Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 9 Eat rabbits and catch fish with a fish basket

Liu Ping'an was carrying things and didn't meet anyone along the way.

I only saw a manure truck heading towards the village entrance.

Nowadays, feces is not a cheap thing, it is a treasure that can provide food.

Even if you want to buy feces, you need a feces ticket.

Most of the manure tickets are public property. For example, the manure tickets in Qinjia Village are only available to production teams, and the manure truck just now belongs to the production team.

Liu Ping'an returned home, but the others had not returned yet.

He tied up the rabbit and pheasant together with hemp rope and threw them in the kitchen.

He walked in the mountains for an entire afternoon. Although drinking the spiritual spring water improved his health, he was still very tired.

Back in the cabin bedroom, he fell asleep with his head resting on the pillow.

Liu Ping'an didn't wake up until he heard the sound of hustle and bustle outside.

"This sound should be grandma and the others coming back."

Liu Ping'an got up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and walked out of the hut.

He immediately saw the women and children in the house, each holding a handful of wild vegetables in their hands, happily talking and laughing as they pushed open the wooden door.

It looks like a good harvest.

Zhang Guifang walked in front holding Liu Lele's little hand. As soon as she came in, she saw Liu Ping'an.

"Ping An, come and take your sister away. She has been talking about you all afternoon."

There was no need for Liu Ping'an to come over. Liu Lele excitedly let go of his brother when he saw him, ran over with his short legs, and held Liu Ping'an's legs tightly.

"Will Lele behave well when he goes out this afternoon?"

Liu Ping'an rubbed his sister's hair, then hugged Lele in his arms and pinched her tender little face.

"Le Le is so well behaved that he didn't even follow his brothers to catch grasshoppers."

Liu Ping'an looked up at Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao who walked in rubbing their buttocks, and couldn't help laughing again.

It was obvious that these two boys were playing mischief outside and were discovered by the adults, who gave them a good spanking.

We don't have to worry about human traffickers these days.

I can’t even get enough to eat, where can I give the stolen goods to?

It was obvious that these two brats were playing in dangerous places without paying attention to safety.

"Ping An, did you have a good rest this afternoon?"

Grandma handed the basket to aunt, and aunt, third aunt and two younger sisters happily walked towards the kitchen with the wild vegetables.

"Now that you've had a good rest, grandma, are there any wild vegetables around the village?"

Liu Ping'an was a little confused. During these three years of drought, how could wild vegetables be so resilient?

After one crop is cut, another crop grows back.

Perpetual motion machine?

"There were no wild vegetables nearby, so we walked a little further than before and only found these wild vegetables a few hundred meters outside the village."

As she said this, grandma became a little worried again.

This situation is not too good either, as the growing conditions for wild vegetables do not need to be too good.

But the wild vegetables that were found before have not grown again, which means that the drought is not over yet.

If Liu Ping'an heard his grandmother's guess, he would definitely give her a thumbs up.

This is the wisdom of farmers.

Some people in the city said that it would be over soon. If Liu Ping'an hadn't traveled through time, they would probably have believed it.

The amount of water pumped out by the water pump in the courtyard every day is half less than last year.

Not to mention the rural areas without wells.

Speaking of wells, many abandoned wells have been drilled all over the country in the past three years. There are also two abandoned wells in Qinjia Village, and there is no water in them.

I heard from the village chief that those technicians were punished when they returned.

"It's okay, grandma. We still have a water storage dam. I heard that they will be digging wells on a large scale soon. Maybe we can dig out a well."

"Forget it. I didn't hit it last year."

Grandma doesn't really trust those technicians. She thinks they are not as educated as herself.

Digging a well is so difficult.

At this moment, Zhang Guifang's scream suddenly came from the kitchen.

"Why are there hares and pheasants in the house?"

As soon as she said this, her grandmother immediately looked at Liu Ping'an, and her mother Zhang Guifang's voice came with joy: "Son, did you catch it?"

Zhang Guifang ran out carrying a hare and a pheasant, followed by a crowd of curious and happy people.

Liu Ping'an didn't keep anyone in suspense.

When grandma and the others came back, they didn't see grandpa and the others.

Otherwise I wouldn't be so surprised.

Liu Ping'an slightly elaborated on the story of how he caught a wild rabbit and a pheasant in the mountains, which made Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao very excited.

"Brother is really amazing. The hunters in the village have not had any harvest in the mountains for a long time."

Xiaoyan knew a lot, and she knew that based on Liu Ping'an's personality, there would definitely be delicious food tonight.

She was so happy that her eyes narrowed with smiles.

"But I gave two pheasants to the villagers to help them replenish their bodies..."

"Ping An has done a good job, and the rewards should be shared with the villagers."

When grandma heard that Ping'an gave two chickens to the villagers, she smiled with relief.

"That's right. Qinjia Village is full of good people. Unlike other places where there are ruffians and scoundrels, such villagers should unite well."

Seeing that his family all agreed, Liu Pingan said happily, "Grandma, let Grandpa and the others come back to eat tonight. Kill all the wild rabbits and pheasants."

"Eating meat again?!"

Grandma was speechless. Usually they would go to the commune canteen to eat and have some wild vegetable porridge and pickles to fill their stomachs.

As a result, as soon as the eldest grandson came back, he had meat for every meal.

But grandma knew that although Liu Ping'an looked gentle, he actually had a stubborn personality.

If you don't do it yourself, you have to do it for peace of mind.

My eldest grandson is so tired after going into the mountains, and he still has to cook. What’s the use of me as a grandmother?

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and let these people enjoy your blessing."

Grandma flicked her sleeves, looked at the people around her who were looking expectant, and announced the good news.

The eldest aunt, the third aunt, the two younger sisters and brother, as well as Lele in Liu Ping'an's arms, all clapped with joy. Even Zhang Guifang, who loved her son dearly, looked at Ping'an proudly.

"This is my son. He has a bright future ahead of him, and he always thinks about his family."

It’s not scary if the offspring are stupid, but it’s scary if they are ungrateful and spendthrift.

The Liu family has a good family tradition and has not had this kind of problem yet. With a promising person like Liu Ping'an, the family's prosperity is just around the corner.

Knowing that there would be food in the evening, everyone started working excitedly.

Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao went to take care of Lele as usual, while Xiaoxia and Xiaoyan went to process the wild vegetables they brought back and store them well.

Aunt Eldest, Third Aunt and Zhang Guifang went into the kitchen and started to prepare the hare and pheasant.

Grandma walked out of the house and asked others for some seasoning.

According to my grandmother, "The smell of rabbit is the strongest, and it cannot be suppressed without adding some spices."

If it's not prepared well, you won't have an appetite when you eat it.

Everyone was busy, but Liu Ping'an had nothing to do.

"Oh, right, the fishing net."

Liu Ping'an suddenly remembered the fishing net he saw in the moat, but he didn't know if it could be used.

"Let's not make a fishing net for now, let's make a fish basket instead."

The fish basket Liu Ping'an mentioned is not just a basket for placing fish.

This is a device for catching fish. It can be placed in the water. Putting some fishy meat in it will attract fish and shrimp.

It is easy to get into this fish basket but difficult to get out.

It's like putting a light bulb in your mouth. It's easy to put it in, but very difficult to take it out.

It's all the same principle.

Liu Ping'an did what he said and pulled up a lot of weeds and branches on the mountain.

There is also high-quality forage grass in the Lingquan space, which can be used to make simple fish baskets.

Liu Ping'an took out the things and put them in the yard. He sat on a small stool and started weaving a fish basket.
