Li Xin rubbed the hemp rope and ran to cut some branches thicker than his thumb.

Find a branch in the shape of a "7", the thick branch of the "7" shape is left 10 inches, and the bottom is flattened; The thin branch is left 5 inches at the root, and the two sides of the head are thinned into a "1" shape; The tail of the branch crossing is cut to 90 degrees, and the main body of the organ is done.

Then find a straight branch about 7 inches long and break it into 2 halves, dig a small groove of "ˇ" type on the convex bark surface of the tree at 5 inches, tie hemp rope at the end of the branch with a small groove length, leave 5 inches of hemp rope, and tie a short small branch at the end.

Then find a bamboo stick and make it about 20 inches long, 1 inch wide, with one tip and one flat end. I found a stone slab that was more than 30 inches long and had a smooth side.

The tools of the "gate" were ready, and it took a cup of tea. Li Xin touched the sweat on his forehead, the stone was really heavy, and he was tired after only moving more than 20 meters, and he had to exercise more.

Xiaoli has been sitting there, watching Li Xin run up and down, making tools to catch hares, supporting her calves with her hands on her calves, supporting her cheeks, and she can see her mind in a daze.

Li Xin let the smooth part of the stone come into contact with the ground, so that the ground and the slate are tightly fitted, then remove the slate, press the "gate", the flat end of the bamboo stick is fixed with a small branch at the end of the hemp rope in the "1" shape, and the pointed end stretches out under the slate. The stone touched the ground at one end and gently pressed against the "gate" at the other. This "gate" is considered to be installed.

He took another branch and stretched it out under the stone to touch the stick. The "gate" did not respond, stood still, and touched it harder, but there was still no response. This is the "gate" that is too old to trigger the mechanism.

Li Xin reduced the contact part between the bamboo skewer and the "1" shape. After testing it again, the branch touched the tip of the bamboo stick slightly, and the mechanism was triggered, and the stone fell to the ground in response.

In this test, Li Xin was very satisfied, took out the baked cake, broke a piece, and put it on the tip of a bamboo skewer as a "bait".

The next set is simple, the hemp rope is tied to a small tree at one end, and a looper is played at the other end, a palm-sized circle is left in the middle of the looper, and some grass is used to tiptoe up under the hemp rope, and some baked cakes are placed in the middle of the circle, and the next set of work is completed.

Li Xin patted the mud on his hands and kicked it: "It's done." ”

"Then we've got a hare to eat?"

"I don't know yet."

"Okay, okay, Brother Xin is so smart and powerful, he can definitely catch a hare. Hee-hee-hee...... "Xiaoli clapped her hands happily when she thought of having a hare to eat.

"Brother Xin, who taught you this? Is it Uncle Nine? ”

"It's not." Uncle Nine has martial arts, and he definitely can't look down on these pediatric techniques. If he wants to, he can kill the tiger. Besides, he doesn't necessarily understand it yet. After all, it's a technical job.

"Who taught that?" Xiaoli got to the bottom of it.

"Haha, no one teaches, you believe in my brother, I am extremely smart, I think for myself." Li Xin can only say what he thinks, and it is impossible to tell him that he learned before traveling. It's better not to let people know about the crossing, Su Qi is the closest person now, and he just said that he had a dream.

"When you say that, I'm a little worried about whether I can catch a hare." Xiaoli tilted her head to look at Li Xin.

"You don't believe me?"

"I believe it."

"And what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried I won't be able to catch a hare."

……

The two were gossiping, Xiaoli kept looking at the "gate" with a pair of big eyes, thinking that it was very novel and interesting, talking in her mouth, her eyes were staring like that, and she was thinking about the scene of eating a hare.

"After waiting for so long, Brother Xin, why didn't the hare come yet?" Xiaoli couldn't help but ask, and swallowed her saliva after speaking.

"Stupid, we are here, how did the hare come? We won't see the results until tomorrow. "Li Xin secretly slandered, he is really a standard foodie.

"Oh, got it. But, Brother Xin, I don't think you're right. Xiaoli was not convinced.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoli is not stupid, she is still young, don't you keep saying that I am small? Because I'm small, I don't understand, how can I be called stupid? Brother Xin, although you are smart, it doesn't mean I'm stupid, does it? Xiaoli argued seriously.

"......" Li Xin was speechless again, thinking that the hare did not come to eat the bait when he saw people, which was not right. As a result, her focus shifted to the question of whether she was stupid or not. Seeing Xiaoli looking at herself seriously, she said a little against her will: "Well, Xiaoli is not stupid at all, I was wrong." ”

"Well, hee-hee...... You were wrong. Xiaoli smiled happily and said, "The hare can really only be caught tomorrow?" ”

“……”

The sun began to turn west, and the old ox lay in the grass, flicking its tail, and snorting from time to time, as if it was full.

Li Xin looked at the sky, and it looked like it was 4 o'clock.

Xiaoli will laugh, cry, be excited, and talk a lot today. Now I look a little sluggish, and I look tired.

"Let's go home." Li Xin stood up and said to Xiaoli.

"Can you catch a rabbit tomorrow?" Xiaoli asked again.

"We'll find out tomorrow."

"Oh......" Xiaoli was not satisfied with Li Xin's answer, but there was no way, she could only talk about it tomorrow.

