Chapter 6 Hunting
"His-"

"欻欻——"

When the spear in Qin Muzhang's hand hit a certain prey, there were some noises from the grass over there. Qin Muzhang walked over and saw a non-venomous gray snake about as thick as his wrist.

The spear just hit the snake, but because Qin Muzhang only heard the movement and shot blindly, he couldn't shoot accurately to the seven-inch position, so now the snake curled up in pain and entangled the spear.

Snakes with thick wrists are still relatively strong. Qin Muzhang cut off a branch from a nearby tree and sharpened it and inserted it seven inches from the snake. After killing the snake, he threw it into another bamboo basket. .

When he went out, he carried other bamboo baskets besides the child's back basket, and it was impossible for him to carry the child on his back while hunting and then throw the prey into the child's bamboo basket. He was not that big-hearted.

After killing the snake and putting it on, Qin Muzhang took care of it and covered up the blood with soil before continuing to look for other prey.

Sitting in the back basket, Qin Xiaobao happily watched his father show off his skills, and occasionally chatted about something that adults didn't understand, and he seemed in a good mood.

Qin Muzhang didn't dislike his son being too noisy to drive the prey away. With strong mental power, he could find the prey before his son's voice, so he didn't restrict his son from speaking.

When Qin Muzhang was hunting with his son, Chen Qiuxiang almost got some thorn saplings here, and when she was almost ready, she chose to plant thorn trees on the side close to the mountain.

There are still many wild fruit trees on the mountain. For example, rose apples are wild fruits. Now it is not the season for rose apples to mature, but Chen Qiuxiang still transplanted a few rose apple trees on the edge of his dry land. Come pick it up here.

In addition to rose apples, there are myrtle, wild lychee, wild longan, etc., but wild lychee is too sour, and the flesh of wild longan is also very thin, so she doesn't bother to transplant it.

"Huh?" Chen Qiuxiang was a little surprised when he saw the wild guava. The reason why the guava is called guava is because it was introduced to China from other continents. Is this empty Great Yong Dynasty specifically in the history of China? A certain dynasty didn't know about it, but they didn't expect Dayong to have guava.

The taste of guava is still very good. Although I eat too much and become constipated, it is still delicious. She liked to eat it very much when she was a child.

The guava that I ate when I was a child was basically grown in the wild. Most of the fruits are red flesh, and it is rare to eat yellow flesh or white flesh.

However, when I grow up, most of the guavas sold outside are white-hulled guavas, and red-hued and yellow-hued guavas are not often sold at fruit stands outside.

She just didn't know what kind of fruit the guava tree in front of her produced, whether it was delicious or not, and whether it produced many fruits.

Chen Qiuxiang transplanted a few fruit trees on the edge of his dry field, so that when they bear fruit in the future, his family will not need to travel far to pick the fruit.

Of course, it doesn't matter if other people in the village pick it. Anyway, these fruits are not very rare fruits.

For rural people in the south, wild guavas, wild lychees, and yellow-skinned samya fruits are really edible when they are in season, so there is no need to worry at all.

On the contrary, some fruits that can only be found in temperate or frigid regions are the fruits that they want to eat, and if they can't eat them, they don't count as fruits.

"It would be great if there were jackfruit saplings." Chen Qiuxiang thought for a while and said, jackfruit is also delicious, especially after some jackfruits are cultivated later, each fruit weighs dozens of catties, and one jackfruit is enough for many people to eat.

Chen Qiuxiang was busy planting things here, and she was busy until noon. Even if it was not the hottest time at noon, she didn't plan to plant things at noon. She was going to pack up and go home.

"Daughter-in-law Zhang, what are you planting?"

When Chen Qiuxiang was covering the last saplings, an aunt passed by and wondered what she was planting.

After seeing the saplings planted by Chen Qiuxiang clearly, she was still surprised, "Why do you plant these thorn trees? This kind of tree does not bear fruit and does not burn. What are you planting for?"

"Plant some thorn trees to keep animals away, and when they grow up full of thorns, you don't have to worry about any animals coming to eat crops in the middle of the night." Chen Qiuxiang explained.

"Is this too troublesome?" Qin Chunying frowned.

The dry land that everyone reclaimed, or the dry land that was bought, is basically just throwing some tree roots or something to circle it as a boundary. Even if a fence is built, it is made of wood or stones. I have never seen a thorn tree as a border. fence.

"It's a little more trouble now, and it will take another effort to trim the branches when they grow up. That is to say, when these saplings grow up, they can stop some animals that come to eat the crops in the middle of the night, and it's not in vain."

Qin Chunying frowned and thought about it, and thought it made sense. After these thorn trees had produced seeds and matured, she picked them off and sprinkled some thorn tree seeds on the border of her dry land to let them grow by themselves, so that she could be like A Zhang's wife. She would not do this for planting saplings one by one.

Chen Qiuxiang covered the soil, secretly cultivated them with wood-type supernatural powers so that they could thrive, then packed up and prepared to go home. I only hope that Qin Muzhang is almost back now, and she won't bother to wait for him if he doesn't come back.

"What are you planning to plant this year?" Qin Chunying walked beside Chen Qiuxiang and chatted with her, asking about the crops.

"In the paddy fields, we still grow rice." Chen Qiuxiang said with a smile, "Plant some rice to pay taxes, and if there is any leftover, keep it and eat it yourself."

"You also know our family. There is a child like Xiaobao in the family, and my uncle is not in good health. Rice is more nourishing." Chen Qiuxiang smiled.

"That's true." Qin Chunying nodded in agreement, "Rice is grown in the paddy field, what is grown in the dry field? Is rice also grown? Or is it sorghum?"

"Or plant some millet? Or corn?" Qin Chunying asked.

"Plant some seeds that Zhang and my father-in-law bought from outside. We plan to plant one first to see if it is as high-yield as the businessman who sells these seeds said. I heard that the yield of these grains per mu will be around thirteen or four shi output."

"I want to see if it is true." Chen Qiuxiang said.

"The yield of thirteen or four stones per mu? Is it true?" Qin Chunying looked at Chen Qiuxiang in surprise and said, "Your Zhang and your father-in-law won't be cheated by the merchants outside, right? I heard that those merchants are treacherous , what if you were cheated?"

"Try it, what if it really grows?" Chen Qiuxiang insisted.

Qin Chunying looked at her, and said earnestly, "We don't want to be joking like this. We have to pay taxes for growing food in our fields. What if your dry fields don't produce food? Take the food from the paddy fields. After paying taxes, what does your family eat?"

"Don't worry, the whole family won't starve to death." Chen Qiuxiang comforted, telling Qin Chunying not to be so anxious and not to get angry.
