Zeng Wei was picking up photos in the study, and the third cousin's broken gong voice came from outside the courtyard: "Everyone come out and pick up something!"

Zeng Wei put down the digital camera, opened the door and ran out, only to find that the third cousin and the second aunt's cousin Yan Yi had come back with a lot of things.

Zeng Wei was startled and asked, "Why are there so many pheasants and rabbits?!"

Zeng Youfa and Yan Yi each carried a dozen pheasants and a dozen rabbits, and they all seemed to be dead.

"I'm tired, this snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road is not easy to walk!" Zeng Youfa put the pick on the corridor, panting and said, "They were all picked up on the side of Dacanggou, and there are still a lot of them that have not been brought back, this snow fell too suddenly, and many pheasants froze to death!"

Dacanggou is the only way for the village to enter the mountains, and the land there is very fertile black soil, and Zeng Wei's family has also been allocated three acres of land there. Because now the family has built a pig farm, and radishes are planted in the fields in winter.

This is not only done by Zeng Wei's family, but also by other villagers. Pig farms need a lot of food, and the radish with a high yield is undoubtedly the best sowing product in autumn and winter.

Now it is the middle of winter, there is a lack of food in the mountains, and the hares and other animals in the mountains are out of the mountains to feed, so the village sends people to guard there every day, just to prevent the animals in the mountains from going out on a large scale to harm the radishes in the field.

But during the Chinese New Year, the snow in the mountains is closed, and there is no food in the mountains at all, and under the pressure of survival, the hares and pheasants can't take care of a lot, and they go out to the mountains to forage for food. But I didn't want heavy snow to fall outside the mountain, and I was directly frozen to death.

Yan Yi patted off the snow particles on his body and said: "Sanmao, you don't know, we found more than a dozen pheasants in just a snow nest, just reach out and fish!

Cousin Zeng Youqin hurriedly prepared hot soup and food for the two, such a cold day, the snow was so heavy, and they had to work outside, but they were offended.

"Eldest sister, I want ginger soup, I have already eaten it on the farm just now!" Zeng Youfa hurriedly shouted as soon as he saw the lobby sister enter the kitchen.

After a short rest, Zeng Wei set off with Zeng Youfa and Yan Yi, as well as his father Zeng Chuipu and his lobby brother Zeng You? F also went along. I heard that more than 100 pheasants were picked up over there and more than 50 hares were caught, and Zeng You really couldn't get them back just by sending the two of them.

………………

The sky was getting darker and darker, coupled with the heavy snow, Zeng Wei only felt that his vision was getting worse and worse, but fortunately, they only needed to move along the road.

Walking on the road, the trees along the way are covered with thick snow, and even turned into ice ridges in some places, and the ground is also white, and those lush radishes are hard to find.

A few people walked about a kilometer and went deep into the hinterland of Dacanggou, and Zeng Wei, who was far away, heard the noise, which was very lively.

When I got closer, I saw it, good guys, no wonder it was so lively, it turned out that a large group of half-sized children had found a sheltered cave here, and a barbecue meeting was being held.

These guys are Zeng Wei's cousins and cousins, and of course there are some elders and juniors.

After they washed and peeled the pheasants and rabbits they had harvested today, they roasted them on a charcoal fire. There are potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire, and the rich aroma fills the cave, so you can enjoy it.

Seeing Zeng Wei coming, one of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls hurriedly handed over a pheasant leg and said with a smile: "Xiao Wei, you came just in time, this chicken leg is very big." ”

A few boys next to him coaxed and said, "Xiaomei, you're too partial, Zeng Wei has chicken legs to eat as soon as he comes, and we are all waiting here with our stomachs growling!"

The girl glanced at a few people who were coaxing, and said angrily: "What's wrong with me being biased? You are hungry and don't know how to do it yourself? Don't you bake it yourself? Do you still want to rob me of food?"

This girl is the youngest daughter of Zeng Wei's cousin's family, named Yan Xiaomei, a well-known beauty in the compound, although they all have the same surname, they are still very liked by the boys in the compound.

However, she has had a good relationship with Zeng Wei since she was a child, and the two are real childhood sweethearts, and they are often joked about by the boys and girls in the yard.

