Siheyuan: I tied a stick and went to the countryside

Chapter 41
"You're the one who stole the mallet, yet you're slandering me!" Zhong Yuemin quit and told the truth directly.

Don't look at the 30 catties of stick noodles a month, it looks like a lot, and there are only 3 taels per meal, which means two small buns, but the educated youths are all strong guys, and these two buns are not enough to eat , only six or seven percent full.

So the two of them sneaked into the farmland at night to break off two corns. Spring corn is planted in the Northeast, and it will be sown in April and May. It will not mature until October. Right now, there are no corn kernels growing. I don't understand either. After finally stealing two, I saw that there were no corn kernels, and laughed at each other for a long time.

Zheng Tong and Zhong Yuemin bickered. Here, Huang Bin walked the fish for a while, took advantage of the situation, and directly threw the carp up.

"Good guy, this carp weighs three to four catties." Wang Kaixuan said in surprise.

"Now I have fish to eat tonight." Zhong Yuemin said happily.

I can do my job here, but it makes me feel uncomfortable if I don’t have enough to eat. We all know that there are wild game on the mountain, but that’s not where ordinary people go.

Wang Kaixuan warned at the beginning that some educated youths went in before and never came out alive.

One pig, two bears and three tigers, together with poisonous snakes lurking everywhere, frightened everyone. No one wanted to go deep into the mountains if they were not pushed to the end.

Zheng Tong said: "You also know how to eat."

Turning back to Huang Bin, he said, "Huang Bin, I'll make a drink later."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Zhong Yuemin.

"Damn it, I'll go to my hometown to buy some vegetables."

Wang Kaixuan also said that he would eat some peanuts with it, and have a good time at night.

The food eaten at this time is the most fancy. Generally, relatives who leave will bring their own food, so no one wants to take advantage of it.

After deciding to drink in the evening, the four of them started fishing again. There was a big carp in the bottom, and Huang Bin caught another big silver carp, so they didn't take any more fish out of the space.

However, the nest material still played its due role. From time to time, smaller fish took the bait, which made the three of them envious.

It's just that Huang Bin only has that one set of nest materials, and they all said that Huang Bin should adjust more next time, and he can exchange things.

"It's all trivial matters. Whenever you want to say something, I'll just help you adjust it. It's very simple."

At the end of the day, Zheng Tong caught a little more, and Zhong Yuemin only had a small fish that weighed three or two. Zheng Tong asked him to lie on the ground and learn from bastards, but Zhong Yuemin was unwilling to live or die, and couldn't speak in embarrassment.

Zhong Yuemin was ridiculed all the way, and quickly found an excuse that he was going to a fellow villager's house to buy vegetables, so he slipped away early.

Let's separate briefly first, and make an appointment to come to Huang Bin's yard again later.

Huang Bin carried the fish into the courtyard, and Shi Xiaona, who heard the sound, stood by the courtyard wall, saw the big fish she was carrying, and said happily, "Student Huang Bin, there are so many fish, why don't you sell one to me?"

Huang Bin said, "Okay, do you want the big one or the small one?"

In addition to a carp and silver carp weighing four to five catties each, there are also a few small fish weighing one or two catties, so it's no problem to sell some to Shi Xiaona.

Shi Xiaona thought about it and said, "We want that carp, can you help stew it? We'll give you two dollars."

Normally, a catty of fish in the market costs about [-] cents. For such a large fish, it costs more than one yuan to buy. In addition to killing the fish and stewing it well, it is also very appropriate to give two yuan.

"That's fine, I'll call you when I cook it later."

After Huang Bin packed the fish, he turned on the fire and started to stew the fish. The longer the fish is stewed, the better the taste.

Add firewood to the hearth, take a sickle to the back hillside to cut some grass, and feed the rabbits when I come back.

While feeding, Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong came over together, also holding food and wine in their hands.

Zhong Yuemin went to the cage to have a look and said: "Huang Bin, when will you kill this rabbit? Sell me half of it later."

Huang Bin said: "We have to raise these 6 little rabbits, and we will talk about it when the time comes."

There can be 5~8 rabbits in the next litter, and the reproduction is relatively fast. The rabbits in this litter have grown up and just weaned, and the female rabbit can have another litter.

There are two uteruses in the female rabbit's body, and they can conceive in turn, which is why they can give birth to babies every month.

Domesticated rabbits reproduce quickly, but this is a wild rabbit. I don't know if they can reproduce so fast. We will talk about it later.

It’s just that the number of wild rabbits is less than that of domestic rabbits, but no one in the village raises domestic rabbits. Every household raises ducks and geese instead of chickens. Those can lay eggs and come in quickly.

Chicks can only be bought in spring, and if you want to buy them at this time, you can't buy them, so you can only raise rabbits.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Then you can catch little rabbits and sell them to me later, I will also raise two to play with."

According to regulations, one person can raise two small animals, such as chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and one household can also raise two pigs. However, the educated youths have money, and many people find it troublesome, so few people raise them.

Huang Bin said: "I'll catch rabbits in two days. If there are small ones, I'll give them to you. If you don't have money, don't mention it."

For me, catching rabbits is a breeze, as long as there are underground ones, besides, Huang Bin also wants to make friends with them, and he is not short of money, so it doesn't matter if each of them gives two little rabbits.

Zhong Yuemin nodded: "Thank you then, I will treat you to a drink then."

Zheng Tong sent the wine and vegetables to the kang table in the back room, and when he came out, Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi also came with the wine and vegetables.

Hu Bayao: "Come here uninvited, you won't blame me, will you?"

Huang Bin is a landlord, and said with a smile: "Why are you being polite, everyone came from all over the world to jump in the queue in a village. They are all good friends and comrades-in-arms. Don't say such outrageous words in the future."

"Yeah, why are you being so polite!" Zhong Yuemin said.

Wang Kaixuan glanced at the little rabbit and said: "When this rabbit can live alone, you can no longer raise it. After all, a person can only raise two animals. If there are more animals, it will be considered a violation and someone will report it."

Rabbits are different from chickens, they are born alive, so they cannot be sold when they are still breastfeeding, so it is not considered a violation. They can live alone after the full moon, and it is considered a violation if they continue to raise them .

Wang Kaixuan is the captain of the educated youth, and he understands this policy very well, so he explained it to Huang Bin.

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi each raised two chickens in the educated youth courtyard. Many old educated youths have been raising chickens since spring, and now they are ready to lay eggs.

Wang Kaixuan asked: "It's rare for educated youths to raise rabbits. The main reason is that they don't have chickens, and it's not easy to get this little rabbit. How did you catch it?"

"It's actually very simple. Generally speaking, there are three caves for cunning rabbits. A litter of rabbits has several exits. You need to observe the terrain, find all the exits, and then block all the extra exits. Only two exits are left, and one of the exits is smoked. "

What Huang Bin said was the normal method of catching rabbits, mainly using smoke.

"The rabbit can't stand it and will run from other exits, because they are all blocked, he can only try a few more, as long as he catches at the reserved exit."

Zhong Yuemin said happily: "Is there another way? Then let's go catch rabbits later."

Zheng Tong hit and said: "Can you find a new rabbit nest? How many exits will you see?"
