Chapter 49: Playing with a Slingshot
Leaving Liu Xianghong's house, Wang Xiaoqiang had a plan to raise pheasants, wild pheasants are not only delicious, but also have good egg flavor, the key is that the nutritional value of eggs and meat is very high, there is quality assurance, and the price and sales are definitely not a problem.
According to Wang Xiaoqiang's idea is to contract down Mantou Mountain, build a chicken farm on it, and adopt the strategy of local stocking, wild pheasants usually live on insects and grass seeds on the mountain, and feed some sorghum in moderation, so that the meat and eggs can still remain in a pure natural state.
Of course, this is just an idea, Wang Xiaoqiang decided to start slowly, first catch a few wild pheasants and try to feed.
Since he wanted to catch pheasants alive, the shotgun would not be useful, so Wang Xiaoqiang put the shotgun back in the old village committee building and hid it, and set out to make a slingshot.
The slingshot is too familiar to Wang Xiaoqiang, he grew up playing with this when he was a child, first climbed to the willow tree to find a Y-shaped willow branch with the thickness of an adult's finger as a bow frame, and then bought a strong flat rubber band as a bullet tendon, and then cut a small piece of oval shape into a small oval shape with scissors on the semi-soft upper of the old sneakers that he did not wear as a bullet stock, so that he could make a standard slingshot, with a slingshot, and then buy some steel balls as bullets.
After the slingshot was made and the marbles were bought, Wang Xiaoqiang rummaged through a small half bag of cornmeal from home, mixed it with white wine, and sprinkled it in the open space between Mantou Mountain and Yam Field in the evening. They are cornmeal mixed with wine.
Just see someone passing, they will beat the spirit, fluttering wings towards the Mantou Mountain, but before they can run far, a person and a dog pounced, and soon held them down one by one, and finally there is a "drunk" lighter, fluttering and flying, towards the Mantou Mountain, Wang Xiaoqiang held the slingshot, loaded with steel balls and aimed to shoot.
I have to say that Wang Xiaoqiang's slingshot was not played in vain when he was a child, and the accurate head was still quite in place, but the shortcomings of the slingshot were revealed under a shot, and the steel ball suddenly floated up when it was about to shoot to the remaining five or six meters of the pheasant, so that it deviated from the original trajectory and missed, and finally the marble grazed the pheasant's long tail and shot through, without causing harm to the pheasant.
The pheasant does not fly high, and it does not fly far, and it will fall when it flies to about thirty meters after a takeoff.
After missing a shot, Wang Xiaoqiang did not give up, ran and chased, and while chasing, he took out a steel ball in his pocket and put it into the butt, when aiming, suddenly his mind flashed, pinched the thumb of the right hand on the butt, and the white light flashed at the fingertips, and a little gold aura was entered into the steel ball.
Then, only aim for launch.
Shout!
This time, the steel ball that was shot out was fast and fierce, and it made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, although the distance of this shot was even farther than the last time, but it did not float in the middle of the way, and shot straight at the tail end of the pheasant.
The pheasant screamed and fell.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the pheasant in the distance, and was a little surprised, this golden aura is still so wonderful, it seems that this slingshot will be able to be used as a sidearm in the future, if anyone provokes me, a slingshot can make his head bleed.
The old yellow dog chased after the pheasant and put it in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, Wang Xiaoqiang came back to his senses, and when he looked down, he found that the steel ball had sunk deep into the pheasant's buttocks, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
Fortunately, the injury was not critical, and the pheasant had not died. Wang Xiaoqiang lifted it up, originally wanted to use the wood aura to heal it, but he abandoned this idea, he planned to use this pheasant to open foreign meat.
Five drunk pheasants were kept in captivity in the old village committee compound after cutting their wings with scissors, and the injured pheasants were taken home for her sister-in-law Liu Juyi to cook.
This pheasant weighs not lightly, almost 20 catties, Liu Juyi boiled hot water to remove the hair, and then took the five internal organs and intestines in the belly, washed it and made a chicken soup, and made a large plate of chicken with chicken racks and chicken legs.
