"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You will receive two yuan in cash, a flashlight, and a pair of adult rabbits."
Take out the rabbits from the sign-in reward, they happen to be one male and one female.
According to his only knowledge, rabbits have very strong reproductive capabilities. They can breed once every two months, and can generally give birth to 6-8 litters a year, and they can give birth to many cubs at a time.
The most important thing is that rabbits grow very fast, and they can usually grow into adult rabbits in four months.
He said he had found another way to hide the system's daily check-in rewards, a new way to eat meat openly.
It just so happened that the matter reported yesterday came to an end, and the subsequent handling was handed over to Boss Feng.
The tasks for this week have been completed, and the work is not so busy anymore. All that is left is to make reports.
So I got off work extra early today, went out for a walk, and then brought the rabbit back from outside.
Zhang Yu wants to take advantage of the relatively loose policies in the past two years to raise rabbits for a few years and dry some wax rabbits. After six or five years, the management of this aspect will be stricter. By then, meat can be used
Bacon to cover up.
Uncle Zhao was enjoying the cool weather at the door. He saw him coming over with a rabbit and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, where did you buy the rabbit? It's quite fat. How do you plan to eat it?"
"Uncle Zhao, I just saw an aunt selling rabbits there, so I bought them. I saw that they happened to be a male and a female, and I plan to keep them. They grow fast and give birth to a lot of rabbits."
"You young people still have ideas. I will buy a pair another day." Uncle Zhao agreed very much with Zhang Yu's idea. The supply has been reduced recently, and the meat is even less. Raising two rabbits can give you more meat.
.
When I got home, I found the remaining boards and nails from the house repairs, sawed the boards into sections, and drove the longer ones vertically into the soil to make cage-free walls, while the shorter ones were used to build the bottom of the cage.
.
However, the bottom is raised a little higher, and when the wood is laid, a gap is left in the middle. When the time comes, the rabbit excrement will be flushed down with water, making it easier to clean.
The top of the rabbit cage was made of oiled paper from the last check-in. I was afraid of water leakage so I nailed two more layers and put a layer of used raincoat on top of the oiled paper.
After finishing, I clapped my hands and looked up at the sky. I don't know when the sun moved to the west.
As the sun sets in the west, bathing in the colorful afterglow, the children search for something in the woods in twos and threes. The evening breeze slowly brings bursts of fragrance of flowers and plants, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and the sunset is infinitely better.
After taking a closer look, I realized that they were catching cicada monkeys. Seeing the cicada monkeys in their hands, I couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
I found tools at home. When later generations caught cicadas, they used plastic bottles to hold them. There were no plastic bottles in this era, so I simply found the remaining screen windows, cut off a small piece, sewed it with a needle, and made a net bag.
, a rope is used to close the mouth. When the time comes, you only need to tighten the rope to close the mouth.
I found a slender bamboo pole, took a flashlight, and prepared to search in the nearby woods.
When he was going out, he happened to run into his sister-in-law. Seeing his equipment, Zhang Guifang had already guessed what he was going to do.
"Xiaoyu, be careful when you go to catch cicadas. The grove has been pruning branches recently, and there are some scattered branches on the ground that have not been removed. Please be careful when you walk, don't fall, and be sure to use a flashlight to shine on your feet?"
"I know, sister-in-law, I will be careful with me, and the battery of the flashlight I brought has just been replaced, and it is brighter."
Zhang Guifang was still worried after hearing this: "Brother You is at home today, how about your brother accompany you?" After saying that, he turned around and shouted from the house: "Xiao Liang, accompany your brother to the grove to find the monkey.
"
"Sister-in-law, I'm not young anymore." Zhang Yu was a bit dumbfounded that his sister-in-law treated him like a child.
"Xiao Liang, hurry up." Zhang Guifang didn't seem to hear Zhang Yu's words, and her ears automatically filtered them out.
"Come on, come on, Xiaoyu, wait for me, I'll change my clothes and go over right away."
"Brother, I can do it by myself. You can rest at home..." Seeing that Zhang Guifang could not be persuaded, Zhang Yu turned to persuade Zhao Liang.
"If you tell my mother this, I won't go if she agrees."
When it came to this point, he could not convince Zhao Liang, let alone Zhang Guifang, so he had to go with his younger brother.
It is said to be a small forest, but it has been growing for so many years. Now that the sun has set, it looks a bit eerie.
The two of them divided the work and cooperated. You looked at this side, and I looked at this side. Two of them were found on the first tree, and they were pinched and placed in the net bag.
Since he found two monkeys in the first tree, he was full of confidence that he had caught cicadas tonight. He believed that the two of them could fill the net.
In later generations, due to environmental pollution and the reduction of resources, there were very few cicadas, and many people could only eat them in restaurants.
And the price is very expensive. A plate of thirty or forty fish costs nearly a hundred yuan, and you can't eat fresh ones. Most of them are caught, washed and frozen in the refrigerator.
Now that he had this opportunity, he had to catch more of them, eat them all at once, and put them into the secret space for later consumption.
There are so many cicada monkeys in this era. Sometimes, I touched several monkeys in the tree just now, and when I come back, I can touch several more.
And not only in the trees, there are also many in the grass. Occasionally, a few of them climb to high places. At this time, the bamboo poles in their hands become useful.
Look at the correct location, tap it gently, and the cicada monkey will come down. However, you have to watch carefully. If you don't pay attention, the cicada monkey will fall from the tree and disappear into the grass. How to find it?
Can't find it either.
After searching for a long time, in addition to a bag of cicada monkeys, I also found a lot of cicada sloughs. The little brother introduced: "The price of this thing is not very low when purchased in a pharmacy."
So most adults will just pick it up when they see it. They save it all summer and get a bag together. Although it is light, you can exchange it for a lot of money if you take it to the drugstore, at least you can exchange it for a lot of salt and matches.
"Brother, let's go back." Zhao Liang agreed to go back after seeing that it was almost done, but he reminded Zhang Yu to be careful from time to time on the road and try to shine the flashlight in front of him.
Although his health has improved a lot, his family still takes care of him habitually. In their hearts, he is still the person who will get sick if he is not careful.
After returning home, soak the cicada monkey in salt and water for three hours.
Early the next morning, after waking up early, wash the cicadas, remove the mud and dust on them, and then take them out to dry.
Under the distressed eyes of the little brother, he luxuriously got a bowl of oil. After the oil temperature increased, he poured the cicada monkey into it and fried it twice.
The fried cicada monkey on the plate is golden in color, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and has a delicious dry aroma. Then sprinkled with some pepper and salt, the taste is even more amazing.
The whole family who ate it was full of praise and said they would go together tonight and touch more.
Zhang Guifang was worried about the oil used, and said that if you put a little oil on the bottom of the pot, it would taste good if you use it for dry frying.
