Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

In fact, the way they caught rabbits today was very stupid. In his previous life, Li Guohua had done a lot of fishing and trapping rabbits.

The correct way is to bring a bamboo cage or a wire net, leave two rabbit holes unblocked, light a fire in one hole to create smoke, and put a net or bamboo cage in the other hole. The rabbits will be scared and run out, so you can catch them directly.

In this situation, either the rabbits are too scared to come out, or they rush out in a swarm and try to escape for their lives.

"There's a rabbit! There's a rabbit! Buddy, we've got meat for today!" Yan Jiecheng, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, suddenly shouted excitedly.

It turned out that he found a rabbit at the entrance of the cave and was choking. He wanted to get out, but was blocked by Yan Jiecheng at the entrance. He was so scared that he dared not go out.

Li Guohua looked at the excited Yan Jiecheng and couldn't help but smile.

Concentrating his mind, Li Guohua finally "saw" the figure of a rabbit deep in the cave. It was a very large gray rabbit, weighing about 4-5 kilograms. As soon as a thought flashed through his mind, the rabbit at the cave entrance disappeared.

The hole was quite big, and the rabbits inside were probably all from the same family. Li Guohua collected two large rabbits weighing 4-5 jin, five half-grown rabbits weighing about 2-3 jin, and eleven small rabbits as big as fists. He did not "see" any other rabbits.

Of course he didn't collect them all, he also left two rabbits weighing about three pounds.

After all, it was Yan Jiecheng who brought me here. If I took them all, I would feel a little sorry for him. So I would keep two, one for each of us. Even if he doesn't give them to me, I won't suffer any loss.

After waiting for a while, the two rabbits still didn't come out. I saw Yan Jiecheng was still blowing smoke, making himself look very ugly.

Li Guohua didn't want to wait any longer, so he spat on his hands, waved the shovel, and started digging frantically. After digging for about ten minutes, he finally dug into the hole. The two rabbits must have been smoked for too long, and they were lying on the ground and no longer jumping.

Yan Jiecheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the rabbits, and immediately hit the two rabbits on the head with a stone, making them bloody.

"Hahaha, I can't escape now! After eating cabbage and corn noodles for half a month, I can finally eat meat today!" Yan Jiecheng picked up the rabbit, gestured to Li Guohua, and laughed.

The two rested for a while and looked around again, but found nothing.

Yan Jiecheng must have been eyeing this cave for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to catch it so accurately.

The two men packed up their tools, washed them at the river, stuffed the two rabbits into a cloth bag, and set off on their way home.

Yan Jiecheng was very excited along the way and talked nonstop, from his time in elementary school to his job as a porter after graduation. He almost mentioned that his father wore red pants.

"Guohua, here, one for each of us!" Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, handing over a rabbit.

Finally, when they were about to enter the city, Yan Jiecheng handed over one of the rabbits.

"Okay! Thank you Brother Jie Cheng!" Li Guohua took it with a smile.

He had originally prepared himself mentally that if the other party didn't give it to him, he would just consider it as the cost of bringing him here, but the favor he had done before would be gone.

However, since the other party is willing to give it to me, I am willing to continue this friendship and don’t mind lending a hand if I have any difficulties in the future.

"What are you talking about? We two brothers came out together to catch rabbits, so we have to share it equally!" Yan Jiecheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

In fact, Yan Jiecheng's heart was bleeding. In those days when everyone was hungry, meat was so precious that you couldn't buy it even with money.

The more people work, the less oil and water they eat, and the more they eat. But in this era of unified marketing and purchase, in order to control material consumption, all purchases require receipts.

Meat was naturally one of them. According to regulations, each person was only allowed a few taels of meat tickets per month.

A rabbit weighing three kilograms can produce at least one kilogram of meat, which is enough to cover the food supply for most of the year.

The reason why they were willing to give Li Guohua a rabbit was, firstly, because Li Guohua had made great efforts in catching rabbits here, and secondly, the third uncle kept nagging them every day, saying that Li Guohua in the backyard had graduated from a technical secondary school and was a cadre, so he had a bright future and they must make friends with him and not offend him.

"Here, put the rabbit in there so that no one else will know what it is!" Yan Jiecheng took out a patched rag bag from his cloth bag like a magic trick.

Li Guohua took the cloth bag, put the rabbit in it, and carried it in his hands. It was so light that no one could tell what was inside from the outside.

As expected of the Third Uncle, he has considered every possible situation.

After returning to the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng reminded them not to tell anyone else where they were caught, and Li Guohua naturally agreed.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to 24 days in the small space world, which is a full month.

Rabbits will reproduce a litter every 1-2 months, and each litter can contain 1-15 rabbits. So, in less than half a month (outside time), you can establish your own rabbit kingdom.

When I got home, Camellia was the only one at home doing homework.

"Second brother, what are you carrying?" Camellia asked curiously when she saw Li Guohua coming in.

Today, my second brother went out to play with his coworkers and said he would bring me some good food. But he came back empty-handed with only a rag bag. Chahua was very disappointed. My second brother was not as trustworthy as before.

"Hehe, second brother guessed that Camellia was thinking about eating meat!" Li Guohua said with a smile

He put down the cloth bag in his hand, walked to the stove beside him, opened the damper, added some coal balls, put on the kettle, and started to light the fire to boil water.

"I didn't!" Camellia retorted quickly, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

In this day and age, it is ignorant for children to ask for food. As a child from a poor family, Camellia has known since childhood that life is not easy, so she would naturally not do that.

"Well, the rabbits that my second brother worked so hard to catch can only be eaten by him! There are so many, how can he finish them all?" Li Guohua took out the rabbits from the cloth bag, pretended to be helpless, and sighed.

"Wow! What a fat rabbit! I want to eat it!"

Camellia didn't bother to do her homework anymore. She rushed over and stared at the rabbit, her eyes starting to shine.

After a while, the water on the stove boiled, and Li Guohua prepared to deal with the rabbit himself.

As time went by, mother Chen Lan became more and more frugal in managing the household, and the preferential treatment that Li Guohua had received before was no longer available.

According to my mother, I should save money for my elder brother and myself to get married, and not spend money recklessly.

I finally got a rabbit today, so I have to take care of it now while my mother is not at home. Otherwise, she might feel sorry for the money and sell it (exchange it).

In his previous life, Grandpa had taken Li Guohua to take care of this thing. Generally speaking, there are two ways to eat it. One is to peel the skin and eat the meat directly, and the other is to remove the hair and eat it with the skin.

For people who lack oil and water for a long time, what is better than skin? It is smooth and elastic. Moreover, rabbit meat with skin tastes more flexible, tender and crisp, because the collagen under the skin can provide a rich taste and increase the satisfaction of food.

Pour the boiled water into the porcelain basin, and then the plucking process will begin.

Lift the rabbit's hind legs and soak the whole rabbit in hot water. Take it out and wipe along its fur, and the wild rabbit hair will fall off.

Then use scissors to cut the rabbit's hind legs, remove the internal organs neatly, and wash it several times with clean water. Soon the rabbit will be ready.

Chop the rabbit into small pieces, marinate it with salt and cooking wine for a while, then go to Xu Damao's house next door to pick some ginger and garlic. This guy went to the countryside to show movies, so he didn't have much else but these things, and the door was hung all over.

He told Li Guohua more than once that if he wanted to eat, he should take it himself and he should not be polite. All that was left was to heat up the oil in the pan. Even if we were criticized for this braised rabbit meat tonight, we would definitely eat it.
