I loaded the farm game

"Well, brother, what are we going to do with this vole?"

Chen Guodong pointed to the field mouse held down by Dahuang.

"Brother Chen, do you want to try it? If so, just put it in a bag and take it back to find someone to help deal with it!"

"No no no!"

Hearing Lin Zhou's words, Chen Guodong and the other three shook their heads in unison.

Although the taste of this field mouse may be really delicious.

But psychologically, they still can't cross that hurdle!

Just like in some places, insects are used as food.

Even those insects are raised using methods that meet food standards, and they have nutritional value and probably taste good.

But if you really want to eat it, there probably will still be many people who can’t eat it.

"Fine!"

"Since no one is interested, we can only bury it!"

"This vole is also a pest that will eat crops and damage them."

Lin Zhou naturally has no intention of trying. There are so many delicious foods in the space, so there is really no need for him to eat such novel things!

After dealing with the vole, they stopped attacking the hole. After all, they already knew that it was a vole nest and not the hare they were looking for.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly moved his position and continued to smoke the rabbit holes and catch rabbits!

Under the warm winter sun, the "beacon smoke" they created has become a dazzling landscape among the mountains and fields.

Fortunately, here they are not like some places where smoke in the fields will attract people and stop them.

Otherwise, their operation would be quite risky!

In fact, a few years ago, scenes like this with green smoke in winter would have been a relatively common sight in rural areas.

Because of weather like this, at this time, the rice stacks, platycodon, and some withered grass and weeds in the farmland are almost dry.

Therefore, people take advantage of the warm weather to pull out and cut the grass with sickles and rakes, gather it into a pile, and then light a fire to burn it all.

In this way, in addition to weeds and spent platycodon, the ash left after burning can also add fertilizer to the fields.

Therefore, in winter or the beginning of spring, such scenes were not uncommon in the past.

However, there are fewer people willing to farm in the countryside now, and there are some other reasons, so basically, this kind of "scenery" is rarely seen.

By the time Linzhou and the others had almost finished patrolling all the rocky slopes and crevices in this mountainous area, and the caves to be fumigated were almost finished, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

Of course, the time they put in roughly matched their gains.

In addition to the two "good start" hares at the beginning, they later harvested three more hares.

However, in one hole, the two rabbits that were smoked out were obviously younger, so they released them.

In addition, some voles were also picked up during the period, and they were buried by Lin Zhou and the others.

All in all, there were five rabbits in total.

The total weight is more than 20 kilograms, and the average hare weighs about four to five kilograms.

I don’t know if it’s because they gain weight during the winter to celebrate the New Year, but Lin Zhou is quite satisfied with their weight.

They all look fat and strong, not skinny and skinny!

"In almost one morning, five jackrabbits, an absolute bumper harvest!!!"

When everyone was resting and preparing to return, Chen Guodong said with excitement.

He didn't think that just three hares smoked out from behind was a small amount.

On the contrary, I feel that it is a great harvest!

Because, in his opinion, this is much better than fishing!

You know, if you go fishing, you may not catch one even if you fish all morning or even all day!

Therefore, in his eyes, this rabbit catching operation was definitely a great success!

"I know it's a big gain. Hurry up and take a good photo of me and I'll send it to Moments!" Jiang Weiwei next to her held her cell phone and asked him to help with routine female operations.

"This is a real rabbit catching in the mountains, and I caught so many, I have to show off!"

"When I eat rabbit meat later, I have to do it again!"

Cheng Yue was also taking pictures with her mobile phone: "Hahahaha! These rabbits are so cute, I have to eat two more bowls!"

After taking pictures, they had almost rested and set off to return.

Back at the villa, Lin Zhou and the others did not deal with the rabbits immediately and put them on the dining table. Instead, they made a meal of the food left by his mother Qin Suyun and the others at noon.

As soon as they finished eating here, another customer came.

It was none other than Mr. Zhou and Zhou Shuhan.

It was similar to when Chen Guodong and his wife came before. Each of them was carrying gifts in their hands.

Of course, Mr. Zhou asked the guards to help carry it.

"Old man, Brother Zhou, and sister-in-law!"

