Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 161
At the end of June, the weather on the Loess Plateau became hotter and hotter.

After patrolling the paddy fields, Wang Manyin's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, so he simply went to find a shady place under the earth dam and spread a plastic sheet to rest.

Yesterday Wang Mantun took several people from the village to visit and study in Liujiawan.Liu Xiangyang served as the driver for the whole journey, and it took at least two days to go back and forth.

Without the walking tractor, naturally there is no way to water the rice fields, and Wang Manyin is completely at ease.In fact, there is no shortage of moisture in the rice field of more than ten acres, and it can be watered once every three to five days, so there is no delay in the matter.

It is cool under the earth dam, and there is a little wind blowing.

After a while, Wang Manyin felt drowsy...

Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, and he was about to get up and go home, but he saw Da Huang running towards him.

This guy had a big bird with taupe feathers in his mouth, and he caught it from nowhere.Seeing the owner, it immediately put the prey on the ground, and then wagged its tail.

At first, Wang Manyin thought he had caught a pheasant.

As a result, the next moment, he sat up straight and stared at the prey under his feet with wide eyes.

Sharp hook-shaped mouth, wide wings, tawny toes and claws, and a little blood on the white feathers in front of the abdomen... Nima, this looks like a pigeon tiger!
Pigeon tiger is the local name near Shige Festival, and its scientific name is peregrine falcon.If this thing is left in later generations, and the animals are properly protected, there will be problems if they are hunted and killed at will.

Seeing peregrine falcons on the Loess Plateau, Wang Manyin was not surprised at all.Because the original Xixian County was called Diaoyin in ancient times, the source of the name is "there are many carving caves in the mountains, so it is named Diaoyin".

There are not only peregrine falcons, but also grasshopper hawks, golden eagles, kestrels and other predatory birds.

The key is that Rhubarb was able to catch a peregrine falcon! ?

Looking at the motionless guy on the ground, Wang Manyin couldn't believe his eyes.

As for catching pheasants and quails, it was within the normal range.The peregrine falcon can be called the overlord of the sky, how could it be captured by rhubarb.

Curious, Wang Manyin stretched out his hands to grab the body of the prey, only to smell a stench from this guy, the wings and abdomen showed wounds, bleeding pus, as if he had been wounded by an earthen gun.

At this moment, a few flies were attracted to buzz around.

And when he checked, he found that this guy hadn't been bitten to death by rhubarb, and there was still a rough breathing sound from his throat.After all, it is blessed with the status of protecting animals... After thinking about it, Wang Manyin decided to temporarily throw it into the space.

After looking around for no one, he took rhubarb and disappeared.

Now that we entered the space, we simply prepared lunch early.Wang Manyin cut a catty of bacon and put it in a jar, then broke two corn cobs and added water to stew it.

Then he lit a fire and added two jujube roots to the pot.This thing is fire-resistant, and it can burn for at least half an hour.

Ever since Lanhua went to the supply and marketing cooperative to learn sewing, Wang Manyin usually cooks lunch in the space.

After finishing all this, he took rhubarb home.

Not long after, customers came to the door. They were two educated youths from Shuangshui Village.

Their life is much happier than that of the rural commune members. They are given 36 catties of food every month, as well as oil tickets and meat tickets, plus seven yuan for living expenses.

Many parents in the city are afraid that their children will suffer, so they will send money and tickets by mail every now and then.

So Wang Manyin was very enthusiastic when he saw the educated youth coming to the door. After all, these people are high-quality customers of the consignment point.Every time I come here, I always buy something with an anise.

Almost all the cakes that Wang Manyin brought back from the commune went into their stomachs.

After dealing with two educated youths, someone came over with half a bag of sun-dried peach kernels.

Then there are a few broken babies selling scorpions, and some buying salt with eggs...

After dealing with more than a dozen waves of guests, almost an hour passed.

After waiting for another half an hour, Wang Manyin locked the cave door when no one came again.

With a piece of rag in his hand, he brought Rhubarb and two cats to Gelao next to the pigsty, and disappeared in a flash.

Every time they enter the space, the two cats are extremely excited.After the two guys yelled twice, they quickly ran to the pond and squatted to guard.

Soon, they each caught a fish and went ashore, hid beside them and ate it quietly.

When Wang Manyin walked to the stove, he could only feel the aroma of meat and corn coming out of his nostrils.He picked up his chopsticks and poked it. The bacon had been stewed very badly.

Before eating, arrange the rhubarb first.

Wang Manyin poured a lot of meat and soup into the bowl, added half a bowl of bran, and threw another nest.

Then, he sat down at the stone table and began to eat deliciously.

Today the space conditions have been greatly improved.For the convenience of daily life, Wang Manyin not only rebuilt the stove, but also got two big stones to serve as tables and chairs.

After finishing half a can of broth with corn on the cob, he got his belly rounded, got up and walked towards the melon field again.As far as these melon seedlings are concerned, Wang Manyin and Lan Hua have eaten at least thirty or forty melons since the beginning of spring.Of course, most of it went into his mouth.

And depending on the condition of the vine seedlings, there should be a lot of knots.

Wang Manyin randomly picked a melon, rubbed it on the gown, and then opened his mouth to chew it.

