Gao Mingcheng's winter climate is not very warm, so migratory birds will fly south, and in autumn, when you look up at the sky, you can see the geese flying south.

But turtle doves, sparrows and other birds are still stationed here, struggling to find grass seeds and insects to survive the winter when food is scarce.

At this time, the villagers will find a way to catch the turtle dove, which is a kind of game that everyone likes very much, because it is large, the meat is delicious, and it nourishes the body.

There are two ways to catch turtle doves, one is to buy sticky nets, put the sticky nets with bamboo poles, and place them in the field or at the foot of the mountain, this sticky net is very thin and transparent, and the mesh is not big, when the bird leaps between the mountains and forests, it is easy to be entangled in the wings of the sticky net, once it is entangled, the bird can not break free on its own, and can only hang on the net and wait for death.

The efficiency of this kind of sticky net is very high, and as long as it is a bird, it can be caught, and the harm to birds is relatively large, so in later generations, it is clearly stipulated that birds cannot be caught with sticky nets, otherwise it is a crime.

In addition to using sticky nets, there is another method, which is to cover the turtledove with a cover, but this requires some bait and someone to guard it.

But fortunately, in winter, most people are idle and have nothing to do, especially the half-grown children, who are full of interest in catching turtle doves.

After Gao Mingcheng returned to the village, he found traces left by the villagers in several places. At this time, he walked deep in the mountains, and in the silence, the sound of birdsong became more and more quiet. If you look up, you can see a variety of birds flying around the treetops.

This time he entered the mountain, he did not have any purpose, so his mind was more leisurely, and he planned to go wherever he wanted, the black tiger and the elf were unwilling to walk like this, looking down and sniffing in the forest, as if looking for something.

Sometimes they pull down the dead grass with their front feet, and sometimes bark at a bush dog that is luxuriant.

Suddenly, their barking became rapid and loud, and the black tiger ran to Gao Mingcheng's side, gently biting his pants and motioning him to look over.

Gao Mingcheng looked over curiously, but saw that in the depths of a cluster of bushes, there was a yellow muntjac hidden.

This yellow muntjac is not big, and it is estimated that it is only twenty or thirty catties. It appears to be wounded, hiding inside and not moving. Gao Mingcheng walked over and stretched out his hand to pull it out, only to find that it had broken a leg.

The yellow muntjac was timid, and after being frightened, he immediately screamed, this cry was not good, and it even wanted to escape, but it was a runner, but now it not only broke a leg, but also was restricted by people who couldn't move!

Gao Mingcheng checked the condition of Huang Muntjac and felt that its leg should have been broken and completely fractured, as for the specific situation, then he didn't know.

Except for the broken leg, the rest of the place still looks healthy.

In that case, it is better to cheapen me!

Thinking so, Gao Mingcheng took out a dagger from his waist and directly disposed of the yellow muntjac.

There is little food in winter, not to mention a broken leg, the fate of this yellow muntjac is actually doomed.

Gao Mingcheng was also very happy in his heart when he got this unexpected joy, and said to the two dogs: "Go home and give you food!" ”

Although there are still a lot of wind-blown meat at home, it is all salted meat, which is not as delicious as fresh meat, not to mention that yellow muntjac is also a kind of deer, which is very nourishing.

Originally, he was going to slaughter two sheep during the Chinese New Year, but because he had beaten so many wild boars before, he didn't have time to slaughter sheep for a while.

Now, he decided to slaughter a sheep tomorrow, and as for the rest, let it live for the time being, and in the spring of next year, the weeds of Xiaofushan will still be waiting for it to eat.

"Let's go, go home!" Gao Mingcheng looked at the sky, it was dark early in winter, and the light was already a little dim at this time, so he decided to go home.

The two dogs let out a whiny and followed Gao Mingcheng down the mountain.

When I got home, the light was getting darker and darker, the lights in the hall were on, and many beauties were writing at the desk, practicing calligraphy to be precise.

She already knows all the commonly used words, but she still doesn't write well, she didn't pay much attention to it before, but now she has to keep accounts every day, and she feels that her writing is ugly, so she will take a little time every day to calm down and practice words.

Under her leadership, Gao Shufang also followed the practice of calligraphy, and over time, the handwriting of the two of them became better and better, at least it was more upright, and the writing did not lack arms and legs.

Hearing the movement of someone entering the door, many beauties put down the pen and paper in their hands and greeted them.

"Mingcheng, are you back? I'm getting ready to cook. Duo Mei said, looking at the yellow muntjac he was holding.

After eating wild boar meat for a while, her eyes lit up when she saw the yellow muntjac.

She hurriedly said: "Mingcheng, I'll go boil water, let's pluck this yellow muntjac, don't peel it!" The skin is delicious and stewed strong! ”

As she spoke, she hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

Gao Mingcheng smiled, even so, he threw the yellow muntjac on the ground first, and then scalded it after the water boiled.

Before the water boiled, he went to find a wooden basin, a kitchen knife and other tools, and then moved the lamp in the hall to the eaves.

Although the houses in the village are equipped with electric lights, they are equipped with very ordinary pear-shaped bulbs, which emit orange light and are not completely fixed, but can be moved.

On the eaves side, a nail was driven so that the wires could be hung there.

He is busy with these, and many beauties are also busy washing rice and vegetables, and the advantage of having two large iron pots at home comes out, which can save a lot of time while cooking rice and stir-frying.

Of course, this is also more demanding for the fire watch. Many beauties have to watch the fire, add firewood in time, and chop vegetables and stir-fry at the same time, things can be busy.

In the stove, the fire is strong, and the heat gathers at the bottom of the pot, causing the water in the pot to gradually tumble.

Many beauties immediately shouted: "Mingcheng, the water is boiling!" ”

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, scooped the boiling water into the bucket with a scoop, and then poured it into the wooden basin, and the yellow muntjac had been placed in the wooden basin, and as soon as it was scalded with hot water, the hair was easy to fade.

The husband and wife perform their own duties, Gao Mingcheng is busy handling the yellow muntjac in the yard, and many beauties are busy cooking, and after the internal organs of the yellow muntjac are processed, Gao Mingcheng will take them to the kitchen, and these internal organs will be used as tonight's dishes.

As for the two dogs, Gao Mingcheng also gave them about a pound of meat, and it was given where there were many bones, so when the two dogs gnawed, they made a crisp sound.

This night, it was very quiet, although it was close to the New Year, but because they were isolated, there were no neighbors around, and the excitement about the New Year seemed to have nothing to do with them.

For this reason, Gao Mingcheng decided to create a man!

Speaking of creating people, it has been arranged a long time ago, but fate is like this, it will not completely follow people's wishes, sometimes what you want, but it is always difficult to get.

Sometimes you don't want something, and all of a sudden you get it.
