Chapter 49
After leaving Liu Xianghong's house, Wang Xiaoqiang had the plan to raise pheasants. The wild pheasant not only has delicious meat, but also has good egg flavor. The key is that the nutritional value of eggs and meat is very high, and with quality as a guarantee, it will definitely not be a problem in terms of price and sales.
According to Wang Xiaoqiang's idea, he would contract the Mantou Mountain and build a chicken farm on it, and adopt the strategy of free-range food on the ground. The wild pheasants usually rely on insects and grass seeds on the mountain to make a living, and feed some sorghum in moderation, so that the meat and eggs can still remain purely natural.
Of course this is just an idea. Wang Xiaoqiang decided to start slowly and try catching a few wild pheasants to feed them.
Since he wanted to capture wild pheasants alive, the hunting rifle was useless. Wang Xiaoqiang put the hunting rifle back to the old village committee building and hid it, and started making a slingshot.
Slingshots are so familiar to Wang Xiaoqiang. When he was a child, he played with this. He first climbed on the willow tree to find a Y-shaped willow branch as the bow frame as the thickness of an adult's finger, and then bought a strong flat rubber band as the elastic band. Then he used scissors to cut a small oval piece of the semi-soft upper of the old sneakers to use scissors to make a standard slingshot. With the slingshot, buy some steel balls as bullets.
After the slingshot was made and the marbles were bought, Wang Xiaoqiang searched half a bag of cornmeal from his home, mixed it with white wine, and scattered it in the open space between Mantou Mountain and the yam field in the evening. After doing all this, he returned to the old village committee building to wait. When it was getting dark, Wang Xiaoqiang took the old yellow dog from his home and saw six wild pheasants hanging there as if they were drunk. They were cornmeal mixed with wine.
Just when they saw someone passing by, they forced themselves to flap their wings and flee towards Mantou Mountain. But before they could run far, one by one, one of them pounced on them, and soon they held them down one by one. Finally, a lighter-drunk person flew up and flew towards Mantou Mountain. Wang Xiaoqiang took the slingshot, put on a steel ball, aimed at him and shot.
I have to say that when Wang Xiaoqiang was a child, he was not playing with the slingshot in vain, and his accurate head was quite in place. However, the shortcomings of the slingshot were revealed after a shot. When the steel ball was about to hit the remaining five or six meters of the wild pheasant, it suddenly floated up, which deviated from its original trajectory and missed. Finally, the marble shot through the pheasant's long tail, and did not cause any harm to the pheasant.
The pheasant does not fly high or far. After taking off, it will fall down if it reaches about thirty meters.
After not shooting once, Wang Xiaoqiang did not give up and ran to chase him. While chasing, he took out a steel ball from his pocket and put it into the bullet holder. When he aimed, he suddenly thought flashed, pinched the thumb of the bullet holder's right thumb, and a white light flashed at the fingertips, and input a little gold-type spiritual energy into the steel ball.
Then, aim and launch.
call out!
This time, the steel balls shot out were fast and fierce, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Although the shooting distance was even longer than last time, it did not hit the ball in the middle and shot straight to the tail of the pheasant.
The pheasant screamed and fell down.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the pheasant in the distance and was stunned in surprise. This golden spiritual energy has such a wonderful function. It seems that this slingshot can be used as a portable weapon in the future. If anyone messes with me, a slingshot can make his head bleed.
The old yellow dog chased over and took the pheasant over and placed it in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. Wang Xiaoqiang came to his senses and looked down and found that the steel balls were deeply penetrated into the pheasant's butt, blood was flowing.
Fortunately, the injury was not the key, and the pheasant was not dead yet. Wang Xiaoqiang raised it up. He originally wanted to use wood-type spiritual energy to heal it, but he abandoned the idea. He planned to use the pheasant to open foreign meat.
Five drunk pheasants cut their wings with scissors and kept them in the old village committee compound. The injured pheasant was taken home for her sister-in-law Liu Juyi to cook for her.
The pheasant weighed about twenty kilograms. Liu Juyi burned hot water to reduce the hair, then took out the five internal organs and intestines in the stomach, washed them and made a portion of chicken soup, and made a plate of chicken with chicken stand and chicken legs.
