Father's Farmer's Wife: Farming Makes a Fortune

Chapter 37 Digging the Trap
Yu Laosan led Nanmenyue and walked straight towards the hill above the wooden house. On the extension of the hill, he arrived at the place where he found the wild boar feces. The feces were very concentrated, and it could be seen that the wild boars came out in groups.

Nanmenyue put down the shovel and studied the terrain. She had often encountered wild boars when she was on a field trip before, and she had heard from other colleagues that the wild boars were a bit temperamental. When it is warm, wild boars will gather here.

In addition, there is an oak forest around here, and the leaves are covered with the food that wild boars eat in winter-acorns, which is why they are active in this area.

The third brother Yu took a hoe and started construction in a lush forest. Although he had never hunted in the mountains, he had heard from his second brother that the wild boar would come out to forage in the evening, and they had to avoid this time. Go to the herd of wild boars, they may be in danger.

Of course, he will never forget how his second brother who was hunting was killed by a wild boar. Although he has lingering fears, as long as he grasps the habits of the wild boar, they can completely avoid the danger.

Nanmenyue took a shovel and helped to fill the excavated clods into the depression in front. After digging and shoveling, a trap with a diameter of about two meters has roughly outlined.

The two were busy coming and going, and soon the mountain was darkened, and the trap was dug to the knee deep. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Yu Laosan hurriedly stopped.

"Yinger, let's call it a day. I can't dig well today. Don't encounter a herd of wild boars later and get into trouble." He said, holding up some dry grass and leaves and spreading them on the new hole dug. gone back.

"Come on, manual, there's still time to cook when I get back."

Knowing what he meant, Nanmenyue responded, put away the shovel, and patted the dust on the stretch. After tidying up, she bent down and picked up a few acorns, put them in her pocket, and walked ahead. These fruits can be taken back. Let Qi Yinger play.

When the two descended from the top of the mountain to the river bank, the sun in the west happened to set on the treetops on the other side of the mountain, and it was as red as a big salted egg hanging there.

"Sir, I'm leaving first, I have to cook dinner when I get back."

Yu Laosan rushed to Nanmenyue who turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll be there in a while, don't wait for me."

This leg has been cured by the black-clothed lady last time, and it has become much more flexible, but in order to completely correct the shape of the leg, the injured leg is still clamped with a bamboo board, so it is still not very convenient to walk.

Nanmenyue carried the shovel to her shoulder and quickened her pace. Before she reached the wooden house, she heard Qi Yinger's giggles, and she could tell that she was having a good time. If she had been like a monkey in the past, the sun set Just stand on the tall stone and look out to see which direction she will come back from.

Mrs. Zhuang was chopping firewood at the stove, and when she saw Nanmenyue coming back, she looked behind her again: "Where's the third child?" But don't worry, his second child was killed by a wild boar.

Seeing her nervous look, Nanmenyue was very funny, and regardless of her identity, she pinched her wrinkled face together: "Don't worry, he's walking behind in good order."

Mrs. Zhuang looked at her mischievously, and reached out to beat her back. This guy is getting bigger and bigger.

"I said this wild boar is too ferocious, so don't pay attention to it. Pork obtained at the risk of life is not good to eat."

Knowing that wild boar can kill people, she can rest assured that Nanmen Yue will provoke that thing.

Nanmenyue pretended to be dead and yelled a few times, turned around and made a grimace, walked to the wooden house and put down the shovel: "Don't worry, no matter how cruel the wild boar is, it is still a pig after all. I will use this to defeat it." Nanmenyue pointed Pointing to his own head, so that Mrs. Zhuang can rest assured.

Mrs. Zhuang couldn't talk to her, so she had to give up. This girl is good at everything, but she has a very stubborn temper. There is really nothing to do with her.

Seeing her compromise, Nanmenyue smiled mischievously, and watched Qi Yinger dance the lattice in front of the bamboo house alone, without disturbing him, went to the stove, fetched water to wash his hands and face, and came to help cook.

Mrs. Zhuang has already washed the rice and soaked it in a wooden basin. Tonight's dishes are still the old three, pumpkin, water vegetables and pickles.

Nanmenyue looked a little bored, so she thought about changing the taste.Looking at the half piece of dried rabbit meat hanging there, he simply took it off and boiled it. Anyway, there might be wild boar meat in the past few days.

"Mom, you go to rest, I'll make dinner."

"Don't, don't, you've been out working all day, let me do it."

"Come on, my cooking is better than yours, isn't it?" Seeing that the old woman was still being polite to her, he had to poke her sore spot.

The old lady didn't argue, it was indeed Nanmenyue's cooking that was delicious, varied and fresh.

"I'll help you here." The old woman compromised, knelt down and continued chopping firewood.

Nanmenyue took out the kitchen knife, slid it a few times with a whetstone, washed the cutting board, cut the half piece of dried rabbit meat into pieces, and soaked it in clean water.

I turned around and went to the wooden house to dig out a few pieces of dry flat ginger, but couldn't find the bundle of onions. I turned around and asked the old woman to find out that she loosened a field in front yesterday and planted all the onions.

Nanmenyue took the ginger back to the stove, went down to the ground and dug out a few more petals of the onion planted by the old woman, washed and smashed it together with the ginger, and put it in a bowl for later use.

Then take out half of the leftover pumpkin at noon, peel and cut into pieces.After all this work, the rabbit meat soaked in the basin has turned white, so I picked up the rabbit meat, changed the water and washed it again, and called the old woman to light a fire.

After heating the iron pan over high heat, pour half a spoonful of lard on it. The old woman with such big hands and feet hurts. After the oil is heated up, add the green onion and ginger until fragrant, then add the washed rabbit meat, and stir fry twice. Add a little old man's white wine and continue to fry.

After the rabbit meat is slightly browned, put in the pumpkin and stir fry, let the pumpkin wash off the excess oil in the pot, then add some water to fry the pumpkin until soft, then you can put the soaked raw rice.

Mrs. Zhuang squatted there to light the fire, and seeing her stir-fry the rice in the pot, she couldn't help but wonder, this girl really knows everything.

Nanmenyue was also sweating from work, holding a spatula in one hand and wiping off the sweat in the other. After stir-frying the uncooked rice a few times, poured more than two scoops of water, filled the pot with meat and vegetables, and covered the pot. , Hastily asked the old woman to make the fire smaller.

Turning around and entering the wooden house again, I found a piece of clothing that I had patched, tore it into strips, washed it several times in the basin, and then circled it around the lid of the pot to plug the leak.

"Okay, you're done, you can retire after all." She pushed the old woman away, and wanted to watch the fire by herself.

Be careful with the fire. If the fire is too big, the water will boil dry and the rice will not be cooked. If the fire is too small, the rice will boil and the water will not dry.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Mrs. Zhuang let her go. Seeing that it was getting dark, she hurried down to the field with a small wooden bucket to water the onions she had planted.

At this time, the sun had already set on the other side of the mountain, and a new night was coming.
