That day, Du Yun went to graze with Uncle Dong, and suddenly a pheasant jumped out of the grass and flew away.
Du Yun quickly took out his slingshot and shot, trying to catch the pheasant.
Unfortunately, the pheasant was too fast, so he only fired one stone. Before it hit, the pheasant had already escaped and disappeared before his eyes.
What a fat pheasant, but I couldn’t catch it.
Du Yun shook his head regretfully, turned his horse's head and prepared to leave, but then realized something was wrong.
The place where the pheasant flew was too close to me, only a few meters away.
Wild animals are notoriously timid, especially pheasants, which have wings and can fly away quickly when they hear any noise.
Although it is impossible to fly as high as wild geese, they do have wings and can run very fast.
Even if it doesn't fly, its two legs can run very fast, and it only takes two hits to escape without a trace.
It is much more difficult for people to catch pheasants.
As a result, why the pheasant did not escape until this distance is not consistent with common sense.
Could it be...
Du Yun raised his eyebrows and thought of a possibility. He immediately dismounted and went to check, and was surprised to find that it was a pheasant nest with a nest of pheasant eggs in it.
A dozen wild eggs lay there quietly, looking so delicious and tempting people's appetite.
This is a good thing. It is also an egg after all. It tastes delicious and can supplement nutrition.
I picked it up and looked at it under the sun. It was still the kind that had only been hatched for a few days.
This one is better, at least it won’t be incubated for more than ten days.
These are two different concepts.
Those that have been hatched for just a few days taste like eggs. After being broken into pieces and fried in a pan, they taste delicious.
The kind that lasts for more than ten days are called living beads, and he is also more famously called Mao Dan.
You can already see the appearance of the chick, and for those who are older, you can even see the whole chick, which is already covered with chicken feathers, and there are still egg liquids that have not been fully absorbed and digested.
This is indeed a kind of delicacy, but he doesn't like it and has no desire to taste it.
Just thinking about such a chicken makes people feel sick, and he doesn't want to eat it.
Mainly because we can’t eat it.
In this case, why should we eat this? I'm really not interested.
Now that the wild eggs have just begun to hatch, they are still eggs, so you can eat more of them without throwing them away with great regret.
No, Du Yun remembered something.
With Li Xiuzhi here, it is inconvenient for him to deal with many things. He can no longer take everything home like before. At least we have to have a way out.
And these wild eggs and wild duck eggs happen to have a good origin, so they can be brought back openly.
Not bad, Du Yun became interested when he thought of this.
He had been worried that since his wife was here, he would not be able to freely take all kinds of good things to his home.
When I saw this pheasant egg, I immediately had an idea. We can buy pheasant eggs and wild duck eggs, and then pretend that we picked them up in the wild.
I can pick up a few wild eggs and wild duck eggs, no problem.
It can not only improve her life, but also make her doubtless. Don't be too good.
Guo Qianzi saw him standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was doing, so he smiled and shouted, "What is Lingjun doing?"
"Nothing, I'll be right over."
Du Yun smiled and waved to him, saying it was nothing.
After thinking about it, he took out the wild eggs and proudly showed off, "Look at this."
"Wild eggs! Okay, you are very lucky. Why don't I have such luck? I can still pick up a few wild eggs."
In response to this, Du Yun said that it didn't matter, it was just a few wild eggs, and he would pick up as many as he wanted in the future.
The only difference is that you need to pay attention. If the pheasants stop laying eggs, you can still bring home a large number of pheasant eggs.
When I got home in the afternoon, Li Xiuzhi was cooking.
Du Yun looked at her busy figure and felt satisfied.
Look at how nice our daughter-in-law is, very smooth and capable.
Just do the work, don't let me get it wrong.
You do the work easily, and you don’t have to do any work when you get home. You’re like an uncle, just waiting to eat.
Where can I find such a good wife?
Seeing him looking directly at her, Li Xiuzhi felt embarrassed and scolded her, "What are you looking at?"
"Look what happened to our wife, I'm very happy to see you. Look what good things I got.
As he said that, Du Yun opened the bag and found dozens of wild eggs inside, as well as a dozen wild duck eggs.
If he wasn't afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Du Yun would have dared to get several times more eggs and bring them out.
Li Xiuzhi was surprised when she saw the wild eggs and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the wild eggs?"
