The happy little days of the Ye family

The end of the year is the time to eat mutton as a tonic. The mutton pots, mutton pots and roasted lamb legs in major restaurants are particularly popular.

More and more people are eating mutton, and the price of mutton in winter has also risen a lot.

After the autumn harvest, the price of mutton increased a lot. Tang Xiaojing dug many traps specifically to catch wild goats in areas where wild goats often appeared in the mountains.

Shopkeeper Liang of the Liang Family Restaurant recently held a mutton feast as a gimmick to attract customers.

For a mutton feast, there will naturally be a lot of mutton.

Tang Xiaojing usually delivers the prey he catches in the mountains to the Liang family restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liang knew that there were many wild goats on the hill where Tang Xiaojing lived.

Therefore, shopkeeper Liang specially asked Tang Xiaojing to help hunt some wild goats, preferably alive.

I don’t know if it’s a matter of soil quality, but there are very few tall trees in Rabbit Mountain, and they are all short miscellaneous trees. The most abundant rabbit grass on the mountain is lush rabbit grass.

Not only rabbits like to eat this rabbit grass, but wild goats also like it.

In addition, there are no ferocious big guys like wolves and wild boars on the mountain. In the past two years, there have been more and more wild goats and wild rabbits in Rabbit Mountain.

Tang Xiaojing knew that there was a habit of eating mutton as a tonic in autumn and winter here, and the price of wild goats was relatively high at this time.

Before autumn, Tang Xiaojing deliberately did not catch the wild goats on the mountain, and planned to save them for the end of the year.

Tang Xiaojing wandered around Rabbit Mountain for a whole morning, and finally found a place where rabbit grass was the most luxuriant.

Tang Xiaojing also found fresh sheep dung nearby, and there was a lot of it.

Tang Xiaojing was very happy, "This place is good. There is so much sheep dung. If you dig a trap here, you will definitely catch wild goats."

Since returning to Taohua Village, Tang Xiaojing has been either digging traps in the mountains or collecting herbs every day. As for digging traps, he can do it even with his eyes closed.

Tang Xiaojing dug six traps nearby. Shopkeeper Liang wanted live wild goats, but Tang Xiaojing did not add sharp bamboo sticks to the bottom of the traps.

Just dig the trap deeper so that the wild goat will not fall to death, but it will not be able to climb out.

After digging the trap, Tang Xiaojing disguised the trap and put a lot of rabbit grass on top of the trap.

After digging the trap, it was already late and there was no time to rush back for lunch.

Tang Xiaojing casually shot a wild rabbit, which was his lunch.

There was a spring not far away, and Tang Xiaojing took the rabbit to the spring to deal with the rabbit.

The rabbit kept turning in the fire, and the fat slowly seeped out, giving off a rich barbecue smell.

After a while, Da Huang and Xiao Huang jumped out excitedly.

"You two guys are the most active when eating."

Xiao Huang came over with a half-dead pheasant in his mouth and placed the pheasant at Tang Xiaojing's feet.

Xiao Huang glanced at Tang Xiaojing and signaled him to quickly roast the pheasant.

Then Dahuang also placed a fat rabbit at Tang Xiaojing's feet and looked at Tang Xiaojing eagerly.

Rhubarb and Xiaohuang have been eating cooked meat since they were young. They have become accustomed to cooked meat and do not like eating raw meat.

"Okay, okay, roast them all for you. You are really two little ancestors." Tang Xiaojing couldn't stand the eager looks in Dahuang and Xiaohuang's eyes.

Tang Xiaojing inserted the wooden stick next to the fire. The rabbit was a little far away from the fire, so it could be roasted without being easily scorched.

Tang Xiaojing took the rabbit to the spring to deal with it. Two rabbits should be enough to eat. Tang Xiaojing planned to keep the pheasant and take it home to eat.

Tang Xiaojing carried the cleaned rabbit. When he came back, Dahuang and Xiaohuang were squatting on both sides of the roasted rabbit.

Rhubarb would come closer and smell it from time to time, and his saliva would almost drip onto the rabbit.

Tang Xiaojing quickly scolded: "Rhubarb is not good, just look at it, don't eat it secretly."

Tang Xiaojing patted Rhubarb's big head and drove it away to prevent this greedy guy from eating it.

Tang Xiaojing broke off a branch and stuck it on the rabbit, then roasted it. He took the half-roasted rabbit and continued roasting it.

After one person and two dogs had eaten and drank enough, Tang Xiaojing took Dahuang and Xiaohuang to check out the medicinal fields on the mountain.

The soil quality of Rabbit Mountain is average, so Tang Xiaojing only planted some common and good herbs on the mountain.

The herbs on the mountain were basically planted by Tang Xiaojing the year before last.

While wandering around the mountains in the morning, Tang Xiaojing noticed that most of the herbs on the mountains were ripe and ready for harvesting.

There are many wild goats, rabbits and deer on the mountain. Tang Xiaojing usually relies on these small animals on the mountain to exchange money, so he has not planted all the herbs on the mountain.

Moreover, many mountain people can prepare common herbs. If there are too many herbs, the Wang Family Pharmacy may not be able to eat them.

Tang Xiaojing opened several medicinal fields on the top of the mountain. He was afraid that someone would come up the mountain to steal the medicinal herbs, so he dug many traps around them.

The two puppies that Xiao Huang gave birth to before have now grown into half-grown wolfdogs.

Two little puppies were raised by Tang Xiaojing in Rabbit Mountain to take care of the medicine fields on the mountain.

The Tang family's rabbit shed and pig pen were both at the foot of Stone Mountain, and the family's long-term workers also lived at the foot of Stone Mountain. Tang Xiaojing did not raise dogs on Stone Mountain.

However, Tang Xiaojing felt that people were still not as alert as wolves and dogs. If Xiao Huang gave birth to a puppy next time, Tang Xiaojing planned to raise the puppy on the stone mountain.

After all, the most valuable things on the mountain are those dendrobium trees.

Tang Xiaojing picked half of the medicinal herbs on the top of the mountain, and planted the remaining half later. Tang Xiaojing planned to pick them again after the new year.

The herbs are all small, and half of the medicinal field only has two baskets in total.

Tang Xiaojing put the basket on his back and went to check the newly dug trap in the morning.

From afar, Tang Xiaojing heard movement in the trap, and Dahuang and Xiaohuang ran over with a hiss.

Tang Xiaojing was overjoyed. Seeing Dahuang and Xiaohuang so excited, there must be big guys.

Three of the six traps were destroyed, and one of them did not catch the prey. It was probably because it escaped.

Of the two remaining traps, one contained a wild goat and the other contained a deer.

The wild goats and deer in the trap did not fall into the trap for a long time and only suffered minor injuries on their legs, but they were not serious.

Tang Xiaojing jumped into the trap, skillfully tied up the wild goats and deer, and then took them out of the trap.

Tang Xiaojing took the herbs, wild goats and deer to the oxcart at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the sun had just set on the top of the mountain.

Seeing that it was still early, Tang Xiaojing went to Rabbit Mountain again and checked the traps in other places.

Then Tang Xiaojing harvested several rabbits and a wild goat with a broken leg.

Tang Xiaojing simply bandaged the wild goat's broken leg, and then carried the wild goat down the mountain.

The two wild goats and deer were both alive, with only minor injuries. It would be no problem to raise them until tomorrow and take them to the Liang Family Restaurant.

Unfortunately, several hares have died and can only be made into wax rabbits to be eaten in the spring when the farmers are busy.
