Chapter 85 The Magical Way to Catch Wild Goose
Next, Wang Manyin tossed and beat in the sweet potato field, and caught hundreds of locusts, big and small.That's it, there are still many fish that slipped through the net.

There was nothing he could do about it.

Nowadays, the results of space greening are very remarkable. Except for the loess soil in a few areas, the rest is basically covered by plants.

Looking around, it is lush and lush, which is very similar to the Loess Plateau decades later.

In this environment, it is almost impossible to completely clean up all the locusts.

At present, we can only control the number temporarily to prevent them from flooding, and make plans after catching frogs and sand martins in a few days.

Wang Manyin first entered the space and wanted to continue digging ponds, but in the end he completely got involved with locusts and grasshoppers.

He has no shortage of meat now, so he doesn't like these bugs at all, and he doesn't have time to roast them.

Fortunately, those chicks in the space are happy to enjoy a feast of locusts.

Seeing that it was late, he didn't continue to be busy, and hurriedly fed the poultry and livestock in the space, and then reappeared outside.

Wang Manyin was about to tidy up and go home with a pole when he suddenly heard a loud rattling sound from the platform not far away.

It seems that there are big geese calling, and the sound seems to be quite a lot.

In the Shigejie Commune, I have never heard of anyone feeding big geese.

The Loess Plateau is seriously short of water, and there has never been a habit of raising geese.

Curious, Wang Manyin followed the sound.Just after turning over two small hills, I saw a flock of big gray birds pecking at the wheat field, there were about thirty or forty birds.

wild goose? !
Isn't it? Now it's March, and it's almost the season for wild geese to fly back.

As for the hooting of geese... Domestic geese were originally domesticated from wild geese, similar to the relationship between wild boars and domestic pigs.And reproductive isolation has not yet occurred, they are basically the same animal.

The swallow didn't wait, but the geese flew back first.

But the Loess Plateau is not their final destination. These guys will fly further north after eating and drinking.

Seeing the flock of geese not far away, Wang Manyin's first reaction was that this thing could be eaten.

An adult wild goose weighs about ten catties, which is enough for a family to eat several meals.

And it can also be reproduced in space.

It's a pity that he didn't have a shotgun at hand, and he couldn't help but stare at it for a long time, so he could only sigh.

When I got home, I saw Lanhua chatting with some women and aunts in the village. Wang Manyin said hello and returned to the cave with the goods.

It was not until after work at noon that these mothers-in-law and aunts left one after another.

Without outsiders, he untied the canvas, took out the twist bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and sent it to Lanhua's mouth.

Orchid is used to this.

As long as the man goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver goods, he will bring her some food every time he comes back.Meat buns, white flour buns, salty sesame cakes, oil buns... Ever since she got married, Lan Hua has almost eaten all the pastries in the supply and marketing cooperative restaurant.

And I bought a lot, every time I have a copy from my mother's family.

The couple were eating when they suddenly heard Rhubarb screaming outside.

Lanhua reacted immediately, and hurriedly buckled the remaining twist under the pot.

Wang Manyin responded and walked out, only to find that it was Wang Lianshun and Wang Yanqiang standing beside the court.

"Uncle Lian Shun, why are you here? Is there a conclusion about the silting of the embankment?" Wang Manyin said, and welcomed the two to the side of the field, and brought a pack of cigarettes from the house to distribute.

"How can it be so fast, just that white chicken shit, it's called hell if it can be done." Wang Yanqiang replied with a curled lip.

He is now looking down on Director Zhao more and more, and in private he directly calls it white chicken shit.

On the side of the Shige Festival Commune, white chicken shit is not a good word.It means that just having a good mouth, it is like a big puddle of dick.

"Man Yin, we found a flock of wild geese falling by the Dong'e River in the morning, and we want to catch some to eat, so I don't want you to discuss it."

"Catch wild geese, how can I catch... use my rhubarb?"

This is the answer that Wang Manyin can think of.But the two of them really overestimated rhubarb, it would be enough to catch a pheasant, let alone catch a wild goose.

This kind of bird is much smarter than a pheasant. After landing, it will arrange companions to watch, even sleeping.

If there is any disturbance, the warning geese will give a sound warning, so it is difficult to approach.

"I don't use rhubarb, but I want to get needles from you. I'm fine in the afternoon, and I'll go find some horse eggs."

"Mabaodan, is it useful to use this thing?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

He does know that Ma Pao Dan looks like a pocket-sized melon, and its color is golden when it is ripe.It doesn't taste much, but it smells very fragrant, and it is one of the few wild fruits on the Loess Plateau.

