After easily hunting the two yellow sasels, Wang Manyin led the rhubarb and the cat to continue towards the next cave.

No surprises, two more prey.

Soon, they discovered new caves......

Since the development of Dongshan Pass last year, alfalfa seeds have been sown on several cliff ditches near the earthen dam. There is no way to count the scattered plots, and it is estimated that there can be at least seven or eight acres.

Before, Wang Manyin and the two of them generally only stood at the cliff mouth and glanced at each other, and did not go into the ground to take a closer look.

Only now do I know that it has begun to flood before I know it.

After searching several cliffs, nine weasels were caught and five quails were taken. Wait for the pick-up, there will be almost five catties of clean meat.

Of course, these quails are all thanks to the cats. They are like fish in water when they lurk and walk in knee-deep alfalfa fields.

Often the quail is easily caught before it has time to react.

In addition, there are hares, but they can not be caught.

As for why there are so many yellow rats in the cliff ditch, Wang Manyin guesses that it should have something to do with space water. When I first planted these alfalfa, I secretly watered a lot of space water.

As a result, these alfalfa sprouts need to taste better to attract squirrels and other wild animals and birds.

Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang didn't expect such a harvest at all, so now they will discuss it again and simply not give a few broken babies a weasel. Instead, let them each go home and get two potatoes, and cook a meal of braised weasel meat on the Zhiqing stove at noon.

In this regard, a few people are willing to do so. They can only put it under the stove and eat it when they take it home, although it is also meat, but it is not fried and eaten in the end.

Wang Manyin and the two guarded the rice fields, and they had free working hours.

Seeing that it was almost noon, they stopped grinding and simply took a group of children back to the village to cook.

The weather at the end of April was neither hot nor cold.

The warm sun shining on people is even more beautiful.

At this moment, Shang Zhimin and Xie Liansheng were sitting on the sidelines playing chess.

Hearing a loud noise coming from a dirt road not far away, they subconsciously turned their heads.

Immediately, Shang Zhimin stood up in surprise and asked, "Brother Wang, where did you fill the weasel hole and catch so many weasels?!" ”

After he left the village at the end of the year, a letter of complaint caused the commune to be devastated. As a result, this person was as if he was fine, and he wandered in the Great Northern Wilderness for nearly 4 months, and he didn't return by car until a few days ago.

This thing seems a little strange to outsiders, but Wang Manyin doesn't think it's strange.

Again, regulations are regulations, and there must be a certain deviation in implementation. is also a young intellectual, and there are great differences in identity.

Since the food subsidy was cut off, some ordinary educated youths have begun to become more settled, rarely running around anymore, but choosing to farm honestly in the village to earn work.

Most of the educated youths whose parents are still on the job have left through relationships.

Like Shang Zhimin, who is "less than the top and more than the bottom", if he chooses to lie down, he can also live very comfortably. When he returned, the commune did not give any explanation, but chose to keep a low profile, as if nothing had ever happened.

"We irrigated the alfalfa in the eastern mountains, and it took a long time. If you two want to eat at noon, help pick all the yellow squirrels!! Liu Xiangyang replied with a smile.

He had been busy for a long time just now, and of course he didn't want to watch his companion eat ready-made.

"No problem, no problem,"

"Leave it to us ......"

The two did not hesitate, and hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Shang Zhimin and Xie Liansheng have both eaten squirrel meat, and there are no taboos about it.

Especially after the New Year, the commune no longer issued meat tickets, which made the educated youth have an unusual desire for meat.

Now they go to the Dongla River almost every night to lay fishing traps, in order to catch a few small fish and make a tooth sacrifice. Not only the educated youth, but also many members of the Jar Village.

When Wang Manyin releases fish into the river at night, he will deliberately bring rhubarb.

This guy is very vigilant, as long as he finds someone within fifty meters, he will shout and warn as soon as possible.

From last year to now, Wang Manyin has never been found releasing fish. On the one hand, it was because he deliberately hid in a remote place by the river, and on the other hand, because of rhubarb.

said that Shang Zhimin and the two would help clean up the weasels, but in fact, Wang Manyin personally completed the peeling...... The main fear is that the leather will be damaged and will not be able to sell at a price.

In addition, it has been said before filling the squirrel hole, and then peel the skin and give them the hairy eggs.

For these few cents, Wang Manyin had no intention of repenting.

After the weasel skin was peeled, he washed his hands and found a chair to sit in front of the kiln to bask in the sun while listening to the news on the radio.

Liu Xiangyang cleaned up the chess and said, "Brother Wang, what's the next game?" ”

Wang Manyin was bored and nodded immediately.

