Chapter 109 "Hunting"

Except for the military rations used in emergencies, there was no other food left at Jiang Yan's house. If she didn't go out hunting, Jiang Yan wouldn't have anything to eat at noon today.

Taking out various tools, Jiang Yan put the tools into everyone's hands by category.

"Kaka, I'm counting on you today!" Handing the bow and arrow to Kaka, Jiang Yan clenched her fists and cheered.

As early as a few days ago, the Lu sisters had seen Kaka's abilities. The main force in every hunting was this little silverback gorilla in front of them.

The Lu sisters, on the other hand, function more like a means of transportation, loading up the food they hunted and bringing it back.

After distributing the tools, Jiang Yan released the chickens from the chicken coop, bent down, and found seven eggs in the chicken coop.

Putting the seven eggs in the prepared nursery box, Jiang Yan locked the door and then led a group of people into Bailong Mountain.

In the past two days, Jiang Yan discovered that the chicks had begun mating. In this case, the eggs were very likely to hatch into real chicks. In order to expand the group of chicks, Jiang Yan took advantage of his nap time to use Wooden boxes create an egg nursery box.

The principle is a water bed. The water has a stronger heat preservation ability. Wrap the water with plastic cloth, and then sit the eggs on the plastic cloth. In this way, as long as the water temperature reaches the appropriate temperature, within a month, the chicks will be able to get eggs from the eggs. Break out of the shell.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yan still insists on burning the kang in summer.

Walking in front, Zhao Dabai lowered his head and sniffed around. Zhao Dabai was more familiar with the road to Bailong Mountain than everyone here. Under Zhao Dabai's leadership, Jiang Yan arrived at the farmland at the foot of Bailong Mountain in just 10 minutes. .

Because of the python in Nanshan before, Jiang Yan had a great resistance to the deep mountains and old forests, so this time Jiang Yan went straight to Bailong Mountain instead of going south to Nanshan where there were more prey.

There is a large area of ​​farmland at the foot of Bailong Mountain, part of which is still Jiang Yan's own farmland. However, it has been abandoned for a long time and is now occupied by saplings. However, because of this, there are not too many wild animals here.

"Plants, it's time for you to exert your strength!"

Standing in the farmland, Jiang Yan closed her eyes and communicated with the surrounding plants. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

"There should be something in that direction, let's go there."

Along the northeast, Jiang Yan and others moved forward, crossing the woods where they had picked mushrooms before. Jiang Yan bent down and continued to search for traces of prey in the woods.

Following behind, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked into the distance with curious faces. They didn't see anything, but the hunting process made them very curious.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Squatting on the ground, Jiang Yan pointed to a big tree next to him. Seeing this, Kaka on the side climbed to the top of the tree in three steps and two steps with his bow and arrow on his back. He then opened his bow and drew the arrow, looking for prey under the tree. .

According to the guidance of the plants, there should be a pheasant 20 meters ahead, but as Jiang Yan glanced ahead, she did not find any pheasant.

"Where did it go?"

Whispering softly, Jiang Yan closed her eyes to synesthetize with the surrounding plants. After a brief dizziness, Jiang Yan suddenly spotted a bright figure.

"There!"

Opening his eyes, Jiang Yan pointed at the tree crown not far in front of Kaka. Seeing the direction of Jiang Yan's finger, Kaka instantly raised his bow and arrow, and released the bow string in the blink of an eye.

"call out!"

The bow and arrow that flew out instantly hit the pheasant in the crown of the tree. Seeing the pheasant fall to the ground, Jiang Yan hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the pheasant and pulled out the arrow.

"Wow, these feathers are so beautiful!" Looking at the pheasant in Jiang Yan's hand, Lu Lili's eyes lit up. The pheasant is different from domestic chickens. It has bright feathers like a small peacock, and its flying ability is also better. It is more than ten meters tall. You can fly up the big tree by just flapping your wings. The only drawback is that the meat is relatively woody and not as delicious as native chicken.

"Go back and make headdresses for you two."

Seeing Lu Lili's gaze, Jiang Yan wiped the blood on the pheasant and then put the pheasant into Lu Linlin's backpack.

"Really! Sister Yan, you are so good!"

Hearing this, Lu Lili jumped up excitedly, grabbing Jiang Yan's hand and shaking it constantly. Even Lu Linlin's eyes lit up.

"Hunt hunting."

Lu Lili's enthusiasm made Jiang Yan a little happy. Recalling her appearance last night, Jiang Yan still liked Lu Lili's current appearance better.

Perhaps because of the conversation last night, Jiang Yan suddenly felt that she was closer to the Lu family sisters. Although they were obedient before, they always felt that there was some gap in their hearts, but now it is completely different, that kind of looming The barrier disappeared, and Jiang Yan finally felt some of the tenderness hidden in her bones.

After working at the foot of the mountain for nearly a whole day, Jiang Yan gained a lot. Zhao Dabai and Kaka had a full meal during this trip, and Jiang Yan and others also filled a basket full of food.

Not only did she pick a variety of wild vegetables along the way, Jiang Yan also hunted several prey of different sizes. In addition to a few pheasants, Jiang Yan also caught some rabbits and five green bird eggs, which happened to be at home. The eggs were also hatching, and curiosity drove Jiang Yan to want to hatch these eggs.

In large and small packages, Jiang Yan and others took advantage of the dusk to return to the farm and poured out the results in their backpacks. Jiang Yan and the others sorted them into categories.

Because of the mushroom poisoning before, Jiang Yan did not pick any mushrooms this time. Instead, he targeted various wild vegetables, such as dandelions, celery, and shepherd's purse. Jiang Yan filled a backpack full of them. .

These wild vegetables do not require too detailed cooking, and can even be eaten raw, which makes the sparse ginger smoke much more convenient.

The next pheasants and rabbits were placed by the well for disposal by Jiang Yan.

After catching four pheasants, Jiang Yan plucked out all the tail feathers of the pheasants. The tail feathers of the pheasants are long and beautiful, which are most suitable for making some decorations. After pulling out all the tail feathers, Jiang Yan handed them over. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.

During the hunting process, Lu Lili also wanted to catch a few pheasants because of their gorgeous appearance, but the pheasants were too sensitive and would fly far away if they were not careful. As a result, Kaka shot the last pheasants to death. .

After simply disemboweling it, Jiang Yan processed it, sealed the chicken in a plastic bag, and placed the bag in a leather basket in the well.

In rural areas in summer, if there is no refrigerator, the only way to store food is to put it in a well. The temperature inside the well is only about ten degrees. In this case, ordinary meat can be stored for more than three days.

The processing of rabbits is also simpler. Pull off the rabbit skin, briefly empty the internal organs, and then put the rabbit meat into the well according to the method just now.

After finishing all this, Jiang Yan washed her oily hands and then picked up a hare, preparing to use it as today's dinner.

Jiang Yan has eaten so many rabbits in the past two days that Jiang Yan has stored a large amount of rabbit skins. Counting the ones that have been processed before, Jiang Yan can make a rabbit skin coat for the winter as long as he eats some more rabbits.

Nailing the rabbit skin on the wooden board, Jiang Yan took out a dagger and hung up the impurities on it.

"Linlin, light the stove and eat rabbit meat tonight."

Instructing Lu Linlin to light the stove pit, Jiang Yan took out the eggs from his backpack. Except for one that was crushed during the journey, Jiang Yan put the remaining four green eggs into the incubation box and checked the temperature. After that, gently cover yourself with the quilt.

"What bird will hatch?"

Jiang Yan was very curious as she walked out of the room.
