Next, Wang Manyin tossed and turned in the sweet potato field, and caught hundreds of locusts of all sizes. That's it, there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net.

In this regard, he was helpless.

Nowadays, the results of space greening are very significant, except for a few areas where there is still loess soil, the rest is basically covered by plants.

As far as the eye can see, it is lush and green, but it is very similar to the Loess Plateau a few decades later.

In such an environment, it is almost impossible to completely clean up all the locusts.

At present, we can only control the number for the time being, so as not to let them overflow, and wait for a few days to catch frogs and sand swallows before making plans.

Wang Manyin first entered the space and wanted to continue digging the pond, but he completely got involved with locusts and grasshoppers.

He didn't have a shortage of meat now, he didn't look down on these bugs at all, and he didn't have time to roast them.

Blessed are the chickens in the space, enjoying a locust feast.

Seeing that it was not early, he did not continue to be busy, hurriedly fed the poultry and livestock in the space, and reappeared outside.

Wang Manyin was about to clean up and go home with a flat pole, when he suddenly heard a loud rattling sound from the platform not far away.

It's like a goose calling, and there seems to be a lot of sounds.

Here in the Shibijie Commune, I haven't heard of any family feeding geese.

There is a serious shortage of water on this side of the Loess Plateau, and there has never been a habit of raising geese.

With curiosity, Wang Manyin followed the sound. As soon as I crossed two small hills, I saw a flock of large earth-gray birds, about thirty or forty, pecking in the wheat field.

Wild goose?!

Isn't it, it's almost March now, and it's almost the season for the geese to fly back.

As for the goose calls...... The domestic goose was originally domesticated from the wild goose, similar to the relationship between wild boars and domestic pigs. And there has been no reproductive isolation, they are essentially the same animal.

The swallows didn't wait, but the geese flew back first.

However, this side of the Loess Plateau is not their final destination, and after they have eaten and drunk enough, they will fly further north.

Seeing the flock of geese not far away, Wang Manyin's first reaction was that this thing could be eaten.

An adult wild goose weighs almost ten pounds, which is enough for a family to eat a few meals.

And you can get space to breed.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a shotgun in hand, and he can't help it after staring at it for a long time, so he can only sigh.

When he got home, he saw Orchid chatting with several village mothers-in-law and aunts, Wang Manyin said hello, and returned to the cave with the goods.

It wasn't until noon that these mothers-in-law and aunts left one after another.

There were no outsiders, so he untied the canvas and took out the twist flowers he bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives and sent them to Orchid's mouth.

Orchids are used to this.

As long as the man goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives to deliver goods, he will bring her some food every time he comes back. Meat buns, white flour buns, salty baked cakes, oil buns...... Since getting married, Orchid has eaten almost all the noodles in the restaurant of the supply and marketing cooperative.

And I buy a lot, and I have a copy from my mother's family every time.

The two of them were eating, when they suddenly heard the rhubarb outside screaming.

The orchid reacted immediately, and hurriedly buckled the remaining twist flowers under the tile pot.

Wang Manyin walked out in response, only to find that it was Wang Lianshun and Wang Yanqiang standing on the sidelines.

"Uncle Lian Shun, why are you here? Is there a conclusion to the matter of the dike? As Wang Manyin spoke, he welcomed the two to the side of the field, and brought a box of cigarettes from the house to distribute.

"How can it be so fast, just that white, it's called hell if it can be done." Wang Yanqiang pursed his lips and replied.

He is now more and more disdainful of Director Zhao, and he directly commends himself as white in private.

On the side of the Shibi Festival Commune, white is not a good word. It means that just having lip service is like a chicken diarrhea, a big puddle.

"Man Yin, we found a group of geese by the Dong'e River in the morning, and we want to catch a few to eat, so I don't want you to discuss it."

"How to catch geese...... Use my rhubarb? ”

This is the answer that Wang Manyin can think of. But the two of them really overestimate the rhubarb, and it's enough to choke a pheasant or something, let alone catch geese.

This bird is much more clever than the pheasant, and when it lands, it will arrange for its companions to keep watch, even when sleeping.

At the slightest disturbance, the vigilant geese will sound a warning, so it is difficult to get close.

"Not rhubarb, but from you. It's okay in the afternoon, come with me to find some horse bubblers. ”

"Horse Bubble Egg, does it work with this thing?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

He knew that the shape looked like a pocket version of a melon, and when ripe, it was golden in color. It doesn't taste much, but it smells very good, and it is one of the few wild fruits on the Loess Plateau.