It is as sweet as ever, and directly suppresses the greasiness completely.

Just as he was about to leave, he glanced at the watermelon seedlings planted next to him.

But within ten days, the watermelon seedling has grown to more than one meter long, and flower buds have grown on several forks.The watermelon should also be topped, otherwise the melon will not sit on the long seedlings.

Wang Manyin has operated melon seedlings according to the book before, so he is very familiar with this set of procedures.After three or two strokes, the melon head will be cleaned.

Afterwards, he came to the scorpion pond again.

This is also the focus of Wang Manyin's attention. After all, breeding scorpions can be regarded as the only source of income for his family.

Recently, he has stocked two or three hundred scorpions in it one after another.

As soon as they stepped into the sweet potato field, many grasshoppers were startled, kicking their legs and jumping into the air.

Although they continue to be preyed on by scorpions, their numbers don't seem to have decreased much.This situation was also expected by Wang Manyin.

Because grasshoppers are very capable of flying, a mere ditch cannot stop them from foraging.

This saves a lot of trouble, and I don't have to feed the scorpion group every day.

However, for the sake of safety, Wang Manyin deliberately lifted a few stones to check.The condition is good, scorpions can be seen under almost every stone, and they look very alive.

Some female scorpions carried a large number of young scorpions on their backs. After the stone was uncovered, they immediately ran away in panic.

Being able to reproduce means that the scorpion has completely adapted to the space environment.

This situation made Wang Manyin a little excited.

We can definitely look forward to the future... When spring starts next year, there may be thousands or even tens of thousands of scorpions here.

After inspecting the space for a week, Wang Manyin was about to return to the outside world when he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.

Turning his head, he saw two cats meowing around a gray-brown guy, and then he remembered that he had planned to eat to save the peregrine falcon, but he forgot all about it.

After driving the two cats aside, Wang Manyin reached out and shook the wings of the downstream falcon.

I have to admit, this guy's vitality is really tenacious.They were all injured like this, but they still didn't die.

He found a clean crock from the space, filled it with water, and put the prepared rags in it to boil and sterilize.

For the sake of safety, Wang Manyin first tied the peregrine's mouth and toes with a rope.In doing so, he was mainly afraid that during the treatment process, this guy would suddenly wake up and attack him.

After making preparations, Wang Manyin put the knife under the stove and roasted it to eliminate the bacteria on it.

Repeated several times, the tip of the knife became red.

When it felt almost done, he put it in the jar to cool down.

Then, the knife was officially used to clean up the carrion on the peregrine falcon's body.

As a result, as soon as a knife was cut on the wing, the guy woke up in pain and struggled to escape.It's a pity that the mouth and both feet are tied to death, and it can't break free at all.

After a while, he closed his eyes again and passed out.

It took about ten minutes for Wang Manyin to finally clean up the two places of rotting flesh.He didn't take out the crushed chloramphenicol tablets until the wound oozed blood, and sprinkled it again.

These medicines were secretly saved by myself when typhus broke out in spring.It has been kept until now, and I don't know if it has expired.

But for this guy, anti-inflammatory drugs are better than nothing.

Next, Wang Manyin took out the boiled rag and dried it, wrapped it around the falcon's wound several times, and tied two knots.

There are ready-made wicker cages in the space, which can be used as a nest for peregrine falcons.In order to prevent this guy from dying of thirst and starvation after waking up, he put half a can of spring water in the cage, plus a dozen large grasshoppers that had been crushed to death.

After it was over, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

I did everything I had to do, and I did my best.

Whether this guy can live or not is left to fate.

Ever since he found out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, in order to ensure nutrition, Wang Manyin changed his cooking methods.

Before leaving the space, he caught a dozen freshwater prawns from the pond, and planned to make steamed prawns for Lanhua at night.

I didn't make too much, just enough to eat.

Wang Manyin became a rice field manager, and it was much easier to eat fish.

In addition to the space, Wang Manyin walked towards Dongshan Mao because it was not too early.

In the afternoon, he dug a section of canal, guessing that his mother-in-law would come back soon, so he called off work early.

When the sound came from the side of the field, Wang Manyin had already cleaned up the prawns and steamed them on the pan.

Seeing that Lan Hua came back alone, he couldn't help asking: "Where is Shaoan, did you come with me?"

"Send me to the intersection and leave,"

Lan Hua replied and sat down on the chair again.

Since pregnancy, the whole person is particularly prone to fatigue.After walking seven or eight miles, I felt a sore waist.

"You are tired, you rest first, the meal will be ready soon. I caught a few shrimps in the rice field in the afternoon, and steamed them for dinner at night."

After explaining, Wang Manyin went back to the stove to make the sauce.It's also simple to make, just slap some minced ginger, onion and garlic, and then put some soy sauce and vinegar on the plate.

By the time he brought the food to the table, the sky had completely darkened.

The freshwater prawns produced in the space are naturally of extraordinary quality and do not have a strong fishy smell.

It's just simple cooking, but there is an indescribable freshness and smoothness in the mouth.

Lanhua retched a few times, and soon began to eat with relish.Ever since she got married, she has always felt like a dream, completely falling into the nest of happiness.

Even if I searched the entire Shigejie Commune, I am afraid that no husband would do this to his wife.
