Chapter 348: Duck Hunting

"Boss, if you agree. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Five Eyes rubbed his hands: "Then I'll catch it." ”

"Wait. Liu Mang stopped him: "You just caught it empty-handed?"

"That's right. Five-Eyes nodded: "There are so many wild ducks here, make some grass to make a hat to hide in the grass, then you can't catch one at a time?"

"Okay, then you can catch it. Liu Mang smiled and didn't speak again.

"Just wait for my good news. The five-eyed cat leaned into the grass.

Liu Mang shook his head, walked to a large bush of artemisia grass, cut a bundle with a dagger, and then peeled out the softest and toughest core of the artemisia grass with his hands.

Probably stripped dozens of roots, Liu Mang twisted the two cores of artemisia grass together, like braids, and braided them into a thin rope. Finally, all the strings are connected to form a long, pencil-thick rope.

"Well, yes, it's not as strong as the line, but it's more than enough to deal with a mallard. Liu Mang pulled it with his hand, very satisfied with his work.

"Bang", when Liu Mang's rope was weaved, he came back from the grass with his eyes parted, and his face was depressed.

"What's wrong, where's the duck?" asked Liu Mang with a smile.

"Don't mention it! The ducks here are very nimble, and they are squatting not far from you, but they are all flying. ”

"You...... It's up to me!" Liu Mang stood up and shook the straw rope in his hand.

"It turns out that you have been prepared, boss. Five-eyes scratched his head: "Are you going to make a condom?"

"We can catch a condom, but we have limited time, so how many condoms do we have to make to fit a duck. Don't forget, we're here to find food. ”

"How's that going?"

"Aren't there a lot of small ditches in the meadow, you go and help me touch the grass in the ditch to see if there are any snails." ”

"Snails?" The five eyes were a little strange, but they still did as Liu Mang ordered.

After Wuyan left, Liu Mang walked to the edge of the grass again, cut off a large handful of artemisia grass to make something like a wreath, and put it on his head.

After a while, Five Eyes came out of the grass, holding a large pile of green-skinned snails in his hands: "Boss, have you seen enough?"

"Enough, a few are enough. Liu Mang rummaged through the snails brought back by Wuyan, picked out the big ones, and then used a dagger to pick out the snail meat in the snail shell.

"Boss, you're going to use snails as bait, aren't you?"

"That's right. Liu Mang nodded: "The wild duck here is not particularly afraid of people, and it can't fly at all when it is more than ten meters away, so I have to catch it with a rope." ”

"Duck fishing, that's fresh!"

"Just look at it. Liu Mang drilled a small hole in the middle of the snail meat with a dagger, threaded it through it with a straw rope, and then tied a half-inch-long reed, twisted it into a U-shape, and finally tied a dead knot.

"Follow me. Liu Mang greeted and went into the grass.

The reason why there are many wild ducks and geese in the meadow is because there are many small ditches here. These ditches are not deep, the water is clear, and many fish can be seen swimming in them.

Liu Mang and Wuyan touched it step by step, and slowly approached a flock of wild ducks on a tidal flat.

"Look, Boss!" said softly, pointing to a flock of gray-feathered mallards in the open space in front of him, as he opened the grass in front of him.

They didn't know that someone was eyeing them, pecking at each other's feathers and playing with each other.

"Smack!" With a soft sound, Liu Mang threw out the straw rope tied to the snail meat far away.

The screw meat fell to the clearing, startling the ducks. Quite a few wild ducks quacked, kept looking around, ready to fly away at any time.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, the duck flock quieted down again, and a huge mallard duck was attracted by the screw meat on the ground and looked sideways.

Liu Mang held his breath and gently pulled the rope. The snail meat at the end of the rope shook on the ground with this pull.

The wild duck fluttered its wings and rushed up, pecked at the snail meat in one bite, and tilted its neck to swallow it.

"It's now!" Liu Mang was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled the straw rope back with a force in his hand.

Under the action of this force, the U-shaped reed tied to the snail meat immediately straightened into a straight line, which just stuck in the throat of the wild duck.

The wild duck struggled desperately, flapping its wings and trying to fly, but the grass rope woven by Liu Mang was still very strong and could not break free at all.

The rest of the ducks were so frightened by this movement that they could not care about their companions, and immediately spread their wings and flew away.

"Quick, don't let it run!" Liu Mang shouted, and Wuyan immediately rushed out, holding down the wild duck, twisting its wings and lifting it up.

"Haha, boss, it's really you! I didn't expect a duck to catch it like this!"

"Have you ever seen those country ruffians stealing chickens? The fishing line is tied to broad beans, and the chicken immediately pulls it as soon as it pecks, so that it can jam the chicken's throat and make it unable to scream, and steal it quietly. ”

"Boss, how do you know?"

"It's good to read a book. Liu Mang replied.

In fact, the source and use of this method come from the second volume of the "Food Treasures".

Originally, this method was used to catch swans, and the habits of ducks and swans were similar, so Liu Mang used it, and it was really easy to use.

"It's still a little small, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat. Five-Eyes took the duck in his hand and said, "Why don't we catch another one." ”

This wild duck looks very big, but after removing the hair and internal organs, there are about two catties of net meat left, which can't satisfy the appetite of the big-bellied Arhat of Five Eyes.

"Okay, then catch another one. But the ducks scared away, and we had to change places. Liu Mang pinched the neck of the wild duck and took out the snail meat.

It took about half an hour for Liu Mang and Five Eyes to find another group of wild ducks. Catch one in the same way, then head back down the hill where you first set off, ready to start cooking.

"Little Wu, you go and slaughter the ducks and remove their hair, and I'll raise the fire. ”

"Howler. Five-Eyes answered, and walked towards the ditch on the other side of the grass with the two wild ducks.

Liu Mang first dug a hole in the ground with a dagger, then walked to the grass and tore off a large handful of dry grass and dry branches.

"Is it called a flower duck or a roast duck?" Liu Mang, who raised the fire, hesitated: "Forget it, let's make roast duck." The fishy smell of wild duck is very strong, and now there is no condiment to remove the fish, if it is used to make a flower duck, the taste is not as good as the roast duck. ”

The fire rises, and Five Eyes returns after dealing with the two mallards.

Liu Mang took the wild duck in his hand, skewered the two wild ducks with a long wooden stick, and put them on the fire to barbecue.
