Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 33

"If you catch a yellow wolf in the wild, it's hard to say whether you can get a complete yellow wolf skin. Whether you use a gun or an arrow, even if you shoot it in the leg, there is a high probability that its skin will be damaged. There is only one way, that You have to catch a weasel alive, then hang it on a tree and peel the skin along the corners of its mouth to remove the complete fur. But digging an ice pit to catch a yellow weasel has a higher chance of getting a complete skin." Yingzi followed her grandfather to catch a yellow skin. , so she also knows a lot about Huang Pizi.

In front of Ji Yi and others, she naturally did not hide anything and told them everything she knew.

"But when the weasel falls into the pit, don't go down and catch it directly. You have to prevent it from using biological and chemical weapons." Lin Yi added.

biochemical weapon? ?Everyone was confused.

"It's the weasel's fart," Lin Yi explained.

The rest laughed.

Hey, I thought it was some kind of biological weapon, but it turned out to be this.

The meal lasted for nearly an hour, and everyone was full.

Ji Yi and the others didn't drink tonight, because they were worried that drinking would cause trouble and delay catching Huangpi Zi, so they simply stopped drinking and only drank hot soup.

In the winter, take a sip of hot soup to warm up your body without getting too comfortable.

Yingzi chatted with her second aunt.

The second aunt asked Yingzi how old he was and whether he was married to anyone.

Yingzi answered one by one, her face turned red after what the second aunt said, her eyes were lowered, and she shook her head.

"You and Xiaoyi are the same age. It's really fate. What do you think of my nephew? You also know his family's conditions. You know everything about him." The second aunt said.

After Lin Yi heard the second aunt's words, the cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Good guy, isn't this a bit of a mess by the second aunt?

He coughed quickly and reminded his second aunt not to talk about this topic.

Unexpectedly, the second aunt rolled her eyes at him: "If you want to cough, go out and cough."

Zhu Zhu pulled Ji Yi out of the room: "Boss, I think Yingzi is pretty good and she is a good match for you."

"Zhuzi, do you think so too? But I really don't have that heart-pounding feeling towards Yingzi." Ji Yi shook his head.

He didn't think about dating someone so early.

This year, it’s still small.

In future generations, there will be many people who are not married at the age of 28.

"Boss, are you really attracted to the little flower from the next village?" Zhu Zhu clapped his hands.

"Go, go, go, I've never seen anyone watch a ball." Lin Yizhao kicked the pillar on the butt.

It was a bit cold for the two of them to stay outside, so they went back to the room.

As for Yingzi, he can't control that much. The second aunt is such a good match, and Ji Yi's presence makes it even more embarrassing.

Yingzi didn't have this idea at first, but after spending a day with Lin Yi today, she had a different feeling about Lin Yi.

It seems that being with Lin Yi is not that bad.
Thinking of this, she became even more shy.

After all, she is a girl, no matter how fierce she is, she is still a woman.

"It's great to be young, I won't disturb your rest." The second aunt quickly stopped talking.

As long as the atmosphere is established, there is no point in talking more.

Getting married is not only a matter for two people, but also a major event for two families. How can it be so casual.

In the 80s, there was already a term for betrothal gifts. In the rural areas of Northeast China, the general betrothal gifts ranged from 4 to 500 yuan.

Although compared with the hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts in later generations, it seems that this betrothal gift is very small.

But you know, this is 80 yuan in the 500s.

It is equivalent to one year’s salary of Ji Yi’s father.

There is still a work unit, but it would be even more difficult for an ordinary family to forage food from the fields to come up with this money.

In Lin Yi's impression, it was his parents who helped his two brothers marry wives, and the family's life was not very easy.It’s so difficult for a family with three sons.

This is also the norm for ordinary families. Marrying a wife for your son will really cost you your life.

Most rural families rely on borrowed money to get married.

In fact, it will be the same in later generations. Once you get married, there will be a sea of ​​debtors.

In addition to the betrothal gift, another 50 yuan should be spent to buy a set of clothes for the new wife and some furniture for the young couple, usually beds, cabinets, washstands, and tables.

This is also called 36 legs.

They were all done by carpenters in the village.

If it is a wealthy family, or the girl is beautiful, four major pieces must be collected, that is, three turns and one ring.

The three turns and one ring in the ticket era refer to sewing machines, radios, bicycles and watches.

Now, not long after the reform and opening up, this routine still continues.

By the 90s, the four major items will have changed and become color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners.

Ji Yi and Zhu Zhu turned off the lights, and both of them moved to the window, taking advantage of the moonlight to look at what was going on in the yard.

"You don't need two people to follow. Boss, you go to bed first. You can come back to me later in the middle of the night." Zhu Zhu said to Ji Yi.

"Then you should go to bed first, I can't sleep at all so early." Ji Yi smiled slightly. He was a night owl in his previous life.

In the era of involution, staying up late has become the norm, and it would be unusual if not.

"Boss, why are Huangpizi's farts poisonous? Why aren't our farts poisonous?" Zhu Zhu asked Ji Yi curiously.

"Well, this question is very simple, because the ingredients are different. The main ingredients of human farts are nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases."

Ji Yi explained to Zhu Zhu.

The weasel's farts come from the odor glands in its body. When in danger, its odor glands will emit a light yellow liquid.

The main component of this liquid is butanethiol, which will quickly atomize after spraying and form an odor.

This is also their self-defense weapon.

The weasel's "stinky farts" are not only smelly, but also toxic to a certain extent. They smell like burning rubber.

If you inhale too much, you may experience dizziness, nausea and vomiting in mild cases, and temporary blindness or even coma in severe cases.

For people with poor physical constitution, the toxicity of butanethiol can anesthetize the brain nerves, causing hallucinations and the so-called "evil" symptoms.

Since science is underdeveloped in this era, most people don't know these principles.

This is why there are those legends in the village, such as rumors about being possessed by evil spirits, weasels taking revenge on humans, talking nonsense, losing their minds, etc.

Zhuzi suddenly realized that this was the case.

Ji Yi chatted with Zhu Zhu for a while, and then Zhu Zhu went to bed. The two agreed to rotate in the middle of the night.

As for Yingzi's possible gender differences, she went directly to her room to rest at night.

Ji Yi walked out of the room, knocked on Yingzi's door, and told her that she didn't need to keep an eye on her at night, as long as he and Fatty were alone.

Yingzi hummed slightly.

Ji Yi returned to the room and while observing the movement in the yard, his mind entered the system and checked the growth of crops and wild vegetables.

Unexpectedly, the hare's team actually expanded.

Rabbits reproduce very quickly. There is no need to worry about food and water here, and the temperature is suitable. It is simply a paradise for them.

A pair of rabbits can give birth to a litter in one month. Originally there were only a dozen hares, but now there are forty or fifty.

On the pheasant side, there were dozens more eggs.
