Soon after the news spread, many villagers who had free time began to take action.

Went to catch lobsters.

It's still early now, so it won't be a problem to grab a few pounds before dark.

Dozens of dollars, and one hundred dollars are about to be received, and the villagers are all very motivated.

Someone went to the fields to catch him.

Some people are fishing in ditches, weirs, ponds and other deeper waters.

There are also people who go everywhere with floor cages.

After my father returned home, he also carried a bucket and went to the field to catch lobsters.

This is the first time in the village that so many adults went to the fields to catch lobsters at the same time.

Many people were very moved when they saw it, but also a little excited.

The topic of Li You buying a large amount of lobsters quickly became the main topic in the village.

It is said everywhere and displayed in every house.

Very lively.

……

Jiulong Gorge.

After Li You finished calling his father, he sent Ye Shengge a WeChat message, saying that he would launch two new dishes, the tiger-flavored crucian carp and the spicy crayfish, the day after tomorrow.

Ye Shengge quickly replied to the message, "Great! I like both of these dishes. Especially the spicy crayfish, I like it very much. Then I will come over the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, you're very welcome!"

After chatting with Ye Shengge for a few more words, Li You walked into the kitchen and took out about 50 kilograms of young ginger from the storage cabinet. After washing it, he put it into the pickled cabbage jar.

Soak the peppers and ginger.

At this time, another customer came into the store, and they were all people from the town.

Now more and more people in the town know about Li You's store.

Li You started busy again.

After a lot of work, the dishes ordered by the guests were served.

Slowly, when this wave of guests finished eating and left, Zhao Yu and others finally had enough to eat and drink.

Everyone said with great satisfaction that they had a great time drinking this wine at noon today.

In a small town like theirs, being able to drink such fine wine and eat such delicious food is simply more comfortable than those in big cities.

"Boss, let's settle the score."

Li You calculated the accounts, and in the end he only received food money, not wine money.

Since I said I would treat him to the drink today, I must keep my word.

Everyone was very happy and thanked Li You again for inviting them to drink such a beautiful wine.

Li You asks everyone to be welcome.

Later, Zhao Yu called a motorcycle master and asked him to find eleven motorcycles to pick him up here.

Two people in one car.

Half an hour later, eleven motorcycles drove into the parking lot.

Everyone left on motorcycles.

Li You lay on the rocking chair to rest.

After a while, Xia Xiaoyue, Mu Qingye, and Chu Yiwei came back.

Li You asked: "How is it? Have you met a red-crowned crane?"

Mu Qingye regretted: "No."

Li You said: "It is indeed not easy to encounter a red-crowned crane. However, this also shows that you were really lucky to encounter it last time and take so many photos."

After hearing this, Mu Qingye smiled and said: "It is indeed true. I was actually very satisfied to be able to take so many photos that day."

Xia Xiaoyue stretched out her hand in front of Li You and said, "Although we didn't encounter the red-crowned crane, we found this one."

Xia Xiaoyue's palms were filled with small black beads.

Li You smiled and said, "Aren't these urine beads?"

Xia Xiaoyue nodded and said: "Yes! When I was a child, I liked to string them together with a thread and wear them as bracelets. I haven't seen them in many years. I didn't expect to meet them today. I want to wear them

Go back to school and string them into bracelets to reminisce about your childhood."

Li You smiled and nodded.

In rural areas, urine beads are a kind of toy for children. Stringing them together as bracelets is something many children have done.

Of course Li You has done it himself.

In some other places, urine beads are also called grass beads, bodhi seeds, grains, etc., and are a kind of wild plant.

Some of its plants are like corn, and some are like sorghum. However, the stems are thinner and stand upright in clusters.

They tend to grow in clumps, usually more than one meter high.

The fruit is black or flower-colored when ripe. The outer skin is hard, smooth, and shiny.

After removing the core in the middle, it will be hollow. You can string it up with a rope and use it as a bracelet or hanging beads.

"These beads are very beautiful! Why are they called 'pee beads'?" Mu Qingye asked.

Many other girls also find it strange.

They grew up in the city and have never been exposed to such beads. Today is the first time they see them.

"I know this," Chu Yiwei said, "because there is a rumor among the people that if children play with these beads, they will wet the bed at night. Also, if they are strung into a bracelet and worn on the hand, they will also suck blood.

."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "That's true. So when we were young, everyone said we couldn't pick urine beads to play with. But even though we said this, everyone still often picked them to play with."

Mu Qingye and the other girls nodded.

But why are there such strange rumors?

"Maybe the adults were afraid that it would be dangerous for children to pick urine beads, because urine beads often grow in dangerous places such as water, so they made up lies like that to scare children, and then it slowly spread.

"Li You said again.

So that’s it.

Mu Qingye and the other girls all nodded, it was indeed possible.

"By the way, does this urine drop have a scientific name?" Mu Qingye asked again.

"Yes, it's called Coix." Li You said.

"Coix?" Mu Qingye and the other girls were slightly startled, "This name is so familiar!"

Li You smiled and said: "You should be familiar with barley, or barley, right?"

"Yes, yes, it's barley. Barley and barley should be the same thing, right?" Mu Qingye said.

Li You nodded, "It's indeed the same thing."

"Then are they related to Coix?"

"Of course there is! Peel off the outer shell of the barley, and the kernel inside is barley, or barley."

Mu Qingye and the other girls were stunned by these words.

Because according to Li You, isn't barley just what you get from peeling off the shells of these beads?

This is really something I never expected.

"No." Li You smiled and said, "These urine beads are wild coix. Although they are both called coix and cultivated coix, they belong to different species. Only the fruit seeds of cultivated coix are called coix. And the fruits of wild coix are called coix.

The seeds, which are obtained by peeling off the urine beads, are not called barley. Of course, they have similar effects to barley, but the effect is much worse."

So that’s it.

Mu Qingye and the other girls nodded.

But despite this, it can be said that this urine bead is not simple.

Li You said: "It's not just urine beads. In the countryside or in the mountains, there are many inconspicuous weeds or plants. In fact, they are not simple."

Mu Qingye and the other girls nodded again, they completely agreed with this.

Xia Xiaoyue said happily at this time: "It turns out that these urine beads have such a relationship with barley. I didn't know it before. There are indeed treasures everywhere in our countryside."

Li You fully agrees with Xia Xiaoyue's words.

At this time, it is already getting late.