The large plate chicken is very famous in the local area, and it is sold in all major restaurants, but the large plate chicken in the restaurant is taken from the ordinary domestic chicken, and it is the chicken fed out of the chicken farm with feed, the meat is fat but not delicious, and the fat is wrapped in a thick layer of butter outside, whether it is to make soup or vegetables are too greasy, resulting in a bad taste.
The large plate of chicken made by wild pheasant is different, the meat is delicious, fat but not ashamed, fragrant but not greasy, coupled with Liu Juyi's awesome craftsmanship, it is really a delicacy in the world.
Wang Xiaoqiang ate heartily at this meal, and it was already dusk at the end of the meal, his mother brought out a bowl of chicken from the pot, put it in the basket, and said to Wang Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, Dr. Xu from the health station is sick, you bring this bowl of chicken over to take a look, a foreign girl, life is not easy, and now she is sick again, and there is no one to take care of her......"
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't answer the basket, and said a little unnaturally: "Mom, it's more appropriate for you to do this, right?!"
"It's getting dark, mom's legs are not good, let's go!" The mother said, "Otherwise, you will go with your mother." ”
Wang Xiaoqiang took the basket and said: "Then I'll go! ”
"That's right, let's go!" said the mother.
Liu Juyi, the sister-in-law on the side, was a little unhappy, with a lost expression.
Zheng Dazui came during the day, and the purpose was to probe the tone of the second elder of the Wang family to see if she liked Xu Xiaoya, a girl in the city, if not, she would introduce Xia Guifang to Wang Xiaoqiang, because she felt that these two children were also very compatible, and Xia Sanwa had seen the world and urged her to be a matchmaker in the past few days.
The last time at the health station, although Xia Sanwa said that he wanted to talk to his daughter as a matchmaker, he still couldn't save face after all, he was a big gambler with a very bad reputation in the village, he was afraid that he would be suffocated in the Wang family, and he had just been urging his daughter to take the initiative to chase Wang Xiaoqiang in the past few months, but Xia Guifang was thin-skinned, the more Xia Sanwa urged, the more Xia Guifang did not take the initiative, and in desperation, Xia Sanwa had to beg Zheng Dazui again.
The second elder of the Wang family is old, and he has no knowledge, and his concept is outdated, of course they like the city girl Xu Xiaoya more, Xu Xiaoya is not only beautiful, but also very sensible, of course, these conditions Xia Guifang is also available, the key is that people are from the city, they are knowledgeable and temperamental, according to the meaning of the second elder of the Wang family, if they can marry a daughter-in-law in the city, it is a glorious lintel, and the ancestral tomb is going to smoke.
They decided to urge Wang Xiaoqiang, hoping that he would take the initiative with Xu Xiaoya.
Wang Xiaoqiang still didn't understand what his mother meant, but he didn't think about getting married now, he was now bent on developing his career and making a lot of money, although he was a little reluctant, but he still promised to send chicken to Xu Xiaoya,
He also felt that Xu Xiaoya, a girl from the city, went to Sanmiao Village to serve the whole village, tired and lonely, quite pitiful, and now that people are sick, they should be cared for and taken care of.
It's just that when Wang Xiaoqiang had just passed by the door of the Dazui supermarket with the basket, Xia Sanwa, who was pestering Wang Dazui to talk to his daughter, saw it at a glance, and pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang with some surprise and asked Zheng Dazui: "Dazui, why is it so late, who is Wang Xiaoqiang going to deliver food to when he brings a rice basket?"
Zheng Dazui looked at Wang Xiaoqiang's figure in the distance, and said, "It must be for Dr. Xu'......"
"This, how can these two people still be connected, big mouth, isn't this sign right!?" Xia Sanwa said angrily and worriedly.
"Isn't he your uncle, can you go and ask yourself?" Zheng Da glanced at Xia Sanwa, Xia Sanwa has been pestering her to match Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang in the past few days, but she feels that if Wang Xiaoqiang can marry Xu Xiaoya, he will still have more face, and even bring her as a matchmaker.
Zheng Dazui mentioned this, Xia Sanwa was actually very good, and chased Wang Xiaoqiang without shame, shouting while chasing: "Hey, Xiaoqiang, hey, uncle......"