They are killing back and forth on the chessboard, and Shang Zhimin and Xie Liansheng are not slow to process the weasel meat.

After cleaning up, in order to prevent the fishy smell from attracting flies, the two took it to the edge of the field to rinse. was busy, and saw Wang Manchu and Bai Mingchuan pushing bicycles passing by on the dirt road next to them.

"Wang Zhishu, Secretary Bai, are you coming back from a meeting in the commune?" Shang Zhimin greeted loudly.

Although he has only been in contact for a few days, Shang Zhimin has a good impression of Bai Mingchuan. I feel that this person is upright in doing things, unlike Zhao Jianhai who shouts slogans at every turn, and likes to bring hats to people.

Wang Manchu responded, and when he saw a few yellow rats they were flushing, he was a little surprised: "Okay, you young people are capable, where do you feed so many yellow rats?" ”

Hearing the movement, Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang also got up and came over to say hello.

Shang Zhimin opened his mouth again: "This is the credit of the two cats of Brother Wang's family, why don't you go back and eat together on the Zhiqing stove at noon?" ”

"That's right, Brother Manchu, Officer Bai, you guys are in a hurry, together at noon." Wang Manyin followed up.

Without waiting for the two of them to say goodbye, Liu Xiangyang asked curiously: "Wang Zhishu, what kind of meeting did you have, I think you brought back a lot of information." ”

Hearing this, Wang Manchu showed an indescribable expression on his face.

He turned his head to Bai Mingchuan and said, "You tell them, they have to talk about the meeting at night anyway......"

Bai Mingchuan took a breath and replied in a flat tone as much as possible: "Today's pig mobilization meeting is still held, and in order to urge the members to complete this year's tasks, a new pig fattening method is promoted in the commune. ”

"What's the method, won't it still be saccharified feed. I tossed Xu Kong enough last year, and now it's here again? Shang Zhimin immediately said.

This guy has suffered so much loss in his mouth, and he still doesn't have a long memory, and he still can't change the problem of nonsense.

When Zhao Jianhai heard it, it is estimated that it has already begun to be approved.

"Shang Zhimin, you don't say something weird." Wang Manchu glared and lowered his voice.

Fortunately, Bai Mingchuan had already learned about Shang Zhimin from the commune, and knew what the other party's personality was, so he didn't say much.

He just responded, "This is true...... It has to do with feed, but it's fermented with cow stomach juice......"

"What, cow gastric juice?" Wang Manyin was a little stunned on his face, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

He really didn't expect that the researchers of this era are also quite creative. I really dare to think that any method can be invented.

From the second cutting method, the third cutting method, to the five injections, the six injections, and now there is a cow stomach juice fermented feed, which sounds very lofty.

Bai Mingchuan was very happy, and directly handed over the printed materials: "You can take a look, this is the information." ”

Wang Manyin did not refuse, and immediately reached out to take it.

His curiosity was now filled, and he wanted to know what was written in the information.

Liu Xiangyang did the same, and tilted his head to read closely.

The opening paragraph is written with the characteristics of the times: "In order to implement XXX, our scientific research team invented cattle gastric juice fermented feed on the basis of studying the advanced experience of three cuts and two injections, and through repeated practice. At present, good experimental results have been obtained, which is of great significance for the call of XXX......"

Wang Manyin finished reading the whole article and roughly understood the specific idea of cow gastric juice fermented feed.

To put it simply, the liquid from the cow's stomach is extracted, and the microorganisms contained in it can multiply in large quantities through certain conditions, and then put it into fermented feed...... After a series of reactions, the feed can be made into protein, which in turn promotes the fattening of pigs.

How do you say this? The principle sounds good, and it is estimated that it will work well in the experiment. But you can think of it with your toes, and it's not something that ordinary members can do at all.

For example, the first step is to use a catheter to insert the cow's nostril into the cow's rumen, and then press the cow's head to use the height difference to draw the cow's gastric juice out.

Then add nitrogenous substances and salt to culture the seeds, keep the water temperature above 55 °C, and the pH value is between 8-9......

No wonder Bai Mingchuan and Wang Manchu's faces were a little strange, it is estimated that even they don't believe that this operation method can be done.

Didn't the two stay to eat the weasel at all...... They hold their own identity, so they are embarrassed to eat white food.

Seeing off the two, Wang Manyin was busy cooking in person.

As the educated youth of Jar Village continued to leave, the remaining seven people were divided into men and women.

So Wang Manyin was very comfortable cooking, and when the pot was hot, he poured a big spoonful of oil directly. Then add chopped green onion and pepper leaves to choke the taste, and then put the weasel meat in the pot.

