Chapter Forty-Seven: The Snow Hunt Pays Off

The reason for this is simple, there is something wild hiding under the snow, and it is most likely a hare.

Of course, it could also be a weasel, a vole, or something.

Seeing that Rhubarb was about to rush over, Wang Manyin hurriedly scolded. Let the earth dog catch it, and nine times out of ten it will bite the hare to death, then there is no way to raise it.

It's more reliable to capture it yourself.

He dodged into the space, and when he reappeared, he had a huge net pocket in his hand.

This net pocket was specially woven in order to catch fish. The lid of the pot is so big, and there is a circle of willow branches as tendons. Now it is used to catch prey, which is just in handy.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Manyin aimed at the specific direction of the snow cave and suddenly shrouded the big net.

Then, he took a stick and struck the snow on it.

Boom......

When the prey inside was alarmed, it immediately bounced up from the depths of the snow, only to arch its head into the depths of the net, and was firmly held in place by the net cable.

What a hare!

Before this guy could break free, Wang Manyin had already quickly closed the net pocket, dodged into the space, and threw it into a dirt pit.

The pit was also dug at the previous time, one meter wide and more than five meters long, and was specially used for raising hares. As for the source of inspiration, it is a rabbit pit raising video that Wang Manyin saw on the Internet in later generations.

The difference is that people use it to raise rabbits.

However, in Wang Manyin's view, it is also possible to breed hares.

In order to prevent these creatures from escaping out of the pit, he also deliberately reduced the width and increased the depth, and planted a circle of wild roses around the edge of the pit.

This thing is a close relative of the moon flower, and the branches are covered with small thorns, which is a good fence material.

After throwing some grass into the deep pit, Wang Manyin walked out of the space and continued to search with rhubarb.

A man and a dog ran a few hundred meters away in the snow, and soon found a hole in the snow.

Wang Manyin concocted it in the same way, and after finding the right position, the big net pocket was suddenly buckled. As a result, after slapping at the snow, the prey that was not expected came out.

With doubts, Wang Manyin clasped the bottom of the net pocket, and all the snow was pulled away. Only then did it be discovered that there was something else under the snow, a large hole in the mouth of the bowl was revealed, and there were still a few ice bars left on it, the depth of which was unknown.

Judging by the shape of the hole, it is likely that it was left by a weasel.

This thing is no better than a hare, it can really burrow. Generally, the weasel cave can be more than ten meters long, and it takes at least half a day to dig it manually.

It's really not worth it in the winter.

So after Wang Manyin glanced at it twice, he left with rhubarb.

When a man and a dog found the third snow hole, they finally had another harvest.

Wang Manyin did the same, and successfully threw a fat hare into the deep pit.

One male and one female, just keep the pairing.

After looking for the plateau in front of the village, Wang Manyin remembered the crack in the ground where he caught pheasants by the Dongla River last time. In this kind of weather, there is a high probability that there are prey to hide in it to keep warm.

In anticipation, he turned around with the rhubarb.

In this kind of weather, the entire Dongla River has already been completely frozen. There is a thick pile of snow under the cliff, and there is no trace of the river in sight.

Wang Manyin could only grope his way forward, but he never thought that as soon as he walked more than ten meters away, Rhubarb would be discovered.

As he approached the snow hole, he heard a clattering sound coming from inside. The thick snowdrifts were vaguely undulating, and it was obvious that animals were moving slowly underneath.

This situation was the first time Wang Manyin encountered it, and he didn't know what was hidden underneath.

But it's still the same sentence, and it's over.

With curiosity, he aimed at the position and landed directly in the big net, locking the snow squarely.

An earthy gray hare struggled to escape, splashing snowflakes and churning. It's just that Wang Manyin didn't expect that there were a lot of broken reeds hidden under the snow, so that the edge of the net pocket could not fall completely, revealing a big gap.

Before he could put away his net, this guy seized the opportunity and ran away from the gap next to him.

Good thing there is rhubarb next to it.

Seeing its prey fleeing, it pounced directly. After chasing less than twenty meters away, he pressed this guy into a snow nest.

Immediately, he returned with his prey in his mouth.