Big plate chicken is very famous in the local area and is sold in major restaurants. However, the big plate chicken in the restaurant takes ordinary domestic chickens, and it is chickens fed from chicken farms with feed. The meat is fat but not delicious. The fat meat is covered with a thick layer of butter. Whether it is for soup or dishes, it is too greasy, resulting in poor taste.
The large plate of chicken made from wild pheasants is different. The meat is delicious, fat but not stinky, fragrant but not greasy. Coupled with Liu Juyi's superb craftsmanship, it is really a delicious food on earth.
Wang Xiaoqiang had a great meal. It was dusk after the meal. My mother brought out a bowl of chicken from the pot and put it into the basket. She said to Wang Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, Doctor Xu from the health station is sick. Take this bowl of chicken and take a look. A foreign girl, life is not easy. Now she is sick and there is no one to take care of her..."
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't take the bag and said unnaturally: "Mom, should you go there appropriately?"
"It's dark, my legs and feet are not smooth, so you should go!" said the mother, "Or you can go with me."
Wang Xiaoqiang took the trench and said, "Then I'll go! Let's see someone, why bother to mobilize a lot of people?"
"That's right, go quickly!" The mother smiled.
Sister-in-law Liu Juyi, who was beside her, was a little unhappy and looked disappointed.
Zheng Dazui came over the day, and the purpose was to check the tone of the two elders of the Wang family to see if they like Xu Xiaoya, a girl from the city. If they don’t like it, she would introduce Xia Guifang to Wang Xiaoqiang because she thought these two children were also very compatible, and Xia Sanwa has seen the world and urged her to say a matchmaker these days.
Although Xia Sanwa said he wanted to match his daughter for his daughter last time, he still couldn't save face. He, a big gambling man, has a bad reputation in the village. He is afraid that he will be in the Wang family. For the past few months, he has only urged his daughter to take the initiative to chase Wang Xiaoqiang. However, Xia Guifang was thin-skinned. The more Xia Sanwa supervised, the less Xia Guifang was. In desperation, Xia Sanwa had to ask Zheng Dashu again.
The two elders of the Wang family are old and have no knowledge and have an old concept. Of course, they like the city girl Xu Xiaoya. Xu Xiaoya is not only beautiful, but also very sensible. Of course, these conditions are also available. The key is that they are from the city, with knowledge and temperament. According to the two elders of the Wang family, it is a bright lintel for marriage to the city, and the ancestral grave will be filled with smoke.
They decided to urge Wang Xiaoqiang, hoping that he would take the initiative to Xu Xiaoya.
Wang Xiaoqiang didn't understand what his mother meant, but he didn't consider getting married now. He is now focused on developing his career and making a lot of money. Although he is a little reluctant, he still promises to give Xu Xiaoya chicken.
He also felt that Xu Xiaoya, a city girl, ran to Sanmiao Village to serve the whole village, and was tired and lonely, and was quite pitiful. Now that they are sick, they deserve care and care.
But when Wang Xiaoqiang was carrying the basket, he just passed by the door of Dazui Supermarket, Xia Sanwa, who was pestering Wang Dazui to match his daughter, saw it at a glance, and pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and asked Zheng Dazui, "Bigou, why is it so late? Who are you going to deliver food to when Wang Xiaoqiang brings a basket?"
Zheng Dazui looked at Wang Xiaoqiang's figure in the distance and said, "I guess it's for Dr. Xu..."
"This, why are these two people still in contact? Big mouth, what's wrong with this sign??" Xia Sanwa said in anger and worriedly.
"Isn't he your son-in-law? Go and ask yourself?" Zheng Da's mouth turned pale at Xia Sanwa. Xia Sanwa has been pestering her to match Wang Xiaoqiang and Xia Guifang these days, but she felt that if Wang Xiaoqiang could marry Xu Xiaoya, she would be more respectful, and even as her matchmaker, she, also rose.
Zheng Dayu mentioned this, and Xia Sanwa was still very accomplicated. She chased Wang Xiaoqiang with shame and shouted while chasing: "Hey, Xiaoqiang, hey, son-in-law..."