"You're here right now, why are you carrying big and small bags with you? Could it be that when you are preparing to leave, you are also carrying big and small bags with you?"

Lin Zhou stepped forward and joked with a smile.

"Hahahaha!"

"You're right, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Why don't I bring more to have a prosperous New Year?" Zhou Shuhan put his arm around his shoulders and responded with a wink.

"That's alright! Whatever you like, just pretend." Lin Zhou looked full of generosity.

"Okay, as you said, then I can go to your vegetable garden to steal vegetables, and I can do it openly!" Zhou Shuhan grinned.

"Brother Zhou! How can a scholar's affairs be called stealing?" Lin Zhou shook his head.

At this time, Lin Xi on the other side looked at him, looking for help: "Brother! That -"

Lin Zhou had always noticed the situation on her side, because the gifts the old man and the others were carrying were heading towards her and his mother.

At this moment, Lin Xi was facing Zhou Shuhan's mother, Qin Jingxin. As for her seeking help from Lin Zhou, it was mainly because Qin Jingxin was taking an exquisite ladies' watch from the box and preparing to put it on her.

Although Lin Xi didn't know what brand it was, she could tell by looking at the watch body and the decoration inside that it was definitely not cheap.

So she was a little afraid to accept it, but she didn't know how to refuse this elder's gift.

"Xiao Xi! You girl, look at what your brother is doing. This is a gift from Aunt Qin to you, not your brother!"

"Besides, don't think too much. This is a greeting gift given to you by my aunt as an elder. It has no other meaning."

Seeing this, Qin Jingxin took Lin Xi's hand and smiled gently.

After saying that, she looked at Lin Zhou again: "Xiao Zhou, please help me quickly and say a few words to Xiao Xi to accept it!"

"Aunt Qin! You are treating me differently! You didn't even give me a gift when we first met, and now you actually ask me to speak for you and let others receive the gift. Alas!" Lin Zhou covered his chest and looked sad. .

Seeing him acting mischievously, Qin Jing couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "Okay, okay, it's Aunt Qin's fault. I thought you were about to start a family and start a career, so you didn't like receiving these gifts. I will make up for it next time."

"Aunt Qin, I'll take it to heart!"

"Remember, remember, if I don't send it next time, you can just kick me out and go out. Can you help me talk now?"

Qin Jing laughed so hard that she had to wipe the corners of her eyes with her hands. "Of course it's no problem!" Lin Zhou made an "OK" gesture and looked at his sister: "Xiao Xi, this is Aunt Qin's wish, just accept it! Remember to thank Aunt Qin!"

"Thank you Aunt Qin!" Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and smiled sweetly at Qin Jing.

"That's right! Come on, I'll put it on for you!"

Qin Jingxin took her hand and put the watch on her.

"Not bad, looks good!"

Later, Mr. Zhou also took the opportunity to introduce the remaining two items.

One is a neck massager and the other is a foot bath.

After his personal experience, he found that these are very useful technological products, specially prepared for Linzhou's mother Qin Suyun.

"Old man Ye and the others should be arriving soon!"

"Listen to him, he has been entangled by a group of people recently and wants to come to you to rescue him!" Mr. Zhou added an additional sentence after the introduction.

"Uh--"

"Looking for me to rescue you? Don't you want to divert trouble to the east?" Lin Zhou's mouth trembled.

Of course, the disaster he mentioned cannot be the real disaster.

"You kid really guessed it right!"

"So, think about it, why don't you stop him outside and prevent him from coming in!" Mr. Zhou suggested with a smile in his eyes.

I have to say that if such a scene really happened, he would definitely have to laugh at Old Man Ye!

"..." Lin Zhou heard the playful tone in the old man's words and was speechless for a while.

Sure enough, a man will remain a boy until he dies, and even at such an old age, his playfulness remains undiminished.

"The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with soil. No big deal. When the time comes, I will just dig a channel and divert the water away!"

"Old man, don't laugh. Just watch the fun. Maybe the water will get to you by then!"

"..." When Mr. Zhou heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't come here, kid. I don't want my ears to be quiet all day long. I also want to have a few more days of leisure!"