"Of course I found it with great difficulty, let's see how it goes?"
"Very good, of course very good. These are eggs, so they are perfect for supplementing nutrition."
"Our family has no shortage of eggs these days. Let's boil some eggs tonight and let's try them."
"Okay, but you picked up a lot of eggs and can't finish them all at once. We can keep some of them for pickling."
Du Yun agreed, it would indeed work and taste very good.
The most important thing is that it can be stored for a long time, which is better than anything else.
Dozens of wild eggs, plus a dozen wild duck eggs, it’s impossible to eat them all in one time.
To prevent spoilage, it is best to pickle it.
After the discussion was completed, Li Xiuzhi brought coarse salt to marinate it.
After thinking about it, I left two more eggs to cook for dinner at night.
Looking at the two eggs, Du Yun frowned slightly, took out a few more, gathered ten eggs, and asked her to cook.
"Why do you make so much? You can't eat it."
"You have to eat too. Look how thin you are. You have to take supplements. My hands hurt at night."
Li Xiuzhi's eyes were red. She didn't expect Du Yun to be so kind to him. She nodded and prepared to cook the wild eggs.
This was because Xu Lingjun thought she was unwilling to eat eggs, so he asked her to cook a few more and eat them together.
But what is a sore hand? Do we have anything like this?
Li Xiuzhi reacted and gritted her teeth. I just want to be thinner, but how can I be that thin?
My man is too bad at talking.
Du Yun thought for a moment and did not sit down to rest. Instead, he peeled a few cloves of garlic, mashed it, and added soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings.
The taste of eggs dipped in minced garlic is simply amazing.
When he was a child, his favorite food was eggs dipped in garlic paste.
Unfortunately, eggs were not cheap at that time and were a big burden for the family. Even if he wanted to eat them, he could rarely eat them.
I can usually get you one or two, which is pretty good, but how can I get eggs dipped in minced garlic?
He wants to have a good meal today.
Autumn is coming soon, mushrooms have grown one after another, and shiitake mushrooms have begun to mature, so you can get some to eat from time to time.
Team 7 couldn’t help but smile on their faces. This was a delicacy made by Team 7 themselves.
There are only seven of the ten teams in the entire ranch.
If people from other teams want to taste it, they can only come over in the name of visiting relatives to have toothpaste as a gift, or they can feel happy and send some to their relatives.
It was really refreshing to hear their sincere thanks and see their sincere smiles.
What others don’t have is what I have. At this time, only they have what they have. They immediately stand out in the entire circle of relatives and become capable people among them.
This is not too good.
In particular, some people who did not live a very satisfactory life originally and did not have much sense of presence in the circle of relatives are now valued by their relatives, and they are so proud that they almost have their tails raised.
The look he looked at Du Yun was filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for him, how could he not have these good things? He is such a good person.
Realizing this, the smile on Li Xiuzhi's face never broke.
This is a man's ability. Who else but him can have such ability?
Du Yun said that it was nothing, just don’t do it six times.
So apart from having more smiles on our faces, there really is nothing.
That day, when Du Yun returned from grazing herds, Captain Sun and others were standing at the intersection with angry faces discussing matters.
They stood at the intersection, not knowing what happened, and they were all very angry.
Du Yun asked in confusion, "Captain, what are you doing?"
"I also said that it's not because of the mushrooms."
"It shouldn't be a good thing that we can get mushrooms. You have been very happy, but when the season comes, you start to get angry."
Du Yun was a little puzzled. He always felt that this matter was inexplicable. Why did he start to get angry again when he was so happy?
You are not a child. You come up with ideas every now and then. How could you do this?
Some people couldn't help but complain and explained the situation: "Forget it, the field department sent a message asking us to share some mushrooms or something.
This is what we grew ourselves. He is the elder, so why should we give it to him and do no human work?"
What should I say about that?
This is normal. People can bear to not want mushrooms, but it’s strange that they can bear to eat shiitake mushrooms.
I can also go to the forest to pick some mushrooms. The pasture is close to the forest, and there are many mushrooms.
If needed, you can pick it at any time.
Even if it is not the mushroom growing season, you can still find dried mushrooms among them. If you want to eat them, you can still taste them.
For example, you can often find traces of mushrooms in squirrels' overwintering storage rooms. If they are not too dirty, you can take them home and taste them.
