Chapter 272 The Mallard Duck

Those few gunshots were indeed the sound of Lao Chen hitting the rabbit with a bird gun. At noon, what was brought to the table was a large pot of stewed and crispy rabbit meat.

There are not many dishes, only three or four dishes, I am afraid that Mr. Wang and the others will not be used to it.Lao Chen cooked a small stove for them alone, a large pot of rabbit meat, boiled dried cowpea with bacon, and also fried a plate of green vegetables and a plate of fried small fish.

"Come on, the conditions in this place are pretty bad, and I didn't say hello beforehand, so I can only make this order. The vegetables are fresh from the vegetable field, the rabbits are freshly harvested, and the bacon is left over from the slaughtered pigs last year. The fish are caught in the big pond, try them all!"

Last year, Zhang Yinshan and the others opened wasteland in front of and behind the house, spread cow dung on it, and planted some green vegetables and peppers. Anyway, the elders in the countryside are very good at farming and tending vegetable gardens !

In this way, the shooting range only needs to bring some rice every month. If you want to eat meat, you can go to the mountains to hunt. The big prey is not too big. Rabbits, pheasants and wild pigeons are everywhere here. [

There is also a steamer in the big pond, and every morning when I go to set up a net, I can’t get away with a big bowl of fish. Lao Chen and the others are growing some vegetables and so on, and they live a simple and rich life for a day.

This is also the reason why many strong laborers in the village are willing to come to the shooting range to herd cattle. There is no wife nagging or worrying things here. You can get a lot of money on time every month. If you have nothing to do, you can play cards together, eat and live. Everything goes well!

"This bacon tastes really good. It looks red and fresh, and it doesn't have that choking smell. There is no refrigerator here. This bacon will not go bad for several months. Is it really strange?"

Wang Yi tried to pick up a tempting piece of bacon glistening with oil. The meat was half a centimeter thick, and the bright red oil looked very fresh. He couldn't help eating it. It was fat but not greasy and smelled very good Fragrant taste.

"How can every household in the countryside have a refrigerator? Everyone cuts up the unfinished bacon during the first lunar month, and then puts it in a big pot to fry the oil. Put it in a big porcelain jar and cover it!"

"In this way, the meat soaked in oil can be stored for one year, and you can take it out whenever you want to eat it. It will not smell bad and looks very fresh!"

Zhang wanted to laugh, my mother used this method when I was a child, whenever it was time to cook bacon.His saliva can flow three feet long!

Seeing that Wang Yi said the bacon was delicious, Ah Yong also picked a big piece and picked it up. Only Tranquility was obsessed with the smell of the bacon, but seeing the swaying oil, he didn't dare to eat it, so he picked up a little bit of that kind of boiled bacon A taste of the dried cowpea.

"It's really delicious! The taste is so strange? But it's really delicious!"

Tranquility also gave a thumbs up.Although there are not many dishes, everyone is very happy to eat together. In the afternoon, Zhang Xiang takes Ah Yong and Wang Yi and plans to wander around here to see if he can shoot some rabbits!

This time, it was Wang Yi who also carried a blunderbuss on his back. The three of them walked excitedly on the grassy hills. Only Zhang thought that he had come to this shooting range several times.For him, there is nothing new here!

"This shooting range doesn't have any decent prey either. Why don't we climb another valley like this. There is a pond there that few people usually go to. The drought is severe now. If there is still water there, there must be other animals drinking there. We might as well try our luck!"

Zhang Xiang was the only one who was familiar with this area. He thought that wandering around the grassland would at most kill a few rabbits. It would be better to turn over a valley and go to another pond to have a look.

The area of ​​the pond is not small. Zhang thinks that he plans to allocate some of the cattle to go there when the number of cattle becomes too large.

"Okay. You are familiar with this place, or I will take you as a guide, but there is one thing, we can't go too far. Otherwise, we can't come back sooner!"

Ayong still had some scruples, he was afraid that if Mr. Wang wanted to find him, it would be bad if he ran away!

"Don't worry, it's only three or five miles away, and we'll be there soon!"

