Chapter Eighty-Six: Dried Geese

Didn't wait long.

Rattle...... Rattle......

Suddenly, several rapid screams were heard from the shallow water.

Immediately after, the geese flocked into chaos and spread their wings and soared into the air.

There were a few left in place, and their mouths made a hoarse and low sound. Their wings flapped wildly, but they couldn't fly at all, just circled around the puddle.

"Caught, caught!!" Wang Yanqiang shouted excitedly, and rushed over directly with a gun. Afraid that a few steps too late, the wild goose broke free from the hemp rope and fled.

Wang Manyin was also a little excited, holding a few hemp ropes in his hand, and followed closely.

The two ran to the Dongla River and pounced on the nearest geese.

A few of the guys saw the humans approaching and struggled even more. Unfortunately, their mouths are stuck, so they can only circle in place.

Without much effort, Wang Manyin and the two grabbed one each. Tethering the wings and legs with hemp rope makes them completely lose the possibility of escaping.

A total of five geese were recruited, and after they were busy, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Up close, this thing is almost indistinguishable from a domestic goose.

Wang Manyin deliberately looked at the traps set up and found that the geese were more interested in loaches and small fish, and none of them devoured horse eggs.

This also proves that Wang Yanqiang's thinking is biased...... As long as it's a bait, you can catch geese.

As for the horse bubble eggs he saw catching geese, it is more likely that in late autumn and early winter, everything is depressed, the wheat field is green, and the golden horse bubble eggs are very conspicuous, which is easier for the geese to see.

It's a bit of a shame though. A few geese completely swallowed the needle hook into the sac, and there was no way to take it out, and naturally it was impossible to feed it, so they could only kill and eat meat.

Of course, the five geese were not divided by Wang Manyin's family, but counted as hunting and earning work for the team. This is what Wang Lianshun said at noon, whether he can catch the geese or not, he will give the two of them half a day's work.

In this regard, Wang Manyin has no opinion.

Again, the saying goes, don't suffer from the lack of wealth, but suffer from inequality. Even if he caught five geese, he could only get them to the village. Otherwise, if you eat meat as a family, you will properly pull hatred.

So far, Orchid has followed his orders.

It is relatively simple to do in the morning and at noon, and only when it gets dark in the evening will life improve.

When the two returned to the village with the wild geese, it immediately caused a sensation, and adults and children gathered around to watch the excitement.

One by one, they were elated, constantly talking about how to eat geese at night.

Wang Manyin quietly pulled Wang Lianshun to the side and whispered: "Uncle Lianshun, let's kill two geese first, and the rest of the meat should be saved." When the second team went out to build the silt dam, they would improve the lives of the laborers. ”

So many people have seen the wild geese, and it is not okay not to let them eat, but they must think more about the upcoming silt dam.

The silt dam is a manual job, which needs to be carried on the shoulder, and if you can't ensure nutrition, you won't have the energy to do the work.

Especially now is the time when spring is not harvesting, and many families have begun to dig wild vegetables in the mountains.

This side of the jar village is better, because it is close to the Dongla River, and the two production teams have some watering on the ground. Therefore, there is more grain that can be distributed, and basically every family has some rations, plus digging wild vegetables to deal with it, it can barely support the wheat harvest.

In Ishikawa Village, on the other side of the mountain, many families have long been cut off, and men take their mothers-in-law and children out to beg for food.

It's not just Ishikawa Village...... On the side of the Shibi Festival, almost half of the people in the village suffered, including some of the captains of the production team.

In order to facilitate the members to go out to beg for food, some brigades will also issue certificates.

"Yes, yes, but now is not as good as winter, and I am afraid that the wild goose meat will not be preserved for too long...... was mixed by Officer Zhao, and the silt dam didn't know when it would start, so don't make it stink when the time comes. Wang Lianshun opened his mouth with some concern.

"It's okay, we can make air-dried geese and keep them fine for a few months." Wang Manyin briefly introduced how to dry wild geese.

