Chapter 109 "Hunting"
Except for the military rations used in emergencies, Jiang Yan's other food at home is no longer left, and if he doesn't go out hunting, Jiang Yan has no food to eat at noon today.
Picking up all kinds of tools, Jiang Yan put the tools in everyone's hands in different categories.
"Kaka, it's up to you today!" Handing the bow and arrow to Kaka, Jiang Yan clenched his fists and cheered up.
As early as a few days ago, the Lu family sisters had already seen Kaka's ability, and the main force of every hunt was the silverback gorilla in front of them.
Like the Lu family sisters, their role is more like a means of transportation, loading up the hunted food and bringing it back.
After distributing the tools, Jiang Yan released the chicks in the chicken coop, bent down, and found seven eggs in the chicken coop.
Placing the seven eggs in the prepared seedling box, Jiang Yan locked the door, and then walked into Bailong Mountain with a group of figures.
In the past two days, Jiang Yan found that the chicks have begun to mate, in this case, the eggs born are very likely to hatch real chicks, in order to be able to expand the chick population, Jiang Yan took advantage of the nap time, made an egg seedling box with a wooden box.
The principle is the waterbed, the water has a stronger thermal insulation ability, wrap the water with a plastic sheet, and then sit the egg on the plastic sheet, so that as long as the water temperature reaches the right temperature, within a month, the chick can break out of the egg.
This is also the reason why ginger smoke still insists on burning kang in summer.
Walking in front, Zhao Dabai lowered his head and sniffed around, Zhao Dabai was more familiar with the road of Bailong Mountain than everyone here, under the leadership of Zhao Dabai, in just ten minutes, Jiang Yan arrived at the farmland at the foot of Bailong Mountain.
Because of the Nanshan python before, Jiang Yan had a great resistance to the deep mountains and old forests, so this time Jiang Yan went straight to Bailong Mountain and did not go south to Nanshan with more prey.
There is a large area of farmland at the foot of Bailong Mountain, part of which is still Jiang Yan's own farmland, but it has been abandoned for a long time and is now occupied by saplings, but because of this, there are no exaggerated wild animals here.
"Plants, it's time for you to exert your strength!"
Standing in the middle of the farmland, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and communicated with the surrounding plants, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
"In that direction, there should be something, let's go over."
Along the northeast, Jiang Yan and the others marched all the way, crossing the forest where they had picked mushrooms before, Jiang Yan bent down and kept searching for traces of prey in the woods.
Following behind, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked into the distance with curiosity on their faces, they didn't see anything, but this hunting process made them very curious.
"Whoosh!"
Squatting on the ground, Jiang Yan pointed to a big tree beside him, and Kaka on the side saw this situation, and climbed to the canopy with a bow and arrow in three steps and two steps, and then opened his bow and pulled arrows, looking for prey under the tree.
According to the guidance of the plants, there should be a pheasant 20 meters ahead, but when his eyes swept ahead, Jiang Yan did not find any pheasants.
"Where?"
Muttering softly, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and had synesthesia with the surrounding plants, and after a short period of dizziness, Jiang Yan suddenly found a bright figure.
"There!"
Opening his eyes, Jiang Yan pointed to the canopy not far in front of Kaka, and seeing the direction of Jiang Yan's finger, Kaka instantly raised his bow and arrow, and released the bowstring in the blink of an eye.
"Whew!"
The shuttled bow and arrow instantly hit the pheasant in the canopy, and seeing the pheasant fall to the ground, Jiang Yan hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the pheasant and pulled out the arrow.
"Wow, this feather is so beautiful!"
Looking at the pheasant in Jiang Yan's hand, Lu Lili's eyes on the side lit up, the pheasant is different from the domestic chicken, the feathers are bright and beautiful like a small peacock, and the flying ability is also better, the big tree more than ten meters high can fly up with a fan of its wings, the only disadvantage is that the meat quality is relatively firewood, and it is not as delicious as the local chicken.
"Go back and make headgear for you both."
Seeing Lu Lili's gaze, Jiang Yan wiped the blood stains on the pheasant's body, and then put the pheasant in Lu Linlin's backpack.
"Really! Sister Yan, you're so good! ”
Hearing this, Lu Lili jumped up excitedly in an instant, and the hand that grabbed Jiang Yan kept shaking, and even Lu Linlin's eyes lit up on the side.
"Hunting and hunting."
Lu Lili's enthusiasm made Jiang Yan a little happy, recalling her appearance last night, Jiang Yan still preferred Lu Lili's current appearance.
Maybe because of last night's conversation, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that his relationship with the Lu family sisters was closer, although they were obedient before, they always felt that there was some estrangement in their hearts, but now it is completely different, the looming estrangement disappeared, and the tenderness hidden in the bones finally made Jiang Yan feel something.
After working at the foot of the mountain for nearly a whole day, Jiang Yan gained a lot, Zhao Dabai and Kaka had a full meal on this trip, and Jiang Yan and others also filled a basket.
Not only picked a variety of wild vegetables along the way, Jiang Yan also hunted several prey of different sizes, in addition to a few pheasants, Jiang Yan also caught some rabbits and five blue-green bird eggs, it happened that the eggs at home were also hatching, curiosity drove Jiang Yan to hatch these bird eggs.
With a large bag and a small wrap, Jiang Yan and the others took advantage of the twilight to return to the farm and poured out the fruits in the backpack, and Jiang Yan and the three of them divided them into categories.
Because of the previous mushroom poisoning, this time Jiang Yan did not pick any mushrooms, but instead targeted all kinds of wild vegetables, such as dandelions, mountain celery, and camelina, which filled a backpack.
These wild vegetables don't need to be cooked too carefully, and they can even be eaten raw, which makes the ginger smoke a lot more convenient when the seasoning is scarce.
The pheasants and rabbits that followed were put by ginger smoke and disposed of next to the well.
The four pheasants caught, Jiang Yan plucked all the tail feathers of the pheasant, the pheasant's tail feathers are slender and beautiful, which is most suitable for making some decorations, pluck out all the tail feathers, Jiang Yan handed it to Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.
In the process of hunting, Lu Lili also wanted to catch and raise a few pheasants because of their gorgeous appearance, but the pheasants' movements were too sensitive, and they flew away if they were careless, so that the last pheasants were shot to death by Kaka.
After a simple disembowelment, Jiang Yan disposed of it, then sealed the chicken in a plastic bag, and then placed the bag in a leather basket in the well.
In the countryside in summer, in the absence of refrigerators, if you want to store food, you can only put food in the well, the temperature in the well is only about ten degrees, in this case, the average meat can be stored for more than three days.
The handling of rabbits is also simpler, plucking the rabbit skin, simply emptying the internal organs, and then putting the rabbit meat into the well according to the method just now.
After all this, Jiang Yan cleaned his oily hands, and then carried a hare, ready to serve it as today's dinner.
I have eaten too many rabbits in the past two days, so that Jiang Yan has stored a large number of rabbit skins, counting those that have been processed before, Jiang Yan can make a rabbit skin coat for the winter as long as he eats some more rabbits.
Nail the rabbit skin to the wooden board, Jiang Yan took out the dagger and hung up the impurities on it.
"Linlin, light the stove pit and eat rabbit meat tonight."
Instructed Lu Linlin to light the stove pit, Jiang Yan took out the bird eggs in his backpack, except for the one that was crushed during the journey, Jiang Yan put the remaining four blue-green bird eggs into the seedling box, checked the temperature, and gently covered the quilt.
"What kind of birds will hatch?"
Walking out of the door, Jiang Yan was very curious.
