The next morning, Qiao Mingjin woke up at the beginning of Yin Shi.

I listened carefully, but I still haven't heard the sound of the chickens in the village starting to crow.Although she didn't need to send firewood to the city today, she got up according to the time.

Before dawn, Qiao Mingjin groped to get up, and covered Wan'er and Ming Qi who were sleeping on the same bed with the quilt.Only then did he leave the main house.

Feeling into the kitchen, lighting the firewood, the kitchen lit up all of a sudden.

Put half a pot of water in the big iron pot, scoop out two handfuls of broken rice and throw it in.Turning around, I took out a few sweet potatoes in the corner of the kitchen, washed them and scraped off the skin, cut them into cubes on the chopping board, threw them into the pot, stirred them with a spoon, and then covered the pot and simmered.

After stuffing a handful of firewood into the stove and scooping up water to clean himself up, he went to the woodshed to bring a bundle of straw, and sat in front of the stove to weave a pocket.

This is for going up the mountain later.Of course, it would be better if it was fishing.It's just that this fish is still a luxury for her family.

Qiao Mingjin sat in front of the stove and made a pocket while getting up from time to time to stir the porridge in the pot to prevent it from sticking or overflowing.

After weaving the bag, I went to the yard and dragged a long bamboo pole that was left before, and made a ring with bamboo sticks to weave the bag on.A simple set is ready.

After a closer look, I am quite satisfied.After thinking about it, I dragged another short bamboo pole, and weaved a shorter bamboo bag accordingly.

After Qiao Mingjin finished the bamboo cover, the porridge was ready.Qiao Mingjin got up and put the porridge in four thick porcelain bowls to cool, and then scooped the porridge into the big earthen basin.At this time Mingheng also got up.

"Sister, do you get up so early?"

"Well. Let's go into the mountain earlier today."

Mingheng thought that Qiao Mingjin was going to go into the mountains to cut firewood, so he didn't ask any further questions, and went to wash up after humming.After washing, I found that there were two strange things in the kitchen.

"Hey, sister, what is this? It looks like a pocket."

"Well. This is the cover. We will use it when we go up the mountain to catch pheasants."

"Catch pheasants? Use this to catch pheasants? Sister, do you really know how to catch pheasants? I thought you were just joking."

Qiao Mingjin gave him a blank look, did she seem to be joking?She said that if she has a way, she has a way.It's just that many modern methods can't be used here.

In fact, the best time to catch pheasants is at night.At that time, the pheasants were returning to their nests, lying on the grass or resting on the branches. At that time, they took a strong flashlight and shone it on the chicken's eyes. I was stunned there, and now one set is accurate.

There are also those who record the sound of pheasants and trap them with sound.Both of these methods are extremely effective, but neither can be used in this day and age.

However, there are some native methods that are also very useful.

There are several types of trapping.For example, use grains to match traps, traps, or traps with koji, etc.The chicken was drunk after eating the wine koji, and it wobbled around, catching one at a time, and when it woke up, it was still alive, and all of them had to be full of tails.

In her previous life, her mother came out of the mountains. When she went to play with her grandparents, she followed her up the mountain to catch pheasants and hares.

At that time, she had an uncle who worked in the Forestry Bureau, who was in charge of the forest, and often had a headache because of the hares in the forest.The hares are so fertile that they are listed as one of the public hazards of the forest.

And the pheasants often go down the mountain to eat grains. There are few fields in the mountains, so they have to prevent the pheasants from stealing food.As soon as the children in the mountains were on holiday, they were ordered to drive pheasants in the fields.If you don't pay attention on the grain drying field, a lot of grain will be eaten by pheasants.

She often went to her grandfather's house to play, and learned a lot about how to catch pheasants and hares, and also learned a lot about the habits of pheasants and hares.

Mingheng held two bamboo sets and looked at it again and again: "Sister, this, can this really catch pheasants?"

"Why not? Catch one for sure. But eat quickly. It's hard to catch pheasants when the sun comes out. It's best to catch pheasants before the end of the day, after the sun has set in Shenshi, and the pheasants have not gone out for food in the morning, and they are all in their nests." They move around, and they are not that flexible, so it is best to catch them. After the sun goes down, the pheasant’s eyesight is not good, so it is easy to catch them after they have returned to their nests..."

Ming Heng heard her sister speak clearly and logically, so she didn't suspect it at all.His brother-in-law used to go hunting in the mountains, maybe it was taught by his brother-in-law before.

"Then sister, I'll call Wan'er and Fourth Sister!"

Qiao Mingjin opened her mouth, just about to stop him.Ming Qi and Wan'er?Forget it, let's go, and help catch up.

Turn around and go to prepare the things you need to go up the mountain.

After the things were ready, Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er also followed to the kitchen with sleepy eyes.

"Sister, Mingheng said that sister would take us up the mountain to catch pheasants?"

"Yeah. Didn't my sister say that before? But if you don't want to go, you can stay at home. I'm afraid you'll scare the pheasants away. It's okay to go up the mountain to find us later."

As soon as the two shook their heads, they woke up immediately and shook their heads again and again: "We moved very lightly and didn't talk. We are also going to catch pheasants!"

Ming Qi didn't wait for Qiao Mingjin to speak, fearing that she would refuse, he quickly grabbed Xiao Wan'er and went to scoop up water to wash.

Qiao Mingjin smiled and shook her head.Then he turned around and went into the kitchen to boil a pot of boiling water on a small stove, and washed the big pot to bake some pancakes to eat on the mountain.

Wait for the whole family of four to get it done.It's almost time.

Qiao Mingjin carried a pair of baskets. In the baskets was a bundle containing some food and water. There were hatchets, grass ropes and the like in the baskets.Ming Heng was carrying a pole with a bundle of straw ropes hanging on each end, Ming Qi was carrying two bamboo sheaths on his shoulders, and was holding Xiao Wan'er in one hand.A family of four, fully equipped, took advantage of the misty sky that had just turned white and went into the mountain.

Walking all the way up the mountain, the roosters in the village crowed one after another, and there was no one on the trail in the village.

Qiao Mingjin looked at how her daughter and her two younger siblings were dressed. They were all dressed in leggings and sleeves, their waists were tightly wrapped with loincloths, and they were covered in bunts of country children.It is all to avoid the bugs in the mountains from getting close to the skin.

Ming Qi and Ming Heng were in high spirits, discussing about catching pheasants later while walking.Qiao Mingjin looked at her and smiled, then looked at her daughter, and followed closely while holding Ming Qi's hand tightly.

The little thing was afraid that Qiao Mingjin would not let her follow, and along the way, he never yelled that he was tired, nor did he let anyone hug him, and followed closely with his mouth pursed.Qiao Mingjin was somewhat comforted and sad.

"Wan'er, come, mother will carry you."

"No, Wan'er can walk by herself." After speaking, she pouted and leaned towards Ming Qi, for fear that Qiao Mingjin would leave her at home again.

Ming Heng then handed the shoulder pole to Ming Qi, walked up to her and bent down: "Lai Wan'er, little uncle will carry you. Let's go quickly, while the chicken is still in the nest, it will be easy to catch, so hurry up Catch them, or they'll run away if you're slow."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan'er hurriedly climbed onto Mingheng's back.

"Uncle, let's go! It's time for the chicken to go out!"

"Okay, let's go!" After speaking, she held Wan'er's buttocks up and up, and then she started to run, and Ming Qi also ran behind.The three of them giggled and ran after each other.

Qiao Mingjin shook his head and smiled, and followed with strides.