The smell of fragrant oil smoke wafted down the flue and quickly drifted outside, spreading in all directions.

A few broken babies stayed on the sidelines, some of them sniffing impatiently. The mere smell makes them swallow their saliva constantly.

Several female intellectuals happened to return from work, and they also came over curiously and asked: "Liu Xiangyang, what do you cook delicious at noon?" We smelled ...... a few dozen meters away."

"If you want to know, go in and see for yourself, you will never imagine it." Shang Zhimin smiled, but did not answer.

As a result, several female intellectuals entered the cave, only to notice that it was Wang Manyin who was in charge, and they all said hello.

Then, they glanced twice into the cauldron and ran out one by one with their mouths covered. This is normal, some people can accept eating beef and mutton, but it is difficult to eat some things.

When the meal is ready, the cave is completely lively.

A few broken babies opened up to eat, and one by one they had a round belly. On the way, there were children who kept smelling the fragrance and rushed over, standing outside the field waiting with their eyes open.

Liu Xiangyang simply beckoned all of them to come over, and stuffed a piece of meat into each person's mouth with chopsticks.

When the general meeting of members was held in the evening, Bai Mingchuan really read the book and read the materials.

Then, he said: "Cow stomach juice fermented feed is a new thing, which member can come to the team headquarters to sign up if he has an idea......

This is also the difference between him and Zhao Jianhai.

For the various experiences promoted above, Bai Mingchuan selectively accepts them, and will not force everyone.

In this regard, the people of Jar Village have also adapted.

***

After almost a week, several mothers-in-law and female intellectuals who went to study in the Huangyuan state-owned weaving factory finally returned, and they also brought back a few carpet graphic styles and detailed production processes.

As early as before they left, Wang Lian asked people to pick up all the corn husks stored in the breeding room early, and sorted them out bit by bit, probably more than 1,000 catties, which should be enough for the time being.

On the first team's side, the situation is similar.

The two captains had a similar idea, they both let people do it first, and if this happened, they could buy a large number of corn husks from several nearby villages later.

In addition, weaving corn husk carpets requires the purchase of sulfur for fumigation, which is naturally made by Wang Manyin.

Now the supply and marketing cooperatives also sell sulfur and saltpeter...... This thing plus charcoal, everyone who understands it. In the past, many people did fireworks and artillery battles during the Chinese New Year, and they were all raw materials purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives.

Although the village asked for a lot of sulfur, Wang Manyin said hello to Director Guo and bought it without much effort.

Next, the entire Jar Village went into a busy state again. A large group of mothers-in-law and aunts in the village were quickly gathered to learn how to weave corn husks. Among them is also Wang Manyin's mother-in-law Liu Erni.

This matter itself was contacted by Wang Manyin, so Bai Mingchuan and the others didn't say anything when they saw it.

These mothers-in-law had already heard the prospect of corn husk weaving described by the village beforehand, and everyone cherished this opportunity and studied very seriously.

Even after getting off work at night, Orchid hugged her child over to join in the fun.

In the next few days, almost all the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village began to be busy, and many of them were even the whole family. The same is true of the old father-in-law's family, and even the three Shao'an brothers and sisters also learned corn husk weaving.

When everyone first started to get started, it was naturally very slow to do it, and many people were directly stuck in the step of braiding.

In half a month, the village finally made up more than 50 carpets. Each carpet is sewn with a small strip of cloth with the name of the weaver on it to prevent confusion later.

With the hope of the whole village, Liu Xiangyang and Wang Zhanjun drove a hand-held tractor and left the Shibijie commune. This time, they did not turn around to go to the county seat again, but took a shortcut from the direction of Liucha Commune to Huangyuan City. In this way, you can save a hundred and ten miles of travel.

The two of them set off early, and if everything goes well, they can run back and forth on the same day.

That's true......

Just after dinner in the evening, Wang Zhanjun and Liu Xiangyang had already driven the walk-behind tractor and returned to the jar village smoothly. When questioned by the crowd, they directly stated the results: three carpets were knocked back, and the rest were all qualified.

And the two brought back the money, more than 400 yuan. Seeing that everyone was so excited, Wang Manchu discussed with several village cadres, and simply shouted their names on the spot to send money.

The money sent to the mother-in-law was naturally received by Orchid.

Although each family only had a few yuan this time, it made many mothers-in-law and aunts excited.

Because they see hope!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, these mothers-in-law are not very skilled at weaving corn husks at the beginning, so a carpet will take half a month. Once you are familiar with the process, the speed will only get faster and faster.

Then there was no need for Wang Lianshun to say hello, and many people in the village had already begun to collect corn husks automatically.