Wang Manyin saw that the hare was bitten half dead, and he didn't keep it, and directly shot it to death with a shovel.

Curious, he then dug up the snow where the hare was hiding to see what was to be eaten. When the snow cleared, Wang Manyin found out that this thing was hungry and anxious, hiding under the snow and gnawing on the reed roots.

Catching four hares in one day can be regarded as setting a new record for rhubarb.

Thinking about checking the cracks, Wang Manyin did not linger by the river any longer. Instead, he led the rhubarb and went straight to the goal.

Just like last time, as soon as I got close to the gap, I heard a cooing sound coming from inside.

This wave is stable.

He first blocked most of the hole, then reached in and fumbled, and immediately started with a warm feather. In the dark environment, the pheasant's vision was seriously blocked, and he didn't know how to struggle, so he honestly put it into a cloth bag.

touched three in succession, and just when Wang Manyin thought it was swept away, he sensed a few smaller things. When I took it out, it turned out to be a rock pigeon.

After the search, a total of four rock pigeons were caught.

Still the same as before, the pheasant and rock pigeons are all put into the space to raise, and they are kept as meat later.

By this time, it was almost dark.

The snow on the ground also began to freeze, creaking and creaking when stepping on it.

Wang Manyin did not continue to wander around the field, and went straight to his house with the hare.

"Manyin, it's frozen, I'll give you warm ......" After Wang Manyin washed his face, Orchid unbuttoned the floral cotton jacket and put the man's cold hand inside.

This aunt is so good!

No matter how cold the weather is, I am not afraid, at least I have a daughter-in-law to hug when I go home. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, Wang Manyin would have been ready to move on to his next life project.

Rhubarb, on the other hand, can only hide in the dirt pit alone to keep warm.

"Full silver, what do you cook at night?" After warming the man for a while, Orchid asked out loud.

"I only ate hare meat at noon, how about we change the taste in the evening and fry a few potatoes to rub?" Wang Manyin asked rhetorically.

Artichoke rubbing is the name of the Loess Plateau, and to put it bluntly, it is potato shredded pie.

The recipe is also simple, cut the potatoes into thin strips, stir with flour, and add soy sauce, salt, onion and garlic as a seasoning. Then pat it into a slap shape and fry it in a frying pan.

Wang Manyin let the orchid light the fire and took charge of the kitchen himself.

In order to make it more flavorful, he also deliberately cut some lard and chopped it into dices.

Then pour oil into the pan and fry slowly over low heat.

After a while, the smell of burnt incense began to spread through the cave......

After the artichoke was wiped and wiped, Wang Manyin gave one to the orchid, and he didn't care about the heat, so he directly picked one up and put it in his mouth.

It tastes really good.

The artichoke rubbed the skin crispy, the inside was soft and tender, the fat had melted, and the mouth was full of oil, mixed with the crisp clicking sound of shredded potatoes, not to mention how energetic.

"Full of silver, this artichoke rub is so delicious. It's just a little too fuel-intensive. Orchid admired and felt a little distressed.

It's only been two days since she got married, and she feels like her mouth is a little cuffy.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't get used to eating sorghum nests again.

Looking at the fact that there were still a lot of artichokes in the pot, Orchid hesitated and asked, "Do you need to send a few to Wang Qiusheng's family?" ”

The man said before that he had the best relationship with Wang Qiusheng's family.

"Forget it, I just sent them surplus food the day before yesterday. It's okay to send it once or twice once in a while, but not too often. Especially when our family makes good food, it is best not to let outsiders know. Wang Manyin shook his head and replied.

He naturally knows the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Hatred. Especially in this era, people's hearts are the most difficult to measure.

Although Wang Qiusheng and his family are honest people and don't have so many hearts, they also have to be on guard in secret.

Of course, if the three children happen to come to the door at the meal, Wang Manyin will sometimes give some food, but basically it is a corn nest or a candy.

"Well, I see," Orchid nodded.

Although she is very kind at heart, she is not a stupid woman who doesn't know anything. If such a day is spread out, it will definitely attract people's eyes.

In these days, eating too well can also make mistakes.