He had seen air-dried chicken made somewhere in later generations, and the process was not complicated.

It is to kill the chicken and marinate it with salt and put it in a ventilated place to dry. However, this traditional method is too slow to complete, and it takes twenty or thirty days to complete.

Wang Manyin intends to choose another quick way...... After pickling, leave it in the sun. If the weather is good, it can be finished in two or three days, but the taste is worse.

In fact, the weather is just right for air-dried geese now, although the temperature is close to zero degrees at night, but it can reach more than 10 degrees at noon during the day.

Listening to Wang Manyin's speech, Wang Lianshun naturally agreed.

In fact, these days, he is also thinking about how to arrange the meals of the laborers. He even came up with a bold idea, and he didn't dare to discuss it with others for the time being.

After the discussion was decided, Wang Lianshun immediately announced that he would eat two geese at night, save the rest, and improve the food for the laborers when the dam was silted.

Although many people were a little disappointed, they didn't say anything about whether they could eat meat at night.

More than a dozen men got started together, and it didn't take long to deal with the five geese.

Still in charge of the kitchen by "squint-eyed" Wang Shouchang, chopped into small pieces of wild goose meat in a large pot directly add water to stew, and then add green onions, ginger, chili peppers...... The method is simple and crude.

There is no way, now there is a lack of edible oil and various seasonings, and Wang Shouchang can't show it even if he has great ability.

Of course, the villagers don't care about the taste. It's good to have meat to eat these days.

Wait for the wild goose meat stewed potatoes to be ready, as usual, one flat bowl per family.

Two wild geese can be cleaned up, and a maximum of ten catties of meat can be produced. There are more than 50 households in the second team, counting the educated youths who have joined the team, there are 300 people, and it is already very good for one person to be able to taste two pieces of meat.

Even so, it also made many members of the team envious.

It is said that from winter to now, the second team has divided the meat several times.

Wang Manyin returned with a bowl in one hand and three geese in the other.

No one else in the village knew how to do air-dried geese, so the responsibility naturally fell to him again.

It's not for nothing...... Wang Lianshun explained very clearly, pickled several geese, and counted him as a full day's work. As for how much salt to use, it will be recorded in the account of the production team, and it will be calculated when the dividend is distributed at the end of the year.

Regarding this result, Wang Manyin had nothing to say.

The division of work, the division of work, the lifeblood of the members.

To work for the production team, of course, you can't work in vain. Some people go to the commune for a half-day meeting and are counted as work points, and some people who don't work can get "subsidized work points". If you put in your own labor, you should certainly be paid.

Wang Lianshun is relatively honest and tries to be fair in the evaluation of work scores. Some powerful production captains do everything possible to find reasons to give more processing points to their relatives, and even send people from the team to do work for their own families.

This is also the reason why many production captains change every year.

There was also a slip of the tongue from the commune next door: "The captain wants to marry a daughter, and he sent two carpenters, a set of furniture, and the team to work." The members of the club put forward their opinions, greeted them with a smile in person, and then found a fault and deducted him from his work. The branch secretary wants to build a house, the team is looking for helpers, and the whole family lives in a new house, and there is no division of labor ......"

After dinner, while the orchids were brushing the dishes and pots, Wang Manyin was busy.

He has never made air-dried meat, it is purely a mouth cannon, and he only knows the specific steps and precautions.

But after receiving the task, roll up your sleeves and do it.

When marinating, try to ensure that the meat is dry, otherwise it will easily spoil. As for filling chopped green onions and ginger slices, he didn't know how much, so he could only follow his feelings. After that, it is sprinkled with salt and salted for two days and exposed to the sun.

After being busy for an hour, Wang Manyin's hands were sore, and he finally finished the three geese.

Then, in order to prevent rats, he deliberately put it in a water tank for preservation.

With rhubarb, Wang Manyin's rats are almost extinct. However, there are no absolutes, and occasionally one or two will flow from other places......

However, most of them don't live too long, and often they don't even dig a hole well, and they are dried up by rhubarb.