However, the first time he heard that Ma Baoan could catch geese, he instinctively felt that it was unreliable.

Wang Lianshun also felt that it was unlikely, and also asked: "That's right, Yanqiang, are you sure that Ma Baodan can really catch the wild goose?" After a winter, it's hard to find Ma Bubble Eggs now. Don't let us toss around, we won't even be able to catch a wild goose feather by then. ”

Horse bubble eggs ripen in autumn, and now it is rare to find miserable fruit in the wild in spring.

"Don't worry, when I was a soldier in the plains, I saw people catch geese with horses and eggs. It worked exceptionally well......"

According to Wang Yanqiang, this method of catching geese is particularly simple.

Hold the needle in the shape of a fishhook and hide it in a golden horse bubble egg, tie twine at the end, and put it in a place where geese often hang out.

Of course, the other end of the twine is fastened with a wooden stick.

The horse bubble egg is smooth, as long as the wild goose swallows it, it can no longer spit it out, and when struggling, it will be hung by a needle hook to the meat, and there is no way to escape.

Hearing this method, Wang Manyin's eyes suddenly lit up: Isn't this the land version of fishing?

The horse bubble egg is the bait, the needle hook is the fish hook, and the twine is the fishing line.

"Uncle Yanqiang, do you have to use horses to make eggs? Does something else work? ”

In later generations, let alone catching geese, it is difficult for ordinary people to see geese in the wild.

Naturally, there is no way to talk about the capture method, so I don't know what the charm of the horse bubble egg is, and why it has to be this thing.

However, for Wang Satisfied, it is not difficult to find Ma Bubble Eggs, and there are many in the space. He had made a lot of mature pheasants before.

"I don't know, anyway, I've seen people catch me like this."

"Otherwise, it just so happens that I caught some loaches a few days ago, and I have been keeping them at home, and I can hang a few loaches and try them when I get ready. Get a few more hooks and do a comparison experiment with the horse bubble eggs. ”

Wang Manyin instinctively felt that the effect should be better with loaches. Because geese are omnivores, they prefer to eat small fish and shrimp.

In this regard, Wang Yanqiang did not object.

After the group had made a decision, they went home.

It is convenient to open a consignment point at home, and you can pick up anything you need at any time.

After Wang Manyin ate, he immediately brought a pack of needles, put them under the stove to heat and bend, and made more than a dozen needle hooks before stopping.

Taking advantage of Wang Yanqiang's absence, he said hello to Orchid again and went out for a walk. When he returned, he had an extra handful of golden horse eggs.

He didn't dare to pick too fresh, but chose a dozen or so that were already shriveled.

"Alright, Manyin, where did you get it? I thought it would be hard to find, and it would take a lot of trouble in the afternoon. Seeing Ma Baodan, Wang Yanqiang asked in surprise.

"I remember the last time I picked up rabbits, I saw it under the cliff side of the old grave behind the village, and I went to look for it just now, and I found so many, and I folded the needle hook."

"Then what are you waiting for, you go to the shallows on the other side of the East Mountain Pass first, and I'll go back and get the gun." Wang Yanqiang didn't expect Wang Manyin to make preparations so quickly, so naturally he didn't bring a gun.

After the two separated, Wang Manyin carried things straight to Dongshan Pass, and sure enough, he saw dozens of geese perched in the shallow water, stretching their necks to peck in the water, I don't know if I saw that group in the morning.

But before he could get closer, the geese fluttered their wings and flew away.

Afraid that his operation method would not be appropriate, Wang Manyin did not dare to set the trap alone.

It didn't take long for Wang Yanqiang to arrive with a rifle. In fact, it is best to shoot wild geese with a native gun, but unfortunately he doesn't have it at home, so he can only make up the numbers with a rifle.

After setting the trap, the two hid under the cliff and waited.

As a result, I waited for a long time, and when I saw that the sun was about to set, the wild geese were stunned and nowhere to be seen.

Wang Yanqiang was a little anxious, and muttered quietly, but he was helpless.

Wang Manyin is calm, as a fisherman, he has seen a lot of situations in the Air Force, and he is naturally accustomed to it.

In fact, this trap is purely a matter of chance...... If the geese don't come, it's useless to be in a hurry.

As long as they see the bait, there will always be a time to take the bait.

Not to mention, Wang Yanqiang's expectations are really effective.

When it was almost dark, the geese finally flew back. They circled the sky a few times, felt no danger, and landed again at the water's edge.

Both of them became excited, their eyes fixed on the group of guys.
