After two years of missions, Hua Ziqiang got a lot of good things, but he had never seen malted milk.
With the food provided by the mission, as well as seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Hua Ziqiang and his younger siblings had no shortage of food. His grandfather's family would occasionally subsidize him with some cloth coupons through his aunt, so they didn't have to worry about clothes.
So I was very reluctant to spend those few hundred dollars, and I haven’t even spent a fraction of it yet.
All in all, Hua Ziqiang is not short of money.
But even if he had money, he couldn't buy malted milk, as this thing was rarely seen.
He had encountered even gods before, but had never come across malted milk. This thing sounds ordinary, but it was like a treasure that only existed in legends.
It is said that only Hai Shi can get it, but Hua Ziqiang doesn't know whether it is true or not.
Besides, his sister-in-law usually ate well, and Hua Ziqiang didn't have a newborn baby at home, so he never thought about this thing. The appearance of this thing in the mission reward really surprised him.
But after thinking about it, Hua Ziqiang felt that it was not so bad. At present, he had no worries about food and clothing, so it would be nice to get some good food to nourish his body and satisfy his cravings.
Of course, he planned to give a can to his aunt. After all, his aunt was pregnant, so it would be a good idea to get more nutrition.
"hunt?"
Wang Jingxia was stunned, and the look she gave Hua Ziqiang instantly changed. She had always believed in this boy since she was little! Isn't this like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy?
She was just about to catch some game to sell!
Although she didn't dare to go on stage herself for fear of any accidents that might hurt her precious child, she had no problem teaching her nephew how to set a trap.
No one had taught Hua Ziqiang and his siblings before, and they had no idea about it. They only knew the name of the black market and had never thought about doing business in person.
Ever since the wild boar incident, he has completely opened the door to a new world.
It turns out this is possible!
But he was only fifteen years old at the time, and was afraid of being robbed by gangsters, so he didn't dare to go alone.
But things are different now. Hua Ziqiang is seventeen years old this year and can barely be considered an adult.
The educated youth at the age of seventeen could still go to the countryside to suffer hardships, so what was the big deal for him, a native country kid, to work in the black market!
Hua Aihua, the eldest daughter of the Hua family, had a baby when she was seventeen!
Although Hua Ziqiang had no concept of money depreciation, he also knew that if he only spent money without earning any, the money would eventually run out.
So it was just what he wanted to do to go to the mountains and hunt some game to sell and earn some income.
Of course, even if you don’t have money, you won’t starve to death. This is how most people live.
But Hua Ziqiang had so much money after all, and he was extremely unwilling to go back to the days when he had no money at all.
With the help of gods, shouldn't he be able to dream more?
From then on, after finishing his farm work every day, Hua Ziqiang would come to his aunt Wang Jingxia in the afternoon to ask for advice on hunting methods.
There are quite a lot of wild rabbits here. Occasionally, you can see rabbits running by while working in the fields. However, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and this creature runs very fast, so most villagers don't have the time to catch it.
Although this is meat, it has no oil or water. It can satisfy your craving, but it is too tiring and not worth it. It is better to just work honestly.
Wang Jingxia took a branch and drew lines on the ground in the yard:
"Today I'm going to teach you how to catch rabbits. Catching rabbits isn't about traps, it's about finding the paths rabbits often take. Look, for example, these are rabbit paths I drew. If you want to set a trap on one of these paths, then..."
Hua Ziqiang listened with great interest. The more he listened, the more he became fascinated. He didn't expect that there were so many details involved!
No wonder my grandpa’s family makes money!
Seeing that his aunt was talking until her mouth was dry, Hua Ziqiang hurried to the kitchen to pour a glass of boiled water. Wang Jingxia gave him an appreciative look and drank the boiled water in one breath.
Hua Ziqiang and his siblings have been to Old Hua's house so many times that they have become mature and can come and go freely even when going into the house to pour water.
After the lesson, Wang Jingxia said, "You won't learn by just listening. I just taught you how to set the trap. Today, go find a piece of rope and a few branches and try it out. If you can catch it, that's good. If you can't, just consider it practice."
Hua Ziqiang nodded devoutly, went home and found a rope, broke off a few branches on the way to the mountain, and prepared to start practicing.
Even though there are rabbits in the field, if you set a trap there, the rabbits will definitely be taken away.
There are fewer people on the mountain, and only Old Yutou is often active there.
Hua Ziqiang had dealt with Old Yutou many times and knew that Old Yutou would not touch his rabbit.
As he walked, Hua Ziqiang observed carefully and saw several smooth paths on the grass. There were also grains of rabbit droppings on the paths. He guessed that this was probably the path that rabbits often walked on.
He found some thorns to block the remaining paths, and then he set a trap on the only remaining path.
After he set the trap, he measured the distance and placed a branch not far from the trap. According to my aunt, the rabbit would jump forward to avoid the branch, and this jump would just happen to fall into the trap.
My aunt also said that rabbits are easy to escape, and there are always wild cats, dogs, weasels and the like to intercept them, so it is inevitable that there will be empty traps, so she asked him to place a few more.
We have to patrol frequently, there will always be someone who gets caught.
If you are hit, remove the set to avoid accidental injury.
Hua Ziqiang recalled his aunt's words and did as she said one by one. After finishing the arrangements, he went home and waited to check the results early the next morning.
Early the next morning, around five o'clock, Hua Ziqiang couldn't wait to get up. He eagerly read the traps he had set, wanting to see if he had caught any rabbits.
Early in the morning, Hua Ziqiang saw Old Yu carrying a hoe into the mountains, so he greeted him.
"Old Yu, are you planting those sweet potatoes again?"
The past two years have been relatively good, with bumper harvests year after year and high sweet potato production. People in the village have no shortage of sweet potatoes to eat, and some even only eat the big ones, while the smaller ones are used directly to feed pigs.
Although there wasn't enough rice, there was plenty of sweet potatoes. I didn't know why Old Yu was so obsessed with growing sweet potatoes in the mountains.
Old Yu was just wondering why he saw Hua Ziqiang here so early. When he heard this, he immediately remembered the scene two years ago when this kid brought his younger brother and sister-in-law to steal his sweet potatoes, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"You little brat, you don't lack food now. You didn't get up so early just to steal the old man's sweet potatoes, did you?"
Hua Ziqiang laughed out loud when he heard this, and deliberately teased Old Yu:
"Hey, who told you to roast sweet potatoes so deliciously? I'm just craving one!"
Old Yu snorted heavily, carried his hoe and went to the field, not wanting to pay any attention to Hua Ziqiang.
After making the joke, Hua Ziqiang was in a good mood and patrolled the places where he set the traps. He set ten traps in total, five of which seemed to have escaped, and there was no movement from the other three. However, two of them had caught rabbits.
After catching two rabbits, Hua Ziqiang felt that he was lucky.