However, it was the first time he heard that horse eggs could catch wild geese, and he instinctively felt that it was unreliable.

Wang Lianshun also thought it was unlikely, and asked in the same way: "That's right, Yan Qiang, are you sure that Ma Paodan can really catch wild geese? After a winter, it's hard to find Ma Paodan now. Don't make a fuss about it. You can't catch even a wild goose feather."

Horse eggs mature in autumn, after winter ice and snow, now it is rare to find residual fruit in the wild in spring.Even if they can be found under the cliff, most of them are probably moldy.

"Don't worry, when I was a soldier in the plains, I saw people use horses to soak eggs to catch wild geese. The effect is very good..."

According to Wang Yanqiang, this method of catching wild geese is very simple.

Hold the needle into a fishhook shape and hide it in the golden horse egg, tie the end with twine, and then place it where wild geese often come and go.

Of course, the other end of the twine is fixed with a wooden stick.

The horse's egg is smooth, and once the goose swallows it, it will never spit it out again. When struggling, the meat will be caught by the needle hook, and there is no way to escape.

Hearing this method, Wang Manyin's eyes lit up: Isn't this the land version of fishing?

The horse egg is the bait, the needle hook is the hook, and the twine is the fishing line.

"Uncle Yanqiang, do you have to use horses to soak eggs? Can other things work?"

In later generations, let alone catching wild geese, it is very difficult for ordinary people to see wild geese in the wild.

There is no way to talk about the capture method, so I don't know what the charm of the horse's egg is, and why it must be this thing.

But for Wang Yifu, it's not hard to find horse eggs, there are many in the space.He had bought a lot of mature pheasants before.

"I don't know either, anyway, I've seen people catch them like this before."

"If not, I just caught some loaches a few days ago and have been raising them at home. I can hang a few loaches for a try when I'm done. Get a few more fishhooks and do a comparison experiment with horse eggs."

Wang Manyin instinctively felt that the effect of using loach should be better.Because wild geese are omnivorous animals, they prefer to eat small fish and shrimp.

Wang Yanqiang did not object to this.

After a few people discussed it, they went home separately.

It is convenient to open a consignment point at home, and you can pick up what you need at any time.

Immediately after Wang Manyin had eaten, he brought a pack of needles, put them under the stove to heat up and bent them, and made more than a dozen needle hooks before stopping.

Taking advantage of Wang Yanqiang's absence, he greeted Lan Hua again and went out for a stroll.When I returned, I had a handful of golden horse eggs in my hand.

He didn't dare to pick one that was too fresh, but chose a dozen or so that were already shriveled.

"Okay, Man Yin, where did you get it? I thought it would be hard to find this thing, and it might take a lot of trouble in the afternoon." Wang Yanqiang asked in surprise when he saw Ma Baodan.

"I remember the last time I was chasing rabbits, I saw some at the edge of the cliff at the old grave behind the village. I just searched around and found so many, and they looked good. I also folded the needle hook. "

"Then what are you waiting for, you go to the shoal on Dongshanmao first, and I'll go back and get the gun." Wang Yanqiang didn't expect Wang Manyin to finish the preparations so quickly, so naturally he didn't bring the gun.

After the two separated, Wang Manyin went straight to Dongshan Mao with his things. Sure enough, he saw dozens of geese perched in the shallow water, stretching their necks to peck in the water. I don't know if he saw the flock in the morning.

But before he got close, the group of wild geese flew away with fluttering wings.

Fearing that his operation method would be inappropriate, Wang Manyin did not dare to set the trap by himself.

Not long after, Wang Yanqiang came with a rifle.In fact, the best way to shoot wild geese is to use an earthen gun, but unfortunately his family doesn't have one, so he can only make up the number with a rifle.

After setting the trap, the two hid under the cliff and waited.

As a result, we waited for half a day, watching the sun go down, but the flock of wild geese disappeared.

Wang Yanqiang was a little anxious, and kept muttering in a low voice, but there was nothing he could do.

Wang Manyin was calm. As a fisherman, he had seen many situations in the Air Force, so he was used to it.

In fact, this kind of trap is purely luck... If the geese don't come, it's useless to worry about it.

As long as they see the bait, there will always be a time to take the bait.

Needless to say, Wang Yanqiang's expectations really paid off.

When it was getting dark, the group of wild geese finally flew back.They circled a few times in the sky, feeling no danger, and fell back to the water's edge.

Both of them became excited, staring at the group of guys.
