Didn't wait long.
Quack... quack
Suddenly, several rapid screams came from the shallow water.
Followed by, the wild geese were in a mess, spreading their wings and rushing into the air.
There were a few left at the same place, with a hoarse and deep voice in the mouth. Their wings flapped wildly, but they could not fly at all. They just circled around the puddles.
"Got it, really got it!" Wang Yanqiang shouted excitedly and rushed directly with the gun. Afraid of taking a few steps later, the wild geese broke free from the hemp rope and ran away.
Wang Manyin was also a little excited, holding several hemp ropes in his hands, and followed closely behind.
They ran to the Dongla River and rushed towards the nearest wild goose.
Several guys struggled even more when they saw humans approaching. Unfortunately, their mouths are stuck and they can only rotate around.
Without much effort, Wang Manyin and Wang Manyin grabbed one respectively. Tie the wings and legs with hemp rope, and they will completely lose the possibility of escape.
A total of five geese were recruited. When they were finished, they were relieved.
From a close look, it is almost the same as the domestic geese.
Wang Manyin took a special look at the traps set, and found that geese were more interested in loach and small fish, and none of them ate horse soaked eggs.
This also proves that Wang Yanqiang's idea is biased... as long as it is a bait, it can catch geese.
As for the horse soaked eggs he saw catching wild geese, it is more likely that the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when everything was depressed, the wheat fields were green and the golden horse soaked eggs were very conspicuous, which was easier for wild geese to see.
But it's a pity. Several geese completely swallowed the needle hook into the crop, so they could not take it out, so it was impossible to feed them, so they had to kill and eat meat.
Of course, the five geese were not divided by Wang Manyin's two families, but were counted as hunting for the team. Wang Lianshun agreed at noon to do half day work for the two men whether they can catch wild geese or not.
Wang Manyin had no opinion about this.
It is the same saying that we should not suffer from oligopoly but from inequality. Even if he catches five geese, he can only get points in the village. Otherwise, my family will eat meat and fight for hatred properly.
So far, Orchid has been following his orders.
It is relatively simple to do in the morning and at noon. Only when it gets dark in the evening can life be improved.
When they returned to the village with wild geese in their hands, they immediately caused a sensation, and adults and children were all around to watch the excitement.
One by one, they talked about how to eat wild geese at night.
Wang Manyin quietly pulled Wang Lianshun aside and whispered: "Uncle Lianshun, let's kill two geese first to get over the mouth addiction, and the rest of the meat should be saved. When the second team leaves the warping dam, it will improve the life of the workers."
So many people have seen the geese that it is impossible not to let them eat them, but it is more important to consider the coming warping dam.
The warping dam is a manual work, which needs to be carried by shoulder and hand. If nutrition is not guaranteed, there is no energy to work.
Especially now, when the spring and yellow seasons are not available, many people begin to dig wild vegetables in the mountains.
The Canzi Village is better because it is near the Dongla River and both production teams have some water to irrigate the land. Therefore, there are more grains that can be distributed. Basically, every family has some rations. In addition, they can barely support the wheat harvest by digging wild vegetables.
In Shichuan Village, opposite the mountain, many people have already stopped, and men go out to beg with their mothers, aunts and children.
Not only Shichuan Village... On the Shige Festival side, almost half of the village's victims are like this, including some production team leaders.
Some brigades will issue certificates to facilitate members to beg outside.
"Yes, it is, but now it is not like winter, and the wild goose meat may not be preserved for a long time... With the involvement of Director Zhao, the warping dam doesn't know when it will start, so don't make it stink." Wang Lianshun was worried.
"It's OK, we can make dried geese, and they will be fine after being preserved for several months." Wang Manyin briefly introduced how to dry geese.
He has seen the production of dried chicken in some place of later generations, and the process is not complicated.
It is to kill the chicken, marinate it with salt, and dry it in a ventilated place. However, this traditional method is too slow and needs to wait 20 or 30 days to complete.
Wang Manyin plans to choose another quick way... pickle it and expose it in the sun. If the weather is good, it can be finished in two or three days, but the taste is worse.
In fact, it is suitable to dry wild geese in this weather. Although the temperature is close to zero at night, it can reach more than 10 degrees at noon during the day.
Hearing what Wang Manyin said, Wang Lianshun naturally agreed.
In fact, these days, he is also thinking about how to arrange meals for the laborers. He even came up with a bold idea and didn't dare to discuss it with others for the time being.
After discussion, Wang Lianshun immediately announced that he would eat two geese at night and save the rest to improve the food for the labourers when the silt dam was built.
Although many people were disappointed, they didn't say anything about eating meat at night.
More than ten men joined hands and cleaned up the five geese in a short time.
The chef, Wang Shouchang, is still "squinting eyes". The goose meat is chopped into small pieces and put into a big pot to stew directly with water, and then added with onions, ginger, and pepper... The practice is simple and crude.
There is no way. Now there is a lack of edible oil and various spices. Even if Wang Shouchang has great ability, he can't use it.
Of course, the villagers don't care about the taste. It's good to eat meat these days.
When the goose meat stewed with potatoes is ready, each family will have a flat bowl as usual.
Two geese can produce up to ten jin of meat when they are clean. There are more than 50 families in the second team. Including the educated youth, there are three hundred people. It's very good that one can taste two pieces of meat.
Even so, many members of the first team are envious.
Since winter, the second team has divided meat several times.
Wang Manyin returned with a bowl in one hand and three geese in the other.
None of the others in the village can do the job, which naturally falls on him again.
It's not a waste of effort... Wang Lianshun made it clear that he had salted several geese and counted them as a full day's work. As for the amount of salt used, it should be recorded in the account of the production team and counted together when the dividend is distributed at the end of the year.
Wang Manyin said nothing about the result.
Work points, work points, the lifeblood of members.
Working for the production team, of course, can't be in vain. Some people go to the commune for half a day to hold a meeting, and some people can get "subsidized work points" if they do not work. He should certainly be paid for his work.
Wang Lianshun is relatively honest and tries to be fair in the evaluation of work points. Some influential production team leaders try every means to find reasons to give more processing points to their relatives, and even send team members to work for their own families.
This is also the reason why many production team leaders change every year.
The commune next door also heard a catchphrase: "The captain is going to marry a woman. He has sent two carpenters and made a set of furniture to record the work on the team. Members of the commune raise their opinions and greet them with a smile. Later, they find fault and deduct ten divisions from him. The secretary wants to build a house, and the team looks for helpers. The whole family lives in a new house, but there is no division of labor..."
After dinner, taking advantage of the orchids' efforts to brush the dishes and pans, Wang Manyin set out to be busy.
He has never made dried meat, which is just a mouthpiece. He only knows the specific steps and precautions.
But when I get the job, I roll up my sleeves.
But try to keep the meat dry during curing, otherwise it will easily deteriorate. As for the filling of onions and ginger slices, he didn't know how much to measure, so he had to follow his feeling. Then sprinkle salt and marinate for two days, and put it in the sun.
After being busy for an hour or so, Wang Manyin's hands were sore and he managed to make three geese.
Then, in order to prevent mice, he specially put them in the water tank for preservation.
With rhubarb, Wang Manyin's mice almost disappeared. However, there is no absoluteness. Occasionally, one or two come from other places
However, most of them can't live for long, and they are often dried up by rhubarb without even digging the hole well.