"Hahahaha!"

"What you said just now is obviously just to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously!" Lin Zhou chuckled.

"That's what I said. It's impossible for you kid to really keep Old Man Ye out." Mr. Zhou waved his hand.

He didn't want to live a peaceful life of being pestered all day long.

If the others were fine, he could still block them, but that group of people was not easy to block.

The main thing is that people are not doing it for themselves, but for more people, or even the entire country.

So, it’s really a headache to get entangled!

"Old man!"

"Don't worry! I won't seduce you."

Seeing him avoiding him, Lin Zhou also wanted to laugh for no reason.

"That's great! Thank you, old man!"

Mr. Zhou's face was filled with joy, and he happily arched his hands towards him.

Immediately afterwards, he also decisively left: "You young people, let's talk. I'll go to the vegetable garden to see how the vegetables I planted before are doing. Can I get some to eat tonight?"

After saying that, he took the guard and went to the vegetable garden of the villa.

Judging from his hurried steps, it seemed that he was not entirely trying to escape, but maybe he really wanted to go to the vegetable garden.

After all, there are vegetables he grew there!

"Brother!"

"I just saw that Lao Chen posted on WeChat Moments, saying that he went catching hares with you, and we got quite a harvest. Why didn't you wait for me for something like this?" Zhou Shuhan said again about what they were doing in the morning.

"Brother Chen has always wanted to dig out bird eggs, so when he got here, he urged me to go!"

"Then after we picked out the eggs, we went to smoke the rabbit hole!"

"If I had known that you were also interested, Brother Zhou, we would have waited until you got together."

As soon as Lin Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Shuhan said regretfully: "Brother, you actually took out the bird's nest. I should have known we should have set off earlier!"

"By the way! Where is Lao Chen? Where is this guy now?"

"Brother Chen is in the kitchen helping with the rabbits and some ingredients for dinner." Lin Zhou originally wanted to join them, but he received news of their arrival halfway and came to greet them first.

"Let's go, brother, they haven't killed them yet, right?"

"Let's go over and have a look. Although we didn't catch him personally, it's good to see that he's alive!" After hearing this, Zhou Shuhan pulled him and walked over there.

By the time the two of them got there, Chen Guodong and the others had already dealt with the four rabbits and were about to start on the last one.

When Zhou Shuhan saw it, he hurriedly gathered around him, as if he was surprised.

Later, under his own eyes, the rabbit was also killed, skinned, and turned into a naked rabbit, lying quietly next to the other four rabbits.

Five rabbits, after skinning them and removing their internal organs, they felt like they had shrunk by half in an instant.

"Old Zhou!"

"How are my cooking skills? Not bad!" Chen Guodong held up a clean and bare rabbit and showed it off to him.

"Okay!"

"I thought you were killing the rabbit with your own hands, Old Chen!" Zhou Shuhan commented and said in a teasing tone.

"Cough cough!"

"Lao Zhou, killing rabbits is a technical job. I can just help wash the rabbits!" Chen Guodong blushed.

"hey-hey!"

"Old Chen, wait, I'll let you in!" Zhou Shuhan lifted up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, looked at the chicken covered in the basket next to him and asked, "Brother, this chicken needs to be disposed of. Right?"

"Yes, what? Brother Zhou, can you kill chickens?" Lin Zhou nodded.

In their case, if they want to kill chickens, they usually catch the chickens in advance and cover them with baskets when feeding the chickens the night before or the next morning.

Because most of the time poultry like chickens are kept free-range, they are let out in the morning and allowed to find food on their own, and then brought back at night to be fed some millet or chaff.

Therefore, in order to avoid not being able to find the chicken when killing the chicken the next day, you have to catch it in advance.

In addition, in order to prevent the chicken from jumping over the basket and running away, something heavy must be placed on it.

Therefore, if you go to a rural house and see something like this, then the chicken has probably been used for something.

Either to kill them, to sell them, or to capture them and give them away.

At this time, after listening to Lin Zhou’s words, Zhou Shuhan waved his hand:

"Kill a chicken! How difficult is it! Let me show you today!"