This little cousin's grades are very average, Zeng Wei remembers that in her previous life, she didn't even graduate from junior high school, so she went out to work.

She was originally one grade higher than Zeng Wei, but now she is four grades lower than Zeng Wei, and she is studying in the sixth grade at Qili Township Central School, and it seems that she will be promoted to the junior high school of Qili Township Central School at most.

………………

In his previous life, Zeng Wei didn't get together with this little cousin in the end, let alone in this life, and it was even more impossible between the two.

Although this little cousin is a beauty second to none in the compound, in Zeng Wei's opinion, she is very ordinary, at most she is just a small jasper.

So he didn't respond to the ridicule of a group of cousins and cousins, but after thanking Yan Xiaomei, he took the chicken legs. Then he asked, "How many hares and pheasants are there in the field?"

Everyone talked about it, but they only had a rough idea of what was going on in their own fields. After Zeng Wei summarized it, he had an approximate number in his heart, and there were probably hundreds of hare pheasants frozen to death in the entire area.

Zeng Wei couldn't help but have an idea, so he said to them: "Don't patronize and play when you are full, pick up the pheasants and hares that are frozen to death in your own field, send them to my house, and I will pay for them." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and asked about the price.

Zeng Wei thought about it for a while and said, "Two yuan for pheasants and five yuan for hares, the number is not limited." ”

Hearing Zeng Wei's words, a group of half-grown children were suddenly overjoyed, and many of them didn't even care about eating, so they ran out of the cave in a swarm and ran to their own fields to pick up pheasants and hares.

If you pick up all these wild meats and sell them to Zeng Wei, it will also be a lot of income.

In fact, Zeng Wei's idea is very simple, in addition to giving his relatives an income, he is also adding some goods to his own supermarket.

Don't look at these pheasants and hares are not uncommon in the village, but if they really want to be sent to the city, even Jiangzhou, it is a very good commodity. At least, Zeng Wei will not lose money with the money he spends now, and maybe he will make a small profit.

When this group of half-grown children took action, Zeng Wei and his father and his party set out on the way home, and they had already collected all the pheasants and hares that had frozen to death at home.

The father who walked in front of him changed the shoulders of the bamboo basket containing pheasants and hares, and asked a little strangely: "In previous years, it was rare to find so many prey in snow, but this year is really strange!"

Sudden heavy snow will freeze some unprepared pheasants to death, which is a thing that everyone in the mountains knows, but in previous years they could only get a dozen pheasants when they went into the mountains all day after the snow fell. But today, Zeng Chuipu estimated that the number of pheasants he got would not be less than 100, how could he not be surprised?

"Yes, there are too many pheasants and hares in the field, it's just a flood!" Cousin Yan Yi took over and said, "The hare is also a little troublesome, they will dig holes and eat tree roots in the future, which is not good for the crops in the field, and you have to buy more mountain dogs after the beginning of spring." ”

………………

However, Zeng Wei underestimated the cleverness of his relatives, and after learning the news that Zeng Wei was going to buy wild meat, almost all the people in the compound went out.

Some families with hunting dogs, and even hunting dogs, not only picked up frozen pheasants and hares, but also let the hounds hunt those live pheasants and hares.

In the end, several hunters in the compound came over to ask if Zeng Wei would also buy a large game like a wild boar if they hunted it.

Since Zeng Wei had plans to sell game in his own supermarket, he naturally did not refuse, and made it clear that if there was wild boar and muntjac game, he would also buy it at a good price.

When the news came out, the hunters who nested in the winter at home were suddenly excited, and they didn't care about the cold, so they took their hunting rifles and led the hounds into the mountains.

The village is close to the mountains, and there is no large-scale ban on hunting in this era, so there are many hunters in the village.

However, his mother Yan Chengxiu was a little worried about the crowd queuing up to deliver game to her home, and asked Zeng Wei what he meant by doing this.

Zeng Wei naturally gave his thoughts and thoughts, and after Yan Chengxiu heard it, he also felt that this was indeed a way to make money, and he did not object to it, and hired a few women in the village to help clean up the game, and after it was cleaned, it was salted, and then dried to make dry goods.

In this way, the possibility of game meat spoiling for a long time is avoided, and it is more convenient to transport.
