Chapter 114: Catching Pheasants and Rabbits
Finding a rabbit's nest is an experience, and it can only be found by the old man Qian. There are no caves in sight on the snowy mountains, but it is easier to find than if it does not snow, mainly because there are traces of rabbits running through the snow, and you can find the rabbit holes as long as you follow the map.
Old man Qian found a cave in the place where all the footprints gathered, signaled everyone to be cautious, put a few sets at the entrance of the cave, and let one person stand here and guard, so he didn't make any more moves, but continued to search not far away, so he found two more holes, and also placed a few sets, so that one person stood next to him and watched. After three holes, I stopped looking.
Fan Ming followed Zhang Taiping and found a place with messy footprints, and sure enough, there was another hole, and he whispered excitedly to Old Man Qian: "Uncle Qian, come here, there is also a hole here, let's set it up here." ”
Old man Qian came over to look at the hole, smiled but didn't move, and said, "I won't do it here." ”
"Why?" Fan Ming didn't understand why the other caves were under this hole.
"Although it is said that the rabbit is cunning and the three cellars, no matter how cunning the rabbit is, it is not as cunning as a good hunter, but things can't be done too much, and there is to leave some way to live. If they all put on the sleeve and kill the rabbits in one net, then the rabbits would have been extinct long ago, and they would not be able to leave them for future generations. So there is an unwritten rule in this line that digging holes is only arranged on a maximum of three mouths, and the rest does not matter, and it depends on the will of God how much you can catch. ”
Fan Ming seems to understand whether he understands or not, but Zhang Taiping understands this approach, which can be regarded as a way of sustainable development.
After arranging the three holes, Old Man Qian asked a few people to call his dog to bark a few times at the entrance of a hole. Originally, it was best to use damp firewood to ignite at the entrance of the cave and vomit smoke and blow it in, but now there is any firewood that can be lit all over the ground, so you can only let the big dog lie at the entrance of the cave and bark, and the effect will definitely not be as good as smoke.
The rabbit in the hole heard the barking outside the hole and was frightened, so it naturally ran away from the barking hole.
In total, two rabbits rushed out of these three holes, immediately being lassoed, and also struggling tighter. Obviously, three in the "Three Cellars of the Cunning Rabbit" is a false word, and the exits of the underground caves are far more than three or four, and two more escaped from the other caves and flew away to escape, and the four dogs immediately spread their feet and chased out. The snow on the ground is so thick that it is deeper than a rabbit's legs, so it is difficult for a rabbit to run, and every time it lands, it will sink most of its body into the snow and then jump high and struggle to continue to escape, as if it has a spring installed on its legs, and it jumps forward and jumps. Relatively speaking, dogs have an advantage in the length of their legs, and snow has an effect, but not as much as rabbits.
The four dogs chased after them, and a snow mist rose behind them, glowing in the sunlight. The lion did not chase the same one as Ah Huang, and the other two dogs did not dare to compete with the lion, so Ah Huang chased one alone, and the other three dogs chased the other. After a while, the four dogs returned, Ah Huang had a rabbit in his mouth, and Wang Lao Gun's thin dog also had one in his mouth. The lion is still too young, this can be regarded as its first battle, it has no experience, and it is not strange that it is not caught, and Wang Gui's little black dog legs are shorter and do not have an advantage in the snow, purely playing soy sauce.
The two untied ones, plus the two caught by the two dogs, make a total of six. Old man Qian said: "Okay, that's all for today, it's enough to stop." ”
When Zhang Taiping turned to leave, he saw a palm-sized rabbit poking its head timidly out of the hole next to the hole where he was standing. The little rabbit couldn't break free by Zhang Taiping's ears, so he gave up struggling, but his big red eyes were full of horror. Zhang Taiping put the little rabbit on the palm of his hand, it also felt that this person had no ill will towards him, and there was a good smell on his body, which was on Zhang Taiping's hand, stretched out his tongue and licked the palm.
This scene was really seen by Fan Ming, who turned around, and screamed: "What a cute little rabbit!" Ran over and asked Zhang Taiping to pass the little rabbit and carefully put it in the palm of his hand, as if looking at a peerless treasure.
The little rabbit shrunk back and was full of horror, which aroused Fan Ming's sympathy even more: "What a poor little rabbit, there is no mother anymore." As he spoke, he pressed his furry body to his face.
Old man Qian also saw the little rabbit held in the palm of Fan Ming's hand and said, "This rabbit is still too small, let's release it." I don't know if I can survive in the winter at such a young age. ”
Wang Peng didn't dare to say anything stupid about what he caught and ate this time, such a small rabbit didn't have a few taels of meat, if he did, he wouldn't be able to say that it would attract some preaching from the old man Qian.
