Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 25

After inspecting the entire space, Wang Manyin confirmed that it had indeed grown larger.Although the side length has only increased by half a meter, it is still tens of square meters after careful calculation.

But it made him a little confused, and he didn't know what the reason for the space growth was.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, Wang Manyin took off his padded jacket and continued digging in only his linen.

After two or three hours of busy work, it was estimated that it would be noon before returning outside.

When he first appeared in the cave, his whole body trembled.

No way, the temperature difference is too big.

Fortunately, he is in good health. If it were an ordinary person tossing back and forth, he probably caught a cold early.

Seemingly hearing movement in the cave, Rhubarb rushed out of the door immediately, clasped its claws on the door panel, and kept screaming for joy.

What's wrong with this guy?
Wang Manyin opened the cave door with doubts.

"Woo, woo..." Rhubarb wagged his tail a few times, lowered his head and sniffed in front of the door, exuding an aura of excitement.

It was only at this time that Wang Manyin noticed that there were seven or eight dead sparrows lying on the snow at the entrance of the cave.

No need to guess, it must have been caught by a local dog.

He discovered earlier that this guy is much smarter than ordinary dogs.For his own orders, Rhubarb can understand them accurately in many cases.

Even more amazing, this guy is also a good mouse catcher.There used to be a lot of mice in the house, and at night, it was like a war in the cave, chirping non-stop, and they could make a fuss most of the night.

Since rhubarb came, several mice died every now and then.

Over the past month, at least ten have been caught.

This guy seems to know that the owner doesn't like it to eat mice, and every time he catches them, he puts them at the cave entrance to show off and ask for credit.

In the past few days, Wang Manyin has not heard any rats in the cave dwelling.

He originally considered raising a cat, but now he has saved a ration.

Since rhubarb can catch mice, it is reasonable and reasonable to catch sparrows, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But after all, it was a little too little, not worth braised in soy sauce, so Wang Manyin decided to have a barbecue sparrow.

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately went back to the cave, boiled a pot of warm water, plucked the hairs and guts...

While going out to pour dirty water, Wang Manyin finally saw clearly how Rhubarb caught the sparrow.

It's snowing today, and the sparrows can't find anything to eat in the wild, so they can only fly to the village to find it.There is also a group of locust trees in front of my house.

This guy put his food bowl in front of the dog hole and lay down in the den to guard it.

When a sparrow flew down to eat, it suddenly jumped...

Soon, firewood rose in the space and slowly roasted.

On the wooden sticks erected, the skin of a few sparrows turned burnt yellow, smelling like oil.

I didn't use any seasoning, just sprinkled some pepper and salt to taste.

Even so, Wang Manyin felt that the fragrance was overflowing.

Feeling almost done, he grabbed one and blew on it.

The heat is just right, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, and a spicy aroma lingers on the tip of the tongue.

It crumbles as soon as you chew it, and even the bones are crispy, much like the fried chicken of later generations.

The only regret is that the meat is a little less.

After eating two of them, Wang Manyin stopped his hands with unsatisfied intentions.

However, his appetite was completely whetted.I was thinking about taking rhubarb for a walk around the plateau in the afternoon, to see if I could catch a hare and pheasant to satisfy my hunger.

Anyway, on a snowy day, idleness is idleness, and you can't always be busy in the space.

Combining work and rest is the last word.

He didn't eat the other roasted sparrows, so he took them outside.

As a hero, rhubarb naturally couldn't be treated badly, and two of them were kept in the food bowl.

He planned to send the rest to Wang Qiusheng's house, so that the other party could have a taste.

The last time Xiaoshi ate raw sparrow meat, Wang Manyin still can't forget... There is only so much he can do.

After crossing the deep ditch, Wang Manyin stood outside the courtyard and yelled a few times before Wang Qiusheng went out with his rice bowl.

"Man Yin is here, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, eat some." This seems to be a common greeting in northern rural areas, regardless of the occasion.

Wang Manyin still remembers going to the bathroom once in later generations, and saw the two ask each other if they had eaten.At that time, he suppressed his smile and directly peed on the fork.

He glanced at it and responded, "Brother Qiusheng, are you going to have breakfast or lunch?"