As long as you don't accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms, everything else is fine.
But I can’t get shiitake mushrooms, so I really can’t get them.
When they heard that the mushrooms were ripe now, of course they had to ask for some.
After thinking about it for a moment, I didn’t say anything more. I wasn’t going to care about it. Anyway, the mushrooms that should be distributed to us will still be distributed to us, so why should we stop it?
Seeing that he didn't speak, everyone who was originally angry became even more excited and shouted: "No, I can't give it to him."
"That is, if we don't have them when we are working, it is absolutely impossible for you to come over to share the benefits.
If anyone dares to come and take my things, I will fight him tooth and nail."
Captain Sun looked at them with a bitter look on his face and said, "What you said is simple. No matter what, we are all ranchers. Now the farm department wants mushrooms, but it is not appropriate to not give them anything."
"Why, we grew it ourselves. We don't care about him. I want you to let him do it by himself and see if I don't break his legs."
"We just ignore him."
Everyone was so excited that it was impossible to take my things.
Anyway, they don’t rely on the field department to make a living. If you have the ability, you can put on small shoes. If you don’t have the ability, don’t say anything.
If they dare to let them wear small shoes, then they should let the other party know what the anger from the herdsmen means, and they dare to knock down the stall in the field.
Anyway, the law does not hold everyone accountable, and this matter is the fault of the field department. There is nothing the higher authorities can do even if they pursue the case.
Captain Sun was left speechless, and he turned to Du Yun for help with a grimace, "Lingjun, look, since the field department has said it, we can't deny you any face. This happened."
You can ignore the field department, but I can’t.
As the captain of the seventh team, he is responsible for the field department and manages the herdsmen.
Being a captain sounds great, but sometimes, it’s like the rat in the bellows gets the bad news from both sides.
Du Yun thought for a moment and said, "Here, we still have to give it.
"Why, we grew this ourselves."
Du Yun signaled them to listen to what he had to say first, and then continued, "We can give it, but we can't give it for free. We must discuss it with the field department. No matter how much they want, what will happen next year?"
"What do you mean?"
Everyone looked at him, not understanding what he meant, and wanting him to speak more clearly.
Damn it, I said it so clearly, but I still don’t understand.
"We can give it to them if they want it, but you have to give it in exchange. We can give it to you as much as you want next year, but they also have to pay a price. It's almost an exchange with the field department. You can't give it to them unconditionally."
This is possible.
Everyone nodded and looked at Captain Sun again. I mean, you have to figure it out. If everything goes well, everything will be easy to talk about. If not, what's the use of having you as captain?
"I leave this matter of Lingjun to you."
"Captain, it's okay for me to give my opinion on this kind of matter. What to do depends on you, captain."
"Then tell me about the output and so on, so that I can have an idea and see how I can raise conditions with the field department."
Du Yun told him the production volume and other things, and finally mentioned that he didn't know the price on the black market.
Then I can go and ask, we can do more for the field department, who asked this to be our job?
You have to figure out how to exchange for the delay in wrangling the horse, etc.
Just as he was about to leave, Du Yun grabbed him.
"What else?"
"In fact, my personal opinion is that the more we do, the better."
"These are just some mushrooms, why do you have so many?"
"Product diversification can better absorb risks. Although our seven teams are good, they almost entirely rely on herding horses. What should we do if there is a problem with the horse herd? We are simply unable to deal with it."
Thinking about it, it was right. Captain Sun agreed to come down and discuss with Uncle Dong and others how to handle this matter.
Everyone also agreed, but they didn't know that Du Yun was planning for a rainy day.
Now the pasture is very powerful, raising military horses, and there is a certain amount of resource allocation.
However, in the 1970s and 1980s, especially when the army began to pay attention to high technology and form mechanized troops, horses gradually disappeared from the army.
The very few preserved military horses are only used for honor guards or patrols.
What’s important is that it looks good, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a war horse with strong combat capabilities.
What about being a military horse?
The cavalry team has been disbanded for you, but who will purchase the army horses? It will also cause problems and lose the meaning of existence.
The pasture, which originally enjoyed a certain amount of resource tilt from the military, immediately encountered problems.
Instead of waiting to deal with problems after they arise, it is better to slowly change now.
