The soft, large thing under my feet was dark yellow all over, almost the same color as a withered leaf.
I don't know how long it had been trapped, but it was definitely dead. Otherwise, being trampled on like that, it would have been jumping around and kicking itself a long time ago.
Lin Mo and Awang came over when they heard the noise, and he peeked over.
Wow! It's a roe deer!
It's an adult, weighing at least fifty pounds!
"Wow!" Awang exclaimed in surprise.
"This pit looks so shallow, yet it's possible to catch something big!"
Lin Mo smiled and explained without any attempt to hide his feelings:
"This is not a simple pit, but an artificial swamp pit. People with thin arms and legs will lose their strength once they step into it."
After hearing this, Miao Qingsong and Awang nodded excitedly, feeling they had learned something new!
It was definitely the right decision to come along; I learned a lot of skills!
Lin Mo had already listed more than a dozen recipes for this roe deer in his mind, and pictures of various ways of cooking roe deer meat were playing in his mind.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
But no, if I eat it like this, it'll be gone.
Long ago, when my father was still alive, he was very good at making aspic.
When I was a child, whenever my dad caught wild game, he would usually boil it into aspic. Aspic could be preserved for about the same amount of time as cured meat; as long as it was refrigerated, it could be kept for a long time.
In addition, it's autumn now, and ten pounds of meat can make more than twenty pounds of aspic, enough for the whole family to eat meat every day for a month.
Thinking back to the time I ate a piece of aspic that my dad made, my mouth really watered.
boil!
But after cooking it, don't eat it yourself first. Go ask the village chief if he has connections to buy aspic, because he remembers that the Russians in the north like to eat aspic.
Hmm, the probability is high, let's give it a try!
"Drag the roe deer out and leave it here first. Our main purpose this time is to chase rabbits."
"If the three of us work together, we can provide all the seedlings that everyone in the village needs for raising livestock!"
"good!"
At Lin Mo's shout, Miao Qingsong and Awang followed without any objection!
Chasing rabbits was something they were already very good at.
One person bundled firewood, another looked for a burrow, while Lin Mo went to find a suitable rabbit to chase down the slope, and then waited at the bottom of the slope.
"Found it!"
Awang quickly started shouting, and without needing to call out again, Miao Qingsong ran over with the firewood in his arms.
A quick glance at Lin Mo's location gave him a clear idea of the route to chase the rabbit.
Not long after the smoky smoke began to spread, smoke began to rise from the nearby bushes on the side.
Before even spotting the rabbit, Miao Qingsong decisively pounced on it, anticipating its arrival.
Sure enough, just a few seconds after he arrived, a beautiful, grayish-yellow wild rabbit hopped out from inside.
"Hey!"
"Smack."
One person chased the rabbit down the slope, but the rabbit only hopped once before it started to stumble and fall down the slope.
Lin Mo, who had been waiting for a long time, casually covered the basket with his hand, and a beautiful golden rabbit was in his hands.
Under the sun, the golden rabbit's fur is a glossy golden color with a gradient effect, becoming paler towards the sides.
If it were made into a fur collar, that would be absolutely amazing. Add a pair of sunglasses, and you'd exude the luxurious and glamorous aura of a triad boss.
After a long day of frantic activity, most of the rabbits caught were a dull gray, like tree bark.
On its own, a dull gray color isn't very attractive, but when made into fur, as long as the design is good, it can still look incredibly luxurious.
I was planning to make one for Xiaohua first, but the village chief is confirmed to be buying rabbit fur.
First, we need to earn money. Even if we can't make a fur coat for Xiaohua, we can still make her a new cotton-padded coat with the money.
Pheasant feathers can also be used to make down jackets, which are warmer than cotton-padded jackets.
"Hehehe, I'm rich!"
As evening approached, the three men, who had been chasing the rabbit for a long time, gradually ran out of even the burlap sacks they had brought.
Even the baskets they carried on their backs were stuffed with four or five rabbits.
Take inventory before returning home.
Holy crap! They actually caught 37 of them!
37 of them!
I never dared to dream of something this beautiful!
While counting, Lin Mo repackaged the rabbits, two in each sack, and handed six sacks to Miao Qingsong.
Awang also had six sacks.
I packed 12 of them into two baskets, carrying one in front and one in back on my back. They were incredibly heavy, but it was manageable.
"There's one more rabbit..."
"Brother Lin! You keep it!" Miao Qingsong interrupted before Lin Mo could finish explaining his distribution plan:
“You were scammed out of two wild chickens by Ah Jun’s aunt. We agreed that we would compensate you.”
"This extra one is yours, and we'll each give you two more rabbits as compensation."
Awang echoed:
"Yes, being able to learn the craft is already a bonus, and we even feel that we're getting a good deal by splitting it like this."
Lin Mo felt a warm glow inside when he heard these words.
At least these two Miao brothers aren't ungrateful; they're quite good.
Lin Mo himself wasn't the type to care about taking more or less, or whether he made a profit or loss. He was happy to let people with good character take more.
However, while knowing how to give kindness, one must also know how to receive kindness from others.
"Alright, I won't ramble on any longer. From now on, things will only get better and better for us." Lin Mo nodded in acceptance.
“That’s right, things will only get better,” Awang said with a grin.
Lin Mo accepted their compensation. He didn't feel like he had lost out or suffered any loss; on the contrary, he felt inexplicably happy.
But I can't quite put my finger on what that feeling is.
Anyway, it felt strangely good.