Wang Qiusheng's bowl is filled with sweet potato and corn grits, with a few slices of sauerkraut on top.

This is the ration of an adult, which is not nutritious and cannot fill the stomach.

"Now there are two meals a day, breakfast and dinner are fine." Wang Qiusheng took a bite of the hot rice before he noticed what Wang Manyin was holding.

"Brother Qiusheng, I just roasted the sparrows I caught this morning, and I'll send some to your house..." Wang Manyin said as he passed the branch over.

"What an embarrassment." Wang Qiusheng declined and quickly took it.

"It's okay, I've already eaten, you go back quickly, it's strangely cold outside."

Now that the wind was blowing, Wang Manyin felt that his padded jacket was completely cool after standing for a while, so he didn't intend to talk much.

"Wait, Man Yin, I plan to go find you after dinner, are you okay tomorrow?" Seeing that he was about to leave, Wang Qiusheng hurriedly stopped and asked.

"What's the matter this day?"

After staying with the commune members for a long time, Wang Manyin occasionally uttered a dirty word or two.

"Uncle Lian Shun came over just now and explained that we should call a few more people tomorrow and let us hunt down rabbits in the cliff ditch at the back of the village."

"Okay," Wang Manyin nodded, and then said, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow, why don't we go and find one and see if we can catch one!"

"How can the two catch them without a rabbit net. Besides, it just snowed one day, and the rabbit is not hungry yet..." Wang Qiusheng said a lot, but it actually made sense.

The main reason is the topography of the Loess Plateau. There are ditches and ridges everywhere, and there is no way to launch a sea of ​​people to chase rabbits like in the plains.

Only when the snow has been falling for several days and reaches a depth of more than ten centimeters, the hare's running is greatly restricted, and it is possible for people to catch up.

But Wang Manyin didn't believe in evil, and planned to go to the plateau to search around, in case he encountered a silly rabbit.

After returning home for lunch, he led the rhubarb and set off.

Speaking of lunch, there is no watch these days, so naturally it is not on time.

Not long after walking out of the village, I saw a string of bird tracks in the snow.It should be a pheasant... Wang Manyin immediately became excited.

It is several hundred meters away from the village, and it is impossible for the local chickens raised by the farmers to run too far.

He took rhubarb and followed the footprints all the way forward.

Soon, the earth dog let out a low whining sound.

In stock ahead!

However, before a person or a dog approached, several pheasants flew up from the bottom of the cliff ditch.

Rhubarb ran wildly, but ended up being lonely after him.

A few pheasants fluttered their wings, flew hundreds of meters away in an instant, landed on the other side of the cliff ditch and disappeared.

Not long after that, another hare was picked up.

This thing also ran very fast, Da Huang ran behind for a while, and soon returned dejectedly.

The same is true for the next few times.

There are too many ridges and ridges here, and its speed advantage cannot be exerted at all.

Seeing that there was no meat to eat, Wang Manyin was very unwilling to give up, and finally decided to go for a stroll by the Dongla River with rhubarb.

There are a lot of dry grass by the river, which is theoretically more suitable for hares to hide.

After a snowfall, the Dongla River stopped flowing completely.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can see an obvious ice belt extending into the distance.

Finding a slightly gentle snow slope, Wang Manyin took rhubarb down to the river.

It may be due to the fact that it has just snowed, but the ice surface is not blurred, and most places are still clean.

After walking along the river for a certain distance, Wang Manyin suddenly stopped and looked down at a puddle of water and ice beside him.

At the bottom of the ice, more than a dozen loaches and small fish gathered together.

Encountered a fish nest?Logically speaking, even if there are fish nests in this season, they should be in deep water.

No matter how small a sparrow is, it is still meat. Although Wang Manyin couldn't figure it out for a while, it didn't hinder the fishing.

Without saying anything, he went into the space and took out the axe, smashed the ice layer with two or three hits, then rolled up his sleeves, and stretched out his hand to pinch a loach.

This guy seemed to be frozen, only slightly squirming, not as flexible as before.

Seeing the owner busy by the puddle, Rhubarb ran away on his own.

It didn't seem to be cold at all, still sniffing in the snowdrifts.