Fan Ming was even more reluctant to put the little rabbit down after listening to Old Man Qian's words: "In this winter, it will definitely not survive if it is so small, how pitiful, I will take it back and raise it." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Taiping pitifully.
Zhang Taiping didn't have any objection to this, and nodded as a response. Anyway, this is a guest at Zhang Taiping's house, Zhang Taiping agreed, and others didn't say anything, so when he went back, Fan Ming had an extra white and fluffy rabbit in his hand. The parents of this little rabbit are all brothers and sisters, and they are all gray, only it is white, and it is also an anomaly, and it looks quite spiritual.
At the entrance of the village, Fan Ming and the two of them had to go with a group of men, and they must be drinking next, and it would be difficult for a woman to be in the middle anymore, and now she is full of the little rabbit in her palm, and she is going to the house with her line like water. Old man Qian asked her to bring back a rabbit and a pheasant, and Zhang Taiping asked her to go back and tell Cai Yazhi that she would not go to dinner.
After beating so much game, it was time to find a place to deal with it and sit down and drink two glasses, and the location was chosen at Wang Gui's house, that is, the village chief's house.
The old village chief and the aunt at home were very hospitable, and they were very happy to see so many chickens and rabbits. The village chief went out again and called a few people in the village who were close to each other and had a good relationship, and there were more than a dozen people in a room.
The old lady called a few women to help, but when dealing with the hidden fur of these chickens and rabbits, it was the hand of the old man Qian, he had slaughtered a lot of animals in his life, and he saw a piece of knife flying up and down in his hand, and he cleaned up all the things in a short time, and then washed his hands and handed them to the women in the kitchen, and returned to the house to chat with everyone.
Zhang Taiping gave everyone in the room a Chinese one, and he also lit one himself, sat on the edge of the kang and swallowed the clouds and spit it out.
Wang Laogun put China on his nose and sniffed: "Dashuai, this cigarette is Chinese, or soft, good smoke is different, and it is comfortable to smell." After taking a sip of his lungs, he spit it out and said, "It's strong, it's not choking." Expensive cigarettes are just good. ”
Except for a few people who smoked dry tobacco, they were now smoking the soft China sent by Zhang Taiping, and they also echoed the voice. In the village, good cigarettes of this grade like soft China are still rare, and in the past few years, everyone smoked the Monkey King, commonly known as the "thief version" or "Monkey on the tree", which has not been in recent years, and it is the Monkey King who has changed its packaging. Some people simply think that smoking paper cigarettes is too expensive to smoke dry tobacco, and there are not a few people who smoke dry tobacco here around the age of 40.
A group of big men are indispensable to have some meat jokes together, but no one dares to make such a joke with Zhang Taiping, Zhang Taiping saw that there was no fire on him, so he sat on the edge of the kang and smoked and listened to the idle chatter of a few old men.
After talking for a while, it will pull to see who has made money in the past two years, and who has been unlucky again. Speaking of making money, everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Taiping.
The village chief understood everyone's intentions, stood up and said to Zhang Taiping: "Dashuai, you can give everyone a few ways to make money." Let everyone get rich too. In terms of policy, it is not to say: let some people get rich first, and then drive the broad masses of people to common prosperity. Now you are a veritable million-dollar household in our village, the richest man in the world, and it is time to lead everyone to become rich. ”
Zhang Taiping is not disgusted by the village chief's high hat and big hat, and he also spares no effort to do a good job in the village, stimulating the villagers at every opportunity, and looking for opportunities to mobilize everyone's positive surname. The word "million" was pronounced very loudly, and there was a deafening feeling when it stopped in everyone's ears.
Zhang Taiping did not shirk it, although his success belongs to the kind that cannot be replicated, and there is nothing to talk about, but some other thoughts in his heart can indeed be said. He still insists that the village can grow more fruit trees: "Fruit is a good way." Crops per acre of land are at most 2,000 yuan a year, fruit trees can exceed 5,000 yuan if they use a little snack, and a family can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year if they plant a few acres. It's not that crops can't be planted, but it's okay to plant enough to eat, and if you plant too much, you still have to sell them, and it takes time and effort to clean up the crops, and you can't sell them for a few dollars, so it's really not necessary to plant so much. ”
Looking at the thoughtful expressions of some of the people, Zhang Taiping continued: "I still have an idea, I want to set up a farmhouse in the village to attract people from the city to come to the village to play. Well, these flowers can be brought to other people as well. ”
Some people in the crowd had heard Zhang Taiping's theory, but some people had heard of it for the first time, but this time they didn't speak again, thinking about it.
Wang Laogun had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, he came out to liven up the atmosphere, and everyone put this matter down for the time being and chatted about some other things.