Zhang wanted to smile. In fact, standing at his position, he could see the valley with the pond, but "Watching the mountain and running to death", the place you can see in the mountain is still relatively far away if you really want to go there. Because there are few straight roads in the mountains, all of them have seven turns and eight turns.

Sparrows and wild pigeons startled from time to time on the grass where they walked, and there were some "soso" sounds, which probably alarmed some small animals. [

"Zhang thinks that your life is really comfortable. You go out to hunt when you have nothing to do. When it's hot, you can catch fish and shrimps and go to the lake to take a bath. It's like a fairy's life!"

Wang Yi stayed here for a few days, and was very envious of this kind of life. Zhang Xiang's life was too carefree. The air in this small mountain village is good, and he won't feel his nose and throat dry when he wakes up in the morning.

After staying in a big city for a long time, the exhaust gas from the cars is what he breathes, and his nose always feels like he has rhinitis, which is very uncomfortable. There is a place like this, and it feels like a paradise to him!

"You only stay here for a few days, and you find it interesting. If you really want to stay for a year, you will definitely not be able to bear this kind of loneliness. This small mountain village still doesn't have the prosperity and convenience of a city."

Zhang wanted to smile, Wang Yi and A Yong only came here for a few days if they had time to play, if they lived in the countryside for a long time, they would be suffocated to death, presumably only those who are indifferent can live here permanently!

There are fun places in the countryside, and there are times for people to chat. At night, there will be no feasting and feasting like in the metropolis. If you just want to have a supper, you have no place to buy it with money!

"Anyway, I like this place very much. I have made you a friend. I will come to you when I am free in the future!"

Wang Yi didn't take it seriously, everyone's opinion is different, but he thinks the countryside is really nice.

A few people stopped and walked, but they saw a few jumping rabbits on the road, Zhang Xiang stopped them all, and signaled them not to startle the snakes, but to rush to the pond to see what prey there is, and then strike.

A few months ago, Zhang Xiang still remembered that the area of ​​the pond here was not small. This time, he saw that the area of ​​the pond had shrunk by half, leaving only one or two acres of water, and the water level had also dropped a lot.

"Shhh. Go easy, there are wild ducks!"

Zhang Xiang's eyesight was extraordinary, he could see many wild ducks swimming in the pond from a long distance away.I am overjoyed, this wild duck tastes good, it would be just right if I take a few of them home and burn them to eat!

Wild duck, also known as big-headed green duck, is a wild species of domestic duck.Mallard ducks can fly at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour.The head and neck of the male duck are green and metallic, and there are 4 tail feathers in the center of the tail that curl upwards like hooks.

The male ducks are mostly dark grayish-brown upperparts, grayish-white underparts, and a white neck ring separates the black-green head and chestnut chest.The back of the female duck is dark brown with light brownish red broad sides; the belly is warm brownish red with brown spots scattered, and the tail feathers are not curly.The female is mottled brown with dark eye-lines.

This kind of wild duck generally weighs two to three kilograms. The duck has webbed toes, but it rarely dives. When swimming, its tail is above the water. It is good at foraging, playing in water and courting and mating.Omnivorous, the staple food is various weed seeds, stems and roots, and also eats insects, molluscs and worms.

Its meat is more delicate than domestic duck, and its taste is more delicious.Wild duck meat has the functions of warming the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing the liver and nourishing qi, nourishing yin deficiency, and nourishing but not dry.Eating can strengthen the body and has high medicinal value.

When Wang Yi and A Yong heard what Zhang Xiang said, they immediately tiptoed to a standstill and looked carefully towards the middle of the pond. They saw seven or eight wild ducks in the pond, including three male mallards.

Zhang Xiang looked at the three male wild ducks and made a rough estimate in his heart. Each duck weighed at least three catties. If he caught one of them, he would be able to stew a jar of wild duck soup, guaranteed to be delicious!

He picked up the blunderbuss and aimed at the male duck. Before he could shoot, he saw a dog beside the pond that looked like a dog but not a dog. Its coat color was usually rich reddish brown, its tail was fluffy, and its tail was slightly white. It is black, with pointed ears, and looks like a fox like a dog.

The strange thing is that the fox is doing a very strange behavior by the pond.The few of them looked at each other, and they all put down their guns. I don't know what happened? (To be continued.
