it's an improved variety, but these crocodile meats don't taste fishy and hard as uploaded on the Internet, but are fragrant and tender.
Lu Ao ate very satisfied.
After eating for more than two hours, we didn't go back home until it was dark.
Lu Ao was driving, and Lin Xiyan was sitting on the co-pilot's desk, looking back frequently all the way, and the people behind were all a little drunk, very drunk.
Lu Ao originally wanted to go back earlier. Faced with this situation, he had no choice but to send everyone home one by one with Lin Qiyan before they could go home.
He was driving Lin Dawu's car.
Gui Yandan asked him to drive back and drive to the town when he was free.
It was the first time Lu Ao drove this kind of van, and it felt pretty good. When he arrived at the door of his house, he lightly honked the horn.
Song Zhou opened the door quickly, and smiled when he saw him, "Why did you come back so late, have you found all the crocodiles?"
"I found it, there were quite a few, and I sent them all back."
When he spoke, Song Zhou smelled the alcohol on his body, and his brows showed worry, "Have you been drinking?"
"I didn't drink it, maybe it smelled of alcohol on them." Lu Ao got out of the car, went to the trunk and took out a big bag of crocodile meat, "The crocodile-raising brother Xian gave me a gift in return today, I'll make some soup later .”
"It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Then I'll stew the soup tonight and drink it tomorrow morning. This is the soup recipe I specially asked his family to bring. It tastes good. I don't know if you will like it."
The crocodile meat that Lu Ao brought back yesterday was skinned.
The crocodile skin of Siamese crocodile is quite expensive, and someone outside specially collects this, so Lin Dawu didn't waste it.
The crocodile meat he brought back today was skinned, but the nails on it were scalded off.
This layer of skin can also be eaten. It tastes a bit like the skirt of a soft-shelled turtle, soft and glutinous, and has a strong gelatinous texture.
Lu Ao couldn't wait for Songzhou to taste it.
Song Zhou came to help him, but when he got close to him, he gave Song Zhou a slight push, "Don't get so close, I smell bad all over my body."
"It's quite smelly. If you don't know it, you might think you fell into the wine tank."
Lu Ao gave a "tsk", "I thought you would say it doesn't stink."
"I'm telling the truth."
Lu Ao couldn't stand the smell of himself, so he hurriedly threw the crocodile meat into the refrigerator and said, "Then I'll take a bath first, and I'll come over to deal with the crocodile meat later."
Song Zhou leaned against the door, "Why don't I wash it with you."
"No." Lu Ao resolutely refused, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Song Zhou couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Don't ordinary people say that they are afraid that the other party will not be able to control them?"
Lu Ao muttered, "We are not ordinary people."
He said that he quickly found out his clothes and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
Song Zhou moved a chair, sat at the door of the bathroom and talked to him, "How does it feel to catch crocodiles today?"
"It's okay, not as fierce as the fish in the sea, and the crocodile doesn't hide well, not as cunning as the fish in the sea."
"Sounds easy?"
"Well, but Lin Qiyan and the others were scared to death." Lu Ao said while washing his hair, "After the arrest, the master was very grateful to me, and said that if there is anything that can help, he will go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire in the future. will help."
Song Zhou couldn't help laughing, "Why does it sound so quack?"
"I heard that I used to be a mixed society." Lu Ao said, "I found that after I was reborn, my popularity became better at 01:30, and many people called me brothers."
"Human beings are not blind. You are so capable, so naturally everyone is vying to please you."
"Yeah." Lu Ao said again, "One more thing, I'm going to catch octopus with Brother Zhang tomorrow, and I won't be back for lunch tomorrow."
"What octopus did you catch?"
"It's those little octopuses that change color." Lu Ao said, "I haven't caught that one, I'm a little curious. Brother Zhang said that there are already octopuses one after another this season. We spend seven Half a month to eat octopus."
July and a half, Hungry Ghost Festival.
This is a festival to pay homage to the ancestors.
When Lu Ao talked about this festival, his voice became muffled.
He was the only one left in his family, and even he didn't survive.
Song Zhou sat outside, startled.
After a while, he said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
"Do not you have to work?"
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it and just take some time out to deal with business."
"Okay, I'll tell him later." Lu Ao's voice sounded softly, "Thank you."