Xiaoli jumped in front, Li Xin led the old scalper to walk behind, and from time to time grabbed Xiaoli's clothes and asked her not to fall. Xiaoli said as she walked: "It's okay, it's okay, I won't fall, even if I fall, I won't cry, I'm stronger than Xiaopeng......"

"Qi Niang, Qi Niang, we're back!" Xiaoli began to shout from afar outside the house.

Su Qi came out when he heard the sound, saw Xiaoli running over, and said with a smile: "Xiaoli, run slowly." ”

Xiaoli grinned, ran to Su Qi's side, grabbed the corner of Su Qi's clothes, and said impatiently: "Qi Niang, it's fun on the mountain." ”

"Is it fun?"

"Well, it's fun. Qi Niang told you, Brother Xin pressed the gate and caught the hare at night. Brother Xin is amazing. ”

"Catch a hare?" Su Qileng paused for a moment and looked at Li Xin, who was coming over with a cow.

Li Xin saw Su Qi looking at him with questioning eyes, he smiled, spread his hands, and acquiesced.

"Hehe, tell Qi Niang, how to press the brake?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, Brother Xin cut down the branches...... Xiao Li began to talk about the process of Li Xin's preparation for the "gate".

"At first, I thought that Uncle Nine taught him, but he said no, he came up with it himself."

At this time, Li Xin had already bolted up the old scalper and walked over.

"Xin'er, did you think of it yourself?" Su Qi asked.

"Hehe, last time I dreamed, I dreamed of it. Mother, did you forget? ”

"Oh!" Su Qi was not surprised when he thought of the last time Li Xin met the immortals.

"Dream, Brother Xin, didn't you say that just now, you said you thought it yourself?" Xiaoli heard that Li Xin's words were wrong.

"It's not very complete to dream that others have done this, some of them are my own thoughts."

"Oh. You're still amazing. Xiaoli thought for a moment before saying.

"Mother, I'll send Xiaoli home first." Li Xin was bored by Xiaoli's talk today, wanted to calm down, and offered to send Xiaoli home.

Xiaoli's eyes were sharp, she saw that Su Qi had oil on her hands, and she also saw a piece of meat in the kitchen, it should be that Su Qi was washing meat just now, thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "Qi Niang, will I eat at your house at night?" I'll go back after eating. ”

Su Qi also likes Xiaoli very much, and has always wanted to have such a daughter, and when he heard Xiaoli make this request, of course he couldn't refuse: "Okay, let's eat meat at night, you eat more." ”

"Ah, there's meat to eat, good, good, good...... My favorite meat is my favorite. Xiaoli said happily.

Li Xin can only despise one thing: foodie. Now that I can eat it so much, how did I get it when I grew up?

"Xin'er, you go to Uncle Li's house to tell them, and say that Xiaoli will send her back after eating." Su Qi instructed Li Xin.

"Okay, mother." Li Xin went to Aunt Xiaoli's house to report the news.

"Brother Xin, come back quickly, let's help Qi Niang wash the vegetables." Xiaoli stood at the door of the house and shouted loudly at Li Xin's back.

"Xiaoli is really sensible." Su Qi touched Xiaoli's head and praised.

Li Xin couldn't help but save that the mouth of a foodie is sweet, and it will really be likable.

……

In this era, the means of cooking were very scarce, and there were basically only three ways: steaming, boiling, and baking.

Generally at home, it is mainly steamed and boiled, and in winter, in order to avoid the cold, a fire will be lit in the house, and things will be baked by the way. It's March now, and it's not very cold.

Therefore, Li Xin's dinner table was all boiled and steamed. Because there was one more guest, Su Qi specially added a dish today - boiled peas.

"Go and call Uncle Nine over for dinner." Li Xin reported that when he came back, Su Qi commanded again.

"Okay." Li Xin hurriedly ran to find Uncle Nine. When Uncle Nine comes, he will be able to eat. He was already hungry, but when he smelled the meat, he was even hungrier, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach in protest.

After a while, when Uncle Nine came, the dishes were already on the table. Xiaoli held chopsticks, stood at the table, and watched the wild boar drool.

"Uncle Nine." Xiaoli saw Uncle Nine coming in, so she looked away and shouted sweetly.

"Xiaoli is also there." It's rare to see a smile on Cui Jiu's face, everyone likes little girls. The scar on Cui Jiu's face ruined his smile, and it looked a little hideous, and Xiaoli was no longer surprised.

A pot of stewed wild boar meat with spring shoots, celery and pickles. A bowl of boiled peas. A bowl of steamed eggs. A bowl of boiled potato chips.

Li Xin said secretly: "It's rare to be so rich, it's time for the New Year." Four dishes and another soup, which is equivalent to the treatment of cadres going to the countryside. ”

"Brother Jiu, sit down, eat." Su Qi came out to greet him.

"Okay." Xiaoli hurriedly sat down, looked at Su Qi and Cui Jiu, and under their smiles, she stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of meat.

When Li Xin was about to slander a snack again.

Xiaoli put the meat in Su Qi's bowl: "Qi Niang, you eat first." ”

Su Qi smiled sweetly: "Xiaoli is really sensible. Glancing at Li Xin, it means, the kid learns a little.

Li Xinyao Yaotou is only 5 years old, and her EQ is so high......

Xiaoli sandwiched another piece into Cui Jiu and Li Xin's bowls, and couldn't wait to eat it.

The room was full of laughter and laughter. The serious Cui Jiu couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth in this atmosphere.
